Feast of the Five Holy Wounds.

That feast, an old medieval feast, whose mass and office survived in the Roman Missal until Pius XII's trimmings, is this Friday. I haven't been to a mass celebrating that feast in ages.Interestingly, parts of the mass of the feast (the missa Misericordias Domini) were incorporated into the missa Misericordias Domini of the new Roman Missal,which is the mass De Dei Misericordia-the mass of the Mercy of God. So if a priest celebrated this mass, they could (More or less at least) be celebrating the feast of the Five Wounds (Hint-hint.)

Anyway, here is the office of the feast (Minus matins) from a monastic breviary:

At I vespers:
Psalms of Good Friday, antiphons as at lauds.
Resp.Breve.
V.Ipse vulneratus est*propter iniquitates nostras
R.Ipse vulneratus est,etc.
V.Attritus est propter sclera nostra
R.Propter iniquitates nostras.
V.Gloria Patri.
R.Ipse vulneratus est, etc.

Hymn:Vexilla Regis prodeunt.

V. Videbunt in quem transfixerunt
R. Et dolebant super eum,ut in morte promogeniti.

Ad Magnif.Ant. Dum in cruce penderet unigenitus Dei filius,et ab omnibus subsannaretur,mater eius virgo Maria ipsum verum Deum at hominum condolens venerabatuur.
Collect as at lauds.

At Lauds:

Ant.1 Vere langores nostros* ipse tulit, et dolores nostros ipse portavit.
Ant.2 Ipse autem* vulneratus est propter iniquitates nostras, attritus est propter sclera nostra.
Ant.3 Alligavit Dominus* plagam populi suis, et percussam eius sanavit.
Ant.4 Omnis, qui transibit, stupebit super omnes plagas eius.
Ant.5 O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus.
Capit. Is. 53:5

V. Vere languores nostros*Ipse tulit.
R.Vere languores nostros,etc.
V.Et dolores nostros ipse portavit.
R.Ipse tulit.
V. Gloria Patri.
R. Vere languores, etc.

Hymn: Lustra sex, qui iam peracta.

Ad Ben. ant. Unus militum lancea latus eius aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua.

Collect.
Deus,qui Unigeniti Filii tui passione, et per quinque Vulnera eius Sanguinis effusione humanam naturam peccato perditam reparasti; tribue nobis, quaesumus, ut qui ab eo suscepta Vulnera veneramur in terris, eiusdem pretiosissimi Sanguinis fructum consequi mereamur in caelis. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

At terce:
Ant.Ipse autem, etc.
Cap. as at lauds.
V.O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam
R.Attendite et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus.

R.Et livore eius sanatis sum

At None.
Ant. Omnes quis transibit, etc.
Cap. Is.53:2
V. Oblatus est, quia ipse voluit
R. Et non aperuit os eius

At II vespers:
Ad Mag.ant.
Ego sum vestra redemptio:Manus meae;quae vos fecerunt, clavis confixae sunt:Propter vos flagellis caesus sum,spinis coronatus sum; aquam petii pendens, et acetum porrexerunt in escam meam fel dederunt, et in latus lanceam: mortuus, et sepultus resurrexit: vobiscum, et vivo in aeternum.


I'll add the actual texts for the chapters later. I also have the offices of the feasts of the crown of thorns and Holy Winding-sheet, which I'll type out later.
