From The Missal According to the Carmelite Rite in Latin and English for Every Day in the Year (Rome: Vatican Polyglot Press, 1953), here is the Mass of the thirteenth Sunday after Trinity, which corresponds to the fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost in the Roman Missal.
Those beautiful words that welled forth from the Sacred Heart of Our Lord in an excess of unfathomable loving-kindness, of which Holy Mother Church had reminded on the twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, are repeated by the Carmelite Priests this Sunday: "Beati oculi qui vident quæ vos videtis."
Such words ought to resonate and thrill our very frames as we behold the dread Mysteries of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered by the Priest upon the sacred Altar: particularly ought we to be mindful of them as we approach the Communion rail to have that beatitude that exceeds even that which graced merely the eyes of those who saw Our Lord tread this little planet and yet never received Him in Holy Communion (such as the holy ancient Simeon and the prophetess Anna, who saw and adored the Incarnate Word as He entered His Temple). For Whom they merely beheld, we truly receive completely, in His Deity and Humanity veiled by the accidents of the sacred species.
