De paréntis protoplásti fraude factor cóndolens, quando pomi noxiális morte morsu córruit, ipse lignum tunc notávit, damna ligni ut sólveret.

God, His Maker, sorely grieving That the first-made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit of sorrow, Whose reward was death and hell, Noted then this Wood, the ruin Of the ancient wood to quell.

Ant. 1.

Psalmus 36

Psalm 36

Sors malorum et iustorum

Fate of the evil-doers and the righteous

Beati mites, quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram (Mt 5,5)

Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.

Noli æmulári in malignántibus * neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem,

Envy not the wicked, nor be jealous of those who work iniquity;

quóniam tamquam fenum velóciter aréscent * et quemádmodum herba virens décident.

for they will wither as quickly as grass, and, like the stems of plants, they will wither quickly.

Spera in Dómino et fac bonitátem, * et inhabitábis terram et pascéris in fide.

Hope in the Lord, and do good; then thou shalt dwell on the earth and feed on its riches.

Delectáre in Dómino, * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.

Put thy delight in the Lord, and He shall grant thou what thy heart asks.

Commítte Dómino viam tuam et spera in eo, * et ipse fáciet;

Discover thy way unto the Lord, and hope in Him, and He Himself will act.

et edúcet quasi lumen iustítiam tuam * et iudícium tuum tamquam merídiem.

And He shall make thy righteousness shine forth like light, and thy righteousness like the sun at its noonday.

Quiésce in Dómino et exspécta eum; † noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua, * in hómine, qui mólitur insídias.

Be subject unto the Lord, and pray to Him. Envy not him who succeeds in his way, the man who commits injustices.

Désine ab ira et derelínque furórem, * noli æmulári, quod vertit ad malum,

Leave anger, and abandon fury; Don't have any desire, it would be wrong.

quóniam qui malignántur, exterminabúntur, * sustinéntes autem Dóminum ipsi hereditábunt terram.

For the wicked will be destroyed; but those who wait patiently for the Lord will have the earth as an inheritance.

Et adhuc pusíllum et non erit peccátor, * et quæres locum eíus et non invénies.

A little whilst longer, and the sinner will be no more; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.

Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.

But the meek will possess the earth, and they will delight in the abundance of peace.

Insidiábitur peccátor iústo * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.

The sinner will watch the righteous, and he shall gnash his teeth against him.

Dóminus autem irridébit eum, * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies eíus.

But the Lord will laugh at him, forasmuch as he seeth that His day will come.

Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres, * intendérunt arcum suum,

Sinners have drawn the sword, they have drawn their bows,

ut deíciant páuperem et ínopem, * ut trucídent recte ambulántes in via.

to overthrow the poor and the needy, to slaughter those who have an upright heart.

Gládius eórum intrábit in corda ipsórum, * et arcus eórum confringétur.

Let their sword pierce their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.

Mélius est módicum iústo * super divítias peccatórum multas,

Better the little of the righteous than the great riches of sinners;

quóniam bráchia peccatórum conteréntur, * confírmat autem iústos Dóminus.

for the arms of sinners will be broken, but the Lord strengthens the righteous.

Novit Dóminus dies immaculatórum, * et heréditas eórum in ætérnum erit.

The Lord knows the days of unblemished men, and their inheritance will be eternal.

Non confundéntur in témpore malo * et in diébus famis saturabúntur.

They will not be put to shame in the time of trouble, and in the days of famine they will be filled,

Quia peccatóres períbunt, † inimíci vero Dómini ut decor campórum defícient, * quemádmodum fumus defícient.

forasmuch as sinners will perish. But no sooner have the enemies of the Lord been honored and exalted, than they will fall and vanish like smoke.

Mutuátur peccátor et non solvet, * iústus autem miserétur et tríbuet.

The sinner will borrow and not pay; * But the righteous is compassionate and gives.

Quia benedícti eíus hereditábunt terram, * maledícti autem eíus exterminabúntur.

For those who bless God will possess the earth; but those who curse Him will perish.

A Dómino gressus hóminis confirmántur, * et viam eíus volet.

Man's steps will be directed by the Lord, and he shall delight in His way.

Cum cecíderit, non collidétur, * quia Dóminus susténtat manum eíus.

When it falleth, it will not break, for the Lord supports it with His hand.

Iúnior fui et sénui † et non vidi iústum derelíctum * nec semen eíus quærens panem.

I have been young, and I have grown old; but I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his race begging for bread.

Tota die miserétur et cómmodat, * et semen illíus in benedictióne erit.

All day long he is compassionate and lending, and his race will be blessed.

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 Ieremíæ prophétæ

Congregans congregábo eos, ait Dóminus; non est uva in vítibus et non sunt ficus in ficúlnea, fólium deflúxit, et dabo eis gradiéntes super eos. - "Quare sedémus? Conveníte et ingrediámur civitátes munítas et pereámus ibi, quia Dóminus Deus noster trádidit nos in intéritum et potum dedit nobis aquam fellis; peccávimus enim Dómino. Exspectávimus pacem, et non est bonum, tempus medélæ, et ecce formído." A Dan audítus est frémitus equórum eius, a voce hinnítuum fórtium equórum eius commóta est omnis terra; et vénient et devorábunt terram et plenitúdinem eius, urbem et habitatóres eius. Quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpéntes régulos quibus non est incantátio, et mordébunt vos ", ait Dóminus.

Hiláritas mea facta est dolor in me, cor meum mærens. Ecce vox clamóris fíliæ pópuli mei de terra longínqua: " Numquid Dóminus non est in Sion? Aut rex eius non est in ea? " " Quare ergo me ad iracúndiam concitavérunt in sculptílibus suis et in vanitátibus aliénis? " " Tránsiit messis, finíta est æstas, et nos salváti non sumus. " Super contritióne fíliæ pópuli mei contrítus sum et contristátus; stupor obtínuit me. Numquid resína non est in Gálaad? Aut médicus non est ibi? Quare enim non est obdúcta cicátrix fíliæ pópuli mei? Quis dabit cápiti meo aquam et óculis meis fontem lacrimárum, et plorábo die ac nocte interféctos fíliæ pópuli mei?

Quis dabit mihi in solitúdine deversórium viatórum, et derelínquam pópulum meum et recédam ab eis? Quia omnes adúlteri sunt, cœtus prævaricatórum. " Et tendérunt linguam suam quasi arcum; mendácium, et non véritas, inváluit in terra, quia de malo ad malum egréssi sunt et me non cognovérunt, dicit Dóminus. Unusquísque se a próximo suo custódiat et in omni fratre suo non hábeat fidúciam, quia omnis frater supplántat, et omnis amícus fraudulénter incédit, et vir fratrem suum décipit, et veritátem non loquúntur; docuérunt enim linguam suam loqui mendácium, iníque egérunt, noluérunt convérti. Iniúria super iniúriam, dolus super dolum. Renuérunt scire me ", dicit Dóminus. Proptérea hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: " Ecce ego conflábo et probábo eos; quid enim áliud fáciam fíliæ pópuli mei? Sagítta vúlnerans lingua eórum; dolum locúta est in ore suo: pacem cum amíco suo lóquitur et occúlte ponit ei insídias. Numquid super his non visitábo eos, dicit Dóminus, aut in gente huiúsmodi non ulciscétur ánima mea? "

r. Contumélias et terróres passus sum ab eis qui erant pacífici mei, et custodiéntes latus meum, * Dicéntes: Decipiámus eum et prævaleámus illi! Sed tu, Dómine, mecum es tamquam bellátor fortis. Cadent in oppróbrium sempitérnum. Et vídeam vindíctam in eis, quia tibi revelávi causam meam. v. Omnes inimíci mei advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi, verbum iníquuum mandavérunt advérsum me. * Dicéntes. v. Glória Patri. * Dicéntes.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Tractátu sancti Cypriáni epíscopi et mártyris De bono patiéntiæ (Nn. 6-7: SC 291, 194-200)

Iesus Christus Dóminus et Deus noster, qui ad hoc descendísse se díxerat ut voluntátem Patris fáceret, inter cétera mirabília virtútum quibus indícia divínæ maiestátis expréssit patérnam quoque patiéntiam tolerántiæ tenóre servávit. Omnis dénique actus eius ab ipso statim advéntu patiéntia cómite signátur, quod primum de illa sublimitáte cælésti ad terréna descéndens non aspernátur Dei Fílius carnem hóminis indúere et cum peccátor ipse non esset aliéna peccáta portáre; immortalitáte ínterim pósita fíeri se mortálem pátitur ut ínnocens pro nocéntium salúte perimátur. Dóminus baptizátur a servo et remíssam peccatórum datúrus ipse non dedignátur lavácro regeneratiónis corpus ablúere. Diébus quadragínta ieiúnat per quem céteri saginántur; ésurit et famem sentit ut qui in fame sermónis et grátiæ fúerant cælésti pane saturéntur.

Cum diábolo tentánte congréditur et inimícum tantum vicísse conténtus nihil ultra verba conátur. Discípulis non ut servis domínica potestáte prfuit, sed benígnus et mitis fratérna eos caritáte diléxit, dignátus étiam pedes apostolórum laváre, ut dum circa servos talis est Dóminus exémplo suo docéret qualis circa cómpares et æquáles débeat esse consérvus. Nec mirándum quod circa obœdiéntes talis exstíterit qui Iudam pótuit usque ad extrémum longa patiéntia sustinére, cibum cum inimíco cápere, hostem domésticum scire nec palam osténdere, traditóris ósculum non recusáre. In Iudæis vero tolerándis æquanímitas quanta et quanta patiéntia! Incrédulos ad fidem suadéndo fléctere, obséquio ingrátos fovére, contradicéntibus respondére léniter, supérbos sustinére cleménter, humíliter persequéntibus cédere, prophetárum interfectóres et advérsus Deum semper rebélles, usque ad crucis et passiónis horam velle collígere!

Sub ipsa autem passióne et cruce, priúsquam ad crudelitátem necis et effusiónem sánguinis venirétur, quæ conviciórum probra patiénter audíta, quæ contumeliárum toleráta ludíbria, ut insultántium sputámina excíperet, qui sputo suo cæci óculos paulo ante formásset et cuius nómine a servis nunc eius diábolus cum ángelis suis flagellátur flagélla ipse paterétur, coronarétur spinis qui mártyres flóribus corónat ætérnis, palmis in fáciem verberarétur qui palmas veras vincéntibus tríbuit, spoliarétur veste terréna qui induménto immortalitátis céteros vestit, cibarétur felle qui cibum cæléstem dedit, acéto potarétur qui salutári póculo propinávit. Ille ínnocens, ille iustus, immo innocéntia ipse et ipse iustítia inter facinorósos deputátur et testimóniis falsis véritas prémitur, iudicátur iudicatúrus et Dei sermo ad víctimam tacens dúcitur.

r. Dóminus mecum est tamquam bellátor fortis; proptérea persecúti sunt me, et intellégere non potuérunt. * Dómine, probans renes et corda, tibi revelávi causam meam. v. Et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam, et qui inquirébant mala mihi locúti sunt vanitátes. * Dómine. v. Glória Patri. * Dómine.

Orémus.

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, † da nobis ita domínicæ passiónis sacraménta perágere, * ut indulgéntiam percípere mereámur. Per Dóminum.

Eternal and almighty God, help us to celebrate the mysteries of the Lord's passion in such a way that we may obtain forgiveness.
