Hymnus

Lætáre, cælum, désuper, appláude, tellus ac mare: Christus resúrgens post crucem vitam dedit mortálibus.

Iam tempus accéptum redit, dies salútis cérnitur, quo mundus Agni sánguine refúlsit a calígine.

Mors illa, mortis pássio, est críminis remíssio; illæ ́ sa virtus pérmanet, victus dedit victóriam.

Nostræ fuit gustus spei hic, ut fidéles créderent se posse post resúrgere, vitam beátam súmere.

Nunc ergo pascha cándidum causa bonórum tálium colámus omnes strénue tanto repléti múnere.

Esto perénne méntibus paschále, Iesu, gáudium, et nos renátos grátiæ tuis triúmphis ággrega.

Lord Jesus, grant unto our souls Eternal paschal joy, we pray, And grant a share in victory To those reborn by grace today.

Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui morte victa prǽnites, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

All glory, Jesus, be to you, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with you for evermore.

Psalmus 38 (39)

Psalm 38

Ægrotantis deprecatio

The cripple's supplication

Vanitati creatura subiecta est... propter eum qui subiecit eam in spe (Rom 8, 20).

Creation has been subjected to vanity ... because of him who subjected it in hope.

Dixi: «Custódiam vias meas, * ut non delínquam in lingua mea;

I said, I will watch over my ways, so that I sin not with my tongue.

ponam ori meo custódiam, * donec consístit peccátor advérsum me».

I put a guard to my mouth, whilst the sinner rose before me.

Tacens obmútui et sílui absque ullo bono, * et dolor meus renovátus est.

I have been silent, and I have humbled myself, and I have refrained from saying even good things; and my pain was renewed.

Concáluit cor meum intra me, * et in meditatióne mea exársit ignis.

My heart was warmed within me, and whilst I was meditating, a fire was ignited.

Locútus sum in lingua mea: * «Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum;

The word came on my tongue, "Let me know my end, O Lord,

et númerum diérum meórum quis est, * ut sciam quam brevis sit vita mea».

and what is the number of my days, so that I may know how little I have left.

Ecce paucórum palmórum fecísti dies meos, * et spátium vitæ meæ tamquam níhilum ante te.

Behold, Thou hast subjected my days to a limited measure, and my being is like nothingness before Thou.

Etenim univérsa vánitas omnis homo constitútus est. * Etenim ut imágo pertránsit homo.

Yes, every living man is naught but vanity.Yes, man passes by like a phantom,

Étenim vánitas est et concitátur; * thesaurízat et ignórat quis congregábit ea.

and it is in vain that he torments himself. He is hoarding treasures, and he doth not know for whom he hath heaped them up.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

I was silent, and I did not open my mouth, forasmuch as Thou didst it

Turn away from me Thy blows, under the power of Thy hand, I fainted, when Thou tookest me back

Thou hast punished man forasmuch as of his iniquity. And Thou hast dried up his soul like a spider. Yes, it is in vain that every man is anxious.

Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, * et clamórem meum áuribus pércipe.

Hearken, O Lord, my prayer and my supplication;

Ad lácrimas meas ne obsurdéscas, † quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, * peregrínus sicut omnes patres mei.

Be attentive to my tears. Do not be silent, for I am a stranger and a traveler with Thou, like all my fathers.

Give me some rest, that I may be refreshed before I go away and disappear."

Psalmus 51

Psalm 51

Contra calumniatorem

Against slanderers

Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur (I Cor 1,31).

Let him who glories glory in the Lord

Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es iniquitáte?

Wherefore do thou glory in evil, thou who are valiant in committing iniquity?

Tota die insídias cogitásti; * lingua tua sicut novácula acúta, qui facis dolum.

All day long thy tongue has meditated on injustice; Like a sharp razor, thou practice deception.

Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem, † mendácium magis quam loqui æquitátem. * Dilexísti ómnia verba perditiónis, lingua dolósa.

Thou hast loved malice more than goodness, iniquity more than words of righteousness. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.

Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem; † evéllet te et emigrábit te de tabernáculo * et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.

Wherefore God will destroy thou forevermore; He shall pluck thou out of thy tent and take thou out of thy tent, and He shall take away thy root from the land of the living.

Vidébunt iústi et timébunt * et super eum ridébunt:

The righteous will behold it, and will fear; and they will laugh at him, saying:

“Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum refúgium suum, † sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum * et præváluit in insídiis suis.”

Here is the man who did not take God for his protector, but who trusted in the multitude of his riches, and who took advantage of his vanity.

Ego autem sicut virens olíva in domo Dei. † Sperávi in misericórdia Dei * in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.

But I am like a fertile olive tree in the house of God. * I hope in God's mercy forevermore and ever.

Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti; † et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est; * in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum

I will praise Thee endlessly, forasmuch as Thou hast done this; and I will wait for Thy Name, forasmuch as it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

De Epístula prima beáti Ioánnis apóstoli 2, 18-29

Filíoli, novíssima hora est; et sicut audístis quia antichrístus venit, ita nunc antichrísti multi adsunt, unde cognóscimus quóniam novíssima hora est. Ex nobis prodiérunt, sed non erant ex nobis, nam si fuíssent ex nobis, permansíssent nobíscum; sed ut manifestarétur quóniam illi omnes non sunt ex nobis. Sed vos unctiónem habétis a Sancto et scitis omnes. Non scripsi vobis quasi nesciéntibus veritátem sed quasi sciéntibus eam, et quóniam omne mendácium ex veritáte non est. Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quóniam Iesus est Christus? Hic est antichrístus, qui negat Patrem et Fílium.

Omnis qui negat Fílium, nec Patrem habet; qui confitétur Fílium, et Patrem habet. Vos, quod audístis ab inítio, in vobis permáneat; si in vobis permánserit quod ab inítio audístis, et vos in Fílio et in Patre manébitis. Et hæc est repromíssio quam ipse pollícitus est nobis: vitam ætérnam.

Hæc scripsi vobis de eis qui sedúcunt vos. Et vos unctiónem quam accepístis ab eo, manet in vobis, et non necésse habétis ut áliquis dóceat vos; sed sicut únctio ipsíus docet vos de ómnibus, et verum est et non est mendácium, et, sicut dócuit vos, manétis in eo. Et nunc, filíoli, manéte in eo ut, cum apparúerit, habeámus fidúciam et non confundámur ab eo in advéntu eius. Si scitis quóniam iustus est, scitóte quóniam et omnis qui facit iustítiam, ex ipso natus est.

r. Allelúia. Audívimus eum in Ephrata, invénimus eum in campis silvæ; * Introívimus in tabernáculum eius, adorávimus in loco ubi stetérunt pedes eius, allelúia, allelúia. v. Surge, Dómine, in réquiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificatiónis tuæ. * Introívimus. v. Glória Patri. * Introívimus.

In secundo nocturno, anno I )

Ex Tractátibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi in Epístulam primam Ioánnis (Tract. 3, 12-13: SC 75, 208-210)

Hæc scripsi vobis de his qui vos sedúcunt: ut sciátis quia unctiónem habétis, et únctio quam accépimus ab eo permáneat in nobis. Unctiónis sacraméntum est, virtus ipsa invisíbilis, únctio invisíbilis, Spíritus Sanctus; únctio invisíbilis, cáritas illa est quæ in quocúmque fúerit, tamquam radix illi erit, quamvis ardénte sole aréscere non potest. Omne quod radicátum est, nutrítur calóre solis, non aréscit.

Et non habétis necessitátem ut áliquis vos dóceat, quia únctio ipsíus docet vos de ómnibus. Quid ergo nos fácimus, fratres, quia docémus vos? Si únctio eius docet vos de ómnibus, quasi nos sine causa laborámus. Et ut quid tantum clamámus? Dimittámus vos unctióni illíus, et dóceat vos únctio ipsíus. Sed modo mihi fácio quæstiónem, et illi ipsi Apóstolo fácio: dignétur audíre párvulum quæréntem a se; ipsi Ioánni dico: «Unctiónem habébant quibus loquebáris? Tu dixísti quia únctio ipsíus docet vos de ómnibus. Ut quid talem epístulam fecísti? Quid illos tu docébas? Quid instruébas? Quid ædificábas?»

Iam hic vidéte magnum sacraméntum, fratres: sonus verbórum nostrórum aures pércutit, magíster intus est. Nolíte putáre quemquam áliquid díscere ab hómine. Admonére póssumus per strépitum vocis nostræ; si non sit intus qui dóceat, inánis fit strépitus noster. Ipse vobis ergo intus loquátur, quando nemo hóminum illic est; quia etsi áliquis est a látere tuo, nullus est in corde tuo. Et non sit nullus in corde tuo; Christus sit in corde tuo; únctio ipsíus sit in corde, ne sit in solitúdine cor sítiens, et non habens fontes quibus irrigétur. Intérior ergo magíster est qui docet: Christus docet, inspirátio ipsíus docet. Ubi illíus inspirátio et únctio illíus non est, forínsecus inániter pérstrepunt verba.

r. Dicant nunc qui redémpti sunt, allelúia, * A Dómino, allelúia. v. Psalmum dícite nómini eius, date glóriam laudi eius. * A Dómino. v. Glória Patri. * A Dómino.

Orémus.

Annue nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, † ut, quemádmodum mystério resurrectiónis Fílii tui sollémnia cólimus, * ita et in advéntum eius gaudére cum Sanctis ómnibus mereámur. Per Dóminum.

We beseech Thou, deign to grant that just as we honor the solemn days of Thy Son's resurrection with our celebrations, so we merit rejoicing with all the saints at His coming.
