De Epístula prima beáti Ioánnis apóstoli 2, 12-17
Scribo vobis, filíoli: Remíssa sunt vobis peccáta propter nomen eius. Scribo vobis, patres: Nostis eum, qui ab inítio est. Scribo vobis, adulescéntes: Vicístis Malígnum. Scripsi vobis, párvuli: Nostis Patrem.
Scripsi vobis, patres: Nostis eum, qui ab inítio est. Scripsi vobis, adulescéntes: Fortes estis, et verbum Dei in vobis manet et vicístis Malígnum.
Nolíte dilígere mundum neque ea quæ in mundo sunt. Si quis díligit mundum, non est cáritas Patris in eo; quóniam omne quod est in mundo, concupiscéntia carnis et concupiscéntia oculórum et iactántia divitiárum, non est ex Patre, sed ex mundo est. Et mundus transit et concupiscéntia eius; qui autem facit voluntátem Dei, manet in ætérnum.
r. Deduc me in sémitam mandatórum tuórum, allelúia, quóniam ipsam vólui, allelúia. * Inclína cor meum in testimónia tua, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Avérte óculos meos, ne vídeant vanitátem; in via tua vivífica me. * Inclína. v. Glória Patri. * Inclína.
In secundo nocturno, anno I )
Ex Tractátibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi in Epístulam primam Ioánnis (Tract. 2, 8-9: SC 75, 166-168)
Hæc ómnia, fratres, quia cognóvimus id quod a princípio est, quia fortes sumus, quia cognóvimus Patrem: ómnia ista quasi cognitiónem comméndant, caritátem non comméndant? Si cognóvimus, amémus: nam cognítio sine caritáte non salvos facit. Sciéntia inflat, cáritas ædíficat. Si confitéri vultis et non amáre, incípitis dæmónibus símiles esse. Confitebántur dmones Fílium Dei, et dicébant: Quid nobis et tibi? Et repellebántur. Confitémini et amplectímini. Illi enim timébant de iniquitátibus suis; vos amáte dimissórem iniquitátum vestrárum.
Sed quómodo potérimus amáre Deum, si amámus mundum? Parat nos ergo inhabitári caritáte. Duo sunt amóres, mundi et Dei: si mundi amor hábitet, non est qua intret amor Dei. Recédat amor mundi, et hábitet Dei; mélior accípiat locum. Amábas mundum, noli amáre mundum; cum exháuseris cor tuum amóre terréno, háuries amórem divínum; et íncipit habitáre iam cáritas, de qua nihil mali potest procédere. Audíte ergo verba purgántis modo. Quasi agrum ínvenit corda hóminum. Sed quómodo ínvenit? Si silvam ínvenit, exstírpat; si agrum purgátum ínvenit, plantat. Plantáre ibi vult árborem, caritátem. Et quam silvam vult exstirpáre? Amórem mundi. Audi exstirpatórem silvæ: Nolíte dilígere mundum, hoc enim séquitur, neque ea quæ sunt in mundo. Si quis diléxerit mundum, diléctio Patris non est in ipso.
Audístis quia si quis diléxerit mundum, diléctio Patris non est in ipso. Ne quis dicat in corde suo falsum esse hoc, fratres; Deus dicit, per Apóstolum Spíritus Sanctus locútus est, nihil vérius: Si quis diléxerit mundum, diléctio Patris non est in ipso. Vis habére dilectiónem Patris, ut sis cohéres Fílii? Noli dilígere mundum. Exclúde malum amórem mundi, ut impleáris amóre Dei. Vas es, sed adhuc plenus es; funde quod habes, ut accípias quod non habes. Certe iam renáti sunt ex aqua et Spíritu fratres nostri; et nos ante áliquot annos renáti sumus ex aqua et Spíritu. Bonum est nobis ut non diligámus mundum, ne remáneant in nobis sacraménta ad damnatiónem, non firmaménta ad salútem. Firmaméntum salútis est habére radícem caritátis, habére virtútem pietátis, non formam solam.
r. Deus, cánticum novum cantábo tibi, allelúia; * In psaltério decem chordárum psallam tibi, allelúia, allelúia. v. Qui das salútem régibus, qui liberásti David servum tuum de gládio malígno. * In psaltério. v. Glória Patri. * In psaltério.
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.
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.
