De libro Isaíæ prophétæ

Væ Ariel, Ariel, cívitas quam circúmdedit David! Addite annum ad annum, sollemnitátes evolvántur; et circumvallábo Ariel, et erit mæror et mæstítia et erit mihi quasi Ariel. Et circúmdabo te quasi sphæram et iáciam contra te ággerem et muniménta ponam in obsidiónem tuam. Humiliáberis, de terra loquéris, et de púlvere vix audiétur elóquium tuum, et erit quasi pythónis de terra vox tua, et de humo elóquium tuum mussitábit.

Et erit sicut pulvis ténuis multitúdo superbórum tuórum, et sicut pálea volans multitúdo fórtium. Erítque repénte conféstim, a Dómino exercítuum visitáberis in tonítruo et commotióne terræ, magno fragóre, túrbine et tempestáte et flamma ignis devorántis. Et erit sicut sómnium visiónis noctúrnæ multitúdo ómnium géntium quæ dímicant contra Ariel, et omnes qui pugnant contra eam et contra muniménta eius et oppressóres eius.

Et sicut sómniat esúriens, et ecce cómedit, cum autem fúerit expergefáctus, vácua est ánima eius; et sicut sómniat sítiens et ecce bibit et, postquam fúerit expergefáctus, lassus adhuc sitit, et ánima eius vácua est, sic erit multitúdo ómnium géntium dimicántium contra montem Sion.

r. Ecce Dóminus véniet cum splendóre descéndens, et virtus eius cum eo, * Visitáre pópulum suum in pace, et constitúere super eum vitam sempitérnam. v. Ecce Dóminus noster cum virtúte véniet, * Visitáre. v. Glória Patri. * Visitáre pópulum.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Sermónibus sancti Petri Chrysólogi epíscopi (Sermo 147, 4. 6-7: CCL 24A, 910-911. 912)

Videns Deus mundum labefactári timóre, contínuo agit ut cum amóre révocet, invítet grátia, caritáte téneat et constríngat afféctu. Hinc est quod inveterátam malis terram ábluit ulciscénte dilúvio, et Nœ novi sæculi vocat paréntem, blando sermóne compéllit, dat familiárem fidúciam, pie de præséntibus ínstruit, consolátur per grátiam de futúris; et iam non iussit, sed participáto labóre una in arca claudit totíus sæculi partum, ut societátis amor timórem servitútis auférret, et servarétur amóre commúni quod fúerat commúni labóre salvátum.

Hinc est quod Abraham vocat de géntibus, auget nómine, patrem fídei facit, comitátur via, inter éxteros servat, ditat rebus, honórat triúmphis, promíssis oppígnorat, éripit iniúriis, hospitalitáte blandítur, miríficat gérmine desperáto: ut tot replétus bonis, tanta divínæ illéctus dulcédine caritátis, Deum dilígere dísceret, non timére; amándo cólere, non pavéndo. Sed per hæc quæ memorávimus, ubi humána corda flamma divínæ caritátis accéndit, et humánis sénsibus amóris Dei tota se fundit ebríetas, sáucia mente cœpérunt Deum carnálibus velle óculis intuéri. Deum, quem mundus non capit, angústus quómodo cápere póterat humánus aspéctus? Quid erit, quid débeat, quid possit, non réspicit ius amóris. Amor ignórat iudícium, ratióne caret, modum nescit. Amor non áccipit de impossibilitáte solácium, non récipit de difficultáte remédium.

Amor, nisi ad desideráta perváserit, necat amántem; et ídeo vadit quo dúcitur, non quo débeat. Amor parit desidérium, gliscit ardóre, ardor ad inconcéssa perténdit. Et quid plura? Amor quod amat non potest non vidére: hinc est quod omnes sancti ómnia quæ merúerant parva duxérunt, si Dóminum non vidérent. Hinc est quod amor qui cupit vidére Deum, etsi non habet iudícium, habet tamen stúdium pietátis. Hinc est quod Móyses audet dícere: Si invéni grátiam coram te, osténde mihi fáciem tuam. Hinc est quod álius dicit: Osténde fáciem tuam. Dénique et ipsi gentíles ob hoc simulácra finxérunt, ut in ipsis erróribus óculis cérnerent quod colébant.

r. Salus nostra, Redémptor noster modo véniet, quem Gábriel nuntiávit et María Virgo concépit; * Ipse venit liberáre hóminem pérditum quem plasmávit in mundum. v. Princeps Gábriel magne, testis fidélis, iam véniet qui ventúrus est. * Ipse venit. v. Glória Patri. * Ipse venit.

Orémus.
