Hymnus

Lætáre, cælum, désuper, appláude, tellus ac mare: Christus resúrgens post crucem vitam dedit mortálibus.

Iam tempus accéptum redit, dies salútis cérnitur, quo mundus Agni sánguine refúlsit a calígine.

Mors illa, mortis pássio, est críminis remíssio; illæ ́ sa virtus pérmanet, victus dedit victóriam.

Nostræ fuit gustus spei hic, ut fidéles créderent se posse post resúrgere, vitam beátam súmere.

Nunc ergo pascha cándidum causa bonórum tálium colámus omnes strénue tanto repléti múnere.

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 prǽnites, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sǽcula. 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 67

Psalm 67

Triumphalis ingressus Domini

The Lord's triumphal entry

Ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivatem, dedit dona hominibus (Eph 4,8).

Having ascended on high, He led captivity captive, He gave gifts to men.

Exsúrgit Deus, et dissipántur inimíci eíus; * et fúgiunt, qui odérunt eum, a fácie eíus.

May God arise, and let His enemies be dispelled, and let them flee, those who hate Him, before His face.

Sicut dissipátur fumus, tu díssipas; † sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, * sic péreunt peccatóres a fácie Dei.

As the smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts before fire, so do sinners perish before the face of God.

Et iústi læténtur et exsúltent in conspéctu Dei * et delecténtur in lætítia.

But let the righteous be as in a feast, and let them tremble in the presence of God, and let them be in transports of joy.

Cantáte Deo, psalmum dícite nómini eíus; † iter fácite ei, qui fertur super nubes: * Dóminus nomen illi.

Sing to God, praise His Name with a song; make way for Him who ascends unto the west. The Lord is His Name.

Iubiláte in conspéctu eíus; †pater orphanórum et iúdex viduárum, * Deus in habitáculo sancto suo.

Leap for joy in His presence. We will tremble before Him. He is the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in His holy place.

Deus, qui inhabitáre facit desolátos in domo, † qui edúcit vinctos in prosperitátem; * verúmtamen rebélles habitábunt in árida terra.

It is the God who causes those who have the same spirit to dwell in the same house; who delivers the captives by His power, as well as those who anger Him, who dwell in the tombs.

Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto, terra mota est,

O God, when Thou walkedst at the head of Thy people, when Thou crossed the desert,

étiam cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israel.

the earth was shaken, the heavens themselves melted before the God of Sinai, before the God of Israel.

Plúviam voluntáriam effundébas, Deus; * hereditátem tuam infirmátam, tu refecísti eam.

Thou hast set up a voluntary rain, O God, for Thy inheritance; and when he was weakened, Thou comforted him.

Animália tua habitábant in ea, * parásti in bonitáte tua páuperi, Deus.

Thy animals will dwell there: Thou hast in Thy goodness, O God, prepared food for the poor.

Dóminus dat verbum; * vírgines annuntiántes bona sunt agmen ingens:

The Lord gives His commands to His messengers with great power.

“Reges exercítuum fúgiunt, fúgiunt, * et spécies domus dívidit spólia.

The kings of armies flee, will flee; and she who is the ornament of the house divides the spoils.

Et vos dormítis inter médias caulas: * alæ colúmbæ nitent argénto, et pennæ eíus pallóre auri.

When thou sleep in the midst of thy inheritances, the dove's wings are silver, and the end of its back has the pale lustre of gold.

Dum dispérgit Omnípotens reges super eam, * nive dealbátur Selmon.”

When the Most High scatters the kings in the land, all is whitened by the snows on the Selmon.

Mons Dei mons Basan, * mons cacúminum mons Basan.

The mountain of God is a fat mountain. It's a massive mountain, a fat mountain.

Ut quid invidétis, montes cacúminum, † monti, in quo beneplácitum est Deo inhabitáre? * Étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.

Wherefore do thou behold in awe at the massive mountains? There is a mountain where it hath pleased God to dwell; and the Lord will dwell there forevermore.

Currus Dei decem mília mílium: * Dóminus venit de Sínai in sancta.

The chariot of God is surrounded by more than ten thousand; the Lord comes from Sinai into His sanctuary.

Ascendísti in altum, captívam duxísti captivitátem; † accepísti in donum hómines, * ut étiam rebélles hábitent apud Dóminum Deum.

Thou hast ascended unto the top; Thou hast taken captives; Thou hast received gifts from men, even from those who do not believe that the Lord God dwells with us.

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.

De Actibus Apostolórum

Saulus, adhuc spirans minárum et cædis in discípulos Dómini, accéssit ad príncipem sacerdótum et pétiit ab eo epístulas in Damáscum ad synagógas, ut si quos invenísset huius viæ, viros ac mulíeres, vinctos perdúceret in Ierúsalem. Et cum iter fáceret, cóntigit ut appropinquáret Damásco, et súbito circumfúlsit eum lux de cælo, et cadens in terram audívit vocem dicéntem sibi: " Saul Saul, quid me perséqueris? " Qui dixit: " Quis es, Dómine? " Et ille: " Ego sum Iesus, quem tu perséqueris! Sed surge et ingrédere civitátem, et dicétur tibi quid te opórteat fácere. "

Viri autem illi qui comitabántur cum eo, stabant stupefácti, audiéntes quidem vocem, néminem autem vidéntes. Surréxit autem Saulus de terra apertísque óculis nihil vidébat; ad manus autem illum trahéntes introduxérunt Damáscum. Et erat tribus diébus non videns et non manducávit neque bibit.

Erat autem quidam discípulus Damásci nómine Ananías, et dixit ad illum in visu Dóminus: " Ananía. " At ille ait: " Ecce ego, Dómine. " Et Dóminus ad illum: " Surgens vade in vicum qui vocátur Rectus, et quære in domo Iudæ Saulum nómine Tarsénsem; ecce enim orat et vidit virum Ananíam nómine intrœúntem et imponéntem sibi manus, ut visum recípiat. " Respóndit autem Ananías: " Dómine, audívi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala sanctis tuis fécerit in Ierúsalem; et hic habet potestátem a princípibus sacerdótum alligándi omnes qui ínvocant nomen tuum. " Dixit autem ad eum Dóminus: " Vade, quóniam vas electiónis est mihi iste, ut portet nomen meum coram géntibus et régibus et fíliis Israel; ego enim osténdam illi quanta opórteat eum pro nómine meo pati. " Et ábiit Ananías et introívit in domum et impónens ei manus dixit: " Saul frater, Dóminus misit me, Iesus qui appáruit tibi in via qua veniébas, ut vídeas et impleáris Spíritu Sancto. " Et conféstim cecidérunt ab óculis eius tamquam squamæ, et visum recépit. Et surgens baptizátus est et, cum accepísset cibum, confortátus est.

Fuit autem cum discípulis qui erant Damásci, per dies áliquot et contínuo in synagógis prædicábat Iesum, quóniam hic est Fílius Dei. Stupébant autem omnes qui audiébant et dicébant: " Nonne hic est qui expugnábat in Ierúsalem eos qui invocábant nomen istud, et huc ad hoc vénerat, ut vinctos illos dúceret ad príncipes sacerdótum? " Saulus autem magis convalescébat et confundébat Iudæos qui habitábant Damásci, affírmans quóniam hic est Christus.

r. Grátia Dei sum id quod sum, * Et grátia eius in me vácua non fuit, sed semper in me manet, allelúia, allelúia. v. Qui operátus est Petro in apostolátum, operátus est et mihi inter gentes. * Et grátia eius. v. Glória Patri. * Et grátia eius.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Apológia prima sancti Iustíni mártyris pro Christiánis (Cc. 66-67: PG 6, 427-431)

Eucharistíæ némini licet esse párticeps, nisi qui credat vera esse quæ docémus, atque illo ad remissiónem peccatórum et regeneratiónem lavácro ablútus fúerit, et ita vivat ut Christus trádidit. Neque enim ut commúnem panem, neque ut commúnem potum ista súmimus; sed quemádmodum per Verbum Dei caro factus Iesus Christus salvátor noster et carnem et sánguinem hábuit nostræ salútis causa; sic étiam illam, in qua per precem, ipsíus verba continéntem, grátiæ actæ sunt, alimóniam, ex qua sanguis et carnes nostræ per mutatiónem alúntur, incarnáti illíus Iesu et carnem et sánguinem esse edócti sumus.

Nam apóstoli, in commentáriis suis quæ vocántur evangélia, ita sibi mandásse Iesum tradidérunt: eum scílicet, accépto pane, cum grátias egísset, dixísse: Hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem. Hoc est corpus meum; et póculo simíliter accépto, actísque grátiis, dixísse: Hic est sanguis meus, ipsísque solis tradidísse. Ex illo témpore hæc semper nobis ínvicem in memóriam revocámus; et qui habémus, indigéntibus ómnibus subvenímus, et semper una sumus. Atque in ómnibus oblatiónibus laudámus creatórem ómnium per Fílium eius Iesum Christum et per Spíritum Sanctum.

Ac solis, ut dícitur, die, ómnium sive urbes sive agros incoléntium in eúmdem locum fit convéntus, et commentária apostolórum aut scripta prophetárum legúntur, quoad licet per tempus. Póstea omnes simul consúrgimus, et preces emíttimus; atque, ut iam díximus, ubi desíimus precári, panis affértur et vinum et aqua; et qui præest, preces et gratiárum actiónes totis víribus emíttit, et pópulus ácclamat: Amen, et eórum in quibus grátiæ actæ sunt, distribútio fit et communicátio unicuíque præséntium, et abséntibus per diáconos míttitur. Die autem solis omnes simul convenímus, tum quia prima hæc dies est, qua Deus, cum ténebras et matériam vertísset, mundum creávit, tum quia Iesus Christus salvátor noster eádem die ex mórtuis resurréxit.

r. Nonne cor nostrum ardens erat in nobis de Iesu, dum loquerétur nobis in via et aperíret Scriptúras? * Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Et surgéntes eádem hora, regréssi sunt in Ierúsalem, et invenérunt congregátos úndecim, et eos qui cum ipsis erant, dicéntes: * Allelúia. v. Glória Patri. * Allelúia.

Orémus.

Deus, qui renátis ex aqua et Spíritu Sancto cæléstis regni pandis intróitum, † auge super fámulos tuos grátiam quam dedísti, * ut, qui ab ómnibus sunt purgáti peccátis, nullis privéntur tua pietáte promíssis. Per Dóminum.

O God, who opens the way unto the celestial kingdom to those who are reborn of water and of the Holy Spirit, increase in Thy servants the grace Thou hast given them, so that those who have been washed away from all their sins may not be deprived of any of Thy promises, by Thy goodness.
