De libro Exodi

In diébus illis: Locútus est Deus cunctos sermónes hos: " Ego sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti, de domo servitútis. Non habébis deos aliénos coram me. Non fácies tibi scúlptile neque omnem similitúdinem eórum quæ sunt in cælo désuper et quæ in terra deórsum et quæ in aquis sub terra. Non adorábis ea neque coles, quia ego sum Dóminus Deus tuus, Deus zelótes vísitans iniquitátem patrum in fíliis in tértiam et quartam generatiónem eórum qui odérunt me, et fáciens misericórdiam in mília his qui díligunt me et custódiunt præcépta mea. "

Non assúmes nomen Dómini Dei tui in vanum, nec enim habébit insóntem Dóminus eum qui assúmpserit nomen Dómini Dei sui frustra. Meménto ut diem sábbati sanctífices. Sex diébus operáberis et fácies ómnia ópera tua; séptimus autem dies sábbatum Dómino Deo tuo est; non fácies omne opus tu et fílius tuus et fília tua, servus tuus et ancílla tua, iuméntum tuum et ádvena qui est intra portas tuas. Sex enim diébus fecit Dóminus cælum et terram et mare et ómnia quæ in eis sunt, et requiévit in die séptimo; idcírco benedíxit Dóminus diéi sábbati et sanctificávit eum. "

Honóra patrem tuum et matrem tuam, ut sis longævus super terram quam Dóminus Deus tuus dabit tibi. Non occídes; non mœcháberis; non furtum fácies. Non loquéris contra próximum tuum falsum testimónium. Non concupísces domum próximi tui: non desiderábis uxórem eius, non servum, non ancíllam, non bovem, non ásinum, nec ómnia quæ illíus sunt. "

r. Cantémus Dómino, glorióse enim honorificátus est: equum et ascensórem proiécit in mare. * Adiútor et protéctor factus est mihi Dóminus in salútem. v. Currus pharaónis et exercítum eius proiécit in mare. * Adiútor. v. Glória Patri. * Adiútor.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Sermónibus beáti Guerríci abbátis (Sermo de prodigo filio, 1-2: SC 202, 26-28)

O felix humílitas pæniténtium! O beáta spes confiténtium. Quam potens es apud omnipoténtem; quam fácile vincis invicíbilem; quam cito treméndum iúdicem convértis in piíssimum patrem. Pródigus fílius tam gráviter reus nondum conféssus erat sed tantum confitéri deliberáverat; nondum satisfécerat sed tamen ad satisfaciéndum ánimum inclináverat; et de solo fere propósito concéptæ humilitátis véniam statim obtínuit, quæ tanto témpore tantis expétitur votis, implorátur lácrimis, ambítur obséquiis. Latrónem in cruce sola conféssio absólvit, istum sola volúntas confiténdi. Dixi, inquit, confitébor advérsum me iniustítiam meam Dómino; et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.

Ubíque misericórdia prævénit. Prævénerat voluntátem confessiónis ipsam inspirándo; prævénit et vocem confessiónis quod confiténdum erat indulgéndo. Quantum hæc verba sonáre vidéntur, tárdius videbátur patri fílio véniam dedísse quam illi accepísse. Sic festinábat absólvere reum a torménto consciéntiæ suæ, quasi plus cruciáret misericórdem compássio míseri quam ipsum míserum pássio sui. Neque hoc dícimus quo in natúra incommutábili humános ponámus afféctus; sed ut in amórem illíus summæ bonitátis afféctus noster dulcéscat, dum ipsam plus nos amáre quam ipsi nos amémus ex similitúdine díscimus humána.

Vide autem quómodo ubi abundávit delíctum superabúndet grátia. Reus vix póterat speráre véniam; iudex, immo non iam iudex sed advocátus accúmulat grátiam: Cito, inquit, proférte stolam primam et indúite illum et date ánulum in manu eius. Verum ut hæc ómnia prætereámus; scílicet stolam primam, id est sanctificatiónem spíritus qua baptizátus indúitur et pænitens reindúitur; ánulum fídei quo subarrhátur; calceaménta quibus ad calcánda serpéntum venéna munítur vel ad evangelizándum præparátur; vítulum saginátum qui ei in altári immolátur; festíva illa gáudia quæ pro recépto indícta fílio toto celebrántur cælo.

r. In ieiúnio et fletu orábant sacerdótes, dicéntes: * Parce, Dómine, parce pópulo tuo, et ne des hereditátem tuam in perditiónem. v. Inter vestíbulum et altáre plorábant sacerdótes, dicéntes: * Parce. v. Glória Patri. * Parce.

Orémus.

Deus, qui nos gloriósis remédiis in terris adhuc pósitos iam cæléstium rerum facis esse consórtes, † tu, quǽsumus, in ista qua vívimus nos vita gubérna * ut ad illam, in qua ipse es, lucem perdúcas. Per Dóminum.

O God, who does us the honor of healing us and making us already partakers of heavenly goods whilst we are still on earth, we pray that Thou shalt direct us in this life that we lead, and that thou shalt bring us to this light of Thine.
