Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us worship Him.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
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 me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us worship Him.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Hostis Heródes ímpie,
Christum veníre quid times?
Non éripit mortália,
Qui regna dat cæléstia.
Ibant magi, quam víderant,
Stellam sequéntes prǽviam:
Lumen requírunt lúmine:
Deum faténtur múnere.
Lavácra puri gúrgitis
Cæléstis Agnus áttigit:
Peccáta, quæ non détulit,
Nos abluéndo sústulit.
Novum genus poténtiæ:
Aquæ rubéscunt hýdriæ,
Vinúmque iussa fúndere,
Mutávit unda oríginem.
Glória tibi, Dómine,
Qui apparuísti hódie,
Cum Patre, et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
|
Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Why, impious Herod, vainly fear
That Christ the Saviour cometh here?
He takes no 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,
Might cleanse His people from their own.
New miracle of power divine!
The water reddens into wine:
He spake the word: and poured the wave
In other streams than nature gave.
All glory, Lord, to thee we pay
For thine Epiphany to-day:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

De Epístola prima ad Corínthios
1 Cor 6:1-6
1 Audet áliquis vestrum, habens negótium advérsus álterum, iudicári apud iníquos, et non apud sanctos?
2 An nescítis quóniam sancti de hoc mundo iudicábunt? Et si in vobis iudicábitur mundus, indígni estis qui de mínimis iudicétis?
3 Nescítis quóniam ángelos iudicábimus? quanto magis sæculária?
4 Sæculária ígitur iúdicia, si habuéritis: contemptíbiles, qui sunt in Ecclésia, illos constitúite ad iudicándum.
5 Ad verecúndiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit iudicáre inter fratrem suum?
6 Sed frater cum fratre iudício conténdit: et hoc apud infidéles?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor 6:1-6
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints
2 Know you not that the saints shall judge this world And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters
3 Know you not that we shall judge angels how much more things of this world
4 If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. This day, when the Lord was baptized in Jordan, the heavens were opened, and the Spirit descended like a dove, and abode upon Him, and, lo, the voice of the Father was heard, like unto thunder, saying:
* This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.
℣. The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven
℟. This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.

1 Cor 6:7-11
7 Iam quidem omníno delíctum est in vobis, quod iudícia habétis inter vos. Quare non magis iniúriam accípitis? quare non magis fraudem patímini?
8 Sed vos iniúriam fácitis, et fraudátis: et hoc frátribus.
9 An nescítis quia iníqui regnum Dei non possidébunt? Nolíte erráre: neque fornicárii, neque idólis serviéntes, neque adúlteri,
10 Neque molles, neque masculórum concubitóres, neque fures, neque avári, neque ebriósi, neque malédici, neque rapáces, regnum Dei possidébunt.
11 Et hæc quidam fuístis: sed ablúti estis, sed sanctificáti estis, sed iustificáti estis in nómine Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, et in Spíritu Dei nostri.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

1 Cor 6:7-11
7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.
9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
10 Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
11 And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Discourse on the Epiphany, 2
I am not able to restrain the outbursts of my happiness. I feel changed and elated. I forget my own meanness while I undertake and try to discharge the office of the great John. It is true that I am not the Forerunner, but at least I come from the desert. Christ is enlightened, or rather, He enlighteneth us with His own light. Christ is baptized; let us go down with Him into the water, that we may come up with Him.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Shine, shine, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come;

John is baptizing. Jesus cometh. He cometh that He may make holy him who baptizeth Him; He cometh to bury the old Adam in the waters; He cometh to hallow the blessed flood of Jordan. He Who is Flesh and Spirit cometh to open for all that should ever be baptized that power of generation whereby new peoples are constantly begotten of water and the Holy Ghost. The Baptist will not receive Him. Jesus striveth with him. I, saith John, have need to be baptized of thee. Thus speaketh the candle to the Sun, the voice to the Word.

Antequam veníret Dóminus ut baptizarétur a Ioánne in Iordáne, nóverat eum illis vócibus, ubi ait: Tu ad me venis baptizári? ego a te débeo baptizári. Sed ecce Dóminum nóverat, nóverat Fílium Dei. Unde probámus quod iam nóverat, quia ipse baptizáret in Spíritu Sancto? Antequam veníret ad flúvium, cum multi ad Ioánnem cúrrerent baptizári, ait illis: Ego quidem baptízo vos in aqua: qui autem post me venit, maior me est: cuius non sum dignus corrígiam calceaménti sólvere: ipse vos baptizábit in Spíritu Sancto, et igni.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 1:29-34
At that time, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
6th Tract on John
John knew Jesus even before He came to be baptized of him in Jordan, as we perceive by the words I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest Thou to me? Behold, how he knew that He was the Lord, how he knew that He was the Son of God! How do we prove that he knew that He it was Who should baptize with the Holy Ghost? Before the Lord came to the river, when many betook themselves to John to be baptized of him, the Baptist said I indeed baptize you with water but One Mightier than I cometh; the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. (Luke iii. 16.) Behold, John knew this also.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Quid ergo per colúmbam dídicit, ne mendax póstea inveniátur, (quod avértat a nobis Deus opinári) nisi quamdam proprietátem in Christo talem futúram, ut quamvis multi minístri baptizatúri essent, sive iusti, sive iniústi, non tribuerétur sánctitas baptísmi nisi illi, super quem descéndit colúmba, de quo dictum est: Hic est qui baptízat in Spíritu Sancto? Petrus baptízet, hic est qui baptízat: Paulus baptízet, hic est qui baptízat: Iudas baptízet, hic est qui baptízat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Vidéntes stellam Magi, gavísi sunt gáudio magno:
* Et intrántes domum invenérunt púerum cum María matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum: * Et apértis thesáuris suis obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.
℣. Stella, quam víderant Magi in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra ubi erat puer.

Yet John saith: I knew Him Now, how are we to explain this without calling John a liar? and God forbid that we should ever even think anything of the kind. Was it not that when the Dove descended on Christ, John then for the first time knew Him to have that peculiar attribute, that, whosoever should baptize with His Baptism, whether they were themselves just or unjust, the virtue of the Sacrament should proceed, not from them, but from Him on Whom abode the Dove; so that He is the real Baptizer in every Christian Baptism until the end of time, and it is in this sense that it is said of Him the Same is He Which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost Whether it be Peter, or Paul, or Judas, that performeth the ceremony, the real Baptizer and effectual Worker is Christ.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. When the wise men saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
* And when they were come into the house, they found the young Child with Mary His Mother, and fell down and worshipped Him; *
and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Nam si pro diversitáte meritórum baptísma sanctum est: quia divérsa sunt mérita, divérsa erunt baptísmata: et tanto quisque áliquid mélius putátur accípere, quanto a melióre vidétur accepísse. Ipsi sancti, (intellégite, fratres) boni pertinéntes ad colúmbam, pertinéntes ad sortem civitátis illíus Ierúsalem, ipsi boni in Ecclésia, de quibus dicit Apóstolus: Novit Dóminus qui sunt eius; diversárum gratiárum sunt, non omnes pária mérita habent.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Venit lumen tuum, Ierúsalem, † et glória Dómini super te orta est :

For if the holiness of the baptism depended on the holiness of the particular officiator, no two baptisms would be exactly alike, and every one would be supposed to be more or less regenerated according as the minister who baptized him was more or less of a saint.
Now, my brethren, understand me. The saints themselves, those good men who appertain to the Dove, those good men whose portion is in Jerusalem, those good men in the Church, of whom the Apostle saith: the Lord knoweth them that are His, 2 Tim. ii. 19, these good men differ one from another by diversities of graces, and are not all of the same worthiness.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Thy light is come, O Jerusalem, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
* And the Gentiles shall walk in thy light, and kings in the brightness of thy rising.

Sunt álii áliis sanctióres, sunt álii áliis melióres. Quare ergo si unus ab illo, verbi grátia, iusto, sancto baptizétur, álius ab álio inferióris mériti apud Deum, inferióris gradus, inferióris continéntiæ, inferióris vitæ; unum tamen et par et æquále est quod accepérunt, nisi quia hic est, qui baptízat?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Some are holier than others, and some are better than others. Supposing then for the sake of argument that A is baptized by B, a righteous saint, and C is baptized by D who is less worthy in the sight of God, who hath attained only a lower degree in godliness, who is not so chaste, and whose life is not so good as B's, yet A and C receive just the same thing. And how is this, unless it be that it is Christ Himself Who is the effectual Baptizer?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. This is the great day in which the Savior of the world appeared, whom the Prophets foretold, the Angels announced.
* At whose star the Magi rejoiced, and offered Him gifts.

Sequéntia +︎ sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem.
Ioann 1:29-34
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
In illo témpore: Vidit Ioánnes Iesum veniéntem ad se, et ait: Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce, qui tollit peccátum mundi. Hic est, de quo dixi: Post me venit vir, qui ante me factus est: quia prior me erat. Et ego nesciébam eum, sed ut manifestétur in Israël, proptérea veni ego in aqua baptízans. Et testimónium perhíbuit Ioánnes, dicens: Quia vidi Spíritum descendéntem quasi colúmbam de coelo, et mansit super eum. Et ego nesciébam eum: sed qui misit me baptizáre in aqua, ille mihi dixit: Super quem víderis Spíritum descendéntem, et manéntem super eum, hic est, qui baptízat in Spíritu Sancto. Et ego vidi: et testimónium perhíbui, quia hic est Fílius Dei.
℟. Amen
Te decet laus, ✠ te decet hymnus: tibi glória Deo Patri, et Fílio, cum Spíritu Sancto in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Continuation +︎ of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 1:29-34
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he said, Behold, the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of Whom I said, ‘After me there comes One Who has been set above me, because He was before me.’ And I did not know Him. But that He may be known to Israel, for this reason have I come baptizing with water. And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon Him. And I did not know Him. But He Who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He upon Whom you will see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon Him, He it is Who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
℟. Amen
Thou art worthy of praise, thou art worthy of hymns, to Thee be glory: to God the Father and the Son with the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
