De libro Exodi
In diébus illis: Videns pópulus quod moram fáceret descendéndi de monte Móyses, congregátus ad Aaron dixit: " Surge, fac nobis deos qui nos præcédant; Móysi enim, huic viro qui nos edúxit de terra Ægýpti, ignorámus quid accíderit. " Dixítque ad eos Aaron: " Tóllite ináures áureas de uxórum filiorúmque et filiárum vestrárum áuribus et afférte ad me. " Fecítque omnis pópulus quæ iússerat, déferens ináures ad Aaron. Quas cum ille accepísset, formávit stilo imáginem et fecit ex eis vítulum conflátilem. Dixerúntque: " Hi sunt dii tui, Israel, qui te eduxérunt de terra Ægýpti! " Quod cum vidísset Aaron, ædificávit altáre coram eo et præcónis voce clamávit dicens: " Cras sollémnitas Dómini est. " Surgentésque mane áltero die obtulérunt holocáusta et hóstias pacíficas; et sedit pópulus manducáre et bíbere et surrexérunt lúdere.
Locútus est autem Dóminus ad Móysen: " Vade, descénde; peccávit pópulus tuus quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti. Recessérunt cito de via quam præcépi eis, fecerúntque sibi vítulum conflátilem et adoravérunt atque immolántes ei hóstias dixérunt: "Isti sunt dii tui, Israel, qui te eduxérunt de terra Ægýpti!" ". Rursúmque ait Dóminus ad Móysen: " Cerno quod pópulus iste duræ cervícis sit; dimítte me, ut irascátur furor meus contra eos et déleam eos faciámque te in gentem magnam. "
Moyses autem orábat Dóminum Deum suum dicens: " Cur, Dómine, iráscitur furor tuus contra pópulum tuum quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti in fortitúdine magna et in manu robústa? Ne, quæso, dicant Ægýptii: "Cállide edúxit eos, ut interfíceret in móntibus et deléret e terra". Quiéscat ira tua et esto placábilis super nequítia pópuli tui. Recordáre Abraham, Isaac et Israel servórum tuórum quibus iurásti per temetípsum dicens: "Multiplicábo semen vestrum sicut stellas cæli; et univérsam terram hanc, de qua locútus sum, dabo sémini vestro, et possidébitis eam semper". Placatúsque est Dóminus, ne fáceret malum quod locútus fúerat advérsus pópulum suum.
r. Atténdite, pópule meus, legem meam, * Inclináte aurem vestram in verba oris mei. v. Apériam in parábolis os meum; loquar propositiónes ab inítio sæculi. * Inclináte. v. Glória Patri. * Inclináte.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Sermónibus Auctóris Anónymi (Rev. Étud. Aug. 25, 1979, 139-140)
Domini considerémus salubérrimum consílium dicéntis: Opórtet semper oráre et non defícere. O homo, qui te redémit, qui te fácere vóluit, non vult te cessáre a précibus, non vult ab oratióne aliquándo desístere. Vult te benefícia sua mercári dum petis. Vult te assídue oratióne ætérna cómmoda negotiári. Vult te orándo accípere quod eius benígnitas desíderat impertíre. Quærit Dóminus occasiónes ut præstet, quærit áditus inveníre quibus hóminem quem díligit múneret. Quid enim oránti negatúrus est, qui ut orántis inténtio non defíciat præcéptis suis ádmonet et instígat?
Et ídeo quicúmque fidélis est implére quod Dóminus suádet totis víribus elabóret et hortaménta Dómini sui libénter admíttat. Consideráte, fratres, quanta glória attribúta sit oratióni: fabulári cum Deo, cum Christo míscere collóquia, Deum précibus detinére, quod desíderas percípere. Cum Deo, inquam, fabulári, quia etsi verbis silet, benefíciis respóndet. Te mærénte ille gaudet. Te dolénte ille lætus est. Libénter audit quod dolénter expóscis. Cleménter pérficit quod flétibus deprecáris. Non aspernátur quod petis. Non tædiat nisi forte tacúeris. Ad hoc enim tuis flétibus gaudet, ut in te áliquid dignum quod munerétur invéniat.
O quam magna est iugis orátio per quam semper virtútes factæ sunt, osténsa signa, mirabília demonstráta, amánda res per quam sancti profíciunt, per quam Dei ira repéllitur et indulgéntia provocátur. Orátio Deum facit esse præséntem. Neque enim fíeri potest ut nobis orántibus desit qui oráre nos dócuit. At précibus nostris negat auxílium qui precum insinuávit afféctum? Orátio iustum gloríficat, peccatórem absólvit, páuperem fovet, dívitem témperat, aufert metum tollítque tristítiam, in prósperis læta est, in malis secúra. Ipsa est consolátio mæréntium, sánitas ægrotórum.
r. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius; * Quia benígnus et miséricors est, præstábilis super malítiam Dóminus Deus noster. v. Non vult Dóminus mortem peccatóris, sed ut convertátur et vivat. * Quia benígnus. v. Glória Patri. * Quia benígnus.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Grátia tua ne nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, derelínquat, † quæ et sacræ nos déditos fáciat servitúti, * et tuam nobis opem semper acquírat. Per Dóminum.
May grace not forsake us, Lord, we pray Thou; may it dedicate us to Thy service and evermore obtain Thy assistance for us.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
