Childlike trust in the Lord
Discite a me, quia mitis sum et humilis corde (Mt 11, 29).

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

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.

Keep in remembrance, O Lord, David, and all his meekness,

Iurávit Dóminus David veritátem * et non recédet ab ea:
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,
If thy children keep My covenant and the precepts that I will teach them,
fílii eórum usque in sæculum * sedébunt super sedem tuam».
and their sons will sit on thy throne forevermore.
Quóniam elégit Dóminus Sion, * desiderávit eam in habitatiónem sibi:
For the Lord has chosen Zion; He chose her for His home.

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

De libro Génesis
Recordátus Deus Nœ cunctorúmque animántium et ómnium iumentórum quæ erant cum eo in arca, addúxit spíritum super terram, et imminútæ sunt aquæ. Et clausi sunt fontes abýssi et cataráctæ cæli, et prohíbitæ sunt plúviæ de cælo. Reversæque sunt aquæ de terra eúntes et redeúntes et cœpérunt mínui post centum quinquagínta dies. Requievítque arca mense séptimo, décima séptima die mensis, super montes Ararat. At vero aquæ ibant et decrescébant usque ad décimum mensem; décimo enim mense, prima die mensis, apparuérunt cacúmina móntium. Cumque transíssent quadragínta dies, apériens Nœ fenéstram arcæ quam fécerat, dimísit corvum; qui egrediebátur éxiens et rédiens, donec siccaréntur aquæ super terram.
Emísit quoque colúmbam a se, ut vidéret si iam cessássent aquæ super fáciem terræ. Quæ, cum non invenísset ubi requiésceret pes eius, revérsa est ad eum in arcam; aquæ enim erant super univérsam terram. Extendítque manum et apprehénsam íntulit in arcam. Exspectátis autem ultra septem diébus áliis, rursum dimísit colúmbam ex arca. At illa venit ad eum ad vésperam portans ramum olívæ viréntibus fóliis in ore suo. Intelléxit ergo Nœ quod cessássent aquæ super terram. Exspectavítque nihilóminus septem álios dies; et emísit colúmbam, quæ non est revérsa ultra ad eum.
Egréssus est ergo Nœ et fílii eius, uxor illíus et uxóres filiórum eius cum eo. Sed et ómnia animántia, iuménta, volatília et reptília quæ reptant super terram, secúndum genus suum egréssa sunt de arca. Ædificávit autem Nœ altáre Dómino; et tollens de cunctis pecóribus mundis et volúcribus mundis óbtulit holocáusta super altáre. Odoratúsque est Dóminus odórem suavitátis et locútus est Dóminus ad cor suum: " Nequáquam ultra maledícam terræ propter hómines, quia cogitátio humáni cordis in malum prona est ab adulescéntia sua. Non ígitur ultra percútiam omnem ánimam vivéntem, sicut feci. Cunctis diébus terræ, seméntis et messis, frigus et æstus, æstas et hiems, dies et nox non requiéscent. "
r. Locútus est Dóminus ad Nœ, dicens: Egrédere de arca, tu et * Uxor tua, et fílii tui et uxóres filiórum tuórum tecum. v. Benedixítque eis, dicens: Créscite et multiplicámini et repléte terram. * Uxor tua. v. Glória Patri. * Uxor tua.

Ex Sermónibus Adámi Perséniæ abbátis (Fragm. 1: PL 211, 743.744)
Descéndit Christus sane per virgíneum corpus, descéndit sicut plúvia in vellus; et sicut stillicídia stillántia super terram, descendérunt gratiárum flúmina in Maríam. Aspérges me, Dómina mea, hoc hyssópo, et mundábor, lavábis me rore isto tibi de corde Patris infúso, et super nivem dealbábor. Tu tota munda, tota cándida, tota divíni roris aspersióne complúta, et de inviolábili útero Agnum singuláris innocéntiæ paris, et de inadmissíbili véllere sanctórum ánimas caléfacis.
Per tua víscera summa puritáte innocéntia, plena miseratiónum affluéntia, flúvius miseratiónum Christus descéndit, qui inúndans in dilúvium totíus grátiæ, totíus mundi sordes abstérsit. Per verba tua lac et mel summæ dulcédinis distillántia, in virum perféctum noster párvulus adolévit, qui in fortitúdine patiéntiæ suæ ónera nostræ insufficiéntiæ supportávit: Vere languóres nostros ipse tulit et dolóres nostros ipse portávit, et úmeros quibus portáret ex te hábuit , dum corpus passíbile ex tua carne suscépit.
Per te descéndit, per te párvulus ad húmiles venit, qui te in causa nostra advocátam constítuit, qui teípsam pro imménso múnere mundo dedit. Te ad nos veniéndi viam elégit, te nobis in repatriándi sémitam ordinávit. O via expers asperitátis et durítiæ, expers ignorántiæ et erróris! O via commúnis salútis, expers iniquitátis et malítiæ, expers moléstiæ et labóris! Tota es suávis et clara, tota dulcis et recta, mitis et pacífica, quæ et nobis illuminatiónem nostrórum córdium de corde Patris addúcis, et nobis loquens ad cor, corda credéntium in te trahis.
Orémus.
Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium; ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genetrícis memóriam ágimus; intercessiónis eius auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Dóminum.
