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.

Childlike trust in the Lord

Discite a me, quia mitis sum et humilis corde (Mt 11, 29).

neque ambulávi in magnis, * neque in mirabílibus super me.

Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

Vere pacátam et quiétam * feci ánimam meam;

If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul:

sicut ablactátus in sinu matris suæ, * sicut ablactátus, ita in me est ánima mea.

Meménto, Dómine, David * et omnis mansuetúdinis eius,

Keep in remembrance, O Lord, David, and all his meekness,

quia iurávit Dómino, * votum vovit Poténti Iacob:

for he swore this oath unto the Lord, this vow unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

Non introíbo in tabernáculum domus meæ, * non ascéndam in lectum strati mei,

"I will not enter the tent where I dwell, nor will I climb on the bed where I rest;

non dabo somnum óculis meis * et palpebris meis dormitatiónem,

I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor drowsiness to my eyelids,

donec invéniam locum Dómino, * tabernáculum Poténti Iacob.

Ecce audívimus eam esse in Ephratha, * invénimus eam in campis Iaar.

Behold, we heard, that [the ark] is in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Ingrediámur in tabernáculum eius, * adorémus ad scabéllum pedum eius. -

Arise, Lord, in Thy rest, Thou and the ark of Thy majesty!

Sacerdótes tui induántur iustítiam, * et sancti tui exsúltent.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

Propter David servum tuum * non avértas féáciem christi tui.

For David's sake, thy servant, do not reject the face of him whom thou hast anointed.

De Libro Sirácidæ 51, 1-17

Orátio Iesu fílii Sirach. "Confitébor tibi, Dómine rex; et collaudábo te Deum salvatórem meum. Confitébor nómini tuo, quóniam adiútor et protéctor factus es mihi et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo linguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu insurgéntium factus es mihi adiútor."

"Et liberásti me, secúndum magnitúdinem misericórdiæ et nóminis tui, a láqueis præparátis ad escam, de mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam et de multis tribulatiónibus, quæ circumdedérunt me, a pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et de médio ignis, ubi non sum æstuátus; de altitúdine ventris ínferi et a lingua coinquináta et a verbo mendácii, a iáculo linguæ iniústæ. Appropinquávit usque ad mortem ánima mea, et vita mea appropínquans erat in inférno deórsum. Circumdedérunt me úndique, et non erat qui adiuváret; respíciens eram ad adiutórium hóminum, et non erat. Memorátus autem sum misericórdiæ tuæ, Dómine, et operatiónis tuæ, quæ a sæculo est, quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, Dómine, et líberas eos de mánibus iniquórum. Exaltávi de terra supplicatiónem meam et pro morte defluénte deprecátus sum."

"Invocávi Dóminum: "Pater meus es tu, ne derelínquas me in die tribulatiónis meæ et in témpore superbórum sine adiutório. Laudábo nomen tuum assídue et collaudábo illud in confessióne." Et exaudíta est orátio mea. Et liberásti me de perditióne et eripuísti me de témpore iníquo. Proptérea confitébor et laudem dicam tibi et benedícam nómini Dómini."

r. Fili, noli defícere a disciplína Dómini, et ne fatígeris dum ab eo argúeris: * Quem enim díligit, Dóminus corrípit, et quasi pater in fílio complácet sibi. v. Audi, fili mi, disciplínam patris tui, et ne dimíttas legem matris tuæ. * Quem enim. v. Glória Patri. * Quem enim.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Lítteris encýclicis Redemptóris Mater Ioánnis Pauli papæ secúndi (Nn. 51-52: AAS 1987, 430. 431. 432)

"Tu quæ genuísti, natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem!" "Natúra mirante!" Hæc antiphónæ verba illum stupórem fídei signíficant, qui mystério divínæ maternitátis Maríæ sociátur. Ei sociátur, quodámmodo, quasi in corde totíus creatúræ et próxime in corde totíus pópuli Dei, in corde Ecclésiæ. Quam longe - mirabíliter quidem - Deus, Cónditor ac Dóminus rerum ómnium, est progréssus hómini se ipsum revelándo! Quam dilúcide superávit univérsa spátia infiníti illíus interválli, quo Creátor a creatúra separátur! In huius mystérii penetrálibus, in hoc fídei stupóre María est constitúta. "Alma Redemptóris Mater" prima hoc est expérta: "Tu quæ genuísti, natúra miránte, tuum sanctum Genitórem!"

Verbis huius antíphonæ litúrgicæ étiam véritas de magna mutatióne declarátur, ad quam homo mystério Incarnatiónis indúcitur. Est mutátio, quæ pértinet ad totam eius históriam, inítio sumpto, quod in prióribus capítibus libri Génesis pátefit, usque ad términum éxtremum, in prospéctu finis mundi, cuius neque diem neque horam Christus nobis revelávit. Est discrímen indésinens et perénne inter lapsum et surrectiónem, inter hóminem peccáti et hóminem iustítiæ. Litúrgia, præsértim témpore Advéntus, in huius mutatiónis seu discríminis moménto difficíllimo pónitur, cuíus véluti indésinens "hódie" et "nunc" attíngit dum exclámat: "Succúrre cadénti, súrgere qui curat, pópulo!"

Hæc verba ad unumquémque pértinent hóminem, ad communitátes, ad natiónes et pópulos, ad generatiónes atque ætátes humánæ históriæ, ad témpora nostra, ad hos annos millénnii, quod vergit ad finem: "Succúrre", prorsus "succúrre cadénti, súrgere qui curat, pópulo!" Hæc invocátio ad Maríam almam Redemptóris Matrem dirígitur, est invocátio, quæ ad Christum dirígitur, qui per Maríam in históriam géneris hóminum est ingréssus. Síngulis annis hæc antiphóna adhibétur dum témporis punctum commemorátur, quo præcípua hæc mutátio histórica évenit, quæ quodámmodo invertibíliter pérdurat: est mutátio inter lapsum et surrectiónem. Est étiam perpétua provocátio tótius consciéntiæ históricæ hóminis; est provocátio quæ íncitat ut via terátur non cadéndi modis semper vetéribus sempérque novis, et via surgéndi si quis cecíderit.

r. Habe fidúciam in Dómino ex toto corde tuo, et ne innitáris prudéntiæ tuæ. * In ómnibus viis tuis cógita illum, et ipse díriget gressus tuos. v. Fili mi, ne obliviscáris legem meam, et præcépta mea custódiat cor tuum. * In. v. Gloria Patri. * In.

Orémus.

Deus, qui in evangelizándis pópulis beátum Antónium Maríam epíscopum mira caritáte et patiéntia roborásti, † eius nobis intercessióne concéde, ut, quæ tua sunt quæréntes, eníxe in Christo lucrándis frátribus incumbámus. Per Dóminum.
