Dum médium siléntium tenérent ómnia, et nox in suo cursu médium iter habéret, omnípotens sermo tuus, Dómine, de cælis a regálibus sédibus venit. Ps. Dóminus regnávit, decórem indútus est: indútus est Dóminus fortitúdinem, et præcínxit se. v. Gloria Patri.
WHILE all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, Thine almighty Word, O Lord, leaped down from heaven from Thy royal throne. Ps. The Lord hath reigned, He is clothed with beauty: the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded Himself. Glory be to the Father.

Fidéles tuos, quǽsumus, Dómine, benígnus illúmina, † et splendóre glóriæ tuæ corda eórum semper accénde, * ut Salvatórem suum et incessánter agnóscant, et veráciter apprehéndant. Qui tecum.
Enlighten, we ask Thou, Lord, Thy faithful with kindness, and evermore kindle their hearts with the splendor of Thy glory, that they may unceasingly recognize their Saviour and verily understand Him.
Lectio I
Léctio Primæ Epístolæ Beáti Ioánnis Apóstoli (2, 22-28)
Caríssimi: Quis est mendax, nisi is qui negat quóniam Iesus est Christus? Hic est antichrístus, qui negat Patrem et Fílium. Omnis, qui negat Fílium, nec Patrem habet; qui confitétur Fílium, et Patrem habet. Vos, quod audístis ab inítio, in vobis máneat. Si in vobis mánserit, quod ab inítio audístis, et vos in Fílio et in Patre manébitis. Et hæc est repromíssio, quam ipse pollícitus est nobis: vitam ætérnam. Hæc scripsi vobis de his, qui sedúcunt vos. Et vos, unctiónem, quam accepístis ab eo, manet in vobis, et non necésse habétis, ut áliquis dóceat vos; sed sicut únctio eius docet vos de ómnibus, et verum est et non est mendácium, et, sicut dócuit vos, manéte in eo. Et nunc, filíoli, manéte in eo, ut, cum apparúerit, habeámus fidúciam et non confundámur ab eo in advéntu eius.
Beloved: Who is a liar, but he which denieth that Jesus is Christ? This is Antichrist which denieth the Father and the Son. Every one that denieth the Son, neither hath he the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also. You, that which you have heard from the beginning, let it abide in you. If that abide in you which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son & the Father. And this is the promise which he promised us, life everlasting. These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. And you, the unction which you have received from him, let it abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you: but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and it is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him. And now little children abide in him: that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded of him in his coming.
Verbum Dómini. r. Deo grátias.
Word of the Lord. r. Let us give thanks to God.

Hoc est testimónium Ioánnis, quando misérunt ad eum Iudǽi ab Hierosólymis sacerdótes et Levítas, ut interrogárent eum: “ Tu quis es? ”. Et conféssus est et non negávit; et conféssus est: “ Non sum ego Christus ”. Et interrogavérunt eum: “ Quid ergo? Elías es tu? ”. Et dicit: “ Non sum ”. “ Prophéta es tu? ”. Et respóndit: “ Non ”. Dixérunt ergo ei: “ Quis es? Ut respónsum demus his, qui misérunt nos. Quid dicis de teipso? ”. Ait: “ Ego vox clamántis in desérto: “Dirígite viam Dómini”, sicut dixit Isaías prophéta ”. Et qui missi fúerant, erant ex pharísæis; et interrogavérunt eum et dixérunt ei: “ Quid ergo baptízas, si tu non es Christus neque Elías neque prophéta? ”. Respóndit eis Ioánnes dicens: “ Ego baptízo in aqua; médius vestrum stat, quem vos non scitis, qui post me ventúrus est, cuius ego non sum dignus, ut solvam eius corrígiam calceaménti ”. Hæc in Bethánia facta sunt trans Iordánem, ubi erat Ioánnes baptízans.
This is John's testimony, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem Priests and Levites to him, that they should ask him, who art thou? And he confessed, and did not deny: and he confessed, That I am not Christ. And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he answered: No. They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? what sayest thou of thyself? He said: I am the voice of one crying in the desert, make straight the way of our Lord, as Esaie the Prophet said. And they that were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said to him: Why then doest thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the Prophet? John answered them, saying: I baptize in water; but there hath stood in the midst of you whom you know not. The same is he that shall come after me, that is made before me; whose latchet of his shoe I am not worthy to loose. These things were done in Bethania beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

After this, standing in the center of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he said:

On Universal Restoration in the Incarnation
Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
It is verily right and just, fair and praiseworthy, to give thee thanks evermore and everywhere: O Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord.
Qui, in huius venerándi festivitáte mystérii, invisíbilis in suis, visíbilis in nostris appáruit, et ante témpora génitus esse cœpit in témpore; ut, in se érigens cuncta deiécta, in íntegrum restitúeret univérsa, et hóminem pérditum ad cæléstia regna revocáret.
He who, as we celebrate the venerable mystery of this feast, though invisible in His divine nature, made Himself visible in our human nature, and, though begotten before time, began to exist within time; so that, by raising up in Himself all that had fallen, He might restore all things to their integrity and bring back the lost human race unto the heavenly realms.
Unde et nos, cum ómnibus Angelis te laudámus, iucúnda celebratióne clamántes:
That is wherefore we, too, together with all the angels, praise Thou, joyfully proclaiming:
