Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
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.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Crudélis Heródes, Deum
Regem 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 jussa fúndere,
Mutávit unda oríginem.
Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui apparuísti Géntibus,
Cum Patre et almo 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, judicári apud iníquos, et non apud sanctos?
2 An nescítis quóniam sancti de hoc mundo judicábunt? Et si in vobis judicábitur mundus, indígni estis qui de mínimis judicétis?
3 Nescítis quóniam ángelos judicábimus? quanto magis sæculária?
4 Sæculária ígitur júdicia, si habuéritis: contemptíbiles, qui sunt in Ecclésia, illos constitúite ad judicándum.
5 Ad verecúndiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit judicáre inter fratrem suum?
6 Sed frater cum fratre judício conténdit: et hoc apud infidéles?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Hódie in Jordáne baptizáto Dómino apérti sunt cæli, et sicut colúmba super eum Spíritus mansit, et vox Patris intónuit:
* Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui.

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 Jam quidem omníno delíctum est in vobis, quod judícia habétis inter vos. Quare non magis injúriam accípitis? quare non magis fraudem patímini?
8 Sed vos injúriam 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 justificáti estis in nómine Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, et in Spíritu Dei nostri.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. In colúmbæ spécie Spíritus Sanctus visus est, Patérna vox audíta est:
* Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui.

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.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Holy Ghost appeared in a bodily shape like a dove, and the voice of the Father was heard:

13 Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power.
15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot God forbid.
16 Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

From the Sermons of St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Patriarch of Constantinople.
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;
* And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

Joánnes baptízat, et accédit Jesus, sanctíficans quidem et ipsum, qui baptízat, præcípue tamen ut et véterem Adam sepéliat in aquis, et ante ómnia, ut per hæc sanctificéntur aquæ Jordánis: ut sicut erat spíritus et caro, ita et his, qui baptizándi erant, in spíritu et aqua sanctificatiónis succéssio traderétur.

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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Jesus came up out of the water, having, in a manner, washed the whole world, and brought it up with Him. And He saw the heavens opened not divided, even those heavens which Adam had once shut upon himself and us his descendants, when the cherub's fiery sword barred the gates of Paradise. And the Holy Spirit bare witness, witness unto Him Who is of One Substance with Himself. And witness was given from Heaven, unto Him that came down from heaven.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 1:29-34
In illo témpore: Vidit Joánnes Jesum veniéntem ad se, et ait: Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccátum mundi. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tract. 6 in Joann., ante med.
Antequam veníret Dóminus ut baptizarétur a Joánne in Jordáne, 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 jam nóverat, quia ipse baptizáret in Spíritu Sancto? Antequam veníret ad flúvium, cum multi ad Joánnem cúrrerent baptizári, ait illis: Ego quidem baptízo vos in aqua: qui autem post me venit, major me est: cujus non sum dignus corrígiam calceaménti sólvere: ipse vos baptizábit in Spíritu Sancto, et igni. Jam et hoc nóverat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Stella, quam víderant Magi in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, donec venírent ad locum, ubi puer erat.
* Vidéntes autem eam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno.
℣. Et intrántes domum, invenérunt púerum cum María matre ejus, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum.
℟. Vidéntes autem eam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno.

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.
℟. The star which the wise men had seen in the East, went before them, till they came where the young Child was.
* And when they 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 saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum. Amen.

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 justi, sive injústi, 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: Judas baptízet, hic est qui baptízat. 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.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Vidéntes stellam Magi, gavísi sunt gáudio magno:
* Et intrántes domum invenérunt púerum cum María matre ejus, 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.
℟. Et intrántes domum invenérunt púerum cum María matre ejus, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum:
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Et apértis thesáuris suis obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.

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. 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.
℣. 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.
℣. The star which the wise men had seen in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
℟. And when they were come into the house, they found the young Child with Mary His Mother, and fell down and worshipped Him.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Ipsi sancti, (intellégite, fratres) boni pertinéntes ad colúmbam, pertinéntes ad sortem civitátis illíus Jerúsalem, ipsi boni in Ecclésia, de quibus dicit Apóstolus: Novit Dóminus qui sunt ejus; diversárum gratiárum sunt, non omnes pária mérita habent. Sunt álii áliis sanctióres, sunt álii áliis melióres. Quare ergo si unus ab illo, verbi grátia, justo, 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?

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. 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.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
