Invitatory {Antiphona from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Ant. When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.
Ant. When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.
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. When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. Do not harden your heart.
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. When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.
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. Do not harden your heart.
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. When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.
Ant. When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.

Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum temporum}
Pange, lingua, gloriósi
Láuream certáminis,
Et super Crucis trophǽo
Dic triúmphum nobilem,
Quáliter Redémptor orbis
Immolátus vícerit.
De paréntis protoplásti
Fraude Factor cóndolens,
Quando pomi noxiális
In necem morsu ruit,
Ipse lignum tunc notávit,
Damna ligni ut sólveret.
Hoc opus nostræ salútis
Ordo depopóscerat,
Multifórmis proditóris
Ars ut artem fálleret,
Et medélam ferret inde,
Hostis unde lǽserat.
Quando venit ergo sacri
Plenitúdo témporis,
Missus est ab arce Patris
Natus, orbis Cónditor,
Atque ventre virgináli
Carne amíctus pródiit.
Vagit infans inter arcta
Cónditus præsépia:
Membra pannis involúta
Virgo Mater álligat:
Et Dei manus pedésque
Stricta cingit fáscia.
Sempitérna sit beátæ
Trinitáti glória,
Æqua Patri, Filióque;
Par decus Paráclito:
Uníus Triníque nomen
Laudet univérsitas.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Sing the last, the dread affray;
O'er the cross, the victor's trophy,
Sound the high triumphal lay:
Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer,
As a victim won the day.
God, his Maker, sorely grieving
That the first-made Adam fell,
When he ate the fruit of sorrow,
Whose reward was death and hell,
Noted then this wood, the ruin
Of the ancient wood to quell.
For the work of our salvation
Needs would have his order so,
And the multiform deceiver's
Art by art would overthrow,
And from thence would bring the med'cine
Whence the insult of the foe.
Wherefore, when the sacred fullness
Of the appointed time was come,
This world's Maker left his Father,
Sent the heav'nly mansion from,
And proceeded, God Incarnate,
Of the Virgin's holy womb.
Weeps the infant in the manger
That in Bethlehem's stable stands;
And his limbs the Virgin Mother
Doth compose in swaddling bands,
Meetly thus in linen folding
Of her God the feet and hands.
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.

Psalmus 21 [2]
21:1 Deus, Deus meus, réspice in me: quare me dereliquísti? * longe a salúte mea verba delictórum meórum.
21:2 Deus meus, clamábo per diem, et non exáudies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi.
21:3 Tu autem in sancto hábitas, * laus Israël.
21:4 In te speravérunt patres nostri: * speravérunt, et liberásti eos.
21:5 Ad te clamavérunt, et salvi facti sunt: * in te speravérunt, et non sunt confúsi.
21:6 Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: * oppróbrium hóminum, et abjéctio plebis.
21:7 Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput.
21:8 Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.
21:9 Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ. In te projéctus sum ex útero:
21:10 De ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu, * ne discésseris a me:
21:11 Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádjuvet.
21:13 Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi: * tauri pingues obsedérunt me.
21:14 Aperuérunt super me os suum, * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens.
21:15 Sicut aqua effúsus sum: * et dispérsa sunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:16 Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens * in médio ventris mei.
21:17 Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhæsit fáucibus meis: * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me.
21:18 Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi: * concílium malignántium obsédit me.
21:19 Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos: * dinumeravérunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:20 Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me: * divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea, et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.
21:21 Tu autem, Dómine, ne elongáveris auxílium tuum a me: * ad defensiónem meam cónspice.
21:22 Erue a frámea, Deus, ánimam meam: * et de manu canis únicam meam:

Psalm 21 [2]
21:1 O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
21:2 O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
21:3 But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
21:4 In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
21:5 They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
21:6 But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
21:7 All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
21:8 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
21:9 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb.
21:10 From my mother’s womb thou art my God, * depart not from me.
21:11 For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.
21:13 Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
21:14 They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring.
21:15 I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered.
21:16 My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels.
21:17 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
21:18 For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me.
21:19 They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
21:20 And they have looked and stared upon me. * They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
21:21 But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence.
21:22 Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog.
21:23 Save me from the lion’s mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
21:23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
21:24 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
21:25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man.
21:26 Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me.
21:27 With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
21:28 The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
21:29 All the ends of the earth * shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord:
21:30 And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight.
21:31 For the kingdom is the Lord’s; * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
21:32 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
21:32 And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him.
21:32 There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: * and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. The king rejoices * in Thy strength, O Lord.

22:3 He hath led me on the paths of justice, * for his own name’s sake.
22:4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, * for thou art with me.
22:5 Thy rod and thy staff, * they have comforted me.
22:6 Thou hast prepared a table before me * against them that afflict me.

17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence for I will make thee not to fear their countenance.

26:1 Dóminus illuminátio mea, et salus mea, * quem timébo?
26:2 Dóminus protéctor vitæ meæ, * a quo trepidábo?
26:3 Dum apprópiant super me nocéntes, * ut edant carnes meas:
26:4 Qui tríbulant me inimíci mei, * ipsi infirmáti sunt, et cecidérunt.
26:5 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
26:6 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prælium, * in hoc ego sperábo.
26:6 Unam pétii a Dómino, hanc requíram, * ut inhábitem in domo Dómini ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
26:6 Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini, * et vísitem templum ejus.
26:6 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.
26:6 In petra exaltávit me: * et nunc exaltávit caput meum super inimícos meos.
26:6 Circuívi, et immolávi in tabernáculo ejus hóstiam vociferatiónis: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam Dómino.

26:3 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, * to eat my flesh. * My enemies that trouble me, * have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
26:4 If armies in camp should stand together against me, * my heart shall not fear.
26:5 If a battle should rise up against me, * in this will I be confident.

26:6 Lord, * and may visit his temple.
26:6 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; * in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
26:6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: * and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies.
26:6 I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: * I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
26:7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: * have mercy on me and hear me.
26:8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: * thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
26:9 Turn not away thy face from me; * decline not in thy wrath from thy servant.
26:10 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
26:11 For my father and my mother have left me: * but the Lord hath taken me up.
26:12 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, * and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
26:13 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; * for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
26:14 I believe to see the good things of the Lord * in the land of the living.
26:14 Expect the Lord, do manfully, * and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.

29:3 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: * thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
29:4 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: * and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
29:5 For wrath is in his indignation; * and life in his good will.
29:6 In the evening weeping shall have place, * and in the morning gladness.
29:7 And in my abundance I said: * I shall never be moved.
29:8 O Lord, in thy favour, * thou gavest strength to my beauty.
29:9 Thou turnedst away thy face from me, * and I became troubled.
29:10 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: * and I will make supplication to my God.
29:11 What profit is there in my blood, * whilst I go down to corruption?
29:12 Shall dust confess to thee, * or declare thy truth?
29:13 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: * the Lord became my helper.
29:14 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: * thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
29:15 To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: * O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. In tua iustitia * líbera me Dómine
Psalmus 30 [11]
30:1 In te, Dómine, sperávi non confúndar in ætérnum: * in justítia tua líbera me.
30:2 Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * accélera ut éruas me.
30:3 Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in domum refúgii: * ut salvum me fácias.
30:4 Quóniam fortitúdo mea, et refúgium meum es tu: * et propter nomen tuum dedúces me, et enútries me.
30:5 Edúces me de láqueo hoc, quem abscondérunt mihi: * quóniam tu es protéctor meus.
30:6 In manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum: * redemísti me, Dómine, Deus veritátis.
30:7 Odísti observántes vanitátes, * supervácue.
30:8 Ego autem in Dómino sperávi: * exsultábo, et lætábor in misericórdia tua.
30:9 Quóniam respexísti humilitátem meam, * salvásti de necessitátibus ánimam meam.
30:9 Nec conclusísti me in mánibus inimíci: * statuísti in loco spatióso pedes meos.
30:10 Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor: * conturbátus est in ira óculus meus, ánima mea, et venter meus:
30:11 Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea: * et anni mei in gemítibus.
30:12 Infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea: * et ossa mea conturbáta sunt.
30:13 Super omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium et vicínis meis valde: * et timor notis meis.
30:14 Qui vidébant me, foras fugérunt a me: * oblivióni datus sum, tamquam mórtuus a corde.
30:15 Factus sum tamquam vas pérditum: * quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum commorántium in circúitu.
30:16 In eo dum convenírent simul advérsum me, * accípere ánimam meam consiliáti sunt.
30:17 Ego autem in te sperávi, Dómine: * dixi: Deus meus es tu: in mánibus tuis sortes meæ.
30:18 Éripe me de manu inimicórum meórum, * et a persequéntibus me.
30:19 Illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, salvum me fac in misericórdia tua: * Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te.
30:19 Erubéscant ímpii, et deducántur in inférnum: * muta fiant lábia dolósa.
30:19 Quæ loquúntur advérsus justum iniquitátem: * in supérbia, et in abusióne.
30:20 Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.
30:21 Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.
30:22 Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum.
30:23 Próteges eos in tabernáculo tuo * a contradictióne linguárum.
30:24 Benedíctus Dóminus: * quóniam mirificávit misericórdiam suam mihi in civitáte muníta.
30:25 Ego autem dixi in excéssu mentis meæ: * Projéctus sum a fácie oculórum tuórum.
30:25 Ideo exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.
30:25 Dilígite Dóminum omnes sancti ejus: * quóniam veritátem requíret Dóminus, et retríbuet abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.
30:25 Viríliter ágite, et confortétur cor vestrum, * omnes, qui sperátis in Dómino.

Ant. Deliver me * in Thy righteousness.
Psalm 30 [11]
30:1 In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: * deliver me in thy justice.
30:2 Bow down thy ear to me: * make haste to deliver me.
30:3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, * to save me.
30:4 For thou art my strength and my refuge; * and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
30:5 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: * for thou art my protector.
30:6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: * thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
30:7 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, * to no purpose.
30:8 But I have hoped in the Lord: * I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy.
30:9 For thou hast regarded my humility, * thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
30:9 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: * thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
30:10 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: * my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
30:11 For my life is wasted with grief: * and my years in sighs.
30:12 My strength is weakened through poverty * and my bones are disturbed.
30:13 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; * and a fear to my acquaintance.
30:14 They that saw me without fled from me. * I am forgotten as one dead from the heart.
30:15 I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. * For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about.
30:16 While they assembled together against me, * they consulted to take away my life.
30:17 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: * I said: Thou art my God. My lots are in thy hands.
30:18 Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; * and from them that persecute me
30:19 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy. * Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee.
30:19 Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. * Let deceitful lips be made dumb.
30:19 Which speak iniquity against the just, * with pride and abuse.
30:20 How great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, * which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee!
30:21 Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, * in the sight of the sons of men.
30:22 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, * from the disturbance of men.
30:23 Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle * from the contradiction of tongues.
30:24 Blessed be the Lord, * for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
30:25 But I said in the excess of my mind: * I am cast away from before thy eyes.
30:25 Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, * when I cried to thee.
30:25 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: * for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
30:25 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, * all ye that hope in the Lord.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 31 [12]

31:2 Beátus vir, cui non imputávit Dóminus peccátum, * nec est in spíritu ejus dolus.
31:3 Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum clamárem tota die.
31:4 Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua: * convérsus sum in ærúmna mea, dum confígitur spina.
31:5 Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et injustítiam meam non abscóndi.
31:6 Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me injustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.
31:7 Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno.
31:8 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.
31:9 Tu es refúgium meum a tribulatióne, quæ circúmdedit me: * exsultátio mea, érue me a circumdántibus me.
31:10 Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos.
31:11 Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus.
31:12 In camo et freno maxíllas eórum constrínge, * qui non appróximant ad te.
31:13 Multa flagélla peccatóris, * sperántem autem in Dómino misericórdia circúmdabit.
31:14 Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, justi, * et gloriámini, omnes recti corde.

Psalm 31 [12]
31:1 Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven * and whose sins are covered.
31:2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no guile.
31:2 Because I was silent my bones grew old; * whilst I cried out all the day long.
31:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: * I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
31:5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, * and my injustice I have not concealed.
31:6 I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
31:7 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee * in a seasonable time.
31:8 And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come nigh unto him.
31:9 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
31:10 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: * I will fix my eyes upon thee.
31:12 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * who have no understanding.
31:13 With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, * who come not near unto thee.

Sermo sancti Leonis Papae.
Sermo 9. de Quadragesima.
In omnibus, dilectissimi, solemnitatibus Christianis, non ignoramus paschale sacramentum esse praecipuum: cui condigne et congrue suscipiendo, totius quidem nos temporis instituta reformant: sed devotionem nostram praesentes vel maxime dies exigunt, quos illi sublimissimo divinae misericordiae sacramento scimus esse contiguos. In quibus merito a sanctis Apostolis per doctrinam Spiritus sancti majora sunt ordinata jejunia: ut per commune consortium crucis Christi, etiam nos aliquid in eo quod propter nos gessit, ageremus, sicut Apostolus ait: Si compatimur, et conglorificabimur. Certa atque secura est exspectatio promisse beatitudinis, ubi est participatio Dominicae passionis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Deus meus es tu, ne discedas a me:
* Quoniam tribulatio proxima est, et non est qui adjuvet.
V. Tu autem Domine ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me: ad defensionem meam aspice.
R. Quoniam tribulatio proxima est, et non est qui adjuvet.

Reading 4
From the Sermons of Pope St Leo the Great.
9th for Lent.
Dearly beloved brethren, we know that of all the solemn Feasts which are kept by Christians the Passover is the chief. The ordinances of the whole rest of the year are ordered to the end of preparing us to come to this one in worthy and meet manner. But these days, which now are, are they which ought most especially to stir up a godly mind in us, seeing that they are they which are nearest to that most glorious mystery of God's mercy. In these days the holy Apostles, taught by the Holy Ghost, ordered the chiefest store of Fasting, that we, sharing His Cross with Christ, might, albeit we are what we are, in Him, do some of the same things which He did for our sakes, and so realise the saying of the Apostle If we suffer with Him, we shall be also glorified together.'' (Rom. viii. 17.) He that is partaker of the sufferings 2 Cor. i. 7 of the Lord hath a sure and certain hope of that blessedness which He hath promised unto us.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Thou art my God be not far from me for trouble is near;
* For there is none to help.
V. But be not thy strength far from me; O Lord, haste thee to help me.
R. For trouble is near; for there is none to help.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Christus perpetuae det nobis gaudia vitae. Amen.
Lectio 5
Nemo est, dilectissimi, cui per conditionem temporis societas hujus gloriae denegetur, tamquam tranquillitas pacis vacua sit occasione virtutis. Apostolus enim praedicat, dicens: Omnes qui pie volunt vivere in Christo, persecutionem patientur: et ideo numquam deest tribulatio persecutionis, si numquam desit observantia pietatis. Dominus enim in exhortationibus suis dicit: Qui non accipit crucem suam, et sequitur me, non est me dignus. Nec dubitare debemus, hanc vocem non solum ad discipulos Christi, sed ad cunctos fideles, totamque Ecclesiam pertinere, quae salutare suum in his qui aderant, universaliter audiebat.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. In te jactatus sum ex utero, de ventre matris meas Deus meus es tu, ne discedas a me:
* Quoniam tribulatio proxima est, et non est qui adjuvet.
V. Salva me ex ore leonis, et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.
R. Quoniam tribulatio proxima est, et non est qui adjuvet.

Reading 5
Dearly beloved brethren, there is no man to whom the state of the age in which he liveth denieth a share in this glory of partaking, first the sufferings, and then the triumph and joy, of Christ. It is not as though this time of peace were barren in occasions of valour. The Apostle giveth us this warning All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim. iii. 12. And therefore, as long as godliness is watchful, persecution will never be asleep. The Lord Himself saith in one of His own exhortations He that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. Matth. x. 38. And we must not doubt that these words of Christ apply not only to His immediate disciples, to whom He spoke them, but belong to all the faithful and to the whole Church, who, whosoever be the believers of whom she is for the time composed on earth, heareth in these words the way to be saved which her Lord hath appointed for them.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God from my mother's belly; be not far from me.
* For trouble is near, and there is none to help.
V. Save me from the lion's mouth, and mine affliction from the horns of the unicorns.
R. For trouble is near, and there is none to help.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.

Lectio 6
Sicut ergo totius est corporis pie vivere, ita totius est temporis crucem ferre: quae merito ferri unicuique suadetur, quia propriis modis atque mensuris ab uno quoque toleratur. Unum nomen est persecutionis, sed non una est causa certaminis: et plus plerumque periculi est in insidiatore occulto, quam in hoste manifesto. Beatus Job alternantibus bonis ac malis mundi hujus eruditus, pie veracitorque dicebat: Nonne tentatio est vita hominis super terram? Quoniam non solis doloribus corporis atque suppliciis anima fidelis impetitur, verum etiam, salva incolumitate membrorum, gravi morbo urgetur, si carnis voluptate mollitur. Sed cum caro concupiscit adversus spiritum, spiritus autem adversus carnem; praesidio crucis Christi mens rationalis instruitur, nec cupiditatibus noxiis illecta consentit, quoniam continentiae clavis, et Dei timore transfigitur.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. In proximo est tribulatio mea Domine, et non est qui adjuvet; ut fodiant manus meas et pedes meos: libera me de ore leonis,
* Ut enarrem nomen tuum fratribus meis.
V. Erue a framea Deus animam meam, et de manu canis unicam meam.
R. Ut enarrem nomen tuum fratribus meis.
R. In proximo est tribulatio mea Domine, et non est qui adjuvet; ut fodiant manus meas et pedes meos: libera me de ore leonis, * Ut enarrem nomen tuum fratribus meis.

Reading 6
As then, it is the duty of the whole body of the Church to live godly, so is it her right at all times to be a-bearing of her Master's Cross, and that not only in her general body, but individually in the person of each one of her members, who differ every one from another in the way in which they have to carry it, and the shape in which it is laid upon them. The one common name for all their carrying of the Cross is persecution, but the manner of his wrestling is special to each; and there is often more danger in the ambush than in the pitched field of battle. Blessed Job, who had tried both the goods and the ills of this world, said Is not the life of man upon earth a warfare? vii. 1. The attack upon the faithful soul arrayeth itself not alone in bodily torture and punishment; yea, when the limbs are sound enough, fearful is the ravage that threateneth us when the lusts of the flesh unman us. But when the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh Gal. iv. 7 the reasonable mind findeth her reinforcement in the helpful Cross of Christ, and though she be lured by foul cravings, yet refuseth to give her consent, for God maketh her pure thoughts to tremble for fear of Him. Ps. cxviii. 120.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. O Lord, my trouble is near, and there is none to help me; or ever they pierce my hands and my feet, save me from the lion's mouth!
* That I may declare thy Name unto my brethren.
V. O God, deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.
R. That I may declare thy Name unto my brethren.
R. O Lord, my trouble is near, and there is none to help me; or ever they pierce my hands and my feet, save me from the lion's mouth! * That I may declare thy Name unto my brethren.

33:3 A voce angeli fugerunt populi, et ab exaltatione tua dispersae sunt gentes.
33:4 Et congregabuntur spolia vestra sicut colligitur bruchus, velut cum fossae plenae fuerint de eo.
33:5 Magnificatus est Dominus, quoniam habitavit in excelso; implevit Sion judicio et justitia.
33:6 Et erit fides in temporibus tuis: divitiae salutis sapientia et scientia; timor Domini ipse est thesaurus ejus.
33:7 Ecce videntes clamabunt foris; angeli pacis amare flebunt.
33:8 Dissipatae sunt viae, cessavit transiens per semitam: irritum factum est pactum, projecit civitates, non reputavit homines.
33:9 Luxit et elanguit terra; confusus est Libanus, et obsorduit: et factus est Saron sicut desertum, et concussa est Basan, et Carmelus.

33:2 O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
33:3 At the voice of the angel the people fled, and at the lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.
33:4 And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.
33:5 The Lord is magnified, for he hath dwelt on high: he hath filled Sion with judgment and justice.
33:6 And there shall be faith in thy times: riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
33:7 Behold they that see shall cry without, the angels of peace shall weep bitterly.
33:8 The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the road, the covenant is made void, he hath rejected the cities, he hath not regarded the men.
33:9 The land hath mourned, and languished: Libanus is confounded and become foul, and Saron is become as a desert: and Basan and Carmel are shaken.
33:10 Now will I rise up, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris:

John 8:46-59
In illo tempore: Dicebat Jesus turbis Judaeorum: Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi? Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Gregorii Papae.
Homilia 18. in Evangelia.
Pensate, fratres carissimi, mansuetudinem Dei. Relaxare peccata venerat, et dicebat: Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Non dedignatur ex ratione ostendere se peccatorem non esse, qui ex virtute divinitatis poterat peccatores justificare. Sed terribile est valde, quod subditur: Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit: propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis. Si enim ipse verba Dei audit qui ex Deo est, et audire verba ejus non potest quisquis ex illo non est: interroget se unusquisque, si verba Dei in aure cordis percipit; et intelliget unde sit. Celestem patriam desiderare Veritas jubet, carnis desideria conteri, mundi gloriam declinare, aliena non appetere, propria largiri.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Tota die contristatus ingrediebar Domine: quoniam anima mea completa est illusionibus
* Et vim faciebant, qui quaerebant animam meam.
V. Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt et steterunt; et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt.
R. Et vim faciebant, qui quaerebant animam meam.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.
Reading 7
From the holy Gospel according to John
John 8:46-59
In that time Jesus said to the multitude of Jews: Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?And so on.
Homily by Pope St Gregory (the Great)
15th on the Gospels.
Dearly beloved brethren, consider the gentleness of God. He came to take away sins, and He saith Which of you convinceth Me of sin? He Who, through the might of His Godhead, was able to justify sinners, was contented to show by argument that He was not Himself a sinner. But exceeding dread is that which followeth. He that is of God heareth God's words; ye, therefore, hear them not, because ye are not of God. If, then, whosoever is of God heareth God's words, and whosoever is not of Him cannot hear His words, let each one ask himself if he, in the ear of his heart, heareth God's words, and understandeth Whose words they are? The Truth commandeth us to long for a Fatherland in heaven, to bridle the lusts of the flesh, to turn away from the glory of the world, to seek no man's goods, and to give away our own.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. O Lord, I go mourning all the day long, for my soul is filled with a loathsome disease
* They also that sought after my life have used violence against me.
V. My friends and my neighbours draw near, and stand over against me; and they that are nearest to me stand afar off.
R. They also that sought after my life have used violence against me.
|
V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Divinum auxilium maneat semper nobiscum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Penset ergo apud se unusquisque vestrum, si haec vox Dei in cordis ejus aure convaluit, et quia jam ex Deo sit, agnoscit. Nam sunt nonnulli, qui praecepta Dei nec aure corporis percipere dignantur. Et sunt nonnulli, qui haec quidem corporis aure percipiunt, sed nullo ea mentis desiderio complectuntur. Et sunt nonnulli, qui libenter verba Dei suscipiunt, ita ut etiam in fletibus compungantur, sed post lacrimarum tempus ad iniquitatem redeunt. Hi profecto verba Dei non audiunt, qui haec exercere in opere contemnunt. Vitam ergo vestram, fratres carissimi, ante mentis oculos revocate, et alta consideratione pertimescite hoc quod ex ore Veritatis sonat: Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ne avertas faciem tuam a puero tuo Domine:
* Quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me
V. Intende animae meae, et libera eam: propter inimicos meos eripe me.
R. Quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. Amen.
Reading 8
Let each of you, therefore, think within himself if this voice of God is heard in the ear of his heart, and if he knoweth already if he is of God. For some there be, whom it pleaseth not to hear the commandments of God even with their bodily ears. And some there be, who receive the same with their bodily ears, but whose heart is far from them. And some also there be, who hear the words of God with joy, so that they are moved thereby even to tears; but when their fit of weeping is past they turn again to iniquity. They hear not the words of God, who despise to do them. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, call up your own life before your mind's eye, and then ponder with trembling those awful words which the mouth of the Truth spake Ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. O Lord, hide not thy face from thy servant
* For I am in trouble; hear me speedily.
V. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; deliver me, because of mine enemies.
R. For I am in trouble; hear me speedily.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Ad societatem civium supernorum perducat nos Rex Angelorum. Amen.
Lectio 9
Sed hoc quod de reprobis Veritas loquitur, ipsi hoc de semetipsis reprobi iniquis suis operibus ostendunt: nam sequitur: Responderunt igitur Judaei et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos, quia Samaritanus es tu, et daemonium habes? Accepta autem tanta contumelia, quid Dominus respondeat, audiamus: Ego daemonium non habeo, sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonoratis me. Quia enim Samaritanus interpretatur custos: et ipse veraciter custos est, de quo Psalmista ait: Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, in vanum vigilant qui custodiunt eam: et cui per Isaiam dicitur: Custos quid de nocte? custos quid de nocte? respondere noluit Dominus:' Samaritanus non sum; sed, Ego demonium non habeo. Duo quippe ei illata fuerunt: unum negavit, aliud tacendo consensit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Quis dabit capiti meo aquam, et oculis meis fontem lacrimarum, et plorabo die ac nocte? quia frater propinquus supplantavit me,
* Et omnis amicus fraudulenter incessit in me.
V. Fiant viae eorum tenebrae et lubricum: et Angelus Domini persequens eos.
R. Et omnis amicus fraudulenter incessit in me.
R. Quis dabit capiti meo aquam, et oculis meis fontem lacrimarum, et plorabo die ac nocte? quia frater propinquus supplantavit me, * Et omnis amicus fraudulenter incessit in me.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 9
The Truth speaketh these words concerning the reprobate; but the reprobate make manifest the same thing concerning themselves, by their evil works. Thus immediately followeth Then answered the Jews, and said unto Him Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? But let us hear what the Lord said to this insult. I have not a devil, but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. The Lord said I have not a devil, but He did not say I am not a Samaritan, for in a sense a Samaritan He was indeed, since the word Samaritan, in the Hebrew tongue, signifieth, being interpreted, a Watcher, and the Lord is that Watcher, of Whom the Psalmist saith cxxviii. 2 that unless He keep the city, other watchman waketh but in vain. He also is that Watchman unto Whom crieth Isaiah xxi. 11: Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? Therefore the Lord said I have not a devil, but not I am not a Samaritan. Of the two things brought against Him He denied one; but by His silence, admitted the other.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. O that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night! for my nearest brother hath supplanted me,
* And my neighbour hath walked with slanders against me.
V. Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the Angel of the Lord persecute them.
R. And my neighbour hath walked with slanders against me.
R. O that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night! for my nearest brother hath supplanted me, and my neighbour hath walked with slanders against me.

Sequentia Sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem
John 8:46-59
8:46 Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
8:47 Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
8:48 Responderunt ergo Judaei, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et daemonium habes?
8:49 Respondit Jesus: Ego daemonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
8:50 Ego autem non quaero gloriam meam: est qui quaerat, et judicet.
8:51 Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in aeternum.
8:52 Dixerunt ergo Judaei: Nunc cognovimus quia daemonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et prophetae; et tu dicis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in aeternum.
8:53 Numquid tu major es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et prophetae mortui sunt. Quem teipsum facis?
8:54 Respondit Jesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
8:55 Et non cognovistis eum: ego autem novi eum. Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem ejus servo.
8:56 Abraham pater vester exsultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
8:57 Dixerunt ergo Judaei ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
8:58 Dixit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
8:59 Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
Te décet laus, ✝ te decet hymnus: tibi glória Deo Patri, et Fílio, cum Spíritu Sancto in sǽcula seculórum. Amen.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 8:46-59
8:46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
8:47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
8:48 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
8:49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
8:50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
8:51 Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
8:52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.
8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
8:54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
8:55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.
8:56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
8:57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
8:58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
8:59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
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.
