GENERAL RUBRICS OF THE BREVIARY AND MISSAL CHAPTER 1 GENERAL RULES 1. The following rubrics concern the Roman rite. 2. The term 'calendar' includes both the calendar in use in the universal Church and particular calendars. 3. The general rules which follow apply both to the Breviary and the Missal. There are, however, some exceptions given in particular rubrics, which occur here and there in the Breviary and Missal edited in accordance with the rubrics. CHAPTER 2 THE LITURGICAL DAY IN GENERAL 4. The liturgical day is the day sanctified by the liturgical rites, especially the Eucharistic Sacrifice and the public prayer of the Church, that is the Divine Office; it runs from midnight to midnight. 5. The celebration of the liturgical day normally (per se) runs from Matins to Compline. But there are more solemn days, whose Office begins at I vespers on the preceding day. There is also an incomplete liturgical celebration or a simple commemoration in the Office and Mass of the occurring liturgical day. 6. Each day is either a Sunday, or feria, or vigil, or feast, or octave according to the calendar and the precedence of liturgical days. 7. Precedence among the individual liturgical days in invariably determined by the special table (n. 91). 8. Liturgical days are of first, second, third or fourth class. CHAPTER 3 SUNDAYS 9. The term 'Sunday' means the Lord's day, which occurs at the beginning of each week.

10. Sundays are I or II class. 11. Sundays I class are: a) I-IV Advent; b) I-IV Lent; c) I-II Passiontide; d) Easter Sunday; e) Low Sunday; f) Pentecost or Whit Sunday. Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday are also feasts I class with octave. 12. All other Sundays are II class. 13. The Office of Sunday begins at I Vespers on the preceding Saturday, and finishes after Compline on Sunday. 14. Sunday is celebrated on the day itself, according to the rubrics. The Office and Mass of an impeded Sunday are neither anticipated nor resumed. 15. Sunday I class takes precedence over all feasts in occurrence. The feast of the Immaculate Conception of our Lady, however, takes precedence over the Sunday of Advent on which it falls. In concurrence the rules given in nn. 104-105 are to be observed. 16. Sunday II class takes precedence over feasts II class in occurrence. But: a) feast of the Lord I or II class, falling on a Sunday II class, takes the place of the Sunday with all rights and privileges; accordingly the Sunday is not commemorated; b) Sunday II class takes precedence over All Souls' Day. In concurrence the rules given in nn. 104-105 are to be observed. 17. Normally feasts cannot be permanently fixed on a Sunday. These are excepted: a) feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, celebrated on the Sunday between 2nd and 5th January (otherwise on 2nd January); b) feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, celebrated on first Sunday after Epiphany; c) feast of the Blessed Trinity, celebrated on first Sunday after Pentecost;

General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal d) feast of Christ the King, celebrated on last Sunday of October; e) feasts of the Lord I class, which in particular calendars are now fixed on a Sunday II class. These feasts take the place of the Sunday on which they fall with all rights and privileges; hence, the Sunday is not commemorated. 18. The Sundays after Epiphany which are impeded by Septuagesima are transferred until after XXIII Sunday after Pentecost, in this order: a) when there are 25 Sundays after Pentecost, VI Sunday after Epiphany is assigned to XXIV Sunday; b) when there are 26 Sundays, the V after Epiphany is assigned to XXIV Sunday; and VI is assigned to XXV; c) when there are 27 Sundays, IV after Epiphany is assigned to XXIV Sunday; V is assigned to XXV; and VI is assigned to XXVI; d) when there are 28 Sundays, III after Epiphany is assigned to XXIV Sunday; IV is assigned to XXV; V is assigned to XXVI; and VI is assigned to XXVII. The Sunday which is set down as XXIV after Pentecost is always put in the last place, omitting, if need be, any others for which there happens to be no place. 19. The first Sunday of the month means the first one to occur in the month, namely between 1st and 7th of the month; the last Sunday is that which immediately precedes the 1st of the following month. Likewise, in calculating the first Sunday of the months of August, September, October and November for purposes of the occurring Scriptural lessons, the first Sunday will be that which falls between 1st of 7th of the month. 20. First Sunday of Advent is that which falls on 30th November, or is nearest to it. CHAPTER 4 FERIAS 21. The term 'feria' means the different days of the week apart from Sunday. 22. Ferias are first, second, third or fourth class.

LL

23. Ferias I class are: a) Ash Wednesday; b) all the ferias of Holy Week. These ferias take precedence over all feasts, and admit no commemoration, except a single privileged one. 24. Ferias II class are: a) ferias of Advent from 17th to 23rd December; b) Ember Days of Advent, Lent and September. These ferias take precedence over all particular feasts II class; and if impeded, they must be commemorated. 25. Ferias III class are: a) ferias of Lent and Passiontide, from Thursday after Ash Wednesday to Saturday before the II Sunday of Passiontide inclusive, which have not been mentioned above; these take precedence over feasts III class; b) ferias of Advent to the 16th December inclusive, not mentioned above; these give place to feasts III class. These ferias, if impeded, must be commemorated. 26. All ferias not mentioned in nn. 23-25, are ferias IV class; if impeded, these are never commemorated. 27. The Office of a feria begins at Matins and finishes normally after Compline; but the Office of Saturday, except the Office of Holy Saturday, finishes after none. CHAPTER 5 VIGILS 28. The term 'vigil' means the liturgical day which precedes a feast, and which is by nature a preparation for it. But the Vigil of Easter, since it is not a liturgical day, is celebrated in its own special way, or as a nocturnal vigil. 29. Vigils are first, second or third class. 30. Vigils I class are: a) vigil of Christmas, which in occurrence takes the place of IV Sunday of Advent, hence the Sunday is not commemorated; b) vigil of Pentecost.

LLL

Vigils II class are: a) vigil of the Ascension of our Lord; b) vigil of the Assumption of our Lady; c) vigil of the Birthday of St. John the Baptist; d) vigil of SS. Peter and Paul, Apostles.

This vigil takes precedence over liturgical days IV class; and if impeded, it is commemorated according to the rubrics. 33. Vigils II or II class are omitted entirely when they fall on any Sunday, or feast I class, or if the feast which they precede is transferred to another day or reduced to a commemoration. 34. The Office of a vigil begins at Matins and finishes when the Office of the following feast begins. CHAPTER 6 FEASTS AND THE CALENDAR A - The nature and quality of feasts 35. The term 'feast' means a liturgical day on which the public worship of the Church is directed in a special way to the celebration of the divine mysteries, or to the veneration of our Lady, the Angels, Saints or Beati. 36. Feasts are first, second or third class. 37. The procedure for the celebration of feasts is: a) feasts I class are counted among the more solemn days, and their Office begins at I Vespers on the preceding day; b) feasts II and III class have an Office which normally runs from Matins to Compline of the day itself; c) feasts of the Lord II class acquire I Vespers, whenever, in occurrence, they take the place of a Sunday II class. 38. Feasts are universal and particular; and particular are proper or by Indult.

39. Universal feasts are those which are inscribed in the calendar of the Universal Church by the Holy See. These feasts must be celebrated according to the rubrics by all who follow the Roman rite. 40. Particular feasts are those which are inscribed in particular calendars by law or by indult of the Holy See. These feasts must be celebrated according to the rubrics by all who are bound by that calendar, and they can be deleted from the calendar or changed in rank only by a special indult of the Holy See. 41. Particular feasts inscribed in the calendar by law (ipso iure) are the proper feasts of: a) each nation and ecclesiastical or civil region or province; b) each diocese or ecclesiastical territory ruled by a 'local Ordinary' (n. 43); c) each place or town, or city (n. 44); d) each church, or public or semi-public oratory that takes the place of a church (n. 45); e) each Order or Congregation (n. 46). 42. The proper feasts of each nation and ecclesiastical or civil region or province are: a) feast of the duly constituted principal Patron (I class); b) feast of the duly constituted secondary Patron (II class). 43. The proper feasts of each diocese or ecclesiastical territory ruled by a 'local Ordinary' are: a) feast of the duly constituted principal Patron (I class); b) anniversary of the Dedication of the Cathedral (I class); c) feast of the duly constituted secondary Patron (II class); d) feasts of Saints and Beati, who have been duly inscribed in the Martyrology or its Appendix, and who have some special connection with the diocese, such as birth, prolonged residence, death (II or III class or commemoration). 44. Proper feasts of each place or town or city are: a) feast of the duly constituted principal Patron (I class); b) feast of the duly constituted secondary Patron (II class);

General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal 45. Proper feasts of each church or public or semipublic oratory that takes the place of a church are: a) anniversary of the Dedication, if they are consecrated (I class); b) feast of the Titular, if they are consecrated or at least solemnly blessed (I class); c) feast of a Saint, duly inscribed in the Martyrology or its Appendix, whose body is preserved there (II class); d) feast of a Beatus, likewise duly inscribed in the Martyrology or its Appendix, whose body is preserved there (III class). 46.

Particular feasts by indult are feasts which are inscribed in particular calendars by indult of the Holy See. B - The Calendar and its feasts 48. The calendar is universal and particular or proper. 49. The universal calendar is the calendar for the use of the Universal Church, and this governs the Roman Breviary and Missal. 50. The particular or proper calendar is diocesan or religious; and is made up by inserting particular feasts into the universal calendar. The permanent arrangement of this particular calendar is to be made respectively by the local Ordinary or by the religious Superior General after consulting his general Chapter or Council, and

LY

it must be approved by the Sacred Congregation of Rites. 51. Each diocese and any other ecclesiastical territory ruled by a 'local Ordinary' has a diocesan calendar. 52. In the diocesan calendar, in addition to universal feasts, the following must be inscribed: a) feasts proper (n. 42) and by indult to the whole nation or ecclesiastical or civil region or province; b) feasts proper (n. 43) and by indult to the whole diocese. 53 From the diocesan calendar is made up: a) the calendar of each place, by adding feasts proper (n. 44) and by indult; b) the calendar of each church or oratory, by adding likewise the local feasts proper (n. 44) and by indult, and the feasts proper (n. 45) and by indult to the church itself; c) the calendar of Congregations of Religious Women or Institutes of Pontifical right, which are not bound to the recitation of the Divine Office; and Congregations of diocesan right, by adding the local feasts proper (n. 44) and by indult; and also other proper (nn. 45 & 46) and by indult to themselves. 54. The following have a calendar of religious: a) Regular Orders and Nuns and Sisters of the same Order, also Tertiaries aggregated to them who live in community and take simple vows; b) Religious Congregations or Institutes of both sexes of Pontifical right, and constituted under the government of a Superior General, if they are bound to the recitation of the Divine Office by any title. 55. In the calendar of religious, in addition to the universal feasts, feasts proper (n. 46) and by indult to the Order or Congregation must be inscribed. 56. From this calendar of religious is made up: a) the calendar of each religious province, by adding the feasts proper (n. 46) and by indult; b) the calendar of each church or oratory, by adding likewise the feasts proper (n. 45) and by indult, and also those mentioned in the following paragraph; this

Y


is also called the calendar of the religious house. 57. In each diocese and place, the religious, including also those who follow a rite other than the Roman rite, are obliged to celebrate together with the diocesan clergy; a) the feast of the principal Patron of the nation, the ecclesiastical or civil region or province, the diocese, the place or town or city (I class); b) anniversary of the Dedication of the Cathedral (I class); c) other feasts, if any, actually observed as holy days, with the same rank in which they are inscribed in the diocesan calendar. 58. In celebrating the feasts of Saints of the Order or Congregation, religious are bound to conform to the diocesan clergy in regard to the day and more proper Office, wherever these Saints are venerated as principal Patrons (n. 57 a). Likewise, if the feasts of Saints or Beati of an Order or Congregation are celebrated by the clergy of some diocese or place with a higher rank or more proper Office, the religious of the same Order or Congregation in the place may also celebrate the feasts with the higher grade or more proper Office, provided that the feasts are inscribed in both calendars on the same day. C - The Proper Day of Feasts 59. Feasts already existing in the calendar are to be celebrated on the day on which they are now found inscribed. 60. For the introduction of new universal feasts, the following are to be observed: a) feasts of Saints are ordinarily assigned to their 'birthday' (dies natalicius), that is the day on which the Saint was born into eternal life; if for any reason this day is impeded, the feasts are to be assigned to a day fixed by the Holy See, and accordingly this will be regarded as the 'quasi-birthday'; b) for other feasts, the day will be fixed by the Holy See. 61. For the introduction of new particular feasts, the following are to be observed:

a) the proper feasts of Saints and Beati are to be fixed ordinarily on their 'birthday', unless it is impeded or the Holy See determines otherwise. But the proper feasts of a place or church, which are also inscribed in the universal or diocesan calendar or in that of religious, but with a lower rank, are to be celebrated on the same day as in the universal or diocesan calendar or that of religious; b) if the 'birthday' is unknown, the feasts are to be fixed, with the approval of the Holy See, on a day, which is always IV class in the calendar of the diocese or religious; c) but if the 'birthday' is permanently impeded for the whole diocese or Religious Order or proper Church, the feasts are to be fixed in such a particular calendar in this way: if they are I or II class, they are to be fixed on the nearest day following which is not I or II class; if III class, they are to be fixed on the nearest day that is free from other feasts or Offices of equal or higher rank; d) particular feasts by indult are to be inscribed in the calendar on the day assigned by the Holy See in the grant. 62. Saints and Beati who for any reason are inscribed in the calendar with a single feast, are always celebrated together as found in the Breviary, whenever they are celebrated with the same rank, even though one or other of them may be more proper. Accordingly: a) if one or several of these Saints are to be celebrated with a feast I class, the Office is of these only, and the companions are omitted; b) if one or several of these Saints or Beati are more proper and celebrated with a higher rank, the whole Office is of those more proper, with a commemoration of the companions] CHAPTER 7 OCTAVES A - Octaves in General 63. An octave is a celebration, prolonged for either successive days, of the great feasts.

YL

C - Octave II Class 67. The Octave II class is the octave of Christmas. The days within the octave are II class; but the octave day is I class. 68. The octave of Christmas is arranged in a special way, namely: a) 26th December is feast of St. Stephen, Protomartyr (II class); b) 27th December is feast of St. John, Apostle and Evangelist (II class); c) 28th December is feast of the Holy Innocents, Martyrs (II class); d) 29th December is commemoration of St. Thomas, Bishop and Martyr; e) 31st December is commemoration of St. Silvester, Pope and Confessor; f) only those particular feasts are admitted which are I class and in honour of the Saints inscribed in the universal calendar on these days, even though merely a commemoration; others are transferred until after the octave. 69. On the Sunday within the octave of Christmas, which falls between 26th and 31st December, the Office of the Sunday is always celebrated with a commemoration of any feast that may occur, according to the rubrics, unless the Sunday falls on a feast I class, in which case the Office is of the feast, with a commemoration of the Sunday. 70. The special rules for arranging the Office and Mass during the octave of Christmas are found in the rubrics of the Breviary and Missal. CHAPTER 8 THE SEASONS OF THE YEAR A - Season of Advent 71. The sacred season of Advent runs from I Vespers of I Sunday of Advent to None of Vigil of Christmas inclusive.

CHAPTER 9 SATURDAY OFFICE OF OUR LADY 78. On Saturdays on which an Office of a feria IV class occurs, the Saturday Office of our Lady is celebrated. 79. The Saturday Office of our Lady begins at Matins and finishes after None. CHAPTER 10 THE GREATER AND LESSER LITANIES A - The Greater Litanies 80. The Greater Litanies are fixed on 25th April; but if Easter Sunday or Monday after Easter falls on that day, they are transferred to the following Tuesday. 81. The Greater Litanies are not mentioned in the Office, but only in the Mass. Their commemoration is not considered a "seasonal" commemoration (de tempore). 82. According to the conditions and customs of the church and place, of which matters the local Ordinary is the judge, a procession is held on this day, and during it the Litany of the Saints is said (but without being doubled), along with its prayers. 83. If, however, the procession cannot be held, local Ordinaries are to arrange special public prayers, during which the Litany of the Saints and the other prayers customary in the procession are said. 84. All, who are bound to the recitation of the Divine Office, and who are not present at the procession or special public prayers mentioned in the preceding paragraph, are obliged to recite, in

Latin, on this day the Litany of the Saints with its prayers. 85. If the Litany of the Saints and its prayers, according to local custom, are said with the faithful in the vernacular during the procession or other special public prayers, those who are bound to the recitation of the Divine Office, and who are duly present at these public prayers, are not obliged to repeat these prayers in Latin. 86. The Mass of the Rogations is to be said regularly at the conclusion of the procession, according to the norms laid down in nn. 346-347. Indeed, it is appropriate that the Mass of the Rogations be also said after the special public prayers which take the place of the procession, even though they are held in the evening. B - The Lesser Litanies or Rogations 87. The Lesser Litanies or Rogations are normally (per se) fixed on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before the feast of our Lord's Ascension. Local Ordinaries have authority to transfer them to another three successive days better suited to the peculiarities, customs or needs of the area. 88. The Lesser Litanies are not mentioned in the Office, but only in the Mass which is associated with the procession or other special public prayers. 89. In regard to the procession or other special public prayers and the Mass or commemoration, what has been laid down above for the Greater Litanies is to be observed (nn. 81-83 & 86). 90. The Litany of the Saints with its prayers are said on these days only in the procession or other public prayers (cfr. n. 85). Accordingly, those who are bound to the recitation of the Divine Office, and who are not present at the procession or other special public prayers, are not obliged to recite the Litany of the Saints with its prayers on these days.

LITURGICAL DAYS IV CLASS

CHAPTER 12 THE OCCURRENCE OF LITURGICAL DAYS 92. Occurrence is the coinciding of two or more Offices on one and the same day. Occurrence is accidental when a movable liturgical day and a fixed liturgical day coincide only at given intervals of years; but it is permanent when two liturgical days coincide each year. 93. The effect of occurrences is that the Office of the liturgical day of lower rank gives place to the Office of higher rank. This may be done by omitting, or commemorating, or transferring, or reassigning the less important Office, as indicated in the following paragraphs. 94. A commemoration fixed for a given day is not transferred or reassigned with the transfer or reassignment of the feast, but is made on its proper day or omitted, according to the rubrics. CHAPTER 13 THE ACCIDENTAL OCCURRENCE AND TRANSFER OF LITURGICAL DAYS 95. The right of transfer to another day, because of accidental occurrence with a liturgical day having a higher place in the table of precedence, belongs only to feasts I class. Other feasts, accidentally impeded by an Office of higher rank, are either commemorated, or omitted

completely that year, according to the rubrics. But if two feasts of the same divine Person, or two feasts of the same Saint or Beatus fall on the same day, the Office is of the feast which has the higher place in the table of precedence, and the other is omitted. 96. A feast I class, impeded by a day which has a higher place in the table of precedence, is transferred to the nearest day following which is not I or II class. However: a) When the feast of the Annunciation of our Lady must be transferred after Easter, it is transferred, as to its proper place, to Monday after Low Sunday. b) When All Souls' Day falls on a Sunday, it is transferred, as to its proper place, to the Monday following. 97. If several feasts I class fall on the same day, on the day itself the feast that has the higher place in the table of precedence is celebrated; and the others are transferred in the order in which they are inscribed in the table of precedence. 98. Likewise, when several feasts I class, which fall on successive days, happen to be transferred, the order in which they are inscribed in the table of precedence is to be retained; and in cases of equality, the Office first impeded takes precedence. 99. Transferred feasts have the same rank as in their proper place.

General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal CHAPTER 14 THE PERMANENT OCCURRENCE OF LITURGICAL DAYS AND THEIR REASSIGNMENT 100. The right to be reassigned (Ius repositionis) to another day, because of permanent occurrence with a liturgical day which has a higher place in the table of precedence, belongs to all feasts I and II class, and also to particular feasts III class, occurring outside Advent and Lent, which are impeded in the whole diocese or the whole Order or Congregation, or in a proper church. But feasts III class of the universal Church, permanently impeded in a particular calendar, or feasts III class of the diocese, or Order or Congregation so impeded only in some churches, are permanently either commemorated or completely omitted, according to the rubrics. 101. If the feasts that must be reassigned are I or II class, they are to be assigned to the nearest following day, which is not I or II class; if they are III class, they are to be assigned to the nearest day following free from other Offices of the same or higher rank. 102. The day, to which a permanently impeded feast is reassigned, is regarded as its proper day, and on this day the reassigned feast is celebrated with the same rank as in its proper place. CHAPTER 15 THE CONCURRENCE OF LITURGICAL DAYS 103. Concurrence means the coinciding of Vespers of the current liturgical day with I Vespers of the following liturgical day. 104. In concurrence, Vespers of the liturgical day of higher class take priority, and the others are commemorated or not, according to the rubrics. 105. But when liturgical days of the same class concur at Vespers, the complete II Vespers of the current Office are said, and the following Office is commemorated, according to the rubrics.

[

CHAPTER 16 COMMEMORATIONS 106. What is laid down here concerning commemorations applies both to the Mass and to the Office, either in occurrence or in concurrence. 107. Commemorations are either privileged or ordinary. 108. Privileged commemorations are made at Lauds and Vespers and also in all Masses; but ordinary commemorations are made only at Lauds, in conventual Masses and in all low Masses. 109. Privileged commemorations are commemorations of: a) Sunday; b) liturgical day I class; c) days within the octave of Christmas; d) Ember Days in September; e) ferias of Advent, Lent and Passiontide; f) Greater Litanies, at Mass. All other commemorations are ordinary commemorations. 110. The commemoration of St. Paul is always made in the Office and Mass of St. Peter, and vice versa. This commemoration is termed inseparable; and the two prayers are considered to be united in such a way that, in counting the number of prayers, they are reckoned only as one. Accordingly: a) in the Office of St. Peter or St. Paul, the prayer of the other Apostle is added at Lauds and Vespers, under the one conclusion, to the prayer of the day, without antiphon or verse; b) in the Mass of St. Peter or St. Paul, the prayer of the other Apostle is added, under the one conclusion, to the prayer of the day; c) but whenever the prayer of one Apostle must be added as a commemoration (ad modum commemorationis), the other prayer is added immediately to this, before all other commemorations. 111. The rule for allowing commemorations is: a) on liturgical days I class and in sung Masses (in cantu), which are not conventual, no commemoration is allowed, except a privileged one;

[L


b)

on Sundays II class, only one commemoration, namely of a feast II class, is allowed, and this is omitted if a privileged commemoration must be made; c) on other liturgical days II class, only one commemoration is allowed, namely, either one privileged or one ordinary; d) on liturgical days III and IV class, only two commemorations are allowed. 112. In the matter of commemorations and prayers, the following must also be observed: a) the Office, Mass or commemoration of some feast or mystery of a divine Person excludes a commemoration or prayer of another feast or mystery of the same divine Person; b) the Office, Mass or commemoration of a Sunday excludes a commemoration or prayer of a feast or mystery of the Lord, and vice versa; c) the Office, Mass or commemoration of the season excludes another commemoration of the season; d) likewise, the Office, Mass or commemoration of our Lady or of some Saint or Beatus excludes another commemoration or prayer in which the intercession of our Lady or the same Saint or Beatus is sought; however, this does not apply to the prayer of the Sunday or feria in which the invocation of the same Saint occurs. 113. The commemoration of the season is made first. In allowing and arranging other commemorations, the order of the table of precedence is followed. 114. Any commemoration that exceeds the number set down for the individual liturgical days is omitted. CHAPTER 17 THE CONCLUSION OF PRAYERS 115. The conclusion of prayers both in Mass and in the Office is as follows: a) If the prayer is addressed to the Father, it concludes: Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sŴcula sæculo-

rum. Amen.; or in English: Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen. b) if the prayer is addressed to the Father, but the Son is mentioned at the beginning, it concludes: Per eundem Dominum nostrum etc., as above; or in English: Through the same Lord etc., as above. c) if the prayer is addressed to the Father, but the Son is mentioned at the end, it concludes: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sŴcula sæculorum. Amen; or in English: Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen. d) if the prayer is addressed to the Son, it concludes: Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sŴcula sæculorum. Amen; or in English: Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen. e) if the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the prayer, in the conclusion is said: “Spiritus eiusdem unitate”, etc. 116. Other special conclusions sometimes indicated in liturgical books must also be retained. CHAPTER 18 THE COLOURS OF VESTMENS A - The Colours of Vestments in General 117. The vestments of the altar, celebrant and ministers must be of the colour in keeping with the Office and Mass of the day, or with another Mass to be celebrated, according to the use of the Roman Church, which by custom uses five colours: white, red, green, violet and black. However, indults and lawful customs for the use of other colours remain in force. Wherever in missionary territories, because of an established and genuine native custom, the symbolism of any of the liturgical colours of the Roman Church conflicts with the symbolism

General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal natural to that people, the Episcopal Conference of the region or territory may be given authority, if deemed advisable, to substitute for the incongruous colour another that is more suitable. However, this is not to be done without reference to the Sacred Congregation of Rites. 118. Concerning the colour of vestments in low votive Masses IV class, what is laid down in n. 323 is to be consulted. B - White Vestments 119.

Finally white vestments are used on Maundy Thursday, in the Mass of the Chrism and in the Mass of the Lord's Supper, and also at the Easter Vigil, by the deacon, for the singing of the Exsultet, and, by the celebrant, for the renewal of the baptismal promises.

133. At Mass, the priest celebrant always wears a chasuble (planeta seu casula). 134. Bishops, and others who enjoy the use of pontificals, wear the chasuble over the dalmatic and tunicle when they celebrate solemnly. Likewise, a bishop wears the chasuble over the dalmatic and tunicle even at a low Mass: a) for the consecration of a bishop; b) for the conferring of sacred orders; c) for the blessing of an abbot; d) for the blessing of an abbess; e) for the blessing and consecration of virgins; f) for the consecration of a church or altar. However, the bishop and others mentioned above may, for a reasonable cause, dispense with the tunicle and dalmatic under the chasuble. 135. A cope is used: a) at the Office of Lauds and Vespers, when they are said solemnly; b) for blessings which take place at the altar; c) in processions; d) for the absolution over a body or catafalque; e) by the assistant priest at a Pontifical Mass; f) at the 'solemn prayers' in the Liturgy of the Passion and Death of our Lord on Good Friday; g) at the Easter Vigil. 136. When the celebrant is wearing a cope, he never uses a maniple; and if no cope is available, the priest wears an alb and stole, without chasuble and maniple, for blessings which are given at the altar. 137. The dalmatic and tunicle are worn by deacon and subdeacon respectively, when they assist the priest: a) at Mass; b) at blessings at the altar; c) in processions. However, when the priest celebrant is not wearing a cope, the ministers do not wear dalmatic and tunicle. Folded chasubles and broad stoles are no longer used.

GENERAL RUBRICS OF THE ROMAN BREVIARY CHAPTER 1 GENERAL RULES 138. The Canonical Hours of the Roman Breviary are: Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline. Of these, Matins, Lauds and Vespers are called the Great Hours; Prime, Terce, Sext, None and Compline are called the Little Hours. Compline is often treated separately by the rubrics. 139. The obligation to recite the Divine Office includes the whole daily round of Canonical Hours. 140. The Divine Office is discharged either in choir or in common, or alone. It is said in choir, if it is discharged by a community bound to choir by ecclesiastical law; in common, if this is done by a community not bound to choir. 141. The rules which follow apply both to the discharge of the Divine Office in choir or in common (even though it is done only by two or three individuals), and to its discharge alone, unless the contrary is expressly stated. CHAPTER 2 THE TIMES FOR SAYING THE CANONICAL HOURS 142. The Canonical Hours of the Divine Office are arranged, of their nature, to sanctify the different hours of the natural day. Accordinly, it is conducive to the genuine sanctification of the day and to the recitation of the Hours with spiritual profit, if they are discharged at the times which closely correspond to the true time of each of the Canonical Hours. 143. However, to satisfy the obligation of reciting the Divine Office, it suffices that all the Canonical Hours be said within the space of twenty-four hours. 144. Matins, for a just reason, may be anticipated in the afternoon of the preceding day, but not before 2 PM.

145. Lauds, since they are morning prayer, are said first thing in the morning in choir and in common; and it is appropriate to keep to this also in reciting them alone. 146. Vespers, even during Lent and Passiontide, are said in the afternoon in choir and in common; and it is appropriate to keep to this also in reciting them alone. 147. The most suitable time for reciting Compline, by all who are bound to the recitation of the Divine Office, and especially in religious communities, is as the last prayer at the end of the day, even when, for a just reason, Matins of the following day have been already anticipated. In these circumstances, the Pater noster, otherwise to be said after the verse Adiutorium nostrum, is omitted and in its place, in choir and in common, the examination of conscience is made for a reasonable space of time; the Confiteor and the rest are then said as usual; it is appropriate to keep to this also when reciting it alone. CHAPTER 3 THE CALENDAR TO BE USED IN RECITING THE DIVINE OFFICE 148. The Divine Office must be discharged according to the proper calendar, or, when there is no proper calendar, according to the calendar of the universal Church, as indicated in the following paragraphs. 149. Prebenderies are bound to follow the calendar of their own church (n. 53 b). 150. The diocesan clergy must follow the calendar of the church or oratory to which they are permanently (stabiliter) attached (n. 53 b); if they are not permanently attached to any church or oratory, or if they are living outside their diocese for a long period, they must follow the calendar of their diocese, together with the local feasts of the place where they have a domicile (n.

[Y

General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary

44), or the local calendar of the place where they are living. 151. Religious of both sexes bound to choir are to keep the calendar of their own house (n. 56 b), or the calendar of the house in which they are actually staying, when they are present in choir in another house of the Order. 152. Religious having a proper calendar, but not bound to choir, are to keep the calendar of their own house (n. 56 b), or the calendar of the house in which they are actually staying, when they recite the Office in common in another house of their Congregation or Institute. 153. Religious who do not have a proper calendar keep the calendar of their own church (n. 53 b), but with the addition of feasts proper and by indult (n. 46). 154. In seminaries and diocesan colleges of clerics entrusted to religious, the local calendar must be used for the discharge of the Divine Office in common, either by the clerics, or by the religious who recite the Office in common with the clerics (n. 53 a), with the addition of the feasts of the seminary or college church (n. 45), and, moreover, with the right to add the feasts of the Titular and SaintFounder of the religious to whom the government of the seminary has been entrusted. 155. In seminaries and colleges of clerics which are interdiocesan, regional, national and international, the calendar of the universal Church must be used in the discharge of the Divine Office in common, with the addition of the feasts of the principal Patron of the nation, the ecclesiastical or civil province or region, the diocese, the town or city, the anniversary of the Dedication of the cathedral of the diocese, and the other feasts, if any, actually observed as holydays, together with the feasts of the seminary or college church (n. 45). If the government of these seminaries has been entrusted to religious, the calendar of the universal Church must be used even by the religious who discharge their Office with the clerics in common, but with the right to add the feasts of the Titular of the Order or

Congregation, and also of the SaintFounder of the religious to whom the government of the seminary has been entrusted. 156. In interprovincial, national and international colleges and houses of religious, the proper calendar of the whole Order or Congregation must be used in the discharge of the Divine Office in choir or in common (n. 55), with the addition of only the feasts of the proper church (n. 45) and also the feasts mentioned in n. 57. 157. However, any diocesan cleric, or any religious of either sex who is bound to the Divine Office by any title, and who takes part in the Office in choir or in common according to a calendar or rite other than their own, satisfies in this way their obligation in respect of that part of the Office. Likewise, anyone who takes part in the votive Vespers of some external solemnity satisfies his obligation in respect of this part of the Office, provided that the said Vespers are celebrated fully and according to the rubrics. CHAPTER 4 ARRANGING THE DIVINE OFFICE A - Arranging the Divine Office in General 158. The extent of the Divine Office for each liturgical day was described above in paragraphs 13, 27, 34, 37. 159. The quality of the Divine Office to be recited, and the method for selecting the individual parts of the Hours, according to the variety of liturgical days, will be described below nn. 165-177. 160.

On Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday, and on the days during their octaves, at the Little Hours the psalms for Sunday are said, but at Prime as on feasts, namely psalms 53, 118 i and 118 ii. 173. During the Triduum sacrum, on the vigil of Christmas and in Offices of the Dead, the Office is arranged according to the special rubrics which are found in those places in the Breviary. 174. On feasts of the Lord II class, which fall on Septuagesima, Sexagesima or Quinquagesima Sunday, the antiphons at the Little Hours are taken from Lauds as in the festive office, but at Prime the psalms for Sunday are retained, i.e., psalm 117, 118 i & 118 ii. 175. On days within the octave of Christmas free from feasts of Saints, the Office is arranged in this way: a) Matins have nine psalms and three lessons. The invitatory, hymn, antiphons and psalms are said as on the feast of Christmas; the verse, as in the third nocturn of the feast; but the three lessons are from the Scripture occurring with their responsories, as indicated on each day.

On the Sunday within the octave of Christmas, the Office is arranged in the same way as on other days within the octave (n. 175), while retaining whatever is proper. Concerning the lessons at Matins, the following are to be observed: a) if the Sunday falls on 26th, 27th or 28th December, the first and second lessons, with their responsories, are taken from the first nocturn of Christmas Day, in the way indicated in n. 221; the third is from the homily on the Gospel of the day (n. 220 b); b) if it falls on other days, the first and second lessons are said from Scripture occurring, and the third from the homily on the Gospel of the day, as in a Sunday office (n. 220). 177. On feasts III class, both universal and particular, which have for some Hours either proper antiphons and psalms from the Common, or proper antiphons and psalms especially assigned, the special rubrics which occur in these places in the Breviary are to be observed. CHAPTER 5 THE PARTS OF THE OFFICE A - The Beginning and End of the Hours 178. The Canonical Hours, whether in choir, or in common, or alone, begin absolutely this way: a) Matins with the verse Domine, labia mea aperies; b) Lauds, the Little Hours and Vespers with the verse Deus, in adiutorium meum intende;

[YLLL

c) Compline with the verse Iube, domne (Domine), benedicere. 179. Likewise, the Canonical Hours, whether in choir, or in common, or alone conclude this way: a) Matins (if separated from Lauds), Lauds, Terce, Sext, None and Vespers with the verse Fidelium animæ; b) Compline with the blessing Benedicat et custodiat. 180. In Offices of the Triduum sacrum and the Dead, the Hours are begun and concluded as indicated in the Breviary. Likewise, Matins on the feast of the Epiphany begins in a special way. B - The Conclusion of the Office 181. The daily round of the Divine Office finishes after Compline with the antiphon of our Lady along with its verse and prayer, and with the verse Divinum auxilium, except in Offices of the Triduum sacrum and of the Dead. C - The Invitatory 182. The Invitatory and psalm 94, Venite, exsultemus, are said at the beginning of Matins in every Office, in the way described in the ordinarium, except in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, and the feast of the Epiphany. 183. At the end of the invitatory, during the Season of Easter (tempus paschale), Alleluia is added, unless it is already there. 184. The rule for selecting the invitatory according to the different liturgical days is given above, where the arrangement of the Office is treated (nn. 165-177). D - The Hymns 185. The hymns are said at each Hour, in the place indicated in the ordinarium. They are omitted at Matins of the Epiphany, from Matins on Maundy Thursday to None on Easter Sunday, and in the Office of the Dead. 186.

[L[


187. Proper hymns appointed for certain Hours are never transferred to another Hour. 188. Each hymn is always said with the conclusion which it has in the Breviary. Any change in the conclusion by reason of the feast or season is forbidden. 189. A commemorated Office never introduces a proper doxology at the end of the hymns of the day's Office. E - The Antiphons 190. Antiphons are said at all Hours before and after the psalms and canticles, one or several being said according to the different offices and Hours, as indicated in their places. But they are omitted at the Little Hours and at Compline during the Triduum sacrum, on Easter Sunday and during the octave, and in the Office of the Dead on 2nd November. 191. The whole antiphon is always said before and after the psalms and canticles, at all the Hours, Great and Little. The asterisk, which is marked after the first words of the antiphon, indicates that the intonation is carried to that point. 192. Proper antiphons assigned to certain Hours are not tansferred, but omitted, if they cannot be said. 193. The antiphon to the Magnificat at I Vespers on the first Sunday of the months of August, September, October and November is that which is given in the Breviary before the first Sunday of each month, and which corresponds to the book of Sacred Scripture to be read on the Sunday. 194. At Friday Vespers during the Season of Easter (tempus paschale), the antiphon to the Magnificat of II Vespers of the preceding Sunday is used as antiphon to the Magnificat. 195. During the Season of Easter, Alleluia is added to each antiphon, unless it is already there. But from Septuagesima to Holy Saturday, if Alleluia happens to occur in the antiphon, it is omitted. F - The Psalms and Canticles

196. The psalms at the individual Hours are selected in keeping with the rules for arranging the Office of the different liturgical days (nn. 165-177). 197. For Matins of Wednesday and for Lauds of each day of the week, a double set of psalms is given in the psalter. The alternate set of psalms is used: a) on Sundays of Septuagesima, Lent and Passiontide; b) on all ferias of Advent, Septuagesima, Lent, Passiontide, Ember Days in September, and on vigils II and III class outside the Season of Easter. On the other days, the first set of psalms is used. 198. When the psalm or canticle begins with the same words occurring in the antiphon, these words are omitted, and the psalm or canticle begins from the word before which the antiphon ended, provided that Alleluia has not to be added to the antiphon. 199. A psalm, which cannot be said at the Hour to which it is especially assigned, is omitted, not transferred. 200. The canticles Benedictus, Magnificat and Nunc dimittis are said in their proper places, as indicated in the ordinarium. 201. At the end of psalms and canticles, with the exception of the canticle Benedicite, the Gloria Patri is said, but this is omitted during the Triduum sacrum. However, in the Office of the Dead, in place of the verse Gloria Patri the verse Requiem æternam is said, as indicated in its place. 202. The asterisk in the verses of the psalms and canticles indicates that a pause must be made in the singing or recitation in choir and in common. G - The Athanasian Creed 203. The Athanasian Creed is said only on the feast of the Blessed Trinity, at Prime, after the psalms and before repeating the antiphon. H - The Verses 204. The verses are said at Matins, after the antiphon of the last psalm of each nocturn has been repeated. But at

General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary Lauds and Vespers the verse is said after the hymn; at the Little Hours and at Compline it is said after the short responsory. 205. During the Triduum sacrum, the verse is said only in each nocturn and at Lauds; on Easter Sunday and during the octave in the single nocturn; in the Office of the Dead in each nocturn, at Lauds and Vespers, as indicated in those places. 206. During the Season of Easter (tempus paschale) Alleluia is added to the verses, unless it is already there; the verses found in the ordinarium without Alleluia are excepted. 207. The rule for selecting the verse, according to the different offices and Hours, is given above, where the arranging of the Divine Office is treated (nn. 165-177). I - The Absolutions and Blessings before the Lessons 208. The absolution and blessings are said at Matins before the lessons of each nocturn, as indicated in the ordinarium. They are omitted in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum and of the Dead. 209. For Matins of the Saturday Office of our Lady proper absolution and blessings are given; likewise, there are proper blessings for the third nocturn of Matins on Christmas Day. 210. The blessings before the short lesson at Prime and Compline are proper and unchangeable. L - The Lessons at Matins I: The Lessons in General 211. Three lessons are said at the end of each nocturn. Accordingly, offices with three nocturns have nine lessons; and offices with one nocturn, three. 212. The term 'Scripture occurring' means the Scriptural lessons assigned for the first or single nocturn, and arranged in a definite order for the individual days in the Proper of the Season. 213. If the lessons of the Scripture occurring cannot be said on the appointed day, they are omitted, even in the case of the initia of the books, with the exception of the initium of the first epistle to the

[[

Corinthians, which is read on the preceding Saturday when the I Sunday after Epiphany falls on 13th January. 214. Commemorated Offices do not have a lesson in the Office of the day. 215. The Scriptural lessons are read with the title of the sacred book from which they are taken, unless the contrary is expressly indicated; likewise, lessons from a sermon or treatise or pontifical document are read with the title and name of the author; similarly, the lessons from the homily on the Gospel of the Day are prefaced by the name of the author. 216. At the end of each lesson is said Tu autem, Domine, miserere nobis, to which the reply is made Deo gratias. This conclusion is omitted in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum and of the Dead. II: The Lessons of an Office of Three Nocturns 217. The three lessons of the first nocturn are from Scripture, and: a) in a festive or semi-festive office, they are proper or especially appointed or from the Common; b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, they are proper. 218. The three lessons of the second nocturn are: a) < semi-festive or festive a>, the life of the Saint, or from a sermon or treatise appointed for the day, as in the Proper or Common; But if only one or two lessons are proper or appointed, the third is taken from the lessons of the Common. b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum from the sermon appointed for the day. 219. The three lessons of the third nocturn are: a) in a festive or semi-festive office, from the homily on the Gospel of the day; b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, from the epistles of St. Paul the Apostle, as in the Proper. III: The Lessons of an Office of One Nocturn 220. In a Sunday office this is the order of the three lessons: a) the first and second lessons are said from the Scripture occurring, as in the Proper.

[[L


However, the first lesson from Sacred Scripture is that which is now marked in the Breviary as the first; but the second is made up of the second and third joined together, the intervening responsory being omitted. b) the third lesson is said from the homily of the Gospel of the day; and the lesson which is now set down in the Breviary as the first of the third nocturn is used. 221. In an ordinary office, this is the order of the three lessons: a) the first and second lessons are said from Scripture; and ordinarily from the Scripture occurring, unless proper or especially appointed lessons are given. However, the first lesson from Sacred Scripture is that which is marked in the Breviary as the first; but the second is made up of the second and third joined together, the intervening responsory being omitted. b) the third lesson is of the feast, namely the proper one formerly called the 'contracted' lesson; in the absence of this, the proper lessons (formerly of the second nocturn) are said joined together. But if the feast has no proper lessons, the fourth of the Common is used as the third lesson. 222. In a ferial office, this is the order of the three lessons: a) if it is an Office of a vigil or feria with a homily, the three lessons are said from the homily on the Gospel of the day; b) if it is an Office of a feria without a homily, the three lessons of the Scripture occurring are read, as given in the Breviary. IV: Some Special Matters about the Lessons 223. The lessons of the Office of the Dead are arranged in a special way, as indicated in their place. 224. During the octaves of Easter and Pentecost the three lessons are said from the homily on the Gospel of the day. 225. The lessons assigned to the Sundays and weekdays after the Epiphany which cannot be placed, because of occurrence of Septuagesima Sunday, are omitted completely in that year. The

same applies to the lessons of the Sundays after Pentecost, and the lessons for the weekdays after them, which are impeded by the occurrence of the first Sunday of August; also the lessons of the months of August, September, October and November, which are impeded by the occurrence of the first Sunday of the following month or the first Sunday of Advent, are omitted. M - The Responsories after the Lessons at Matins I: The Responsories in General 226. A responsory is said after each lesson, except after the last when the hymn Te Deum must be said. 227. Responsories are so linked to the lessons, that they must be selected by the same rule as the lessons, unless the contrary is expressly stated. 228. Responsories which cannot be said on their own day are omitted, not transferred. 229. During the Season of Easter (tempus paschale), Alleluia is added to the end of each responsory, before the verse, unless it is already there; Alleluia is never added after the verse. 230. At the end of the last responsory of each nocturn, after the last part of the responsory has been repeated, the Gloria Patri is said, and then the last part of the responsory is repeated, unless the contrary is noted. However, in the Office of Passiontide, the Gloria Patri is omitted in the last responsory of each nocturn, and in place of it the whole responsory is repeated from the beginning to the verse exclusive. In the Office of the Dead, the Requiem æternam is said in place of the Gloria Patri, in the last responsory of each nocturn. 231. The peculiarities that may occur in saying the responsories are indicated in their places.

General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary II: The Responsories in Offices of Three Nocturns 232. The responsories of three nocturns are arranged by this rule: a) in a festive and semi-festive office, they are proper or from the Common; b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, they are proper. III: The Responsories in Offices of One Nocturn 233. In a Sunday office, the responsories are arranged in this way: a) the first is the responsory placed after the first lesson; b) the second is the responsory formerly found after the third lesson. At the end of this responsory the Gloria Patri and the repetition of the last part of the responsory are omitted, if a third responsory must be said; c) the third, when it has to be said, is the responsory which was placed after the third lesson of the homily. 234. In an ordinary office with lessons from the Scripture occurring, the responsories are arranged this way: a) the first is the responsory which is placed after the first lesson; b) the second is the responsory which is found after the third lesson. 235. In an ordinary office with proper or especially appointed lessons from Scripture, the responsories are proper or from the Common, in the same order as above (n. 234). 236. In a ferial office, either of a feria or a vigil, the responsories of the current weekday are said, as found in the Proper of the Season. N - The Hymn Te Deum 237. The hymn Te Deum is said at Matins, after the last lesson, in place of the ninth or third responsory: a) on Low Sunday, on Whit Sunday, and at Matins on Easter Sunday when recited by those who were not present at the Easter Vigil; b) on Sundays II class, except Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima Sundays; c) on all feasts;

[[LL

d) during the octaves of Christmas, Easter and Pentecost; e) in a ferial office of the Seasons of Christmas and Easter; f) on the vigils of the Ascension and Pentecost; g) in the Saturday Office of our Lady. 238. The hymn Te Deum is omitted: a) in offices of the season from I Sunday of Advent to the vigil of Christmas inclusive, and from Septuagesima Sunda to Holy Saturday inclusive; b) on vigils II and III class, except the vigil of our Lord's Ascension; c) on all ferias 'per annum'; d) in the Office of the Dead. 239. When the hymn Te Deum is omitted, the ninth or third responsory is said in place of it. O - The Little Chapters and the Short Lesson at Prime 240. The little chapter is said at all the Hours, except Matins, after the psalms and their antiphons; but at Compline after the hymn. It is omitted from Lauds on Maundy Thursday to None on Easter Saturday, and in the Office of the Dead. 241. At Prime the little chapter is always Regi sæculorum; and at Compline Tu autem in nobis. At the other Hours it is taken from the Ordinarium, or psalter, or Proper, or Common, according to the different offices (nn. 165-177). 242. The short lesson at Prime is always said according to the season, as in the ordinarium. P - The Short Responsories at the Little Hours 243. The short responsories are said at the Little Hours and at Compline after the little chapter; but they are omitted from Maundy Thursday to None of Easter Saturday, and in the Office of the Dead. 244. At Prime, in the responsory Christe, Fili Dei vivi, the verse Qui sedes is changed in those Offices and seasons of the year for which a proper verse is assigned; however, the proper verse of a commemorated feast is never said. The short responsory of Compline is never changed. at Terce, Sext and None

[[LLL


the short responsories are taken from the same place as the little chapters. 245. The manner in which the short responsories must be said, either during or outside the Season of Easter (tempus paschale), or in a ferial office in Passiontide, is indicated in the ordinarium. Outside the Season of Easter, even though on some feasts a double Alleluia must be added at the end of the short responsory, before the verse, at Terce, Sext and None, it is not to be likewise added at Prime and Compline. Q - The Prayers 246. The prayer is said at the end of each Hour, at the place indicated in the ordinarium. Matins are excepted, when they are recited together with Lauds. 247. The prayer is preceded, in choir or in common, by Dominus vobiscum to which is replied Et cum spiritu tuo. When the Office is recited alone, and by those who are not ordained deacons, Domine, exaudi orationem meam, the reply Et clamor meus ad te veniat is said, unless they have been said already. Oremus is then said, and the prayer is added. Hence in reciting the Office alone, Domine, exaudi orationem meam is always said instead of Dominus vobiscum, as above. 248. At Prime and Compline, the prayer is never changed, except in the Office of All Souls' Day, and during the Triduum sacrum at Prime. At the other Hours, the prayer given at Lauds is used; however, there is a proper prayer at Vespers on the ferias of Lent and Passiontide. 249. The prayer of the Office of the day is always said with its own conclusion, with due respect for the prescriptions of n. 110 a. But the prayers, which belong to commemorations, are concluded with the last one only; nevertheless, Oremus is said before each prayer. R - Commemorations Commemorations are made in accordance with the rules given in the general rubrics, nn. 106-114. 251. Commemorations are placed after the prayer of the Office of the day; and 250.

they are made by using the antiphon which is given for the Benedictus and Magnificat respectively in the commemorated Office, the verse which precedes it and the prayer, with due respect for the prescription of n. 110 c. 252. To commemorate the Office of a Sunday, a feria and the vigil of the Ascension, the antiphon and verse are taken from the Proper of the Season, the psalter or the ordinarium, but the prayer from the Proper of the Season. To commemorate the octave of Christmas or the Office of Saints, the antiphon, verse and prayer are taken from the Proper or Common. Lastly, to commemorate a vigil II and III class, the antiphon and verse are taken from the psalter, but the prayer from the Proper. 253. In making commemorations, the following are to be observed: a) the same antiphon is never repeated twice in the same Hour; b) the same words are never used for antiphon and verse in the same commemoration. 254. If only one commemoration must be made at Lauds, and the antiphon and verse must be taken from the same Common used for the Office of the day, for the commemoration the antiphon and verse are taken from I Vespers. 255. If two commemorations must be made at Lauds, and the antiphon and verse must be taken from the same Common: a) for the first commemoration, the antiphon and verse are taken from Lauds; b) for the second, the antiphon and verse are from I Vespers. 256. If two commemorations must be made at Lauds, and the antiphon and verse must be taken from the same Common used for the Office of the day: a) for the first commemoration, the antiphon and verse are taken from I Vespers; b) for the second, the antiphon and verse are from II Vespers. 257. Concerning the rules of nn. 253-256, it is to be noted:

General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary a) if the antiphon is the same at I and II Vespers, for the second commemoration the antiphon is taken from Lauds, or as a last resort the first antiphon of the third nocturn; b) at the same Hour, the text of the antiphon can be used as the verse for another commemoration to be taken from the same Common; c) the antiphon Euge, serve bone, given at Lauds in the Common of a Confessor Bishop, is considered to be identical with the like antiphon given at Lauds in the Common of a Confessor not a Bishop. 258. Likewise, if the prayer of the feast of which the Office is being celebrated is the same as that of a commemoration, the prayer of the commemorations is changed for another of the same or similar Common. 259. Proper antiphons and verses, which cannot be used as a commemoration at a particular Hour, are omitted, not transferred. S - The Preces 260. Preces are said only in offices of the season, and: a) at Lauds and Vespers of Wednesday and Friday of Advent, Lent and Passiontide; b) at Lauds and Vespers of Ember Wednesday and Friday in September; c) at Lauds on Ember Saturdays, except Saturday within the octave of Pentecost. CHAPTER 6 THE RULES FOR MAKING THE SIGN OF THE CROSS, FOR STANDING, KNEELING AND SITTING DURING THE RECITATION OF THE DIVINE OFFICE 261. What is said here of making the sign of the cross, and of bodily posture during the recitation of the Divine Office applies to the recitation in choir and in common; but it is fitting that those who recite the Divine Office alone should conform to the rules for the making of the sign of the cross.

[[LY

262. The special rules which concern the hebdomadarius and chanters are found in books on ceremonies; accordingly, only those things which apply generally to the 'choir' are noted here. 263. All make the sign of the cross from the forehead to the breast, and from the left to the right shoulder: a) at the beginning of all the Hours, when Deus, in adiutorium is said; b) at the verse Adiutorium nostrum; c) at the absolution Indulgentiam after the Confiteor at Compline; d) at the beginning of the canticles Benedictus, Magnificat and Nunc dimittis; e) at the blessing at the end of Prime and Compline; f) at the verse Divinum auxilium, at the end of the Divine Office. 264. The sign of the cross is made on the lips at the beginning of Matins, at the words Domine, labia mea aperies. 265. The sign of the cross is made on the breast at the words Converte nos at Compline. 266. All stand: a) at the beginning of each Hour, until the first verse of the first psalm has been begun; b) while the hymns and gospel canticles are being said; c) also at Matins at the invitatory with its psalms, and from the end of the last antiphon of each nocturn to the first blessing before the lessons inclusive; and while the text of the Gospel is being read before the homily; d) at Lauds and Vespers from after the antiphon following the last psalm to the end, unless it is necessary to kneel for the preces or the prayer, according to the rubrics; e) at Prime, from after the antiphon to the end, except for the reading of the Martyrology, unless it is necessary to kneel for the prayers; f) at Terce, Sext and None, from after the antiphon to the end, unless it is necessary to kneel for the prayer; g) at Compline, from after the antiphon following the psalms to the end, unless it is necessary to kneel for prayer;

[[Y


h) at the intonation of the antiphons in sung Matins, Lauds and Vespers, according to custom; i) at the final antiphon of our Lady after Compline, on Saturday and Sunday, even if the Office has not been of the Sunday, and throughout the Season of Easter. 267. All kneel: a) at the words Venite, adoremus et procidamus, etc., in the psalm Venite, exsultemus, at the beginning of Matins; b) at the verse Te ergo quŴsumus in the hymn Te Deum; c) at the preces, when they must be said; d) in a ferial office during Advent, Lent and Passiontide, also on Ember Days of September, and on vigils II and III class, except the vigil of the Ascension, at all the Hours for the prayer and the

commemorations that may follow; however, the hebdomadarius stands; e) for the final antiphon of our Lady, after Compline, except on Saturday and Sunday and throughout the Season of Easter; however, the hebdomadarius stands while saying the prayer; f) in certain other special circumstances, as noted in their place. 268. All sit: a) at every Hour, after the first verse of the initial psalm has been commenced until the antiphon of the last psalm has been repeated; b) for the lessons with their responsories at Matins, except while the text of the Gospel is being read before the homily; c) while the Martyrology is being read at Prime, unless otherwise noted.

NOTES FOR THE TABLES OF OCCURENCE AND CONCURRENCE 1. A 1st or 2nd class feast of the Lord occurring on a Sunday takes the place of that Sunday with all rights and privileges; hence there is no commemoration of that Sunday. 2. If two feasts of the same Divine Person or two feasts of the same Saint or Blessed occur together, the Office is of the feast holding the higher place in the table of precedence, and the other is omitted. 3. If a 1st or 2nd class feast of the Lord concurs with any Sunday, or vice versa, the Vespers are ordered according to the table of concurrence, but there is never a commemoration of the concurring Sunday in the Vespers of the feast of the Lord, nor vice versa.

PROPER OF SEASONS ADVENT DOMINICA I ADVENTUS

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Ant. I In illa die * stillábunt montes dulcédinem, et colles fluent lac et mel, allelúia. Psalmi de sabbato, P147. Ant. II Iucundáre, * fília Sion, et exsúlta satis, fília Ierúsalem, allelúia.

Ant. I On that day * the mountains shall drop sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk and honey, alleluia. Psalms of Saturday, P147. Ant. II Be glad, * O daughter of Sion, and rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Jerusalem, alleluia. Ant. III Behold the Lord will come, * and all his Saints with him: and there shall be a great light on that day, alleluia. Ant. IV O all ye that thirst, * come to the waters: seek the Lord while he may be found, alleluia. Ant. V Behold the great Prophet * will come, and himself will renew Jerusalem, alleluia. Little Chapter (Rom. 13: 11) Brethren, it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Hymn Creator of the stars of night, Thy people's everlasting light, Jesu, Redeemer, save us all, And hear thy servants when they call. Thou, grieving that the ancient curse Should doom to death an universe, Hast found the medicine, full of grace, To save and heal a ruined race. Thou camest, the Bridegroom of the Bride, As drew the world to evening tide, Proceeding from a virgin shrine, The spotless Victim all divine. At whose dread Name, majestic now, All knees must bend, all hearts must bow; And things celestial thee shall own And things terrestrial, Lord alone. O thou whose coming is with dread, To judge and doom the quick and dead, Preserve us, while we dwell below, From every insult of the foe. All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose Advent doth thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore,

I classis Ad I Vesperas

Ant. III Ecce Dóminus véniet, * et omnes Sancti eius cum eo: et erit in die illa lux magna, allelúia. Ant. IV Omnes sitiéntes, * veníte ad aquas: quŴrite Dóminum, dum inveníri potest, allelúia. Ant. V Ecce véniet * Prophéta magnus, et ipse renovábit Ierúsalem, allelúia. Capitulum (Rom. 13: 11) Fratres: Hora est iam nos de somno súrgere: nunc enim própior est nostra salus, quam cum credídimus.

Hymn A thrilling voice by Jordan rings, Rebuking guilt and darksome things: Vain dreams of sin and visions fly; Christ in his might shines forth on high. Now let each torpid soul arise, That sunk in guilt and wounded lies; See! the new Star's refulgent ray Shall chase disease and sin away. The Lamb descends from heaven above To pardon sin with freest love: For such indulgent mercy shewn With tearful joy our thanks we own: That when again he shines revealed, And trembling worlds to terror yield, He give not sin its just reward, But in his love protect and guard. All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose Advent doth thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

of David, according to the flesh. Hymn A thrilling voice by Jordan rings, Rebuking guilt and darksome things: Vain dreams of sin and visions fly; Christ in his might shines forth on high. Now let each torpid soul arise, That sunk in guilt and wounded lies; See! the new Star's refulgent ray Shall chase disease and sin away. The Lamb descends from heaven above To pardon sin with freest love: For such indulgent mercy shewn With tearful joy our thanks we own: That when again he shines revealed, And trembling worlds to terror yield, He give not sin its just reward, But in his love protect and guard. All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose Advent doth thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen. V. Tomorrow the iniquity of the earth shall be blotted out. R. And the Saviour of the world shall reign over us. Ant. at the Benedictus The Saviour * of the world shall rise like the sun, and shall come down into the womb of the Virgin, as the shower of rain upon the grass, alleluia. Prayer (Collect) O God, who rejoicest us by the annual expectation of the Festival of our Redemption: grant that as we joyfully welcome thine only-begotten Son as our Redeemer, we may look upon him with confidence when he appeareth as our Judge, our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son.

That in the Virgin’s sacred womb Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh Didst our mortality assume. This ever-blest recurring day Its witness bears, that all alone, From thy own Father’s bosom forth, To save the world thou camest down.

Ut carne carnem líberans, Ne pérderet quos cóndidit. Castæ Paréntis víscera Cæléstis intrat grátia: Venter Puéllæ báiulat Secréta, quæ non nóverat. Domus pudíci péctoris Templum repénte fit Dei: Intácta nésciens virum, Concépit alvo Fílium. Enítitur puérpera, Quem Gábriel prædíxerat, Quem ventre Matris géstiens, Baptísta clausum sénserat. Fœno iacére pértulit: Præsépe non abhórruit: Et lacte módico pastus est, Per quem nec ales ésurit. Gaudet chorus cæléstium, Et Angeli canunt Deo; Palámque fit pastóribus Pastor, Creátor ómnium. Iesu tibi sit glória, Qui natus es de Vírgine, Cum Patre et almo Spíritu, In sempitérna sŴcula. Amen.

That, liberating flesh by flesh, Whom he had made might live afresh. In that chaste parent's holy womb, Celestial grace hath found its home: And she, as earthly bride unknown, Yet calls that Offspring blest her own. The mansion of the modest breast Becomes a shrine where God shall rest: The pure and undefiled one Within her womb conceived the Son. That Son, that royal Son, she bore, Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore; Whom, in his Mother yet concealed, The infant Baptist had revealed. The manger and the straw he bore, The cradle did he not abhor: A little milk his infant fare Who feedeth even each fowl of air. The heavenly chorus filled the sky, The Angels sang to God on high, What time to shepherds, watching lone, They made creation's Shepherd known. All honour, laud and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.

The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance: * he shall not be afraid of any evil tidings. His heart is ready, trusting in the Lord, his heart is established, * he shall not be afraid until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor, and his righteousness remaineth for ever; * his horn shall be exalted with honour. The ungodly shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; * the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

Potens in terra erit semen eius: * generátio rectórum benedicétur. Glória, et divítiæ in domo eius: * et iustítia eius manet in sŴculum sŴculi. Exórtum est in ténebris lumen rectis: * miséricors, et miserátor, et iustus. Iucúndus homo qui miserétur et cómmodat, dispónet sermónes suos in iudício: * quia in ætérnum non commovébitur. In memória ætérna erit iustus: * ab auditióne mala non timébit. Parátum cor eius speráre in Dómino, confirmátum est cor eius: * non commovébitur donec despíciat inimícos suos. Dispérsit, dedit paupéribus: iustítia eius manet in sŴculum sŴculi, * cornu eius exaltábitur in glória. Peccátor vidébit, et irascétur, déntibus suis fremet et tabéscet: * desidérium peccatórum períbit. Ant. III Exórtum est in ténebris lumen rectis corde: miséricors, et miserátor, et iustus Dóminus. Ant. IV Apud Dóminum * misericórdia, et copiósa apud eum redémptio.

Ant. III To the upright of heart a light has risen up in darkness: the merciful, and compassionate, and just Lord. Ant. IV With the Lord * there is merciful forgiveness: and with him a plentiful redemption.

Psalmus 129 De profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine: * Dómine, exáudi vocem meam: Fiant aures tuæ intendéntes: * in vocem deprecatiónis meæ.

Psalm 129 Out of the depths I have cried unto thee, O Lord; * Lord, hear my voice. O let thine ears be attentive * to the voice of my supplication.

Dec. 25 - Nativity of the Lord Si iniquitátes observáveris, Dómine: * Dómine, quis sustinébit? Quia apud te propitiátio est: * et propter legem tuam sustínui te, Dómine. Sustínuit ánima mea in verbo eius: * sperávit ánima mea in Dómino. A custódia matutína usque ad noctem: * speret Israël in Dómino. Quia apud Dóminum misericórdia: * et copiósa apud eum redémptio. Et ipse rédimet Israël: * ex ómnibus iniquitátibus eius. Ant. IV Apud Dóminum misericórdia, et copiósa apud eum redémptio. Ant. V De fructu * ventris tui ponem super sedem tuam. Psalmus 131 Meménto, Dómine, David, * et omnis mansuetúdinis eius: Sicut iurávit Dómino, * votum vovit Deo Iacob: Si introíero in tabernáculum domus meæ, * si ascéndero in lectum strati mei: Si dédero somnum óculis meis, * et pálpebris meis dormitatiónem: Et réquiem tempóribus meis: donec invéniam locum Dómino, * tabernáculum Deo Iacob. Ecce audívimus eam in Ephrata: * invénimus eam in campis silvæ. Introíbimus in tabernáculum eius: * adorábimus in loco, ubi stetérunt pedes eius. Surge, Dómine, in réquiem tuam, * tu et arca sanctificatiónis tuæ. Sacerdótes tui induántur iustítiam: * et sancti tui exsúltent. Propter David, servum tuum: * non avértas fáciem Christi tui. Iurávit Dóminus David veritátem, et non frustrábitur eam: * de fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam. Si custodíerint fílii tui testaméntum meum: * et testimónia mea hæc, quæ docébo

If thou, O Lord, shalt observe our iniquities, * Lord, who may endure it? For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: * and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word * my soul hath hoped in the Lord. From the morning watch even until night: * let Israel hope in the Lord. Because with the Lord there is mercy, * and with him plentiful redemption. And he shall redeem Israel * from all his iniquities. Ant. IV With the Lord there is merciful forgiveness: and with him a plentiful redemption. Ant. V Of the fruit * of thy womb I will set upon thy throne. Psalm 131 O Lord, remember David, * and all his meekness: How he sware unto the Lord, * and vowed a vow unto the God of Jacob: I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house, * nor go up into the bed wherein I lie; I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, * nor mine eyelids to slumber; Neither the temples of my head to take any rest: * until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah, * and found it in the fields of the wood. We will go into his tabernacle, * and worship in the place where his feet stood. Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place; * thou, and the ark which thou hast sanctified. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; * and let thy saints rejoice. For the sake of thy servant David, * turn not away the face of thine anointed. The Lord hath made a faithful oath unto David, and he shall not make it void: * of the fruit of thy womb shall I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant, * and my testimonies that I shall teach them.


eos. Et fílii eórum usque in sŴculum: * sedébunt super sedem tuam. Quóniam elégit Dóminus Sion: * elégit eam in habitatiónem sibi.

Inimícos eius índuam confusióne: * super ipsum autem efflorébit sanctificátio mea. Ant. V De fructu ventris tui ponem super sedem tuam.

Their children also for evermore: * shall sit upon thy throne. For the Lord hath chosen Sion * he hath chosen it to be an habitation for himself. This shall be my rest for ever and ever: * here will I dwell, for I have chosen it. Blessing I will bless her widow: * and will satisfy her poor with bread. I will clothe her priests with salvation, * and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy. There will I bring forth make a horn unto David: * I have prepared a lantern for mine anointed. His enemies will I clothe with confusion; * but upon him shall my sanctification flourish. Ant. V Of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

Psalmi præcedentes cum suis antiphonis dicuntur, per totam octavam Nativitatis, in Vesperis cuiuslibet Officii, præterquam diei octavi Nativitatis (diebus 31 decembris et 1 ianuarii); a capitulo fit de Officio currenti, nisi faciendum sit de sequenti Officio nobiliori.

The preceding psalms with their antiphons are said at Vespers throughout the whole octave of Christmas, except on the octave day of Christmas (December 31 and January 1); but from the Little Chapter on, the current Office is said.

Capitulum (Hebr. 1: 1-2) Multifárium multísque modis olim Deus loquens pátribus in Prophétis: novíssime diébus istis locútus est nobis in Fílio, quem constítuit herédem universórum, per quem fecit et sŴcula.

Little Chapter (Hebr. 1: 1-2) God, who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers, by the Prophets: last of all, in these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world. Hymn Jesu, Redeemer of the world! Before the earliest dawn of light From everlasting ages born, Immense in glory as in might. Immortal Hope of all mankind! In whom the Father’s face we see; Hear thou the prayers thy people pour This day throughout the world to thee. Remember, O Creator Lord! That in the Virgin’s sacred womb Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh Didst our mortality assume. This ever-blest recurring day Its witness bears, that all alone, From thy own Father’s bosom forth,

Hæc réquies mea in sŴculum sŴculi: * hic habitábo, quóniam elégi eam. Víduam eius benedícens benedícam: * páuperes eius saturábo pánibus. Sacerdótes eius índuam salutári: * et sancti eius exsultatióne exsultábunt. Illuc prodúcam cornu David: * parávi lucérnam Christo meo.

Hymnus Iesu, Redémptor ómnium, Quem lucis ante oríginem Parem patérnæ glóriæ Pater suprémus édidit. Tu lumen, et splendor Patris, Tu spes perénnis ómnium, Inténde quas fundunt preces Tui per orbem sérvuli. Meménto, rerum Cónditor, Nostri quod olim córporis, Sacráta ab alvo Vírginis Nascéndo, formam súmpseris. Testátur hoc præsens dies, Currens per anni círculum, Quod solus e sinu Patris

To save the world thou camest down. O day! to which the seas and sky, And earth and heav’n, glad welcome sing; O day! which heal’d our misery, And brought on earth salvation’s King! We too, O Lord, who have been cleansed In thy own fount of blood divine, Offer the tribute of sweet song, On this dear natal day of thine. O Jesu! born of Virgin bright, Immortal glory be to thee; Praise to the Father infinite, And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

Ant. at the Magnificat This day, * Christ is born: this day, the Saviour hath appeared; this day, the Angels sing on earth; the Archangels rejoice; this day, the just exult, saying: Glory be to God in the highest, alleluia. Prayer (Collect) Grant, we beseech thee, O almighty God, that the celebration of the joyful Birth of thine only-begotten Son may deliver us from the yoke of the ancient bondage of sin. Through the same Lord.

Capitulum (Gal. 4: 1-2) Fratres: Quanto témpore heres párvulus est, nihil differt a servo, cum sit Dóminus ómnium: sed sub tutóribus et actóribus est usque ad præfinítum tempus a patre.

this day is born unto you the Saviour of the world, alleluia. Ant. IV With the Angel was * a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest; and on earth, peace to men of good will, alleluia.

Hymnus A solis ortus cárdine Ad usque terræ límitem, Christum canámus Príncipem, Natum María Vírgine. Beátus auctor sŴculi Servíle corpus índuit: Ut carne carnem líberans, Ne pérderet quos cóndidit. Castæ Paréntis víscera Cæléstis intrat grátia: Venter Puéllæ báiulat Secréta, quæ non nóverat. Domus pudíci péctoris Templum repénte fit Dei: Intácta nésciens virum, Concépit alvo Fílium. Enítitur puérpera, Quem Gábriel prædíxerat, Quem ventre Matris géstiens, Baptísta clausum sénserat. Fœno iacére pértulit: Præsépe non abhórruit: Et lacte módico pastus est, Per quem nec ales ésurit. Gaudet chorus cæléstium, Et Angeli canunt Deo; Palámque fit pastóribus Pastor, Creátor ómnium. Iesu tibi sit glória, Qui natus es de Vírgine, Cum Patre et almo Spíritu, In sempitérna sŴcula. Amen.

Ant. V A little Child * is this day born unto us, and he shall be called God, the Mighty One, alleluia, alleluia. Little Chapter (Gal. 4: 1-2) Brethren: As long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all: but is under tutors and governors, until the time appointed by the father. Hymn From lands that see the sun arise, To earth's remotest boundaries, The Virgin-Born today we sing, The Son of Mary, Christ the King. Blest Author of this earthly frame, To take a servant's form he came, That, liberating flesh by flesh, Whom he had made might live afresh. In that chaste parent's holy womb, Celestial grace hath found its home: And she, as earthly bride unknown, Yet calls that Offspring blest her own. The mansion of the modest breast Becomes a shrine where God shall rest: The pure and undefiled one Within her womb conceived the Son. That Son, that royal Son, she bore, Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore; Whom, in his Mother yet concealed, The infant Baptist had revealed. The manger and the straw he bore, The cradle did he not abhor: A little milk his infant fare Who feedeth even each fowl of air. The heavenly chorus filled the sky, The Angels sang to God on high, What time to shepherds, watching lone, They made creation's Shepherd known. All honour, laud and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.

V. Verbum caro factum est, allelúia. R. Et habitávit in nobis, allelúia.

By wisdom taught he learn'd to know The vanity of all below, The fleeting joys of earth disdain'd, And everlasting glory gain'd. For thee through many a woe he ran, In many a fight he play'd the man; For thee his blood he dar'd to pour, And thence hath joy for evermore. We therefore pray thee, Lord of love, Regard us from thy throne above; On this thy Martyr's triumph-day Wash ev'ry stain of sin away. All honour, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

OCTAVA NATIVITATIS DOMINI

OCTAVE OF THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD

Ant. I O admirábile commércium: * Creátor géneris humáni, animátum corpus sumens, de Vírgine nasci dignátus est; et procédens homo sine sémine, largítus est nobis suam Deitátem. Psalmi ut in Communi festorum B.M.V. C52. Ant. II Quando natus es * ineffabíliter ex Vírgine, tunc implétæ sunt Scriptúræ: sicut plúvia in vellus descendísti, ut salvum fáceres genus humánum: te laudámus, Deus noster. Ant. III Rubum, quem víderat Móyses * incombústum, conservátam agnóvimus tuam laudábilem virginitátem: Dei Génetrix, intercéde pro nobis. Ant. IV Germinávit radix Iesse, * orta est stella ex Iacob: Virgo péperit Salvatórem: te laudámus, Deus noster.

Ant. I O admirable interchange! * The Creator of mankind, assuming a living body, deigned to be born of a Virgin; and becoming man without man’s aid, bestowed on us his Divinity. Psalms as in the Common of the B.V.M. C52. Ant. II When thou wast born * ineffably of the Virgin, the Scriptures were fulfilled. As dew upon Gedeon’s fleece, thou camest down to save mankind. O Lord our God, we praise thee. Ant. III In the bush seen by Moses * as burning yet unconsumed, we recognise the preservation of thy glorious virginity. O Mother of God, intercede for us. Ant. IV The Root of Jesse hath budded; * the Star hath risen out of Jacob; a Virgin hath brought forth the Saviour. O Lord our God! we praise thee. Ant. V Lo! Mary hath brought forth * unto us a Saviour, whom John seeing exclaimed: Behold the Lamb of God! Behold him that taketh away the sins of the world, alleluia. Little Chapter (Tit. 2: 11-12) The grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men, instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly, in this world.


Ant. V Ecce, María génuit * nobis Salvatórem, quem Ioánnem videns exclamávit, dicens: Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccáta mundi, allelúia. Capitulum (Tit. 2: 11-12) Appáruit grátia Dei Salvatóris nostri ómnibus homínibus, erúdiens nos, ut abnegántes impietátem et sæculária desidéria, sóbrie et iuste et pie vivámus in hoc sŴculo.

Hymn Jesu, Redeemer of the world! Before the earliest dawn of light From everlasting ages born, Immense in glory as in might. Immortal Hope of all mankind! In whom the Father’s face we see; Hear thou the prayers thy people pour This day throughout the world to thee. Remember, O Creator Lord! That in the Virgin’s sacred womb Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh Didst our mortality assume. This ever-blest recurring day Its witness bears, that all alone, From thy own Father’s bosom forth, To save the world thou camest down. O day! to which the seas and sky, And earth and heav’n, glad welcome sing; O day! which heal’d our misery, And brought on earth salvation’s King! We too, O Lord, who have been cleansed In thy own fount of blood divine, Offer the tribute of sweet song, On this dear natal day of thine. O Jesu! born of Virgin bright, Immortal glory be to thee; Praise to the Father infinite, And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

V. Verbum caro factum est, allelúia. R. Et habitávit in nobis, allelúia. Ad Magnif. ant. Propter nímiam * caritátem suam, qua diléxit nos Deus, Fílium suum misit in similitúdinem carnis peccáti, allelúia. Oratio Deus, qui salútis ætérnæ, beátæ Maríæ virginitáte fecúnda, humáno géneri prŴmia præstitísti: tríbue, quŴsumus; ut ipsam pro nobis intercédere sentiámus, per quam merúimus Auctórem vitæ suscípere, Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: Qui tecum.

V. The Word was made flesh, alleluia. R. And dwelt among us, alleluia. Ant. at the Magnificat God for his great love * wherewith he loved us, sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, alleluia. Prayer (Collect) O God, who by the fruitful virginity of Blessed Mary hast given to mankind the rewards of eternal salvation: grant, we beseech thee, that we may experience her intercession for us, by whom we received the Author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son. Who liveth.

Hymnus A solis ortus cárdine Ad usque terræ límitem, Christum canámus Príncipem, Natum María Vírgine. Beátus auctor sŴculi Servíle corpus índuit: Ut carne carnem líberans, Ne pérderet quos cóndidit. Castæ Paréntis víscera Cæléstis intrat grátia: Venter Puéllæ báiulat Secréta, quæ non nóverat. Domus pudíci péctoris Templum repénte fit Dei: Intácta nésciens virum, Concépit alvo Fílium. Enítitur puérpera, Quem Gábriel prædíxerat, Quem ventre Matris géstiens, Baptísta clausum sénserat. Fœno iacére pértulit: Præsépe non abhórruit: Et lacte módico pastus est, Per quem nec ales ésurit.

Psalms of Sunday, Lauds I P2. Ant. II When thou wast born * ineffably of the Virgin, the Scriptures were fulfilled. As dew upon Gedeon’s fleece, thou camest down to save mankind. O Lord our God, we praise thee. Ant. III In the bush seen by Moses * as burning yet unconsumed, we recognise the preservation of thy glorious virginity. O Mother of God, intercede for us. Ant. IV The Root of Jesse hath budded; * the Star hath risen out of Jacob; a Virgin hath brought forth the Saviour. O Lord our God! we praise thee. Ant. V Lo! Mary hath brought forth * unto us a Saviour, whom John seeing exclaimed: Behold the Lamb of God! Behold him that taketh away the sins of the world, alleluia. Little Chapter (Tit. 2: 11-12) The grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men, instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and justly, and godly, in this world. Hymn From lands that see the sun arise, To earth's remotest boundaries, The Virgin-Born today we sing, The Son of Mary, Christ the King. Blest Author of this earthly frame, To take a servant's form he came, That, liberating flesh by flesh, Whom he had made might live afresh. In that chaste parent's holy womb, Celestial grace hath found its home: And she, as earthly bride unknown, Yet calls that Offspring blest her own. The mansion of the modest breast Becomes a shrine where God shall rest: The pure and undefiled one Within her womb conceived the Son. That Son, that royal Son, she bore, Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore; Whom, in his Mother yet concealed, The infant Baptist had revealed. The manger and the straw he bore, The cradle did he not abhor: A little milk his infant fare Who feedeth even each fowl of air. The heavenly chorus filled the sky, The Angels sang to God on high, What time to shepherds, watching lone, They made creation's Shepherd known.

Iesu tibi sit glória, Qui natus es de Vírgine, Cum Patre et almo Spíritu, In sempitérna sŴcula. Amen.

All honour, laud and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.

V. Verbum caro factum est, allelúia. R. Et habitávit in nobis, allelúia. Ad Bened. ant.

Oratio Deus, qui salútis ætérnæ, beátæ Maríæ virginitáte fecúnda, humáno géneri prŴmia præstitísti: tríbue, quŴsumus; ut ipsam pro nobis intercédere sentiámus, per quam merúimus Auctórem vitæ suscípere, Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: Qui tecum.

V. The Word was made flesh, alleluia. R. And dwelt among us, alleluia. Ant. at the Benedictus An admirable mystery * is this day revealed: the two natures are united in a new way.

(When the feast occurs on Sunday, or when celebrated as a 1st class feast) When this feast is celebrated on January 2, at 2nd Vespers of the preceding feast, nothing is of the Most Holy Name. Ant. I Whosoever * shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Psalms of Sunday P13, but in the place of the last is said psalm 115 I believed, as below. Ant. II Holy and terrible * is his name: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Ant. III Yet will I * rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in God my Jesus. Ant. IV From the rising of the sun * to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise. Ant. V I will sacrifice * a sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. Psalm 115 I believed and therefore did I speak: * but I was humbled exceedingly. I said in mine excess: * All men are liars. What shall I render unto the Lord: * for all the things that he hath rendered unto me? I will take the chalice of salvation: * and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the presence of all his people: * precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints. O Lord, I am thy servant: * I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder: * I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord in the sight of all his people: * in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Ant. V Sacrificábo hóstiam laudis, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Capitulum (Philipp. 2: 8-10) Fratres: Christus humiliávit semetípsum factus obédiens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Propter quod et Deus exaltávit illum, et donávit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen, ut in nómine Iesu omne genu flectátur. Hymnus Iesu, dulcis memória, Dans vera cordis gáudia: Sed super mel, et ómnia, Eius dulcis præséntia. Nil cánitur suávius, Nil audítur iucúndius, Nil cogitátur dúlcius, Quam Iesus Dei Fílius. Iesu, spes pœniténtibus, Quam pius es peténtibus! Quam bonus te quæréntibus! Sed quid inveniéntibus? Nec lingua valet dícere, Nec líttera exprímere: Expértus potest crédere, Quid sit Iesum dilígere. Sis, Iesu, nostrum gáudium, Qui es futúrus prŴmium: Sit nostra in te glória, Per cuncta semper sŴcula. Amen.

Ant. V I will sacrifice a sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. Little Chapter (Philipp. 2: 8-10) Brethren: Chris humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names, that in the name of Jesus ever knee should bow. Hymn Jesu, the very thought is sweet; In that dear Name all heart-joys meet: But sweeter than the honey far The glimpses of his presence are. No word is sung more sweet than this, No name is heard more full of bliss, No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh Than Jesus, Son of God Most High. Jesu! the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, O how kind! But what art thou to them that find? No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write its blessedness: Alone who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art. Be thou our joy, and thou our guard Who art to be our great reward: Our glory and our boast in thee For ever and for ever be. Amen.

V. Sit nomen Dómini benedíctum, allelúia. R. Ex hoc nunc, et usque in sŴculum, allelúia. Ad Magnif. ant. Fecit * mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius, allelúia. Oratio Deus, qui unigénitum Fílium tuum constituísti humáni géneris Salvatórem, et Iesum vocári iussísti: concéde propítius; ut, cuius sanctum nomen venerámur in terris, eius quoque aspéctu perfruámur in cælis. Per eúndem Dóminum.

V. Blessed be the name of the Lord, alleluia. R. Henceforth, now, and for ever, alleluia. Ant. at the Magnificat He that is mighty * hath done great things to me, and holy is his name, alleluia. Prayer (Collect) O God, who didst appoint thine only-begotten Son to be the Saviour of mankind, and didst command that he should be called Jesus: mercifully grant that we may enjoy in heaven the vision of him whose holy name we venerate on earth.

Be with us, Lord; our mental gloom With all thy holy light illume: Disperse the oppressive shades of ill, Creation with thy sweetness fill.

Iesu, spes pœniténtibus, Quam pius es peténtibus! Quam bonus te quæréntibus! Sed quid inveniéntibus? Nec lingua valet dícere, Nec líttera exprímere: Expértus potest crédere, Quid sit Iesum dilígere. Sis, Iesu, nostrum gáudium, Qui es futúrus prŴmium: Sit nostra in te glória, Per cuncta semper sŴcula. Amen.

Little Chapter (Philipp. 2: 8-10) Brethren: Chris humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names, that in the name of Jesus ever knee should bow. Hymn Jesu, the very thought is sweet; In that dear Name all heart-joys meet: But sweeter than the honey far The glimpses of his presence are. No word is sung more sweet than this, No name is heard more full of bliss, No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh Than Jesus, Son of God Most High. Jesu! the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, O how kind! But what art thou to them that find? No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write its blessedness: Alone who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art. Be thou our joy, and thou our guard Who art to be our great reward: Our glory and our boast in thee For ever and for ever be. Amen.

Little Chapter (Is. 60: 1) Arise, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Hymn Why, impious Herod, vainly fear That Christ our Saviour cometh here? He takes not earthly realms away Who gives the crown that lasts for aye. To greet his birth the Wise Men went, Led by the star before them sent; Called on by light, towards Light they pressed, And by their gifts their God confessed. In holy Jordan's purest wave, The heavenly Lamb vouchsafed to lave; That he, to whom was sin unknown,

None, Bethlehem, can equal thee; Salvation's King from heaven's dread throne, Was born in flesh in thee alone. A star, whose fairness and whose light Exceeds the sun's own radiance bright, Hath come, to all the lands to tell That God in flesh on earth doth dwell. Right soon the Magi see his face, And eastern gifts before him place, And bending low, their prayer unfold With incense, myrrh, and royal gold. The fragrant incense which they bring Shews him as God; and gold as King; The bitter spicy dust of myrrh Foreshadows his new sepulchre. All glory, Jesu, be to thee For this thy glad Epiphany; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen. V. Adore God, alleluia. R. All ye his angels, alleluia. Ant. at the Benedictus This day * is the Church united to the heavenly Spouse, for Christ, in the Jordan, washes away her sins: the magi run to the royal nuptials with their gifts: and the guests of the feast are gladdened by the water changed into wine, alleluia. Prayer (Collect) O God, who by the guidance of a star didst on this day manifest thine only-begotten Son to the gentiles: mercifully grant that we, who now know thee by faith, may be one day brought to the contemplation of thy beatific vision.

There Jesus did good Joseph's will; And Mary gladly served them both As mother-wife, yet virgin still. Her every care was Joseph's too, Who toiled in love from dawn till night; And so to them could grace accrue From him who is the source of might; For love of Jesus made these twain In love conjugal e'en as one, Whereby a great reward they gain, Eternal love from him, their Son. Like this, may Christian homes on earth In holy charity increase; Love sweeten pain, and give it worth, And keep them all in God's sweet peace. Praise God, who served, whilst here on earth, Joseph, and her who gave him birth; Whom with the Father, we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Little Chapter (Luk. 2: 51) Jesus went down with Mary and Joseph, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them. Hymn The blessed light of Saints above, Sweet hope of mortals here below, Art thou, O Jesu, who the love Of human home and hearth didst know. O Mary, thou art full of grace, Who Jesus nursed at thy breast, And kissed his blessed, laughing face Whilst in thine arms he took his rest. O Joseph, thou of all our race Elected wast to guard the fame Of Mary, Virgin full of grace, And give her Son a father's name. O Mary! Joseph! holy twain From Jesse's root and David's seed, Who ushered in salvation's reign, Help all who at Christ's altars plead. The sun declineth towards the west, And dusk of night is drawing near, O take to God the heart's behest Of each and all who linger here. Sweet home of Nazareth, in thee All grace and virtue can we see; Lord, grant each Christian home to be, Like thine, a holy family. Praise God, who served, whilst here on earth, Joseph, and her who gave him birth; Whom with the Father, we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen. V. I will cause all thy children to be taught of the Lord. R. And great shall be the peace of thy children. Ant. at the Magnificat But Mary * kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. Prayer (Collect) O Lord Jesus Christ, who, by thy subjection to Mary and Joseph, thou consecrated family life with wonderful virtues: grant that , by their joint assistance, we may fashion our lives after the example of the Holy Family, and obtain everlasting fellowing with it.

ens. † Little Chapter (1 Cor. 9: 24) Brethren: Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain. Hymn Maker of all, eternal King, Who day and night about dost bring, Thou, weary mortals to relieve, Dost in their turn the seasons give. Lo! chanticleer proclaims each day, And calls the sun's awakening ray To be the pilgrim's guiding light, And mark the watches night by night. Roused at the note, the morning star Heaven's dusky veil uplifts afar; Night's vagrant bands no longer roam, But from their dark ways hie them home. Encouraged sailors then no more Do fear the raging billow's roar; Lo! e'en the very Church's Rock Melts at the crowing of the cock. So daily let us ardent rise; The cock rebukes men's slumbering eyes, Bestirs who still in sleep would lie, And shames who would their Lord deny. New hope his clarion note awakes, Sickness the feeble frame forsakes, The robber sheathes his lawless sword, Faith to the fallen is restored. Look on us, Jesu, when we fall, And with the look our souls recall; If thou but look, our sins are gone, And with due tears our pardon won. Shed through our hearts thy piercing ray, Our souls' dull slumber drive away; Thy Name be first on every tongue, To thee our earliest praise be sung. To God the Father, glory be, And to his sole-begotten Son, Glory, O Holy Ghost, to thee, While everlasting ages run. Amen. V. O Lord, thou hast been our refuge. R. From generation to generation. Ant. at the Benedictus The kingdom of heaven * is like to a householder who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard, saith the Lord. Prayer (Collect) O Lord, we beseech the graciously to hear

MAUNDY THURSDAY 1st class

A Matutino huius feriæ usque ad Completorium Sabbati sancti inclusive, in fine psalmorum omittitur Glória Patri. Laudes absolute a prima antiphona incipiuntur.

From Matins of this day until Compline of Holy Saturday inclusive, Glory be to the Father is omitted at the end of the psalms at all. Lauds begins immediately at the first antiphon.

Ant. I Iustificéris, Dómine, * in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.

Ant. I Thou shalt be justified, O Lord, * in thy words, and shalt overcome when thou art judged. Psalm 50 Have mercy upon me, O God, * according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies: * blot out my iniquity. Wash me yet more from my iniquity: * and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my iniquity: * and my sin is always before me.

Ad Laudes

Psalmus 50 Miserére mei Deus, * secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam. Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me. Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris. Ecce enim in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi. Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor. Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta. Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis. Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me. Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me. Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur. Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea iustítiam tuam.

Lauds

Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: * that thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sins did my mother conceive me. For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

Maundy Thursday Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam. Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis. Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus non despícies. Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem. Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos. Et non dicitur Glória Patri. Ant. I Iustificéris, Dómine, in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris. Ant. II Dóminus * tamquam ovis ad víctimam ductus est, et non apéruit os suum. Psalmus 89 Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis: * a generatióne et generatiónem. Priúsquam montes fíerent, aut formarétur terra et orbis: * a sæculo et usque in sŴculum tu es, Deus. Ne avértas hóminem in humilitátem: * et dixísti: Convertímini, fílii hóminum. Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos, * tamquam dies hestérna, prætériit. Et custódia in nocte, * quæ pro níhilo habéntur, eórum anni erunt. Mane sicut herba tránseat, mane flóreat, et tránseat: * véspere décidat, indúret et aréscat. Quia defécimus in ira tua, * et in furóre tuo turbáti sumus. Posuísti iniquitátes nostras in conspéctu tuo: * sŴculum nostrum in illuminatióne vultus tui. Quóniam omnes dies nostri defecérunt: * et in ira tua defécimus. Anni nostri sicut aránea meditabúntur: * dies annórum nostrórum in ipsis,

Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thine altar. And Glory be to the Father is not said. Ant. I Thou shalt be justified, O Lord, in thy words, and shalt overcome when thou art judged. Ant. II The Lord * was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and he opened not his mouth. Psalm 89 O Lord, thou hast been our refuge: * from generation to generation. Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world were formed: * from everlasting and to everlasting thou art God. Turn not man away to be brought low: * thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men. For a thousand years in thy sight * are but as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night: * as things are counted as nought, so shall their years be. In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: * in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither. For in thy wrath we have fainted away: * and are troubled in thine indignation. Thou hast set our iniquities before thine eyes: * our life in the light of thy countenance. For all our days are spent: * and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider: * the days of our years are threescore and

septuagínta anni. Si autem in potentátibus, octogínta anni: * et ámplius eórum, labor et dolor. Quóniam supervénit mansuetúdo: * et corripiémur. Quis novit potestátem iræ tuæ: * et præ timóre tuo iram tuam dinumeráre? Déxteram tuam sic notam fac: * et erudítos corde in sapiéntia. Convértere, Dómine, úsquequo? * et deprecábilis esto super servos tuos. Repléti sumus mane misericórdia tua: * et exsultávimus, et delectáti sumus ómnibus diébus nostris. Lætáti sumus pro diébus, quibus nos humiliásti: * annis, quibus vídimus mala. Réspice in servos tuos, et in ópera tua: * et dírige fílios eórum. Et sit splendor Dómini Dei nostri super nos, et ópera mánuum nostrárum dírige super nos: * et opus mánuum nostrárum dírige. Et non dicitur Glória Patri. Ant. II Dóminus tamquam ovis ad víctimam ductus est, et non apéruit os suum. Ant. III Contrítum est * cor meum in médio mei, contremuérunt ómnia ossa mea. Psalmus 35 Dixit iniústus ut delínquat in semetípso: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eius. Quóniam dolóse egit in conspéctu eius: * ut inveniátur iníquitas eius ad ódium. Verba oris eius iníquitas, et dolus: * nóluit intellígere ut bene ágeret. Iniquitátem meditátus est in cubíli suo: * ástitit omni viæ non bonæ, malítiam autem non odívit. Dómine, in cælo misericórdia tua: * et véritas tua usque ad nubes. Iustítia tua sicut montes Dei: * iudícia tua abyssus multa.

ten. But if the strong they be fourscore years: * and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For humiliation is come upon us, * and we shall be corrected. Who knoweth the power of thine anger, * and for thy fear who can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known, * and the learned in heart in wisdom. Return, O Lord, how long? * and be entreated in favour of thy servants. We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: * and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days. We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: * for the years in which we have seen evils. Look upon thy servants and upon thy works: * and direct their children. And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; * yea, the work of our hands do thou direct. And Glory be to the Father is not said. _____________________________ Ant. II The Lord was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and he opened not his mouth. Ant. III My heart is broken * with me, and all my bones trembled. Psalm 35 The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: * there is no fear of God before his eyes. For in his sight he hath done deceitfully: * that his iniquity may be found unto hatred. The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: * he would not understand that he might do well. He hath devised iniquity on his bed: * he hath set himself on every way that is not good; but evil he hath not hated. O Lord, thy mercy is in the heavens: * and thy truth reacheth even unto the clouds. Thy justice is as the mountains of God: * thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord: * O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God!

Maundy Thursday Fílii autem hóminum, * in tégmine alárum tuárum sperábunt. Inebriabúntur ab ubertáte domus tuæ: * et torrénte voluptátis tuæ potábis eos. Quóniam apud te est fons vitæ: * et in lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen. Præténde misericórdiam tuam sciéntibus te, * et iustítiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde. Non véniat mihi pes supérbiæ: * et manus peccatóris non móveat me. Ibi cecidérunt qui operántur iniquitátem: * expúlsi sunt, nec potuérunt stare. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

But the children of men * shall put their trust: under the covert of thy wings. They shall be inebriated with the plenteousness of thy house: * and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure. For with thee is the well of life: * and in thy light shall we see light. Stretch forth thy mercy unto them that know thee: * and thy justice unto them that are right of heart. Let not the foot of pride come unto me: * and let not the hand of the sinner move me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: * they are cast out, and they could not stand. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. III Contrítum est cor meum in médio mei, contremuérunt ómnia ossa mea. Ant. IV Exhortátus es * in virtáte tua, et in refectióne sancta tua, Dómine.

Ant. III My heart is broken with me, and all my bones trembled. Ant. IV O Lord, thou hast exhorted us * by thy strength, and in thy holy banquet.

Canticum Moysis Exod. 15: 1-18 Cantémus Dómino: glorióse enim magnificátus est, * equum et ascensórem deiécit in mare. Fortitúdo mea, et laus mea Dóminus, * et factus est mihi in salútem. Iste Deus meus, et glorificábo eum: * Deus patris mei, et exaltábo eum. Dóminus quasi vir pugnátor, Omnípotens nomen eius. * Currus Pharaónis et exércitum eius proiécit in mare. Elécti príncipes eius submérsi sunt in mari Rubro: * abyssi operuérunt eos, descendérunt in profúndum quasi lapis.

Canticle of Moses Exod. 15: 1-18 Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, * the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my praise, * and he is become my salvation. He is my God, and I will glorify him: * the God of my father, and I will exalt him. The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name. * Pharao's chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea: His chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea: * the depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone. Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy. * And in the multitude of thy glory thou hast put down thy adversaries. Thou hast sent thy wrath, which hat devoured them like stubble. * And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together. The flowing water stood, * the depths were gathered together in the midst of the sea.

Déxtera tua, Dómine, magnificáta est in fortitúdine: déxtera tua, Dómine, percússit inimícum. * Et in multitúdine glóriæ tuæ deposuísti adversários meos. Misísti iram tuam, quæ devorávit eos sicut stípulam. * Et in spíritu furóris tui congregátæ sunt aquæ: Stetit unda fluens, * congregátæ sunt abyssi in médio mari.

Maundy Thursday

Dixit inimícus: Pérsequar et comprehéndam, * dívidam spólia, implébitur ánima mea: Evaginábo gládium meum, * interfíciet eos manus mea. Flavit spíritus tuus, et opéruit eos mare: * submérsi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis veheméntibus. Quis símilis tui in fórtibus, Dómine? * quis símilis tui, magníficus in sanctitáte, terríbilis atque laudábilis, fáciens mirabília? Extendísti manum tuam, et devorávit eos terra. * Dux fuísti in misericórdia tua pópulo quem redemísti: Et portásti eum in fortitúdine tua, * ad habitáculum sanctum tuum. Ascendérunt pópuli, et iráti sunt: * dolóres obtinuérunt habitatóres Philísthiim. Tunc conturbáti sunt príncipes Edom, robústos Moab obtínuit tremor: * obriguérunt omnes habitatóres Chánaan. Irruat super eos formído et pavor, * in magnitúdine bráchii tui: Fiant immóbiles quasi lapis, donec pertránseat pópulus tuus, Dómine, * donec pertránseat pópulus tuus iste, quem possedísti. Introdúces eos, et plantábis in monte hereditátis tuæ, * firmíssimo habitáculo tuo quod operátus es, Dómine. Sanctuárium tuum, Dómine, quod firmavérunt manus tuæ. * Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum et ultra. Ingréssus est enim eques Phárao cum cúrribus et equítibus eius in mare: * et redúxit super eos Dóminus aquas maris: Fílii autem Israël ambulavérunt per siccum * in médio eius. Et non dicitur Glória Patri Ant. IV Exhortátus es in virtáte tua, et in refectióne sancta tua, Dómine. Ant. V Oblátus est * quia ipse vóluit, et peccáta nostra ipse portávit.

The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, * I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill. I will draw my sword, * my hand shall slay them. Thy wind blew, and the sea covered them: * they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like to thee among the strong, O Lord? * who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them. * In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed: And in thy strength thou hast carried them * to thy holy habitation. Nations rose up and were angry: * sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of the Philisthiim. Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: * all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff. Let fear and dread fall upon them: * in the greatness of thy arm: Let them become unmovable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: * until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, * in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made, O Lord. Thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established: * the Lord shall reign for ever and ever. For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: * and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea: But the children of Israel walked on dry ground * in the midst thereof. And Glory be to the Father is not said. Ant. IV O Lord, thou hast exhorted us by thy strength, and in thy holy banquet. Ant. V He was offered up * because he willed it, and he hath borne our sins. Psalm 134

Maundy Thursday Psalmus 134Psalmus 146 Laudáte Dóminum quóniam bonus est psalmus: * Deo nostro sit iucúnda, decóraque laudátio. Ædíficans Ierúsalem Dóminus: * dispersiónes Israël congregábit. Qui sanat contrítos corde: * et álligat contritiónes eórum. Qui númerat multitúdinem stellárum: * et ómnibus eis nómina vocat. Magnus Dóminus noster, et magna virtus eius: * et sapiéntiæ eius non est númerus. Suscípiens mansuétos Dóminus: * humílians autem peccatóres usque ad terram. Præcínite Dómino in confessióne: * psállite Deo nostro in cíthara. Qui óperit cælum núbibus: * et parat terræ plúviam. Qui prodúcit in móntibus fœnum: * et herbam servitúti hóminum.

Psalm 146 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing praises: * let the praise of our God be joyful and comely. The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: * he will gather together the dispersed of Israel. Who healeth the broken of heart: * and bindeth up their bruises. Who telleth the number of the stars: * and calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and great is his power: * and of his wisdom there is no measure.

Qui dat iuméntis escam ipsórum: * et pullis corvórum invocántibus eum. Non in fortitúdine equi voluntátem habébit: * nec in tíbiis viri beneplácitum erit ei. Beneplácitum est Dómino super timéntes eum: * et in eis, qui sperant super misericórdia eius. Et non dicitur Glória Patri

The Lord lifteth up the meek: * and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground. Sing ye to the Lord with praise: * sing unto our God upon the harp. Who covereth the heaven with clouds: * and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains: * and herbs for the service of men. Who giveth to beasts their food: * and to the young ravens that call upon him. He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: * nor take pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: * and in them that hope in his mercy. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. V Oblátus est quia ipse vóluit, et peccáta nostra ipse portávit.

Ant. V He was offered up because he willed it, and he hath borne our sins.

Capitulum et hymnus non dicuntur in hoc triduo. V. Homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi. R. Qui edébat panes meos, ampliávit advérsum me supplantatiónem. Ad Bened. ant. Tráditor autem * dedit eis signum, dicens: Quem osculátus fúero, ipse est, tenéte eum.

The little chapter and hymn are not said during the Triduum. V. The man of my peace in whom I trusted. R. Who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me. Ant. at the Benedictus The traitor * gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever i shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast. Canticle of Zacharia (Luk. 1: 68-79) Blessed † be the Lord God of Israel: * because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people. And he hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, * in the house of David his servant.

Canticum Zachariæ (Luc. 1: 68-79) Benedíctus † Dóminus, Deus Israël: * quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ: Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: * in domo David, púeri sui.

Maundy Thursday

Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum eius: Salútem ex inimícis nostris, * et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos. Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris: * et memorári testaménti sui sancti. Iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, * datúrum se nobis: Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, * serviámus illi. In sanctitáte, et iustítia coram ipso, * ómnibus diébus nostris. Et tu, puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: * præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini, paráre vias eius: Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius: * in remissiónem peccatórum eórum: Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri: * in quibus visitávit nos, óriens ex alto: Illumináre his, qui in ténebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: * ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis. Et non dicitur Glória Patri. Ant. Tráditor autem dedit eis signum, dicens: Quem osculátus fúero, ipse est, tenéte eum. Dum dicitur canticum Benedíctus, exstinctis prius omnibus candelis in candelabro triangulari, præter unam, quæ accensa remanet in summitate candelabri, exstinguuntur paulatim sex candelæ positæ super altare, ita ut ad ultimum versum cantici exstinguatur ultima candella. Similiter exstinguuntur luminaria et lampades per ecclesiam. Repetita antiphona ad Benedíctus, dicitur flexis genibus: Ant. Christus factus est pro nobis obédiens usque ad mortem.

As he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets * who are from the beginning. Salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us. To perform mercy to our Fathers, * and to remember his holy testament. The oath which he swore to Abraham, our Father; * that he would grant to us. That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear. In holiness and justice before him * all our days. And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: To give to his people the knowledge of salvation: * unto the remission of their sins: Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, * in which the Orient from on high hath visited us: To enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death; * to direct our feet into the way of peace And Glory be to the Father is not said. Ant. The traitor gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever i shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast.

Fílii hóminum, úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem et quŴritis mendácium? Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exáudiet me cum clamávero ad eum. Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: * quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, in cubílibus vestris compungímini. Sacrificáte sacrifícium iustítiæ, et speráte in Dómino, * multi dicunt quis osténdit nobis bona? Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo. A fructu fruménti, vini et ólei sui * multiplicáti sunt. In pace in idípsum * dórmiam et requiéscam; Quóniam tu, Dómine, singuláriter in spe * constituísti me. Et non dicitur Glória Patri. Psalmus 90 Qui hábitat in adiutório Altíssimi, * in protectióne Dei cæli commorábitur. Dicet Dómino: Suscéptor meus es tu, et refúgium meum: * Deus meus sperábo in eum. Quóniam ipse liberávit me de láqueo venántium, * et a verbo áspero. Scápulis suis obumbrábit tibi: * et sub pennis eius sperábis. Scuto circúmdabit te véritas eius: * non timébis a timóre noctúrno. A sagítta volánte in die, a negótio perambulánte in ténebris: * ab incúrsu et dæmónio meridiáno.

Psalm 4 He hath heard me when I call, the God of my righteousness: * thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble. Have mercy upon me, * and hearken unto my prayer. O ye sons of men, how long will ye be dull of heart? * and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly; * when I call upon the Lord he will hear me. Be ye angry, and sin not; * the things that ye say in your hearts, repent ye them upon your beds. Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord, * there be many that say, who will shew us any good? The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is sealed upon us, * thou hast put gladness in my heart. By the fruit of their corn and wine and oil * have they been multiplied. I will lay me down in peace, * and take my rest; For it is thou, Lord, only, * that makest me dwell in safety. And Glory be to the Father is not said. Psalm 90 He that dwelleth under the defence of the Most High, * shall abide under the shadow of the God of heaven. He shall say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my stronghold; * my God, in him will I trust. For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunter, * and from the noisome pestilence. He shall defend thee under his wings, * and thou shalt be safe under his feathers His truth shall be thy shield to compass thee round about; * thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night. Nor for the arrow that flieth by day, for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, * nor for the demon that destroyeth in the

Quóniam tu es, Dómine, spes mea: * Altíssimum posuísti refúgium tuum. Non accédet ad te malum: * et flagéllum non appropinquábit tabernáculo tuo. Quóniam Angelis suis mandávit de te: * ut custódiant te in ómnibus viis tuis. In mánibus portábunt te: * ne forte offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum. Super áspidem et basilíscum ambulábis: * et conculcábis leónem et dracónem. Quóniam in me sperávit, liberábo eum: * prótegam eum quóniam cognóvit nomen meum. Clamábit ad me, et ego exáudiam eum: * cum ipso sum in tribulatióne: erípiam eum et glorificábo eum. Longitúdine diérum replébo eum: * et osténdam illi salutáre meum. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

noon-day. A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; * but it shall not come nigh thee. Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, * and see the reward of the ungodly.

For he hath given his angels charge over thee, * to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee in their hands, * that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.

Post psalmos immediate additur: Canticum Simeonis (Luc. 2: 29-32) Nunc dimíttis † servum tuum, Dómine, * secúndum verbum tuum in pace: Quia vidérunt óculi mei * salutáre tuum, Quod parásti * ante fáciem ómnium populórum, Lumen ad revelatiónem Géntium, * et glóriam plebis tuæ Israël. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

Et sub silentio concluditur: Per Dóminum.

Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me. Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.

Ant. I God spared * not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all. Psalm 50 Have mercy upon me, O God, * according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies: * blot out my iniquity. Wash me yet more from my iniquity: * and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my iniquity: * and my sin is always before me.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: * that thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sins did my mother conceive me. For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and

Good Friday exsultábunt ossa humiliáta. Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis. Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me. Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me. Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur. Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea iustítiam tuam. Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam. Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis. Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus non despícies. Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem. Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thine altar. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. I Próprio Fílio suo non pepércit Deus, sed pro nobis ómnibus trádidit illum. Ant. II Anxiátus est super me * spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum.

Ant. I God spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all. Ant. II My spirit is in anguish * within me, my heart within me is troubled.

Psalmus 142 Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam: áuribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam in veritáte tua: * exáudi me in tua iustítia. Et non intres in iudícium cum servo tuo: * quia non iustificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens. Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam: * humiliávit in terra vitam meam.

Psalm 142 Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplication in thy truth: * hearken unto me for thy justice's sake. And enter not into judgment with thy servant: * for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: * he hath brought my life down unto the ground. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been long dead: * and my spirit is vexed within me; my heart within me is troubled.

Collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos sŴculi: * et anxiátus est super me spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum.

Good Friday

Memor fui diérum antiquórum, meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis: * in factis mánuum tuárum meditábar. Expándi manus meas ad te: * ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi. Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine: * defécit spíritus meus. Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * et símilis ero descendéntibus in lacum. Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam: * quia in te sperávi. Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem: * quia ad te levávi ánimam meam. Eripe me de inimícis meis, Dómine, ad te confúgi: * doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me in terram rectam: * propter nomen tuum, Dómine, vivificábis me, in æquitáte tua. Edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam: * et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos. Et perdes omnes, qui tríbulant ánimam meam, * quóniam ego servus tuus sum. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

I remember the days of old: I meditated on all thy works: * I have mused upon the works of thy hands. I stretched forth my hands unto thee: * my soul gaspeth unto thee, as a land where no water is. Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me: * lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Make me to hear thy mercy in the morning: * for in thee have I hoped. Make me to know the way wherein I should walk: * for to thee have I lifted up my soul. Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord, unto thee have I fled: * teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land: * for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou shalt quicken me in thy justice. Thou shalt bring my soul out of trouble: * and in thy mercy thou shalt destroy mine enemies. And thou shalt destroy all them that afflict my soul: * for I am thy servant. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. II Anxiátus est super me spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum. Ant. III Ai latro ad latrónem: * Nos quidem digna factis recípimus, hic autem quid fecit? Meménto mei, Dómine, dum véneris in regnum tuum.

Ant. II My spirit is in anguish within me, my heart within me is troubled. Ant. III The thief said to the thief: * We, indeed, receive the due reward of our deeds; but what has this Man done? Remember me, O Lord, when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

Psalmus 84 Benedixísti, Dómine, terram tuam: * avertísti captivitátem Iacob. Remisísti iniquitátem plebis tuæ: * operuísti ómnia peccáta eórum.

Psalm 84 Thou hast blessed thy land, O Lord: * thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: * thou hast covered all their sins. Thou hast softened all thine anger: * thou hast turned away from the wrath of thine indignation. Covert us, O God our Saviour: * and turn away thine anger from us. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? * or wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from generation to generation? Thou shalt turn again, O God, and quicken

Et super sanctos suos: * et in eos, qui convertúntur ad cor. Verúmtamen prope timéntes eum salutáre ipsíus: * ut inhábitet glória in terra nostra. Misericórdia, et véritas obviavérunt sibi: * iustítia, et pax osculátæ sunt. Véritas de terra orta est: * et iustítia de cælo prospéxit. Etenim Dóminus dabit benignitátem: * et terra nostra dabit fructum suum. Iustítia ante eum ambulábit: * et ponet in via gressus suos. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

And unto his saints: * and unto them that are converted in heart. Surely his salvation is nigh unto them that fear him: * that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth have met together: * justice and peace have kissed each other. Truth is sprung out of the earth, * and justice hath looked down from heaven. For the Lord shall give goodness: * and our earth shall yield her fruit. Justice shall walk before him: * and shall set his steps in the way. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. III Ai latro ad latrónem: Nos quidem digna factis recípimus, hic autem quid fecit? Meménto mei, Dómine, dum véneris in regnum tuum.

Ant. III The thief said to the thief: We, indeed, receive the due reward of our deeds; but what has this Man done? Remember me, O Lord, when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. Ant. IV When my soul shall be in trouble, * O Lord, thou wilt be mindful of thy mercy.

Opéruit cælos glória eius: * et laudis eius plena est terra. Splendor eius ut lux erit: * córnua in mánibus eius: Ibi abscóndita est fortitúdo eius: * ante fáciem eius íbit mors. Et egrediétur diábolus ante pedes eius. * Stetit, et mensus est terram. Aspéxit, et dissólvit Gentes: * et contríti sunt montes sŴculi.

Canticle of Habacuc Hab. 3: 2-19 O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, * and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, * in the midst of the years bring it to life. In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: * when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy. God will come from the South, * and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, * and the earth is full of his praise. His brightness shall be as the light: * horns are in his hands. There is his strength hid: * death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go before his feet: * he stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: * and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces.

Numquid in flumínibus irátus es, Dómine? * aut in flumínibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignátio tua? Qui ascéndes super equos tuos: * et quadrígæ tuæ salvátio. Súscitans suscitábis arcum tuum: * iuraménta tríbubus quæ locútus es. Flúvios scindes terræ: vidérunt te, et doluérunt montes: * gurges aquárum tránsiit. Dedit abyssus vocem suam: * altitúdo manus suas levávit. Sol, et luna stetérunt in habitáculo suo, * in luce sagittárum tuárum, íbunt in splendóre fulgurántis hastæ tuæ. In frémitu conculcábis terram: * et in furóre obstupefácies Gentes. Egréssus es in salútem pópuli tui: * in salútem cum Christo tuo. Percussísti caput de domo ímpii: * denudásti fundaméntum eius usque ad collum. Maledixísti sceptris eius, cápiti bellatórum eius, * veniéntibus ut turbo ad dispergéndum me. Exsultátio eórum, * sicut eius, qui dévorat páuperem in abscóndito. Viam fecísti in mari equis tuis, * in luto aquárum multárum.

The hills of the world were bowed down, * by the journeys of his eternity. I saw the tenets of Ethiopia for their iniquity: * the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled. Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? * or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation upon the sea? Who wilt ride upon thy horses: * and thy chariots are salvation. Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: * according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes: Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth: the mountains saw thee, and were grieved: * the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: * the deep lifted up its hands. The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, * in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the light of thy glittering spear. In thy anger thou wilt treat the earth under foot: * in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: * for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: * thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck. Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, * them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy * was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret. Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, * in the mud of many waters. I have heard, and my bowels were troubled: * my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, * and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: * that I may go up to our people that are girded. For the fig-tree shall not blossom: * and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail, * and the fields shall yield no food. The flock shall be cut off from the fold, * and there shall be no herd in the stalls. But I will rejoice in the Lord: * and I will joy in God my Jesus. The Lord God is my strength: * and he

Psalm 147 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: * praise thy God, O Sion. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates: * he hath blessed thy children within thee. Who hath made peace in thy borders: * and filleth thee with the fat of corn. Who sendeth forth his speech upon the earth: * this word runneth very swiftly. Who giveth snow like wool: * he scattereth mists like ashes. He sendeth his crystal like morsels: * who shall stand before the face of his cold? He shall send out his word and shall melt them: * his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run. Who declareth his word unto Jacob: * his justice and judgments unto Israel. He hath not done in like manner to every nation: * and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me. Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.

Holy Saturday

exsultábunt ossa humiliáta. Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis. Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me. Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me. Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur. Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea iustítiam tuam. Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam. Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis. Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus non despícies. Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem. Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thine altar. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. I O mors, ero mors tua, morsus tuus ero, inférne. Ant. II Plangent eum * quasi unigénitum, quia ínnocens Dóminus occísus est.

Ant. I O death! I will be thy death. O hell! I will be thy ruin. Ant. II They shall morn for him * as for an only son; because the innocent Lord is slain.

Psalmus 91 Bonum est confitéri Dómino: * et psállere nómini tuo, Altíssime.

Psalm 91 It is good to give praise unto the Lord: * and to sing to thy name, O thou Most High. To show forth thy mercy in the morning: * and thy truth in the night. Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: * with a song upon the harp. For thou hast given me, O Lord, delight in thy doings: * and in the works of thy hands shall I rejoice. O Lord, how great are thy works! * thy

Et exaltábitur sicut unicórnis cornu meum: * et senéctus mea in misericórdia úberi. Et despéxit óculus meus inimícos meos: * et in insurgéntibus in me malignántibus áudiet auris mea. Iustus, ut palma florébit: * sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur. Plantáti in domo Dómini, * in átriis domus Dei nostri florébunt. Adhuc multiplicabúntur in senécta úberi: * et bene patiéntes erunt, ut annúntient: Quóniam rectus Dóminus, Deus noster: * et non est iníquitas in eo. Et non dicitur Glória Patri. Ant.

Psalmus 63 Exáudi, Deus, oratiónem meam cum déprecor: * a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam. Protexísti me a convéntu malignántium: * a multitúdine operántium iniquitátem. Quia exacuérunt ut gládium linguas suas: * intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum. Súbito sagittábunt eum, et non timébunt: *

thoughts are exceeding deep. The unwise man shall not know: * nor will the fool understand these things. When the wicked shall spring up as grass: * and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: * but thou, O Lord, art Most High for evermore. For behold thine enemies, O Lord, for behold thine enemies shall perish: * and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: * and my old age in plentiful mercy. Mine eye also hath looked down upon mine enemies: * and mine ear shall hear the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me. The just shall flourish like the palm tree: * he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. They that are planted in the house of the Lord: * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. They shall still increase in the house of the Lord: * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God. That the Lord our God is upright: * and there is no iniquity in him. And Glory be to the Father is not said. Ant. II They shall morn for him as for an only son; because the innocent Lord is slain. Ant. III Attend, * all ye people, and see my sorrow. Psalm 63 Hear my prayer, O God, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy. Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant: * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

firmavérunt sibi sermónem nequam. Narravérunt ut abscónderent láqueos: * dixérunt: Quis vidébit eos? Scrutáti sunt iniquitátes: * defecérunt scrutántes scrutínio.

Conturbáti sunt omnes qui vidébant eos: * et tímuit omnis homo. Et annuntiavérunt ópera Dei, * et facta eius intellexérunt.

They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues are made weak against them. All that saw them were troubled: * and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings. The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Canticum Ezechiæ Is. 38: 10-20 Ego dixi: in dimídio diérum meórum * vadam ad portas ínferi. Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium. Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, * et habitatórem quiétis. Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, * quasi tabernáculum pastórum. Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: * de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.

Canticle of Ezechias Is. 38: 10-20 I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go to the gates of hell. I sought for the residue of my years: * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more, * nor the inhabitants of rest. My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me * as a shepherd's tent. My life is cut off as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. I hoped till morning; * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones: From morning even till night thou wilt make an end of me: * I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove. My eyes are weakened * looking upward.

Sperábam usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea: De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: * sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba: Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, * suspiciéntes in excélsum: Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?

Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, neque mors laudábit te: * non exspectábunt qui descéndunt in lacum, veritátem tuam. Vivens vivens ipse confitébitur tibi, sicut et ego hódie: * pater fíliis notam fáciet veritátem tuam. Dómine, salvum me fac, * et psalmos nostros cantábimus cunctis diébus vitæ nostræ in domo Dómini.

O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter. But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, * thou hast cast all my sins behind my back. For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: * nor shall they that go down into the pit look for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: * the father shall make thy truth known to the children. O Lord, save me, * and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Psalmus 150 Laudáte Dóminum in sanctis eius: * laudáte eum in firmaménto virtútis eius. Laudáte eum in virtútibus eius: * laudáte eum secúndum multitúdinem magnitúdinis eius.

Ant. IV From the gate of hell, O Lord, deliver my soul. Ant. V O all ye * that pass by the way, attend and see if there be sorrow like unto my sorrow. Psalm 134 Psalm 150 Praise the Lord in his holy places: * praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him in his mighty acts: * praise him according to the multitude of his greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: * praise him with psaltery and harp. Praise him with timbrel and choir: * praise him with strings and organs. Praise him upon the high-sounding cymbals; praise him upon cymbals of joy: * let every spirit praise the Lord. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Who are purposed to supplant my steps: * the proud have hidden a net for me: And they have stretched out cords for a snare: * they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside. I said unto my Lord: Thou art my God: * hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.

Custódi me, Dómine, de manu peccatóris: * et ab homínibus iníquis éripe me. Qui cogitavérunt supplantáre gressus meos: * abscondérunt supérbi láqueum mihi: Et funes extendérunt in láqueum: * iuxta iter scándalum posuérunt mihi. Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu: * exáudi, Dómine, vocem deprecatiónis meæ.

Holy Saturday Dómine, Dómine, virtus salútis meæ: * obumbrásti super caput meum in die belli. Ne tradas me, Dómine, a desidério meo peccatóri: * cogitavérunt contra me, ne derelínquas me, ne forte exalténtur. Caput circúitus eórum: * labor labiórum ipsórum opériet eos. Cadent super eos carbónes, in ignem deiícies eos: * in misériis non subsístent. Vir linguósus non dirigétur in terra: * virum iniústum mala cápient in intéritu. Cognóvi quia fáciet Dóminus iudícium ínopis: * et vindíctam páuperum. Verúmtamen iusti confitebúntur nómini tuo: * et habitábunt recti cum vultu tuo. Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: * thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle. Give me not up, O Lord, against my desire to the wicked: * they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they triumph. The head of them compassing me about: * the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them. Burning coals shall fall upon them: thou shalt cast them down into the fire: * in their miseries they shall not be able to stand. A man full of words shall not be established in the earth: * evil shall seize the unjust man unto destruction. I know the Lord will do justice to the needy: * and will revenge the poor. But the just shall give glory to thy name: * and the upright shall dwell with the light of thy countenance. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. III Ab homínibus iníquis líbera me, Dómine. Ant. IV Custódi me * a láqueo, quem statuérunt mihi, et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem.

Ant. III From unjust men deliver me, O Lord. Ant. IV Keep me * from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.

Psalmus 140 Dómine, clamávi ad te, exáudi me: * inténde voci meæ, cum clamávero ad te.

Psalm 140 O Lord, I have cried unto thee, hear me: * and hearken unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight: * and the lifting up of my hands, as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: * and a door round about my lips. Incline not my heart to evil words: * to make excuses in sins. With the men that work iniquity: * I will have no dealings with the choicest of them. The just man shall correct me in mercy, and reprove me: * but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head. For my prayer shall still be against the things that please them: * their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have

Non declínes cor meum in verba malítiæ: * ad excusándas excusatiónes in peccátis. Cum homínibus operántibus iniquitátem: * et non communicábo cum eléctis eórum. Corrípiet me iustus in misericórdia, et increpábit me: * óleum autem peccatóris non impínguet caput meum.

Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me: * and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity. The wicked shall fall into his net: * until I pass hence, I am alone. And Glory be to the Father is not said.

Ant. IV Custódi me a láqueo, quem statuérunt mihi, et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem. Ant. V Considerábam * ad déxteram, et vidébam, et non erat qui cognósceret me.

Ant. IV Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity. Ant. V I looked * on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me.

Psalmus 141 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * voce mea ad Dóminum deprecátus sum:

Psalm 141 I cried unto the Lord with my voice: * with my voice I made supplication unto the Lord: In his sight I pour out my prayer: * and before him I declare my trouble.

Effúndo in conspéctu eius oratiónem meam, * et tribulatiónem meam ante ipsum pronúntio. In deficiéndo ex me spíritum meum: * et tu cognovísti sémitas meas. In via hac, qua ambulábam, * abscondérunt láqueum mihi. Considerábam ad déxteram, et vidébam: * et non erat qui cognósceret me. Périit fuga a me: * et non est qui requírat ánimam meam. Clamávi ad te, Dómine, * dixi: Tu es spes mea, pórtio mea in terra vivéntium. Inténde ad deprecatiónem meam: * quia humiliátus sum nimis. Líbera me a persequéntibus me: * quia confortáti sunt super me. Educ de custódia ánimam meam ad confiténdum nómini tuo: * me exspéctant iusti, donec retríbuas mihi. Et non dicitur Glória Patri Ant. V Considerábam ad déxteram, et vidébam, et non erat qui cognósceret me.

When my spirit failed me: * then thou knewest my paths. In the way wherein I walked: * they have hidden a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld: * and there was no man that would know me. Flight hath failed me: * and there is no one that hath regard unto my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord, * and said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my supplication: * for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors: * for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: * the just wait for me, until thou reward me. And Glory be to the Father is not said. Ant. V I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me.

my prayer. O ye sons of men, how long will ye be dull of heart? * and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly; * when I call upon the Lord he will hear me. Be ye angry, and sin not; * the things that ye say in your hearts, repent ye them upon your beds. Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord, * there be many that say, who will shew us any good? The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is sealed upon us, * thou hast put gladness in my heart. By the fruit of their corn and wine and oil * have they been multiplied. I will lay me down in peace, * and take my rest; For it is thou, Lord, only, * that makest me dwell in safety. And Glory be to the Father is not said. Psalm 90 He that dwelleth under the defence of the Most High, * shall abide under the shadow of the God of heaven. He shall say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my stronghold; * my God, in him will I trust. For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunter, * and from the noisome pestilence. He shall defend thee under his wings, * and thou shalt be safe under his feathers His truth shall be thy shield to compass thee round about; * thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night. Nor for the arrow that flieth by day, for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, * nor for the demon that destroyeth in the noon-day. A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; * but it shall not come nigh thee. Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, * and see the reward of the ungodly. For thou, Lord, art my hope; * thou hast set thine house of defence on the Most High.

They shall bear thee in their hands, * that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt go upon the adder and basilisk: * the lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet. Because he hath set his hope upon me, therefore will I deliver him; * I will defend him, because he hath known my Name. He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; * yea, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour. With long life will I satisfy him, * and shew him my salvation.

Accordingly, those who are bound to the recitation of the Divine Office, and who are not present at the procession or other special public prayers, are not obliged to recite the Litany of the Saints with its prayers on these days.

Mortem subíres ínnocens, A morte nos ut tólleres? Perrúmpis inférnum chaos: Vinctis caténas détrahis; Victor triúmpho nóbili Ad déxteram Patris sedes.

Hymn Hail, thou who man's Redeemer art, Jesu, the joy of every heart; Great maker of the world's wide frame, And purest love's delight and flame: What nameless mercy thee o'ercame, To bear our load of sin and shame? For guiltless, thou thy life didst give, That sinful erring man might live. The realms of woe are forced by thee, Its captives from their chains set free; And thou, amid thy ransomed train, At God's right hand dost victor reign. Let mercy sweet with thee prevail, To cure the wounds we now bewail; Oh, bless us with thy holy sight, And fill us with eternal light. Our guide, our way to heavenly rest, Be thou the aim of every breast; Be thou the soother of our tears, Our sweet reward above the spheres. Amen. V. God has ascended in jubilation, alleluia. R. And the Lord with the sound of a trumpet, alleluia. Ant. at the Magnificat Father, * I have manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me: now I pray for them, not for the world, because I come to thee, alleluia.

The realms of woe are forced by thee, Its captives from their chains set free; And thou, amid thy ransomed train, At God's right hand dost victor reign. Let mercy sweet with thee prevail, To cure the wounds we now bewail; Oh, bless us with thy holy sight, And fill us with eternal light. Our guide, our way to heavenly rest, Be thou the aim of every breast; Be thou the soother of our tears, Our sweet reward above the spheres. Amen. V. God hath ascended in jubilation, alleluia. R. And the Lord with the sound of the trumpet, alleluia. Ant. at the Benedictus When the Paraclete is come, * whom I will send to you, the Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, he will give testimony of me, alleluia. Prayer (Collect) O almighty and eternal God, grant that our wills may be ever devoted to thee, and that we may serve thy majesty with a sincere heart. Through our Lord.

All praise be thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Ant. I Glory be to thee, O equal Trinity, * one Deity, both before all ages, and now, and for ever. Psalms of Sunday P13, but the last is Psalm 116 O praise the Lord all ye nations, P17. Ant. II Praise and perpetual glory * be to God, Father and Son, together with the holy Paraclete, for ever and ever. Ant. III Let the glory of praise * sound in every mouth, to the Father, and to the Son begotten of him; to the Holy Ghost also let perpetual praise be given. Ant.

V From whom are all things, * by whom all things, in whom all things: to him be glory for ever.

Hymnus Iam sol recédit ígneus ; Tu, lux perénnis, Unitas, Nostris, beáta Trínitas, Infúnde lumen córdibus. Te mane laudum cármine, Te deprecámur véspere; Dignéris ut te súpplices Laudémus inter cælites. Patri, simúlque Fílio, Tibíque, Sancte Spíritus, Sicut fuit, sit iúgiter Sæclum per omne glória. Amen.

Little Chapter In the Sunday Office and the vigil of Christmas, use that as in the Proper of Seasons. In the ferial Office, the following is said daily Little Chapter (Is. 2: 3) Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Hymn and versicle In the Office of Sundays and ferias, the following hymn and versicle are said: Hymn A thrilling voice by Jordan rings, Rebuking guilt and darksome things: Vain dreams of sin and visions fly; Christ in his might shines forth on high. Now let each torpid soul arise, That sunk in guilt and wounded lies; See! the new Star's refulgent ray Shall chase disease and sin away. The Lamb descends from heaven above To pardon sin with freest love: For such indulgent mercy shewn With tearful joy our thanks we own: That when again he shines revealed, And trembling worlds to terror yield, He give not sin its just reward, But in his love protect and guard. All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose Advent doth thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Hast found the medicine, full of grace, To save and heal a ruined race.

Thou camest, the Bridegroom of the Bride,

As drew the world to evening tide, Proceeding from a virgin shrine, The spotless Victim all divine. At whose dread Name, majestic now,

All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;

And things celestial thee shall own And things terrestrial, Lord alone. O thou whose coming is with dread, To judge and doom the quick and dead, Preserve us, while we dwell below, From every insult of the foe. All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose Advent doth thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Secréta, quæ non nóverat. Domus pudíci péctoris Templum repénte fit Dei: Intácta nésciens virum, Concépit alvo Fílium. Enítitur puérpera, Quem Gábriel prædíxerat, Quem ventre Matris géstiens, Baptísta clausum sénserat. Fœno iacére pértulit: Præsépe non abhórruit: Et lacte módico pastus est, Per quem nec ales ésurit.

Yet calls that Offspring blest her own. The mansion of the modest breast Becomes a shrine where God shall rest: The pure and undefiled one Within her womb conceived the Son. That Son, that royal Son, she bore, Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore; Whom, in his Mother yet concealed, The infant Baptist had revealed. The manger and the straw he bore, The cradle did he not abhor: A little milk his infant fare Who feedeth even each fowl of air. The heavenly chorus filled the sky, The Angels sang to God on high, What time to shepherds, watching lone, They made creation's Shepherd known. All honour, laud and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.

Right soon the Magi see his face, And eastern gifts before him place, And bending low, their prayer unfold With incense, myrrh, and royal gold.

To greet his birth the Wise Men went, Led by the star before them sent; Called on by light, towards Light they pressed, And by their gifts their God confessed. In holy Jordan's purest wave, The heavenly Lamb vouchsafed to lave; That he, to whom was sin unknown, Might cleanse his people from their own. New miracle of Power Divine!

Sempitérna sit beátæ Trinitáti glória, Æqua Patri, Filióque; Par decus Paráclito: Uníus Triníque nomen Laudet univérsitas. Amen.

Hymn Thirty years among us dwelling, His appointed time fulfilled, Born for this, he meets his Passion, For that this he freely willed : On the Cross the Lamb is lifted, Where his life-Blood shall be spilled. He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar, and spear, and reed : From that holy Body broken Blood and Water forth proceed : Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean, By that flood from stain are freed. Faithful Cross! above all other, One and only noble Tree; None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be : Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee. Bend thy boughs, O Tree of glory, Thy relaxing sinews bend : For awhile the ancient rigour That thy birth bestowed, suspend : And the King of heavenly beauty On thy bosom gently tend. Thou alone wast counted worthy This world's ransom to sustain, That a shipwrecked race for ever Might a port of refuge gain : With the sacred Blood anointed Of the Lamb for sinners slain. To the Trinity be glory Everlasting, as is meet : Equal to the Father, equal To the Son, and Paraclete : Trinal Unity, whose praises All created things repeat. Amen.

Little Chapter In the Sunday Office, as in the Proper of Seasons. In the ferial Office, the following is said daily Little Chapter (Jer. 11: 20) But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly, and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them: for thee I have revealed my cause, O Lord my God. Hymn and versicle In the Office of Sundays and ferias, the following hymn and versicle are said: Hymn The royal banners forward go: The Cross shines forth in mystic glow, Where he in flesh, our flesh who made, Our sentence bore, our ransom paid : Where deep for us the spear was dyed, Life's torrent rushing from his side, To wash us in that precious flood, Where mingled Water flowed and Blood. Fulfilled is all that David told In true prophetic song of old: Amidst the nations, God, saith he, Hath reigned and triumphed from the Tree. O Tree of beauty! Tree of light! O Tree with royal purple dight! Elect on whose triumphal breast Those holy limbs should find their rest : On whose dear arms, so widely flung, The weight of this world's ransom hung, The price of humankind to pay, And spoil the spoiler of his prey. During this stanza, all kneel. O Cross, our one reliance, hail! This holy Passiontide avail To give fresh merit to the saint And pardon to the penitent. To thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done: Whom by the Cross thou dost restore, Preserve and govern evermore. Amen. V. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man. R. And preserve me from the wicked man.

Capitulum (Ier. 11: 20) Tu autem, Dómine Sábaoth, qui iúdicas iuste, et probas renes et corda, vídeam ultiónem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelávi causam meam, Dómine Deus meus. De hymno et versu In Officio tam dominicali quam feriali, dicitur cotidie sequens hymnus et versus: Hymnus Vexílla Regis pródeunt: Fulget Crucis mystérium, Qua vita mortem pértulit, Et morte vitam prótulit. Quæ, vulneráta lánceæ Mucróne diro, críminum Ut nos laváret sórdibus, Manávit unda et sánguine. Impléta sunt quæ cóncinit David fidéli cármine, Dicéndo natiónibus: Regnávit a ligno Deus. Arbor decóra et fúlgida, Ornáta Regis púrpura, Elécta digno stípite Tam sancta membra tángere. Beáta, cuius bráchiis Prétium pepéndit sŴculi, Statéra facta córporis, Tulítque prædam tártari. Sequens stropha dicitur flexis genibus. O Crux, ave, spes única, Hoc Passiónis témpore Piis adáuge grátiam, Reísque dele crímina. Te, fons salútis, Trínitas, Colláudet omnis spíritus: Quibus Crucis victóriam Largíris, adde prŴmium. Amen. V. Eripe me, Dómine, ab hómine malo. R. A viro iníquo éripe me.

Rex ille dum fortíssimus De mortis inférno specu Patrum senátum líberum Edúcit ad vitæ iubar. Cuius sepúlcrum plúrimo Custóde signábat lapis, Victor triúmphat, et suo Mortem sepúlcro fúnerat. Sat fúneri, sat lácrimis, Sat est datum dolóribus : Surréxit exstínctor necis, Clamat corúscans Angelus. Ut sis perénne méntibus Paschále Iesu, gáudium, A morte dira críminum Vitæ renátos líbera.

Little Chapter In the Sunday Office, use that as in the Proper of Seasons. In the ferial Office, the following is said daily Little Chapter (Rom. 6: 9-10) Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him. For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Hymn and versicle In the Office of Sundays and ferias, the following hymn and versicle are said: Hymn Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky, Heaven thunders forth its victor cry, The glad earth shouts its triumph high, And groaning hell makes wild reply : While he, the King of glorious might Treads down death's strength in death's despite, And trampling hell by victor's right, Brings forth his sleeping Saints to light. Fast barred beneath the stone of late In watch and ward where soldiers wait, Now shining in triumphant state, He rises Victor from death's gate. Hell's pains are loosed, and tears are fled; Captivity is captive led; The Angel, crowned with light, hath said, The Lord is risen from the dead. We pray thee, King with glory decked, In this our Paschal joy, protect From all that death would fain effect Thy ransomed flock, thine own elect. All praise be thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Upon the Altar of the Cross His Body hath redeemed our loss: And tasting of his roseate Blood, Our life is hid with him in God. That Paschal Eve God's arm was bared The devastating Angel spared: By strength of hand our hosts went free From Pharaoh's ruthless tyranny. Now Christ, our Paschal Lamb, is slain, The Lamb of God that knows no stain, The true Oblation offered here, Our own unleavened Bread sincere. O thou, from whom hell's monarch flies, O great, O very Sacrifice, Thy captive people are set free, And endless life restored in thee. For Christ, arising from the dead, From conquered hell victorious sped, And thrust the tyrant down to chains, And Paradise for man regains. We pray thee, King with glory decked, In our Paschal joy, protect From all that death would fain effect Thy ransomed flock, thine own elect. All praise be thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Maker of all, eternal King, Who day and night about dost bring, Thou, weary mortals to relieve, Dost in their turn the seasons give. Lo! chanticleer proclaims each day, And calls the sun's awakening ray To be the pilgrim's guiding light, And mark the watches night by night. Roused at the note, the morning star Heaven's dusky veil uplifts afar; Night's vagrant bands no longer roam, But from their dark ways hie them home. Encouraged sailors then no more Do fear the raging billow's roar; Lo! e'en the very Church's Rock Melts at the crowing of the cock. So daily let us ardent rise; The cock rebukes men's slumbering eyes,

New hope his clarion note awakes, Sickness the feeble frame forsakes, The robber sheathes his lawless sword, Faith to the fallen is restored. Look on us, Jesu, when we fall, And with the look our souls recall; If thou but look, our sins are gone, And with due tears our pardon won. Shed through our hearts thy piercing ray, Our souls' dull slumber drive away; Thy Name be first on every tongue, To thee our earliest praise be sung. To God the Father, glory be, And to his sole-begotten Son, Glory, O Holy Ghost, to thee, While everlasting ages run. Amen.

A Dómino factum est istud: * et est mirábile in óculis nostris. Hæc est dies, quam fecit Dóminus: * exsultémus et lætémur in ea. O Dómine, salvum me fac, o Dómine, bene prosperáre: * benedíctus qui venit in nómine Dómini. Benedíximus vobis de domo Dómini: * Deus Dóminus, et illúxit nobis. Constitúite diem solémnem in condénsis, * usque ad cornu altáris. Deus meus es tu, et confitébor tibi: * Deus meus es tu, et exaltábo te.

about: * and in the name of the Lord have I been revenged upon them. They gathered about me like bees, and burned like fire among thorns: * and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged upon them. I was sore pressed, and overthrown that I might fall: but the Lord held me up. The Lord is my strength and my praise: * and he is become my salvation. The voice of joy and salvation: * is in the tabernacles of the just. The right hand of the Lord hath done mightily: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: * the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength. I shall not die, but live: * and shall declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened and corrected me: * but he hath not given me over unto death. Open unto me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise unto the Lord: * this is the gate of the Lord: the just shall enter into it. I will praise thee, for thou hast heard me: * and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders rejected: * the same is become the head of the corner. This is the Lord's doing: * and it is wonderful in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made: * let us be glad and rejoice in it. O Lord, save me; O Lord, give good success: * blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord: * the Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us. Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs: * even unto the horn of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: * thou art my God, and I will exalt thee. I will praise thee, for thou hast heard me: * and art become my salvation. O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.

tibi caro mea. In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: * sic in sancto appárui tibi, ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam. Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas: * lábia mea laudábunt te. Sic benedícam te in vita mea: * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas. Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea: * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum. Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutínis meditábor in te: * quia fuísti adiútor meus. Et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo, adhŴsit ánima mea post te: * me suscépit déxtera tua. Ipsi vero in vanum quæsiérunt ánimam meam, introíbunt in inferióra terræ: * tradéntur in manus gládii, partes vúlpium erunt. Rex vero lætábitur in Deo, laudabúntur omnes qui iurant in eo: * quia obstrúctum est os loquéntium iníqua. Canticum trium Puerorum Dan. 3: 52-57 Benedíctus es, Dómine, Deus patrum nostrórum: * et laudábilis, et gloriósus, et superexaltátus in sŴcula. Et benedíctum nomen glóriæ tuæ sanctum: * et laudábile, et superexaltátum in ómnibus sæculis. Benedíctus es in templo sancto glóriæ tuæ: * et superlaudábilis, et supergloriósus in sŴcula. Benedíctus es in throno regni tui: * et superlaudábilis, et superexaltátus in sŴcula. Benedíctus es, qui intúeris abyssos, et sedes super Chérubim: * et laudábilis, et superexaltátus in sŴcula. Benedíctus es in firmaménto cæli: * et laudábilis, et gloriósus in sŴcula. Benedícite, ómnia ópera Dómini, Dómino: * laudáte, et superexaltáte eum in sŴcula.

my flesh longeth, O how exceedingly! In a desert and pathless land where no water is: * so have I come before thee in thy holy place, that I might see thy power and thy glory. For thy mercy is better than life: * my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands. Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. If I have remembered thee upon my bed, on thee will I meditate in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath cleaved unto thee: * thy right hand hath upheld me. But they have sought my soul in vain: they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword: they shall be the portions of foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God, all they that swear by him shall be praised: * because the mouth of them that speak wicked things is stopped. Canticle of the Three Children Dan. 3: 52-57 Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers: * and worth to be praised, and glorified, and exalted above all for ever. And blessed is the holy name of thy glory: * and worthy to be praised, and exalted above all in all ages. Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory: * and exceedingly to be praised, and exceeding glorious for ever. Blessed art thou on the throne of thy kingdom: * and exceedingly to be praised, and exalted above all for ever. Blessed art thou, that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the Cherubim: * and worthy to be praised and exalted above all for ever. Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: * and worthy of praise, and glorious for ever. All ye works of the Lord, bless the Lord: * praise and exalt him above all for ever.

Sunday at 2nd Vespers Psalmus 113 In éxitu Israël de Ægýpto, * domus Iacob de pópulo bárbaro: Facta est Iudæa sanctificátio eius, * Israël potéstas eius.

Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugísti: * et tu, Iordánis, quia convérsus es retrórsum? Montes, exsultástis sicut aríetes, * et colles, sicut agni óvium. A fácie Dómini mota est terra, * a fácie Dei Iacob. Qui convértit petram in stagna aquárum, * et rupem in fontes aquárum. Non nobis, Dómine, non nobis: * sed nómini tuo da glóriam.

Psalm 113 When Israel came out of Egypt, * and the house of Jacob from among the strange people, Judah was his sanctuary, * and Israel his dominion. The sea saw that, and fled; * Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, * and the little hills like young sheep. What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleedest? * and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? * and ye little hills, like young sheep? The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the God of Jacob; Who turned the hard rock into a standing water, * and the flint-stone into a springing well. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, * but unto thy Name give the glory. For thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake : * wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is now their God? As for our God, he is in heaven: * he hath done whatsoever pleased him. The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, * even the work of men's hands. They have mouths, and speak not; * eyes have they, and see not. They have ears, and hear not; * noses have they, and smell not. They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not; * neither speak they through their throat. May they that make them be like unto them; * even every one that trusteth in them. The house of Israel trusteth in the Lord; * he is their helper and defender. The house of Aaron, trusteth in the Lord; * he is their helper and defender. They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord; * he is their helper and defender. The Lord hath been mindful of us, * and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel, * he hath blessed the house of Aaron. He hath blessed all them that fear the Lord, * both small and great.

Teach us to knock at Heaven’s high door; Teach us the prize of life to win; Teach us all evil to abhor, And purify ourselves within. Father of mercies! hear our cry; Hear us, O sole-begotten Son!

Psalm 90 He that dwelleth under the defence of the Most High, * shall abide under the shadow of the God of heaven. He shall say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my stronghold; * my God, in him will I trust. For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunter, * and from the noisome pestilence. He shall defend thee under his wings, * and thou shalt be safe under his feathers His truth shall be thy shield to compass thee round about; * thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night. Nor for the arrow that flieth by day, for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, * nor for the demon that destroyeth in the noon-day. A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; * but it shall not come nigh thee. Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, * and see the reward of the ungodly. For thou, Lord, art my hope; * thou hast set thine house of defence on the Most High. There shall no evil happen unto thee, * neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he hath given his angels charge over thee, * to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee in their hands, * that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt go upon the adder and basilisk: * the lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet. Because he hath set his hope upon me, therefore will I deliver him; * I will defend him, because he hath known my Name. He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; * yea, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.

Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thine altar.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, * because of mine enemies make my way plain before thy face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; * their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue: * judge thou them, O God. Let them perish through their own imaginations; cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness; * for they have rebelled against thee, O Lord. And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice: * they shall for ever be glad, and thou shalt dwell amongst them.

For there are set the seats of judgment: * the seats over the house of David. Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: * and plenteousness be to them that love thee. Let peace be in thy strength: * and plenteousness in thy towers. For my brethren and companions’ sake: * I spake peace concerning thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God: * I have sought good things for thee.

Hymnus Imménse cæli Cónditor, Qui mixta ne confúnderent, Aquæ fluénta dívidens, Cælum dedísti límitem. Firmans locum cæléstibus, Simúlque terræ rívulis; Ut unda flammas témperet, Terræ solum ne díssipent. Infúnde nunc, piíssime, Donum perénnis grátiæ: Fraudis novæ ne cásibus Nos error átterat vetus. Lucem fides adáugeat: Sic lúminis iubar ferat: Hæc vana cuncta próterat: Hanc falsa nulla cómprimant. Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, Cum Spíritu Paráclito Regnans per omne sŴculum. Amen.

Hymn O great Creator of the sky, Who wouldest not the floods on high With earthly water to confound, But mad'st the firmament their bound. The floods above thou didst ordain; The floods below thou didst restrain; That moisture might attemper heat, Lest the parched earth should ruin meet. Upon our souls, good Lord, bestow The gift of grace in endless flow: Lest some renew'd deceit or wile Of former sin should us beguile. Let Faith discover heav'nly light; So shall her ray direct us right: And let this Faith each error chase, And never give to falsehood place. Almighty Father, hear our cry Through Jesus Christ our Lord most high, Who with the Holy Ghost and thee Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.

Psalmus 6 Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me. Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum: * sana me, Dómine, quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea. Et ánima mea turbáta est valde: * sed tu, Dómine, úsquequo? Convértere, Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: * salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam. Quóniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui: * in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi? Laborávi in gémitu meo, lavábo per síngulas noctes lectum meum: * lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábo. Turbátus est a furóre óculus meus: * inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.

Psalm 6 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger: * nor chastise me in thy wrath. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: * heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is troubled exceedingly: * but thou, O Lord, how long? Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul: * O save me for thy mercy's sake.

Discédite a me, omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem: * quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei. Exaudívit Dóminus deprecatiónem meam, * Dóminus oratiónem meam suscépit. Erubéscant, et conturbéntur veheménter omnes inimíci mei: * convertántur et erubéscant valde velóciter. Psalmus 7, i Dómine, Deus meus, in te sperávi: * salvum me fac ex ómnibus persequéntibus me, et líbera me. Nequándo rápiat ut leo ánimam meam, * dum non est qui rédimat, neque qui salvum fáciat. Dómine, Deus meus, si feci istud. * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis: Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, * décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis. Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat. Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua: * et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.

For in death there is no one that is mindful of thee: * and who will give thee thanks in hell? I have laboured in my groanings, every night will I wash my bed: * and water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is troubled through indignation: * I have grown old amongst all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: * for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord hath heard my supplication: * the Lord hath received my prayer. Let all mine enemies be put to shame, and be sore troubled: * let them be turned back, and put to shame very speedily. Psalm 7, i O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: * save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me. Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion: * while there is no one to redeem me nor to save. O Lord my God, if I have done this thing: * if there be iniquity in my hands: If I have made a return to them that did evils to me: * let me deservedly fall empty before mine enemies. Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth: * and bring down my glory to the dust. Rise up, O Lord, in thine anger: * and be thou exalted in the borders of mine enemies.

Iúdica me, Dómine, secúndum iustítiam meam, * et secúndum innocéntiam meam super me. Consumétur nequítia peccatórum, et díriges iustum, * scrutans corda et renes Deus.

Psalmus 7, ii Iustum adiutórium meum a Dómino, * qui salvos facit rectos corde. Deus iudex iustus, fortis, et pátiens: * numquid iráscitur per síngulos dies? Nisi convérsi fuéritis, gládium suum vibrábit: * arcum suum teténdit, et parávit illum. Et in eo parávit vasa mortis: * sagíttas suas ardéntibus effécit.

And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: * and a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high: * the Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice: * and according to my innocence in me. The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought, and thou shalt direct the just: * O God who searchest the hearts and reins.

Confitébor Dómino secúndum iustítiam eius: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.

Psalm 7, ii Just is my help from the Lord: * who saveth the upright of heart. God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is he angry every day? Except ye be converted, he will brandish his sword: * he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death: * he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn. Behold, he hath been in travail with injustice: * he hath conceived sorrow and brought forth iniquity. He hath opened a pit and dug it: * and he is falling into the hole that he hath made. His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: * and his wickedness shall come down upon his own crown. I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: * and will sing to the name of the Lord most high.

Hymn Before the ending of the day, Creator of the world we pray, That with thy wonted favor thou Wouldst be our guard and keeper now. From all ill dreams defend our eyes, From nightly fears and fantasies; Tread under foot our ghostly foe, That no pollution we may know.

Annuntiáte inter gentes glóriam eius, * in ómnibus pópulis mirabília eius. Quóniam magnus Dóminus, et laudábilis nimis: * terríbilis est super omnes deos.

Psalm 95 O sing unto the Lord a new song: * sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, and bless his name: * tell forth his salvation from day to day. Tell forth his glory among the gentiles: * his wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great, and highly to be praised: * he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the gentiles are devils: * but the Lord made the heavens. Praise and beauty are before him; * holiness and majesty his sanctuary.

Canticle of Tobias Tob. 13: 1-10 Thou art great, O Lord, for ever, * and thy kingdom is unto all ages: For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again: * and there is none that can escape thy hand. Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, * and praise him in the sight of the gentiles: Because he hath therefore scattered you among the gentiles, who know not him, * that you may declare his wonderful works, And make them know * that there is no other almighty God besides him. He hath chastised us for our iniquities: * and he will save us for his own mercy.

Confitémini Dómino, fílii Israël, * et in conspéctu géntium laudáte eum: Quóniam ídeo dispérsit vos inter Gentes, quæ ignórant eum, * ut vos enarrétis mirabília eius, Et faciátis scire eos, * quia non est álius Deus omnípotens præter eum. Ipse castigávit nos propter iniquitátes nostras: * et ipse salvábit nos propter misericórdiam suam. Aspícite ergo quæ fecit nobíscum, et cum timóre et tremóre confitémini illi: * Regémque sæculórum exaltáte in opéribus vestris. Ego autem in terra captivitátis meæ confitébor illi: * quóniam osténdit maiestátem suam in gentem peccatrícem.

Psalmus 50 Miserére mei Deus, * secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam. Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me. Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris. Ecce enim in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi. Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor. Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta. Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis. Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me. Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me. Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur. Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea iustítiam tuam. Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam. Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis. Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus non despícies. Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem. Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.

Psalm 50 Have mercy upon me, O God, * according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies: * blot out my iniquity. Wash me yet more from my iniquity: * and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my iniquity: * and my sin is always before me. Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: * that thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sins did my mother conceive me. For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves

Psalm 124 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: * he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth in Jerusalem. The hills stand round about her: * even so is the Lord round about his people from this time forth for evermore. For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners over the lot of the just: * that the just may not stretch for their hands unto wickedness. Do well, O Lord, unto those that are good: * and unto them that are right of heart. But such as turn aside unto deceits, the Lord shall number with the workers of iniquity: * but peace shall be upon Israel.

Ant. IV The Lord hath done great things * for us: we are become joyful.

Psalmus 125 In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion: * facti sumus sicut consoláti:

Psalm 125 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion: * we became like men consoled. Then was our mouth filled with gladness: * and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the gentiles: * The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us: * we are become joyful. Turn again our captivity, O Lord: * as a river in the south. They that sow in tears: * shall reap in joy.

Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum: * et lingua nostra exsultatióne. Tunc dicent inter Gentes: * Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis. Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum: * facti sumus lætántes.

Psalmus 126 Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui ædíficant eam. Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam. Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere: * súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris. Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * ecce heréditas Dómini fílii: merces, fructus ventris.

Psalm 126 Unless the Lord build the house: * they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city: * he watcheth in vain that keepeth it. In vain do ye rise before the light: * rise not till ye have rested, O ye that eat the bread of sorrow. When he hath given sleep to his beloved: * lo, children are an heritage from the Lord: and the fruit of the womb a reward. Like as arrows in the hand of the mighty One: * so are the children of those that have been cast out. Blessed is the man whose desire is satisfied with them: * he shall not be confounded when he speaketh with his enemies in the gate.

Hymnus Tellúris alme Cónditor, Mundi solum qui séparans, Pulsis aquæ moléstiis, Terram dedísti immóbilem.

Iussis tuis obtémperet: Nullis malis appróximet: Bonis repléri gáudeat, Et mortis ictum nésciat. Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, Cum Spíritu Paráclito Regnans per omne sŴculum. Amen.

Hymn Earth's mighty Maker, whose command Raised from the sea the solid land; And drove each billowy heap away, And bad the earth stand firm for aye: That so, with flowers of golden hue, The seeds of each it might renew; And fruit-trees bearing fruit might yield, And pleasant pasture of the field: Our spirit's rankling wounds efface With dewy freshness of Thy grace: That grief may cleanse each deed of ill, And o'er each lust may triumph still. Let every soul Thy law obey, And keep from every evil way; Rejoice each promised god to win, And flee from every mortal sin. Hear Thou our prayer, Almighty king! Hear Thou our praises, while we sing, Adoring with the heavenly host, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Amen.

In the ferial Office Throughout the year the little chapter, hymn and versicle are said according to the current day, as assigned in the Psalter; and thence begins likewise the antiphon at the Benedíctus. Little Chapter (Rom. 13: 12-13) The night has passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light; let us walk honestly as in the day. Hymn Day is breaking, dawn is bright: Hence, vain shadows of the night! Mists that dim our mortal sight, Christ is come! Depart! Darkness routed lifts her wings As the radiance upwards springs: Through the world of wakened things Life and color dart. Thee, O Christ, alone we know: Singing even in our woe, With pure hearts to Thee we go: On our senses shine! In Thy beams be purged away All that leads our thoughts astray! Through our spirits, King of day, Pour Thy light divine! Unto God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Three in One, One in Three, be glory done, Now and evermore. Amen.

Capitulum (Rom. 13: 12-13) Nox præcéssit, dies autem appropinquávit. Abiciámus ergo ópera tenebrárum, et induámur arma lucis. Sicut in die honéste ambulémus. Hymnus Nox, et ténebræ, et núbila, Confúsa mundi et túrbida: Lux intrat, albéscit polus: Christus venit: discédite. Callígo terræ scínditur Percússa solis spículo, Rebúsque iam color redit, Vultu niténtis síderis. Te, Christe, solum nóvimus: Te mente pura et símplici, Flendo et canéndo quŴsumus, Inténde nostris sénsibus. Sunt multa fucis íllita, Quæ luce purgéntur tua: Tu, vera lux cæléstium, Vultu seréno illúmina. Deo Patri sit glória, Eiúsque soli Fílio, Cum Spíritu Paráclito, Nunc et per omne sŴculum. Amen. V.

For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise.

Psalmus 64 Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion: * et tibi reddétur votum in Ierúsalem.

Indúti sunt aríetes óvium et valles abundábunt fruménto: * clamábunt, étenim hymnum dicent.

Psalm 64 A hymn becometh thee, O God, in Sion: * and unto thee shall the vow be paid in Jerusalem. O hear my prayer: * unto thee shall all flesh come. The words of the wicked have prevailed against us: * and thou wilt pardon our transgressions. Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen, and taken to thee: * he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house: * holy is thy temple, wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God, our Saviour, * who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off. Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power: * who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The gentiles shall be troubled, and they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: * thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening be joyful. Thou hast visited the earth, and hast watered it plenteously: * thou has copiously enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: * for so is its preparation. Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits: * it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers. Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: * and thy fields shall be filled with plenty. The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: * and the hills shall be girded about with joy. The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: * they shall shout, yea, they shall sing a hymn.

III But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death. Ant. IV All mine enemies * have heard of my affliction: they have rejoiced, O Lord, that thou hast done it. Canticle of Anna 1 Kings 2: 1-10 My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, * and my horn is exalted in my God: My mouth is enlarged over my enemies: * because I joyed in thy salvation. There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, * and there is no one strong like our God. Do not multiply to speak lofty things, * boasting. Let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, * and to him are thoughts prepared. The bow of the mighty is overcome, * and the weak are girt with strength. They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: * and the hungry are filled. So that the barren hath borne many: * and she that had many children weakened. The Lord killeth and maketh alive, * he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again. The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, * he humbleth and exalteth. He raised up the needy from the dust, * and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: That he may sit with princes, * and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lords, * and upon them he hath set the world. He will keep the feet of his Saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; * because no man shall prevail by his own strength. The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: * and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens:

Lo, we heard of it in Ephrata: * we found it in the fields of the wood. We will go into his tabernacle: * we will worship in the place where his feet have stood. Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place: * thou and the ark of thy holiness. Let thy priests be clothed with justice: * and let thy Saints rejoice. For thy servant David's sake: * turn not away the face of thine Anointed. The Lord hath sworn the truth unto David, and he will not make it void: * of the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant: * and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne: * for evermore. For the Lord hath chosen Sion: * he hath chosen her for his dwelling. This is my rest for ever and ever: * here will I dwell, for I have chosen her.

The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: * and none of them that trust in him shall offend. Psalm 60 Hear, O God, my supplication: * be attentive to my prayer. Unto thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: * when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me; for thou hast been my hope: * a tower of strength against the face of the enemy. In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: * I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings. For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: * thou hast given an inheritance unto them that fear thy name. Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: * his years even to generation and generation. He abideth for ever in the sight of God: * his mercy and truth who shall search out? So will I sing a psalm unto thy name for ever and ever: * that I may pay my vows from day to day.

Hæc lux serénum cónferat, Purósque nos præstet sibi: Nihil loquámur súbdolum: Volvámus obscúrum nihil. Sic tota decúrrat dies, Ne lingua mendax, ne manus Oculíve peccent lúbrici, Ne noxa corpus ínquinet. Speculátor astat désuper, Qui nos diébus ómnibus, Actúsque nostros próspicit A luce prima in vésperum. Deo Patri sit glória, Eiúsque soli Fílio, Cum Spíritu Paráclito, Nunc et per omne sŴculum. Amen.

Hymn See the golden sun arise! Let no more our darkened eyes Snare us, tangled by surprise In the maze of sin! From false words and thoughts impure Let this Light, serene and sure, Keep our lips without secure, Keep our souls within. So may we the day-time spend, That, till life's temptations end, Tongue, nor hand nor eye offend! One, above us all, Views in His revealing ray All we do, and think, and say, Watching us from break of day Till the twilight fall. Unto God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Three in One, One in Three, be glory done, Now and evermore. Amen.

Ecce enim in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi. Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor. Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta. Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis. Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me. Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu

Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: * that thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sins did my mother conceive me. For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: *

Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam. Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis. Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus non despícies. Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem.

and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thine altar.

Psalmus 89 Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis: * a generatióne et generatiónem. Priúsquam montes fíerent, aut formarétur terra et orbis: * a sæculo et usque in sŴculum tu es, Deus.

Psalm 89 O Lord, thou hast been our refuge: * from generation to generation. Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world were formed: * from everlasting and to everlasting thou art God. Turn not man away to be brought low: * thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men. For a thousand years in thy sight * are but as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night: * as things are counted as nought, so shall their years be. In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: * in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither. For in thy wrath we have fainted away: * and are troubled in thine indignation.

Ne avértas hóminem in humilitátem: * et dixísti: Convertímini, fílii hóminum. Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos, * tamquam dies hestérna, quæ prætériit.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thine eyes: * our life in the light of thy countenance. For all our days are spent: * and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider: * the days of our years are threescore and ten. But if the strong they be fourscore years: * and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For humiliation is come upon us, * and we shall be corrected. Who knoweth the power of thine anger, * and for thy fear who can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known, * and the learned in heart in wisdom. Return, O Lord, how long? * and be entreated in favour of thy servants. We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: * and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days. We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: * for the years in which we have seen evils. Look upon thy servants and upon thy works: * and direct their children.

Grant, Lord, that we Thy servants all, Saved by Thy tide of cleansing Blood, No more 'neath sin's dominion fall, Nor fear the thought of death's dark flood!

He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been long dead: * and my spirit is vexed within me; my heart within me is troubled. I remember the days of old: I meditated on all thy works: * I have mused upon the works of thy hands. I stretched forth my hands unto thee: * my soul gaspeth unto thee, as a land where no water is. Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me: * lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Make me to hear thy mercy in the morning: * for in thee have I hoped. Make me to know the way wherein I should walk: * for to thee have I lifted up my soul. Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord, unto thee have I fled: * teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land: * for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou shalt quicken me in thy justice. Thou shalt bring my soul out of trouble: * and in thy mercy thou shalt destroy mine enemies. And thou shalt destroy all them that afflict my soul: * for I am thy servant.

Psalm 50 Have mercy upon me, O God, * according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies: * blot out my iniquity. Wash me yet more from my iniquity: * and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my iniquity: * and my sin is always before me. Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight: * that thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sins did my mother conceive me. For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God,

Psalm 142 Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplication in thy truth: * hearken unto me for thy justice's sake.

He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been long dead: * and my spirit is vexed within me; my heart within me is troubled. I remember the days of old: I meditated on all thy works: * I have mused upon the works of thy hands. I stretched forth my hands unto thee: * my soul gaspeth unto thee, as a land where no water is. Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me: * lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Make me to hear thy mercy in the morning: * for in thee have I hoped. Make me to know the way wherein I should walk: * for to thee have I lifted up my soul. Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord, unto thee have I fled: * teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God.

In thy anger thou wilt treat the earth under foot: * in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: * for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: * thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck. Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, * them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy * was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret. Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, * in the mud of many waters. I have heard, and my bowels were troubled: * my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, * and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: * that I may go up to our people that are girded. For the fig-tree shall not blossom: * and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail, * and the fields shall yield no food.

Quia ténebræ non obscurabúntur a te, et nox sicut dies illuminábitur: * sicut ténebræ eius, ita et lumen eius. Quia tu possedísti renes meos: * suscepísti me de útero matris meæ.

Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the newest, and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and laid thine hand upon me, Thy knowledge is become wonderful unto me: * it is high, and I cannot reach unto it. Wither shall I go from thy spirit? * or whither shall I flee from thy face? If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I descend into hell, thou art present. If I take my wings early in the morning: * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: Even there also shall thy hand lead me: * and thy right hand shall hold me. And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: * and night shall be my light in my pleasures. But darkness shall not be dark to thee: and night shall be as light as the day: * the darkness and the light thereof shall be alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast upholden me from my mother's womb.

Who are purposed to supplant my steps: * the proud have hidden a net for me: And they have stretched out cords for a snare: * they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside.

The mighty forms that fill the land, Instinct with life at thy command, Are given subdued to human-kind For service in their rank assigned. Therefore subdue in us today Fierce passions which would else have sway, Or mingle with the heart's intent, And with our actions thus, be blent. In heaven thine endless joys bestow, But grant thy gifts of grace below; From chains of strife our souls release, Bind fast the gentle banks of peace. Almighty Father, hear our cry Through Jesus Christ our Lord most high, Who with the Holy Ghost and thee Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.

Mine eyes prevented the watches: * I was troubled, and I spake not. I thought upon the days of old: * and I had in my mind the eternal years. And I meditated in the night with mine own heart: * and I mused, and searched my spirit. Will God then cast off for ever? * or will he never more be favourable? Or will he cut off his mercy for ever? * from generation to generation? Or will God forget to show mercy? * or will he in his anger shut up his mercies? And I said, Now have I begun: * this change is of the right hand of the Most High. I remembered the works of the Lord: * for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning, And I will meditate on all thy works: * and will be employed in thy doings.

Psalm 76, ii Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? * thou art the God that doest wonders. Thou hast made known thy power among the nations: * with thine arm hast thou redeemed thy people, the children of Jacob and of Joseph. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: * and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled. Great was the noise of the waters: * the clouds sent out a sound. For thine arrows pass by: * the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings lightened the world: * the earth shook and trembled. Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: * and thy footsteps shall not be known. Thou didst lead thy people like sheep: * by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 63 Hear my prayer, O God, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy. Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant: * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity. For they have whetted their tongues like a sword: * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled. They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in words of wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares: * they have said: Who shall see them? They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues are made weak against them. All that saw them were troubled: * and every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.

That they may know thee, as we also have known thee, * that there is no God beside thee, O Lord. Renew thy signs, and work new miracles. * Glorify thy hand, and thy right arm. Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath. * Take away the adversary, and crush the enemy. Hasten the time, and remember the end, * that they may declare thy wonderful works. Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire: * and let them perish that oppress thy people. Crush the head of the princes of the enemies * that say: There is no other beside us. Gather together all the tribes of Jacob: that they may know that there is no God besides thee, * and may declare thy great works. And thou shalt inherit them, * as from the beginning. Have mercy on thy people, upon whom thy name is invoked: * and upon Israel, whom thou hast raised up to be thy firstborn.

Thou wast the gate of heaven's Lord, The door through which the Light had poured; Thou, Maiden-Mother, Life dost bring Ye ransomed nations, shout and sing! All honour, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis. Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.

For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sins did my mother conceive me. For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: * and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my sins: * and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from sins of blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would surely have given it: * with burntofferings thou wilt not be delighted. A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou dost not despise. Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole-burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thine altar. Ant. I Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will, with Sion.

Canticle of Moses Deut. 32: 1-43 Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, * let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth. Let my doctrine gather as the rain, * let my speech distil as the dew, As a shower upon the herb, and as drops upon the grass. * Because I will invoke the name of the Lord: Give ye magnificence to our God. * The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right. * They have sinned against him, and are none of his children in their filth: They are a wicked and perverse generation. * Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he thy father, * that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee? Remember the days of old, * think upon every generation: Ask thy father, and he will declare to thee: * thy elders and they will tell thee. When the Most High divided the nations: * when he separated the sons of Adam, He appointed the bounds of people * according to the number of the children of Israel. But the Lord’s portion is his people: * Jacob the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, * in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: He led him about, and taught him: * and he kept him as the apple of his eye. As the eagle enticing her young to fly, * and hovering over them, He spread his wings, and hath taken him * and carried him on his shoulders.

Numquid non ipse est pater tuus, * qui possédit te, et fecit, et creávit te? Meménto diérum antiquórum, * cógita generatiónes síngulas: Intérroga patrem tuum, et annuntiábit tibi: * maióres tuos, et dicent tibi. Quando dividébat Altíssimus Gentes: * quando separábat fílios Adam. Constítuit términos populórum * iuxta númerum filiórum Israël. Pars autem Dómini, pópulus eius: * Iacob funículus hereditátis eius. Invénit eum in terra desérta, * in loco horróris et vastæ solitúdinis: Circumdúxit eum, et dócuit: * et custodívit quasi pupíllam óculi sui.

Immolavérunt dæmóniis, et non Deo, * diis, quos ignorábant: Novi recentésque venérunt, * quos non coluérunt patres eórum. Deum qui te génuit dereliquísti, * et oblítus es Dómini, creatóris tui. Vidit Dóminus, et ad iracúndiam concitátus est: * quia provocavérunt eum fílii sui et fíliæ. Et ait: Abscóndam fáciem meam ab eis, * et considerábo novíssima eórum: Generátio enim pervérsa est, * et infidéles fílii. Ipsi me provocavérunt in eo, qui non erat Deus, * et irritavérunt in vanitátibus suis: Et ego provocábo eos in eo, qui non est pópulus, * et in gente stulta irritábo illos. Ignis succénsus est in furóre meo, * et ardébit usque ad inférni novíssima: Devorabítque terram cum gérmine suo, * et móntium fundaménta combúret. Congregábo super eos mala, * et sagíttas meas complébo in eis. Consuméntur fame, * et devorábunt eos aves morsu amaríssimo: Dentes bestiárum immíttam in eos, * cum furóre trahéntium super terram, atque serpéntium.

The Lord alone was his leader: * and there was no strange god with him. He set him upon high land: * that he might eat the fruits of the fields, That he might suck honey out of the rock, * and oil out of the hardest stone, Butter of the herd, and milk of the sheep * with the fat of lambs, and of the rams of the breed of Basan: And goats with the marrow of wheat, * and might drink the purest blood of the grape. The beloved grew fat, and kicked: * he grew fat, and thick and gross, He forsook God who made him, * and departed from God his saviour. They provoked him by strange gods, * and stirred him up to anger, with their abominations. They sacrificed to devils and not to God: * to gods whom they knew not: That were newly come up, * whom their fathers worshipped not. Thou hast forsaken the God that beget thee, * and hast forgotten the Lord that created thee. The Lord saw, and was moved to wrath: * because his own sons and daughters provoked him. And he said: I will hide my face from them: * and I will consider what their last end shall be. For it is a perverse generation, * and unfaithful children. They have provoked me with that which was no god, * and have angered me with their vanities: And I will provoke them with that which is no people, * and will vex them with a foolish nation. A fire is kindled in my wrath, * and shall burn even to the lowest hell: And shall devour the earth with her increase, * and shall burn the foundations of the mountains. I will heap evils upon them, * and will spend my arrows among them. They shall be consumed with famine: * and birds shall devour them with a most bitter bite: I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, * with the fury of creatures that trail upon the ground, and of serpents.

Foris vastábit eos gládius, et intus pavor, * iúvenem simul ac vírginem, lactántem cum hómine sene. Dixi: Ubinam sunt? * cessáre fáciam ex homínibus memóriam eórum. Sed propter iram inimicórum dístuli: * ne forte superbírent hostes eórum, Et dícerent: Manus nostra excélsa, et non Dóminus, * fecit hæc ómnia. Gens absque consílio est, et sine prudéntia. * Utinam sáperent, et intellígerent, ac novíssima providérent. Quómodo persequátur unus mille, * et duo fugent decem míllia? Nonne ídeo, quia Deus suus véndidit eos, * et Dóminus conclúsit illos? Non enim est Deus noster ut dii eórum: * et inimíci nostri sunt iúdices. De vínea Sodomórum vínea eórum, * et de suburbánis Gomórrhæ: Uva eórum uva fellis, * et botri amaríssimi. Fel dracónum vinum eórum, * et venénum áspidum insanábile. Nonne hæc cóndita sunt apud me, * et signáta in thesáuris meis? Mea est últio, et ego retríbuam in témpore, * ut labátur pes eórum: Iuxta est dies perditiónis, * et adésse festínant témpora. Iudicábit Dóminus pópulum suum, * et in servis suis miserébitur: Vidébit quod infirmáta sit manus, * et clausi quoque defecérunt, residuíque consúmpti sunt. Et dicet: Ubi sunt dii eórum, * in quibus habébant fidúciam? De quorum víctimis comedébant ádipes, * et bibébant vinum libáminum: Surgant, et opituléntur vobis, * et in necessitáte vos prótegant. Vidéte quod ego sim solus, * et non sit álius Deus præter me: Ego occídam, et ego vívere fáciam: percútiam, et ego sanábo, * et non est qui de manu mea possit erúere. Levábo ad cælum manum meam, et dicam:

Without the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, * both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years. I said: Where are they? * I will make the memory of them to cease from among men. But for the wrath of the enemies I have deferred it: * lest perhaps their enemies might be proud. And should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, * hath done all these things. They are a nation without counsel, and without wisdom. * O that they would be wise, and would understand, and would provide for their last end. How should one pursue after a thousand, * and two chase ten thousand? Was it not because their God had sold them, * and the Lord had shut them up? For our God is not as their gods: * our enemies themselves are judges. Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom, * and of the suburbs of Gomorrha. Their grapes are grapes of gall, * and their clusters most bitter. Their wine is the gall of dragons, * and the venom of asps, which is incurable. Are not these things stored up with me, * and sealed up in my treasures? Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time: * that their foot may slide: The day of destruction is at hand, * and the time makes haste to come. The Lord will judge his people, * and will have mercy on his servants: He shall see that their hand is weakened, * and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed. And he shall say: Where are their gods, * in whom they trusted? Of whose victims they ate the fat, * and drank the wine of their drink offerings: Let them arise and help you, * and protect you in your distress. See ye that I alone am, * and there is no other God besides me. I will kill, and I will make to live: * I will strike, and I will heal, * and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. I will lift up my hand to heaven, and will

1st Vespers of Sunday

In sabbatis per annum Capitulum (Rom. 13: 12-13) Nox præcéssit, dies autem appropinquávit. Abiciámus ergo ópera tenebrárum, et induámur arma lucis. Sicut in die honéste ambulémus.

On Saturdays throughout the year Little Chapter (Rom. 13: 12-13) The night has passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light; let us walk honestly as in the day.

Hymnus Auróra iam spargit polum: Terris dies illábitur: Lucis resúltat spículum: Discédat omne lúbricum. Phantásma noctis éxsulet: Mentis reátus córruat: Quidquid ténebris hórridum Nox áttulit culpæ, cadat. Ut mane, quod nos últimum Hic deprecámur cérnui, Cum luce nobis éffluat, Hoc dum canóre cóncrepat. Deo Patri sit glória, Eiúsque soli Fílio, Cum Spíritu Paráclito, Nunc et per omne sŴculum. Amen.

Hymn Each dawn, that sprinkles east with light As day o'er earth is gliding bright, Bids dark things flee, and deeds of sin, As morn's bright rays their course begin. Like as night's phantoms swift depart, Let guilty thoughts forsake the heart; And every ill, that darkness sought Beneath its shade, come swift to naught. So that last morning, dread and great, Which we with trembling hope await, With blessed light for us shall glow Who chant the song we sang below: All laud to God the Father be; All praise, eternal Son, to thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the Holy Paraclete. Amen.

Outside of Eastertide: Ant. I Blessed be the Lord, * my upholder and my deliverer. Eastertide: Ant. Alleluia, * alleluia, alleluia.

Psalmus 143, i Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, * et dígitos meos ad bellum. Misericórdia mea, et refúgium meum: * suscéptor meus, et liberátor meus: Protéctor meus, et in ipso sperávi: * qui subdit pópulum meum sub me. Dómine, quid est homo quia innotuísti ei? * aut fílius hóminis, quia réputas eum?

Psalm 143, i Blessed be the Lord my God: who teacheth my hands to fight, * and my fingers to war. My mercy and my refuge: * my upholder and my deliverer: My protector in whom I have hoped: * who subdueth my people under me. Lord, what is man, that thou makest thyself known unto him? * or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? Man is like to vanity: * his days pass away as a shadow. Bow down thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: * touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: * shoot out thine arrows, and thou shalt trouble them. Put forth thy hand from on high; take me out and deliver me from many waters: * and from the hand of the strange children. Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.

Homo vanitáti símilis factus est: * dies eius sicut umbra prætéreunt. Dómine, inclína cælos tuos, et descénde: * tange montes, et fumigábunt. Fúlgura coruscatiónem, et dissipábis eos: * emítte sagíttas tuas, et conturbábis eos. Emítte manum tuam de alto, éripe me, et líbera me de aquis multis: * de manu filiórum alienórum.

Psalmus 143, ii Deus, cánticum novum cantábo tibi: * in psaltério, decachórdo psallam tibi.

Psalm 143, ii Unto thee, O God, will I sing a new song: * on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. Who givest salvation to kings; * who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword; deliver me.

Qui das salútem régibus: * qui redemísti David, servum tuum, de gládio malígno: éripe me.

Et érue me de manu filiórum alienórum, quorum os locútum est vanitátem: * et déxtera eórum, déxtera iniquitátis: Quorum fílii, sicut novéllæ plantatiónes * in iuventúte sua. Fíliæ eórum compósitæ: * circumornátæ ut similitúdo templi. Promptuária eórum plena: * eructántia ex hoc in illud. Oves eórum fœtósæ, abundántes in egréssibus suis: * boves eórum crassæ. Non est ruína macériæ, neque tránsitus: * neque clamor in platéis eórum. Beátum dixérunt pópulum, cui hæc sunt: * beátus pópulus, cuius Dóminus Deus eius.

And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity. Whose sons are as new plants: * in their youth. Their daughters decked out; * adorned round about after the similitude of a temple. Their storehouses full: * flowing over from one into another. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings out: * their oxen well fed. There is no breach of wall, nor passage: * neither any crying in their streets. They have called the people happy, that hath these things: * but happy is the people whose God is the Lord.

Extra tempus paschale: Ant. II Beátus pópulus, cuius Dóminus Deus eius. Ant. III Magnus Dóminus, * et laudábilis nimis: et magnitúdinis eius non est finis.

Every day will I bless thee: * and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: * and of his greatness there is no end. Generation and generation shall praise thy works: * and they shall declare thy power. They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: * and shall tell of thy sondrous works. And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: * and shall declare thy greatness. They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: * and shall rejoice in thy justice.

All the day I cried unto thee, O Lord: * I stretched out my hands unto thee. Wilt thou show wonders unto the dead? * or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise unto thee? Shall any one in the grace declare thy mercy: * and thy truth in destruction? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark: * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?

He hath not dealt with us after our sins: * nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth: * so hath he strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west: * so far hath he removed our iniquities from us. Psalm 102, ii As a father hath pity upon his children, so hath the Lord pity upon them that fear him: * for he knoweth whereof we are made. He remembereth that we are but dust: * man’s days are as the grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish. For the wind shall pass over it, and it shall not be: * and one shall know its place no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting * to everlasting: upon them that fear him; And justice upon children’s children: * unto such as keep his covenant; And are mindful of his commandments: * to do them. The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: * and his kingdom shall rule over all. Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: * ye that are mighty in strength, and fulfil his

That which was lost in hapless Eve Thy holy Scion did retrieve; The tear-worn sons of Adam's race, Through thee have glimpsed the heavenly place. Thou wast the gate of heaven's Lord, The door through which the Light had poured; Thou, Maiden-Mother, Life dost bring Ye ransomed nations, shout and sing! All honour, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen. V. Today is the Immaculate Conception of the blessed Virgin Mary. R.

Little Chapter (Cant. 2: 13-14) Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come, my dove, in the clefts of the rocks, in the hollow places of the wall; show me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears. Hymn O dawn, sweet herald of that Sun Whose day salvation's course doth run; Plead thou, we pray, O Maid of light, That we may brave the soul's dark night. As once the Ark of God, in peace Made Jordan's angry waves to cease, Which else had whelmed the passersthrough; So bring to man God's peace anew.

Amen.

As wet the fleece and dry the ground, Or dry the fleece with dew all 'round, Like thee, kept free of earth's control; Pray God for every earth-bound soul. As, when the dragon reared his head To belch abroad his poison dread, Him thou didst crush beneath thy feet; Sure victory for us entreat. O Mother kind, look on our tears; Regard our struggles, prayers, and fears; Thou who by grace didst conquer hell, Aid us its power to repel. All honour, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.


C V. Grace is poured abroad on thy lips. R. Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. Ant. at the Benedictus Beautiful aurora of salvation, * out of thee, O Virgin Mary, came forth the sun of justice who has visited us, the Orient from on high. Prayer (Collect) O God, who, by the Immaculate Conception of Mary ever Virgin, didst prepare a worthy dwelling-place for thy Son, we thy suppliants beseech thee that, as we celebrate that same Virgin’s apparition, we may obtain health of mind and body.

hollow places of the wall; show me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears. Hymn Spotless in Mary, saith the long tradition Taught by the Doctors, through the Church re-echoed, And by the faithful joyously remembered, On this glad feast-day. Oft this fair Virgin to a maiden lowly Herself presented; soothed the damsel's trembling; And in speech mystic her conception spotless Then manifested. O happy grotto, honoured by this vision Of God's own Mother, coming to the lowly! O rock so hallowed, whence the healing waters Streamed forth, life-giving! Not Frenchmen only throng this sanctuary; Hither come pilgrims from the earth's far corners; And all uniting, seek the Blessed Virgin's Mighty assistance. Here doth that Mother hearken to petitions; Here she the sickly granteth prayed-for healing; Filled with such blessings pilgrims wend their journey Homeward rejoicing. Pity, O Virgin, all this world's misfortunes; Lighten our burdens by thine intercession; Joy everlasting for our earthly penance, We pray thee, win us. Praise we the Father, and the Sole-Begotten; And thee, O Spirit, Power of the Highest, Mary's O'er-Shadower, with them both Co-Equal; One God for ever. Amen. V. My praise by thee accepted be, O Holy Virgin. R. Give me strength against thine enemies. Ant. at the Magnificat Today the glorious Queen of heaven * appeared on earth; today her word brought to her people a pledge of peace and salvation; today the choirs of Angels and of men exult, celebrating with joy the Immaculate Conception.

Little Chapter (1 Peter 4: 13) Dearly beloved: If you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

Hymnus Sic patres vitam péragunt in umbra, Lília ut septem nívei decóris, Vírgini excélsæ bene grata, Petro Visa nitére. Iamque divína rapiénte flamma, Cúrsitant urbes, loca quæque obérrant, Si queant cunctis ánimis dolóres, Fígere Matris. Hinc valent iras domuísse cæcas, Néscia et pacis fera corda iungunt, Erigunt mæstos, révocant nocéntes Dicta piórum. At suos Virgo comitáta Servos Evehit tandem súperas ad oras; Gémmeis sertis decórat per ævum Omne beátos. Eia nunc cœtus gémitum precántis Audiant, duros vídeant labóres: Semper et nostris fáveant benígno Lúmine votis. Sit decus Patri, genitæque Proli, Et tibi, compar utriúsque virtus Spíritus semper, Deus unus omni Témpore ævo. Amen.

Hymn The fathers lived a life in shade, Yet seemed to Peter’s vision seven White glistening lilies for the Maid, The Queen of heaven. Through city streets, o’er hills and plains, Upborne by love divine, they trod, To fix in men the Mother’s pains, The swords of God. This was the power in which they spoke, Till each wild passion owned their sway: They cheered the sad, from sinners broke Their chains away. Till at last the Virgin Queen Led them to mansions in the sky, Mansions where garlands aye are green And never die. May they hear cries of all who pray, And see how hard our earthly strife: Aiding us onward to the day When all is life. Now to the Father, thanks and praise; To thee, O Son, the same we send; To thee, Great Spirit, through all days, World without end. Amen.

A holy death to heaven speeds The souls with virtue’s glory crowned; When Mary for her servants pleads, Heaven’s blessed portals they have found.

Not till death's hour is past do other men obtain The blessings that do last, the joys that e'er remain; Thou, like to Angels blest, on earth didst here attain To clasp thy God unto thy breast. O Holy Trinity, thy suppliant servants spare; Grant us to come to thee, with Joseph's help and prayer; And then our hearts shall raise, in saintly chorus fair, Exulting canticles of praise. Amen. V. He made him lord of his house. (E.T. Alleluia.) R. And ruler of all his substance. (E.T. Alleluia.)

FERIA VI POST DOMINICAM I PASSIONIS

FRIDAY AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY OF PASSIONTIDE

COMMEMORATIO SEPTEM DOLORUM B. MARIÆ VIRGINIS

COMMEMORATION OF THE SEVEN SORROWS OF THE B.V.M.

Ant. Cum vidísset Iesus Matrem stantem iuxta Crucem, et discípulum quem diligébat, dicit Matri suæ: Múlier, ecce fílius tuus. Deínde dicit discípulo: Ecce mater tua.

Ant. When Jesus saw his Mother standing near the Cross, and the disciple whom he loved, he saith to his Mother: Woman, behold thy son. And then he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. V. Pray for us, O Virgin most sorrowful. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Prayer (Collect) O God, at whose Passion, according to the prophecy of Simeon, a sword of sorrow didst pierce through the most sweet soul of the glorious Virgin and Mother Mary; mercifully grant that we, who devoutly celebrate her Transfixion and suffering, may, through the mediation of the glorious merits and prayers of all the Saints who faithfully stand beneath thy Cross, obtain the blessed fruit of thy Passion. Who livest.

Commemoratio Ad Laudes

V. Ora pro nobis, Virgo dolorosíssima. R. Ut digni efficiámur promissiónibus Christi. Oratio Deus, in cuius passióne secúndum Simeónis prophetíam, dulcíssimam ánimam gloriósæ Vírginis et Matris Maríæ dolóris gládius pertransívit: concéde propítius; ut, qui transfixiónem eius et passiónem venerándo recólimus, gloriósis méritis et précibus ómnium Sanctórum cruci fidéliter astántium intercedéntibus, passiónis tuæ efféctum felícem consequámur: Qui vivis.

Tempore paschali C Capitulum (Sap. 5: 1) Stabunt iusti in magna constántia advérsus eos, qui se angustiavérunt et qui abstulérunt labóres eórum. Hymnus Nullis te génitor blandítiis trahit, Non vitæ cáperis dívitis ótio, Gemmarúmve nitóre Regnandíve cupídine. Diris non ácies te gládii minis, Nec terret périmens carníficis furor: Nam mansúra cadúcis Præfers gáudia cŴlitum. Nunc nos e Súperum prótege sédibus Clemens, atque preces, dum cánimus tua Quæsítam nece palmam, Pronis áuribus éxcipe.

Outside of Eastertide C Little Chapter (James 1: 12) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him. Eastertide C Little Chapter (Wis. 5: 1) The just shall stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. Hymn From Christ the Truth, thy soul to wean Thy father's voice pled but in vain, Since thou wouldst grasp a crown unseen, A crown worth any earthly pain. No threat could daunt thy courage high, Not angry threat, nor naked sword; Thou didst prefer on earth to die, And gain the glory of the Lord. So now amid the Saints in light, Enthroned in bliss for evermore, Look down from that exalted height And hear the humble prayers we pour. All honour, glory, majesty, To God our King, and to his Son, And to the Spirit, One in Three, Whilst everlasting ages run. Amen.

Hymn O Glory of Iberia's throne! O joy of martyred Saints above! By thee and them the crown was won In dying for the Saviour's love. O what intrepid faith was thine! What brave, unswerving constancy! Who didst obey the will divine With loving, full fidelity. Each motion in its rise was checked, If such might lead thy heart astray; Thou ever didst thy course direct In paths where virtue shewed the way.

Litaniæ maiores assignatæ sunt diei 25 aprilis; si vero eo die occurrit dominica Paschatis, vel feria II post Pascha, tranferuntur in sequentem feriam III. De Litaniis maioribus nihil fit in Officio, sed iuxta ecclesiarum et locorum condiciones et consuetudines, cuius rei index est Ordinarius loci, hoc die fit processio, in qua dicuntur Litaniæ Sanctorum (quæ tamen non duplicantur) cum suis precibus. Si autem processio fieri nequit, locorum Ordinarii instituant peculiares supplicationes, in quibus idcantur Litaniæ Sanctorum et aliæ preces in processione fieri solitæ. Omnes vero qui ad recitationem divini Officii obligantur, processioni vero aut aliis peculiaribus supplicationibus, de quibus supra, non intersunt, tenentur dicere, hoc die, Litanias Sanctorum cum suis precibus, lingua latina.

The major Litanies are assigned to April 25; if that day occurs on Easter Sunday, or the Monday following Easter, it is transferred to Tuesday. The major Litanies are not said in the Office, but in the church and according to the local conditions and customs, of which the local Ordinary is the judge; on this day a procession is fitting, in which the Litany of the Saints is said (which nevertheless are not duplicated) along with its prayers. If, however, a procession cannot be made, the local Ordinary can institute particular supplications, in which is said the Litany of the Saints and other prayers which are customary in the procession. All who are obligated to the recitation of the Divine Office, who are not present for the procession or other prayers described above, are to still maintain the recitation of the Litany of the Saints with their prayers, in the Latin language.

Si vero Litaniæ Santorum cum suis precibus, iuxta locorum consuetudinem, in processione vel aliis peculiaribus supplicationibus, lingua vernacula, una cum fidelibus, dicuntur, ii qui ad recitationem divini Officii obligantur, et his supplicationibus rite intersunt, non tenentur has preces lingua latina iterare.

If the Litany of the Saints with its prayers, by local custom, is said in procession or some other particular place in the vernacular, and one of the faithful who is saying them, is obligated to the recitation of the Divine Office, and these prayers are done in accordance with the rite, he is not bound to repeat it in the Latin language in his prayers.

C Little Chapter (Wis. 5: 1) The just shall stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. Hymn Venantius, hail! God's Martyr bright, Thy country's honour and her light; Who dost with joy in triumph sing, Thy judge and tortures conquering. A child in years, yet heeds no pain, Nor dungeon damp, nor galling chain; Then he, for beastly bait, is thrown To lions mad with hunger grown. O wondrous sight! the beasts of prey Their food reject, and turn away; Then tamely lick the Martyr's feet, A tribute to his virtue meet. Next downwards hung, he is exposed To clouds of smoke beneath disposed, Whilst with slow torches, burning clear, His naked breasts and sides they sear. We praise thee, three-fold Unity, The Three in One and One in Three, And beg, by grace of charity, To share this Martyr's sanctity. Amen.

Psalm 125 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion: * we became like men consoled. Then was our mouth filled with gladness: * and our tongue with joy. Then shall they say among the gentiles: * The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us: * we are become joyful. Turn again our captivity, O Lord: * as a river in the south. They that sow in tears: * shall reap in joy.

Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the newest, and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and laid thine hand upon me, Thy knowledge is become wonderful unto me: * it is high, and I cannot reach unto it.

For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast upholden me from my mother's womb. I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: * wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth them right well. My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: * and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.

But to my thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: * their principality is exceedingly strengthened.

The pow'r of old to you convey'd, Sickness and health alike obey'd; May ye our ailing souls once more To strength and holiness restore. That Christ the unerring Judge of doom, When he at time's last end shall come, May grant us for his mercy's sake, Of joys eternal to partake.

Hymnus Tristes erant Apóstoli De Christi acérbo fúnere, Quem morte crudelíssima Servi necárant ímpii. Sermóne verax Angelus Muliéribus prædíxerat: Mox ore Christus gáudium Gregi feret fidélium. Ad ánxios Apóstolos Currunt statim dum núntiæ, Illæ micántis óbvia Christi tenent vestígia. Galilææ ad alta móntium Se cónferunt Apóstoli, Iesúque, voti cómpotes, Almo beántur lúmine. Ut sis perénne méntibus Paschále, Iesu, gáudium, A morte dira críminum Vitæ renátos líbera. eo Patri sit glória, Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis Surréxit, ac Paráclito, In sempitérna sŴcula. Amen.

Hymn The Apostles' hearts were full of pain For their dear Lord so lately slain; That Lord his servants' wicked train With bitter scorn had dared arraign. With gentle voice the Angel gave The women tidings at the grave: 'Forthwith your Master shall ye see; He goes before to Galilee.' And while with fear and joy they pressed To tell these tidings to the rest, Their Lord, their living Lord, they meet, And see his form, and kiss his feet. The Eleven, when they hear, with speed To Galilee forthwith proceed; That there they may behold once more The Lord's dear face, as oft before. We pray thee, King with glory decked, In this our Paschal joy, protect From all that death would fain effect Thy ransomed flock, thine own elect. To God the Father, with the Son, Who from the grave immortal rose; And thee, O Paraclete, be praise, While age on endless ages flows. Amen.

The love that never faints, their glory evermore, For these the Church today pours forth her joyous lay; What victors wear so rich a bay? This clinging world of ill them and their works abhorred; Its withering flowers still they spurned with one accord: They knew them short lived all, how soon they fade and fall, And followed, Jesu, at thy call. For thee all pangs they bare, fury and mortal hate, The cruel scourge to tear, the hook to lacerate; But vain their foes' intent: for, every torment spent, Their valiant spirits stood unbent. Like sheep their blood they poured: and without groan or tear They bent before the sword for that their King most dear: Their souls, serenely blest, in patience they possessed, And looked in hope to-wards their rest. What tongue may here declare, fancy or thought descry, The joys thou dost prepare, for these thy Saints on high? Empurpled in the flood of their victorious blood, They won the laurel from their God. O Lord Most High, we pray, stretch forth thy mighty arm To put our sins away, and shelter us from harm; O give thy servants peace, from guilt and pain release; Our praise to thee shall never cease.

Hymn Praise we this Woman who, endued With holy zeal and fortitude, Hath won through grace a saintly fame, And owns a dear and honoured name. Such holy love inflamed her breast That she on earth recked naught of rest, But, strong in faith and patience, trod The straight and narrow way to God. She learned through fasting to control The flesh that weigheth down the soul, And then, by prayer's sweet food sustain'd, To seek the joys she now hath gain'd. King Christ, the strength of all the strong, To whom alone high deeds belong, Through her prevailing prayer on high, In mercy hear thy people's cry. To God the Father, glory be,

Psalmus 109 Dixit Dóminus Dómino meo: * Sede a dextris meis: Donec ponam inimícos tuos, * scabéllum pedum tuórum. Virgam virtútis tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion: * domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.

The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: * Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. The Lord upon thy right hand: * hath overthrown kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the nations; * he shall fill them with ruins; he shall smite in sunder the heads in the land of many.

Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high, * and beholdeth what is lowly in heaven and in the earth? He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, * and lifteth the needy out of the dung hill. That he may set him with the princes, * even with the princes of his people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, * and to be a joyful mother of children.

When he hath given sleep to his beloved: * lo, children are an heritage from the Lord: and the fruit of the womb a reward. Like as arrows in the hand of the mighty One: * so are the children of those that have been cast out.

When he hath given sleep to his beloved: * lo, children are an heritage from the Lord: and the fruit of the womb a reward. Like as arrows in the hand of the mighty One: * so are the children of those that have been cast out. Blessed is the man whose desire is satisfied with them: * he shall not be

Thou wast the gate of heaven's Lord, The door through which the Light had poured; Thou, Maiden-Mother, Life dost bring Ye ransomed nations, shout and sing! All honour, laud, and glory be, O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Matins

Incipitur absolute ab invitatorio. Nocturni inferius positi omnes dici possunt vel etiam unus tantum, ita tamen, ut extra diem depositionis, in qua semper dicitur primus Nocturnus, dominica, feria II et V dicatur primus, feria III et VI secundus, et feria IV et sabbato tertius Nocturnus.

Begin immediately at the invitatory. The below Nocturns are said by all who are able or only one, thusly: outside the day of burial, in which is always said the first Nocturn; the first Nocturn is said on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday; the second Nocturn on Tuesday and Friday; and the third Nocturn on Wednesday and Saturday.

Invit. Regem, cui ómnia vivunt: * veníte, adorémus. Repetitur: Regem, cui ómnia vivunt: veníte, adorémus. Psalmus 94 Veníte, exsultémus Dómino, iubilémus Deo Salutári nostro: præoccupémus fáciem eius in confessióne, et in psalmis iubilémus ei. Regem, cui ómnia vivunt, veníte adorémus.

Invit. Come, let us adore the King, * to whom all things live. Repeat: Come, let us adore the King, to whom all things live. Psalm 94 Come, let us rejoice in the Lord, let us make a joyful noise to God our Saviour: let us approach his presence in praise, and let us sing joyfully in psalms to him. Come, let us adore the King, to whom all things live. Because the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: because the lord repels not his people, for in his hands are all the bounds of the earth: and he beholds the heights of the mountains. Come, let us adore. Because the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land: COME, LET US ADORE, AND FALL DOWN BEFORE GOD: let us lament before the Lord that made us: he is the Lord our God: and

Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu eius sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit. Veníte, adorémus. Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus eius: VENÍTE, ADORÉMUS, ET PROCIDÁMUS ANTE DEUM: plorémus coram Dómino, qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dóminus

Veníte, adorémus. Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde: ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas, quibus iurávi in ira mea, si introíbunt in réquiem meam. Regem, cui ómnia vivunt: veníte, adorémus. Réquiem ætérnam dona eis Dómine: et lux perpétua lúceat eis. Veníte, adorémus. Regem, cui ómnia vivunt, veníte, adorémus.

Inténde voci oratiónis meæ: * Rex meus et Deus meus. Quóniam ad te orábo: * Dómine, mane exáudies vocem meam. Mane astábo tibi et vidébo: * quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es. Neque habitábit iuxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt iniústi ante óculos tuos. Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium. Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ. Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo. Dómine, deduc me in iustítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam. Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas: * cor eórum vanum est.

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Come, let us adore the King, to whom all things live. Today, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved, and saw my works. Come, let us adore. Forty years was I nigh to this generation, and said: They always err in their hearts: and have not known my ways; to whom I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. Come, let us adore the King, to whom all things live. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them. Come, let us adore. Come, let us adore the King, to whom all things live. 1st Nocturn For Sunday, Monday and Thursday Ant. I Direct, * O Lord my God, my way in thy sight. Psalm 5 Give ear, O Lord, to my words: * hearken to my cry. Attend to the voice of my prayer: * my King and my God. Because I will pray to thee: * O Lord, in the morning thou wilt hear my voice. In the morning I will stand by thee and will see: * for thou art not a God that willest iniquity. Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor the unjust abide before thy eyes. Thou hatest all that work iniquity: * thou wilt destroy all that speak lies. The bloody and deceitful man the Lord will abhor: * but I, in the multitude of thy mercies, Will enter into thy house: * I will adore at thy holy temple in thy fear. Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight. Because there is no truth in their mouth: * their heart is in vain.

Psalm 6 Lord, rebuke me not in thy fury, * nor chastise me in thy wrath. Have mercy on me, O Lord, because I am infirm: * heal me, O Lord, because my bones are disordered. And my soul is very much troubled: * but thou, O Lord, how long? Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul: * save me for thy mercy’s sake. Because there is none in death that is mindful of thee, * and in hell who will praise thee? I have laboured in my groaning, every night I will wash my bed: * I will water my couch with my tears. My eye is troubled with fury; * I am grown old among all my enemies. Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity: * because the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord has heard my petition: * the Lord has received my prayer. Let all my enemies blush, and be troubled exceedingly: * let them be turned back and ashamed very speedily. Eternal rest * give to them, O Lord.

God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is he angry every day?

What is man, that thou magnifiest him? or why settest thou thy heart towards him? Thou dost visit him early, and suddenly thou provest him: how long dost thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow my spittle? I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? Why hast thou set me contrary to thee, and I am become burthensome to myself ? Why dost thou not take away my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust, and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be. The Lessons are ended without But thou, or any other conclusion. R.

Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine. Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.

The deep calleth on the deep, * at the noise of thy water-floods. All thy waves and storms * are gone over me. The Lord hath commanded his mercy in the daytime; * and a canticle to him in the night season. The prayer to the God of my life is with me, * I will say unto God: Thou dost uphold me. Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst the enemy oppresseth me? Whilst my bones are smitten asunder, * mine enemies that trouble me have reproached me. While they say daily unto me: Where is now thy God? * why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet praise him, * the salvation of my countenance, and my God. Eternal rest * give to them, O Lord. And let perpetual light * shine on them.

Ant. IX My soul has thirsted after the living God: when shall I come and appear before the face of the Lord?

V. Deliver not to beasts the souls that praise thee. R. And the souls of thy poor forget not to the end.

Pater noster, totum secreto. Lectio vii Iob 17: 1-3; 11-15 Spíritus meus attenuábitur, dies mei breviabúntur, et solum mihi súperest sepúlcrum. Non peccávi, et in amaritudínibus morátur óculus meus.

I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness. Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me. My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart. They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.

Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power: * who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The gentiles shall be troubled, and they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: * thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening be joyful. Thou hast visited the earth, and hast watered it plenteously: * thou has copiously enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: * for so is its preparation. Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits: * it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers. Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: * and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.

For thy mercy is better than life: * my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands. Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. If I have remembered thee upon my bed, on thee will I meditate in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.

Ant. Ne reminiscáris, * Dómine, delícta nostra vel paréntum nostrórum, neque vindíctam sumas de peccátis nostris. 1 Psalmus 6 ut in Completorium de feria II P41.

2 Psalmus 31 Beáti quorum remíssæ sunt iniquitátes: * et quorum tecta sunt peccáta. Beátus vir, cui non imputávit Dóminus peccátum, * nec est in spíritu eius dolus.

Psalm 31 2 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven: * and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin: * and in whose spirit there is no guile. Because I was silent my bones grew old: * whilst I cried out all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: * I am turned in my anguish, while the thorn is fastened. I have acknowledged my sin unto thee: * and mine iniquity I have not concealed. I said: I will confess against myself mine iniquity unto the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin. For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee: * in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come night unto him. Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround

Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum clamárem tota die. Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua: * convérsus sum in ærúmna mea, dum confígitur spina. Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et iniustítiam meam non abscóndi. Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me iniustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei. Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno. Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt. Tu es refúgium meum a tribulatióne, quæ circúmdedit me: * exsultátio mea, erue me a circumdántibus me.

Penitential Psalms

Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos. Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus. In camo et freno maxíllas eórum constrínge: * qui non appróximant ad te. Multa flagélla peccatóris, * sperántem autem in Dómino misericórdia circúmdabit. Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, iusti, * et gloriámini, omnes recti corde. Glória Patri. 3 Psalmus 37 Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me. Quóniam sagíttæ tuæ infíxæ sunt mihi: * et confirmásti super me manum tuam. Non est sánitas in carne mea a fácie iræ tuæ: * non est pax óssibus meis a fácie peccatórum meórum. Quóniam iniquitátes meæ supergréssæ sunt caput meum: * et sicut onus grave gravátæ sunt super me. Putruérunt et corrúptæ sunt cicatríces meæ, * a fácie insipiéntiæ meæ. Miser factus sum, et curvátus sum usque in finem: * tota die contristátus ingrediébar. Quóniam lumbi mei impléti sunt illusiónibus: * et non est sánitas in carne mea. Afflíctus sum, et humiliátus sum nimis: * rugiébam a gémitu cordis mei. Dómine, ante te omne desidérium meum: * et gémitus meus a te non est abscónditus. Cor meum conturbátum est, derelíquit me virtus mea: * et lumen oculórum meórum, et ipsum non est mecum. Amíci mei, et próximi mei * advérsum me appropinquavérunt, et stetérunt. Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam. Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt

me. I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way:, in which thou shalt go: * I will fix mine eyes upon thee. Be not as the horse and the mule: * that have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws: * who come not near unto thee. Many are the scourges of the sinner: * but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just: * and be joyful, all ye that are right of heart. Glory be. 3 Psalm 37 Put me not to rebuke, O Lord, in thine anger; * neither chasten me in thy heavy displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, * and thy hand hath pressed me sore. There is no health in my flesh, because of thy displeasure; * neither is there any rest in my bones, by reason of my sin. For my wickednesses are gone over my head, * and like a sore burden, are become heavy upon me. My wounds stink and are corrupt, * because of my foolishness. I am brought into so great misery, that I am bowed down even unto the end: * and I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with illusions, * and there is no health in my flesh. I am afflicted and sore smitten; * I have roared for the very disquietness of my heart. Lord, thou knowest all my desire; * and my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart is troubled, my strength hath failed me, * and the light of mine eyes is gone from me. My friends and my neighbours * have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they also that sought after my life dealt violence. And they that sought evils to me talked of

Penitential Psalms

vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur. Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam: * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum. Et factus sum sicut homo non áudiens: * et non habens in ore suo redargutiónes. Quóniam in te, Dómine, sperávi: * tu exáudies, Dómine, Deus meus. Quia dixi: Nequándo supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei: * et dum commovéntur pedes mei, super me magna locúti sunt. Quóniam ego in flagélla parátus sum: * et dolor meus in conspéctu meo semper. Quóniam iniquitátem meam annuntiábo: * et cogitábo pro peccáto meo. Inimíci autem mei vivunt, et confirmáti sunt super me: * et multiplicáti sunt qui odérunt me iníque. Qui retríbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahébant mihi: * quóniam sequébar bonitátem. Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, Deus meus: * ne discésseris a me. Inténde in adiutórium meum, * Dómine, Deus, salútis meæ. Glória Patri. 4

Psalmus 50 ut in Laudes II.

5 Psalmus 101 Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam: * et clamor meus ad te véniat. Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * in quacúmque die tríbulor, inclína ad me aurem tuam. In quacúmque die invocávero te: * velóciter exáudi me. Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei: * et ossa mea sicut crémium aruérunt. Percússus sum ut fœnum, et áruit cor meum: * quia oblítus sum comédere panem meum. A voce gémitus mei: * adhŴsit os meum carni meæ. Similis factus sum pellicáno solitúdinis: * factus sum sicut nyctícorax in domicílio. Vigilávi, * et factus sum sicut passer solitárius in tecto.

vain things: * and imagined deceit all the day long. As for me, I was like a deaf man, and heard not; * and as one that is dumb, who doth not open his mouth. I became even as a man that heareth not, * and in whose mouth are no reproofs. For in thee, O Lord, have I put my trust; * thou shalt hear me, O Lord my God. For I have said: Lest ever mine enemies should triumph over me; * for when my foot slipped, they spake great things against me. For I am ready for scourges, * and my sorrow is ever in my sight. For I will confess my wickedness, * and be sorry for my sin. But mine enemies live, and are mightier than I; * and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. They also that reward evil for good are against me; * because I follow the thing that is good. Forsake me not, O Lord my God; * do not thou depart from me. Haste thee to help me, * O Lord God of my salvation. Glory be. 4

Psalm 50 as in Lauds 2.

5 Psalm 101 O Lord, hear my prayer, * and let my cry come unto thee. Turn not away thy face from me: * in the time of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * O hear me, and that right soon. For my days are consumed away like smoke, * and my bones are grown dry like as fuel for the fire. I am smitten like grass, and my heart is withered; * so that I forget to eat my bread. For the voice of my groaning, * my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh. I am become like a pelican in the wilderness, * yea, I am like a night raven that is in the house. I have watched, * and am even as it were a sparrow, that sitteth alone upon the

Penitential Psalms

Tota die exprobrábant mihi inimíci mei: * et qui laudábant me, advérsum me iurábant. Quia cínerem tamquam panem manducábam, * et potum meum cum fletu miscébam. A fácie iræ et indignatiónis tuæ: * quia élevans allisísti me. Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt: * et ego sicut fœnum árui. Tu autem, Dómine, in ætérnum pérmanes: * et memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem. Tu exsúrgens miseréberis Sion: * quia tempus miseréndi eius, quia venit tempus. Quóniam placuérunt servis tuis lápides eius: * et terræ eius miserebúntur. Et timébunt gentes nomen tuum, Dómine: * et omnes reges terræ glóriam tuam. Quia ædificávit Dóminus Sion: * et vidébitur in glória sua. Respéxit in oratiónem humílium: * et non sprevit precem eórum. Scribántur hæc in generatióne áltera: * et pópulus qui creábitur, laudábit Dóminum. Quia prospéxit de excélso sancto suo: * Dóminus de cælo in terram aspéxit: Ut audíret gémitus compeditórum: * ut sólveret fílios interemptórum. Ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini: * et laudem eius in Ierúsalem. In conveniéndo pópulos in unum: * et reges ut sérviant Dómino. Respóndit ei in via virtútis suæ: * Paucitátem diérum meórum núntia mihi. Ne révoces me in dimídio diérum meórum: * in generatiónem et generatiónem anni tui. Inítio tu, Dómine, terram fundásti: * et ópera mánuum tuárum sunt cæli. Ipsi peribunt, tu autem pérmanes: * et

housetop. Mine enemies reviled me all the day long; * and they that are praised me are sworn together against me. For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, * and mingled my drink with weeping. Because of thy wrath and indignation; * for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down. My days have declined like a shadow, * and I am withered like grass. But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever, * and thy remembrance throughout all generations. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion; * for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is come. For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: * and they shall have pity on the earth thereof. The nations shall fear thy Name, O Lord; * and all the kings of the earth thy glory. For the Lord hath built up Sion, * and he shall be seen in his glory. He hath turned him unto the prayer of the humble, * and hath despised not their petition. Let these things be written for another generation, * and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. For he hath looked down from his high sanctuary; * out of the heaven did the Lord behold the earth; That he might hear the groans of such as are in fetters, * and release the children of the slain. That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Sion, * and his worship at Jerusalem; When the peoples are gathered together, * and the kings also, to serve the Lord. He answered him in the way of his strength, * Declare unto me the fewness of my days. Call me not away in the midst of my days; * thy years endure throughout all generations. Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, * and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: *

and they all shall wax old like a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed; * but thou art always the same, and thy years shall not fail. The children of thy servants shall continue, * and their seed shall be directed for ever. Glory be.
