APERI, Dómine, os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus; intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Maiestátis tuæ. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. r. Amen.

Open my mouth, Lord, that it may bless Thy Holy Name, and cleanse my heart also from every vain, evil, and foreign thought. Enlighten my understanding, inflame my love, so that I may recite this office with respect, attention, and devotion, and merit to be heard in the presence of Thy divine majesty. Through Christ our Lord. r. Amen.

Psalmus 3

Psalm 3

Dominus protector meus

The Lord is my protector

Dormivit et somnum cepit et resurrexit, quoniam Dominus suscepit eum (S. Irenæus).

He lay down and fell asleep, and He rose again because the Lord sustained Him.

Dómine, quid multiplicáti sunt, qui tríbulant me? * Multi insúrgunt advérsum me,

O Lord, why are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.

multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * «Non est salus ipsi in Deo».

Many say to my soul: * “There is no salvation for him in his God.”

Tu autem, Dómine, protéctor meus es, * glória mea et exáltans caput meum.

But thou, O Lord, art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi, * et exaudívit me de monte sancto suo.

I have cried to the Lord with my voice, * and he hath heard me from his holy mountain.

Ego obdormívi et soporátus sum,> * exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.

I have slept and have taken my rest, * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.

Non timébo mília pópuli circumdántis me. * Exsúrge, Dómine, salvum me fac, Deus meus;

I will not fear thousands of the people that surround me. * Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

quóniam tu percussísti in maxíllam omnes adversántes mihi, * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.

For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause; * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

Dómini est salus, * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.

Salvation is of the Lord, * and thy blessing is upon thy people.

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.

Hymnus

Ætérne rex altíssime, redémptor et fidélium, quo mors solúta déperit, datur triúmphus grátiæ,

Scandis tribúnal déxteræ Patris tibíque cæ ́ litus fertur potéstas ómnium, quæ non erat humánitus,

Ut trina rerum máchina cæléstium, terréstrium et inferórum cóndita, flectat genu iam súbdita.

That so, in natures triple frame, Each heavenly and each earthly name, And things in hells abyss abhorred, May bend the knee and own Him Lord.

Tremunt vidéntes ángeli versam vicem mortálium; culpat caro, purgat caro, regnat caro Verbum Dei.

Tu, Christe, nostrum gáudium, manens perénne præ ́ mium, mundi regis qui fábricam, mundána vincens gáudia.

Hinc te precántes quæsumus, ignósce culpis ómnibus et corda sursum súbleva ad te supérna grátia,

To Thee we therefore humbly pray That Thou wouldst purge our sins away, And draw our hearts by cords of grace To Thy celestial dwelling-place.

Ut, cum rubénte cœperis clarére nube iúdicis, pœnas repéllas débitas, reddas corónas pérditas.

So when the Judgment day shall come, And all must rise to meet their doom, Thou wilt remit the debts we owe, And our lost crowns again bestow.

Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui scandis ad cæléstia, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sæ ́ cula. Amen.

Psalm 58 (59)

Adversus insurgentes oratio

Prayer against proud adversaries

Hæ voces Salvatoris pietatem erga Patrem suum omnes edoceant (Eusebius Cæsariensis).

These are the words of the Lord, who teaches everyone piety towards His Father (Eusebius of Caesarea).

Eripe me de inimícis meis, Deus meus, * et ab insurgéntibus in me prótege me.

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God, protect me from my adversaries.

Eripe me de operántibus iniquitátem * et de viris sánguinum salva me.

Deliver me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.

Quia ecce insidiáti sunt ánimæ meæ, * irruérunt in me fortes.

For behold, they are on the lookout to take my life; violent men are plotting against me.

Neque delíctum, neque peccátum in me est, Dómine; * sine iniquitáte mea currunt et præparántur.

Without my being guilty, without my having sinned, Lord, in spite of my innocence, they run and lie in ambush.

Exsúrge in occúrsum meum et vide; † fortitúdo mea, tibi atténdam; * quia, Deus, præsídium meum es.

Awake, come to meet me and behold; my strength, it is to Thou that I will behold, for God is my fortress.

[et tu, Dómine, Deus virtútum, Deus Israel, * evígila ad visitándas omnes gentes;

[Thou, Lord, God of hosts, God of Israel, arise to punish all nations,

non misereáris ómnibus, * qui infidéliter operántur.

Have no mercy on these traitors and malefactors!

Reverténtur ad vésperam et latrábunt ut canes * et circuíbunt civitátem.

They come back in the evening, they growl like a dog, they go around the city.

Ecce eructábunt ore suo, et gládius in lábiis eórum: * Quis enim audit?

Behold, their mouths vomit insult, there are swords on their lips: "Who is it that hears?" they say.

Et tu, Dómine, deridébis eos, * subsannábis omnes gentes.

And thou, Lord, laugh at them, mock all nations!

Fortitúdo mea, tibi atténdam, * quia, Deus, præsídium meum es.

My strength is to Thou that I will behold, for God is my fortress.

Deus meus, misericórdia eíus prævéniet me. * Deus fáciet, ut despíciam inimícos meos.

The God who is propitious unto me will come to meet me; God will make me contemplate my enemies.

[Ne óccidas eos, * ne quando obliviscátur pópulus meus;

[Kill not them, lest my people forget;

dispérge illos in virtúte tua et prostérne eos, * protéctor meus, Dómine.

make them wander by thy power and overthrow them, O Lord, our shield.

Peccátum oris eórum, sermo labiórum ipsórum, * et comprehendántur in supérbia sua.

Their mouths sin at every word of their lips; that they be caught up in their own pride,

Propter exsecratiónem et mendácium, * quod loquúntur,

forasmuch as of the curses and lies they speak!

consúme eos in furóre, consúme, et non erunt; * et scient quia Deus dominábitur Iácob et fínium terræ.

Destroy them in thy fury, destroy them, and let them be no more; let them know that God reigns over Jacob unto the ends of the earth!

Reverténtur ad vésperam et latrábunt ut canes et circuíbunt civitátem.

They return in the evening; they growl like a dog, they go round the city.

Ipsi errábunt ad manducándum; si vero non fúerint saturáti, murmurábunt. ]

They wander to and fro, looking for their prey, and they growl if they are not satisfied.]

Deus meus, misericórdia eius prævéniet me. * Deus fáciet ut despíciam inimícos meos.

My God, His mercy precedes me. God will cause me to contemplate the humiliation of my enemies.

Ego autem cantábo fortitúdinem tuam * et exsultábo mane misericórdiam tuam,

And I will sing of Thy strength, and in the morning I will praise Thy goodness,

quia factus es præsídium meum * et refúgium meum in die tribulatiónis meæ.

for Thou art my stronghold, a refuge in the day of my tribulation.

Fortitúdo mea, tibi psallam, † quia, Deus, præsídium meum es: * Deus meus misericórdia mea.

O my strength, I will sing in Thy honor, for God is my fortress, my God, my mercy.

Dominus fiducia iusti

The Lord, confidence of the righteous

Beati, qui esuriunt et sitiunt iustitiam, quoniam ipsi saturabuntur (Mt 5, 6).

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled (Mt 5:6).

In Dómino confído, quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * «Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?

In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow.

Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, † paravérunt sagíttas suas super nervum, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.

For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.

Quando fundaménta evertúntur, * iustus quid fáciat?».

For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?

Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus, in cælo sedes eius.

The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven.

Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt, * pálpebræ eius intérrogant fílios hóminum.

His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.

Dóminus intérrogat iustum et ímpium; * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánima eius.

The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.

Pluet super peccatóres carbónes; * ignis et sulphur et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.

He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.

Quóniam iustus Dóminus et iustítias diléxit, * recti vidébunt vultum eius.

Psalm 18

Laus Domini rerum conditoris

Praise to the Lord creator of all things

Visitavit nos Oriens ex alto...ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis (Lc 1,78.79)

The star from on high has come to visit us and guide our steps on the path of peace. (Lk 1, 78. 79).

Cæli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum eíus annúntiat firmaméntum.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.

Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.

Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.

Non sunt loquélæ neque sermónes, * quorum non intellegántur voces:

There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

in omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Soli pósuit tabernáculum in eis, † et ipse, tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo, * exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam.

He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:

A fínibus cælórum egréssio eíus, † et occúrsus eíus usque ad fines eórum, * nec est quod se abscóndat a calóre eíus.

His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.

Lex Dómini immaculáta, refíciens ánimam, * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.

The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.

Iustítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda, * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum, illúminans óculos.

The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.

Timor Dómini mundus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi; * iudícia Dómini vera, iústa ómnia simul,

The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.

desiderabília super aurum et lápidem pretiósum multum, * et dulcióra super mel et favum stillántem.

More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

Étenim servus tuus erudítur in eis; * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.

For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.

Erróres quis intéllegit? † Ab occúltis munda me * et a supérbia custódi servum tuum, ne dominétur mei,

Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: and from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me,

Tunc immaculátus ero * et emundábor a delícto máximo.

then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.

Sint ut compláceant elóquia oris mei, * et meditátio cordis mei in conspéctu tuo.

And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.

Vitam pétiit a te, et tribuísti ei, * longitúdinem diérum in sæculum et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Magna est glória eius in salutári tuo, * magnificéntiam et decórem impónes super eum;

Great is his glory, thanks to Thy help; Thou put on him splendor and magnificence.

quóniam pones eum benedictiónem in sǽculum sǽculi, * lætificábis eum in gáudio ante vultum tuum.

Thou makest it forevermore an object of blessings; Thou fill him with joy in front of thy face.

Quóniam rex sperat in Dómino * et in misericórdia Altíssimi non commovébitur.

Pones eos ut clíbanum ignis in témpore vultus tui: † Dóminus in ira sua deglútiet eos, * et devorábit eos ignis.

Thou shalt make them like a fiery furnace on the day when thou show thy face; the Lord will destroy them in His wrath, and fire will devour them.

Fructum eórum de terra perdes * et semen eórum de fíliis hóminum.

Thou shalt wipe out their seed from the earth, and their descendants from the children of men.

Quóniam intendérunt in te mala, * cogitavérunt consília: nihil potuérunt.

Quóniam pones eos dorsum, * arcus tuos tendes in vultum eórum.]

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Ephésios 4, 1-24

Lectio I

Fratres: Obsecro vos ego vinctus in Dómino, ut digne ambulétis vocatióne qua vocáti estis, cum omni humilitáte et mansuetúdine, cum longanimitáte, supportántes ínvicem in caritáte, sollíciti serváre unitátem spíritus in vínculo pacis; unum corpus et unus Spíritus, sicut et vocáti estis in una spe vocatiónis vestræ; unus Dóminus, una fides, unum baptísma; unus Deus et Pater ómnium, qui super omnes et per ómnia et in ómnibus. Unicuíque autem nostrum data est grátia secúndum mensúram donatiónis Christi. Propter quod dicit: Ascéndens in altum captívam duxit captivitátem, dedit dona homínibus. Illud autem ascéndit quid est, nisi quia et descéndit in inferióres partes terræ? Qui descéndit, ipse est et qui ascéndit super omnes cælos, ut impléret ómnia.

r. Ascéndens Christus in altum, allelúia, captívam duxit captivitátem; * Dedit dona homínibus, allelúia, allelúia. v. Ascéndit Deus in iubilatióne, et Dóminus in voce tubæ. * Dedit.

Lectio II

Et ipse dedit quosdam quidem apóstolos, quosdam autem prophétas, álios vero evangelístas, álios autem pastóres et doctóres ad instructiónem sanctórum in opus ministérii, in ædificatiónem córporis Christi, donec occurrámus omnes in unitátem fídei et agnitiónis Fílii Dei, in virum perféctum, in mensúram ætátis plenitúdinis Christi, ut iam non simus párvuli fluctuántes et circumácti omni vento doctrínæ in fallácia hóminum, in astútia ad circumventiónem erróris; veritátem autem faciéntes in caritáte crescámus in illum per ómnia, qui est caput Christus, ex quo totum corpus compáctum et conéxum per omnem iunctúram subministratiónis secúndum operatiónem in mensúra uniuscuiúsque partis augméntum córporis facit in ædificatiónem sui in caritáte.

r. Post passiónem suam, per dies quadragínta appárens eis, loquens de regno Dei; * Et, vidéntibus illis, elevátus est, et nubes suscépit eum ab óculis eórum, allelúia. v. Et convéscens præcépit eis ab Ierosólymis ne discéderent, sed exspectárent promissiónem Patris. * Et.

Lectio III

Hoc ígitur dico et testíficor in Dómino, ut iam non ambulétis sicut et gentes ámbulant in vanitáte sensus sui ténebris obscurátum habéntes intelléctum, alienáti a vita Dei propter ignorántiam quæ est in illis, propter cæcitátem cordis ipsórum; qui indoléntes semetípsos tradidérunt impudicítiæ in operatiónem immundítiæ omnis in avarítia.

r. Introdúxit vos Dóminus in loco sancto suo, et vídimus fontem aquæ fluéntem lac et mel, * Et obtúlimus primítias, allelúia, allelúia. v. Introívimus in tabernáculum eius, adorávimus in loco ubi stetérunt pedes eius. * Et obtúlimus.

Lectio IV

Vos autem non ita didicístis Christum, si tamen illum audístis et in ipso edócti estis, sicut est véritas in Iesu: depónere vos secúndum prístinam conversatiónem véterem hóminem, qui corrúmpitur secúndum desidéria erróris, renovári autem spíritu mentis vestræ et indúere novum hóminem, qui secúndum Deum creátus est in iustítia et sanctitáte veritátis.

r. Non relínquam vos órphanos, allelúia; vado et vénio ad vos; * Et gaudébit cor vestrum, allelúia, allelúia. v. Si enim non abíero, Paráclitus non véniet ad vos; si autem abíero, mittam vobis eum. * Et gaudébit. v. Glória Patri. * Et gaudébit.

O Lord our God, Thou didst hearken unto them, and thou wast a merciful God unto them, and hast punished them for their trespasses.

Psalmus 102

Psalm 102

Laus miserentis Domini

Praise to the merciful Lord

Per viscera misericordiæ Dei visitavit nos Oriens ex alto (cf. Lc 1,78).

Through the bowels of our God's mercy, the rising sun has visited us from above

Bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino, * et ómnia, quæ intra me sunt, nómini sancto eíus.

My soul, bless the Lord, and may all that is within me bless His holy Name.

Bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino * et noli oblivísci omnes retributiónes eíus.

My soul, bless the Lord, and never forget all His blessings.

Qui propitiátur ómnibus iniquitátibus tuis, * qui sanat omnes infirmitátes tuas;

It is He who forgives all thy iniquities, and heals all thy diseases.

qui rédimit de intéritu vitam tuam, * qui corónat te in misericórdia et miseratiónibus;

It is He who redeems thy life from death, who crowns thou with mercy and graces.

qui replet in bonis ætátem tuam: * renovábitur ut áquilæ iuvéntus tua.

It is He who fulfills thy desires by showering thou with goods; thy youth will be renewed like that of the eagle.

Fáciens iustítias Dóminus * et iudícium ómnibus iniúriam patiéntibus.

The Lord has mercy, and He doth justice to all those who suffer violence (an injustice).

Notas fecit vias suas Móysi, * fíliis Israel adinventiónes suas.

He made known His ways to Moses, (and) His will unto the children of Israel.

Miserátor et miséricors Dóminus, * longánimis et multæ misericórdiæ.

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, patient (slow to punish) and very (good) merciful.

Non in perpétuum conténdet * neque in ætérnum irascétur.

He shall not be perpetually angry, and will not threaten endlessly.

Non secúndum peccáta nostra fecit nobis * neque secúndum iniquitátes nostras retríbuit nobis.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor has He punished us according to our iniquities.

Quóniam, quantum exaltátur cælum a terra, * præváluit misericórdia eíus super timéntes eum;

For as much as heaven is exalted above the earth, so He hath established (corroborated) His mercy upon those who fear Him.

quantum distat ortus ab occidénte, * longe fecit a nobis iniquitátes nostras.

As far as the east is removed from the west, so much has He removed our iniquities from us.

Quómodo miserétur pater filiórum, * misértus est Dóminus timéntibus se.

As a father has compassion on His children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

Quóniam ipse cognóvit figméntum nostrum, * recordátus est quóniam pulvis sumus.

For He knoweth (Himself) what we are made of; He remembered that we are naught but dust.

Homo: sicut fenum dies eíus, * tamquam flos agri sic efflorébit.

The days of man pass like grass; it will bloom like the flower of the field.

Spirat ventus in illum, et non subsístet, * et non cognóscet eum ámplius locus eíus.

Let a breath pass over him/her, and he/she is (she) no more, and the place he/she used to occupy no longer recognizes him.

Misericórdia autem Dómini ab ætérno † et usque in ætérnum super timéntes eum; * et iustítia illíus in fílios filiórum,

But the Lord's mercy extends from eternity to eternity upon those who fear Him. And His righteousness is poured out upon the children of the children (sons of the sons)

in eos, qui servant testaméntum eíus * et mémores sunt mandatórum ipsíus ad faciéndum ea.

of those who keep His covenant, and keep in remembrance His precepts (commandments), to fulfill them.

Dóminus in cælo parávit sedem suam, * et regnum ipsíus ómnibus dominábitur.

The Lord has prepared His throne in heaven, and all things will be subject to His dominion.

Benedícite Dómino, omnes ángeli eíus, † poténtes virtúte, faciéntes verbum illíus * in audiéndo vocem sermónum eíus.

Bless the Lord, all of thee, His angels, who are mighty and strong (mighty in strength); who carry out His word, in obedience unto the voice of His commands.

Benedícite Dómino, omnes virtútes eíus, * minístri eíus, qui fácitis voluntátem eíus.

Bless the Lord, all of thee, His (heavenly) hosts; thou, His ministers, who do His will.

Benedícite Dómino, ómnia ópera eíus, † in omni loco dominatiónis eíus. * Bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino.

Bless the Lord, all of thee, His works, in all the places of His dominion. My soul, bless the Lord.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

In secundo nocturno, anno II )

Ex Sermónibus sancti Leónis Magni papæ (Sermo 60, 1-2: SC 74, 135-137)

Lectio I

Mors Christi multum discipulórum corda turbáverat et de supplício crucis, de emissióne spíritus, de exanimáti córporis sepultúra gravátis mæstitúdine méntibus quidam diffidéntiæ torpor obrépserat. Nam cum sanctæ mulíeres revolútum a monuménto lápidem, sepúlcrum córpore vácuum, et vivéntis Dómini testes ángelos nuntiárent, verba eárum apóstolis aliísque discípulis deliraméntis simília videbántur.

r. Tempus est ut revértar ad eum qui misit me, dicit Dóminus; nolíte contristári, nec turbétur cor vestrum; * Rogo pro vobis Patrem ut ipse vos custódiat, allelúia, allelúia. v. Nisi ego abíero, Paráclitus non véniet; dum assúmptus fúero, mittam vobis eum. * Rogo.

Lectio II

Quam útique hæsitatiónem humána infirmitáte mutántem, nequáquam permisísset Spíritus veritátis prædicatórum suórum inésse pectóribus, nisi illa trépida sollicitúdo et curiósa cunctátio nostræ fídei fundaménta iecísset. Nostris ígitur perturbatiónibus, nostrísque perículis in apóstolis consulebátur: nos in illis viris contra calúmnias impiórum, et contra terrénæ arguménta sapiéntiæ docebámur. Nos illórum instrúxit aspéctus, nos erudívit audítus, nos confirmávit attáctus. Grátias agámus divínæ dispensatióni et sanctórum Patrum necessáriæ tarditáti. Dubitátum est ab illis, ne dubitarétur a nobis.

r. Non conturbétur cor vestrum: ego vado ad Patrem; et, dum assúmptus fúero a vobis, mittam vobis, allelúia, * Spíritum veritátis, et gaudébit cor vestrum, allelúia. v. Ego rogábo Patrem, et álium Paráclitum dabit vobis. * Spíritum.

Lectio III

Non ergo ii dies, dilectíssimi, qui inter resurrectiónem Dómini ascensionémque fluxérunt, otióso transiére decúrsu; sed magna in his confirmáta sacraménta, magna sunt reveláta mystéria. In his metus diræ mortis aufértur, et non solum ánimæ, sed étiam carnis immortálitas declarátur. In his per insufflatiónem Dómini infúnditur apóstolis ómnibus Spíritus Sanctus; et beáto apóstolo Petro supra céteros, post regni claves, ovílis domínici cura mandátur.

r. Ascéndit Deus in iubilatióne, allelúia, * Et Dóminus in voce tubæ, allelúia, allelúia. v. Ascéndens Christus in altum, captívam duxit captivitátem. * Et Dóminus.

Lectio IV

In his diébus, duóbus discípulis tértius in via Dóminus comes iúngitur, et ad omnem nostræ ambiguitátis calíginem detergéndam, pavéntium ac trepidántium tárditas increpátur. Flammam fídei illumináta corda concípiunt; et quæ erant tépida, reseránte Scriptúras Dómino, efficiúntur ardéntia. In fractióne quoque panis convescéntium aperiúntur obtútus; multo felícius horum óculis patefáctis, quibus natúræ suæ manifestáta est glorificátio, quam illórum géneris nostri príncipum, quibus prævaricatiónis suæ est ingésta confúsio.

r. Ego rogábo Patrem, et álium Paráclitum dabit vobis, ut máneat vobíscum in ætérnum, * Spíritum veritátis, allelúia. v. Si enim non abíero, Paráclitus non véniet ad vos; si autem abíero, mittam vobis eum. * Spíritum. v. Glória Patri. * Spíritum.

Canticum Is 63, 1-5

Cantique Is 63, 1-5

Quis est iste, qui venit de Edom, * tinctis véstibus de Bosra?

What is He who comes from Edom, from Bosra, in His dyed garments?

Iste formósus in stola sua, * grádiens in multitúdine fortitúdinis suæ.

He is beautiful in His robe, and He steps forward with almighty strength.

« Sum ego qui loquor iustítiam, * potens ad salvándum. »

"I am He who professes justice, and I come to defend and to save."

Quare ergo rubrum est induméntum tuum * et vestiménta tua sicut calcántis in torculári?

Wherefore then is Thy robe red, and wherefore are Thy garments like the clothes of those who tread in the vat?

«Tórcular calcávi solus * et de géntibus non erat vir mecum;

"I was alone treading at the winepress, and no man of the peoples was with Me;

calcávi eos in furóre meo, * et conculcávi eos in ira mea.

I trampled them in My fury, and I crushed them in My wrath.

Et aspérsus est sanguis eórum super vestiménta mea, * et ómnia induménta mea inquinávi.

And their blood splashed on My robe, and I stained all My garments.

Dies enim ultiónis in corde meo, * annus redemptiónis meæ venit.

For the day of vengeance was in My heart, the year of My redemption has come.

Circumspéxi, et non erat auxiliátor; * mirátus sum, et non fuit qui adiuváret;

I looked around Me, and there was no one to help Me; I searched, and I found no help;

et salvávit mihi bráchium meum, * et indignátio mea ipsa auxiliáta est mihi.»

then My arm saved Me, and My very wrath came to My aid."

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.

Canticum Os 6, 1-6

Song of Hosea 6:1-6

Veníte, et revertámur ad Dóminum, quia ipse lacerávit et sanábit nos, * percússit et curábit nos.

Come, and let us return unto the Lord, for He hath taken us captive, and He shall deliver us; He hath wounded, and He shall heal us.

Vivificábit nos post duos dies, in die tértia suscitábit nos, * et vivémus in conspéctu eius.

He shall give us life after two days, and on the third day He shall raise us up, and we will live in His presence.

Sciámus sequamúrque, * ut cognoscámus Dóminum.

We will know, and we will follow the Lord, that we may know Him.

Quasi dilúculum præparátus est egréssus eius, et véniet quasi imber nobis temporáneus, * quasi imber serótinus írrigans terram.

His rising will be like the dawn, and He shall descend upon us like the rains of autumn and spring upon the earth.

«Quid fáciam tibi, Ephraim? Quid fáciam tibi, Iuda? Cáritas vestra quasi nubes matutína * et quasi ros mane pertránsiens.

What will I do unto thee, Ephraim? What will I do unto thee, Judah? Thy charity is like the morning cloud, and like the dew that dissipates in the morning.

Propter hoc dolávi per prophétas, occídi eos in verbis oris mei, * sed ius meum quasi lux egrediétur;

Wherefore I have struck them down by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments shall break forth like light.

quia caritátem volo et non sacrifícium, * et sciéntiam Dei plus quam holocáusta.»

For I want charity and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

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.

Canticum Soph 3, 8-18

Cantique Soph 3, 8-18

«Exspécta me, dicit Dóminus, in die qua surgam ut testis; * quia iudícium meum, ut cóngregem gentes et cólligam regna,

"Wait for Me, says the Lord, on the future day when I will arise; for I have resolved to gather the nations and unite the kingdoms,

ut effúndam super eas indignatiónem meam, * omnem iram furóris mei;

and to pour out upon them My indignation, all the fury of My wrath;

in igne enim zeli mei * devorábitur omnis terra.

for the whole earth will be devoured by the fire of My zeal.

Quia tunc reddam pópulis lábium purum, ut ínvocent omnes in nómine Dómini * et sérviant ei úmero uno.

Then I will give the peoples pure lips, so that all may call on the name of the Lord, and serve Him with one accord.

Ultra flúmina Æthiópiæ, inde súpplices mei, * fílii dispersórum meórum déferent munus mihi.

From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia shall come My worshippers; the sons of those whom I had scattered shall bring Me gifts.

In die illa non confúnderis super cunctis actiónibus tuis, * quibus prævaricáta es in me;

In that day thou shalt no longer be confused for all the criminal deeds by which thou hast offended Me;

quia tunc áuferam de médio tui magníloquos supérbos tuos, * et non adícies exaltári ámplius in monte sancto meo.

for then I will take away from amongst thou those who by their sumptuous words aroused thy pride, and thou shalt no longer be proud on My holy mountain.

Et derelínquam in médio tui * pópulum páuperem et egénum.»

I will leave in thy midst a people poor and small; and they will hope in the name of the Lord."

Et sperábunt in nómine Dómini * relíquiæ Israel.

The remnants of Israel will hope in the Name of the Lord.

Non fácient iniquitátem, nec loquéntur mendácium; * et non inveniétur in ore eórum lingua dolósa,

They shall not commit iniquity nor speak lies; no deceitful tongue shall be found in their mouths;

quóniam ipsi pascéntur et accubábunt, * et non erit qui extérreat.

but they will feed and rest, and no one will frighten them.

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthæum. 28, 16-20

In illo témpore: Undecim discípuli abiérunt in Galilæam, in montem ubi constitúerat illis Iesus. Et réliqua.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi (Sermo Mai 98, 1-2: PLS 2, 494-495)

Lectio I

Hodie Dóminus noster Iesus Christus ascéndit in cælum; ascéndat cum illo cor nostrum. Audiámus Apóstolum dicéntem: Si consurrexístis cum Christo, quæ sursum sunt sápite, ubi Christus est in déxtera Dei sedens; quæ sursum sunt qurite, non quæ super terram. Sicut enim ille ascéndit, nec recéssit a nobis, sic et nos cum illo ibi iam sumus, quamvis nondum in córpore nostro factum sit quod promíttitur nobis.

r. Ponis nubem ascénsum tuum, Dómine, * Qui ámbulas super pennas ventórum, allelúia. v. Qui facis ángelos tuos spíritus, et minístros tuos flammam ignis. * Qui ámbulas.

Lectio II

Ille iam exaltátus est super cælos; pátitur tamen in terris quidquid labórum nos tamquam eius membra sentímus. Cui rei testimónium perhíbuit désuper clamans: Saule, Saule, quid me perséqueris? Et: Esurívi, et dedístis mihi manducáre. Cur non étiam nos ita laborámus in terris, ut per fidem, spem, caritátem, qua illi conéctimur, iam cum illo requiescámus in cælis? Ille, cum ibi est, étiam nobíscum est; et nos, cum hic sumus, étiam cum illo sumus. Illud ipse et divinitáte et potestáte et dilectióne; hoc autem nos, etsi divinitáte non póssumus sicut ipse, dilectióne tamen póssumus, sed in ipsum.

r. Si enim non abíero, Paráclitus non véniet ad vos; si autem abíero, mittam vobis eum. * Cum autem vénerit ille, docébit vos omnem veritátem, allelúia. v. Non enim loquétur a semetípso, sed quæcúmque áudiet, loquétur, et quæ ventúra sunt, annuntiábit vobis. * Cum autem.

Lectio III

Ille de cælo non recéssit, cum ad nos inde descéndit; nec a nobis recéssit, cum in cælum rursus ascéndit. Nam quia ibi erat, cum hic esset, ita ipse testátur: Nemo, inquit, ascéndit in cælum, nisi qui de cælo descéndit, Fílius hóminis qui est in cælo. Hoc dictum est propter unitátem, quia caput nostrum est et nos corpus eius. Hoc ergo nemo, nisi ipse, quia et nos ipse, secúndum id quod ipse Fílius hóminis propter nos, et nos Dei fílii propter ipsum.

r. Viri Galilæi, quid admirámini aspiciéntes in cælum? Allelúia; * Quemádmodum vidístis eum ascendéntem in cælum, ita véniet, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia. v. Cumque intueréntur in cælum eúntem illum, ecce duo viri astitérunt iuxta illos in véstibus albis, qui et dixérunt: * Quemádmodum.

Lectio IV

Ita quippe Apóstolus dicit: Sicut enim corpus unum est, et membra habet multa; ómnia autem córporis membra, cum sint multa, unum est corpus, ita et Christus. Non ait: «Ita Christus», sed ait: Ita et Christus. Christus ergo membra multa, unum corpus. Descéndit ítaque de cælo per misericórdiam, nec ascéndit nisi ipse, cum et nos in ipso per grátiam. Ac per hoc non nisi Christus descéndit, nec nisi Christus ascéndit; non quod cápitis dígnitas confundátur in córpore, sed quod córporis únitas non separétur a cápite.

r. Omnis pulchritúdo Dómini exaltáta est super sídera, spécies eius in núbibus cæli, * Et nomen eius in ætérnum pérmanet, allelúia. v. Nisi ego abíero, Paráclitus non véniet; dum assúmptus fúero, mittam vobis eum. * Et nomen eius. v. Glória Patri. * Et nomen eius.

Te Deum laudámus : te Dóminum confitémur.

Te ætérnum Patrem, omnis terra venerátur.

Tibi omnes ángeli, tibi cæli et univérsæ potestátes :

tibi chérubim et séraphim, incessábili voce proclámant: "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra maiestátis glóriæ tuæ."

Te gloriósus Apostolórum chorus, te prophetárum laudábilis númerus, te mártyrum candidátus laudat exércitus.

Te per orbem terrárum sancta confitétur Ecclésia, Patrem imménsæ maiestátis;

venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;

Sanctum quoque Paráclitum Spíritum.

Tu rex glóriæ, Christe.

Tu Patris sempitérnus es Fílius. Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem,

non horruísti Vírginis úterum.

Tu, devícto mortis acúleo,

aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.

Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes, in glória Patris.

Iudex créderis esse ventúrus.

Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis subvéni, quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.

Ætérna fac cum sanctis tuis in glória numerári.

¶ Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.

Et rege eos, et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.

Per síngulos dies benedícimus te; et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Dignáre, Dómine, die isto sine peccáto nos custodíre.

Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri.

Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, quemádmodum sperávimus in te.

In te, Dómine, sperávi: non confúndar in ætérnum.

¶ Hæc ultima pars hymni ad libitum omitti potest.

Deinde abbas cantat evangelium de dominica currente, in cuius fine omnes respondent :

Then the abbot sang the Gospel [of Sunday] current, to which all respond at the end with:

r. Amen

r. Amen.

Conclúsio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum (28,16-20)

In illo tempore: Úndecim discípuli abiérunt in Galilǽam, in montem ubi constitúerat illis Iésus, et vidéntes eum adoravérunt; quidam autem dubitavérunt. Et accédens Iésus locútus est eis dicens: “Dáta est mihi omnis potéstas in cælo et in terra. Eúntes ergo docéte omnes gentes, baptizántes eos in nómine Patris et Fílii et Spíritus Sancti,docéntes eos serváre ómnia, quæcúmque mandávi vobis. Et ecce ego vobíscum sum ómnibus diébus usque ad consummatiónem sǽculi.
