More sparing therefore let us make The words we speak, the good we take, Our sleep and mirth,-and closer barred Be every sense in holy guard.

Avoid the evil thoughts that roll Like water o’er the heedless soul; Nor let the foe occasion find Our souls in slavery to bind.

De Duabus hominum viis
The two ways of man
Beati qui, sperantes in crucem, in aquam descenderunt (Ex auctore quodam II sæculi).
Blessed are those who, hoping in the cross, go down into the water (from a 2nd century author)
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum † et in via peccatórum non stetit * et in convéntu derisórum non sedit,
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:
sed in lege Dómini volúntas eíus, * et in lege eíus meditátur die ac nocte.
But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
Et erit tamquam lignum plantátum secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo;
And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
et fólium eíus non défluet, * et ómnia, quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
Non sic ímpii, non sic, * sed tamquam pulvis, quem proícit ventus.
Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
Ídeo non consúrgent ímpii in iudício, * neque peccatóres in concílio iustórum.
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
Quóniam novit Dóminus viam iustórum, * et iter impiórum períbit.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Messias rex et victor
Messiah, King and victorious
Convenerunt ver adversus puerum tuum Iesum, quem unxisti (Act 4,27)
They have truly banded together against Him whom You anointed (Acts 4:27).
Quare fremuérunt gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
Astitérunt reges terræ, † et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum et advérsus christum eíus:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
“Dirumpámus víncula eórum * et proiciámus a nobis íugum ipsórum!”
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos, * Dóminus subsannábit eos.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos:
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
“Ego autem constítui regem meum * super Sion, montem sanctum meum!”
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
Prædicábo decrétum eíus. † Dóminus dixit ad me: “Fílius meus es tu; * ego hódie génui te.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Póstula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hereditátem tuam * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Reges eos in virga férrea * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.”
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Et nunc, reges, intellégite; * erudímini, qui iudicátis terram.
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Servíte Dómino in timóre * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Apprehéndite disciplínam, † ne quando irascátur, et pereátis de via, * cum exárserit in brevi ira eíus.
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.
Beáti omnes, * qui confídunt in eo.
When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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.

In primo nocturno, anno I
De libro Deuteronómii
In diébus illis: Locútus est Móyses pópulo dicens: " Audi, Israel: Dóminus Deus noster Dóminus unus est. Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo et ex tota ánima tua et ex tota fortitúdine tua. Erúntque verba hæc quæ ego præcípio tibi hódie in corde tuo et inculcábis ea fíliis tuis et loquéris ea sedens in domo tua et ámbulans in itínere, decúmbens atque consúrgens; et ligábis ea quasi signum in manu tua erúntque quasi appénsum quid inter óculos tuos scribésque ea in póstibus domus tuæ et in portis tuis. "
Cumque introdúxerit te Dóminus Deus tuus in terram pro qua iurávit pátribus tuis Abraham, Isaac et Iacob, ut daret tibi, civitátes magnas et óptimas quas non ædificásti, domos plenas cunctárum opum quas non implevísti, cistérnas quas non fodísti, vinéta et olivéta quæ non plantásti, et coméderis et saturátus fúeris, cave diligénter ne obliviscáris Dómini qui edúxit te de terra Ægýpti, de domo servitútis: Dóminum Deum tuum timébis et ipsi sérvies ac per nomen illíus iurábis. "
Non íbitis post deos aliénos, de diis géntium quæ in circúitu vestro sunt, quóniam Deus æmulátor Dóminus Deus tuus in médio tui; ne quando irascátur furor Dómini Dei tui contra te et áuferat te de superfície terræ. Non tentábitis Dóminum Deum vestrum, sicut tentástis in Massa. Custodíte mandáta Dómini Dei vestri ac testimónia et præcépta quæ præcépit tibi; et fac quod rectum est et bonum in conspéctu Dómini, ut bene sit tibi, et ingréssus possídeas terram óptimam de qua iurávit Dóminus pátribus tuis, ut deléret omnes inimícos tuos coram te, sicut locútus est Dóminus. "
Cumque interrogáverit te fílius tuus cras dicens: "Quid sibi volunt testimónia hæc et præcépta atque iudícia quæ præcépit Dóminus Deus noster vobis?", dices ei: "Servi erámus pharaónis in Ægýpto, et edúxit nos Dóminus de Ægýpto in manu forti fecítque signa atque prodígia magna et péssima in Ægýpto contra pharaónem et omnem domum illíus in conspéctu nostro; et edúxit nos inde, ut introdúctis daret terram super qua iurávit pátribus nostris. Præcepítque nobis Dóminus ut faciámus ómnia præcépta hæc et timeámus Dóminum Deum nostrum, et bene sit nobis cunctis diébus vitæ nostræ, sicut est hódie. Erítque iustítia nobis, si custodiérimus et fecérimus ómnia mándata hæc coram Dómino Deo nostro, sicut mandávit nobis". "
r. Audi, Israel, præcépta Dómini, et ea in corde tuo quasi in libro scribe; * Et dabo tibi terram fluéntem lac et mel. v. Obsérva ígitur et audi vocem meam, et inimícus ero inimícis tuis. * Et dabo. v. Glória Patri. * Et dabo.
In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex Sermónibus sancti Leónis papæ Magni (Sermo 29, 1-2: SC 49, 43-45)
Prædicatúrus vobis, dilectíssimi, sacratíssimum maximúmque ieiúnium, quo áptius utar exórdio quam ut verbis Apóstoli in quo Christus loquebátur, incípiam, dicámque quod lectum est: Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis? Quamvis enim nulla sint témpora quæ divínis non sint plena munéribus, et semper nobis ad misericórdiam Dei per ipsíus grátiam præstétur accéssus: nunc tamen ómnium mentes maióri stúdio ad spiritáles proféctus movéri, et amplióri fidúcia opórtet animári, quando ad univérsa pietátis offícia, illíus nos diéi in quo redémpti sumus, recúrsus invítat; ut excéllens super ómnia passiónis domínicæ sacraméntum, purificátis et corpóribus et ánimis celebrémus.
Debebátur quidem tantis mystériis ita incessábilis devótio et continuáta reveréntia, ut tales permanerémus in conspéctu Dei, quales nos in ipso pascháli festo dignum est inveníri. Sed quia hæc fortitúdo paucórum est: et dum carnis fragilitáte austérior observántia relaxátur, dumque per várias actiónes vitæ huius sollicitúdo disténditur, necesse est de mundáno púlvere étiam religiósa corda sordéscere: magna divínæ institutiónis salubritáte próvisum est ut ad reparándam méntium puritátem quadragínta nobis diérum exercitátio mederétur in quibus aliórum témporum culpas et pia ópera redímerent, et ieiúnia casta decóquerent.
Ingréssi ígitur, dilectíssimi, dies mýsticos, et ieiuniórum remédiis consecrátos, præcéptis apostólicis obœdíre curémus, emundántes nos ab omni inquinaménto carnis ac spíritus: ut castigátis colluctatiónibus quæ sunt inter utrámque substántiam, ánimus, quem sub Dei gubernáculis constitútum, córporis sui decet esse rectórem, dominatiónis suæ obtíneat dignitátem: ut némini dantes ullam offensiónem, vituperatiónibus obloquéntium non simus obnóxii.
Digna enim ab infidélibus reprehensióne carpémur, et nostro vítio linguæ ímpiæ in iniúriam se religiónis armábunt, si ieiunántium mores a puritáte perféctæ continéntiæ discrepárint. Non enim in sola abstinéntia cibi stat nostri summa ieiúnii, aut fructuóse córpori esca subtráhitur, nisi mens ab iniquitáte revocétur.
r. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius; * Quia benígnus et miséricors est, præstábilis super malítiam Dóminus Deus noster. v. Non vult Dóminus mortem peccatóris, sed ut convertátur et vivat. * Quia benígnus. v. Glória Patri. * Quia benígnus.
Orémus.
Concéde nobis, omnípotens Deus, † ut, per ánnua quadragesimális exercítia sacraménti, * et ad intellegéndum Christi proficiámus arcánum, et efféctus eius digna conversatióne sectémur. Per Dóminum.
Through the annual exercise of this holy season of Lent, grant us, Almighty God, to progress in the understanding of the mystery of Christ, and to conform our conduct to it as it should be.
