O Light of Light, O Dayspring bright, Co-equal in Thy Father’s light: Assist us, as with prayer and psalm Thy servants break the twilight calm.

Aufer tenébras méntium, fuga catérvas dæmonum, expélle somnoléntiam ne pigritántes óbruat.

All darkness from our minds dispel, And turn to flight the hosts of hell: Bid sleepfulness out eyelids fly, Lest overwhelmed in sloth we lie.

Sic, Christe, nobis ómnibus indúlgeas credéntibus, ut prosit exorántibus quod præcinéntes psállimus.

Jesu, Thy pardon, kind and free, Bestow on us who trust in Thee: And as Thy praises we declare, O with acceptance hear our prayer.

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

Psalm 9 B (10)

Gratiarum actio

Thanksgiving

Beati pauperes, quia vestrum est regnum Dei. (Lc 6, 20)

Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Ut quid, Dómine, stas a longe, * abscóndis te in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?

Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?

Dum supérbit, ímpius inséquitur páuperem; * comprehendántur in consíliis, quæ cógitant.

Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.

Quóniam gloriátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ, * et avárus sibi benedícit.

For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.

Spernit Dóminum peccátor in arrogántia sua: * Non requíret, non est Deus."

The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:

Hæ sunt omnes cogitatiónes eius; * prosperántur viæ illíus in omni témpore.

God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times.

Excélsa nimis iudícia tua a fácie eius; * omnes inimícos suos aspernátur.

Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.

Dixit enim in corde suo: « Non movébor, * in generatiónem et generatiónem ero sine malo ».

For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.

Cuius maledictióne os plenum est et frauduléntia et dolo, * sub lingua eius labor et nequítia.

His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.

Sedet in insídiis ad vicos, * in occúltis intérficit innocéntem.

He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.

Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt. * Insidiátur in abscóndito quasi leo in spelúnca sua.

His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den.

Insidiátur, ut rápiat páuperem; * rapit páuperem, dum áttrahit in láqueum suum.

He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

Irruit et inclínat se, et míseri cadunt * in fortitúdine brachiórum eius.

In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.

Dixit enim in corde suo: « Oblítus est Deus; * avértit fáciem suam, non vidébit in finem ».

For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.

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.

Ant. 2. The Lord will reign forevermore and ever.

Exsúrge, Dómine Deus; exálta manum tuam, * ne obliviscáris páuperum.

Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.

Propter quid spernit ímpius Deum? * Dixit enim in corde suo: "Non requíres".

Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.

Vidísti: † tu labórem et dolórem consíderas, * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.

Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.

Tibi derelíctus est pauper, * órphano tu factus es adiútor.

To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni; * quæres peccátum illíus et non invénies.

Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.

Dóminus rex in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi: * periérunt gentes de terra illíus.

The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.

Desidérium páuperum exaudísti, Dómine; * confirmábis cor eórum, inténdes aurem tuam

The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

iudicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra indúcere timórem homo de terra.

To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

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.

Invocatio contra superbos

Invocation against the superb

Propter nos pauperes Pater Filium dignatus est mittere. (S. Augustinus)

For us poor, the Father deigned to send His Son (S. Augustine)

Salvum me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus, * quóniam deminúti sunt fidéles a fíliis hóminum.

Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum; * in lábiis dolósis, in dúplici corde locúti sunt.

They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa * et linguam magníloquam.

May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

Qui dixérunt: "Lingua nostra magnificábimur, † lábia nostra a nobis sunt; * quis noster dóminus est?"

Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?

"Propter misériam ínopum et gémitum páuperum, † nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus; * ponam in salutári illum, quem despíciunt."

By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.

Elóquia Dómini elóquia casta, * argéntum igne examinátum, separátum a terra, purgátum séptuplum.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.

Tu, Dómine, servábis nos et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.

Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

In circúitu ímpii ámbulant, * a cum exaltántur sordes inter fílios hóminum.

The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

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 libro secúndo Chronicórum 36, 1-12

Tulit pópulus terræ Ioáchaz fílium Iosíæ et constítuit regem pro patre suo in Ierúsalem. Vigínti trium annórum erat Ioáchaz, cum regnáre cœpísset, et tribus ménsibus regnávit in Ierúsalem. Amóvit autem eum rex Ægýpti, cum venísset Ierúsalem, et condemnávit terram centum taléntis argénti et talénto auri. Constituítque regem pro eo Elíachim fratrem eius super Iudam et Ierúsalem et vertit nomen eius Ioáchim. Ipsum vero Ioáchaz tulit secum et addúxit in Ægýptum.

Vigínti quinque annórum erat Ioáchim, cum regnáre cœpísset, et úndecim annis regnávit in Ierúsalem; fecítque malum coram Dómino Deo suo. Contra hunc ascéndit Nabuchodonósor rex Chaldæórum et vinctum cátenis duxit in Babylónem, ad quam et ex vasis Dómini tránstulit et pósuit ea in templo suo.

Réliqua autem gestórum Ioáchim et abominatiónum eius quas operátus est, et quæ invénta sunt contra eum, continéntur in libro regum Israel et Iudæ. Regnavítque autem Ioáchin fílius eius pro eo. Decem et octo annórum erat Ioáchin, cum regnáre cœpísset, et tribus ménsibus ac decem diébus regnávit in Ierúsalem; fecítque malum in conspéctu Dómini. Cumque anni círculus volverétur, misit Nabuchodonósor rex, qui adduxérunt eum in Babylónem, asportátis simul pretiosíssimis vasis domus Dómini; regem vero constítuit Sedecíam fratrem eius super Iudam et Ierúsalem. Vigínti et uníus anni erat Sedecías, cum regnáre cœpísset, et úndecim annis regnávit in Ierúsalem. Fecítque malum in óculis Dómini Dei sui nec humiliávit se coram Ieremía prophéta loquénte ad se ex ore Dómini.

r. Ierúsalem, cito véniet salus tua. Quare mæróre consúmeris? Numquid consiliárius non est tibi, quia innovábit te dolor? * Salvábo te et liberábo te, noli timére. v. Israel, si me audíeris, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum: ego enim Dóminus. * Salvábo te. v. Glória Patri. * Salvábo te.

In secundo nocturno, anno I)

Ex Tractátu sancti Irenæi epíscopi Advérsus hæreses (Lib. 4, 38: SC 100, 942-948. 950-952. 956)

Si dicat áliquis: "Quid enim! non póterat Deus perféctum fecísse hóminem?" Sciat quóniam Deus cum semper sit idem et innátus, quantum ad ipsum est, ómnia possibília ei; quæ autem facta sunt ab eo, secúndum enim quod sunt posterióra, secúndum hoc et infantília, secúndum hoc et insuéta et inexercitáta ad perféctam disciplínam. Quemádmodum enim mater potest quidem præstáre perféctam escam infánti, ille adhuc non potest robustiórem se percípere escam, sic et Deus ipse quidem potens fuit hómini præstáre ab inítio perfectiónem, homo autem ímpotens percípere illam: infans enim fuit.

Et propter hoc Dóminus noster in novíssimis tempóribus, recapítulans in semetípso ómnia, venit ad nos, non quómodo ipse póterat, sed quómodo illum nos vidére poterámus. Ipse enim in sua inenarrábili glória ad nos veníre póterat, sed nos magnitudínem glóriæ ipsíus portáre non poterámus. Et propter hoc, quasi infántibus, ille qui erat panis perféctus Patris lac nobis semetípsum præstávit, quod erat secúndum hóminem eius advéntus, ut quasi mammílla carnis eius nutríti et per talem lactatiónem assuéti manducáre et bíbere Verbum Dei, et eum qui est immortalitátis panis, qui est Spíritus Patris, in nobis ipsis continére possímus.

Sic et inítio Deus quidem potens fuit dare perfectiónem hómini, ille autem nunc nuper factus non póterat illud accípere vel accípiens cápere vel cápiens continére. Et propter hoc coinfantiátum est hómini Verbum Dei, cum esset perféctus, non propter se sed propter hóminis infántiam, sic capax efféctus quemádmodum homo illum cápere pótuit. Circa Deum virtus simul et sapiéntia et bónitas osténditur, virtus quidem et bónitas in eo quod ea quæ nondum erant voluntárie constitúerit et fécerit, sapiéntia vero in eo quod apta et consonántia quæ sunt fécerit. Oportúerat autem hóminem primo fíeri, et factum augéri, et auctum corroborári, et corroborátum multiplicári, et multiplicátum convaléscere, convalescéntem vero glorificári, et glorificátum vidére suum Dóminum: Deus enim est qui habet vidéri, vísio autem Dei éfficax est incorruptélæ, incorruptéla vero próximum facit esse Deo.

r. Plange quasi virgo, plebs mea; ululáte, pastóres, in cínere et cilício, * Quia veniet dies Dómini magna et amára valde. v. Accíngite vos, sacerdótes; et plángite, minístri altáris, * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

Orémus.

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, † fac nos tibi semper et devótam gérere voluntátem, * et maiestáti tuæ sincéro corde servíre. Per Dóminum.

Eternal and almighty God, grant that we may evermore show devoted zeal to Thou and put ourselves at the service of Thy majesty with an undivided heart.
