Traditional Latin Mass Gospel Readings

I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
Ego sum vitis vera, et Pater meus agricola est.

2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum, tollet eum, et omnem qui fert fructum, purgabit eum, ut fructum plus afferat.

3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
Jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
Manete in me, et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest fere fructum a semetipso, nisi manserit in vite, sic nec vos, nisi in me manseritis.

5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
Ego sum vitis, vos palmites : qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, quia sine me nihil potestis facere.

6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.
Si quis in me non manserit, mittetur foras sicut palmes, et arescet, et colligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet.

7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.
Si manseritis in me, et verba mea in vobis manserint, quodcumque volueritis petetis, et fiet vobis.

St Stanislaus, patron of Poland, reproached king Boleslaus the Cruel, for his dissolute life, and while saying Mass, was put to death by him. A.D. 1079.
