Ad invitatorium

Warning: the monastic cursus is still under construction. There may still be many errors.

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.

Ter dicitur:

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.

Maiestas Domini et dignitas hominis

Majesty of the Lord, and dignity of man

Omnia subiecit sub pedibus eius, et ipsum dedit caput supra omnia Ecclesiæ (Eph 1, 22).

God subjected everything to Him, and, placing Him above all, made Him the head of the Church (Eph 1:22).

Dómine, Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra,

O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!

quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua * super cælos.

For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

Ex ore infántium et lactántium † perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

Quando vídeo cælos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum, * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti,

For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.

quid est homo, quod memor es eius, * aut fílius hóminis quóniam vísitas eum?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

Minuísti eum paulo minus ab ángelis, † glória et honóre coronásti eum * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: and hast set him over the works of thy hands.

Omnia subiecísti sub pédibus eius, † oves et boves univérsas, * ínsuper et pécora campi,

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

vólucres cæli et pisces maris, * quæcúmque perámbulant sémitas maris.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.

Psalmus 18

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.

Dómine, adiútor meus * et redémptor meus.

O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.

Domini in templum adventus

The advent of God in the Temple

Christo apertæ sunt portæ cæli propter carnalem eius assumptionem (S. Irenæus).

Dómini est terra et plenitúdo eius, * orbis terrárum et qui hábitant in eo.

Unto the Lord is the earth and all that is in it, the world and all those who inhabit it.

Quia ipse super mária fundávit eum * et super flúmina firmávit eum.

Quis ascéndet in montem Dómini, * aut quis stabit in loco sancto eius?

Who will go up on the mountain of the Lord, or who will stand in his holy place?

Innocens mánibus et mundo corde, † qui non levávit ad vana ánimam suam, * nec iurávit in dolum.

He who has innocent hands and a pure heart, who has not given up his soul to vanity, nor made a deceitful oath to his neighbor.

Hic accípiet benedictiónem a Dómino * et iustificatiónem a Deo salutári suo.

He shall receive the blessing of the Lord, and the mercy of God, his Savior.

Hæc est generátio quæréntium eum, * quæréntium fáciem Dei Iacob.

Such is the race of those who seek him, of those who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Attóllite, portæ, cápita vestra, † et elevámini, portæ æternáles, * et introíbit rex glóriæ.

Lift up thy gates, O princes, and lift yourselves up, eternal gates, and the king of glory will enter.

Laus Domini providentis

Omnia per ipsum facta sunt (Io 1, 3).

Everything is made by Him (Io 1, 3).

Exsultáte, iusti, in Dómino; * rectos decet collaudátio.

Righteous, rejoice in the Lord; To upright men befits praise.

Confitémini Dómino in cíthara, * in psaltério decem chordárum psállite illi.

Praise the Lord with the harp, sing Him on the ten-stringed lute.

Cantáte ei cánticum novum, * bene psállite ei in vociferatióne,

quia rectum est verbum Dómini, * et ómnia ópera eius in fide.

For the word of the Lord is right, and all His works are done in faithfulness.

Díligit iustítiam et iudícium; * misericórdia Dómini plena est terra.

He loveth justice and righteousness; the earth is filled with the goodness of the Lord.

Verbo Dómini cæli facti sunt, * et spíritu oris eius omnis virtus eórum.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth.

Cóngregans sicut in utre aquas maris, * ponens in thesáuris abyssos.

Quóniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt, * ipse mandávit, et creáta sunt.

Dóminus díssipat consília géntium, * írritas facit cogitatiónes populórum.

The Lord overturns the designs of the nations; It reduces to naught the thoughts of the people.

Consílium autem Dómini in ætérnum manet, * cogitatiónes cordis eius in generatióne et generatiónem.

Beáta gens, cui Dóminus est Deus, * pópulus, quem elégit in hereditátem sibi.

De loco habitáculi sui respéxit * super omnes, qui hábitant terram,

From the place of His dwelling place, He watches all the inhabitants of the earth,

qui finxit singillátim corda eórum, * qui intéllegit ómnia ópera eórum.

Non salvátur rex per multam virtútem, * et gigas non liberábitur in multitúdine virtútis suæ.

Fallax equus ad salútem, * in abundántia autem virtútis suæ non salvábit.

The horse is powerless to procure salvation, and all its vigor does not assure deliverance.

Ecce óculi Dómini super metuéntes eum, * in eos, qui sperant super misericórdia eius,

ut éruat a morte ánimas eórum * et alat eos in fame.

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios

Lectio I

Ego, cum veníssem ad vos, fratres, veni non per sublimitátem sermónis aut sapiéntiæ annúntians vobis mystérium Dei. Non enim iudicávi scire me áliquid inter vos nisi Iesum Christum et hunc crucifíxum. Et ego in infirmitáte et timóre et tremóre multo fui apud vos, et sermo meus et prædicátio mea non in persuasibílibus sapiéntiæ verbis, sed in ostensióne Spíritus et virtútis, ut fides vestra non sit in sapiéntia hóminum sed in virtúte Dei.

r. Benedícat nos Deus, Deus noster, benedícat nos Deus, * Et métuant eum omnes fines terræ. v. Deus misereátur nostri, et benedícat nos Deus, * Et.

Lectio II

Sapiéntiam autem lóquimur inter perféctos, sapiéntiam vero non huius sæculi neque príncipum huius sæculi, qui destruúntur, sed lóquimur Dei sapiéntiam in mystério, quæ abscóndita est, quam prædestinávit Deus ante sæcula in glóriam nostram, quam nemo príncipum huius sæculi cognóvit; si enim cognovíssent, numquam Dóminum glóriæ crucifixíssent. Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod óculus non vidit, nec auris audívit, nec in cor hóminis ascéndit, quæ præparávit Deus his, qui díligunt illum.

r. Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israel, qui facis mirabília solus; * Et benedíctum nomen maiestátis eius in ætérnum. v. Replébitur maiestáte eius omnis terra: fiat, fiat. * Et benedíctum.

Lectio III

Nobis autem revelávit Deus per Spíritum; Spíritus enim ómnia scrutátur, étiam profúnda Dei. Quis enim scit hóminum, quæ sint hóminis, nisi spíritus hóminis, qui in ipso est? Ita et, quæ Dei sunt, nemo cognóvit nisi Spíritus Dei. Nos autem non spíritum mundi accépimus, sed Spíritum, qui ex Deo est, ut sciámus, quæ a Deo donáta sunt nobis; quæ et lóquimur non in doctis humánæ sapiéntiæ, sed in doctis Spíritus verbis, spiritálibus spiritália comparántes.

r. Quis deus magnus sicut Deus noster? * Tu es Deus qui facis mirabília. v. Notam fecísti in pópulis virtútem tuam, redemísti in bráchio tuo pópulum tuum. * Tu es.

Lectio IV

Animális autem homo non pércipit, quæ sunt Spíritus Dei, stultítia enim sunt illi, et non potest intellégere, quia spiritáliter examinántur; spiritális autem iúdicat ómnia, et ipse a némine iudicátur. Quis enim cognóvit sensum Dómini, qui ínstruat eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habémus.

r. Magnus Dóminus et magna virtus eius, * Et sapiéntiæ eius non est númerus. v. Magnus Dóminus et laudábilis nimis, et magnitúdinis eius non est finis. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Tractátu sancti Basílii Magni epíscopi De Spíritu Sancto (Cap. 18, 46-47: PG 32, 151-154)

Lectio I

Quemádmodum Fílius glorificátur a Patre qui ait: Et glorificávi, et íterum glorificábo: sic glorificátur Spíritus per consórtium quod habet cum Patre et Fílio, et per Unigéniti testimónium, dicéntis: Omne peccátum et blasphémia remittétur vobis homínibus, sed in Spíritum blasphémia non remittétur. Cum autem per vim illuminatrícem inténdimus óculos in pulchritúdinem imáginis Dei invisíbilis, perque hanc subvéhimur ad pulchérrimum spectáculum archétypi; ibi vidélicet adest inseparabíliter cognitiónis Spíritus, vim imáginis speculatívam in seípso éxhibens iis qui veritátis contemplatióne delectántur; non foris osténdens, sed in seípso indúcens ad agnitiónem.

r. Glória Patri, genitæque Proli, et tibi compar utriúsque semper Spíritus alme, Deus unus, * Omni témpore sæcli. v. Da gaudiórum præmia, da gratiárum múnera, dissólve litis víncula, astrínge pacis fœdera, * Omni.

Lectio II

Quemádmodum enim nemo novit Patrem nisi Fílius: sic nullus potest dícere: " Dóminum Iesum ", nisi in Spíritu Sancto. Non enim dictum est: " Per Spíritum ", sed: In Spíritu; et Spíritus est Deus; et qui adórant eum, in Spíritu et veritáte opórtet adoráre; sicut scriptum est: In lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen; hoc est, in illustratióne Spíritus, lumen verum quod illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in mundum.

r. Honor, virtus et potéstas et impérium sit Trinitáti in Unitáte, Unitáti in Trinitáte, * In perénni sæculórum témpore. v. Trinitáti lux perénnis, Unitáti sit decus pérpetim, * In perénni.

Lectio III

Itaque in seípso osténdit Unigéniti glóriam, et veris adoratóribus in seípso Dei cognitiónem præbet. Proínde via ad Dei cognitiónem est ab uno Spíritu, per unum Fílium ad unum Patrem. Ac rursus, natíva bónitas et naturális sanctimónia et regális dígnitas ex Patre per Unigénitum ad Spíritum permánat. Ad hunc modum et hypóstases profitémur, nec pium monárchiæ dogma labefactátur.

r. Summæ Trinitáti, símplici Deo, una divínitas, æquális glória, coætérna maiéstas Patri Prolíque Sanctóque Flámini, * Qui totum subdit suis orbem légibus. v. Præstet nobis grátiam Déitas beáta, Patris ac Nati paritérque Spíritus almi, * Qui totum.

Lectio IV

Ceterum qui subnumeratiónem ponunt, dicéntes primum, secúndum ac tértium, sciant sese deórum multitúdinem, iuxta géntium errórem, in illibátam christianórum theológiam indúcere. Ad nihil enim áliud tendit subnumeratiónis dolósa invéntio, quam ut profiteámur Deum primum, secúndum ac tértium. Sed nobis súfficit a Dómino præscríptus ordo, quem qui confúndet non minus peccábit quam peccat istórum impíetas.

r. Te Deum Patrem ingénitum, te Fílium unigénitum, te Spíritum Sanctum Paráclitum, sanctam et indivíduam Trinitátem toto corde et ore confitémur, laudámus atque benedícimus: * Tibi glória in sæcula. v. Quóniam magnus es tu et fáciens mirabília, tu es Deus solus: * Tibi. v. Glória Patri. * Tibi.

IN III NOCTURNO

Ant. 13. Benedícta sit sancta Trínitas atque indivísa Unitas: confitébimur ei, quia fecit nobíscum misericórdiam suam.

Ant. 13. Blessed be the Holy Trinity and the indivisible Unity: we will give Him thanks, for He hath shown us His mercy.

Canticum Is 33, 2-10

Oratio fiduciæ in miseria

In Christo sunt omnes thesauri sapientiæ et scientiæ absconditi (Col 2,3)

Dómine, miserére nostri, te enim exspectávimus; esto bráchium nostrum in mane * et salus nostra in témpore tribulatiónis.

A voce fragóris fugérunt pópuli, * ab exaltatióne tua dispérsæ sunt gentes.

Et congregabúntur spólia, sicut collígitur bruchus; * sicut discúrrunt locústæ, ad ea discúrritur.

Sublímis est Dóminus, quóniam hábitat in excélso; * implet Sion iudício et iustítia.

Et erit fírmitas in tempóribus tuis; divítiæ salútis sapiéntia et sciéntia: * timor Dómini ipse est thesáurus eíus.

Ecce præcónes clamábunt foris, * ángeli pacis amáre flebunt.

Dissipátæ sunt viæ, cessávit tránsiens per sémitam; írritum fecit pactum, * reiécit testes, non reputávit hómines.

Luget et elanguéscit terra, * confúsus est Líbanus et obsórduit,

et factus est Saron sicut desértum, * et exaruérunt Basan et Carmélus.

"Nunc consúrgam, dicit Dóminus, * nunc exaltábor, nunc sublevábor."

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 Is 33,13-16

Deus iudicabit in iustitia

Vobis est repromissio et filiis vestris et omnibus qui longe sunt (Act 2,39)

Audíte, qui longe estis, quæ fécerim, * et cognoscíte, vicíni, fortitúdinem meam.

Contérriti sunt in Sion peccatóres, * possédit tremor ímpios.

Quis póterit habitáre de vobis cum igne devoránte? * Quis habitábit ex vobis cum ardóribus sempitérnis?

Qui ámbulat in iustítiis * et lóquitur æquitátes,

qui réicit lucra ex rapínis * et éxcutit manus suas, ne múnera accípiat,

qui obtúrat aures suas, ne áudiat sánguinem, * et claudit óculos suos, ne vídeat malum:

iste in excélsis habitábit, * muniménta saxórum refúgium eíus;

panis ei datus est, * aquæ eíus fidéles sunt.

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 Eccli 36,14-19

Oratio pro populo Dei

Hæc est vita, ut cognoscant te, solum Deum et quem misisti, Iesum Christum (Io 17,3)

Miserére plebi tuæ, super quam invocátum est nomen tuum, * et Israel, quem coæquásti primogénito tuo.

Miserére civitáti sanctificatiónis tuæ, * Ierusálem, loco requiéi tuæ.

Reple Sion maiestáte tua * et glória tua templum tuum.

Da testimónium his, qui ab inítio creatúræ tuæ sunt, * et súscita prædicatiónes, quas locúti sunt in nómine tuo.

Da mercédem sustinéntibus te, * ut prophétæ tui fidéles inveniántur.

Et exáudi oratiónes servórum tuórum, secúndum beneplácitum super pópulo tuo, * et dírige nos in viam iustítiæ,

et sciant omnes, qui hábitant terram, * quia tu es Deus sæculórum.

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.

Ant. Benedícta sit sancta Trínitas atque indivísa Unitas: confitébimur ei, quia fecit nobíscum misericórdiam suam.

Ant. Blessed be the Holy Trinity and the indivisible Unity: we will give Him thanks, for He hath shown us His mercy.

v. Verbo Dómini cæli firmáti sunt. r. Et Spíritu oris eius omnis virtus eórum.

v. By the word of the Lord, the heavens were created. r. And by the breath of His mouth, all their power.

Postea benedicat abbas:

Then the abbot blessed:

Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris. r. Amen.

May the Lord kindle in our hearts the fire of His love. r. Amen.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

Sic diléxit Deus mundum, ut Fílium suum unigénitum daret. Et réliqua.

Ex Tractátu sancti Augustíni epíscopi De Trinitáte (Lib. 15, 51: PL 42, 1097)

Lectio I

Domine Deus noster, crédimus in te Patrem, et Fílium, et Spíritum Sanctum. Neque enim díceret Véritas: Ite, baptizáte omnes gentes in nómine Patris et Fílii et Spíritus Sancti, nisi Trínitas esses. Nec baptizári nos iubéres, Dómine Deus, in eius nómine qui non est Dóminus Deus. Neque dicerétur voce divína: Audi, Israel: Dóminus Deus tuus, Deus unus est, nisi Trínitas ita esses, ut unus Dóminus Deus esses.

r. Deum time, et mandáta eius obsérva: * Hoc est omnis homo. v. Timéntibus Deum nihil deest, nec his qui eum díligunt in veritáte. * Hoc est.

Lectio II

Et si tu Deus Pater ipse esses, et Fílius Verbum tuum Iesus Christus ipse esses, et donum vestrum Spíritus Sanctus, non legerémus in Lítteris veritátis: Misit Deus Fílium suum, nec tu, o Unigénite, díceres de Spíritu Sancto: Quem mittet Pater in nómine meo, et: Quem ego mittam vobis a Patre. Ad hanc régulam fídei dírigens intentiónem meam, quantum pótui, quantum me posse fecísti, quæsívi te, et desiderávi intelléctu vidére quod crédidi, et multum disputávi, et laborávi. Dómine Deus meus, una spes mea, exáudi me, ne fatigátus nolim te qurere, sed quæram fáciem tuam semper ardénter.

r. Tibi laus, tibi glória, tibi gratiárum áctio * In sæcula sempitérna, o beáta Trínitas. v. Et benedíctum nomen glóriæ tuæ sanctum, et laudábile et superexaltátum * In sæcula.

Lectio III

Tu da quæréndi vires, qui inveníre te fecísti, et magis magísque inveniéndi te spem dedísti. Coram te est fírmitas et infírmitas mea: illam serva, istam sana. Coram te est sciéntia et ignorántia mea; ubi mihi aperuísti, súscipe intrántem; ubi clausísti, áperi pulsánti. Memínerim tui, intéllegam te, díligam te. Auge in me ista, donec me refórmes ad íntegrum. Scio scriptum esse: In multilóquio non effúgies peccátum. Sed útinam prædicándo verbum tuum, et laudándo te tantúmmodo lóquerer! Non solum fúgerem peccátum, sed méritum bonum acquírerem, quámlibet multum sic lóquerer.

r. Benedicámus Patrem et Fílium cum Sancto Spíritu, laudémus et superexaltémus eum * In sæcula. v. Benedíctus es, Dómine, in firmaménto cæli, et laudábilis et gloriósus * In sæcula.

Lectio IV

Neque enim homo de te beátus, peccátum præcíperet germáno in fide fílio suo, cui scripsit dicens: Prædica verbum; insta opportúne, importúne. Numquid dicéndum est istum non multum locútum, qui non solum opportúne, verum étiam importúne verbum tuum, Dómine, non tacébat? Sed ídeo non erat multum, quia tantum erat necessárium. Líbera me, Deus, a multilóquio quod pátior intus in ánima mea, mísera in conspéctu tuo, et confugiénte ad misericórdiam tuam.

r. O beáta Trínitas, te laudámus, te benedícimus, te adorámus. Auge in nobis fidem, auge spem, auge caritátem, * O beáta Trínitas. v. Tibi laus, tibi gloria, tibi gratiárum áctio in sæcula sempitérna, * O beáta. v. Glória Patri. * O beáta.

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.
