Salve, mater misericórdiæ, mater spei et mater véniæ, mater Dei et mater grátiæ, mater plena sanctæ lætítiæ.

Vallis vernans virtútum líliis, tota fluens summis delíciis, mater sancta, tuis suffrágiis condescénde nostris misériis.

Te creávit Pater ingénitus, obumbrávit te Unigénitus, fecundávit te Sanctus Spíritus, ipsis honor ex corde pénitus.

Dominus salvator in persecutione

Congregati sunt ... et consilium fecerunt, ut Iesum dolo tenerent et occiderent. (Mt 26, 3. 4)

Iúdica, Dómine, iudicántes me; * impúgna impugnántes me.

Judge, Lord, those who do me harm; fight those who fight me.

Apprehénde clípeum et scutum † et exsúrge in adiutórium mihi. * Dic ánimæ meæ: "Salus tua ego sum."

Take up Thy weapons and Thy shield, and arise to help me. Say to my soul, I am thy salvation.

Anima autem mea exsultábit in Dómino * et delectábitur super salutári suo.

But my soul will rejoice in the Lord, and delight in his Saviour.

Omnia ossa mea dicent: * "Dómine, quis símilis tibi?

All my bones will say: * Lord, who is like Thou,

Erípiens ínopem de manu fortiórum eius, * egénum et páuperem a diripiéntibus eum."

who snatch the poor from the hands of those who are stronger than him; the needy and the poor to those who despoil him?

Surgéntes testes iníqui, *quæ ignorábam, interrogábant me;

Iniquitous witnesses have risen; They asked me about what I didn't know.

retribuébant mihi mala pro bonis, * desolátio est ánimæ meæ.

They have not returned evil for good; it was sterility for my soul.

Ant. 2. Judge my cause; defend me, for Thou art powerful, O Lord.

Ego autem, cum infirmaréntur, * induébar cilício,

But when they tormented me, I put on a haircloth.

humiliábam in ieiúnio ánimam meam, * et orátio mea in sinu meo convertebátur.

I humbled my soul by fasting, and my prayer returned to my bosom.

Quasi pro próximo et quasi pro fratre meo ambulábam, * quasi lugens matrem contristátus incurvábar.

I had the same compassion for them as I did for a relative or a brother; I bent down as if in mourning and sadness.

Cum autem vacillárem, lætáti sunt et convenérunt; * convenérunt contra me percutiéntes, et ignorávi.

And they rejoiced, and gathered together against me; misfortunes have come upon me, without my knowing the reason.

They have been dispersed; but, without compunction, they have anon put me unto the test; they have overwhelmed me with insults; They gnashed their teeth at me.

III

Dómine, quámdiu aspícies? † Restítue ánimam meam a malignitáte eórum, * a leónibus únicam meam.

Lord, when will Thou behold? Save my soul from their malignity; snatch my only from these lions.

Confitébor tibi in ecclésia magna, * in pópulo multo laudábo te.

I will praise Thou in a great assembly; I will praise Thee in the midst of a many people.

Non supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei mendáces, * qui odérunt me gratis et ánnuunt óculis.

Let not those who attack me unjustly, who hate me without reason, and who blink their eyes, not rejoice over me.

Vidísti, Dómine, ne síleas; * Dómine, ne discédas a me.

Thou hast seen, Lord; do not remain silent; * Lord, depart not from me.

Exsúrge et evígila ad iudícium meum, * Deus meus et Dóminus meus, ad causam meam.

Arise and take care of my right; my God and my Lord, defend my cause.

Exsúltent et læténtur, qui volunt iustítiam meam, * et dicant semper: «Magnificétur Dóminus, qui vult pacem servi sui».

Let them be glad and glad that they want my justification; and let them say without ceasing, Glory unto the Lord, those who desire the peace of His servant.

Et lingua mea meditábitur iustítiam tuam, * tota die laudem tuam.

And my tongue will praise Thy righteousness, and Thy praise all day long.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

De libro Ezechiélis prophétæ 28, 1-10.6-19

Factus est sermo Dómini ad me dicens: "Fili hóminis, dic príncipi Tyri: Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Eo quod elevátum est cor tuum et dixísti: "Deus ego sum et in cáthedra deórum sédeo in corde maris!", cum sis homo et non deus, et dedísti cor tuum quasi cor Dei. Ecce sapiéntior es tu Danel, omne secrétum non est abscónditum a te, in sapiéntia et prudéntia tua fecísti tibi opes et acquisísti aurum et argéntum in thesáuris tuis; in multitúdine sapiéntiæ tuæ et in negotiatióne tua multiplicásti tibi opes, et elevátum est cor tuum in ópibus tuis."

"Proptérea hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Eo quod fecísti cor tuum quasi cor Dei, idcírco ecce ego addúcam super te aliénos violentíssimos géntium; et nudábunt gládios suos super pulchritúdinem sapiéntiæ tuæ et pólluent splendórem tuum. In fossam detráhent te, et moríeris intéritu occisórum in corde maris. Numquid dicens loquéris: "Deus ego sum!" coram interficiéntibus te, cum sis homo et non deus in manu occidéntium te? Morte incircumcisórum moriéris in manu alienórum, quia ego locútus sum", ait Dóminus Deus.

"In multitúdine negotiatiónis tuæ repléta sunt interióra tua iniquitáte, et peccásti. Et eiéci te de monte Dei, et pérdidit te cherub prótegens de médio lápidum ignitórum. Elevátum est cor tuum in decóre tuo; perdidísti sapiéntiam tuam propter splendórem tuum; in terram proiéci te, ante fáciem regum dedi te ut cérnerent te. In multitúdine iniquitátum tuárum et iniquitáte negotiatiónis tuæ polluísti sanctuária tua; prodúcam ergo ignem de médio tui, qui cómedat te, et dabo te in cínerem super terram in conspéctu ómnium vidéntium te. Omnes qui víderint te in géntibus obstupéscent super te; in horrórem factus es et non eris in perpétuum."

r. Spécies firmaménti super caput animálium quasi aspéctus crystálli horríbilis, * Sub quo erant pennæ eórum rectæ altérius ad álterum. v. Unumquódque duábus alis velábat corpus suum, et álterum simíliter velabátur. * Sub quo. v. Glória Patri. * Sub quo.

In secundo nocturno, anno I)

Ex Libro sancti Augustíni epíscopi De sancta virginitáte (Nn. 4-5: PL 40, 398-399)

Ipsa virgínitas Maríæ ídeo grátior et accéptior, quia non eam concéptus Christus quam conserváret ipse prærípuit, sed priúsquam conciperétur iam Deo dicátam de qua nascerétur elégit. Hoc indícant verba quæ sibi fetum annuntiánti ángelo María réddidit: Quómodo, inquit, fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Quod profécto non díceret, nisi Deo vírginem se ante vovísset. Sed quia hoc Israelitárum mores adhuc recusábant, desponsáta est viro iusto, custoditúro quod illa iam vóverat.

Poterat et iubéri virgo permanére, in qua Dei Fílius formam servi congruénti miráculo accíperet; sed exémplo sanctis futúra virgínibus, ne putarétur sola virgo esse debuísse, quæ prolem étiam sine concúbitu concípere meruísset, virginitátem Deo dicávit, cum adhuc quid esset conceptúra nésciret, ut in terréno mortalíque córpore cæléstis vitæ imitátio voto fíeret, non præcépto; amóre eligéndi, non necessitáte serviéndi.

Ita Christus nascéndo de vírgine, quæ ántequam sciret quis de illa fúerat nascitúrus, virgo statúerat permanére, virginitátem sanctam approbáre máluit quam imperáre. Ac sic étiam in ipsa fémina in qua formam servi accépit, virginitátem esse líberam vóluit. Verúmtamen ille uníus sanctæ Vírginis partus ómnium sanctárum vírginum est decus. Et ipsæ cum María matres Christi sunt, si Patris eius fáciunt voluntátem, secúndum eius senténtiam: Quicúmque facit voluntátem Patris mei qui in cælis est, ipse mihi frater, et soror, et mater est.

r. Beáta progénies unde Christus natus est! * O quam gloriósa est Virgo, quæ cæli Regem génuit! v. Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima. * O quam. v. Glória Patri. * O quam.

Orémus.

Sanctíssimæ venerántibus Vírginis Maríæ memóriam gloriósam, † ipsíus nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, intercessióne concéde, ut de plenitúdine grátiæ tuæ nos quoque mereámur accípere. Per Dóminum.

Since we celebrate the memory of the Blessed Virgin Mary, please grant us through thy intercession, Lord, that we too may share in the fullness of thy grace.
