Die 20 februarii
1. Alexandríæ, commemorátio sancti Serapiónis, mártyris, qui, sub Décio imperatóre, ita crudelíssimis afféctus est supplíciis, ut cunctæ ei iunctúræ membrórum prius frangeréntur, póstea ipse de superióribus domus suæ locis præcipitarćtur.
2. Commemorátio beatórum quinque mártyrum, qui, sub Diocletiáno imperatóre, Tyri in Phœnícia occísi sunt; primo quidem flagris toto córpore dilaniáti, inde denudáti et in aréna pósiti ac divérsis bestiárum genéribus tráditi, firmam atque immóbilem in iuvenílibus corpóribus constántiam præbuérunt; ex his unus præsértim, nondum vigínti annos natus, nullis constríctus vínculis, bráchiis in crucis modum expánsis, preces ad Deum fundébat; omnes vero a béstiis ante irritátis incólumes, gládio tandem occísi sunt.
3. Antiochíæ in Syria, commemorátio sancti Tyranniónis, epíscopi Tyri et mártyris, qui, inde a prima ætáte fide christiána erudítus, únguibus férreis lacerátus cum presbytero Zenóbio, láuream adéptus est.
4. Tornáci in Gállia Bélgica, sancti Eleuthérii, epíscopi.
5. Sancti Trudónis Fani in Brabántia Austrásiæ, tránsitus sancti Euchérii, epíscopi Aurelianénsis, qui, a Cárolo Martéllo duce propter invidórum calúmnias ad exsílium coáctus, pium refúgium inter mónachos invénit.
6. Cátanæ in Sicília, sancti Leónis, epíscopi, qui páuperum curæ summópere cavit.
7 *. In loco Aljustrel prope Fátimam in Lusitánia, beátæ Hyacínthæ Marto, quæ, quamvis puélla adhuc esset téneræ ætátis, perníciem morbi, quo affécta erat, patiénter pértulit et devotiónem in beátam Maríam Vírginem omni stúdio testáta est.
8 *. In loco Stutthof prope Gedánum in Polónia, beátæ Iúliæ Rodzińska, vírginis e Congregatióne Sorórum Sancti Domínici et mártyris, quæ, pátria in bello vastáta, in campum detentiónis trusa est, ubi letáli morbo affécta ad glóriam cæléstem pervénit.
Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.
r. Deo grátias.

Lectio brevis (1Thess 2, 9-12)
Mémores estis, fratres, labóris nostri et fatigatiónis; nocte et die operántes, ne quem vestrum gravarémus, prædicávimus in vobis evangélium Dei. Vos testes estis et Deus, quam sancte et iuste et sine queréla vobis, qui credidístis, fúimus; sicut scitis quáliter unumquémque vestrum, tamquam pater fílios suos, deprecántes vos et consolántes testificáti sumus, ut ambularétis digne Deo, qui vocat vos in suum regnum et glóriam.
For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God. You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed: As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children,) We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
Verbum Dómini. r. Deo grátias.
Word of the Lord. r. Let us give thanks to God.
Sancta María et omnes Sancti intercédant pro nobis ad Dóminum, ut nos mereámur ab eo adiuvári et salvári, qui vivit et regnat in sǽcula sæculórum. r. Amen.
May Saint Mary and all the Saints intercede for us with the Lord, that we may deserve to be helped and saved by him who lives and reigns for ever and ever. r. Amen.
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
Et fidélium ánimæ per misericórdiam Dei requiéscant in pace. r. Amen.
And may their souls rest in peace through the mercy of God. r. Amen.
v. Ite in pace. r. Deo grátias.
