De libro Deuteronómii 32, 48-52; 34, 1-12
De morte Moysis
In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen in eádem die dicens:
«Ascénde in montem istum Abárim, in montem Nebo, qui est in terra Moab contra Iéricho, et vide terram Chánaan, quam ego tradam fíliis Israel obtinéndam. Et mórere in monte, quem conscéndens iúngeris pópulo tuo, sicut mórtuus est Aaron frater tuus in monte Hor et appósitus pópulo suo. Quia prævaricáti estis contra me in médio filiórum Israel ad aquas Meribathcádes desérti Sin, quia non sanctificástis me inter fílios Israel. E contra vidébis terram et non ingrediéris in eam, quam ego dabo fíliis Israel».
Ascéndit ergo Móyses de campéstribus Moab super montem Nebo in vérticem Phasga contra Iéricho; ostendítque ei Dóminus omnem terram Gálaad usque Dan et univérsum Néphthali terrámque Ephraim et Manásse et omnem terram Iudæ usque ad mare occidentále et Nageb et latitúdinem campi Iéricho civitátis palmárum usque Segor. Dixítque Dóminus ad eum: «Hæc est terra, pro qua iurávi Abraham, Isaac et Iacob dicens: Sémini tuo dabo eam. Vidísti eam óculis tuis et non transíbis ad illam».
Mortuúsque est ibi Móyses servus Dómini in terra Moab, iubénte Dómino. Et sepelívit eum in valle in terra Moab contra Béthphegor; et non cognóvit homo sepúlcrum eius usque in præséntem diem. Móyses centum et vigínti annórum erat, quando mórtuus est; non caligávit óculus eius, nec robur illíus defécit. Fleverúntque eum fílii Israel in campéstribus Moab trigínta diébus; et compléti sunt dies planctus lugéntium Móysen.
Iósue vero fílius Nun replétus est spíritu sapiéntiæ, quia Móyses pósuit super eum manus suas; et oboediérunt ei fílii Israel fecerúntque, sicut præcépit Dóminus Móysi.
Et non surréxit ultra prophéta in Israel sicut Móyses, quem nosset Dóminus fácie ad fáciem, in ómnibus signis atque porténtis, quæ misit eum, ut fáceret in terra Ægypti pharaóni et ómnibus servis eius universæque terræ illíus, et in cuncta manu robústa magnísque mirabílibus, quæ fecit Móyses coram univérso Israel.

Ex Constitutióne pastoráli Gaudium et spes Concílii Vaticáni secúndi de Ecclésia in mundo huius témporis
(Nn. 18. 22)
Mysterium mortis
Coram morte ænígma condiciónis humánæ máximum evádit. Non tantum cruciátur homo dolóre et córporis dissolutióne progrediénte, sed étiam, immo magis, perpétuæ exstinctiónis timóre. Recte autem instínctu cordis sui iúdicat, cum totálem ruínam et definitívum éxitum suæ persónæ abhórret et réspuit. Semen æternitátis quod in se gerit, ad solam matériam cum irreductíbile sit, contra mortem insúrgit. Omnia téchnicæ artis molímina. Licet perutília, anxietátem hóminis sedáre non valent: prorogáta enim biológica longævitas illi ulterióris vitæ desidério satisfácere nequit, quod cordi eius ineluctabíliter inest.
Dum coram morte omnis imaginátio déficit, Ecclésia tamen, revelatióne divína edócta, hóminem ad beátum finem, ultra terréstris misériæ límites, a Deo creátum esse affírmat. Mors ínsuper corporális, a qua homo si non peccásset subtráctus fuísset, fides christiána docet fore ut vincátur, cum homo in salútem, culpa sua pérditam, ab omnipoténte et miseránte Salvatóre restituétur. Deus enim hóminem vocávit et vocat, ut ei in perpétua incorruptíbilis vitæ divínæ communióne tota sua natúra adhæreat. Quam victóriam Christus, hóminem a morte per mortem suam liberándo, ad vitam resúrgens adéptus est. Cuicúmque ígitur recogitánti hómini fides, cum sólidis arguméntis obláta, in eius anxietáte de sorte futúra respónsum offert; simúlque facultátem præbet cum diléctis frátribus iam morte præréptis in Christo communicándi, spem cónferens eos veram vitam apud Deum adéptos esse.
Christiánum certe urgent necéssitas et offícium contra malum per multas tribulatiónes certándi necnon mortem patiéndi; sed mystério pascháli consociátus, Christi morti configurátus, ad resurrectiónem spe roborátus occúrret.
Quod non tantum pro christifidélibus valet, sed et pro ómnibus homínibus bonæ voluntátis in quorum corde grátia invisíbili modo operátur. Cum enim pro ómnibus mórtuus sit Christus cumque vocátio hóminis última revéra una sit, scílicet divína, tenére debémus Spíritum Sanctum cunctis possibilitátem offérre ut, modo Deo cógnito, huic pascháli mystério consociéntur.
Tale et tantum est hóminis mystérium, quod per revelatiónem christiánam credéntibus illucéscit. Per Christum et in Christo, ígitur, illuminátur ænígma dolóris et mortis, quod extra eius Evangélium nos óbruit. Christus resurréxit, morte sua mortem déstruens, vitámque nobis largítus est ut, fílii in Fílio, clamémus in Spíritu: Abba, Pater!
Responsorium Ps 26 (27), 1; 22 (23), 4ab
v. Si ambulávero in valle umbræ mortis, non timébo mala, quóniam tu mecum es. * Dóminus protéctor.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium; ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genetrícis memóriam ágimus; intercessiónis eius auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Dóminum.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
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.
