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.

Psalm 8

Maiestas Domini et dignitas hominis

Majesty of the Lord, and dignity of man

Omnia subiecit sub pedibus eius, et ipsum dedit caput supra omnia Ecclesiæ (Eph 1, 22).

God subjected everything to Him, and, placing Him above all, made Him the head of the Church (Eph 1:22).

Dómine, Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra,

O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!

quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua * super cælos.

For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

Ex ore infántium et lactántium † perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

Quando vídeo cælos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum, * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti,

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

quid est homo, quod memor es eius, * aut fílius hóminis quóniam vísitas eum?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

Minuísti eum paulo minus ab ángelis, † glória et honóre coronásti eum * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: and hast set him over the works of thy hands.

Omnia subiecísti sub pédibus eius, † oves et boves univérsas, * ínsuper et pécora campi,

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

vólucres cæli et pisces maris, * quæcúmque perámbulant sémitas maris.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

Psalmus 18

Psalm 18

Laus Domini rerum conditoris

Praise to the Lord creator of all things

Visitavit nos Oriens ex alto...ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis (Lc 1,78.79)

The star from on high has come to visit us and guide our steps on the path of peace. (Lk 1, 78. 79).

Cæli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum eíus annúntiat firmaméntum.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.

Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.

Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.

Non sunt loquélæ neque sermónes, * quorum non intellegántur voces:

There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

in omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Soli pósuit tabernáculum in eis, † et ipse, tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo, * exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam.

He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:

A fínibus cælórum egréssio eíus, † et occúrsus eíus usque ad fines eórum, * nec est quod se abscóndat a calóre eíus.

His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.

Lex Dómini immaculáta, refíciens ánimam, * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.

The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.

Iustítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda, * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum, illúminans óculos.

The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

Timor Dómini mundus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi; * iudícia Dómini vera, iústa ómnia simul,

The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

desiderabília super aurum et lápidem pretiósum multum, * et dulcióra super mel et favum stillántem.

More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

Étenim servus tuus erudítur in eis; * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.

For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.

Erróres quis intéllegit? † Ab occúltis munda me * et a supérbia custódi servum tuum, ne dominétur mei,

Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: and from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me,

Tunc immaculátus ero * et emundábor a delícto máximo.

then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.

Sint ut compláceant elóquia oris mei, * et meditátio cordis mei in conspéctu tuo.

And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.

Domini in templum adventus

The advent of God in the Temple

Christo apertæ sunt portæ cæli propter carnalem eius assumptionem (S. Irenæus).

Dómini est terra et plenitúdo eius, * orbis terrárum et qui hábitant in eo.

Unto the Lord is the earth and all that is in it, the world and all those who inhabit it.

Quia ipse super mária fundávit eum * et super flúmina firmávit eum.

For it is He who founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.

Quis ascéndet in montem Dómini, * aut quis stabit in loco sancto eius?

Who will go up on the mountain of the Lord, or who will stand in his holy place?

Innocens mánibus et mundo corde, † qui non levávit ad vana ánimam suam, * nec iurávit in dolum.

He who has innocent hands and a pure heart, who has not given up his soul to vanity, nor made a deceitful oath to his neighbor.

Hic accípiet benedictiónem a Dómino * et iustificatiónem a Deo salutári suo.

He shall receive the blessing of the Lord, and the mercy of God, his Savior.

Hæc est generátio quæréntium eum, * quæréntium fáciem Dei Iacob.

Such is the race of those who seek him, of those who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Attóllite, portæ, cápita vestra, † et elevámini, portæ æternáles, * et introíbit rex glóriæ.

Lift up thy gates, O princes, and lift yourselves up, eternal gates, and the king of glory will enter.

Quis est iste rex glóriæ? * Dóminus fortis et potens, Dóminus potens in prœlio.

Thou art the fairest of the sons of man, grace is poured out on Thy lips, that is wherefore God has blessed Thou forevermore.

Sedes tua, Deus, in sǽculum sǽculi; * sceptrum æquitátis sceptrum regni tui.

Thy throne, O God, is established forevermore; the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.

Dilexísti iustítiam et odísti iniquitátem, † proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, * óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios

Lectio I

Fratres: De virgínibus præcéptum Dómini non hábeo, consílium autem do, tamquam misericórdiam consecútus a Dómino ut sim fidélis. Exístimo ergo hoc bonum esse propter instántem necessitátem, quóniam bonum est hómini sic esse. Alligátus es uxóri? Noli quærere solutiónem. Solútus es ab uxóre? Noli quærere uxórem. Si autem accéperis uxórem, non peccásti; et si núpserit virgo, non peccávit. Tribulatiónem tamen carnis habébunt huiúsmodi, ego autem vobis parco.

r. Sanctimoniális autem fémina, dum negántis verba audísset, oratiónem fudit, * Et inundátio plúviæ erúpit. v. Tanta fuit conveniéntia oratiónis et inundatiónis, ut de mensa caput iam cum tonítruo leváret. * Et inundátio.

Lectio II

Hoc ítaque dico, fratres, tempus breviátum est; relíquum est ut et qui habent uxóres, tamquam non habéntes sint, et qui flent, tamquam non flentes, et qui gaudent, tamquam non gaudéntes, et qui emunt, tamquam non possidéntes, et qui utúntur hoc mundo tamquam non abuténtes; præterit enim figúra huius mundi. Volo autem vos sine sollicitúdine esse. Qui sine uxóre est, sollícitus est quæ Dómini sunt, quómodo pláceat Dómino; qui autem cum uxóre est, sollícitus est quæ sunt mundi, quómodo pláceat uxóri, et divísus est. Et múlier innúpta et virgo cógitat quæ Dómini sunt, ut sit sancta et córpore et spíritu; quæ autem nupta est, cógitat quæ sunt mundi, quómodo pláceat viro. Porro hoc ad utilitátem vestram dico, non ut láqueum vobis iníciam, sed ad id quod honéstum est et ut assídue cum Dómino sitis sine distractióne.

r. Rogávi te, nec pótui obtinére quod vólui; * Rogávi Dóminum meum, et exaudívit me. v. Egrédere si prvales, Benedícte sanctíssime, et me dimíssa ad monastérium redi. * Rogávi.

Lectio III

Si quis autem turpem se vidéri exístimat super vírgine sua quod sit superadúlta, et ita opórtet fíeri, quod vult fáciat; non peccat: nubant. Qui autem státuit in corde suo firmus, non habens necessitátem, potestátem autem habet suæ voluntátis, et hoc iudicávit in corde suo serváre vírginem suam, bene faciet; ígitur et qui matrimónio iungit vírginem suam, bene facit; et qui non iungit, mélius fáciet.

r. Sancta virgo Scholástica quasi hortus irríguus, * Gratiárum cæléstium iugi rore perfundebátur. v. Sicut fons aquárum, cuius non defícient aquæ. * Gratiárum.

Lectio IV

Mulier alligáta est quanto témpore vir eius vivit; quod si dormíerit vir eius, líbera est, cui vult núbere, tantum in Dómino. Beátior autem erit si sic permánserit, secúndum meum consílium; puto autem quod et ego Spíritum Dei hábeo.

r. Cumque sanctus Benedíctus in cella consísteret, elevátis sursum óculis, vidit soróris suæ ánimam, de córpore eius egréssam, * In colúmbæ spécie cæli secréta penetráre. v. Qui tantæ eius glóriæ congáudens, omnipoténti Deo grátias réferens, eius óbitum frátribus denuntiávit. * In colúmbæ spécie. v. Glória Patri. * In colúmbæ spécie.

You are seated above the Cherubim, You who renewed the state of the earth plunged in evil, by taking on our likeness (S. Athanasius).

Dóminus regnávit! Commoveántur pópuli; * sedet super chérubim, moveátur terra.

The Lord reigns! The people tremble; He is seated on the Cherubim; the earth is tottering.

Dóminus in Sion magnus * et excélsus super omnes pópulos.

The Lord is great in Zion, exalted above all peoples.

Confiteántur nómini tuo magno et terríbili, * quóniam sanctum est.

Let them praise Thy great and dreadful name, for it is holy!

Rex potens iudícium díligit: † tu statuísti, quæ recta sunt, * iudícium et iustítiam in Iacob tu fecísti.

Let us praise the power of the King who loves righteousness, Thou establish righteousness, Thou exercise righteousness and equity in Jacob.

Exaltáte Dóminum Deum nostrum † et adoráte ad scabéllum pedum eius, * quóniam sanctus est.

Móyses et Aaron in sacerdótibus eius * et Sámuel inter eos, qui ínvocant nomen eius.

Readings

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Tractátu sancti Augustíni epíscopi De Trinitáte (Lib. 8, 11-12: CCL 50, 285-287)

Lectio I

Non sanctus quisquam potestáte sua gaudet, sed eius a quo habet posse quidquid congruénter potest; et novit poténtius esse coniúngi Omnipoténti pia voluntáte quam própria voluntáte posse, quod contremíscant qui tália non possunt. Itaque ipse Dóminus Iesus Christus tália fáciens, ut mirántes docéret amplióra, et temporálibus insólitis inténtos atque suspénsos ad ætérna atque interióra convérteret: Veníte, inquit, ad me, omnes qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego vos refíciam vos; tóllite iugum meum super vos.

r. Soror namque beatíssimi Patris nostri Benedícti, habens nomen Scholástica, * Ab ipso témpore infántiæ suæ omnipoténti Dómino dedicáta est. v. Quæ liberióri génere ex província Núrsiæ exórta, concórdia vocábulo, spiritálem sortíta disciplínam. * Ab ipso témpore.

Lectio II

Et non dixit: " Díscite a me quia quatriduános mórtuos súscito "; sed ait: Díscite a me quia mitis sum et húmilis corde. Poténtior est enim et tútior solidíssima humílitas quam ventosíssima celsitúdo. Et ídeo séquitur dicens: Et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Diléctio enim non inflátur, et: Deus diléctio est, et: Fidéles in dilectióne acquiéscunt illi, revocáti a strépitu qui foris est ad gáudia siléntia. Ecce Deus diléctio est: utquid imus et cúrrimus in sublímia cælórum et ima terrárum, quæréntes eum qui est apud nos, si nos esse velímus apud eum?

r. Quadam vero die venit ex more fratrem vidére, ad quam sanctus Pater cum discípulis descéndit; * Qui totum diem in láudibus Dei sacrísque collóquiis perducéntes consedérunt. v. Iam noctis incumbéntibus ténebris, simul accepérunt cibos. * Qui totum.

Lectio III

Nemo dicat: " Non novi quid díligam. " Díligat fratrem, et díliget eámdem dilectiónem. Magis enim novit dilectiónem qua díligit, quam fratrem quem díligit. Ecce iam potest notiórem Deum habére quam fratrem: plane notiórem, quia præsentiórem; notiórem, quia interiórem; notiórem, quia certiórem. Ampléctere dilectiónem Deum, et dilectióne ampléctere Deum.

r. Cumque adhuc ad mensam consedíssent, et inter sacra collóquia hora tárdior se protraxísset, sanctimoniális fémina rogávit fratrem suum, colluctatiónis grátia, * Ut nocte illa se non deseréret sed commanéret. v. Cumque sanctus Pater pétitum negáret et dilécta Deo hoc audíret, oratióne cum lácrimis ad cælos mox transmíssa, et imménsa plúvia demíssa, ínvitum illum coégit * Ut nocte.

Lectio IV

Ipsa est diléctio quæ omnes bonos ángelos et omnes Dei servos consóciat vínculo sanctitátis, nosque et illos coniúngit ínvicem nobis, et subiúngit sibi. Quanto ígitur sanióres sumus a tumóre supérbiæ, tanto sumus dilectióne plenióres; et quo, nisi Deo plenus est, qui plenus est dilectióne?

r. Post tríduum ígitur sanctus Pater in cella consístens vidit soróris ánimam de córpore egréssam, in spécie cándidæ colúmbæ penetráre cælum, qui glóriæ eius tantæ congáudens * In hymnis et láudibus Omnipoténti grates magnas réddidit et eius óbitum frátribus denuntiávit. v. Tunc vir Dei, missis núntiis qui vírginis deférrent corpúsculum almum in sepúlcro próprio humándum, ínterim totus in víscera pietátis effúsus, * In hymnis. v. Glória Patri. * In hymnis.

In tertio nocturno, anno A

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

In illo témpore: Intrávit Iesus in quoddam castéllum, et múlier quædam Martha nómine excépit illum. Et réliqua.

Ex Expositióne sancti Ambrósii epíscopi in Lucam (Lib. 7, 85-86: SC 52, 36-37)

Lectio I

Non una est forma virtútis. Subícitur, Marthæ exémplo et Maríæ, altérius opéribus actuósa devótio, altérius religiósa mentis inténtio Dei verbo, quæ si cum fide cóngruat, étiam ipsis opéribus antefértur iuxta quod scriptum est: María óptimam partem sibi elégit, quæ non auferétur illi.

r. Non eris inter vírgines fátuas, dicit Dóminus, sed eris inter vírgines prudéntes; accipiéntes óleum lætítiæ lampádibus suis, * Obviántes obviavérunt sponso cum palma virginitátis. v. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. * Obviántes.

Lectio II

Studeámus ígitur et nos habére quod nemo nobis possit auférre, non ut perfunctória, sed díligens audiéntia deferátur; solent enim étiam ipsíus sémina verbi cæléstis auférri, si secus viam sint semináta. Agat te sicut Maríam desidérium sapiéntiæ; hoc enim maius, hoc perféctius opus, nec ministérii cura cognitiónem verbi cæléstis avértat nec árguas eos et otiósos iúdices quos vídeas studére sapiéntiæ; hanc enim sibi cohabitántem Sálomon ille pacíficus ascívit.

r. Audívi vocem de cælo dicéntem: Veníte, vírgines sapientíssimæ, * Oleum recóndite in vasis vestris dum sponsus advénerit. v. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. * Oleum.

Lectio III

Nec Martha tamen in bono ministério reprehénditur, sed María, quod meliórem partem sibi elégerit, antefértur; Iesus enim multis abúndat et multa largítur. Et ídeo sapiéntior quod principále advértit elégit. Dénique apóstoli óptimum non putárunt relínquere Dei verbum et ministráre mensis. Sed utrúmque munus sapiéntiæ; nam et Stéphanus plenus sapiéntiæ miníster eléctus.

r. Beáta es quæ propter Deum mundum odísti; * Proptérea datum est tibi regnum cælórum. v. Audi, Scholástica virgo et sponsa Christi: Beáta es quæ propter Deum mundum odísti. * Proptérea.

Lectio IV

Et ídeo qui minístrat doctóri déferat et ministrántem doctor invítet et próvocet; unum enim corpus Ecclésiæ, etsi divérsa membra: álterum áltero eget. Non potest dícere óculus mánui: " Operam tuam non desídero " , aut íterum caput pédibus et aurícula se negáre esse de córpore; nam etsi ália principália, tamen ália necessária. Sapiéntia in cápite, actus in mánibus; óculi enim sapiéntis in cápite eius, quia ille vere sapit cuius ánimus in Christo est et cuius intérior óculus erígitur ad supérna. Et ídeo sapiéntis óculi eius in cápite ipsíus, stulti autem in calcáneo.

r. In colúmbæ spécie Scholásticæ ánima visa est; fratérna mens lætáta est hymnis et imménsis láudibus. * Benedíctus sit talis éxitus, multo magis talis intróitus. v. Totus cælésti gáudio perfúsus remánsit Pater Benedíctus. * Benedíctus sit. v. Glória Patri. * Benedíctus sit.

Tibi omnes ángeli, tibi cæli et univérsæ potestátes :

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam (10,38-42)

In illo tempore: Intrávit Iesus in quoddam castéllum, et múlier quædam Martha nómine excépit illum. Et huic erat soror nómine María, quæ étiam sedens secus pedes Dómini audiébat verbum illíus. Martha autem satagébat circa frequens ministérium; quæ stetit et ait: “Dómine, non est tibi curæ quod soror mea relíquit me solam ministráre? Dic ergo illi, ut me adiúvet.” Et respóndens dixit illi Dóminus: “Mártha, Martha, sollícita es et turbáris erga plúrima, porro unum est necessárium; María enim óptimam partem elégit, quæ non auferétur ab ea.”
