Hymnus
Hæc hora, quæ resplénduit crucísque solvit núbila, mundum tenébris éxuens, reddens seréna lúmina.
This hour shines forth
And dissolves the black clouds of the cross,
Rescues the world from darkness
And returns the light of peace.
Hæc hora, qua resúscitans Iesus sepúlcris córpora, prodíre mortis líbera iussit refúso spíritu.
This is the hour when Jesus
Raises the bodies from the tombs
And commands that they come forth free of death
And infused again with breath.
Nováta sæcla crédimus mortis solútis légibus, vitæ beátæ múnera cursum perénnem cúrrere.
We believe in a new world,
loosened from the laws of death,
the gifts of blessed life
running an eternal course.
Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui morte victa prænites, 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.
Ant. O quam pulchra est casta generátio cum claritáte (T. P. allelúia).

XIX (Coph)
Clamávi in toto corde, exáudi me, Dómine; * iustificatiónes tuas servábo.
I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications.
Clamávi ad te, salvum me fac, * ut custódiam testimónia tua.
I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments.
Prævéni dilúculo et clamávi, * in verba tua supersperávi.
I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped.
Prævenérunt óculi mei vigílias * ut meditárer elóquia tua.
My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words.
Vocem meam audi secúndum misericórdiam tuam, Dómine, * secúndum iudícium tuum vivífica me.
Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy judgment.
Appropinquavérunt persequéntes me in malítia, * a lege autem tua longe facti sunt.
They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from thy law.
Prope es tu, Dómine, * et ómnia præcépta tua véritas.
Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth.
Ab inítio cognóvi de testimóniis tuis, * quia in ætérnum fundásti ea.
I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Psalmus 93 (94)
Psalm 93 (94)
Dominus iustorum ultor
The Lord avenges the righteous
Vindex est Dominus de his omnibus: ...non enim vocavit nos Deus in immunditia, sed in sanctificatione (Cf. 1 Th 4, 6-7).
For God has not called us to impurity, but to sanctification. (Cf. 1 Thess 4:6-7).

Deus ultiónum, Dómine, *Deus ultiónum, effúlge.
God of vengeance, the Lord, God of vengeance, appear.
Exaltáre, qui iúdicas terram, *redde retributiónem supérbis.
Arise, judge of the earth, render unto the proud according to their works.
Usquequo peccatóres, Dómine, *úsquequo peccatóres exsultábunt?
How long will the wicked, the Lord, how long will the sinners triumph?
Effabúntur et loquéntur protérva, *gloriabúntur omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem.
They pour out arrogant speeches, they glorify themselves, all these artisans of iniquity.
Pópulum tuum, Dómine, humíliant *et hereditátem tuam vexant.
Lord, they crush Thy people, they oppress Thy inheritance.
Víduam et ádvenam interfíciunt *et pupíllos occídunt.
They slaughter the widow and the stranger, they massacre the orphans.
Et dixérunt: «Non vidébit Dóminus, *nec intélleget Deus Iacob» .
And they say, "The Lord does not behold, the God of Jacob does not take heed."
Intellégite, insipiéntes in pópulo, *et, stulti, quando sapiétis?
Understand, then, stupid children of the people, fools, when will thou hast intelligence?
Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet, *aut qui finxit óculum, non respíciet?
Would not the one who planted the ear hearken, and the one who formed behold it?
Qui córripit gentes, non árguet, *qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?
Would not he who chastises the nations punish him who teaches knowledge to men?
Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum *quóniam vanæ sunt.
The Lord knows the thoughts of men; He knoweth that they are vain.
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.

Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine, *et de lege tua docúeris eum,
Blessed is the man whom Thou instruct, O Lord, and to whom Thou teachest Thy law,
ut mítiges ei a diébus malis, *donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.
to appease him in the days of trouble, until such time as such time as the pit is dug for the fisherman.
Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam *et hereditátem suam non derelínquet.
For the Lord will not reject His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance.
Quia ad iustítiam revertétur iudícium, *et sequéntur illam omnes, qui recto sunt corde.
but the judgment will anon be in conformity with justice, and all men of right hearts will applaud it.
Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes, *aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem?
Who will rise up for me against the wicked, and who will sustain me against those who do iniquity?
Nisi quia Dóminus adiúvit me, *paulo minus habitásset in loco siléntii ánima mea.
If the Lord were not my help, my soul would soon dwell in the abode of silence.
Si dicébam: «Motus est pes meus» , *misericórdia tua, Dómine, sustentábat me.
When I say, "My foot is tottering," Thy goodness, the Lord, sustains me.
In multitúdine sollicitúdinum meárum in corde meo, *consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.
When anxieties stir in crowds in my thoughts, Thy consolations rejoice my soul.
Numquid sociábitur tibi sedes iniquitátis, *quæ fingit moléstiam contra præcéptum?
Has the tribunal of perdition, which does evil in legal forms, aught in common with Thou?
Irruunt in ánimam iusti *et sánguinem innocéntem condémnant.
They hasten against the life of the just, and they condemn innocent blood.
Et factus est mihi Dóminus in præsídium *et Deus meus in rupem refúgii mei;
But the Lord is my fortress, my God is the rock where I shelter;
et reddet illis iniquitátem ipsórum, † et in malítia eórum dispérdet eos, *dispérdet illos Dóminus Deus noster.
and He shall bring down their iniquity upon them, He shall destroy them by their own malice, He shall destroy them, the Lord our God.
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.

Lectio brevis (Ap 19, 6 b. 7)
Regnávit Dóminus, Deus noster omnípotens. Gaudeámus et exsultémus et demus glóriam ei, quia venérunt núptiæ Agni, et uxor eius præparávit se.
v. Invéni quem díligit ánima mea (T.P. allelúia). r. Ténui eum nec dimíttam.(T.P. allelúia).

Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.

Deus, qui beátam Catharínam, in contemplatióne domínicæ passiónis et in Ecclésiæ tuæ servítio, divíno amóre flagráre fecísti, † ipsíus intercessióne concéde, ut pópulus tuus, Christi mystério sociátus, * in eius glóriæ revelatióne semper exsúltet. Per Dóminum.
God, who inflamed Blessed Catherine with love by making her contemplate the Lord's Passion and by calling her unto the service of Thy Church; through his intercession, grant that Thy people may join in the mystery of Christ to rejoice forevermore in the revelation of His glory.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
