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.

But in Thy Bodys temple new, Thy life-bloods throbbing shrine, Held, upon fleshly tables graved, The law of Love Divine.

And when that Heart in death was stilled, Each temple’s veil was riven: And lo, within Thy Love’s red shrine, To us to look was given.

Psalm 32 (33)

Laus Domini providentis

Praise the Lord in His providence

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,

Sing to His glory a new song; Artfully unite thy instruments and voices.

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.

He gathers together as in a heap the waters of the sea; He puts the waves of the abyss in reservoirs.

Tímeat Dóminum omnis terra, * a fácie autem eius formídent omnes inhabitántes orbem.

May the whole earth fear the Lord! Let all the inhabitants of the universe tremble before Him

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

For He said, and all things were done; He commanded, and everything existed.

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.

But the purposes of the Lord endure forevermore, and the thoughts of his heart in all generations.

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

Blessed is the nation whose God the Lord is, blessed is the people whom He hath chosen for His inheritance!

De cælo respéxit Dóminus, * vidit omnes fílios hóminum.

From heaven the Lord looks, He seeth all the children of men;

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.

He who forms the hearts of them all, who is attentive to all their actions.

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

It is not the number of soldiers that gives the king victory, it is not a great force that makes the warrior triumph.

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,

The eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His goodness,

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

To deliver their souls from death, and to make them live in the time of famine.

Anima nostra sústinet Dóminum, * quóniam adiútor et protéctor noster est;

Our soul awaits the Lord with confidence; He is our help and our shield;

quia in eo lætábitur cor nostrum, * et in nómine sancto eius sperávimus.

For in Him our heart rejoices, for in His holy Name we put our trust.

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

Lord, may Thy grace be upon us, as we hope in Thou!

The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

Quóniam blandítur ipsi in conspéctu eius, * ut non invéniat iniquitátem suam et óderit.

For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

Verba oris eius iníquitas et dolus * désiit intellégere, ut bene ágeret.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

Iniquitátem meditátus est in cubíli suo, † ástitit omni viæ non bonæ, * malítiam autem non odívit.

He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

Dómine, in cælo misericórdia tua * et véritas tua usque ad nubes;

O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.

iustítia tua sicut montes Dei, † iudícia tua abyssus multa: * hómines et iuménta salvábis, Dómine.

Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

Quam pretiósa misericórdia tua, Deus! * Fílii autem hóminum in tégmine alárum tuárum sperábunt;

O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

inebriabúntur ab ubertáte domus tuæ, * et torrénte voluptátis tuæ potábis eos.

They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

Quóniam apud te est fons vitæ, * et in lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen.

For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

Præténde misericórdiam tuam sciéntibus te * et iustítiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.

Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

Non véniat mihi pes supérbiæ, * et manus peccatóris non móveat me.

Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

Ibi cecidérunt, qui operántur iniquitátem, * expúlsi sunt, nec potuérunt stare.

There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.

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.

Infirmi oratio

Prayer for the infirm

Unus ex vobis me tradet, qui manducat mecum (Mc 14, 18).

One of you will betray Me, the one who eats with Me (Mk 14:18).

Beátus, qui intéllegit de egéno, * in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.

Blessed is he who cares for the poor, in the day of trouble the Lord will deliver him.

Dóminus servábit eum et vivificábit eum † et beátum fáciet eum in terra * et non tradet eum in ánimam inimicórum eius.

The Lord will keep him and make him live; he shall be happy on earth, and will not be given over unto the desire of his enemies.

Dóminus opem feret illi super lectum dolóris eius; * univérsum stratum eius versábis in infirmitáte eius.

The Lord will assist him on his bed of pain; Thou shalt turn all his bed over in his sickness.

Ego dixi: «Dómine, miserére mei; * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi».

I said, "Lord, have mercy on me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thou."

Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * «Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen eius?».

And my enemies curse me: "When will he die, when will his name perish?"

Et si ingrediebátur, ut visitáret, vana loquebátur; † cor eius congregábat iniquitátem sibi, * egrediebátur foras et detrahébat.

If anyone comes to visit me, he utters naught but lies; his heart gathers iniquity; when he goeth away, he speaketh outside.

Simul advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei; * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi:

All my enemies whisper together against me, against me they meditate misfortune.

«Malefícium effúsum est in eo; * et, qui decúmbit, non adíciet ut resúrgat».

"An irremediable evil," they say, "has fallen upon him, here he lies down, he shall never rise anon."

Sed et homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi, * qui edébat panem meum, levávit contra me calcáneum.

Even the man who was my friend, who had my confidence, and who ate my bread, raises his heel against me.

Tu autem, Dómine, miserére mei * et resúscita me, et retríbuam eis.

Thou, Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up, and I will give them back what they deserve.

In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me, * quia non gaudébit inimícus meus super me;

I will know that Thou lovest me, if my enemy does not triumph over me;

me autem propter innocéntiam suscepísti * et statuísti me in conspéctu tuo in ætérnum.

Forasmuch as of my innocence, Thou hast sustained me, and Thou hast established me forevermore in Thy presence.

Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel * a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum. Fiat, fiat.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános

Lectio I

Fratres: Scimus quóniam diligéntibus Deum ómnia cooperántur in bonum, his, qui secúndum propósitum vocáti sunt. Nam, quos præscívit, et prædestinávit confórmes fíeri imáginis Fílii eius, ut sit ipse primogénitus in multis frátribus; quos autem prædestinávit, hos et vocávit; et quos vocávit, hos et iustificávit; quos autem iustificávit, illos et glorificávit.

r. Fériam eis pactum sempitérnum et non désinam eis benefácere et timórem meum dabo in corde eórum, * Ut non recédant a me. v. Et lætábor super eis, cum bene eis fécero in toto Corde meo, * Ut non.

Lectio II

Quid ergo dicémus ad hæc? Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos? Qui Fílio suo non pepércit, sed pro nobis ómnibus trádidit illum, quómodo non étiam cum illo ómnia nobis donábit? Quis accusábit advérsus eléctos Dei? Deus, qui iustíficat? Quis est qui condémnet? Christus Iesus, qui mórtuus est, immo qui suscitátus est, qui et est ad déxteram Dei, qui étiam interpéllat pro nobis?

r. Si inimícus meus maledixísset mihi, sustinuíssem útique; * Tu vero, homo unánimis, qui simul mecum dulces capiébas cibos. v. Et si is, qui me óderat, super me magna locútus fuísset, abscondíssem me fórsitan ab eo; * Tu vero.

Lectio III

Quis nos separábit a caritáte Christi? Tribulátio an angústia an persecútio an fames an núditas an perículum an gládius? Sicut scriptum est: Propter te mortificámur tota die, æstimáti sumus ut oves occisiónis. Sed in his ómnibus supervíncimus per eum, qui diléxit nos.

r. Auferam cor lapídeum de carne vestra et dabo vobis cor cárneum. * Et spíritum meum ponam in médio vestri. v. Effúndam super vos aquam vivam, et mundabímini ab ómnibus inquinaméntis vestris. * Et spíritum.

Lectio IV

Certus sum enim quia neque mors neque vita neque ángeli neque principátus neque instántia neque futúra neque virtútes neque altitúdo neque profúndum neque ália qulibet creatúra póterit nos separáre a caritáte Dei, quæ est in Christo Iesu Dómino nostro.

r. Cum essémus mórtui peccátis, convivificávit nos Deus in Christo * Propter nímiam caritátem suam qua diléxit nos. v. Ut osténderet in sæculis superveniéntibus abundántes divítias grátiæ suæ. * Propter. v. Glória Patri. * Propter.

Effabúntur et loquéntur protérva, *gloriabúntur omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem.

Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet, *aut qui finxit óculum, non respíciet?

Would not he who planted the ear hearken, and the one who formed behold?

Qui córripit gentes, non árguet, *qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?

Ex Libris Insinuatiónum divínæ pietátis sanctæ Gertrúdis vírginis (Lib. 3, 25.51: SC 143, 118-120.224-226)

Lectio I

Dum Gertrúdis studéret síngulas notas et verba cum intentióne proférre et in hoc ex humána fragilitáte sæpius impedirétur, mœsta ex hoc, dixit intra se: " Et quis ex tali stúdio proveníre póterit proféctus, cui tanta inest instabílitas? " Cuius mœstítiam Dóminus non súfferens præsentávit illi quasi própriis mánibus suis cor suum deificátum in similitúdine lámpadis ardéntis, dicens: " Ecce cor meum dulcíssimum semper venerándæ Trinitátis órganum, óculis mentis tuæ præténdo, cui ómnia, quæ per te minus supplére súfficis, fiduciáliter pro te supplénda commendábis. Et sic ómnia coram óculis meis apparébunt summe perfécta. "

r. Prope est Dóminus invocántibus eum, * Omnibus invocántibus eum in veritáte. v. Miserátor et miséricors Dóminus, pátiens et multum miséricors, * Omnibus.

Lectio II

"Quia ad similitúdinem, sicut servus fidélis qui semper dómino suo ad quæque beneplácita parátus assístit, sic cor meum deínceps semper áderit tibi ad hoc, ut omnes neglegéntias tuas quálibet hora pro te súppleat. Divínum cor meum humánam recognóscens fragilitátem simíliter et instabilitátem, cum inæstimábili semper desidério exspectándo exóptat, quoúsque tu, si non verbis saltem áliquo nutu, commíttas sibi suppléndum pro te ac perficiéndum quidquid per te minus perfícere potes. "

r. Gratificávit nos Deus in dilécto Fílio suo, * In quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem eius, remissiónem peccatórum. v. Det nobis Dóminus illuminátos óculos cordis nostri in agnitióne eius. * In quo.

Lectio III

Alia vice Dóminus dixit ad eam: " Quílibet cordis mei duórum púlsuum tribus modis salútem hóminis operátur. Primus quidem pulsus operátur salútem peccatórum; secúndus, iustórum. Per primum étenim pulsum primo modo sine intermissióne álloquor Deum Patrem, ipsum peccatóribus benígne placándo et ad misericórdiam inclinándo. Secúndo álloquor omnes sanctos meos, apud ipsos peccatórem fratérna fidelitáte excusándo et eos ad orándum pro peccatóre instigándo. Tértio álloquor ipsum peccatórem, eum misericórditer ad pæniténtiam revocándo ac cum ineffábili desidério conversiónem ipsíus exspectándo. "

r. Confíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine cæli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus * Et revelásti ea párvulis. v. Ita, Pater, quóniam sic fuit plácitum ante te. * Et.

Lectio IV

"Per secúndum pulsum primo modo álloquor Deum Patrem ad congratulándum mihi, pro eo quod prétium sánguinis mei tam utíliter expéndi pro redemptióne iustórum, in quorum córdibus nunc deléctor tam divérsas habére delícias. Secúndo, álloquor totam cæléstem milítiam ad collaudándum laudábilem conversatiónem iustórum et ad regratiándum mihi pro ómnibus benefíciis illis impénsis ac deínceps impendéndis. Tértio álloquor ipsos iustos diversímode ipsis salúbriter blandiéndo et, ut de die in diem, de hora in horam profíciant, fidéliter admonéndo. Et sicut pulsus humáni cordis non impéditur ex visu et audítu, aut quocúmque ópere mánuum, quin semper suum motum habére possit; ita nec cæli, nec terræ, nec totíus universitátis gubernátio aut disposítio hos binos pulsus in corde meo divíno unquam, vel ad módicum, póterit usque in finem sæculi sedáre, aut temperáre, aut aliquátenus impedíre. "

r. Omnes gentes, quascúmque fecísti, vénient * Et adorábunt coram te, Dómine. v. Et glorificábunt nomen tuum, quóniam magnus es tu et fáciens mirabília. * Et adorábunt. v. Glória Patri. * Et adorábunt.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthæum

In illo témpore: Respóndens Iesus dixit: " Confíteor tibi Pater, Dómine cæli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus, et revelásti ea párvulis. " Et réliqua.

Ex Homilíis sancti Ioánnis Chrysóstomi epíscopi in Matthæum (Hom. 33: PG 57, 430-431)

Lectio I

Nemo novit Patrem nisi Fílius. Vide quandónam hæc dicat. Cum nempe per ópera ejus poténtiam clare demonstrátam habérent, cum non modo ipsum mirácula patrántem vidíssent, sed ipsi quoque in nómine ipsíus tanta édere potuíssent. Deínde, quia díxerat, Revelásti ea párvulis, osténdit hoc étiam ad se pertinére: nam ait, Nemo novit Patrem, nisi Fílius, et cui volúerit Fílius reveláre.

r. Ego, si exaltátus fúero a terra, * Omnia traham ad meípsum. v. Hoc autem dicébat signíficans, qua morte esset moritúrus. * Omnia.

Lectio II

Deínde cum per ea quæ díxerat ipsis desidérium indidísset, suámque ineffábilem poténtiam demonstrásset, tunc vocávit illos dicens: Veníte ad me omnes qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego refíciam vos. Non hic et ille, sed omnes qui in sollicitúdine, in tristítia, in peccátis estis. Veníte, non ut pœnas éxpetam, sed ut peccáta solvam; veníte, non quod glória vestra égeam, sed quod salútem vestram sítiam. Ego, inquit, refíciam vos. Non ait, Salvos fáciam; sed quod multo magis est, in omni quiéte constítuam.

r. In die qua invocávi te, Dómine, dixísti: Noli timére. * Iudicásti causam meam, et liberásti me, Deus meus. v. In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te, quia exaudísti me. * Iudicásti.

Lectio III

Tollite iugum meum super vos, et díscite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde; et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Iugum enim meum suáve est, et onus meum leve. Ne timeátis, inquit, cum iugum audítis: suáve quippe est; ne formidétis quia dixi, onus: leve quippe est. Et quómodo supra dixit: Angústa est porta, et arcta via? Nempe si segnis sis, si remíssus: ut si supra dicta perféceris, leve erit onus; idcírco nunc illud huiúsmodi esse dixit. Quómodo autem id perfícitur? Si húmilis fúeris, mansuétus et modéstus. Hæc quippe virtus mater est omnis philosóphiæ. Quaprópter leges divínas éfferens, hinc íncipit. Hic quoque rursum idípsum facit, magnámque ponit mercédem. Non tantum enim, inquit, álteri utílis eris, sed ante omnes tibi réquiem paras. Inveniétis enim réquiem animábus vestris. Ante futúra iam hic tibi dat mercédem, et bravíum nunc præbet: atque hinc et quod seípsum det in exémplum, sermónem reddit acceptiórem.

r. Sicut diléxit me Pater, et ego diléxi vos; * Manéte in dilectióne mea. v. Si præcépta mea servavéritis, manébitis in dilectióne mea, sicut ego Patris mei præcépta servávi et máneo in eius dilectióne. * Manéte.

Lectio IV

Quid enim times? inquit; ne minor habeáris si sis húmilis? Me réspice et mea ómnia a me díscito, et tunc clare scies quantum sit bonum. Viden' quómodo omni ex parte ipsos indúcat ad humilitátem? A quibus ipse fecit: Díscite, inquit, a me, quia mitis sum; ab iis quæ ipsi lucratúri sunt: nam, Inveniétis, inquit, réquiem animábus vestris; ab iis quæ ipsis largítur: Refíciam vos, inquit; ab eo quod onus leve effécerit: iugum enim meum suáve est, et onus meum leve.

r. Simus ergo imitatóres Dei * Et ambulémus in dilectióne. v. Sicut et Christus diléxit nos et trádidit semetípsum pro nobis. * Et ambulémus. v. Glória Patri. * Et ambulémus.

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum (11,25-30)

In illo témpore: Respóndens Iésus dixit: “Confíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine cæli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus et revelásti ea párvulis. Ita, Pater, quóniam sic fuit plácitum ante te. Ómnia mihi trádita sunt a Patre meo; et nemo novit Fílium nisi Pater, neque Patrem quis novit nisi Fílius et cui volúerit Fílius reveláre. Veníte ad me, omnes, qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego refíciam vos. Tóllite íugum meum super vos et díscite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde, et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Íugum enim meum suáve, et onus meum leve est.”
