Te creávit Pater ingénitus, obumbrávit te Unigénitus, fecundávit te Sanctus Spíritus, ipsis honor ex corde pénitus.

Quasi parvuli fiducia in Domino collocata

Childlike trust in the Lord

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

Learn from Me that I am gentle and humble of heart (Mt 11:29).

Dómine, non est exaltátum cor meum, * neque eláti sunt óculi mei,

O Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty.

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.

As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

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.

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

De libro Daniélis prophétæ 3, 8-12. 19-24. 28-29

In ipso témpore accedéntes viri Chaldæi accusavérunt Iudæos dixerúntque Nabuchodónosor regi: "Rex, in ætérnum vive! Tu, rex, posuísti decrétum ut omnis homo, qui audíerit sónitum tubæ, fístulæ et cítharæ, sambúcæ et psaltérii et symphoníæ et univérsi géneris musicórum, prostérnat se et adóret státuam áuream; si quis autem non prócidens adoráverit, mittétur in fornácem ignis ardéntis. Sunt ergo viri Iudæi quos constituísti super ópera provínciæ Babylónis, Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago; viri isti te, rex, non honórant: deos tuos non colunt et státuam áuream quam erexísti, non adórant."

Tunc Nabuchodónosor replétus est furóre, et aspéctus faciéi illíus immutátus est super Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago; et respóndens præcépit ut succenderétur fornax séptuplum quam succéndi consuéverat; et viris fortíssimis de exércitu suo iussit ut ligárent Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago et mítterent eos in fornácem ignis ardéntis; et conféstim viri illi vincti, cum bracis suis et tiáris et calceaméntis et véstibus missi sunt in médium fornácis ignis ardéntis; ítaque, quia iússio regis urgébat, et fornax succénsa erat nimis, viros illos qui míserant Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago, interfécit flamma ignis. Viri autem tres, Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago, cecidérunt in médio cámino ignis ardéntis colligáti. Et ambulábant in médio flammæ, laudántes Deum et benedicéntes Dómino.

Et erúmpens Nabuchodónosor ait: "Benedíctus Deus eórum, Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago, qui misit ángelum suum et éruit servos suos qui credidérunt in eo, et verbum regis immutavérunt et tradidérunt córpora sua, ne servírent et ne adorárent omnem deum, excépto Deo suo. A me ergo pósitum est decrétum, ut omnis pópulus, tribus et lingua quæcúmque locúta fúerit blasphémiam contra Deum Sedrac, Misac et Abdénago, in frusta concidátur, et domus eius in sterquilínium fiat, eo quod non est Deus álius qui possit ita salváre."

r. Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israel, qui facit mirabília solus; * Et benedíctum nomen maiestátis eius in ætérnum. v. Replébitur maiestáte eius omnis terra: fiat, fiat. * Et benedíctum. v. Glória Patri. * Et benedíctum.

In secundo nocturno, anno II)

Ex Lítteris encýclicis Redemptóris Mater Ioánnis Pauli papæ secúndi(N. 47: AAS 79, 1987, 425-426)

María in Ecclésia præsens adest ut Mater Christi ac simul ut Mater illa quam Christus in mystério redemptiónis dedit hómini in persóna Ioánnis apóstoli. Quaprópter María, nova maternitáte in Spíritu prædita, compléctitur univérsos et unumquémque in Ecclésia, compléctitur étiam univérsos et unumquémque ope Ecclésiæ. Hac significatióne Mater Ecclésiæ est étiam exémplar Ecclésiæ.

Hoc singulári nexu, quo Mater Christi iúngitur Ecclésiæ, magis pátefit mystérium illíus mulíeris quæ a prióribus capítibus libri Génesis usque ad Apocalýpsin sociátur revelatióni consílii Dei de génere humáno. María enim, præsens in Ecclésia ut Mater Redemptóris, matérno ánimo partícipat illam árduam colluctatiónem contra potestátes tenebrárum quæ univérsam hóminum históriam pérvadit. Atque hoc eo quod e senténtia ecclesiáli idem est ac múlier amícta sole, hæc licet affirmári: Ecclésia in beatíssima Vírgine ad perfectiónem iam pértingit, qua sine mácula et ruga éxsistit.

Ideo christifidéles, óculos suos ad Matrem per fidem in terréna peregrinatióne attolléntes, nitúntur ut in sanctitáte crescant. María, præcélsa fília Sion, univérsos fílios suos, ubicúmque et utcúmque vivunt, ádiuvat ad inveniéndam in Christo viam ad domum Patris ducéntem. Sic ígitur Ecclésia, in tota vita sua, vínculum servat cum Dei Matre, quod tempus prætéritum, præsens, futúrum compléctitur in mystério salvífico eámque ut matrem quidem hóminum spiritálem et grátiæ advocátam venerátur.

r. Beáta progénies unde Christus natus est! * O quam gloriósa est Virgo, quæ cæli Regem génuit! v. Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima. * O quam. v. Glória Patri. * O quam.

Orémus.

Sanctíssimæ venerántibus Vírginis Maríæ memóriam gloriósam, † ipsíus nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, intercessióne concéde, ut de plenitúdine grátiæ tuæ nos quoque mereámur accípere. Per Dóminum.

Since we celebrate the memory of the Blessed Virgin Mary, please grant us through thy intercession, Lord, that we too may share in the fullness of thy grace.
