Hic est dies verus Dei, sancto serénus lúmine, quo díluit sanguis sacer probrósa mundi crímina.

This truly is the day of God; His holy light shines bright today, When by his sacred blood, once shed, He washed the sins of men away.

Fidem refúndit pérditis cæcósque visu illúminat; quem non gravi solvit metu latrónis absolútio?

Bestowing faith upon the lost, Unto the blind he grants new sight; Has not his pardon of the thief Put all our mortal dread to flight?

Opus stupent et ángeli, pœnam vidéntes córporis Christóque adhæréntem reum vitam beátam cárpere.

The angels marvel at the sight: Though lowly and oppressed by strife, A guilty man may cling to Christ And thus attain the blessed life.

Mystérium mirábile, ut ábluat mundi luem, peccáta tollat ómnium carnis vítia mundans caro,

O wondrous mystery of grace! The sick are brought to health again; He takes away the sins of all, The crimes of flesh by flesh made clean.

Quid hoc potest sublímius, ut culpa quærat grátiam, metúmque solvat cáritas reddátque mors vitam novam?

What, then, could be more grand than this: That fault should lead to fuller grace, That charity should loose all fear, And death to life should cede its place?

Esto perénne méntibus paschále, Iesu, gáudium, et nos renátos grátiæ tuis triúmphis ággrega.

Lord Jesus, grant unto our souls Eternal paschal joy, we pray, And grant a share in victory To those reborn by grace today.

Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui morte victa prænites, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sæcula. Amen.

All glory, Jesus, be to you, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with you for evermore.

Psalmus 9 B (10)

Psalm 9 B (10)

Gratiarum actio

Thanksgiving

Beati pauperes, quia vestrum est regnum Dei. (Lc 6, 20)

Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Ut quid, Dómine, stas a longe, * abscóndis te in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?

Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?

Dum supérbit, ímpius inséquitur páuperem; * comprehendántur in consíliis, quæ cógitant.

Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.

Quóniam gloriátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ, * et avárus sibi benedícit.

For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.

Spernit Dóminum peccátor in arrogántia sua: * Non requíret, non est Deus."

The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:

Hæ sunt omnes cogitatiónes eius; * prosperántur viæ illíus in omni témpore.

God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times.

Excélsa nimis iudícia tua a fácie eius; * omnes inimícos suos aspernátur.

Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.

Dixit enim in corde suo: « Non movébor, * in generatiónem et generatiónem ero sine malo ».

For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.

Cuius maledictióne os plenum est et frauduléntia et dolo, * sub lingua eius labor et nequítia.

His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.

Sedet in insídiis ad vicos, * in occúltis intérficit innocéntem.

He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.

Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt. * Insidiátur in abscóndito quasi leo in spelúnca sua.

His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den.

Insidiátur, ut rápiat páuperem; * rapit páuperem, dum áttrahit in láqueum suum.

He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

Irruit et inclínat se, et míseri cadunt * in fortitúdine brachiórum eius.

In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.

Dixit enim in corde suo: « Oblítus est Deus; * avértit fáciem suam, non vidébit in finem ».

For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.

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.

Exsúrge, Dómine Deus; exálta manum tuam, * ne obliviscáris páuperum.

Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.

Propter quid spernit ímpius Deum? * Dixit enim in corde suo: "Non requíres".

Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.

Vidísti: † tu labórem et dolórem consíderas, * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.

Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.

Tibi derelíctus est pauper, * órphano tu factus es adiútor.

To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni; * quæres peccátum illíus et non invénies.

Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.

Dóminus rex in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi: * periérunt gentes de terra illíus.

The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.

Desidérium páuperum exaudísti, Dómine; * confirmábis cor eórum, inténdes aurem tuam

The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

iudicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra indúcere timórem homo de terra.

To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

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 11

Invocatio contra superbos

Invocation against the superb

Propter nos pauperes Pater Filium dignatus est mittere. (S. Augustinus)

For us poor, the Father deigned to send His Son (S. Augustine)

Salvum me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus, * quóniam deminúti sunt fidéles a fíliis hóminum.

Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum; * in lábiis dolósis, in dúplici corde locúti sunt.

They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa * et linguam magníloquam.

May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

Qui dixérunt: "Lingua nostra magnificábimur, † lábia nostra a nobis sunt; * quis noster dóminus est?"

Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?

"Propter misériam ínopum et gémitum páuperum, † nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus; * ponam in salutári illum, quem despíciunt."

By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.

Elóquia Dómini elóquia casta, * argéntum igne examinátum, separátum a terra, purgátum séptuplum.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.

Tu, Dómine, servábis nos et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.

Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

In circúitu ímpii ámbulant, * a cum exaltántur sordes inter fílios hóminum.

The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

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 Actibus Apostolórum 2, 1-21

Et cum complerétur dies Pentecóstes, erant omnes páriter in eódem loco. Et factus est repénte de cælo sonus tamquam adveniéntis spíritus veheméntis et replévit totam domum, ubi erant sedéntes. Et apparuérunt illis dispertítæ linguæ tamquam ignis, sedítque supra síngulos eórum; et repléti sunt omnes Spíritu Sancto et cœpérunt loqui áliis linguis, prout Spíritus dabat éloqui illis.

Erant autem in Ierúsalem habitántes Iudæi, viri religiósi ex omni natióne, quæ sub cælo est; facta autem hac voce, convénit multitúdo et confúsa est, quóniam audiébat unusquísque lingua sua illos loquéntes. Stupébant autem et mirabántur dicéntes: «Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquúntur, Galilæi sunt? Et quómodo nos audímus unusquísque própria lingua nostra in qua nati sumus? Parthi et Medi et Elamítæ, et qui hábitant Mesopotámiam, Iudæam quoque et Cappadóciam, Pontum et Asiam, Phrýgiam quoque et Pamphýliam, Ægýptum et partes Líbyæ, quæ est circa Cyrénem, et ádvenæ Románi, Iudæi quoque et prosélyti, Cretes et Arabes, audímus loquéntes eos nostris linguis magnália Dei.» Stupébant autem omnes et hæsitábant ad ínvicem dicéntes: «Quidnam hoc vult esse?» Alii autem irridéntes dicébant: «Musto pleni sunt isti.»

Stans autem Petrus cum Undecim levávit vocem suam et locútus est eis: «Viri Iudæi et, qui habitátis Ierúsalem univérsi, hoc vobis notum sit, et áuribus percípite verba mea. Non enim, sicut vos æstimátis, hi ébrii sunt, est enim hora diéi tértia, sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophétam Iœl: Et erit: in novíssimis diébus, dicit Deus, effúndam de Spíritu meo super omnem carnem, et prophetábunt fílii vestri et fíliæ vestræ, et iúvenes vestri visiónes vidébunt, et senióres vestri sómnia somniábunt; et quidem super servos meos et super ancíllas meas in diébus illis effúndam de Spíritu meo, et prophetábunt. Et dabo prodígia in cælo sursum et signa in terra deórsum, sánguinem et ignem et vapórem fumi; sol convertétur in ténebras et luna in sánguinem, ántequam véniat dies Dómini magnus et maniféstus. Et erit: omnis quicúmque invocáverit nomen Dómini, salvus erit.»

r. Et incípiens a Móyse et ómnibus prophétis, * Interpretabátur illis Scriptúras quæ de ipso erant, allelúia. v. O stulti et tardi corde ad credéndum in ómnibus quæ locúti sunt prophétæ! * Interpretabátur. v. Glória Patri. * Interpretabátur.

Ex Homilíis sancti Astérii Amaséni epíscopi (Hom. 19: PG 40, 434.435)

Lætétur nunc heres Ecclésia; illíus enim sponsus Christus post passiónem resurréxit. Luxit super patiénte, lætétur super resurgénte. O miráculum! Inférnus deglutívit Dóminum Christum, et non concóxit. Leo devorávit agnum, et in stómacho continére non pótuit. Mors absórpsit vitam, et náuseans vómuit étiam eos quos prius voráverat. Gigas moriéntem Christum portáre non váluit; mórtuus, formidábilis éxstitit gigánti, cum vivénte luctátus est, et a mórtuo victus cécidit. Unum granum seminátum fuit, ac totus mundus nutrítus est.

Tamquam homo iugulátus est, atque velut Deus vitam recépit, necnon vitam dedit orbi terrárum. Velut óstreum conculcátum est, et velut margaríta exornávit Ecclésiam. Sicut ovis mactátus est, et sicut pastor báculo, cruce, éxpulit dæmonum gregem. Ut lucérna super candelábrum cruce exstínctus est, atque ut sol exórtus est e sepúlcro. Vidére erat spectáculum duplex: Christo crucifíxo, dies ténebris obducebátur; eóque resurgénte, nox illuminabátur in morem diéi.

O nox die clárior! O nox sole splendídior! O nox nive candídior! O nox fácibus lucídior! O nox paradíso delectabílior! O nox a ténebris líbera! O nox quæ somnum pellis! O nox quæ vigiláre cum ángelis doces! O nox terríbilis dæmónibus! O nox desidérium anni! O nox prónuba Ecclésiæ! O nox recens baptísmo illuminatórum mater! O nox in qua dormítans diábolus nudátus est! O nox in qua heres in hereditátem introdúxit herédem!

In secundo nocturno Act 4, 10-11

Notum sit ómnibus vobis et omni plebi Israel quia in nómine Iesu Christi Nazaréni, quem vos crucifixístis, quem Deus suscitávit a mórtuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus. Hic est lapis, qui reprobátus est a vobis ædificatóribus, qui factus est in caput ánguli.
