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.

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,

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. -

The Lord swore the truth to David, and He shall not depart from it:
«De fructu ventris tui * ponam super sedem tuam.
I will set up on thy throne the fruit of thy womb.
Si custodíerint fílii tui testaméntum meum * et testimónia mea, quæ docébo eos,

There I will cause the power of David to sprout; I will prepare a lamp for him whom I have anointed.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ
Ecce dies Dómini venit, crudélis et indignatiónis plenus et iræ furorísque, ad ponéndam terram in solitúdinem, et peccatóres eius cónteret de ea. Quóniam stellæ cæli et sídera eius non expándent lumen suum; obtenebrátus est sol in ortu suo, et luna non splendébit in lúmine suo. Et visitábo super orbem propter mala et super ímpios propter iniquitátem eórum; et quiéscere fáciam supérbiam protervórum et arrogántiam fórtium humiliábo.
Pretiósior erit vir auro et homo mundo obrýzo. Super hoc cælum turbábo, et movébitur terra de loco suo in indignatióne Dómini exercítuum et in die iræ furóris eius. Et erit quasi dámula fúgiens et quasi ovis, et non erit qui cóngreget; unusquísque ad pópulum suum convertétur, et sínguli ad terram suam fúgient. Omnis qui invéntus fúerit occidétur, et omnis qui captus fúerit, cadet in gládio; infántes eórum allidéntur in óculis eórum, diripiéntur domus eórum, et uxóres eórum violabúntur.
Ecce ego suscitábo super eos Medos, qui argéntum non quærant nec aurum velint; sed arcus púeros prostérnent et frúctui úteri non miserebúntur. Et erit Bábylon, splendor regnórum, ínclita supérbia Chaldæórum, sicut cum subvértit Dóminus Sódomam et Gomórram. Non habitábitur usque in finem et non fundábitur usque ad generatiónem et generatiónem, nec ponet ibi tentória Arabs nec pastóres accubáre fácient ibi; sed accubábunt ibi béstiæ, et replébunt domus eórum úlulæ, et habitábunt ibi struthiónes, et pilósi saltábunt ibi; et respondébunt ibi hynæ in ædibus eius, et thœs in delúbris voluptátis. Prope est ut véniat tempus eius, et dies eius non elongabúntur.
r. Ave, María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum. * Spíritus Sanctus supervéniet in te et virtus Altíssimi obumbrábit tibi; quod enim ex te nascétur Sanctum, vocábitur Fílius Dei. v. Quómodo fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Et respóndens Angelus, dixit ei. * Spíritus Sanctus. v. Glória Patri. * Spíritus Sanctus.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernárdi abbátis (Sermo 1 in Adventu, 9-10: EC 4, 167-169)
Tempus est iam ipsum quoque consideráre tempus quo Salvátor advénit. Venit enim non in inítio, non in médio témporis, sed in fine. Nec incóngrue factum est, sed vere sapiénter dispósuit Sapiéntia, ut cum magis esset necessárium, tunc primo ferret auxílium, pronos ad ingratitúdinem Adæ fílios non ignórans. Vere enim advesperascébat et inclináta erat iam dies, recésserat paulo minus Sol iustítiæ, ita ut exíguus nimis splendor eius aut calor esset in terris. Nam et lux divínæ notítiæ parva ádmodum erat, et, abundánte iniquitáte, fervor refrigúerat caritátis. Iam non apparébat ángelus, non loquebátur prophéta; cessábant velut desperatióne victi, præ nímia útique durítia hóminum et obstinatióne. At ego, ait Fílius, tunc dixi: Ecce vénio. Sic, sic dum médium siléntium tenérent ómnia et nox in suo cursu iter perágeret, omnípotens sermo tuus, Dómine, a regálibus sédibus venit. Quod et apóstolus íntuens aiébat: Quando venit plenitúdo témporis, misit Deus Fílium suum. Nimírum plenitúdo et abundántia temporálium obliviónem et inópiam fécerat æternórum. Opportúne ergo tunc advénit ætérnitas, quando magis temporálitas prævalébat.
Verúmtamen, sicut ad operándam salútem in médio terræ semel venit in carne visíbilis, ita cotídie ad salvándas ánimas singulórum in spíritu venit et invisíbilis, sicut scriptum est: Spíritus ante fáciem nostram Christus Dóminus. Et ut nóveris occúltum esse hunc spirituálem advéntum: In umbra eius vivémus inter gentes. Proptérea dignum est, ut si non valet infírmus in occúrsum tanti médici procédere lóngius, saltem conétur erígere caput et aliquátenus assúrgere veniénti.
Non te opórtet, o homo, mária transfretáre, non penetráre nubes, non transalpináre necésse est. Non grandis, inquam, tibi osténditur via: usque ad temetípsum occúrre Deo tuo. Prope est enim Verbum in ore tuo et in corde tuo. Usque ad cordis compunctiónem et confessiónem oris occúrre, ut saltem éxeas de sterquilínio míseræ consciéntiæ, quóniam indígnum est illuc auctórem puritátis intráre. Et hæc quidem de eo advéntu sunt dicta, quo singulórum mentes invisíbili dignátur illustráre poténtia.
r. Confortámini, manus fatigátæ, et génua dissolúta, roborámini. Qui pusíllo ánimo estis mente, convaléscite! Ne timéte, dicit Dóminus, * Quia vénio disrúmpere iugum captivitátis vestræ. v. Cívitas Ierúsalem, noli flere, quia cito véniet salus tua. * Quia vénio. v. Glória Patri. * Quia vénio.
