Solemn things of mystic meaning: Incense doth the God disclose; Gold a royal child proclaimeth; Myrrh a future tomb foreshows.

O sola magnárum úrbium maior Bethlem, cui cóntigit ducem salútis cǽlitus incorporátum gígnere!

Bethlehem, of noblest cities None can once with thee compare; Thou alone the Lord from heaven Didst for us incarnate bear.

Hunc et prophétis téstibus isdémque signatóribus testátor et sator iubet adíre regnum et cérnere:

‘Tis He the Prophets’ words foretold, And by their signs shown forth of old; The Father’s witness hath ordained That we should hear with faith unfeigned.

Regnum quod ambit ómnia dia et marína et térrea a solis ortu ad éxitum et tártara et cælum supra.

Afflicti supplicatio cum fiducia

Supplication of the afflicted with confidence

Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum (Lc 23, 46).

Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit (Lk 23:46)

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.

As for me, I have put my hope in the Lord. I will leap for joy and gladness in Thy mercy.

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.

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.

Ant. 2. Let Your face shine upon Your servant, O Lord.

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.

Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea * et anni mei in gemítibus;

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.

Apud omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium et vicínis meis valde et timor notis meis: * qui vidébant me foras, fugiébant a me.

More than all my enemies, I have become an object of reproach, especially to my neighbors, and the terror of those who know me.

Oblivióni a corde datus sum tamquam mórtuus; * factus sum tamquam vas pérditum.

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;

Eripe 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; let deceitful lips become dumb,

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

they who pronounce iniquity against the righteous, with pride and insolence.]

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

III

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

How great, O Lord, is the abundance of Thy meekness, which Thou hast set up for those who fear Thou!

Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.

Thou exercise it against those who hope in Thou, in the sight of the children of men.

Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum;

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of Thy face, safe from the tumult of men.

As for me, I said in the transport of my spirit: I have been rejected from before Thy eyes.

Verúmtamen exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.

That is wherefore Thou heardest the voice of my prayer when I cried out to Thou.

Dilígite Dóminum, omnes sancti eius: fidéles consérvat Dóminus * et retríbuit abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.

Love the Lord, all of thee His saints; for the Lord will seek the truth, and He shall punish widely those who give themselves up to pride.

De Cántico canticórum

Ego dilécto meo et ad me appetítus eius. Veni, dilécte mi, egrediámur in agrum, commorémur in villis; mane properábimus ad víneas, vidébimus si flóruit vínea, si flores aperiúntur, si floruérunt mala púnica; ibi dabo tibi amóres meos. Mandrágoræ dedérunt odórem; in portis nostris ómnia poma óptima, nova et vétera, dilécte mi, servávi tibi.

Quæ est ista quæ ascéndit de desérto, inníxa super diléctum suum? Sub arbóre malo suscitávi te; ibi parturívit te mater tua, ibi parturívit te génetrix tua.

Pone me ut signáculum super cor tuum, ut signáculum super bráchium tuum, quia fortis est ut mors diléctio, dura sicut inférnus æmulátio; lámpades eius lámpades ignis atque flammæ divínæ. Aquæ multæ non potuérunt exstínguere caritátem, nec flúmina óbruent illam; si déderit homo omnem substántiam domus suæ pro dilectióne, quasi nihil despícient eum.

r. Beáta et venerábilis, Virgo, quæ sine tactu pudóris invénta est Mater Salvatóris. * Iacébat in præsépio et fulgébat in cælo. v. Dómine, audívi audítum tuum et tímui, considerávi ópera tua et expávi; in médio duórum animálium. * Iacébat. v. Glória Patri. * Iacébat.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Sermónibus Petri Blesénsis presbýteri (Sermo 6: PL 207, 579-580)

A diébus æternitátis latúerat et abscónditum fúerat verbum Patris, sicut scriptum est: Pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum. Et álius prophéta dicit: Vere Deus abscónditus tu es, Rex Israel salvátor. Et illud altérius prophétæ: Bráchium Dómini cui revelátum est? Venit enim de monte condénso et umbróso. Nam sacraméntum hoc, sicut Apóstolus dicit, non est ágnitum áliis generatiónibus. Ideo antíquis pátribus videbátur quia nimis esset Christus elongátus ab eis. Unde cum Isaías de Verbi Incarnatióne loquerétur: Verbum, inquit, véniet de longínquo. Et hoc est quod in Númeris légitur: Audítor sermónum meórum, vidébo eum, sed non modo; intuébor eum, sed non prope. Conclúserat Dóminus ómnia sub peccáto, ut ómnium misererétur. Omnes peccáverant et egébant grátia Dei. Ideóque erat Dóminus elongátus ab eis quia longe a peccatóribus salus.

Sed egréssus est verus Isaac noster, ut meditarétur in agro, sicut ipse dicit: Exívi a Patre et veni in mundum, ex útero Patris ante lucíferum génitus venit in úterum Vírginis Matris. A summo équidem cælo egréssio eius. Et testimónio Michææ prophétæ: Egréssio eius ab inítio a diébus æternitátis. De illíus egréssu et regréssu evangelísta testimónium ferens: A Deo, inquit, venit et ad Deum vadit. Egréditur Isaac in agrum ut meditétur.

Quis est iste ager, nisi úterus Vírginis qui prodúcit germen Dómini in magnificéntia et glória? Hic est ager cui benedíxit Dóminus et de quo scriptum est: Pulchritúdo agri mecum est. Et quid cógitat Dóminus? Cogitávi, inquit, cogitatiónes pacis: hic est verus Ioseph qui míttitur a patre ut vídeat fratres suos et pécora. Nonne missus est qui dicit: Spíritus Dómini super me, eo quod únxerit me; ad evangelizándum paupéribus misit me? Ipse est qui dicit: Dóminus misit me et Spíritus eius. Missus est Ioseph ad fratres suos. Fratres Christi omnes sunt qui Christi fidem recípiunt.

r. Confirmátum est cor Vírginis, in quo divína mystéria Angelo narránte, concépit. Te, formam præ fíliis hóminum, castis suscépit viscéribus, * Et benedícta in ætérnum, Deum nobis prótulit et hóminem. v. Domus pudíci péctoris templum repénte fit Dei: intácta nésciens virum, verbo concépit Fílium. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.

Orémus.

Deus, cuius Verbi ætérnitas cæli fáciem decorávit, et ex María Vírgine carnis nostræ fragilitátem suscépit, quǽsumus, ut qui splendor veritátis in nobis appáruit, pro mundi redemptióne in plenitúdine potestátis procédat. Qui tecum.

O God, whose eternal Word has beautified the face of heaven, and who, from the Virgin Mary, has taken on the frailty of our flesh, we pray that the splendor of the truth, which has appeared in us, may be manifested in all its power for the redemption of the world.
