Who madest all and dost control, Lord, with Thy touch divine, Cast out the slumbers of the soul, The rest that is not Thine.

Te, sancte Christe, póscimus; ignósce tu crimínibus, ad confiténdum súrgimus morásque noctis rúmpimus.

Look down, Eternal Holiness, And wash the sins away, Of those, who, rising to confess, Outstrip the lingering day.

Mentes manúsque tóllimus, Prophéta sicut nóctibus nobis geréndum præcipit Paulúsque gestis cénsuit.

Our hearts and hands by night, O Lord, We lift them in our need; As holy Psalmists give the word, And holy Paul the deed.

Vides malum quod géssimus; occúlta nostra pándimus, preces geméntes fúndimus; dimítte quod peccávimus.

Each sin to Thee of years gone by, Each hidden stain lies bare; We shrink not from Thine awful eye, But pray that Thou wouldst spare.

Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.

Psalm 17 (18), 2-30

Gratiarum actio pro salute et victoria

Thanksgiving for salvation and victory.

In illa hora factus est terræmotus magnus (Apc 11, 13).

In that hour there was a great earthquake (Rev 11:13).

Díligam te, Dómine, fortitúdo mea. * Dómine, firmaméntum meum et refúgium meum et liberátor meus;

I will love Thou, Lord, my strength. Lord, my firmament, my refuge and my deliverer.

Deus meus, adiútor meus, et sperábo in eum; * protéctor meus et cornu salútis meæ et suscéptor meus.

My God is my helper, and I will hope in Him. He is my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my defender.

Laudábilem invocábo Dóminum * et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.

I will call upon the Lord in praise of Him, and I will be delivered from my enemies.

Circumdedérunt me fluctus mortis, * et torréntes Bélial conturbavérunt me;

The waves of death have encircled me, and the torrents of Belial have afflicted me,

funes inférni circumdedérunt me, * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.

The pains of death have surrounded me, and the torrents of iniquity have filled me with trouble.

In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum * et ad Deum meum clamávi;

In my affliction I called on the Lord, and cried out to my God.

exaudívit de templo suo vocem meam, * et clamor meus in conspéctu eius introívit in aures eius.

And from His holy temple He heard my voice; and my cry penetrated into His presence even to His ears.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

Ant. 2. God has become my helper, my God.

Commóta est et contrémuit terra; † fundaménta móntium concússa sunt et commóta sunt, * quóniam irátus est.

The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.

Ascéndit fumus de náribus eius, † et ignis de ore eius dévorans; * carbónes succénsi processérunt ab eo.

There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.

Inclinávit cælos et descéndit, * et calígo sub pédibus eius.

He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Et ascéndit super cherub et volávit, * ferebátur super pennas ventórum.

And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.

Et pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum, † in circúitu eius tabernáculum eius, * tenebrósa aqua, nubes áeris.

And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.

Præ fulgóre in conspéctu eius nubes transiérunt, * grando et carbónes ignis.

At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

Et intónuit de cælo Dóminus, † et Altíssimus dedit vocem suam: * grando et carbónes ignis.

And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.

Et misit sagíttas suas et dissipávit eos, * fúlgura iecit et conturbávit eos.

And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.

Et apparuérunt fontes aquárum, * et reveláta sunt fundaménta orbis terrárum

16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered:

ab increpatióne tua, Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.

At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.

Misit de summo et accépit me * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis;

He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.

erípuit me de inimícis meis fortíssimis † et ab his, qui odérunt me, * quóniam confortáti sunt super me.

He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Oppugnavérunt me in die afflictiónis meæ, * et factus est Dóminus fulciméntum meum;

They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.

et edúxit me in latitúdinem, * salvum me fecit, quóniam vóluit me.

And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.

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.

III

Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum reddet mihi,

And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:

quia custodívi vias Dómini * nec ímpie recéssi a Deo meo.

Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.

Quóniam ómnia iudícia eius in conspéctu meo, * et iustítias eius non réppuli a me;

For all his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.

et fui immaculátus cum eo * et observávi me ab iniquitáte.

And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum in conspéctu oculórum eius.

And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

Cum sancto sanctus eris * et cum viro innocénte ínnocens eris

With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.

et cum elécto eléctus eris * et cum pervérso cállidus eris.

And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

Quóniam tu pópulum húmilem salvum fácies * et óculos superbórum humiliábis.

For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.

Quóniam tu accéndis lucérnam meam, Dómine; * Deus meus illúminat ténebras meas.

For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.

Quóniam in te aggrédiar hóstium turmas * et in Deo meo transíliam murum.

For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.

De libro primo Regum

Venit Róboam in Sichem; illuc enim congregátus erat omnis Israel ad constituéndum eum regem. At Ieróboam fílius Nabat, cum adhuc esset in Ægýpto prófugus a fácie regis Salomónis, audíto hoc núntio, revérsus est de Ægýpto. Miserúntque et vocavérunt eum. Venit ergo Ieróboam et omnis multitúdo Israel, et locúti sunt ad Róboam dicéntes: "Pater tuus duríssimum iugum impósuit nobis; tu ítaque nunc immínue páululum de império patris tui duríssimo, et de iugo gravíssimo quod impósuit nobis, et serviémus tibi." Qui ait eis: "Ite usque ad tértium diem, et revertímini ad me."

Venit ergo Ieróboam et omnis pópulus ad Róboam die tértia, sicut locútus fúerat rex dicens: "Revertímini ad me die tértia." Respondítque rex pópulo dura, derelícto consílio seniórum quod ei déderant, et locútus est eis secúndum consílium iúvenum dicens: "Pater meus aggravávit iugum vestrum, ego autem addam iugo vestro; pater meus cecídit vos flagéllis, ego autem cædam vos scorpiónibus."

Non acquiévit rex Róboam pópulo, quóniam dispósitum erat a Dómino ut suscitáret verbum suum quod locútus fúerat in manu Ahíæ Silonítæ ad Ieróboam fílium Nabat. Videns ítaque omnis Israel quod noluísset eos audíre rex, respóndit ei dicens: "Quæ nobis pars in David vel quæ heréditas in fílio Isai? Vade in tabernácula tua, Israel! Nunc vide domum tuam, David!" Et ábiit Israel in tabernácula sua.

Super fílios autem Israel, quicúmque habitábant in civitátibus Iudæ, regnávit Róboam. Misit rex Róboam Adoníram, qui erat super servitútem; et lapidávit eum omnis Israel, et mórtuus est. Porro rex Róboam festínus ascéndit currum et fugit in Ierúsalem. Recessítque Israel a domo David usque in præséntem diem.

r. Devastávit víneam tuam aper de silva, et singuláris ferus depástus est eam; vide, Dómine, et éxcita poténtiam tuam, * Ne péreat quod plantávit déxtera tua. v. Dómine, Deus virtútum, convértere; réspice de cælo et vide, et vísita víneam istam. * Ne péreat. v. Glória Patri. * Ne péreat.

In secundo nocturno, anno I

Ex Lítteris encýclicis Ecclésiam suam Pauli papæ sexti (Nn. 41. 43: AAS 1964, 625-626)

Necésse est ut qui sacrum baptísmum suscéperint ac proptérea vi huius sacraménti in corpus Christi mýsticum, hoc est in Ecclésiam, sint insérti, iídem huiúsmodi evéntui máximum tríbuant moméntum; peculiaríque modo agnóscant, se ad celsiórem evéctos esse conditiónem, immo ad supernaturálem regeneratiónem, qua experíri possint felicitátem filiórum adoptivórum Dei, dignitátem Christi fratrum própriam, beátam sortem, id est grátiam et gáudium inhabitatiónis Spíritus Sancti; ádeo ut ad novum vitæ genus veríssime sint vocáti, in quo nihil humáni amíttitur, prætérquam quod infélix status hereditárii peccáti depónitur, quidquid vero humánum est, ad pulchérrima edénda perfectiónis specímina et ad fructus gignéndos ubérrimos et sanctíssimos próvehi potest.

Nomen ígitur christiánum ac sacri baptísmi suscéptio non eiúsmodi res sunt, quæ parvum hábeant pondus, aut quas néglegi líceat; éadem vero pénitus ac felíciter cuiúsvis christiáni hóminis consciéntiam affícere debent, ita ut, haud secus ac primævæ Ecclésiæ fiébat tempóribus, a christifidélibus véluti illuminátio existiméntur, quæ super ipsórum ánimos vivíficum dévocans divínæ Veritátis lumen, iis cælum apériat, mortálem vitam illústret, potestatémque fáciat ambulándi, ut fílios lucis áddecet, ad Dei visiónem versus, ætérnæ beatitúdinis fontem.

Valde deínde exoptámus, ut Dei Ecclésia talis sit qualem Christus volúerit, scílicet unam, sanctam atque plane inténtam perfectióni acquiréndæ, ad quam ipse eam vocávit et idóneam réddidit. Etenim, cum eam divínus Redémptor perfectíssimam mente effínxerit, Ecclésia, dum in terris peregrinátur, ad perfectiónem ita conténdat opórtet, ut eam reápse præferat.

r. Cogitávi dies antíquos, et annos ætérnos in mente hábui; et meditátus sum nocte cum corde meo, * Et dixi: Miserére, Deus. v. Illuxérunt coruscatiónes tuæ orbi terræ, vidit et commóta est terra. * Et dixi. v. Glória Patri. * Et dixi.

Orémus.

Protéctor in te sperántium, Deus, sine quo nihil est válidum, nihil sanctum, † multíplica super nos misericórdiam tuam, * ut, te rectóre, te duce, sic bonis transeúntibus nunc utámur, ut iam possímus inhærére mansúris. Per Dóminum.

Protector of those who hope in Thou, O God, without whom naught is solid, naught holy, pour out Thy mercy abundantly upon us, so that under Thy guidance and direction we may now use the transitory goods so that we may even here on earth remain attached to those who remain.
