APERI, Dómine, os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus; intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Maiestátis tuæ. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. r. Amen.

Open my mouth, Lord, that it may bless Thy Holy Name, and cleanse my heart also from every vain, evil, and foreign thought. Enlighten my understanding, inflame my love, so that I may recite this office with respect, attention, and devotion, and merit to be heard in the presence of Thy divine majesty. Through Christ our Lord. r. Amen.

Psalmus 3

Psalm 3

Dominus protector meus

The Lord is my protector

Dormivit et somnum cepit et resurrexit, quoniam Dominus suscepit eum (S. Irenæus).

He lay down and fell asleep, and He rose again because the Lord sustained Him.

Dómine, quid multiplicáti sunt, qui tríbulant me? * Multi insúrgunt advérsum me,

O Lord, why are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.

multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * «Non est salus ipsi in Deo».

Many say to my soul: * “There is no salvation for him in his God.”

Tu autem, Dómine, protéctor meus es, * glória mea et exáltans caput meum.

But thou, O Lord, art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi, * et exaudívit me de monte sancto suo.

I have cried to the Lord with my voice, * and he hath heard me from his holy mountain.

Ego obdormívi et soporátus sum,> * exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.

I have slept and have taken my rest, * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.

Non timébo mília pópuli circumdántis me. * Exsúrge, Dómine, salvum me fac, Deus meus;

I will not fear thousands of the people that surround me. * Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

quóniam tu percussísti in maxíllam omnes adversántes mihi, * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.

For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause; * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

Dómini est salus, * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.

Salvation is of the Lord, * and thy blessing is upon thy people.

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.

De Duabus hominum viis

The two ways of man

Beati qui, sperantes in crucem, in aquam descenderunt (Ex auctore quodam II sæculi).

Blessed are those who, hoping in the cross, go down into the water (from a 2nd century author)

Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum † et in via peccatórum non stetit * et in convéntu derisórum non sedit,

Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:

sed in lege Dómini volúntas eíus, * et in lege eíus meditátur die ac nocte.

But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

Et erit tamquam lignum plantátum secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo;

And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.

et fólium eíus non défluet, * et ómnia, quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.

And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

Non sic ímpii, non sic, * sed tamquam pulvis, quem proícit ventus.

Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

Ídeo non consúrgent ímpii in iudício, * neque peccatóres in concílio iustórum.

Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

Quóniam novit Dóminus viam iustórum, * et iter impiórum períbit.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Cum invocárem, exaudívit me Deus iustítiæ meæ. * In tribulatióne dilatásti mihi;

When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.

miserére mei * et exáudi oratiónem meam.

Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.

Fílii hóminum, úsquequo gravi corde? * Ut quid dilígitis vanitátem et quæritis mendácium?

O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum; * Dóminus exáudiet, cum clamávero ad eum.

Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

Irascímini et nolíte peccáre; † loquímini in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris et conquiéscite.

Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

Sacrificáte sacrifícium iustítiæ * et speráte in Dómino.

Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord:

Multi dicunt: «Quis osténdit nobis bona?». * Leva in signum super nos lumen vultus tui, Dómine!

many say, Who sheweth us good things? 7 The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us:

Maiórem dedísti lætítiam in corde meo, * quam cum multiplicántur fruméntum et vinum eórum.

thou hast given gladness in my heart. By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied:

In pace in idípsum dórmiam et requiéscam, * quóniam tu, Dómine, singuláriter in spe constituísti me.

In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest: For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

Inténde voci clamóris mei, * rex meus et Deus meus.

Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

Quóniam ad te orábo, Dómine, † mane exáudies vocem meam; * mane astábo tibi et exspectábo.

For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice. In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see:

Quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es; † neque habitábit iuxta te malígnus, * neque permanébunt iniústi ante óculos tuos.

because thou art not a God that willest iniquity. Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem, perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium; * virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus.

Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

Ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ † introíbo in domum tuam; * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.

But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

Dómine, deduc me in iustítia tua propter inimícos meos, * dírige in conspéctu meo viam tuam.

Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas, * cor eórum fóvea;

For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.

sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum, * mólliunt línguas suas.

11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues:

[Iúdica illos, Deus; décidant a cogitatiónibus suis; † secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, * quóniam irritavérunt te, Dómine.]

judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

Et omnes, qui sperant in te, læténtur, * in ætérnum exsúltent.

But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever,

Obumbrábis eis, et gloriabúntur in te, * qui díligunt nomen tuum;

and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee.

quóniam tu benedíces iusto, Dómine, * quasi scuto, bona voluntáte coronábis eum.

For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.

De libro Apocalýpsis beáti Ioánnis apóstoli 5,1-14

Lectio I

Ego Ioánnes vidi in déxtera sedéntis super thronum librum scriptum intus et foris, signátum sigíllis septem. Et vidi ángelum fortem prædicántem voce magna: "Quis est dignus aperíre librum et sólvere signácula eius?" Et nemo póterat in cælo neque in terra neque subtus terram aperíre librum neque respícere illum. Et ego flebam multum, quóniam nemo dignus invéntus est aperíre librum nec respícere eum. Et unus de senióribus dicit mihi: "Ne fléveris; ecce vicit leo de tribu Iudæ, radix David, aperíre librum et septem signácula eius."

r. Vidi Dóminum sedéntem super sólium excélsum et elevátum, et plena erat omnis terra maiestáte eius; * Et ea quæ sub ipso erant replébant templum. v. Séraphim stabant super illud, sex alæ uni et sex alæ álteri. * Et ea.

Lectio II

Et vidi in médio throni et quáttuor animálium et in médio seniórum Agnum stantem tamquam occísum, habéntem córnua septem et óculos septem, qui sunt septem spíritus Dei missi in omnem terram. Et venit et accépit de déxtera sedéntis in throno.

r. Vidi turbam magnam, quam dinumeráre nemo póterat, ex ómnibus géntibus et tríbubus et pópulis et linguis, stantes ante thronum in conspéctu Agni, amícti stolis albis, * Et palmæ in mánibus eórum. v. Quáttuor animália et vigínti quáttuor senióres cecidérunt coram Agno, habéntes sínguli cítharas et phíalas áureas; * Et palmæ.

Lectio III

Et cum accepísset librum, quáttuor animália et vigínti quáttuor senióres cecidérunt coram Agno, habéntes sínguli cítharas et phíalas áureas plenas incensórum, quæ sunt oratiónes sanctórum. Et cantant novum cánticum dicéntes: "Dignus es accípere librum et aperíre signácula eius, quóniam occísus es et redemísti Deo in sánguine tuo ex omni tribu et lingua et pópulo et natióne et fecísti eos Deo nostro regnum et sacerdótes, et regnábunt super terram."

r. O quam gloriósum est regnum, in quo cum Christo gaudent omnes sancti; * Amícti stolis albis, Agnum sequúntur quocúmque íerit. v. Beáta es, cívitas Ierúsalem cæléstis, in qua cum Christo omnes sancti in perpétuis mansiónibus felíciter lætántur. * Amícti.

Lectio IV

Et vidi et audívi vocem angelórum multórum in circúitu throni et animálium et seniórum, et erat númerus eórum myríades myríadum et mília mílium dicéntium voce magna: "Dignus est Agnus, qui occísus est, accípere virtútem et divítias et sapiéntiam et fortitúdinem et honórem et glóriam et benedictiónem." Et omnem creatúram, quæ in cælo est et super terram et sub terra et super mare et quæ in eis ómnia, audívi dicéntes: "Sedénti super thronum et Agno benedíctio et honor et glória et potéstas in sæcula sæculórum." Et quáttuor animália dicébant: "Amen"; et senióres cecidérunt et adoravérunt.

r. Omnes sancti per fidem vicérunt regna, operáti sunt iustítiam, adépti sunt promissiónes, obturavérunt ora leónum, * Et fortes facti sunt in bello. v. Effugérunt áciem gládii, convaluérunt de infirmitáte, * Et fortes. v. Glória Patri. * Et fortes.

In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum; * in iustítia tua líbera me.

I have hoped in Thou, Lord; that I should never be confounded; in Thy righteousness, deliver me.

Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * accélera, ut éruas me.

Incline thy ear unto me; Make haste to deliver me. Be me a protective God and a house of refuge, that Thou may save me.

Esto mihi in rupem præsídii et in domum munítam, * ut salvum me fácias.

For Thou art my strength and refuge, and for Thy Name's sake Thou shalt lead me and feed me.

Quóniam fortitúdo mea et refúgium meum es tu * et propter nomen tuum dedúces me et pasces me.

Thou shalt rescue me from this snare that they have hidden against me, for Thou art my protector.

Edúces me de láqueo, quem abscondérunt mihi, * quóniam tu es fortitúdo mea.

I commend my soul into Thy hands; Thou hast redeemed me, Lord, God of truth.

In manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum; * redemísti me, Dómine, Deus veritátis.

Thou hate those who cling without any fruit to vain things.

Odísti observántes vanitátes supervácuas, * ego autem in Dómino sperávi.

Exsultábo et lætábor in misericórdia tua, * quóniam respexísti humilitátem meam;

For Thou hast looked upon my humbled state; Thou hast saved my soul from anguish.

agnovísti necessitátes ánimæ meæ † nec conclusísti me in mánibus inimíci; * statuísti in loco spatióso pedes meos.

And Thou didst not deliver me into the hands of the enemy; Thou put my feet out to sea.

Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor; † conturbátus est in mæróre óculus meus, * ánima mea et venter meus.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am very afflicted; my eye, my soul, and my bowels are troubled with anger.

For my life is consumed in pain, and my years in groaning.

infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea, * et ossa mea contabuérunt.

My strength has been weakened by poverty, and my bones are shaken.

Those who saw me outside fled from me. I have been forgotten by hearts, like a dead man.

Quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum: * horror in circúitu;

I have been like a broken vessel; for I have heard the insulting words of those who live around.

in eo dum convenírent simul advérsum me, * auférre ánimam meam consiliáti sunt.

When they gathered together against me, they held a council to take my life.

Ego autem in te sperávi, Dómine; † dixi: “Deus meus es tu, * in mánibus tuis sortes meæ.”

But I have hoped in Thee, Lord. I said, "Thou art my God;

Éripe me de manu inimicórum meórum * et a persequéntibus me;

my destinies are in Thy hands. Snatch me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.

illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, * salvum me fac in misericórdia tua.

Let Thy face shine on Thy servant; save me by Thy mercy.

Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te; * erubéscant ímpii et obmutéscant in inférno.

Lord, let me not be confounded, for I have called upon Thou. Let the ungodly be ashamed and led into hell;

Muta fiant lábia dolósa, † quæ loquúntur advérsus iústum protérva * in supérbia et in abusióne.

let the deceitful lips become dumb, they who utter iniquity against the righteous, with pride and insolence.

Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.

Annuntiavérunt cæli iustítiam eius, * et vidérunt omnes pópuli glóriam eius.

The heavens proclaim His righteousness, and all peoples behold His glory.

Confundántur omnes, qui adórant sculptília † et qui gloriántur in simulácris suis. * Adoráte eum, omnes ángeli eius.

They will be confounded all the worshippers of images, who are proud of their idols. All the angels bow down before Him.

Audívit et lætáta est Sion, † et exsultavérunt fíliæ Iudæ * propter iudícia tua, Dómine.

Zion has heard and rejoiced, and the daughters of Judah are glad forasmuch as of Thy judgments, O Lord.

Quóniam tu Dóminus, Altíssimus super omnem terram, * nimis exaltátus es super omnes deos.

For Thou, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth, and are supremely exalted above all the gods.

Qui dilígitis Dóminum, odíte malum; † custódit ipse ánimas sanctórum suórum, * de manu peccatóris liberábit eos.

Thou who love the Lord, hate evil; He guards the souls of His faithful, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Lux orta est iusto, * et rectis corde lætítia.

Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the righteous in heart.

Lætámini, iusti, in Dómino * et confitémini memóriæ sanctitátis eius.

Righteous, rejoice in the Lord, and give glory to His Holy Name.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

Readings

In secundo nocturno, anno I)

Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernárdi abbátis (Sermo in festo Omnium Sanct., 5-7. 9. 10: EC 5, 364-368)

Lectio I

Ad quid sanctis laus nostra, ad quid glorificátio nostra, ad quid nostra hæc ipsa sollémnitas? Quo eis terrénos honóres, quos iuxta verácem Fílii promissiónem honoríficat Pater cæléstis? Quo eis præcónia nostra? Pleni sunt. Prorsus ita est, dilectíssimi: honórum nostrórum sancti non egent, nec quidquam eis nostra devotióne præstátur. Plane quod eórum memóriam venerámur, nostra ínterest, non ipsórum. Vultis scire quantum ínterest nostra? Ego in me, fáteor, ex hac recordatióne séntio desidérium véhemens inflammári.

r. Beáti, qui persecutiónem patiúntur propter iustítiam, quóniam ipsórum est regnum cælórum; * Beáti pacifíci, quóniam fílii Dei vocabúntur. v. Beáti mundo corde, quóniam ipsi Deum vidébunt. * Beáti.

Lectio II

Hoc enim primum desidérium, quod in nobis sanctórum memória vel éxcitat vel íncitat magis, ut eórum tam optábili societáte fruámur, et mereámur cóncives et contubernáles esse spirítuum beatórum, miscéri cœtui patriarchárum, cúneis prophetárum, senátui apostolórum, mártyrum exercítibus numerósis, confessórum collégiis, vírginum choris, in ómnium dénique cólligi et collætári communióne sanctórum. Præstolátur nos Ecclésia illa primitivórum, et neglégimus; desíderant nos sancti, et parvi péndimus; exspéctant nos iusti, et dissimulámus.

r. Laudem dícite Deo nostro, omnes sancti eius et qui timétis eum, pusílli et magni, quóniam regnávit Dóminus Deus noster omnípotens. * Gaudeámus et exsultémus et demus glóriam Deo. v. Genus eléctum, gens sancta, pópulus acquisitiónis, mémores mémorum laudáte Deum. * Gaudeámus.

Lectio III

Excitémur aliquándo, fratres: resurgámus cum Christo, quærámus quæ sursum sunt, quæ sursum sunt sapiámus. Desiderémus desiderántes nos, properémus ad præstolántes nos, exspectántes nos votis præoccupémus animórum. Non modo tantum socíetas, sed étiam felícitas nobis est optánda sanctórum, ut quorum desiderámus præséntiam, glóriam quoque ferventíssimis stúdiis ambiámus. Neque enim perniciósa ambítio est, aut illíus affectátio glóriæ ullátenus periculósa est.

r. Redemísti nos, Dómine Deus, in sánguine tuo, ex omni tribu et lingua et pópulo et natióne, * Et fecísti nos Deo nostro regnum et sacerdótes, et regnábunt super terram. v. Et vidi et audívi vocem angelórum multórum in circuítu throni et seniórum et quáttuor animálium, et erat númerus eórum mília mílium dicéntium: Salus Deo nostro. * Et fecísti.

Lectio IV

Hoc secúndum desidérium quod ex sanctórum commemoratióne flagrat in nobis, ut sicut illis, sic étiam nobis Christus appáreat vita nostra, et nos quoque cum ipso appareámus in glória. Hanc ergo glóriam tota et tuta ambitióne concupiscámus. Sane ut eam nobis speráre líceat, et ad tantam beatitúdinem aspiráre, summópere nobis desideránda sunt suffrágia quoque sanctórum, ut quod possibílitas nostra non óbtinet, eórum nobis intercessióne donétur.

r. Beáta vere Mater Ecclésia, quam sic honor divínæ dignatiónis illúminat, quam victoriosórum gloriósus mártyrum sanguis exórnat, * Quam invioláta confessiónis cándida índuit virgínitas. v. Flóribus eius nec rosæ nec lília desunt. * Quam. v. Glória Patri. * Quam.

IN III NOCTURNO

Ant. 13. Benedícite Dóminum, omnes elécti eius, ágite dies lætítiæ, et confitémini illi.

Ant. 13. Bless the Lord, all thou His chosen ones, celebrate days of joy, and give Him thanks.

Canticum (Tob 13, 2-8)

Tobie's Cant. (Tob 13)

Deus castigans et salvans

God punishes and saves

Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, qui secundum magnam misericordiam suam regeneravit nos (1 Petr 1, 3).

Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us (1 Petr 1, 3).

Benedíctus Deus vivens in ævum, † et regnum illíus, * quia ipse flagéllat et miserétur,

Blessed be God, living forevermore, and his kingdom, for it is He who strikes and gives grace,

dedúcit usque ad ínferos deórsum † et redúcit a perditióne maiestáte sua, * et non est qui effúgiat manum eius.

who leads unto the tomb, and who brings it back, and no one can escape from His hand.

Confitémini illi, fílii Israel, coram natiónibus, † quia ipse dispérsit vos in illis * et ibi osténdit maiestátem suam.

Give thanks to Him, children of Israel, in the face of the nations where He Himself has scattered thou, and there thou shalt show His majesty.

Et exaltáte illum coram omni vivénte, † quóniam Dóminus noster, et ipse est pater noster * et ipse est Deus noster in ómnia sǽcula.

And exalt Him in the face of the living, for He is our God, our Father, the Lord, for ever and ever.

Flagellábit vos ob iniquitátes vestras * et ómnium miserébitur vestrum

He struck thou for thy sins, now He giveth grace,

et cólliget vos ab ómnibus natiónibus, * ubicúmque dispérsi fuéritis.

and He gathers thou from all the nations where thou wast scattered.

Cum convérsi fuéritis ad illum † in toto corde vestro et in tota ánima vestra, * ut faciátis coram illo veritátem,

If thou come back to Him in heart and soul to live in the truth before Him,

tunc revertétur ad vos * et non abscóndet a vobis fáciem suam ámplius.

then He shall return unto thee and never anon will hide His face.

Et nunc aspícite, quæ fecit vobíscum, * et confitémini illi in toto ore vestro.

And behold what He hath done for thee, give Him thanks in a loud voice.

Benedícite Dóminum iustítiæ * et exaltáte regem sæculórum.

Bless the Lord of righteousness, exalt the King of ever.

Ego in terra captivitátis meæ confíteor illi * et osténdo virtútem et maiestátem eius genti peccatórum.

And I, in the land of exile, give thanks to Him and show His greatness and strength unto the people of sinners.

Convertímini, peccatóres, † et fácite iustítiam coram illo. * Quis scit, si velit vos et fáciat vobis misericórdiam?

Come back, sinners, and live before Him in righteousness. Who knows, if he wanted to show thee His mercy?

Ego et ánima mea regi cæli lætatiónes dícimus, * et ánima mea lætábitur ómnibus diébus vitæ suæ.

I will exalt my God, the King of heaven; my soul rejoices in His greatness.

Benedícite Dóminum, omnes elécti, et omnes laudáte maiestátem illíus. * Agite dies lætítiæ et confitémini illi.

Bless the Lord, all thou elect, and all praise His majesty, celebrate Him and give Him thanksgiving.

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.

In tertio nocturno, anno C

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthæum 5, 1-12a

In illo témpore: Videns Iesus turbas, ascéndit in montem; et cum sedísset, accessérunt ad eum discípuli eius. Et réliqua.

Ex Oratiónibus sancti Gregórii Nysséni epíscopi (Orat. 6 de beatitudinibus, 4: PG 44, 1270-1271)

Lectio I

Bonum quoddam in vita humána sánitas córporis est, sed beátum est non modo scire ratiónem sanitátis, verum in sanitáte vívere. Non cognóscere áliquid de Deo Dóminus beátum esse dicit, sed in sese Deum habére. Beáti enim puro præditi corde, quóniam ipsi Deum vidébunt. Non enim mihi vidétur quasi ex advérso spectándum Deum propónere ei qui ánimæ óculum habúerit expurgátum, sed fórsitan hoc nobis magnificéntia dicti súggerit quod étiam ad álios sermo apértius éxprimit, ubi dixit: Intra vos est regnum Dei.

r. Cecidérunt senióres vigínti quáttuor et quáttuor animália, et adoravérunt Deum sedéntem super thronum, dicéntes: Amen, allelúia. Et vox de throno exívit dicens: * Laudem dícite Deo nostro, omnes sancti eius et qui timétis Deum, pusílli et magni! v. Et audívi quasi vocem tubæ magnæ et sicut vocem aquárum multárum et sicut vocem tonítruum magnórum. * Laudem.

Lectio II

In hoc docémur quod qui cor suum ab omni creatúra atque vitiósa affectióne expurgávit, in sua ipsíus pulchritúdine divínæ natúræ imáginem intuétur. Ac mihi vidétur Verbum, paucis quæ dixit, eiúsmodi consílium complécti: "O vos hómines, quibus inest áliqua cupíditas contemplándi id quod vere bonum est, cum audivéritis divínam maiestátem supra cælos elátam et exaltátam, glóriam eius inexplicábilem, pulchritúdinem ineffábilem esse, natúram comprehéndi ac pércipi non posse, ne prolabámini ad desperatiónem, qua non possítis intuéri quod desiderátis."

r. Quáttuor animália et vigínti quáttuor senióres cecidérunt coram Agno, habéntes sínguli cítharas et phíalas áureas plenas odoramentórum, quæ sunt oratiónes sanctórum; * Et cantant cánticum novum. v. Et omnes ángeli stabant in circuítu throni et seniórum et quáttuor animálium, et cecidérunt in conspéctu throni in fácies suas et adoravérunt eum. * Et cantant.

Lectio III

Nam quod a te capi et comprehéndi potest, Dei contemplatiónis in te modus est; tui enim fabricatióni et constitutióni Deus suæ natúræ bonórum simulácra similitudinésque et quasi imitaménta impressit et informávit, véluti ceram quamdam scúlptili figúra præfórmans et fingens. Sed vitiósitas divínam imáginem referénti signo circumfúsa, bonum túrpibus velaméntis obdúctum et occultátum inútile tibi fecit. Si ígitur diligénti et accuráta vita sordes cordi illátas et obdúctas rursus ablúeris, resplendébit in te divína pulchritúdo.

r. Beáti estis, sancti Dei omnes, qui meruístis consórtes fíeri cæléstium virtútum et pérfrui ætérnæ claritátis glória! * Ideóque precámur, ut mémores nostri intercédere dignémini pro nobis ad Dóminum Deum nostrum. v. Gaudéte et exsultáte, quóniam merces vestra multa est in cælo. * Ideóque.

Lectio IV

Quemádmodum in ferro fíeri solet, cum id quod paulo ante nigrum erat, per cotem detrácta rubígine, splendóres quosdam in se ad solem refúlgens et nitóres edit, ita homo quoque intérnus, quem cor Dóminus nóminat, cum sordes rubiginósas, quæ propter pravum situm in forma effloruérunt, abstérserit, rursus cum origináli et principáli forma similitúdinem recuperábit, ac bonus erit. Ergo qui seípsum videt, in seípso quod desíderat intuétur; atque ita beátus fit, qui corde puro præditus est, quóniam, dum suam puritátem intuétur, per imáginem, formam principálem animadvértit.

r. Vidi ángelum ascendéntem ab ortu solis, habéntem signum Dei vivi, et clamávit voce magna quáttuor ángelis, quibus datum est nocére terræ et mari, dicens: Nolíte nocére terræ et mari neque arbóribus, quoadúsque signémus servos Dei nostri in fróntibus eórum. * Et audívi númerum signatórum, centum quadragínta quáttuor mília signáti ex omni tribu filiórum Israel. v. Et vidébunt fáciem eius, et nomen eius scriptum in fróntibus eórum. * Et audívi. v. Glória Patri. * Et audívi.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra maiestátis glóriæ tuæ."

Te gloriósus Apostolórum chorus, te prophetárum laudábilis númerus, te mártyrum candidátus laudat exércitus.

Et rege eos, et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.

Per síngulos dies benedícimus te; et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Dignáre, Dómine, die isto sine peccáto nos custodíre.

Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri.

In te, Dómine, sperávi: non confúndar in ætérnum.
