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.

34:14 Humiliábam in ieiúnio ánimam meam: * et orátio mea in sinu meo convertétur.
34:15 Quasi próximum, et quasi fratrem nostrum, sic complacébam: * quasi lugens et contristátus, sic humiliábar.
34:16 Et advérsum me lætáti sunt, et convenérunt: * congregáta sunt super me flagélla, et ignorávi.
34:17 Dissipáti sunt, nec compúncti, tentavérunt me, subsannavérunt me subsannatióne: * frenduérunt super me déntibus suis.

37:5 Putruérunt et corrúptæ sunt cicatríces meæ, * a fácie insipiéntiæ meæ.

37:8 Afflíctus sum, et humiliátus sum nimis: * rugiébam a gémitu cordis mei.

Ant. O Lord * do not chastise me in thy wrath.
Psalm 37(1-11) [7]
37:1 Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; * nor chastise me in thy wrath.
37:2 For thy arrows are fastened in me: * and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
37:3 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: * there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
37:4 For my iniquities are gone over my head: * and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
37:5 My sores are putrified and corrupted, * because of my foolishness.
37:6 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: * I walked sorrowful all the day long.
37:7 For my loins are filled with illusions; * and there is no health in my flesh.
37:8 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: * I roared with the groaning of my heart.
37:9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, * and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
37:10 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, * and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

37:12 Amíci mei, et próximi mei * advérsum me appropinquavérunt, et stetérunt.
37:13 Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam.
37:14 Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur.
37:15 Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam: * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum.
37:16 Et factus sum sicut homo non áudiens: * et non habens in ore suo redargutiónes.
37:17 Quóniam in te, Dómine, sperávi: * tu exáudies me, Dómine, Deus meus.
37:18 Quia dixi: Nequándo supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei: * et dum commovéntur pedes mei, super me magna locúti sunt.
37:19 Quóniam ego in flagélla parátus sum: * et dolor meus in conspéctu meo semper.
37:20 Quóniam iniquitátem meam annuntiábo: * et cogitábo pro peccáto meo.
37:21 Inimíci autem mei vivunt, et confirmáti sunt super me: * et multiplicáti sunt qui odérunt me iníque.
37:22 Qui retríbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahébant mihi: * quóniam sequébar bonitátem.

Psalm 37(12-23) [8]
37:12 My friends and my neighbours *have drawn near, and stood against me.
37:13 And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they that sought my soul used violence.
37:14 And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, * and studied deceits all the day long.
37:15 But I, as a deaf man, heard not: * and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
37:16 And I became as a man that heareth not: * and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
37:17 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: * thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
37:18 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: * and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:19 For I am ready for scourges: * and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:20 For I will declare my iniquity: * and I will think for my sin.
37:21 But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: * and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:22 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, * because I followed goodness.
37:23 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: * do not thou depart from me.

38:5 Locútus sum in lingua mea: * Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum.
38:6 Et númerum diérum meórum quis est: * ut sciam quid desit mihi.

38:16 Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe lácrimas meas.
38:17 Ne síleas: quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, et peregrínus, * sicut omnes patres mei.

Psalm 38 [9]
38:1 I said: I will take heed to my ways: * that I sin not with my tongue.
38:2 I have set guard to my mouth, * when the sinner stood against me.
38:3 I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: * and my sorrow was renewed.
38:4 My heart grew hot within me: * and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
38:5 I spoke with my tongue: * O Lord, make me know my end.
38:6 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.
38:7 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: * and my substance is as nothing before thee.
38:8 And indeed all things are vanity: * every man living.
38:9 Surely man passeth as an image: * yea, and he is disquieted in vain.
38:10 He storeth up: * and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
38:11 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with thee.
38:12 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: * thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
38:13 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it: * remove thy scourges from me.
38:14 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * thou hast corrected man for iniquity.
38:15 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.
38:16 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.
38:17 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, * and a sojourner as all my fathers were.
38:18 O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, * and be no more.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Ioannem.
Iohn 7:1-13
In illo tempore: Ambulabat Iesus in Galilaeam: non enim volebat in Iudaeam ambulare, quia quaerebant eum Iudaei interficere. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tractatus 28. in Ioannem.
In isto Evangelii capitulo, fratres, Dominus noster Iesus Christus secundum hominem se plurimum commendavit fidei nostrae. Etenim semper hoc egit dictis et factis suis, ut Deus credatur et homo: Deus qui nos fecit, homo qui nos quaesivit: Deus cum Patre semper, homo nobiscum ex tempore. Non enim quaereret quem fecerat, nisi fieret ipse quod fecerat. Verum hoc mementote, et de cordibus vestris nolite dimittere: sic esse Christum hominem factum, ut non destiterit Deus esse. Manens Deus accepit hominem, qui fecit hominem.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Adiutor et susceptor meus es tu Domine: et in verbum tuum speravi:
* Declinate a me maligni: et scrutabor mandata Dei mei.
V. Iniquos odio habui: et legem tuam dilexi.
R. Declinate a me maligni: et scrutabor mandata Dei mei.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 7:1-13
In that time Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
28th Tract on John.
In this chapter of the Gospel, my brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ hath much commended Himself unto our faith, as touching His Manhood. At the same time, His words and works were alway such as to give us to believe that He is both God and Man, yea, that God Who made us, and that Man Who hath sought us, yea, God the Son, Who, as touching His Godhead, is alway with the Father, John i. 18; iii. 13, and, as touching His Manhood, hath been with us in time. Matth. i. 23. For He had not sought the work of His hands unless He had been made His own work. John i. 14. Keep this well in mind, and let your hearts never forget it, namely, that Christ was not made Man so as to cease to be God. He, Who made the Manhood, took It into that Godhead Which is His from everlasting to everlasting.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Thou art my Helper and my Protector, O Lord, and in thy word do I hope.
* Depart from me, ye evil doers, for I will keep the commandments of my God.
V. I hate the unrighteous, but thy law do I love.
R. Depart from me, ye evil doers, for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Lectio 2
Quando ergo latuit ut homo, non potentiam perdidisse putandus est, sed exemplum infirmitati praebuisse. Ille enim quando voluit, detentus est: quando voluit, occisus est. Sed quoniam futura erant membra eius, id est, fideles eius, qui non haberent illam potestatem, quam habebat ipse Deus noster: quod latebat, quod se tamquam ne occideretur, occultabat, hoc indicabat factura esse membra sua, in quibus utique membris suis ipse erat.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur:
* Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus Deus salutis meae.
V. Domine labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

Reading 2
While therefore He lay hid in the Manhood, we must not think that He had suffered any lessening of power, but that He was giving ensample to our weakness. When He willed it, He was taken; when He willed it, He was put to death. John x. 18. But, since He was to have members, that is, His faithful people, who would not have that power over their lives which He, our God, had over His, He hid Himself, He concealed Himself, as if it were to escape being put to death, to show what should be done by those His members in whom He should dwell.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
* Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation.

Non enim Christus in capite, et non in corpore: sed Christus totus in capite, et in corpore. Quod ergo membra eius, ipse: quod autem ipse, non continuo membra eius. Nam si non ipsi essent membra eius, non diceret Saulo: Quid me persequeris? Non enim Saulus ipsum, sed membra eius, id est, fideles eius, in terra persequebatur. Noluit tamen dicere sanctos meos servos meos, postremo honorabilius, fratres meos: sed me, hoc est membra mea, quibus ego sum caput.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus, animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:

Reading 3
Christ is not the Head of His Church in such sense that He is not in her Body; but the whole Christ is in the Head, and the whole Christ is in the Body. That, then, which His members are is Himself, though That Which He is, That are not therefore His members. For if His members had not been indeed His Own, how had He said unto Saul, Acts ix. 4: Why persecutest thou Me? since Saul was not persecuting Him in Himself, but in His members, that is, in His faithful ones which were upon earth. He said not, Why persecutest thou My holy ones, nor, My servants, no, nor yet called He them by that more honourable name, My brethren, but, Why persecutest thou Me? that is, the members of My Body, whose Head I am.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Make not my soul to perish with sinners, O God, nor my life with bloody men.
* Redeem me, O Lord!
