Dicant, qui redémpti sunt a Dómino, * quos redémit de manu adversárii

Let them say it those who have been redeemed by the Lord, those whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy

et de regiónibus congregávit eos, † a solis ortu et occásu, * ab aquilóne et mari.

and gathered from all countries, from the east and the west, from the north and from the sea.

Erravérunt in solitúdine, in inaquóso, * viam civitátis habitatiónis non invenérunt.

They wandered in the desert, in the arid places, without finding a city where they could dwell.

Esuriéntes et sitiéntes, * ánima eórum in ipsis defécit.

Let them praise the Lord for His mercy, and for His wonders for the children of men,

quia satiávit ánimam sitiéntem * et ánimam esuriéntem replévit bonis.

for He hath filled the weary soul, and He hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

Sedéntes in ténebris et umbra mortis, * vincti in mendicitáte et ferro,

They sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, captives, in need, and in chains,

quia exacerbavérunt elóquia Dei * et consílium Altíssimi sprevérunt.

forasmuch as they had rebelled against the commands of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High.

Et humiliávit in labóribus cor eórum, * infirmáti sunt, nec fuit qui adiuváret.

Their hearts were humbled by the work; they were exhausted, and there was no one to help them.

Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur, * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.

They cried out unto the Lord in their tribulation, and He rescued them from their necessities,

Et edúxit eos de ténebris et umbra mortis * et víncula eórum dirúpit.

Confiteántur Dómino propter misericórdiam eíus * et mirabília eíus in fílios hóminum,

Let them praise the Lord for His mercy, and for His wonders for the children of men;

quia contrívit portas ǽreas * et vectes férreos confrégit.

Stulti facti sunt in via iniquitátis suæ * et propter iniustítias suas afflícti sunt;

He hath taken them out of the way of their iniquity; for they had been humbled forasmuch as of their injustices.

omnem escam abomináta est ánima eórum, * et appropinquavérunt usque ad portas mortis.

Dixit et excitávit spíritum procéllæ, * et exaltáti sunt fluctus eíus.

He said, and the breath of the storm arose, and the waves of the sea were stirred up.

Ascéndunt usque ad cælos † et descéndunt usque ad abýssos; * ánima eórum in malis tabescébat.

They ascend to heaven, and descend unto the abyss; their souls fainted in the midst of their evils.

Turbáti sunt et moti sunt sicut ébrius, * et omnis sapiéntia eórum devoráta est.

They were troubled and agitated like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was annihilated.

Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur, * et de necessitátibus eórum edúxit eos.

Et státuit procéllam eíus in auram, * et tacuérunt fluctus eíus.

He changed the storm into a light wind, and the waves of the sea subsided.

Et lætáti sunt, quia siluérunt, * et dedúxit eos in portum voluntátis eórum.

They rejoiced to behold them appeased, and God led them unto the port where they wanted to arrive.

et exáltent eum in ecclésia plebis * et in convéntu seniórum laudent eum.

Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people, and let them praise Him in the council of the elders.

Pósuit flúmina in desértum * et éxitus aquárum in sitim,

He hath turned the rivers into a desert, and the springs of water into parched soil,

terram fructíferam in salsúginem * a malítia inhabitántium in ea.

and the fertile land in salt plains, forasmuch as of the malice of its inhabitants.

Pósuit desértum in stagna aquárum * et terram sine aqua in éxitus aquárum.

He hath turned the deserts into sheets of water, and the arid land into running waters.

Et collocávit illic esuriéntes, * et constituérunt civitátem habitatiónis.

And He settled the hungry there, and they built a city to dwell in;

Et seminavérunt agros et plantavérunt víneas, * et fecérunt fructum in provéntum suum.

they have sown fields and planted vineyards, and gathered abundant fruit.

Et benedíxit eis, et multiplicáti sunt nimis, * et iuménta eórum non minorávit.

He blessed them, and they multiplied exceedingly; He did not allow their flocks to be diminished.

Et pauci facti sunt et vexáti sunt * a tribulatióne malórum et dolóre.

Then they were reduced to a few, and overwhelmed by the affliction of their evils and pain.

Effúdit contemptiónem super príncipes * et erráre fecit eos in desérto ínvio.

Vidébunt recti et lætabúntur, * et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.

The righteous will behold it and rejoice, and iniquity will have to shut its mouths.

De Libro Sirácidæ 7, 9-19. 31-40

Noli esse pusillánimis in oratióne tua; exoráre et fácere eleemósynam ne despícias. Ne dicas: "In multitúdine múnerum meórum respíciet Deus et, offerénte me Deo altíssimo, múnera mea suscípiet." Non irrídeas hóminem in amaritúdine ánimæ; est enim, qui humíliat et exáltat, circumspéctor Deus. Noli aráre mendácium advérsus fratrem tuum neque in amícum simíliter fácias. Noli velle mentíri omne mendácium, assidúitas enim illíus non est bona. Noli verbósus esse in multitúdine presbyterórum et non íteres verbum in oratióne tua. Non óderis laboriósa ópera et rusticatiónem creátam ab Altíssimo. Non te réputes in multitúdine indisciplinatórum; meménto iræ, quóniam non tardábit. Humília valde spíritum tuum, quóniam vindícta carnis ímpii ignis et vermis.

In tota ánima tua time Dóminum et sacerdótes illíus sanctífica. In omni virtúte tua dílige eum qui te fecit, et minístros eius ne derelínquas. Honóra Deum ex tota ánima tua et honorífica sacerdótes. Da illis partem, sicut mandátum est tibi, primitiárum et purgatiónis et de neglegéntia, et armum in oblatiónem et sacrifícium sanctificatiónis et primítias sanctórum.

Páuperi pórrige manum tuam, ut perficiátur propitiátio et benedíctio tua. Grátia dati in conspéctu omnis vivéntis, sed et mórtuo non prohíbeas grátiam. Non desis plorántibus in consolatióne et cum lugéntibus luge. Non te pígeat visitáre infírmum, ex his enim in dilectióne firmáberis. In ómnibus opéribus tuis memoráre novíssima tua et in ætérnum non peccábis.

r. Super salútem et omnem pulchritúdinem diléxi sapiéntiam, et propósui pro luce habére illam; * Venérunt mihi ómnia bona páriter cum illa. v. Dixi sapiéntiæ: Soror mea es; et prudéntiam vocávi amícam meam. * Venérunt. v. Glória Patri. * Venérunt.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Sermónibus sancti Cæsárii Arelaténsis epíscopi (Hom. 3: PL 67, 1048)

Ecce nunc peregrinántibus natúræ légibus, innúmeræ per omnem terram multitúdines de solo sinu fontis tamquam partu vírginis procreántur. Gáudeat Christi Ecclésia, quæ ad similitúdinem beátæ Maríæ Sancto Spíritu operánte ditátur, et mater divínæ prolis effícitur. Cesset ergo infidélium cæcus error assérere, quod fémina quæ sine viro fílium pótuit párere, virgo non pótuit permanére. Ecce quantos et quantórum fratres sub una nocte nobis édidit fecúnda de sinu integritátis Ecclésia mater et sponsa.

Mirabáris paulo ante de incorruptióne nascéntem hóminem; miráre nunc, quod non minus novum est, étiam renascéntem. Conferámus si placet has duas matres et utriúsque generátio fidem nostram in altérutra corroborábit.

Maríam secréto implévit illápsu Sancti Spíritus obumbrátio, et Ecclésiam in fonte benedícto Sancti Spíritus maritávit infúsio. María fílium sine peccáto génuit, et Ecclésia in his quos generávit peccáta consúmpsit. Per Maríam natum est quod in princípio erat, per Ecclésiam renátum quod in princípio períerat. Illa plúrimis generávit, hæc pópulos. Illa, ut nóvimus, virgo pérmanens semel péperit fílium, hæc semper parit per vírginem sponsum. Quod ergo putábas a sæculis singuláre miráculum, iam munus ánnuum recognósce.

r. Emítte, Dómine, sapiéntiam de sede magnitúdinis tuæ, ut mecum sit et mecum labóret, * Ut sciam quid accéptum sit coram te omni témpore. v. Da mihi, Dómine, sédium tuárum assistrícem sapiéntiam. * Ut sciam. v. Glória Patri. * Ut sciam.

Orémus.

Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium; ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genetrícis memóriam ágimus; intercessiónis eius auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Dóminum.
