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.

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.

Hymnus

Qui vivis ante sǽcula vitæque fons es únicus, nos, Deus, morti obnóxios culpæque reos áspice.

Peccánti, Pater, hómini pœnam sanxísti intéritum, ut, pulvis datus púlveri, se súbderet piáculum.

Vitále sed spiráculum quod indidísti próvidus, æternitátis pérmanet germen immarcescíbile.

Hæc spes, hoc est solácium: revirescémus, Dómine, primúsque resurgéntium ad te nos Christus rápiet.

Pro uno defuncto:

Hoc vitæ regno pérfrui defúnctum præsta fámulum, quem Christi fides ímbuit, quem almus unxit Spíritus.

Pro una defuncta:

Hoc vitæ regno pérfrui defúnctam præsta fámulam, quam Christi fides ímbuit, quam almus unxit Spíritus.

Pro pluribus:

Hoc vitæ regno pérfrui da fratres in te mórtuos, quos Christi fides ímbuit, quos almus unxit Spíritus.

Hoc regnum nobis própera e terris cum cessérimus, ut concinámus ómnium te finem, te princípium. Amen.

Psalmus 5

Psalm 5

Oratio matutina ad implorandum auxilium

Morning prayer for help

Verbo inhabitante, æternaliter exsultabunt qui eum intra se receperunt.

They who dwell in the Word will rejoice without end.

Verba mea áuribus pércipe, Dómine; * intéllege gémitum meum.

Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.

Inténde voci clamóris mei, * rex meus et Deus meus.

Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

Quóniam ad te orábo, Dómine, † mane exáudies vocem meam; * mane astábo tibi et exspectábo.

For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice. In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see:

Quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es; † neque habitábit iuxta te malígnus, * neque permanébunt iniústi ante óculos tuos.

because thou art not a God that willest iniquity. Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem, perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium; * virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus.

Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

Ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ † introíbo in domum tuam; * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.

But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

Dómine, deduc me in iustítia tua propter inimícos meos, * dírige in conspéctu meo viam tuam.

Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas, * cor eórum fóvea;

For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.

sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum, * mólliunt línguas suas.

11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues:

[Iúdica illos, Deus; décidant a cogitatiónibus suis; † secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, * quóniam irritavérunt te, Dómine.]

judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

Et omnes, qui sperant in te, læténtur, * in ætérnum exsúltent.

But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever,

Obumbrábis eis, et gloriabúntur in te, * qui díligunt nomen tuum;

and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee.

quóniam tu benedíces iusto, Dómine, * quasi scuto, bona voluntáte coronábis eum.

For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.

Psalm 6

Homo afflictus Domini clementiam implorat

The afflicted man implores the Lord's clemency

Nunc anima mea turbata est ... Pater, salvifica me ex hora hac? (Io 12, 27).

Now my soul is troubled ... Father, deliver me from this hour.

Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.

O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum; * sana me, Dómine, quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

Et ánima mea turbáta est valde, * sed tu, Dómine, úsquequo?

And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Convértere, Dómine, éripe ánimam meam; * salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

Quóniam non est in morte, qui memor sit tui, * in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi?

For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

Laborávi in gémitu meo, † lavábam per síngulas noctes lectum meum; * lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábam.

I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

Turbátus est a mæróre óculus meus, * inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.

My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

Discédite a me omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem, * quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

Exaudívit Dóminus deprecatiónem meam, * Dóminus oratiónem meam suscépit.

The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

Erubéscant et conturbéntur veheménter omnes inimíci mei; * convertántur et erubéscant valde velóciter.

Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.

Oratio iusti calumniam patientis

Prayer of the righteous enduring calumny

Ecce iudex ante ianuam assistit (Iac 5, 9).

Behold, the judge stands at the door (Iac 5, 9).

Dómine Deus meus, in te sperávi; * salvum me fac ex ómnibus persequéntibus me et líbera me,

O Lord, my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

ne quando rápiat ut leo ánimam meam * discérpens, dum non est qui salvum fáciat.

Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

Dómine Deus meus, si feci istud, * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis,

O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:

si réddidi retribuénti mihi mala * et exspoliávi inimícum meum dimíttens inánem,

If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

persequátur inimícus ánimam meam et comprehéndat † et concúlcet in terra vitam meam * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.

Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life, on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.

Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua * et exaltáre contra indignatiónem inimicórum meórum

7 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.

et exsúrge, Deus meus, * in iudício, quod mandásti.

And arise, O Lord, my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:

Et synagóga populórum circúmdabit te, † et super hanc in altum regrédere: * Dóminus iúdicat pópulos.

and a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.

Iúdica me, Dómine, secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum innocéntiam meam, quæ est in me.

The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.

Consumátur nequítia peccatórum; † et iustum confírma, * scrutans corda et renes Deus iustus.

The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.

Adiutórium meum apud Deum, * qui salvos facit rectos corde.

Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.

Deus iudex iustus, * fortis, iráscens per síngulos dies.

God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

Nonne íterum gládium suum exácuit, * arcum suum teténdit et parávit illum?

Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

Et parávit sibi vasa mortis, * sagíttas suas ardéntes effécit.

And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.

Ecce partúriit iniustítiam, * concépit dolórem et péperit iniquitátem;

Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.

lacum apéruit et effódit eum * et íncidit in fóveam, quam fecit.

He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole he made.

Convertétur dolor eius in caput eius, * et in vérticem ipsíus iníquitas eius descéndet.

His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.

Psalmus 15 (16)

Psalm 15 (16)

Dominus pars hereditatis meæ

The Lord is my inheritance

Deus suscitavit Iesum solutis doloribus mortis (Act ).

God raised Jesus from the dead, delivering Him from the pains of death (Act ).

Consérva me, Deus, * quóniam sperávi in te.

Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.

Dixi Dómino: «Dóminus meus es tu, * bonum mihi non est sine te».

I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

In sanctos, qui sunt in terra, ínclitos viros, * omnis volúntas mea in eos.

To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

Multiplicántur dolóres eórum, * qui post deos aliénos acceleravérunt.

Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste.

Non effúndam libatiónes eórum de sanguínibus, * neque assúmam nómina eórum in lábiis meis.

I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

Dóminus pars hereditátis meæ et cálicis mei: * tu es qui détines sortem meam.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris; * ínsuper et heréditas mea speciósa est mihi.

The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.

Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum; * ínsuper et in nóctibus erudiérunt me renes mei.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.

Proponébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper; * quóniam a dextris est mihi non commovébor.

I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, † et exsultavérunt præcórdia mea; * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.

Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno, * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

Notas mihi fácies vias vitæ, † plenitúdinem lætítiæ cum vultu tuo, * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

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.

Dóminus pascit me, et nihil mihi déerit: * in páscuis viréntibus me collocávit,

The Lord is my shepherd; I will want for naught: He maketh me rest in green pastures,

super aquas quiétis edúxit me, * ánimam meam refécit.

He leads me unto the refreshing waters, He restores my soul.

Dedúxit me super sémitas iustítiæ * propter nomen suum.

He leads me in the right paths, forasmuch as of His name.

Nam et si ambulávero in valle umbræ mortis, non timébo mala, * quóniam tu mecum es.

Even when I walk in a valley of deadly shadow, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me.

Virga tua et báculus tuus, * ipsa me consoláta sunt.

Thy staff and thy staff have comforted me.

Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me;

impinguásti in óleo caput meum, * et calix meus redúndat.

Thou sprinkle oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

Etenim benígnitas et misericórdia subsequéntur me * ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ,

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios 15, 35-57

Lectio I

Dicet áliquis: "Quómodo resúrgunt mórtui? Quali autem córpore véniunt?" Insípiens! Tu, quod séminas, non vivificátur, nisi prius moriátur; et quod séminas, non corpus, quod futúrum est, séminas, sed nudum granum, ut puta trítici aut alicúius ceterórum. Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut vóluit, et unicuíque séminum próprium corpus. Non omnis caro éadem caro, sed ália hóminum, ália caro pécorum, ália caro vólucrum, ália autem píscium. Et córpora cæléstia et córpora terréstria, sed ália quidem cæléstium glória, ália autem terréstrium. Alia cláritas solis, ália cláritas lunæ et ália cláritas stellárum; stella enim a stella differt in claritáte.

r. Credo quod Redémptor meus vivit, et in novíssimo die de terra surrectúrus sum; * Et in carne mea vidébo Deum Salvatórem meum. v. Quem visúrus sum ego ipse, et non álius, et óculi mei conspectúri sunt. * Et in carne.

Lectio II

Sic et resurréctio mortuórum: seminátur in corruptióne, resúrgit in incorruptióne; seminátur in ignobilitáte, resúrgit in glória; seminátur in infirmitáte, resúrgit in virtúte; seminátur corpus animále, resúrgit corpus spiritále. Si est corpus animále, est et spiritále. Sic et scriptum est: Factus est primus homo Adam in ánimam vivéntem; novíssimus Adam in Spíritum vivificántem. Sed non prius, quod spiritále est, sed quod animále est; deínde quod spiritále.

r. Qui Lázarum resuscitásti a monuménto fœtidum, * Tu eis, Dómine, dona réquiem et locum indulgéntiæ. v. Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine, et lux perpétua lúceat eis. * Tu.

Lectio III

Primus homo de terra terrénus, secúndus homo de cælo. Qualis terrénus, tales et terréni, et qualis cæléstis, tales et cæléstes; et sicut portávimus imáginem terréni, portábimus et imáginem cæléstis. Hoc autem dico, fratres, quóniam caro et sanguis regnum Dei possidére non possunt, neque corrúptio incorruptélam possidébit. Ecce mystérium vobis dico: Non omnes quidem dormiémus, sed omnes immutábimur, in moménto, in ictu óculi, in novíssima tuba; canet enim, et mórtui suscitabúntur incorrúpti, et nos immutábimur.

r. Dómine, quando véneris iudicáre terram, ubi me abscóndam a vultu iræ tuæ? * Quia peccávi nimis in vita mea. v. Commíssa mea pavésco, et ante te erubésco; dum véneris iudicáre, noli me condemnáre. * Quia.

Lectio IV

Opórtet enim corruptíbile hoc indúere incorruptélam, et mortále indúere immortalitátem. Cum autem corruptíbile hoc indúerit incorruptélam, et mortále hoc indúerit immortalitátem, tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absórpta est mors in victória. Ubi est, mors, victória tua? Ubi est, mors, stímulus tuus? Stímulus autem mortis peccátum est, virtus vero peccáti lex. Deo autem grátias, qui dedit nobis victóriam per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum.

r. Heu mihi, Dómine, quia peccávi nimis in vita mea! Quid fáciam, miser? Ubi fúgiam, nisi ad te, Deus meus? Miserére mei, * Dum véneris in novíssimo die. v. Anima mea turbáta est valde, sed tu, Dómine, succúrre ei; * Dum. v. Glória Patri. * Dum.

Neque exsúltent super me inimíci mei, * étenim univérsi, qui sústinent te, non confundéntur.

Vias tuas, Dómine, demónstra mihi * et sémitas tuas édoce me.

Lord, let me know Thy ways, teach me Thy paths.

Keep in remembrance Thy mercy, the Lord, and Thy goodness, for they are eternal.

Peccáta iuventútis meæ et delícta mea ne memíneris; secúndum misericórdiam tuam meménto mei tu, * propter bonitátem tuam, Dómine.

Do not keep in remembrance the sins of my youth or my transgressions; keep in remembrance me according to Thy mercy, for Thy goodness, O Lord,

Dulcis et rectus Dóminus, * propter hoc peccatóres viam docébit;

the Lord is good and upright; that is wherefore he shows sinners the way.

díriget mansuétos in iudício, * docébit mites vias suas.

He maketh the humble walk in righteousness, he teacheth the humble His way.

Univérsæ viæ Dómini misericórdia et véritas * custodiéntibus testaméntum eius et testimónia eius.

Quis est homo, qui timet Dóminum? * Docébit eum viam, quam éligat.

Who is the man who fears the Lord? The Lord shows him the path he must choose.

Anima eius in bonis demorábitur, * et semen eius hereditábit terram.

His soul rests in happiness, and his posterity will possess the land.

Familiáriter aget Dóminus cum timéntibus eum, * ut testaméntum suum maniféstet illis.

The Lord's familiarity is for those who fear Him; He maketh known unto them the blessings of His covenant.

Oculi mei semper ad Dóminum, * quóniam ipse evéllet de láqueo pedes meos.

My eyes are constantly turned unto the Lord, for it is He who will pull my feet out of the shoelace.

Keep my soul and save me! Let me not be ashamed, for I have put my trust in Thou!

Innocéntia et æquitas custódiant me, * quia sustínui te.

May innocence and righteousness protect me, for I hope in Thou.

Líbera, Deus, Israel * ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus suis.

In periculis fiducia

This is God's tabernacle with men (Rev 21:3).

Dóminus illuminátio mea et salus mea, * quem timébo?

The Lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear?

Dóminus protéctor vitæ meæ, * a quo trepidábo?

The Lord is the bulwark of my life: whom shall I fear?

Dum apprópiant super me nocéntes, * ut edant carnes meas;

When the wicked came against me to devour my flesh;

qui tríbulant me et inimíci mei, * ipsi infirmáti sunt et cecidérunt.

When my adversaries and enemies advanced, they staggered and fell.

Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum;

let the battle be waged against me, then even I will have confidence.

Unum pétii a Dómino, hoc requíram: * ut inhábitem in domo Dómini ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ,

I ask the Lord one thing, I ardently desire it: I would like to dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life,

ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini * et vísitem templum eius.

to enjoy the kindness of the Lord, to contemplate his sanctuary.

Quóniam occultábit me in tentório suo, * in die malórum.

For he shall shelter me in his dwelling in the day of adversity,

Abscóndet me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui, * in petra exaltábit me.

he shall hide me in the secret of his tent, he shall set me up on a rock.

Et nunc exaltátur caput meum * super inimícos meos in circúitu meo.

my head will be lifted above the enemies around me.

Immolábo in tabernáculo eius hóstias vociferatiónis, * cantábo et psalmum dicam Dómino.

I will offer sacrifices of thanksgiving in his tabernacle, and I will sing and speak hymns unto the Lord.

Exáudi, Dómine, vocem meam, qua clamávi, * miserére mei et exáudi me.

Lord, hearken unto my voice, I call upon Thou; have mercy on me and hearken unto me!

De te dixit cor meum: «Exquírite fáciem meam!». * Fáciem tuam, Dómine, exquíram.

My heart says on Thy behalf, Seek My face! "Thy face, Lord, I seek.

Ne avértas fáciem tuam a me, * ne declínes in ira a servo tuo.

Adiútor meus es tu, ne me reícias * neque derelínquas me, Deus salútis meæ.

Infirmi oratio

Prayer for the infirm

Unus ex vobis me tradet, qui manducat mecum (Mc 14, 18).

One of you will betray Me, the one who eats with Me (Mk 14:18).

Beátus, qui intéllegit de egéno, * in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.

Blessed is he who cares for the poor, in the day of trouble the Lord will deliver him.

Dóminus servábit eum et vivificábit eum † et beátum fáciet eum in terra * et non tradet eum in ánimam inimicórum eius.

The Lord will keep him and make him live; he shall be happy on earth, and will not be given over unto the desire of his enemies.

Dóminus opem feret illi super lectum dolóris eius; * univérsum stratum eius versábis in infirmitáte eius.

The Lord will assist him on his bed of pain; Thou shalt turn all his bed over in his sickness.

Ego dixi: «Dómine, miserére mei; * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi».

I said, "Lord, have mercy on me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thou."

Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * «Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen eius?».

And my enemies curse me: "When will he die, when will his name perish?"

Et si ingrediebátur, ut visitáret, vana loquebátur; † cor eius congregábat iniquitátem sibi, * egrediebátur foras et detrahébat.

If anyone comes to visit me, he utters naught but lies; his heart gathers iniquity; when he goeth away, he speaketh outside.

Simul advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei; * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi:

All my enemies whisper together against me, against me they meditate misfortune.

«Malefícium effúsum est in eo; * et, qui decúmbit, non adíciet ut resúrgat».

"An irremediable evil," they say, "has fallen upon him, here he lies down, he shall never rise anon."

Sed et homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi, * qui edébat panem meum, levávit contra me calcáneum.

Even the man who was my friend, who had my confidence, and who ate my bread, raises his heel against me.

Tu autem, Dómine, miserére mei * et resúscita me, et retríbuam eis.

Thou, Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up, and I will give them back what they deserve.

Qui sitit, veniat; qui vult, accipiat aquam vitæ (Ap 22, 17).

He who thirsts, let him come and receive the water of life (Rev 22:17).

Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum, * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te, Deus.

As the deer longs for the springs of the waters, so my soul longs for Thou, my God.

Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum, Deum vivum; * quando véniam et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When will I come, and appear before the face of God?

Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panis die ac nocte, * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: «Ubi est Deus tuus?».

My tears have been my food day and night, whilst I am told every day, "Where is thy God?"

Hæc recordátus sum et effúdi in me ánimam meam; † quóniam transíbam in locum tabernáculi admirábilis * usque ad domum Dei,

I remembered these things, and poured out my soul within myself; for I will pass through the place of the wonderful tabernacle unto the house of God,

in voce exsultatiónis et confessiónis, * multitúdinis festa celebrántis.

amongst the songs of joy and praise, like the sound of a feast.

Quare tristis es, ánima mea, * et quare conturbáris in me?

Wherefore are thou sad, my soul, and wherefore do thou trouble me?

Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi, * salutáre vultus mei et Deus meus.

Hope in God, for I will praise Him anon, the salvation of my countenance and my God.

In meípso ánima mea contristáta est; † proptérea memor ero tui * de terra Iordánis et Hermónim, de monte Misar.

My soul has been all troubled within myself; wherefore I will keep in remembrance Thou, the land of Jordan, Hermon, and Mount Misar.

Abyssus abyssum ínvocat in voce cataractárum tuárum; * omnes gúrgites tui et fluctus tui super me transiérunt.

The abyss calls unto the abyss, at the sound of Thy cataracts; all Thy heaped waves and Thy waves passed over me.

In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam, † et nocte cánticum eius apud me est: * orátio ad Deum vitæ meæ.

During the day the Lord sent His mercy, and at night His song. Within me is a prayer for the God of my life.

Dicam Deo: * «Suscéptor meus es.

I will say to God, "Thou art my defender.

Quare oblítus es mei, et quare contristátus incédo, * dum afflígit me inimícus?».

Wherefore have Thou forgotten me, and wherefore should I walk sorrowfully, whilst the enemy afflicts me? ».

Dum confringúntur ossa mea, † exprobravérunt mihi, qui tríbulant me, * dum dicunt mihi quotídie: «Ubi est Deus tuus?».

Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who persecute me overwhelm me with their reproaches, saying unto me every day, "Where is his God?"

Quare tristis es, ánima mea, * et quare conturbáris in me?

Wherefore are thou sad, my soul, and wherefore do thou trouble me?

Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi, * salutáre vultus mei et Deus meus.

Hope in God, for I will praise Him anon, the salvation of my countenance and my God.

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.

Ant. Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum vivum; quando véniam et apparébo ante fáciem Dómini?

Ant.

v. A porta ínferi. r. Erue, Dómine, ánimas eórum.

Postea benedicat abbas:

Then the abbot blessed:

Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ. r. Amen.

May Christ give us the joy of eternal life. r. Amen.

In secundo nocturno, anno II)

Ex Tractátu sancti Cypriáni epíscopi et mártyris De mortalitáte (Nn. 20. 22: CCL 3A, 27-29)

Lectio I

Nobis ipsis mínimis et extrémis quótiens revelátum est, quam frequénter atque maniféste de Dei dignatióne præcéptum est, ut contestárer assídue, ut públice prædicárem fratres nostros non esse lugéndos arcessitióne domínica de sæculo liberátos, cum sciámus non amítti sed præmítti, recedéntes præcédere, ut proficiscéntes, ut navigántes solent, desiderári eos debére, non plangi nec accipiéndas esse hic atras vestes, quando illi ibi induménta alba iam súmpserint, occasiónem dandam non esse gentílibus, ut nos mérito ac iure reprehéndant, quod quos vívere apud Deum dícimus ut extínctos et pérditos lugeámus et fidem quam sermóne et voce deprómimus cordis et péctoris testimónio non probémus.

r. Peccántem me cotídie et non me pæniténtem, timor mortis contúrbat me; * Quia in inférno nulla est redémptio, miserére mei, Deus, et salva me. v. Deus in nómine tuo salvum me fac et in virtúte tua líbera me. * Quia.

Lectio II

Spei nostræ et fídei prævaricatóres sumus, si simuláta, si ficta, si fucáta vidéntur esse quæ dícimus. Nihil prodest verbis præférre virtútem et factis destrúere veritátem. Quod ínterim mórimur, ad immortalitátem morte transgrédimur, nec potest vita ætérna succédere, nisi hinc contíngerit exíre. Non est éxitus iste sed tránsitus et temporáli itínere decúrso ad ætérna transgréssus.

r. Ne recordéris peccáta mea, Dómine, * Dum véneris iudicáre sæculum per ignem. v. Dírige, Dómine Deus meus, in conspéctu tuo viam meam; * Dum.

Lectio III

Quis non ad melióra féstinet? Quis non mutári et reformári ad Christi spéciem et ad cæléstis glóriæ dignitátem cítius exóptet? Paulo apóstolo prædicánte: Nostra autem conversátio, inquit, in cælis est, unde et Dóminum exspectámus Iesum Christum qui transformábit corpus humilitátis nostræ conformátum córpori claritátis suæ.

r. Dómine, secúndum actum meum noli me iudicáre: nihil dignum in conspéctu tuo egi; ídeo déprecor maiestátem tuam, * Ut tu, Deus, déleas iniquitátem meam. v. Amplius lava me ab iniustítia mea, et a delícto meo munda me. * Ut.

Lectio IV

Tales nos futúros et Christus Dóminus pollicétur, quando ut cum illo simus et cum illo in ætérnis sédibus atque in regnis cæléstibus gaudeámus, Patrem pro nobis precátur dicens: Pater, quos mihi dedísti, volo ut ubi ego sum et ipsi sint mecum, et vídeant claritátem quam mihi dedísti priúsquam mundus fíeret. Ventúrus ad Christi sedem, ad regnórum cæléstium claritátem lugére non debet et plángere, sed pótius secúndum pollicitatiónem Dómini, secúndum fidem veri in profectióne hac sua et translatióne gaudére.

r. Líbera me, Dómine, de viis inférni, qui portas æreas confregísti et visitásti inférnum et dedísti eis lumen, ut vidérent te, * Qui erant in pœnis tenebrárum. v. Clamántes et dicéntes: Advenísti, Redémptor noster! * Qui erant. v. Glória Patri. * Qui erant.
