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:

We say three times:

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.

Psalm 20 (21)

Gratiarum actio pro regis victoria

Thanksgiving for the King's victory

Accepit vitam, ut resurgeret, et longitudinem dierum in sæculum sæculi (S. Irenæus).

He has received life, the Risen One, for ever and ever (S. Irenaeus).

Dómine in virtúte tua lætábitur rex, * et super salutáre tuum exsultábit veheménter.

Lord, the king rejoices in Thy strength; how Thy help fills him with gladness!

Desidérium cordis eius tribuísti ei * et voluntátem labiórum eius non denegásti.

Thou gavest him what his heart desired, Thou didst not refuse what his lips asked.

Quóniam prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis; * posuísti in cápite eius corónam de auro puríssimo.

For Thou hast warned him of exquisite blessings, Thou hast put on his head a crown of pure gold.

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

He asked thou for life, thou gavest it unto him, for long days forevermore and for ever.

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.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and by the goodness of the Most High he doth not waver.

[Invéniet manus tua omnes inimícos tuos, * déxtera tua invéniet, qui te odérunt.

[Thy hand, O king, will reach all thy enemies, thy right hand will reach those who hate thou.

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.

They have prepared for thee destruction, they have devised evil designs, but they will be powerless.

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

For thou shalt turn thy back on them; with thy darts thou shalt aim at the forehead.]

Exaltáre, Dómine, in virtúte tua; * cantábimus et psallémus virtútes tuas.

Arise, Lord, in Thy strength! We want to sing and celebrate Thy power.

Psalmus 21

Psalm 21

Afflictio iusti et exauditio

The distress of the righteous is answered.

Clamavit Iesus voce magna «Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani» (Mt 27,46)

Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?"

Deus, Deus meus, quare me dereliquísti? * Longe a salúte mea verba rúgitus mei.

O God, my God, wherefore have Thou forsaken me? I groan, and salvation remains far from me!

Deus meus, clamo per diem, et non exáudis, * et nocte, et non est réquies mihi.

My God, I cry during the day, and Thou dost not hearken unto me; and during the night, no rest for me.

Tu autem sanctus es, * qui hábitas in láudibus Israel.

But Thou dwellest in the sanctuary; Thou who are the praise of Israel.

In te speravérunt patres nostri, * speravérunt, et liberásti eos;

Our fathers hoped in Thou; they have hoped, and Thou hast delivered them.

ad te clamavérunt et salvi facti sunt, * in te speravérunt et non sunt confúsi.

They cried out to Thou, and they were saved; they have hoped in Thee, and they have not been confounded.

Ego autem sum vermis et non homo, * oppróbrium hóminum et abiéctio plebis.

But I am a worm, and not a man; the reproach of men, and the scum of the people.

Omnes vidéntes me derisérunt me; * torquéntes lábia movérunt caput:

All those who have seen me have laughed at me; with their lips they uttered insult, and they shook their heads.

“Sperávit in Dómino: erípiat eum, * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.”

He hoped that the Lord would deliver him; that He may save him, since He loveth him.

Quóniam tu es qui extraxísti me de ventre, * spes mea ad úbera matris meæ.

Yes, it is Thou who have taken me out of my mother's womb; Thou hast been my hope since the time when I sucked her breasts.

In te proiéctus sum ex útero, * de ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu.

When I came out of her womb, I was thrown on thy knees; since I left his womb, thou art my God.

Ne longe fias a me, † quóniam tribulátio próxima est, * quóniam non est qui adiúvet.

Do not withdraw from me, for temptation is at hand, and there is no one to help me.

Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi, * tauri Basan obsedérunt me.

Many young bulls surrounded me; fat bulls have besieged me.

Aperuérunt super me os suum * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens.

They opened their mouths unto me, like a rapturous and roaring lion.

Sicut aqua effúsus sum, * et dissolúta sunt ómnia ossa mea.

I spread out like water, and all my bones broke apart.

Factum est cor meum tamquam cera * liquéscens in médio ventris mei.

My heart has become like melted wax in the middle of my bowels.

Áruit tamquam testa palátum meum, † et lingua mea adhǽsit fáucibus meis, * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me.

My strength has dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue has clung to my palate; and Thou hast led me unto the dust of the grave.

Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi, * concílium malignántium obsédit me.

For many dogs have surrounded me; a band of scoundrels has besieged me.

Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos, * et dinumerávi ómnia ossa mea.

They pierced my hands and feet, they counted all my bones.

Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me; † divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea * et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.

They looked at me and looked at me. They divided my clothes amongst themselves, and they cast lots on my tunic.

Tu autem, Dómine, ne elongáveris; * fortitúdo mea, ad adiuvándum me festína.

But Thou, Lord, tarry not; my strength, hasten to help me.

Érue a frámea ánimam meam * et de manu canis únicam meam.

Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword, and my life from the power of the dog.

Salva me ex ore leónis * et a córnibus unicórnium humilitátem meam.

Save me from the lion's mouth, and save my weakness from the horns of the buffaloes.

Narrábo nomen tuum frátribus meis, * in médio ecclésiæ laudábo te.

I will declare thy name to my brethren; I will praise Thee in the midst of the assembly.

Qui timétis Dóminum, laudáte eum; * univérsum semen Iácob, glorificáte eum.

Thou who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the race of Jacob, glorify Him.

Métuat eum omne semen Israel, * quóniam non sprevit neque despéxit afflictiónem páuperis

Let the whole race of Israel fear Him, forasmuch as He hath not despised or despised the supplication of the poor,

nec avértit fáciem suam ab eo * et, cum clamáret ad eum, exaudívit.

and that He hath not turned His face away from me; but that He heard me when I cried out to Him.

Apud te laus mea in ecclésia magna; * vota mea reddam in conspéctu timéntium eum.

I will praise Thee in a great assembly; I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who fear Him.

Edent páuperes et saturabúntur; † et laudábunt Dóminum, qui requírunt eum: * “Vívant corda eórum in sǽculum sǽculi!”

The poor will eat and be filled, and those who seek the Lord will praise Him; their hearts will live forevermore and ever.

Reminiscéntur et converténtur ad Dóminum univérsi fines terræ, * et adorábunt in conspéctu eíus univérsæ famíliæ géntium.

All the ends of the earth will keep in remembrance the Lord and be converted to Him; and all the families of the nations will worship Him in His presence;

Quóniam Dómini est regnum, * et ipse dominábitur géntium.

for the kingdom belongs unto the Lord, and He shall rule over the nations.

Ipsum solum adorábunt omnes, qui dórmiunt in terra; * in conspéctu eíus prócident omnes, qui descéndunt in púlverem.

All the rich of the earth have eaten and worshipped; all those who descend into the earth will bow down to Him.

Ánima autem mea illi vivet, * et semen meum sérviet ipsi.

And my soul will live for Him, and my seed will serve Him.

Narrábitur de Dómino generatióni ventúræ; † et annuntiábunt iustítiam eíus pópulo, * qui nascétur: “Hæc fecit Dóminus!”

The seed that is to come will be announced unto the Lord, and the heavens will declare His righteousness unto the people that are to be born, and whom the Lord has made.

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.

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.

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.

In primo nocturno, anno II

De libro Nehemíæ

Lectio I

Factum est cum audísset Sanabállat et Thobías et Arabes et Ammanítæ et Azótii quod prosperarétur restaurátio muri Ierúsalem et quod cœpíssent interrúpta conclúdi, iráti sunt nimis; et conspiravérunt omnes páriter, ut venírent et pugnárent contra Ierúsalem et fácerent confusiónem. Et orávimus Deum nostrum et posúimus custódiam die ac nocte contra eos. Dixit autem Iudas: "Debilitáta est fortitúdo portántis, et humus nímia est; et nos non potérimus ædificáre murum." Et dixérunt hostes nostri: "Nésciant et ignórent, donec veniámus in médium eórum et interficiámus eos et cessáre faciámus opus."

r. Vir iste in pópulo suo mitíssimus appáruit, sanctitáte autem et grátia plenus; iste est qui assídue orat * Pro pópulo et pro civitáte ista. v. Hic est fratrum amátor et pópuli sui, hic est qui multum orat * Pro pópulo.

Lectio II

Factum est autem veniéntibus Iudæis, qui habitábant iuxta eos, et dicéntibus nobis per decem vices ex ómnibus locis quibus vénerant ad nos, statúimus nos in inferióribus post murum in locis apértis, et ordinávi pópulum secúndum famílias cum gládiis suis et lánceis suis et árcubus suis. Et perspéxi atque surréxi, et aio ad optimátes et magistrátus et ad réliquam partem vulgi: "Nolíte timére a fácie eórum: Dómini magni et terríbilis mementóte et pugnáte pro frátribus vestris, fíliis vestris et filiábus vestris et uxóribus vestris et dómibus vestris."

r. Meménto mei, Deus, in bono, et ne déleas miseratiónes meas quas feci * In domo Dei mei et in cærimóniis eius. v. Meménto verbi tui servo tuo, in quo mihi spem dedísti; * In domo.

Lectio III

Factum est autem cum audíssent inimíci nostri nuntiátum esse nobis, dissipávit Deus consílium eórum, et revérsi sumus omnes ad murum, unusquísque ad opus suum. Et factum est a die illa, média pars iúvenum meórum faciébat opus, et média tenébat lánceas et scuta et arcus et lorícas, et príncipes post omnem domum Iudæ. Ædificántium in muro et portántium ónera et imponéntium, una manu sua faciébat opus et áltera tenébat gládium; ædificántium enim unusquísque gládio erat accínctus renes, et sic ædificábant; et qui clangébat búcina iuxta me.

r. Muro tuo inexpugnábili circumcínge nos, Dómine, * Et armis tuæ poténtiæ prótege nos semper; líbera, Dómine, Deus Israel, clamántes ad te. v. Erue nos in mirabílibus tuis, et da glóriam nómini tuo. * Et armis.

Lectio IV

Et dixi ad optimátes et ad magistrátus et ad réliquam partem vulgi: "Opus grande est et latum, et nos separáti sumus in muro procul alter ab áltero; in loco quocúmque audiéritis clangórem tubæ, illuc concúrrite ad nos. Deus noster pugnábit pro nobis." Et sic nos fécimus opus, et média pars nostrum tenébat lánceas ab ascénsu auróræ, donec egrediántur astra. In témpore quoque illo dixi pópulo: "Unusquísque cum púero suo pernóctet in médio Ierúsalem, et erit nobis custódia per noctem et opus per diem." Ego autem et fratres mei et púeri mei et custódes, qui erant post me, non deponebámus vestiménta nostra; unusquísque tenébat gládium in déxtera sua.

r. Civitátem istam tu circúmda, Dómine, et ángeli tui custódiant muros eius; * Exáudi, Dómine, pópulum tuum cum misericórdia. v. Avertátur furor tuus, Dómine, a pópulo tuo et a civitáte sancta tua. * Exáudi. v. Glória Patri. * Exáudi.

Quóniam pater meus et mater mea dereliquérunt me, * Dóminus autem assúmpsit me.

For my father and mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in.

Osténde mihi, Dómine, viam tuam * et dírige me in sémitam rectam propter inimícos meos.

Lord, teach me thy way; direct me in a smooth path, for the sake of those who spy on me.

Ne tradíderis me in ánimam tribulántium me; quóniam insurrexérunt in me testes iníqui * et qui violéntiam spirant.

Audívit Dóminus et misértus est mei, * Dóminus factus est adiútor meus.

Hearken, Lord, be propitious unto me; Lord, help Thou.

Convertísti planctum meum in choros mihi, * conscidísti saccum meum et accinxísti me lætítia,

And thou changed my lamentations into gladness, thou loosed my sackcloth and girded me with joy,

ut cantet tibi glória mea et non táceat. * Dómine Deus meus, in ætérnum confitébor tibi.

so that [my soul] may sing to Thou and not be silent. Lord, my God, for eternity I will praise Thou.

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.

Psalmus 30

Psalm 30

Afflicti supplicatio cum fiducia

Confident supplication of the afflicted.

Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum (Lc 23,46)

Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit (Lk 23:46)

In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum; * in iustítia tua líbera me.

I have hoped in Thou, Lord; that I should never be confounded; in Thy righteousness, deliver me.

Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * accélera, ut éruas me.

Incline thy ear unto me; Make haste to deliver me. Be me a protective God and a house of refuge, that Thou may save me.

Esto mihi in rupem præsídii et in domum munítam, * ut salvum me fácias.

For Thou art my strength and refuge, and for Thy Name's sake Thou shalt lead me and feed me.

Quóniam fortitúdo mea et refúgium meum es tu * et propter nomen tuum dedúces me et pasces me.

Thou shalt rescue me from this snare that they have hidden against me, for Thou art my protector.

Edúces me de láqueo, quem abscondérunt mihi, * quóniam tu es fortitúdo mea.

I commend my soul into Thy hands; Thou hast redeemed me, Lord, God of truth.

In manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum; * redemísti me, Dómine, Deus veritátis.

Thou hate those who cling without any fruit to vain things.

Odísti observántes vanitátes supervácuas, * ego autem in Dómino sperávi.

As for me, I have put my hope in the Lord. I will leap for joy and gladness in Thy mercy.

Exsultábo et lætábor in misericórdia tua, * quóniam respexísti humilitátem meam;

For Thou hast looked upon my humbled state; Thou hast saved my soul from anguish.

agnovísti necessitátes ánimæ meæ † nec conclusísti me in mánibus inimíci; * statuísti in loco spatióso pedes meos.

And Thou didst not deliver me into the hands of the enemy; Thou put my feet out to sea.

Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor; † conturbátus est in mæróre óculus meus, * ánima mea et venter meus.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am very afflicted; my eye, my soul, and my bowels are troubled with anger.

Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea, * et anni mei in gemítibus;

For my life is consumed in pain, and my years in groaning.

infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea, * et ossa mea contabuérunt.

My strength has been weakened by poverty, and my bones are shaken.

Apud omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium † et vicínis meis valde et timor notis meis: * qui vidébant me foras, fugiébant a me.

More than all my enemies, I have become an object of reproach, especially to my neighbors, and the terror of those who know me.

Oblivióni a corde datus sum tamquam mórtuus; * factus sum tamquam vas pérditum.

Those who saw me outside fled from me. I have been forgotten by hearts, like a dead man.

Quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum: * horror in circúitu;

I have been like a broken vessel; for I have heard the insulting words of those who live around.

in eo dum convenírent simul advérsum me, * auférre ánimam meam consiliáti sunt.

When they gathered together against me, they held a council to take my life.

Ego autem in te sperávi, Dómine; † dixi: “Deus meus es tu, * in mánibus tuis sortes meæ.”

But I have hoped in Thee, Lord. I said, "Thou art my God;

Éripe me de manu inimicórum meórum * et a persequéntibus me;

my destinies are in Thy hands. Snatch me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.

illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, * salvum me fac in misericórdia tua.

Let Thy face shine on Thy servant; save me by Thy mercy.

Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te; * erubéscant ímpii et obmutéscant in inférno.

Lord, let me not be confounded, for I have called upon Thou. Let the ungodly be ashamed and led into hell;

Muta fiant lábia dolósa, † quæ loquúntur advérsus iústum protérva * in supérbia et in abusióne.

let the deceitful lips become dumb, they who utter iniquity against the righteous, with pride and insolence.

Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.

How great, O Lord, is the abundance of Thy meekness, which Thou hast set up for those who fear Thou!

Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.

Thou exercise it against those who hope in Thou, in the sight of the children of men.

Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum;

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of Thy face, safe from the tumult of men.

próteges eos in tabernáculo * a contradictióne linguárum.

Thou shalt protect them in Thy tabernacle from the tongues that attack them.

Benedíctus Dóminus, * quóniam mirificávit misericórdiam suam mihi in civitáte muníta.

Blessed be the Lord, for He hath shown His mercy unto me in a fortified city.

Ego autem dixi in trepidatióne mea: * “Præcísus sum a conspéctu oculórum tuórum.”

As for me, I said in the transport of my spirit: I have been rejected from before Thy eyes.

Verúmtamen exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.

That is wherefore Thou heardest the voice of my prayer when I cried out to Thou.

Dilígite Dóminum, omnes sancti eíus: † fidéles consérvat Dóminus * et retríbuit abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.

Love the Lord, all thou His saints; for the Lord will seek the truth, and He shall punish widely those who give themselves up to pride.

Viríliter ágite, et confortétur cor vestrum, * omnes, qui sperátis in Dómino.

Be courageous, and let thy hearts be strengthened, all thou who hope in the Lord.

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.

Psalmus 31 (32)

Psalm 31 (32)

Beatus, cui remissa est iniquitas

Blessed is he whose iniquity is forgiven

David dicit beatitudinem hominis, cui Deus reputat iustitiam sine operibus (Rom 4, 6).

David proclaims happy the man to whom God imputes righteousness independently of works (Rom 4:6).

Beátus, cui remíssa est iníquitas * et obtéctum est peccátum.

Blessed is he whose iniquity has been forgiven, whose sin is blotted out.

Beátus vir, cui non imputávit Dóminus delíctum, * nec est in spíritu eius dolus.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose mind there is no guile.

Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum rugírem tota die.

As long as I was silent, my bones were consumed in my moan, every day.

Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua, * immutátus est vigor meus in ardóribus æstátis.

For day and night Thy hand was heavy on me, the sap of my life dried up in the heat of summer.

Peccátum meum cógnitum tibi feci * et delíctum meum non abscóndi.

I have made my sin known to Thou, and I have not concealed my iniquity.

Dixi: «Confitébor advérsum me iniquitátem meam Dómino». * Et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.

I said, "I want to confess my worries unto the Lord." And Thou hast forgiven the ungodliness of my sin.

Propter hoc orábit ad te omnis sanctus * in témpore opportúno.

Forasmuch as of this, every holy man prays to Thou at the right time.

Et in dilúvio aquárum multárum * ad eum non approximábunt.

And when the great waters overflow, they will not come near him.

Tu es refúgium meum, a tribulatióne conservábis me; * exsultatiónibus salútis circúmdabis me.

Thou art my refuge, Thou shalt preserve me from distress; Thou shalt surround me with songs of deliverance.

Intelléctum tibi dabo et ínstruam te in via, qua gradiéris; * firmábo super te óculos meos.

I will instruct thou and show thee the way thou should go; I will be thy advisor, my eye will be on thou.

Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus;

Do not be like the horse or mule without intelligence;

in camo et freno si accédis ad constringéndum, * non appróximant ad te.

they must be restrained with the bit and the brake, they do not approach Thou.

Multi dolóres ímpii, * sperántem autem in Dómino misericórdia circúmdabit.

Many sorrows are the part of the wicked, so that he who hopes in the Lord is surrounded by His mercy.

Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, iusti, * et gloriámini, omnes recti corde

Rejoice in the Lord, thou righteous ones, and rejoice and give glory to all thou who are upright in heart.

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.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Scala paradísi sancti Ioánnis Climáci abbátis (Gr. 4: PG 88, 678-679.682.723)

Lectio I

Ad púgiles et athlétas Christi a nobis deínceps orátio instituétur, quæ loco suo ordinéque nobis occúrrit. Ut fructum omnem flos præcédit, ita omnem obœdiéntiam fuga mundi, quæ vel córpore fit, vel voluntáte. His quippe duábus virtútibus, tamquam aúreis quibúsdam alis, ánima sancta ad cælum ardénter enítitur.

r. Lætátus sum in his quæ dicta sunt mihi: * In domum Dómini íbimus. v. Fiat pax in virtúte tua, et abundántia in túrribus tuis. * In domum.

Lectio II

Sed enim, si vidétur, non prætereúndus est hic generosórum bellatórum armatúræ hábitus: dictióne scílicet explicándum quómodo tenére sóleant scutum fídei erga Deum, et religiósæ palæstræ dictatórem, quo omnem, ut sic loquar, infidelitátis et aversiónis cogitatiónem retúndant; et gládium Spíritus semper strictum téneant, quo voluntátis contraveniéntis sensum mactent; thoráces férreos mansuetúdinis et patiéntiæ índuant, quibus omnes contumélias, stímulos, et iácula verbórum repéllant. Gestent et gáleam salútis, prsidis, inquam, pro nobis assídue precántis teguméntum. Stent autem nullis compedíti vínculis líberi, alterúmque pedum ad obeúnda ministéria exténdant; álterum vero ad assíduam precatiónem immótum téneant.

r. Attendíte, pópule meus, legem meam; * Inclináte aurem vestram in verba oris mei. v. Apériam in parábolis os meum, loquar propositiónes ab inítio sæculi. * Inclináte.

Lectio III

Maióres nostri arma religiónis dixére psalmódiam; mœnia, preces; bálnea, sincéras lácrymas; sanctam vero obœdiéntiam confessiónem esse iudicárunt, sine qua nemo, vítiis obnóxius, ad Dei conspéctum admittétur.

r. Adduxísti sanctos tuos in præparatiónem * Quam præparavérunt manus tuæ, Dómine. v. Altária tua, Dómine virtútum, Rex meus et Deus meus; beáti qui hábitant in domo tua, * Quam.

Lectio IV

Tota vi et víribus decertémus omnes, qui Dóminum timémus, ne in palstra virtútis versáti, inde pro virtútibus malítiam, vafrítiam, improbitátem, astútiam et iracúndiam reportémus. Nec est quod miréris si quandóque id usu veníre vídeas. Nam quámdiu inter privátos aut nautas, aut agrícolas degis, hostes tui regis non ita ácriter in te concitántur. At ubi te imperatóris tui insígnia indúere, scutum súmere, et gládium ac rhomphæam, arcum, sagum et vestem militárem conspéxerint; tum enímvero fréndere déntibus, omnibúsque víribus in te insúrgere et fúnditus pérdere conántur. Itaque semper in excúbiis vígiles persistámus.

r. Comédite pínguia et bíbite mulsum et míttite partes eis qui non præparavérunt sibi: sanctus enim dies Dómini est; nolíte contristári: * Gáudium étenim Dómini est fortitúdo nostra. v. Qui regis Israel, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Ioseph, qui sedes super chérubim. * Gáudium. v. Glória Patri. * Gáudium.

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.

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.

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,

In tertio nocturno, anno A

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthæum

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus Apóstolis suis: "Qui amat patrem aut matrem plus quam me, non est me dignus." Et réliqua.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi (Sermo 344, 2: PL 39, 1512-1513)

Lectio I

Amóre accénsis, vel pótius ut accendántur hoc dicit Dóminus: Qui amat patrem aut matrem super me, non est me dignus; et qui non túlerit crucem suam et secútus fúerit me, non est me dignus. Amórem paréntum, uxóris, filiórum, non ábstulit, sed ordinávit; non dixit: "Qui amat", sed: Qui amat super me.

r. Unam pétii a Dómino, hanc requíram: ut inhábitem in domo Dómini * Omnibus diébus vitæ meæ. v. Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini et prótegar a templo sancto eius; * Omnibus diébus.

Lectio II

Hoc est quod Ecclésia lóquitur in Cánticis canticórum: Ordinávit in me caritátem. Ama patrem, sed noli super Dóminum; ama genitórem, sed noli super Creatórem. Pater génuit, sed non ipse formávit. Pater nutrívit, sed non de suo pater panem esuriénti instítuit. Postrémo quidquid tibi pater resérvat in terra, decédit ut succédas, vitæ tuæ locum fáciet morte sua.

r. Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * Quam abscondísti timéntibus te! v. Perfecísti eis qui sperant in te, in conspéctu filiórum hóminum. * Quam abscondísti.

Lectio III

Pater autem Deus quod tibi servat, secum servat; ut hereditátem cum ipso possídeas patre, nec eum decessórem quasi succéssor exspéctes, sed inhæreas semper mansúro, semper in illo mansúrus. Ama ergo patrem, sed noli super Deum tuum. Ama matrem tuam, sed noli super Ecclésiam, quæ te génuit ad vitam ætérnam.

r. Fiat manus tua ut salvum me fáciat, quia mandáta tua elégi. * Concupívi salutáre tuum, Dómine. v. Errávi sicut ovis quæ períerat; requíre servum tuum, Dómine, quia mandáta tua non sum oblítus. * Concupívi.

Lectio IV

Denique ex ipsorum paréntum amóre perpénde quantum dilígere débeas Deum et Ecclésiam. Si enim tantum diligéndi sunt qui genuérunt moritúrum, quanta caritáte diligéndi sunt qui genuérunt ad æternitátem ventúrum, in æternitátem mansúrum? Ideo non debes illos plus Deo dilígere, quos omníno male díligis, si negléxeris tecum ad Deum dúcere.

r. Duo séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum: * Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth; * Plena est omnis terra glória eius. v. Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo, Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus: et hi tres Unum sunt. * Sanctus. v. Glória Patri. * Plena est.

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 (10, 37-42)

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus apóstolis suis: Qui amat patrem aut matrem plus quam me, non est me dignus; et, qui amat fílium aut fíliam super me, non est me dignus; et, qui non áccipit crucem suam et séquitur me, non est me dignus. Qui invénerit ánimam suam, perdet illam; et, qui perdíderit ánimam suam propter me, invéniet eam. Qui récipit vos, me récipit; et, qui me récipit, récipit eum, qui me misit. Qui récipit prophétam in nómine prophétæ, mercédem prophétæ accípiet; et, qui récipit iústum in nómine iústi, mercédem iústi accípiet. Et, quicúmque potum déderit uni ex mínimis istis cálicem aquæ frígidæ tantum in nómine discípuli, amen dico vobis: Non perdet mercédem suam.”

O God, Thou hast willed that the grace of adoption should make us sons of light; grant us, we beg Thou, not to be enveloped in the darkness of error, but to abide evermore, manifestly, in the brightness of truth.
