In primo nocturno, anno II
De libro Daniélis prophétæ
Ego, Dániel, audívi vocem dicéntem mihi: "In témpore illo consúrget Míchael, princeps magnus, qui stat pro fíliis pópuli tui, et erit tempus angústiæ, quale non fuit ab eo, quo gentes esse cœpérunt, usque ad tempus illud. Et in témpore illo salvábitur pópulus tuus, omnis, qui invéntus fúerit scriptus in libro. Et multi de his, qui dórmiunt in terra púlveris, evigilábunt: álii in vitam ætérnam et álii in oppróbrium sempitérnum. Qui autem docti fúerint, fulgébunt quasi splendor firmaménti; et qui ad iustítiam erudíerint multos, quasi stellæ in perpétuas æternitátes. Tu autem, Dániel, claude sermónes et signa librum usque ad tempus finis; pertransíbunt plúrimi, et múltiplex erit sciéntia."
Et vidi ego Dániel: et ecce duo álii stabant, unus hinc super ripam flúminis, et álius inde ex áltera ripa flúminis. Et dixit viro, qui indútus erat líneis, qui stabat super aquas flúminis: "Usquequo finis horum mirabílium?" Et audívi virum, qui indútus erat líneis, qui stabat super aquas flúminis, cum levásset déxteram et sinístram suam in cælum et iurásset per Vivéntem in ætérnum: "Quia in tempus, témpora et dimídium témporis; et cum compléta fúerit dispérsio manus pópuli sancti, complebúntur univérsa hæc."
Et ego audívi et non intelléxi et dixi: "Dómine mi, quid erit finis horum?" Et ait: "Vade, Dániel, quia clausi sunt signatíque sermónes usque ad tempus præfinítum. Purificabúntur et dealbabúntur et probabúntur multi, et ímpie agent ímpii, neque intéllegent omnes ímpii; porro docti intéllegent. Et a témpore, cum ablátum fúerit iuge sacrifícium, et pósita fúerit abominátio vastatóris, dies mille ducénti nonagínta. Beátus, qui exspéctat et pérvenit usque ad dies mille trecéntos trigínta quinque. Tu autem vade ad finem et requiésce; et stabis in sorte tua in fine diérum."
r. Qui cælórum cóntines thronos, et abýssos intuéris, Dómine Rex regum, montes pónderas, terram palmo conclúdis; * Exáudi nos, Deus, in gemítibus nostris. v. Non in iustificatiónibus nostris prostérnimus preces ante fáciem tuam, sed in miseratiónibus tuis multis. * Exáudi nos. v. Glória Patri. * Exáudi nos.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Sermónibus sancti Fausti Regiénsis epíscopi (Sermo 2: CSEL 21, 231-232)
Ecce ancílla Dómini, fiat mihi secúndum verbum tuum. Mox ángelus vírginis accépto consénsu cæléstis regiónis íncolas repetívit et ecce súbito secrétum vírginis ineffábilis poténtia penetrávit. Intrat ártifex mundi angústias ventris humáni, effícitur grávida mater intácta et ecce, tamquam sponsus de thálamo suo, Maríæ Christus procédit ex útero. Occultátur in membris infántis poténtia maiestátis, Deus pendet ad úbera, pannórum vílium squalóre contégitur, duríssimi suffert præsepis angústias, et totum miséricors humíliter pátitur, dúmmodo mundus qui períerat liberarétur.
O beáta infántia, per quam nostri géneris vita est reparáta, o gratíssimi delectabilésque vágitus, per quos stridóres déntium paternósque plorátus evásimus, o felíces panni, quibus peccatórum sordes extérsimus, o præsepe spléndidum, in quo non iácuit fœnum animálium, sed cibus invéntus est angelórum.
Lacta, María, creatórem tuum, lacta panem cæli, lacta prétium mundi, præbe lambénti mamíllam, ut pro te ipse præbeat percutiénti se maxíllam, nutriátur infans tuórum úberum lacte, ut iúvenis accípiat acéti potatiónem pro te. Ferant eum nunc manus tuæ, ut bráchia eius pro te póstea figántur in cruce, postrémo tu illi ut mater temporálem adminístra substántiam, ut ipse nobis et tibi una cum Patre et cum Spíritu Sancto vitam tríbuat sempitérnam.
r. Orávi Deum meum, ego Dániel, dicens: Exáudi, Dómine, preces servi tui; illúmina fáciem tuam super sanctuárium tuum, * Et propítius inténde pópulum istum super quem invocátum est nomen tuum, Deus. v. Qui regis Israel, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Ioseph, qui sedes super chérubim. * Et propítius. v. Glória Patri. * Et propítius.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium; ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genetrícis memóriam ágimus; intercessiónis eius auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Dóminum.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
