Traditional Latin Mass Gospel Readings

[51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi.

[52] If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.
Si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in aeternum : et panis quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita.

[53] The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Litigabant ergo Judaei ad invicem, dicentes : Quomodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducandum?

[54] Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Amen, amen dico vobis : nisi manducaveritis carnem Filii hominis, et biberitis ejus sanguinem, non habebitis vitam in vobis.

[55] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
Qui manducat meam carnem, et bibit meum sanguinem, habet vitam aeternam : et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

Introit: 4 Esdr. 2.34,35

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:

Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,

et lux perpetua luceat eis.

and may light eternal shine upon them.
