Intonat terræ chorus angelórum cǽlicum carmen, nova sæcla dicens, glóriam Patri, generíque nostro gáudia pacis.
So let the angels' song resound, To usher in the age of grace And tell of glory all around, Proclaiming joy unto our race.

You lie, an infant, ruling earth, Now rule our hearts forevermore, To whom a spotless Maid gave birth, O Christ, our most beloved Lord.

You came to give us heav'n above, As one of us, you took our flesh; Entwine our hearts with bonds of love And with your grace our minds refresh.

Behold we join the angels' song And cry to you with one accord, To whom all hymns of praise belong, The Holy Trinity, one Lord.

Vanitati creatura subiecta est... propter eum qui subiecit eam in spe (Rom 8, 20).
Creation has been subjected to vanity ... because of him who subjected it in hope.

Dixi: «Custódiam vias meas, * ut non delínquam in lingua mea;
I said, I will watch over my ways, so that I sin not with my tongue.
ponam ori meo custódiam, * donec consístit peccátor advérsum me».
I put a guard to my mouth, whilst the sinner rose before me.
Tacens obmútui et sílui absque ullo bono, * et dolor meus renovátus est.
I have been silent, and I have humbled myself, and I have refrained from saying even good things; and my pain was renewed.
Concáluit cor meum intra me, * et in meditatióne mea exársit ignis.
My heart was warmed within me, and whilst I was meditating, a fire was ignited.
Locútus sum in lingua mea: * «Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum;
The word came on my tongue, "Let me know my end, O Lord,
et númerum diérum meórum quis est, * ut sciam quam brevis sit vita mea».
and what is the number of my days, so that I may know how little I have left.
Ecce paucórum palmórum fecísti dies meos, * et spátium vitæ meæ tamquam níhilum ante te.
Behold, Thou hast subjected my days to a limited measure, and my being is like nothingness before Thou.
Etenim univérsa vánitas omnis homo constitútus est. * Etenim ut imágo pertránsit homo.
Yes, every living man is naught but vanity.Yes, man passes by like a phantom,
Étenim vánitas est et concitátur; * thesaurízat et ignórat quis congregábit ea.

Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea, Dómine? * Spes mea apud te est.
And now what is my expectation? Isn't that the Lord? My hope is in Thou.
Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me, * oppróbrium insipiénti ne ponas me.
Deliver me from all my iniquities. Thou hast repaid me the reproach of the fool.
Obmútui et non apériam os meum, * quóniam tu fecísti.
I was silent, and I did not open my mouth, forasmuch as Thou didst it
Amove a me plagas tuas: * ab ictu manus tuæ ego deféci.
Turn away from me Thy blows, under the power of Thy hand, I fainted, when Thou tookest me back
In increpatiónibus, propter iniquitátem, corripuisti hominem, † et tabéscere fecísti sicut tínea desiderabília eius. * Etenim vánitas omnis homo.
Thou hast punished man forasmuch as of his iniquity. And Thou hast dried up his soul like a spider. Yes, it is in vain that every man is anxious.

Hearken, O Lord, my prayer and my supplication;
Ad lácrimas meas ne obsurdéscas, † quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, * peregrínus sicut omnes patres mei.
Be attentive to my tears. Do not be silent, for I am a stranger and a traveler with Thou, like all my fathers.

Give me some rest, that I may be refreshed before I go away and disappear."

Psalm 51
Contra calumniatorem
Against slanderers
Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur (I Cor 1,31).
Let him who glories glory in the Lord
Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es iniquitáte?
Wherefore do thou glory in evil, thou who are valiant in committing iniquity?
Tota die insídias cogitásti; * lingua tua sicut novácula acúta, qui facis dolum.
All day long thy tongue has meditated on injustice; Like a sharp razor, thou practice deception.
Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem, † mendácium magis quam loqui æquitátem. * Dilexísti ómnia verba perditiónis, lingua dolósa.
Thou hast loved malice more than goodness, iniquity more than words of righteousness. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem; † evéllet te et emigrábit te de tabernáculo * et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.
Wherefore God will destroy thou forevermore; He shall pluck thou out of thy tent and take thou out of thy tent, and He shall take away thy root from the land of the living.
Vidébunt iústi et timébunt * et super eum ridébunt:
The righteous will behold it, and will fear; and they will laugh at him, saying:
“Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum refúgium suum, † sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum * et præváluit in insídiis suis.”
Here is the man who did not take God for his protector, but who trusted in the multitude of his riches, and who took advantage of his vanity.
Ego autem sicut virens olíva in domo Dei. † Sperávi in misericórdia Dei * in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.
But I am like a fertile olive tree in the house of God. * I hope in God's mercy forevermore and ever.
Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti; † et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est; * in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum

De Epístula ad Colossénses
Fratres, mortificáte membra quæ sunt super terram: fornicatiónem, immundítiam, libídinem, concupiscéntiam malam et avarítiam quæ est simulacrórum sérvitus, propter quæ venit ira Dei super fílios incredulitátis; in quibus et vos ambulástis aliquándo, cum viverétis in illis. Nunc autem depónite et vos ómnia: iram, indignatiónem, malítiam, blasphémiam, turpem sermónem de ore vestro.
Indúite vos ergo sicut elécti Dei, sancti et dilécti, víscera misericórdiæ, benignitátem, humilitátem, mansuetúdinem, longanimitátem, supportántes ínvicem et donántes vobis ipsis, si quis advérsus áliquem habet querélam; sicut et Dóminus donávit vobis, ita et vos; super ómnia autem hæc: caritátem, quod est vínculum perfectiónis.
Et pax Christi dominétur in córdibus vestris, ad quam et vocáti estis in uno córpore. Et grati estóte. Verbum Christi hábitet in vobis abundánter, in omni sapiéntia docéntes et commonéntes vosmetípsos psalmis, hymnis, cánticis spiritálibus, in grátia cantántes in córdibus vestris Deo.

Ex Oratiónibus sancti Gregórii Nysséni epíscopi (Oratio in diem natalem Christi: PG 46, 1130.1134.1135)
Hæc dies quam fecit Dóminus: exsultémus et lætémur in ea. In hac ténebræ incípiunt mínui, et crescénte splendóre, noctis términi contrahúntur. Neque enim casu aut sponte sua contíngunt hæc, fratres, in hac die sollémni, qua humánæ vitæ splendet divína vita: sed per ea quæ cernúntur mentis áciem intendéntibus, arcánum quoddam osténdit natúra, ac tantum non vocem emíttens docet eos qui audíre possunt, quid sibi velit, quod in advéntu Dómini dies augétur, et nox imminúitur. Mihi enim vídeor eam sic loquéntem exaudíre: Consídera, homo qui hæc áspicis, ex iis quæ vidéntur, ea tibi aperíri quæ recóndita sunt.
Vides noctem ad summam longitúdinem pervenísse, et cum prógredi ultérius néqueat, consístere, ac régredi? Cógita, exitiósam peccáti noctem, quæ malis ómnibus ártibus aucta ad summum malítiæ cúmulum vénerat, hódie recísam esse, ne lóngius sérperet, atque illuc deínceps rédigi, ut plane defíciat, ac deleátur. Vides uberióres lucis rádios, et solem sólito sublimiórem? Cógita veræ lucis præséntiam Evangélii rádiis totum orbem terrárum illustráre. Quod autem humánæ vitæ non ab inítio, sed ab extrémis tempóribus Dóminus apparúerit, hanc mérito fortásse causam quíspiam existimábit, quod qui, malítiam ut tólleret, humánam vitam erat ingressúrus, exspectávit necessário, ut omne ab inimíco satum propagatúmque peccátum germináret, ac tum demum, ut légitur in evangélio, radíci secúrim ádmovit.
Audis Isaíam clamántem: Puer natus est nobis et fílius datus est nobis. Disce ab eódem prophéta, quómodo natus sit puer, quómodo datus sit fílius. Num iuxta natúræ legem? Mínime vero, inquit, légibus enim natúræ non paret, qui natúræ Dóminus est. Quómodo ígitur natus est puer? Dic. Ecce, inquit, virgo in útero concípiet et páriet fílium, et vocábitur nomen eius Emmánuel. Quod si interpretéris, signíficat Nobíscum Deus. O rem admirándam! Virgo mater effícitur, et pérmanet virgo.
r. Párvulus natus est nobis, et Fílius datus est nobis, et factus est principátus super húmerum eius ; * Et vocábitur Admirábilis, Deus, Fortis. v. Multiplicábitur eius impérium, et pacis non erit finis. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.
Orémus.
Concéde nobis, omnípotens Deus, † ut salutáre tuum, quod ad redemptiónem mundi luce nova cælórum procéssit, * nostris semper innovándis córdibus oriátur. Per Dóminum.
Grant unto us, Almighty God, that Thy salvation, which came for the redemption of the world with a new light from heaven, may evermore be born in our renewed hearts.
