Hymnus

Christe, pastórum caput atque princeps, géstiens huius celebráre festum, débitas sacro pia turba psallit cármine laudes.

pro papa:

Quas oves déderas, ovíle orbis ut totus fíeret sacrátum, hic tuo nutu pósitus suprémo cúlmine rexit.

pro episcopo:

Strénuum bello púgilem supérni chrísmatis pleno tuus unxit intus Spíritus dono, posuítque sanctam páscere gentem.

pro presbytero:

Hunc tibi eléctum fáciens minístrum ac sacerdótem sócians, dedísti dux ut astaret pópulo fidélis ac bonus altor.

Hic gregis ductor fuit atque forma, lux erat cæco, mísero levámen, próvidus cunctis pater omnibúsque ómnia factus.

Christe, qui sanctis méritam corónam reddis in cælis, dócili magístrum fac sequi vita, similíque tandem fine potíri.

Æqua laus summum célebret Paréntem teque, Salvátor, pie rex, per ævum; Spíritus Sancti résonet per omnem glória mundum.

Thanksgiving for salvation and victory.

In illa hora factus est terræmotus magnus (Apc 11, 13).

In that hour there was a great earthquake (Rev 11:13).

Díligam te, Dómine, fortitúdo mea. * Dómine, firmaméntum meum et refúgium meum et liberátor meus;

I will love Thou, Lord, my strength. Lord, my firmament, my refuge and my deliverer.

Deus meus, adiútor meus, et sperábo in eum; * protéctor meus et cornu salútis meæ et suscéptor meus.

funes inférni circumdedérunt me, * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.

In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum * et ad Deum meum clamávi;

In my affliction I called on the Lord, and cried out to my God.

exaudívit de templo suo vocem meam, * et clamor meus in conspéctu eius introívit in aures eius.

And from His holy temple He heard my voice; and my cry penetrated into His presence even to His ears.

Ant. 2. God has become my helper, my God.

Commóta est et contrémuit terra; † fundaménta móntium concússa sunt et commóta sunt, * quóniam irátus est.

The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.

Ascéndit fumus de náribus eius, † et ignis de ore eius dévorans; * carbónes succénsi processérunt ab eo.

There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.

Inclinávit cælos et descéndit, * et calígo sub pédibus eius.

He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Et ascéndit super cherub et volávit, * ferebátur super pennas ventórum.

And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.

Et pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum, † in circúitu eius tabernáculum eius, * tenebrósa aqua, nubes áeris.

And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.

Præ fulgóre in conspéctu eius nubes transiérunt, * grando et carbónes ignis.

At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

Et intónuit de cælo Dóminus, † et Altíssimus dedit vocem suam: * grando et carbónes ignis.

And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.

Et misit sagíttas suas et dissipávit eos, * fúlgura iecit et conturbávit eos.

And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.

Et apparuérunt fontes aquárum, * et reveláta sunt fundaménta orbis terrárum

16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered:

ab increpatióne tua, Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.

At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.

Misit de summo et accépit me * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis;

He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.

erípuit me de inimícis meis fortíssimis † et ab his, qui odérunt me, * quóniam confortáti sunt super me.

He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Oppugnavérunt me in die afflictiónis meæ, * et factus est Dóminus fulciméntum meum;

They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.

et edúxit me in latitúdinem, * salvum me fecit, quóniam vóluit me.

And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.

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.

III

Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum reddet mihi,

And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:

quia custodívi vias Dómini * nec ímpie recéssi a Deo meo.

Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.

Quóniam ómnia iudícia eius in conspéctu meo, * et iustítias eius non réppuli a me;

For all his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.

et fui immaculátus cum eo * et observávi me ab iniquitáte.

And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum in conspéctu oculórum eius.

And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

Cum sancto sanctus eris * et cum viro innocénte ínnocens eris

With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.

et cum elécto eléctus eris * et cum pervérso cállidus eris.

And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

Quóniam tu pópulum húmilem salvum fácies * et óculos superbórum humiliábis.

For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.

Quóniam tu accéndis lucérnam meam, Dómine; * Deus meus illúminat ténebras meas.

For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.

Quóniam in te aggrédiar hóstium turmas * et in Deo meo transíliam murum.

For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.

Incipit Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Timótheum

Paulus apóstolus Christi Iesu secúndum præcéptum Dei salvatóris nostri et Christi Iesu spei nostræ, Timótheo germáno fílio in fide: grátia, misericórdia, pax a Deo Patre et Christo Iesu Dómino nostro. Sicut rogávi te, ut remanéres Ephesi, cum irem in Macedóniam, ut præcíperes quibúsdam, ne áliter docérent neque inténderent fábulis et genealógiis interminátis, quæ quæstiónes præstant magis quam dispensatiónem Dei, quæ est in fide; finis autem præcépti est cáritas de corde puro et consciéntia bona et fide non ficta, a quibus quidam aberrántes convérsi sunt in vanilóquium, voléntes esse legis doctóres, non intellegéntes neque quæ loquúntur neque de quibus affírmant.

Scimus autem quia bona est lex, si quis ea legítime utátur, sciens hoc quia iusto lex non est pósita, sed iniústis et non subiéctis, ímpiis et peccatóribus, scelerátis et contaminátis, patricídis et matricídis, homicídis, fornicáriis, masculórum concubitóribus, plagiáriis, mendácibus, periúris, et si quid áliud sanæ doctrínæ adversátur, secúndum evangélium glóriæ beáti Dei, quod créditum est mihi. Grátiam hábeo ei, qui me confortávit, Christo Iesu Dómino nostro, quia fidélem me existimávit ponens in ministério, qui prius fui blasphémus et persecútor et contumeliósus; sed misericórdiam consecútus sum, quia ignórans feci in incredulitáte, superabundávit autem grátia Dómini nostri cum fide et dilectióne, quæ sunt in Christo Iesu.

Fidélis sermo et omni acceptióne dignus: Christus Iesus venit in mundum peccatóres salvos fácere; quorum primus ego sum, sed ídeo misericórdiam consecútus sum, ut in me primo osténderet Christus Iesus omnem longanimitátem, ad informatiónem eórum, qui creditúri sunt illi in vitam ætérnam. Regi autem sæculórum, incorruptíbili, invisíbili, soli Deo honor et glória in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Hoc præcéptum comméndo tibi, fili Timóthee, secúndum præcedéntes super te prophetías, ut mílites in illis bonam milítiam habens fidem et bonam consciéntiam, quam quidam repelléntes circa fidem naufragavérunt; ex quibus est Hymenus et Alexánder, quos trádidi Sátanæ, ut discant non blasphemáre.

r. Deo subiécta esto, ánima mea, quóniam ab ipso patiéntia mea; * Quia ipse Deus meus. v. In Deo salutáre meum et glória mea; Deus auxílii mei, et spes mea in Deo est. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Régula monachórum sancti Cæsárii Arelaténsis epíscopi (Conclusio: ed. Morin, 2, 154-155)

Gaudéte et exsultáte in Dómino, venerábiles fílii, et grátias illi iúgiter úberes ágite, qui vos de tenebrósa sæculi huius conversatióne ad portum quiétis et religiónis attráhere et provocáre dignátus est. Cogitáte iúgiter unde exístis et ubi perveníre meruístis. Reliquístis fidéliter mundi ténebras, et lucem Christi felíciter vidére cœpístis; contempsístis libídinis incéndium, et ad castitátis refrigérium pervenístis; respuístis gulam, et abstinéntiam elegístis; repudiástis avarítiam atque luxúriam, et caritátem vel misericórdiam tenuístis. Et quamvis vobis usque ad éxitum vitæ non déerit pugna, tamen Deo donánte secúri sumus de vestra victória.

Sed rogo vos, venerábiles fílii, ut quantum estis secúri de prætéritis, tantum sitis sollíciti de futúris. Omnia enim crímina vel peccáta cito ad nos revertúntur, si non cotídie bonis opéribus expugnántur. Audíte apóstolum Petrum dicéntem: Sóbrii estóte et vigiláte, quia adversárius vester diábolus, tamquam leo rúgiens, áliquid devoráre quærens círcuit. Quámdiu in hoc córpore vívimus, die noctúque Christo adiutóre vel duce contra diábolum repugnémus.

Sunt étenim áliqui, quod peius est, neglegéntes et tépidi, qui de solo christianitátis vocábulo gloriántur, et putant quod illis suffíciat vestem mutásse et religiónis tantum hábitum suscepísse, nesciéntes illud prophéticum: Fili, accédens ad servitútem Dei sta in iustítia et timóre, et præpara ánimam tuam ad tentatiónem. Vestes enim sæculáres depónere et religiósas assúmere uníus horæ moménto póssumus; mores vero bonos iúgiter retinére, vel contra male dulces voluptátes sæculi huius, quámdiu vívimus, Christo adiutóre laboráre debémus; quia non qui incéperit, sed qui perseveráverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.

r. Invéni David servum meum, óleo sancto meo unxi eum; * Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei. v. Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, et fílius iniquitátis non nocébit eum. * Manus. v. Glória Patri. * Manus.

Orémus.

Deus, qui beátum Cæsárium epíscopum in pópulis verbo tuo erudiéndis mira solértia claréscere fecísti, † tríbue, quåsumus, ut quod fidéliter et fírmiter edócuit, * córdibus apértis suscipiámus. Per Dóminum.
