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.

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).

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

quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua * super cælos.

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.

Psalmus 10 (11)

Psalm 10 (11)

Dominus fiducia iusti

The Lord, confidence of the righteous

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

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

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

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

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

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

Quando fundaménta evertúntur, * iustus quid fáciat?».

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.

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.

Accessistis ad Sion montem et civitatem Dei viventis (Hebr 12, 22).

You have come close to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God (Hebr 12, 22).

Dómine, quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * Quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

Qui ingréditur sine mácula et operátur iustítiam, * qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo,

He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice: He that speaketh truth in his heart,

qui non egit dolum in língua sua, † nec fecit próximo suo malum * et oppróbrium non íntulit próximo suo.

who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

Ad níhilum reputátus est in conspéctu eius malígnus, * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat.

In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.

Qui iurávit in detriméntum suum et non mutat, † qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram * et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.

He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; he that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:

Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.

He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.

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.

De libro Apocalýpsis beáti Ioánnis apóstoli

Lectio I

Signum magnum appáruit in cælo: múlier amícta sole, et luna sub pédibus eius, et super caput eius coróna stellárum duódecim; et in útero habens, et clamat partúriens et cruciátur, ut páriat. Et visum est áliud signum in cælo: et ecce draco rufus magnus, habens cápita septem et córnua decem, et super cápita sua septem diadémata; et cauda eius trahit tértiam partem stellárum cæli et misit eas in terram. Et draco stetit ante mulíerem, quæ erat paritúra, ut, cum peperísset, fílium eius devoráret. Et péperit fílium, másculum, qui rectúrus est omnes gentes in virga férrea; et raptus est fílius eius ad Deum et ad thronum eius. Et múlier fugit in desértum, ubi habet locum parátum a Deo, ut ibi pascant illam diébus mille ducéntis sexagínta.

r. Factum est siléntium in cælo dum commítteret bellum draco cum Michaéle archángelo; * Et audíta est vox mília mílium dicéntium: Salus, honor et virtus omnipoténti Deo. v. Mília mílium ministrábant ei, et décies mílies céntena mília assistébant ei. * Et audíta est.

Lectio II

Et factum est prœlium in cælo, Míchael et ángeli eius, ut prœliaréntur cum dracóne. Et draco pugnávit et ángeli eius, et non váluit, neque locus invéntus est eórum ámplius in cælo. Et proiéctus est draco ille magnus, serpens antíquus, qui vocátur Diábolus et Sátanas, qui sedúcit univérsum orbem; proiéctus est in terram, et ángeli eius cum illo proiécti sunt.

r. Stetit ángelus iuxta aram templi, habens turíbulum áureum in manu sua, et data sunt ei incénsa multa; et ascéndit fumus arómatum de manu ángeli * In conspéctu Dómini. v. In conspéctu angelórum psallam tibi, et adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitébor nómini tuo, * In conspéctu.

Lectio III

Et audívi vocem magnam in cælo dicéntem: "Nunc facta est salus et virtus et regnum Dei nostri et potéstas Christi eius, quia proiéctus est accusátor fratrum nostrórum, qui accusábat illos ante conspéctum Dei nostri die ac nocte. Et ipsi vicérunt illum propter sánguinem Agni et propter verbum testimónii sui; et non dilexérunt ánimam suam usque ad mortem. Proptérea lætámini, cæli et qui habitátis in eis. Væ terræ et mari, quia descéndit Diábolus ad vos habens iram magnam, sciens quod módicum tempus habet!"

r. In conspéctu géntium nolíte metúere; vos enim in córdibus vestris adoráte et timéte Dóminum; * Angelus enim eius vobíscum est. v. Stetit ángelus iuxta aram templi, habens turíbulum áureum in manu sua, et data sunt ei incénsa multa. * Angelus.

Lectio IV

Et postquam vidit draco quod proiéctus est in terram, persecútus est mulíerem, quæ péperit másculum. Et datæ sunt mulíeri duæ alæ áquilæ magnæ, ut voláret in desértum in locum suum, ubi álitur per tempus et témpora et dimídium témporis a fácie serpéntis. Et misit serpens ex ore suo post mulíerem aquam tamquam flumen, ut eam fáceret trahi a flúmine. Et adiúvit terra mulíerem, et apéruit terra os suum et absórbuit flumen, quod misit draco de ore suo. Et irátus est draco in mulíerem et ábiit fácere prœlium cum réliquis de sémine eius, qui custódiunt mandáta Dei et habent testimónium Iesu.

r. Hic est Míchael archángelus, princeps milítiæ angelórum, cuius honor præstat benefícia populórum, * Et orátio perdúcit ad regna cælórum. v. Angeli, archángeli, throni et dominatiónes, principátus et potestátes, virtútes cælórum. * Et orátio. v. Glória Pátri. * Et orátio.

Psalm 89 (90)

Sit splendor Domini super nos

May the splendor of the Lord be upon us.

Unus dies apud Dominum sicut mille anni, et mille anni sicut dies unus (2 Petr 3, 8).

With the Lord, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.

Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis * a generatióne in generatiónem.

Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.

Priúsquam montes nasceréntur † aut gignerétur terra et orbis, * a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum tu es Deus.

Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.

Redúcis hóminem in púlverem; * et dixísti: «Revertímini, fílii hóminum».

Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.

Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos tamquam dies hestérna, quæ prætériit, * et custódia in nocte.

For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,

Auferes eos, sómnium erunt: * mane sicut herba succréscens,

things that are counted nothing, shall their years be. In the morning man shall grow up like grass;

mane floret et crescit, * véspere décidit et aréscit.

in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.

Quia defécimus in ira tua * et in furóre tuo turbáti sumus.

For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.

Posuísti iniquitátes nostras in conspéctu tuo, * occúlta nostra in illuminatióne vultus tui.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.

Quóniam omnes dies nostri evanuérunt in ira tua, * consúmpsimus ut suspírium annos nostros.

For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:

Dies annórum nostrórum sunt septuagínta anni * aut in valéntibus octogínta anni,

the days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years:

et maior pars eórum labor et dolor, * quóniam cito tránseunt, et avolámus.

and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.

Quis novit potestátem iræ tuæ * et secúndum timórem tuum indignatiónem tuam?

Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear

Dinumeráre dies nostros sic doce nos, * ut inducámus cor ad sapiéntiam.

can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.

Convértere, Dómine, úsquequo? * Et deprecábilis esto super servos tuos.

Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.

Reple nos mane misericórdia tua, * et exsultábimus et delectábimur ómnibus diébus nostris.

We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.

Lætífica nos pro diébus, quibus nos humiliásti, * pro annis, quibus vídimus mala.

We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.

Appáreat servis tuis opus tuum * et decor tuus fíliis eórum.

Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.

Et sit splendor Dómini Dei nostri super nos, † et ópera mánuum nostrárum confírma super nos * et opus mánuum nostrárum confírma.

And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

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 Libris sancti Augustíni epíscopi De Civitáte Dei (Lib. 11, 24: CCL 48, 343-344)

Lectio I

Crédimus et tenémus et fidéliter prædicámus quod Pater genúerit Verbum, hoc est sapiéntiam per quam facta sunt ómnia, unigénitum Fílium, unus unum, ætérnus coætérnum, summe bonus æquáliter bonum; et quod Spíritus Sanctus simul et Patris et Fílii sit Spíritus et ipse consubstantiális et coætérnus ambóbus; atque hoc totum et Trínitas sit propter proprietátem personárum et unus Deus propter inseparábilem divinitátem, sicut unus Omnípotens propter inseparábilem omnipoténtiam.

r. In conspéctu angelórum psallam tibi, et adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum; * Et confitébor nómini tuo, Dómine. v. Angelus qui fuit cum Iacob, ipse sit mecum in terra peregrinatiónis meæ, et benedícat vias meas Deus meus. * Et confitébor.

Lectio II

Si nihil est áliud bónitas divína quam sánctitas, profécto et illa diligéntia ratiónis est, non præsumptiónis audácia, ut in opéribus Dei secréto quodam loquéndi modo, quo nostra exerceátur inténtio, éadem nobis insinuáta intellegátur Trínitas, unamquámque creatúram quis fécerit, per quid fécerit, propter quid fécerit.

R. Venit Míchael archángelus cum multitúdine angelórum, cui trádidit Deus ánimas sanctórum, * Ut perdúcat eas in paradísum exsultatiónis. V. Emítte, Dómine, Spíritum tuum de cælo, Spíritum sapiéntiæ et intelléctus; * Ut perdúcat.

Lectio III

Pater quippe intellégitur Verbi, qui dixit ut fiat; quod autem illo dicénte factum est, procul dúbio per Verbum factum est; in eo vero quod dícitur: Vidit Deus quia bonum est, satis significátur Deum nulla necessitáte, nulla suæ cuiúsquam utilitátis indigéntia, sed sola bonitáte fecísse quod factum est, id est quia bonum est; quod ídeo póstea quam factum est dícitur, ut res quæ facta est congrúere bonitáti, propter quam facta est, indicétur. Quæ bónitas si Spíritus Sanctus recte intellégitur, univérsa nobis Trínitas in suis opéribus intimátur.

r. Numquid scis quare vénerim ad te? Et nunc revértar ut prœlier advérsus príncipem Persárum contradicéntem tuis précibus et meæ legatióni; * Verúmtamen Míchael archángelus, princeps vester, erit adiútor meus. v. Dániel, vir desideriórum, intellége verba quæ loquor ad te, et sta in gradu tuo. * Verúmtamen.

Lectio IV

Inde est civitátis sanctæ, quæ in sanctis ángelis sursum est, et órigo et informátio et beatitúdo. Nam si quærátur unde sit: Deus eam cóndidit; si unde sit sápiens: a Deo illuminátur; si unde sit felix: Deo frúitur; subsístens modificátur, contémplans illustrátur, inhærens iucundátur; est, videt, amat; in æternitáte Dei viget, in veritáte Dei lucet, in bonitáte Dei gaudet.

r. In témpore illo consúrget Míchael, qui stat pro fíliis vestris; * Et véniet tempus quale non fuit ex eo, ex quo gentes esse cœpérunt, usque ad tempus illud. v. In témpore illo salvábitur pópulus tuus omnis qui invéntus fúerit scriptus in libro vitæ. * Et véniet. v. Glória Pátri. * Et véniet.

Ex Oratiónibus sancti Gregórii Nazianzéni epíscopi (Orat. 28, 31: PG 36, 70-71)

Lectio I

Quóniam Mosáicum illud tabernáculum, mundi tótius figúram et imáginem exstitísse docet Scriptúra - mundus porro ex visibílibus et invisibílibus constat -, idcírco penetráto primo velo, transcensísque rebus illis, quæ sensum movent, in Sancta prospiciémus, hoc est, in supercœléstem natúram, quæque non nisi ratióne atque intellegéntia percípitur.

Lectio II

Sed ne hanc quidem, tamétsi córporis expértem, incorpóreo modo cérnere póssumus, quippe quæ ignis, et spíritus appellétur, aut efficiátur. Deus enim, ut líttteris sacris próditum est, ángelos suos spíritus facit, et minístros suos flammam ignis. Spíritus porro atque ignis ángelus appellátur; illud quia intelléctili natúra est præditus, hoc, quia purgándis ánimis nostris adhibétur; quandóquidem primária quoque illa esséntia iísdem nomínibus in Scriptúra nuncupátur. Sed sint sane nobis illi incorpórei, aut quam próxime ad hoc accedéntes.

r. Venit Míchael archángelus cum multitúdine angelórum, cui trádidit Deus ánimas sanctórum, * Ut perdúcat eas in paradísum exsultatiónis. v. Emítte, Dómine, Spíritum tuum de cælo, Spíritum sapiéntiæ et intelléctus; * Ut perdúcat.

Lectio III

Vides enim quómodo circa huiúsmodi sermónem æstuémus, nec, quo progrediámur, habeámus; aut certe non ultra prógredi possímus, quam quod ángelos quosdam et archángelos scimus, thronos, potestátes, principatus, dominatiónes, splendóres, ascénsus, intellegéntes virtútes, vel mentes pótius, puras natúras, miniméque adultérinas, ad malum immóbiles, vel certe non fácile móbiles, perpétuos choros circa príncipem illam causam agitántes; aut si quid áptius quisquam eárum láudibus decantándis afférre queat, puríssimo splendóre illinc perfúsas, aut pro natúræ et órdinis cuiúsque proportióne, álias álio modo collustrátas.

Lectio IV

Quæ a summa illa pulchritúdine ádeo informántur et imprimúntur, ut ipsæ ália quoque lúmina efficiántur, ac per primi lúminis influxiónes et communicatiónes álios illumináre possint; quæ, cum divínæ voluntátis minístræ sint, roboréque non modo naturáli, sed étiam adventítio pólleant, loca ómnia perágrant, ómnibus ubíque impígre adsunt, tum ob ministérii promptitúdinem, tum ob natúræ levitátem; áliæ étiam áliam quamdam orbis partem complectúntur, aut certe áliis quæ pars commíssa est, ut novit, qui hæc ordinávit ac distínxit; ad unum rerum ómnium Conditóris nutum ómnia in unum iungunt; divínæ maiestátis laudes canunt, ac sempitérnam illam glóriam sempitérne intuéntur, non ut inde glóriæ Dei áliquid accréscat - nihil enim est, quod ei, qui plenus est, aliísque bonórum auctor, accréscere queat -; sed ne étiam primæ illæ post Deum natúræ benefício áffici désinant.

Benedíctus Deus vivens in ævum, † et regnum illíus, * quia ipse flagéllat et miserétur,

Blessed be God, living forevermore, and his kingdom, for it is He who strikes and gives grace,

dedúcit usque ad ínferos deórsum † et redúcit a perditióne maiestáte sua, * et non est qui effúgiat manum eius.

who leads unto the tomb, and who brings it back, and no one can escape from His hand.

Give thanks to Him, children of Israel, in the face of the nations where He Himself has scattered thou, and there thou shalt show His majesty.

Convertímini, peccatóres, † et fácite iustítiam coram illo. * Quis scit, si velit vos et fáciat vobis misericórdiam?

Come back, sinners, and live before Him in righteousness. Who knows, if he wanted to show thee His mercy?

Ego et ánima mea regi cæli lætatiónes dícimus, * et ánima mea lætábitur ómnibus diébus vitæ suæ.

Ex Expositióne Richárdi a Sancto Victóre presbýteri in Cántica canticórum (Cap. 4: PL 196, 417)

Lectio I

Deus eléctos abscóndit in Ecclésia, in die malórum prótegit eos in se, munit eos angelórum custódia. Hos minístros et núntios suis éxhibet, ut illis ad salútem minístrent et necessitátes eórum núntient et preces pérferant. Et quamvis ipse singulórum causas vídeat et cognóscat, vult tamen per ángelos suos hoc sibi nuntiári, ut caritátem suam et dignatiónem suam circa hóminem comméndet, et propter tam dignos tamque diléctos núntios plénius præstet.

r. Fidélis sermo et omni acceptióne dignus: Míchael archángelus, qui pugnávit cum Diábolo, grátia Dei ille victor in cælis éxstitit, * Et ille hostis antíquus pátuit ruínæ magnæ. v. Gaudent ángeli et exsúltant archángeli de Míchael archángelo. * Et ille.

Lectio II

Nec mirum quod ángelos suos eléctis minístros éxhibet, et semetípsum. Est nempe et ipse ángelus magni consílii, vidélicet redemptiónis nostræ et salútis, quam missus est operári in médio terræ. Minístrat síquidem nobis conversatióne sua et humilitáte, præbéndo vivéndi exémplum in se, et státuens se párvulum in médio discipulórum, ut efficiámur párvuli sicut ipse.

r. Míchael et ángeli eius pugnábant cum Diábolo; * Et ille hostis antíquus victus est ab eo. v. Dum prœliarétur Míchael archángelus cum dracóne, audíta est vox mília mílium dicéntium: Salus Deo nostro. * Et ille.

Lectio III

Ministrávit étiam nobis morte sua, in qua laborávit pro nobis ne nos laborémus, et temporálem pértulit ne nos ætérnam paterémur. Igitur ministrávit nobis Dóminus in hac vita, et ex hac quoque tránsiens ministrábit nobis in illa refectióne géminæ dulcédinis, quia pascet nos lacte humanitátis suæ et melle divinitátis. Angelórum quoque ministérium non tantum temporále nobis est, sed étiam sempitérnum, quia per eórum præsens auxílium hereditátem et ætérnam salútem capiémus, et gáudium eórum cum ipsis sine fine percipiémus.

r. Laudémus Dóminum in beáti archángeli Michaélis méritis præcípui, * Quem laudant ángeli et archángeli, quem chérubim et séraphim Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus proclámant. v. Gloriósus apparuísti in conspéctu Dómini, proptérea decórem índuit te Dóminus. * Quem.

Lectio IV

Quómodo vero putámus salútem nostram díligant, et quantum nos consórtes secum habére cúpiant? Cumque ánimam magno desidério fervéntem perspéxerint et ad Deum pura intentióne suspirántem, quómodo putámus hanc díligant eíque congáudeant et ad illam divértant? Quómodo inter illam et Deum discúrrent? Síquidem amíci sponsi sunt, auscúltant vocem eius, quam fáciunt sponsum audíre; voces eius desidéria sunt; hæc veheménter clamant in aure sponsi, hæc auscúltant amíci, vidélicet ángeli; his delectántur, ista núntiant et illam ut véniat invítant, istam consolántur et monent ut quærat et pulset, eo quod quærens invéniat et pulsánti aperiátur.

r. Te sanctum Dóminum in excélsis laudant omnes ángeli dicéntes: * Te decet laus et honor, Dómine. v. Chérubim quoque et séraphim Sanctus proclámant, et omnis cœlicus ordo dicens: * Te decet. v. Glória Pátri. * Te decet.

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 Ioánnem (1,47-51)

In illo tempore: Vidit Iésus Nathánæl veniéntem ad se et dicit de eo: “Ecce vere Israelíta, in quo dolus non est.” Dicit ei Nathánæl: “Unde me nosti?” Respóndit Iésus et dixit ei: “Priúsquam te Philíppus vocáret, cum esses sub ficu, vidi te.” Respóndit ei Nathánæl: “Rábbi, tu es Fílius Dei, tu rex es Israel!” Respóndit Iésus et dixit ei: “quia dixi tibi: Vidi te sub ficu, credis? Maióra his vidébis.” Et dicit ei: “Amen, amen dico vobis: Vidébitis cælum apértum et ángelos Dei ascendéntes et descendéntes supra Fílium hóminis.”
