Ad invitatorium

Warning: the monastic cursus is still under construction. There may still be many errors.

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.

Ter dicitur:

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.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ

Lectio I

Aperiéntur portæ tuæ iúgiter, die ac nocte non claudéntur, ut afferátur ad te fortitúdo géntium, et reges eárum adducántur. Gens enim et regnum quod non servíerint tibi, períbunt, et gentes vastitáte vastabúntur. Glória Líbani ad te véniet, cupréssus, ulmus et ábies simul, ad ornándum locum sanctuárii mei; et locum pedum meórum glorificábo.

r. Hódie, in Iordáne baptizáto Dómino, apérti sunt cæli, et sicut colúmba super eum Spíritus mansit, et vox Patris intónuit: * Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi complácui. v. Cæli apérti sunt super eum, et vox Patris audíta est. * Hic.

Lectio II

Et vénient ad te curvi fílii eórum qui humiliavérunt te, et adorábunt vestígia pedum tuórum omnes qui detrahébant tibi, et vocábunt te Civitátem Dómini, Sion Sancti Israel. Pro eo quod fuísti derelícta et ódio hábita, et non erat qui per te transíret, ponam te in supérbiam sæculórum, gáudium in generatiónem et generatiónem; et suges lac géntium et mamílla regum lactáberis et scies quia ego Dóminus salvátor tuus, et redémptor tuus Fortis Iacob.

r. In colúmbæ spécie Spíritus Sanctus visus est, patérna vox audíta est: * Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui. v. Cæli apérti sunt super eum, et vox Patris intónuit: * Hic.

Lectio III

Pro ære áfferam aurum et pro ferro áfferam argéntum et pro lignis æs et pro lapídibus ferrum; et ponam custódes tuos pacem et præpósitos tuos iustítiam. Non audiétur ultra violéntia in terra tua, vástitas et contrítio in términis tuis; et vocábis Salútem muros tuos et portas tuas Laudem. Non erit tibi ámplius sol ad lucéndum per diem, nec splendor lunæ illuminábit te, sed erit tibi Dóminus in lucem sempitérnam, et Deus tuus in glóriam tuam.

r. Reges Tharsis et ínsulæ múnera ófferent, * Reges Arabum et Saba dona Dómino Deo addúcent. v. Omnes de Saba vénient, aurum et tus deferéntes. * Reges.

Lectio IV

Non óccidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuétur, quia erit tibi Dóminus in lucem sempitérnam, et complebúntur dies luctus tui. Pópulus autem tuus omnes iusti; in perpétuum hereditábunt terram, germen plantatiónis meæ, opus manus meæ ad glorificándum. Mínimus erit in mille, et párvulus in gentem fortem. Ego Dóminus in témpore eius súbito fáciam istud.

r. Dies sanctificátus illúxit nobis: veníte, gentes, et adoráte Dóminum, * Quia hódie appáruit lux magna in terris. v. Veníte, adorémus eum; quia ipse est Dóminus Deus noster. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

let all the trees of the forest shout for joy before the Lord, for He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernárdi abbátis (Sermo 1 in Epiphania, 5-6: EC 4, 296-297)

Lectio I

Hodie magi ab Oriénte venérunt, ortum solem iustítiæ requiréntes, eum de quo légitur: Ecce vir, Oriens nomen illi. Hódie adoravérunt novum Vírginis partum, sequéntes novi síderis ductum. Nonne et hic nobis est magna consolátio? Quid fácitis, o magi, quid fácitis? Lacténtem púerum adorátis, in tugúrio vili, in vílibus pannis? Ergóne Deus est iste? Deus certe in templo sancto suo, Dóminus in cælo sedes eius, et vos eum quritis in vili stábulo, in matris grémio? Quid fácitis, quod et aurum offértis? Ergo rex est ipse? Et ubi aula régia, ubi thronus, ubi cúriæ regális frequéntia? Numquid aula est stábulum, thronus præsépium, cúriæ frequéntia Ioseph et María?

r. Illumináre, illumináre Ierúsalem, venit lux tua, * Et glória Dómini super te orta est. v. Et ambulábunt gentes in lúmine tuo, et reges in splendóre ortus tui. * Et.

Lectio II

Quómodo ita insipiéntes facti sunt viri sapiéntes, ut adórent párvulum despicábilem tam sua ætáte quam paupertáte suórum? Insipiéntes facti sunt, ut fíerent sapiéntes, et prædócuit eos Spíritus quod póstea prædicávit Apóstolus: Qui vult esse sápiens, fiat stultus, ut sápiens sit. Nonne timéndum erat, fratres, ne scandalizaréntur viri isti, et illúsos se créderent, cum tanta indígna vidérent?

r. Omnes de Saba vénient, aurum et tus deferéntes, et laudem Dómino annuntiántes, * Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Reges Tharsis et ínsulæ múnera ófferent, reges Arabum et Saba dona addúcent. * Allelúia.

Lectio III

A régia civitáte, ubi regem quæréndum coniectabántur, ad Béthlehem villam párvulam dirigúntur: ingrediúntur stábulum, invéniunt involútum pannis infántulum. Non illis sordet stábulum, non pannis offendúntur, non scandalizántur lacténtis infántia: prócidunt, venerántur ut regem, adórant ut Deum. Sed profécto qui illos addúxit, ipse et instrúxit, et qui per stellam foris admónuit, ipse in occúlto cordis edócuit. Hæc ígitur Dómini declarátio clarificávit hanc diem, et magórum devóta venerátio fecit et venerábilem.

r. Magi véniunt ab Oriénte Hierosólymam, quæ réntes et dicéntes: Ubi est qui natus est, cuius stellam vídimus? * Et vénimus adoráre Dóminum. v. Vídimus stellam eius in Oriénte. * Et.

Lectio IV

Nec sola hæc apparítio, sed áltera quædam, sicut a pátribus nostris accépimus, hódie celebrátur, quæ, etsi longo post témpore, facta créditur hoc ipso die. Cum enim iam trigínta annos exegísset in carne, qui secúndum divinitátem idem ipse est et anni eius non defícient, inter populáres turbas ad baptísmum Ioánnis advénit: venit tamquam unus e pópulo qui solus erat sine peccáto.

r. Interrogábat magos Heródes: Quod signum vidístis super natum regem? Stellam magnam fulgéntem, cuius splendor illúminat mundum. * Et nos cognóvimus, et vénimus adoráre Dóminum. v. Magi véniunt ab Oriénte, inquiréntes fáciem Dómini et dicéntes. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.

Consolámini, consolámini pópulum meum, * dicit Deus vester.

Loquímini ad cor Ierúsalem et clamáte ad eam, † quóniam compléta est malítia eius, * expiáta est iníquitas illíus;

suscépit de manu Dómini duplícia * pro ómnibus peccátis suis.

Vox clamántis: † «In desérto paráte viam Dómini, * rectas fácite in solitúdine sémitas Dei nostri.»

Omnis vallis exaltétur * et omnis mons et collis humiliétur;

et fiant prava in dirécta, * et áspera in plana:

et revelábitur glória Dómini, * et vidébit omnis caro páriter quod os Dómini locútum est.

Vox dicéntis: «Clama!» * Et dixi: «Quid clamábo?»

Omnis caro fenum, * et omnis glória eius quasi flos agri;

exsiccátum est fenum, et cécidit flos; * quia spíritus Dómini sufflávit in eo.

so that thou may enjoy with delight the fullness of his glory.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthæum

Cum natus esset Iesus in Béthlehem Iudæ in diébus Heródis regis, ecce magi ab Oriénte venérunt Hierosólymam dicéntes: " Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudæórum? " Et réliqua.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Odilónis abbátis (Sermo 2: PL 142, 997-998)

Lectio I

Hodie Christus mundo maniféstus appáruit, hódie baptísmatis sacraméntum suscépit, et suscipiéndo sua præséntia consecrávit. Hódie, ut fides credéntium credit, aquas ad núptias in vinum convértit. Fit spiritáliter vinum ex aqua, quóniam cessánte legis líttera fulget per Christum Evangélii grátia. Baptizátur Christus, renovátur mundus; Christus baptizátur, vetus homo exúitur, novus homo indúitur. Expéllitur ille primus homo de terra terrénus; secúndus indúitur de cælo cæléstis.

r. Stella quam víderant magi in Oriénte antecedébat eos, donec venírent ad locum ubi puer erat. * Vidéntes autem eam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno. v. Et intrántes domum, invenérunt púerum cum María Matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum. * Vidéntes.

Lectio II

Quando Christus baptizátus est, mystérium sacri baptísmatis consecrátum est præséntia totíus Trinitátis; vox Patris intónuit: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus in quo mihi complácui; in spécie colúmbæ Spíritus Sanctus appáruit, et sicut solus Fílius a beáto Ioánne baptizári vóluit. De hac vero senténtia beátus Hilárius tam pulchre scribit quam sane sentit. Et licet tota Trínitas incarnatiónem Verbi et mystérium baptísmi operáta sit, tamen solus Fílius baptizátus est a Ioánne, sicut solus natus est de Vírgine, et omnes assúmptæ mortalitátis passiónes sine peccáto transcúrrit, et secúndum divinitátis natúram semper impassíbilis mansit.

r. Vidéntes stellam magi, gavísi sunt gáudio magno; et intrántes domum, invenérunt púerum cum María Matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum. * Et apértis thesáuris suis, obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, tus et myrrham. v. Stella quam víderant in Oriénte antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra ubi erat puer. * Et.

Lectio III

Est hic dies satis per se festívus, sed ídeo nimis perspícuus, quóniam natáli domínico dignóscitur esse contíguus. Cum Deus in púero adorátur, virgínei partus honor excólitur. Cum hómini Deo múnera deferúntur, divíni puerpérii dígnitas adorátur. Dum María cum púero invenítur, vera Christi humánitas et Dei Genetrícis prædicátur intégritas.

r. Hic est dies præclárus, in quo Salvátor mundi appáruit, quem prophétæ prædixérunt, ángeli adoravérunt, * Cuius stellam magi vidéntes gavísi sunt et múnera ei obtulérunt. v. Dies sanctificátus illúxit nobis: veníte, gentes, et adoráte Dóminum. * Cuius.

Lectio IV

Sic enim dicit Evangelísta: Et intrántes domum adoravérunt et obtulérunt ei múnera. Ea quæ magi ófferunt múnera, secréta de Christo produnt sacraménta. Dantes aurum, regem prædicant; tus offeréntes Deum adórant; myrrham ostendéntes mortálem agnóscunt. Nos ergo ita credámus Christum assumpsísse mortalitátem nostram ut per eius simplam mortem duplam nostram cognoscámus abólitam.

r. Tria sunt múnera pretiósa, quæ obtulérunt magi Dómino in die ista, et habent in se divína mystéria: * In auro, ut ostendátur regis poténtia, in ture, sacerdótem magnum consídera, et in myrrha, domínicam sepultúram. v. Salútis nostræ auctórem magi veneráti sunt in cunábulis, et de thesáuris suis mýsticas ei múnerum spécies obtulérunt. * In. v. Glória Patri. * In.

Te Deum laudámus : te Dóminum confitémur.

Te ætérnum Patrem, omnis terra venerátur.

Tibi omnes ángeli, tibi cæli et univérsæ potestátes :

tibi chérubim et séraphim, incessábili voce proclámant: "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra maiestátis glóriæ tuæ."

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

Te per orbem terrárum sancta confitétur Ecclésia, Patrem imménsæ maiestátis;

venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;

Sanctum quoque Paráclitum Spíritum.

Tu rex glóriæ, Christe.

Tu Patris sempitérnus es Fílius. Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem,

non horruísti Vírginis úterum.

Tu, devícto mortis acúleo,

aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.

Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes, in glória Patris.

Iudex créderis esse ventúrus.

Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis subvéni, quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.

Ætérna fac cum sanctis tuis in glória numerári.

¶ Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.

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.

Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, quemádmodum sperávimus in te.

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

¶ Hæc ultima pars hymni ad libitum omitti potest.

Deinde abbas cantat evangelium de dominica currente, in cuius fine omnes respondent :

Then the abbot sang the Gospel [of Sunday] current, to which all respond at the end with:

r. Amen

r. Amen.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Mattháeum (2,1-12)

Cum natus esset Iésus in Béthlehem Iudǽæ in diébus Heródis regis, ecce Magi ab oriénte venérunt Hierosólymam dicéntes: “Ubi est, qui natus est, rex Iudæórum? Vídimus enim stellam eíus in oriénte et venímus adoráre eum.” Áudiens autem Heródes rex turbátus est et omnis Hierosólyma cum illo; et cóngregans omnes príncipes sacerdótum et scribas pópuli, sciscitabátur ab eis ubi Christus nascerétur. At illi dixérunt ei: “In Béthlehem Iudǽæ. Sic enim scriptum est per prophétam: ‘Et tu, Béthlehem terra Iúdæ, nequáquam mínima es in princípibus Iúdæ; ex te enim éxiet dux, qui reget pópulum meum Israel.’” Tunc Heródes, clam vocátis Magis, diligénter dídicit ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ appáruit eis; et mittens illos in Béthlehem dixit: “Ite et interrogáte diligénter de púero; et cum invenéritis, renuntiáte mihi, ut et ego véniens adórem eum.” Qui cum audíssent regem, abiérunt. Et ecce stella, quam víderant in oriénte, antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra, ubi erat puer. Vidéntes autem stellam gavísi sunt gáudio magno valde. Et intrántes domum vidérunt púerum cum María matre eíus, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum; et apértis thesáuris suis, obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum et tus et myrrham. Et respónso accépto in somnis, ne redírent ad Heródem, per áliam viam revérsi sunt in regiónem suam.
