Hymnus

Christe, pastórum caput atque princeps, géstiens huius celebráre festum, débitas sacro pia turba psallit cármine laudes.

pro papa:

Quas oves déderas, ovíle orbis ut totus fíeret sacrátum, hic tuo nutu pósitus suprémo cúlmine rexit.

pro episcopo:

Strénuum bello púgilem supérni chrísmatis pleno tuus unxit intus Spíritus dono, posuítque sanctam páscere gentem.

pro presbytero:

Hunc tibi eléctum fáciens minístrum ac sacerdótem sócians, dedísti dux ut astaret pópulo fidélis ac bonus altor.

Hic gregis ductor fuit atque forma, lux erat cæco, mísero levámen, próvidus cunctis pater omnibúsque ómnia factus.

Christe, qui sanctis méritam corónam reddis in cælis, dócili magístrum fac sequi vita, similíque tandem fine potíri.

Æqua laus summum célebret Paréntem teque, Salvátor, pie rex, per ævum; Spíritus Sancti résonet per omnem glória mundum.

Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos? (Rom 8, 31).

If God is for us, who will be against us?

Deus, impollúta via eius, † elóquia Dómini igne examináta; * protéctor est ómnium sperántium in se.

As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.

Quóniam quis Deus præter Dóminum? * Aut quæ munítio præter Deum nostrum?

For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?

Deus, qui præcínxit me virtúte * et pósuit immaculátam viam meam;

God, who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.

qui perfécit pedes meos tamquam cervórum * et super excélsa státuit me;

Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.

qui docet manus meas ad prœlium, * et tendunt arcum æreum bráchia mea.

Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.

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. 2. Me suscépit déxtera tua, Dómine.

Ant. 2.

Et dedísti mihi scutum salútis tuæ, † et déxtera tua suscépit me, * et exaudítio tua magnificávit me.

And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.

Dilatásti gressus meos subtus me, * et non sunt infirmáta vestígia mea.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.

Persequébar inimícos meos et comprehendébam illos * et non convertébar, donec defícerent.

I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.

Confringébam illos, nec póterant stare, * cadébant subtus pedes meos.

I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.

Et præcinxísti me virtúte ad bellum * et supplantásti insurgéntes in me subtus me.

And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.

Et inimícos meos dedísti mihi dorsum * et odiéntes me disperdidísti.

And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.

Clamavérunt, nec erat qui salvos fáceret, * ad Dóminum, nec exaudívit eos.

They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.

Et commínui eos ut púlverem ante fáciem venti, * ut lutum plateárum contrívi eos.

And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.

Eripuísti me de contradictiónibus pópuli, * constituísti me in caput géntium.

Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.

Pópulus, quem non cognóvi, servívit mihi, * in audítu auris obœdívit mihi.

A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.

Fílii aliéni blandíti sunt mihi, † fílii aliéni inveteráti sunt, * contremuérunt in ábditis suis.

The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.

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.

Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Ephésios

Filii, obœdíte paréntibus vestris in Dómino, hoc enim est iustum. Honóra patrem tuum et matrem, quod est mandátum primum cum promissióne, ut bene sit tibi et sis longævus super terram. Et, patres, nolíte ad iracúndiam provocáre fílios vestros, sed educáte illos in disciplína et correptióne Dómini.

Servi, obœdíte dóminis carnálibus cum timóre et tremóre, in simplicitáte cordis vestri sicut Christo, non ad óculum serviéntes quasi homínibus placéntes, sed ut servi Christi faciéntes voluntátem Dei ex ánimo, cum bona voluntáte serviéntes, sicut Dómino et non homínibus, sciéntes quóniam unusquísque, si quid fécerit bonum, hoc percípiet a Dómino, sive servus sive liber.

Et, dómini, éadem fácite illis, remitténtes minas, sciéntes quia et illórum et vester Dóminus est in cælis, et personárum accéptio non est apud eum.

r. Confitébimur tibi, Deus; confitébimur tibi, * Et invocábimus nomen tuum. v. Narrábo ómnia mirabília tua. Dum accépero tempus, ego iustítiam iudicábo. * Et invocábimus. v. Glória Patri. * Et invocábimus.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Cæsárii Arelaténsis epíscopi (Sermo 72, 3: SC 330, 182-184)

Orántes, fratres caríssimi, quantum póssumus, adiuvánte Dómino laborémus, ut nulla nobis extránea cogitátio subrípere possit; ne forte áliud habeámus in corde, et áliud proferámus ex ore; ne forte dum lingua Deum rogat, cogitátio in rebus váriis occupáta ab oratiónis sensu discédat, et inde adquírat peccátum, unde pótuit habére remédium. Si enim apud áliquam persónam poténtem velles áliquam causam necessáriam allegáre, et súbito avérsus ab illo, média interlocutióne disrúpta, alíquibus te velles occupáre scurrilitátibus, qualem putas iniúriam illi persónæ cum qua loquebáris inférres? Aut quómodo contra te illíus iracúndiam commovéres?

Si ergo cum hómine loquéntes tota intentióne ánimi laborámus, ne áliud cogitántes illi cum quo lóquimur iniúriam fácere videámur, cum Deo in oratióne loquéntes et ante tantam maiestátem peccatórum nostrórum misérias allegántes, non nobis pudet et non erubéscimus captívis sénsibus huc illúcque discúrrere et infélicem mentem multis occupatiónibus a conspéctu divínæ maiestátis abstráhere?

Et ídeo unusquísque, ántequam in oratióne procúmbat, omnes cogitatiónes supérfluas ab ánimi sui intentióne Deo auxiliánte repéllat; ut ánima nostra Sancti Spíritus fervóre succénsa, omne vítium compunctiónis vel oratiónis igne consúmat, et vagas ac voláticas cogitatiónes longe dispérgat; ut solæ virtútes tantum et sanctæ meditatiónes in córdibus nostris locum semper invéniant.

r. Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti et lucérnæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, * Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum quando revertátur a núptiis. v. Vigiláte ergo, quia nescítis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit. * Et vos. v. Glória Patri. * Et vos.

Orémus.

Deus, qui beátum Cæsárium epíscopum in pópulis verbo tuo erudiéndis mira solértia claréscere fecísti, † tríbue, quåsumus, ut quod fidéliter et fírmiter edócuit, * córdibus apértis suscipiámus. Per Dóminum.
