Hymnus
Doctor insígnis, veneránde præsul, te sacerdótum populíque turba corde prostráto vigilíque poscit cármine patrem.
Vota cunctórum rélevans in aula regis ætérni, fóveas utrúmque órdinem, cuius pius exstitísti pastor in Urbe.
Móribus sanctis decoráre vitam confer, et puram placidámque mentem; corda virtútum mediténtur arma múnere Christi.
Impetra nobis, quóties rogáris, grátiæ, pastor, stúdium supérnæ; crédimus magnum, Dómino faténte, te dare munus.
Laus, honor Patri parilíque Proli, una maiéstas, éadem potéstas, cum quibus Sanctus simul implet omnem Spíritus orbem.

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.

I
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.

Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea, Dómine? * Spes mea apud te est.
And now what is my expectation? Isn't that the Lord? My hope is in Thou.
Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me, * oppróbrium insipiénti ne ponas me.
Deliver me from all my iniquities. Thou hast repaid me the reproach of the fool.
Obmútui et non apériam os meum, * quóniam tu fecísti.
I was silent, and I did not open my mouth, forasmuch as Thou didst it
Amove a me plagas tuas: * ab ictu manus tuæ ego deféci.
Turn away from me Thy blows, under the power of Thy hand, I fainted, when Thou tookest me back
In increpatiónibus, propter iniquitátem, corripuisti hominem, † et tabéscere fecísti sicut tínea desiderabília eius. * Etenim vánitas omnis homo.
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 Thee, like all my fathers.
Avértere a me, ut refrígerer, * priúsquam ábeam et non sim ámplius.
Give me some rest, that I may be refreshed before I go away and disappear."

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.

De libro Sirácidæ
Qui accómodat ánimam suam ad timórem Dei et in lege Altíssimi meditátur, sapiéntiam ómnium antiquórum exquíret et in prophetíis vacábit. Narratiónem virórum nominatórum conservábit et in versútias parabolárum simul introíbit. Occúlta proverbiórum exquíret et in abscónditis parabolárum conversábitur.
In médio magnatórum ministrábit et in conspéctu príncipum apparébit. In terram alienigenárum géntium pertránsiet; bona enim et mala in homínibus tentábit. Cor suum tradet ad vigilándum dilúculo ad Dóminum, qui fecit illum, et in conspéctu Altíssimi deprecábitur. Apériet os suum in oratióne et pro delíctis suis deprecábitur.
Si enim Dóminus magnus volúerit, spíritu intellegéntiæ replébitur. Ipse tamquam imbres mittet elóquia sapiéntiæ suæ et in oratióne confitébitur Dómino. Et ipse díriget consílium et disciplínam et in abscónditis eius considerábit. Ipse palam fáciet disciplínam doctrínæ suæ et in lege testaménti Dómini gloriábitur.
Collaudábunt multi sapiéntiam eius, et usque in sæculum non delébitur. Non recédet memória eius, et nomen eius requirétur a generatióne in generatiónem; sapiéntiam eius enarrábunt gentes, et laudem eius enuntiábit ecclésia.
r. Eléctus et diléctus Dómini Gregórius, tandem post tríduum invéntus, * Cápitur, tráhitur, consecrátur, ac Papa Urbis effícitur. v. Tértia ieiúnii nocte, colúmna lucis super eum emíssa invénitur. * Cápitur. v. Glória Patri. * Cápitur.
In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex Homilíis sancti Gregórii Magni papæ in Ezechiélem (Hom. 1, 11, 4-7: SC 327, 450-456)
Fili hóminis, speculatórem dedi te dómui Israel. Notándum quod eum quem Dóminus ad prædicándum mittit speculatórem denúntiat. Non est enim speculátor qui in imo est. Speculátor quippe semper in altitúdine stat, ut quidquid ventúrum est longe prospíciat. Et quisquis pópuli speculátor pónitur, in alto debet stare per vitam, ut possit prodésse per providéntiam.
O quam dura mihi sunt ista quæ loquor, quia memetípsum loquéndo fério, cuius neque lingua, ut dignum est, prædicatiónem tenet, neque, inquántum tenére súfficit, vita séquitur linguam. Cogor modo Ecclesiárum, modo monasteriórum causas discútere, sæpe singulórum vitas actúsque pensáre. Modo quædam cívium negótia sustinére, modo de irruéntibus barbarórum gládiis gémere, et commísso gregi insidiántes lupos timére.
Cum ítaque ad tot et tanta cogitánda scissa ac dilaniáta mens dúcitur, quando ad semetípsam rédeat, ut totam se in prædicatióne cólligat, et a proferéndi verbi ministério non recédat? Quis ergo vel qualis speculátor sum, qui non in monte óperis sto, sed adhuc in valle infirmitátis iáceo? Potens vero est humáni géneris Creátor et Redémptor indígno mihi et vitæ altitúdinem, et linguæ efficáciam donáre, pro cuius amóre in eius elóquio nec mihi parco.
Esse ergo speculatóris vita et alta debet semper et circumspécta. Ne enim terrenárum rerum amóri succúmbat, alta sit; ne occúlti hostis iáculis feriátur, ex omni látere circumspécta. Neque hoc speculatóri súfficit ut in altum vivat, nisi et loquéndo assídue ad alta auditóres suos pertráhat eorúmque mentes ad amórem cæléstis pátriæ loquéndo succéndat. Sed tunc hæc recte agit, cum lingua eius ex vita árserit.
r. Videns Romæ vir beátus Anglórum forte púeros: Bene, inquit, bene Angli vultu nitent ut ángeli; * Opórtet illis monstrári iter salútis ætérnæ. v. Quóniam Dómini est regnum, et ipse dominábitur géntium. * Opórtet. v. Glória Patri. * Opórtet.
Orémus.
Deus, qui pópulis tuis indulgéntia cónsulis et amóre domináris, † da spíritum sapiéntiæ, intercedénte beáto Gregório papa, quibus dedísti régimen disciplínæ, ut de proféctu sanctárum óvium fiant gáudia ætérna pastórum. Per Dóminum.
God, who cares for Thy people with indulgence and directs them with love, grant the spirit of wisdom, through the intercession of Blessed Pope Gregory, to those who have been entrusted with the mission of governing, so that the progress of the faithful may be the eternal joy of the pastors.
