Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iste Confessor Dómini coléntes,
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus meruit supremos
Laudis honores.
Qui pius, prudens, humilis, pudicus,
Sobriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humanos animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans meritum, frequenter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuere membra,
Viribus morbi domitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequentem
Concinit laudem celebresque palmas,
Ut piis ejus precibus juvemur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli solio coruscans,
Totius mundi seriem gubernat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
On this feast day year by year receiveth
Merited honors.
Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life's vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.
His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth's mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

Psalmus 101 [5]
101:1 Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam: * et clamor meus ad te véniat.
101:2 Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * in quacúmque die tríbulor, inclína ad me aurem tuam.
101:3 In quacúmque die invocávero te, * velóciter exáudi me.
101:4 Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei: * et ossa mea sicut crémium aruérunt.
101:5 Percússus sum ut foenum, et áruit cor meum: * quia oblítus sum comédere panem meum.
101:6 A voce gémitus mei * adhæsit os meum carni meæ.
101:7 Símilis factus sum pellicáno solitúdinis: * factus sum sicut nyctícorax in domicílio.
101:8 Vigilávi, * et factus sum sicut passer solitárius in tecto.
101:9 Tota die exprobrábant mihi inimíci mei: * et qui laudábant me, advérsum me jurábant.
101:10 Quia cínerem tamquam panem manducábam, * et potum meum cum fletu miscébam.
101:11 A fácie iræ et indignatiónis tuæ: * quia élevans allisísti me.
101:12 Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt: * et ego sicut foenum árui.
101:13 Tu autem, Dómine, in ætérnum pérmanes: * et memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
101:14 Tu exsúrgens miseréberis Sion: * quia tempus miseréndi ejus, quia venit tempus.
101:15 Quóniam placuérunt servis tuis lápides ejus: * et terræ ejus miserebúntur.
101:16 Et timébunt gentes nomen tuum, Dómine, * et omnes reges terræ glóriam tuam.
101:17 Quia ædificávit Dóminus Sion: * et vidébitur in glória sua.
101:18 Respéxit in oratiónem humílium: * et non sprevit precem eórum.
101:19 Scribántur hæc in generatióne áltera: * et pópulus, qui creábitur, laudábit Dóminum:
101:20 Quia prospéxit de excélso sancto suo: * Dóminus de cælo in terram aspéxit:
101:21 Ut audíret gémitus compeditórum: * ut sólveret fílios interemptórum:
101:22 Ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini: * et laudem ejus in Jerúsalem.
101:23 In conveniéndo pópulos in unum, * et reges ut sérviant Dómino.
101:24 Respóndit ei in via virtútis suæ: * Paucitátem diérum meórum núntia mihi.
101:25 Ne révoces me in dimídio diérum meórum: * in generatiónem et generatiónem anni tui.
101:26 Inítio tu, Dómine, terram fundásti: * et ópera mánuum tuárum sunt cæli.
101:27 Ipsi períbunt, tu autem pérmanes: * et omnes sicut vestiméntum veteráscent.
101:28 Et sicut opertórium mutábis eos, et mutabúntur: * tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non defícient.
101:29 Fílii servórum tuórum habitábunt: * et semen eórum in sæculum dirigétur.

Nocturn II.
Psalm 101 [5]
101:1 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: * and let my cry come to thee.
101:2 Turn not away thy face from me: * in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me.
101:3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * hear me speedily.
101:4 For my days are vanished like smoke: * and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
101:5 I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: * because I forgot to eat my bread.
101:6 Through the voice of my groaning, * my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
101:7 I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: * I am like a night raven in the house.
101:8 I have watched, * and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
101:9 All the day long my enemies reproached me: * and they that praised me did swear against me.
101:10 For I did eat ashes like bread, * and mingled my drink with weeping.
101:11 Because of thy anger and indignation: * for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
101:12 My days have declined like a shadow, * and I am withered like grass.
101:13 But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: * and thy memorial to all generations.
101:14 Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: * for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
101:15 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: * and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
101:16 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, * and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
101:17 For the Lord hath built up Sion: * and he shall be seen in his glory.
101:18 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: * and he hath not despised their petition.
101:19 Let these things be written unto another generation: * and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
101:20 Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: * from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
101:21 That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: * that he might release the children of the slain:
101:22 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: * and his praise in Jerusalem;
101:23 When the people assemble together, * and kings, to serve the Lord.
101:24 He answered him in the way of his strength: * Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
101:25 Call me not away in the midst of my days: * thy years are unto generation and generation.
101:26 In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: * and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
101:27 They shall perish but thou remainest: * and all of them shall grow old like a garment:
101:28 And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. * But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
101:29 The children of thy servants shall continue: * and their seed shall be directed 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.

Psalm 103 [7]
103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: * O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great.
103:2 Thou hast put on praise and beauty: * and art clothed with light as with a garment.
103:3 Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: * who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water.
103:4 Who makest the clouds thy chariot: * who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
103:5 Who makest thy angels spirits: * and thy ministers a burning fire.
103:6 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: * it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
103:7 The deep like a garment is its clothing: * above the mountains shall the waters stand.
103:8 At thy rebuke they shall flee: * at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
103:9 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend * into the place which thou hast founded for them.
103:10 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
103:11 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: * between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
103:12 All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
103:12 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
103:13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: * the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
103:14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men.
103:15 That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: * and that wine may cheer the heart of man.
103:16 That he may make the face cheerful with oil: * and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
103:17 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: * there the sparrows shall make their nests.
103:18 The highest of them is the house of the heron. * The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
103:19 He hath made the moon for seasons: * the sun knoweth his going down.
103:20 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: * in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
103:21 The young lions roaring after their prey, * and seeking their meat from God.
103:22 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
103:23 Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
103:24 How great are thy works, O Lord? * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
103:25 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: * there are creeping things without number:
103:26 Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
103:27 This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
103:28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
103:29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
103:30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
103:31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
103:32 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: * he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
103:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: * I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
103:34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
103:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: * O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

104:12 Cum essent número brevi, * paucíssimi et íncolæ ejus:
104:13 Et pertransiérunt de gente in gentem, * et de regno ad pópulum álterum.

104:15 Nolíte tángere christos meos: * et in prophétis meis nolíte malignári.

104:18 Humiliavérunt in compédibus pedes ejus, ferrum pertránsiit ánimam ejus * donec veníret verbum ejus.
104:19 Elóquium Dómini inflammávit eum: * misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populórum, et dimísit eum.
104:20 Constítuit eum dóminum domus suæ: * et príncipem omnis possessiónis suæ:
104:21 Ut erudíret príncipes ejus sicut semetípsum: * et senes ejus prudéntiam docéret.
104:22 Et intrávit Israël in Ægýptum: * et Jacob áccola fuit in terra Cham.
104:23 Et auxit pópulum suum veheménter: * et firmávit eum super inimícos ejus.
104:24 Convértit cor eórum ut odírent pópulum ejus: * et dolum fácerent in servos ejus.
104:25 Misit Móysen, servum suum: * Aaron, quem elégit ipsum.
104:26 Pósuit in eis verba signórum suórum: * et prodigiórum in terra Cham.
104:28 Misit ténebras, et obscurávit: * et non exacerbávit sermónes suos.
104:29 Convértit aquas eórum in sánguinem: * et occídit pisces eórum.

104:37 Et edúxit eos cum argénto et auro: * et non erat in tríbubus eórum infírmus.
104:38 Lætáta est Ægýptus in profectióne eórum: * quia incúbuit timor eórum super eos.
104:39 Expándit nubem in protectiónem eórum: * et ignem ut lucéret eis per noctem.

Psalm 104 [8]

104:2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: * relate all his wondrous works.
104:3 Glory ye in his holy name: * let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
104:4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: * seek his face evermore.
104:5 Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; * his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
104:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant; * ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
104:7 He is the Lord our God: * his judgments are in all the earth.
104:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: * the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
104:9 Which he made to Abraham; * and his oath to Isaac:
104:10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, * and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
104:11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, * the lot of your inheritance.
104:12 When they were but a small number: * yea very few, and sojourners therein:
104:13 And they passed from nation to nation, * and from one kingdom to another people.
104:14 He suffered no man to hurt them: * and he reproved kings for their sakes.
104:15 Touch ye not my anointed: * and do no evil to my prophets.
104:16 And he called a famine upon the land: * and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
104:17 He sent a man before them: * Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
104:18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, * until his word came.
104:19 The word of the Lord inflamed him: * the king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
104:20 He made him master of his house, * and ruler of all his possession.
104:21 That he might instruct his princes as himself, * and teach his ancients wisdom.
104:22 And Israel went into Egypt: * and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
104:23 And he increased his people exceedingly: * and strengthened them over their enemies,
104:24 He turned their heart to hate his people: * and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
104:25 He sent Moses his servant: * Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
104:26 He gave them power to shew his signs, * and his wonders in the land of Cham.
104:28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: * and grieved not his words.
104:29 He turned their waters into blood, * and destroyed their fish.
104:30 Their land brought forth frogs, * in the inner chambers of their kings.
104:31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, * and sciniphs in all their coasts.
104:32 He gave them hail for rain, * a burning fire in the land.
104:33 And he destroyed their vineyards, and their fig trees: * and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
104:34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, * of which there was no number.
104:35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, * and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
104:36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: * the firstfruits of all their labour.
104:37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: * and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.
104:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: * for the fear of them lay upon them.
104:39 He spread a cloud for their protection, * and fire to give them light in the night.
104:40 They asked, and the quail came: * and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
104:41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: * rivers ran down in the dry land.
104:42 Because he remembered his holy word, * which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
104:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, * and his chosen with gladness.
104:44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: * and they possessed the labours of the people:
104:45 That they might observe his justifications, * and seek after his law.
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.

V. Dómine exáudi oratiónem meam.
R. Et clamor meus ad te véniat.

V. Hear my prayer, O Lord.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

Paulus a Cruce Uvadae in Liguria natus, sed e Castellatio prope Alexandriam Statiellorum nobili genere oriundus, qua futurus esset sanctitate clarus, innotuit miro splendore, qui noctu implevit parientis matris cubiculum, et insigni augustae caeli Reginae beneficio, quae puerum in flumen delapsum a certo naufragio illaesum eripuit. A primo rationis usu Jesu Christi crucifixi amore flagrans,. ejus contemplationi prolixius vacare coepit, et carnem innocentissimam vigiliis, flagellis, jejuniis, potu in sexta feria ex aceto cum felle mixto, ac dura quavis castigatione conterere. Martyrii desiderio incensus, exercitui se adjunxit, qui Venetiis, ad bellum Turcis inferendum, comparabatur; cognita vero inter orandum Dei voluntate, arma ultro reddidit, praestantiori militiae operam daturus, quae Ecclesiae praesidio esse, aeternamque hominum salutem procurare totis viribus niteretur. Reversus in patriam, honestissimis nuptiis, sibique delata patrui hereditate, recusatis, arctiorem inire crucis semitam, ac rudi tunica a suo episcopo indui voluit. Tum ejus jussu, ob eminentem vitae sanctimoniam et rerum divinarum scientiam, nondum clericus, Dominicum agrum, maximo cum animarum fructu, divini verbi praedicatione excoluit.

Reading 4
Paul of the Cross was sprung of a noble family of the Danei, at Castellazzo, hard by Alessandria, in the Province of Acqui, in the territory of the then Republic of Genoa, but was born at Ovada, in the same province. The holiness with which he was afterwards to shine was foreshown by a strange light which filled his mother's chamber while she was in labour, and by the remarkable help which was bestowed upon him by the great Queen of Heaven, who delivered him unhurt from certain destruction when he was fallen into a river as a lad. From the first use of reason he burnt with love for Jesus crucified, and began to spend long times in contemplating Him. He chastised his innocent flesh with watching, scourging, fasting, and all severe hardships, and on Friday he drank vinegar mingled with gall. He was seized with a desire for martyrdom, and enlisted in the army which was being raised at Venice to fight against the Turks but in consequence of the Will of God, made known to him while he was in prayer, he left the army in order to serve in a more exalted regiment whose duty it should be to defend the Church and to toil for the eternal salvation of men. When he returned home he refused a very honourable marriage, and also the inheritance which was bequeathed to him by his father's brother, and would fain enter upon a straiter way of the cross and be clad by his own Bishop with a rough tunic. By command of the Bishop, on account of his eminent holiness of life and knowledge of the things of God, he began, even before he became a clerk, to toil in the Lord's field with great profit of souls by preaching the Word.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord made him honourable, and defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait for him
* And gave him perpetual glory. Alleluia
V. He went down with him into the pit, and left him not in bonds.
R. And gave him perpetual glory. Alleluia

Romam profectus, theologicis disciplinis rite imbutus a summo Pontifice Benedicto decimo tertio ex obedientia sacerdotio auctus est. Facta sibi ab eodem potestate aggregandi socios, in solitudinem recessit Argentarii montis, quo eum beata Virgo jampridem invitaverat, veste illi simul ostensa atri coloris, passionis Filii sui insignibus decorata, ibique fundamenta jecit novae congregationis. Quae brevi, plurimis ab eo toleratis laboribus, praeclaris aucta viris cum Dei benedictione valde succrevit; a Sede apostolica non semel confirmata, una cum regulis, quas orando ipse a Deo acceperat, et quarto addito voto, pergratam Dominicae passionis memoriam promovendi. Sacras virgines quoque instituit, quae excessum caritatis divini Sponsi sedulo meditarentur. Haec inter, animarum inexhausta aviditate ab Evangelii praedicatione numquam deficiens, homines pene innumeros, etiam perditissimos, aut in haeresim lapsos, in salutis tramitem adduxit. Praesertim Christi enarranda passione mirifica ejus orationis vis erat, qua una cum astantibus in fletum effusus, quaelibet obdurata corda ad poenitentiam scindebat.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 5
He betook himself to Rome, and when he had there studied a regular course of theology he was ordained Priest in obedience to the command of the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XIII., who also gave him permission to gather comrades around him. He withdrew to the solitude of Mount Argentaro, whither he had been already called by the Blessed Virgin, at which same time she also showed him in vision a black habit marked with the emblems of the sufferings of her Son. At Mount Argentaro, he laid the foundations of his new Congregation, which under the blessing of God grew quickly, through the labours of Paul, and attracted to it eminent men. It received the confirmation of the Apostolic See more than once, with the rules which Paul himself had received from God in prayer and the addition of a fourth vow, that, namely, to promote the blessed remembrance of the sufferings of the Lord. He founded a congregation of holy virgins also, who should dwell constantly upon the overflowing love of the Divine Bridegroom. Amid all these works his untiring love for souls caused him never to weary in the preaching of the Gospel, and he led into the path of salvation men almost countless, among whom were some of the most lost, or those who had fallen into heresy. The greatest and most wonderful power of his preaching was how he told of the sufferings of Christ, so that he himself and his hearers would alike burst into tears, and hardened hearts were cloven by repentance.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord loved him and beautified him He Clothed him with a robe of glory
* And crowned him at the gates of Paradise. Alleluia

Tanta in ejus pectore alebatur divinae caritatis flamma, ut indusium quod erat cordi propius, saepe veluti igne adustum, et binae costulae elatae apparuerint. Sacrum praesertim faciens non poterat a lacrimis temperare: frequenti quoque extasi cum mira interdum corporis elevatione frui, vultuque superna luce radiante conspiciebatur. Quandoque, dum concionaretur, caelestis vox verba ei suggerentis audita fuit, aut sermo ejus ad plura millia passuum intonuit. Prophetiae et linguarum dono, cordium scrutatione, potestate in daemones, in morbos, in elementa enituit. Cumque ipsis summis Pontificibus carus ac venerandus esset, servum inutilem, peccatorem nequissimum, a daemoniis quoque conculcandum se judicabat Tandem, asperrimi vitae generis ad longam usque senectutem tenacissimus, anno millesimo septingentesimo septuagesimo quinto, cum praeclara monita, veluti sui spiritus transmissa hereditate, alumnis tradidisset, Ecclesiae sacramentis ac caelesti visione recreatus, Romae, qua praedixerat die, migravit in caelum.

Reading 6
The fire of the love of God burnt so in his heart that the part of his under-garment which was next thereto often presented the appearance of having been scorched, and two of his ribs seemed to be raised. He could not withhold his tears, more especially when he was saying Mass, and when he was in a state of trance, as oftentimes befell, his body was sometimes seen to be raised into the air, and his face to shine as with light from heaven. Sometimes when he was preaching a heavenly voice was heard prompting him, or his words became audible at the distance of several miles. He was eminent for the gifts of prophecy, of speaking with tongues, of reading the heart, and of power over evil spirits, over diseases, and over the inanimate elements of nature. The Supreme Pontiffs themselves regarded him as dear and venerable, but he held himself to be but an unprofitable servant, and a sinful wretch upon whom devils might well trample. He held to the bitter hardships of his life, even unto a great age, and passed to heaven from Rome, (upon the 18th day of October,) being the day which he had himself foretold, in the year 1775, after he had addressed to his disciples noble exhortations which are as the heritage of his spirit, and had been comforted by the sacraments of the Church, and by an heavenly vision. The Supreme Pontiff Pius IX. numbered his name among those of the blessed, and then, after renewed signs and wonders, among those of the Saints.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. This is he which did according unto all that God commanded him and God said unto him Enter thou into My rest
* For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people. Alleluia
V. This is he which loved not his life in this world, and is come unto an everlasting kingdom.
R. For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people. Alleluia
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people. Alleluia

Psalmus 105 [9]
105:1 Confitémini Dómino, quóniam bonus: * quóniam in sæculum misericórdia ejus.
105:2 Quis loquétur poténtias Dómini, * audítas fáciet omnes laudes ejus?
105:3 Beáti, qui custódiunt judícium, * et fáciunt justítiam in omni témpore.
105:4 Meménto nostri, Dómine, in beneplácito pópuli tui: * vísita nos in salutári tuo:
105:5 Ad vidéndum in bonitáte electórum tuórum, ad lætándum in lætítia gentis tuæ: * ut laudéris cum hereditáte tua.
105:6 Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris: * injúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus.
105:7 Patres nostri in Ægýpto non intellexérunt mirabília tua: * non fuérunt mémores multitúdinis misericórdiæ tuæ.
105:8 Et irritavérunt ascendéntes in mare, * Mare Rubrum.
105:9 Et salvávit eos propter nomen suum: * ut notam fáceret poténtiam suam.
105:10 Et incrépuit Mare Rubrum, et exsiccátum est, * et dedúxit eos in abýssis sicut in desérto.
105:11 Et salvávit eos de manu odiéntium: * et redémit eos de manu inimíci.
105:12 Et opéruit aqua tribulántes eos: * unus ex eis non remánsit.
105:13 Et credidérunt verbis ejus: * et laudavérunt laudem ejus.
105:14 Cito fecérunt, oblíti sunt óperum ejus: * et non sustinuérunt consílium ejus.
105:15 Et concupiérunt concupiscéntiam in desérto: * et tentavérunt Deum in inaquóso.
105:15 Et dedit eis petitiónem ipsórum: * et misit saturitátem in ánimas eórum.
105:16 Et irritavérunt Moysen in castris: * Aaron, sanctum Dómini.
105:17 Apérta est terra, et deglutívit Dathan: * et opéruit super congregatiónem Abíron.
105:18 Et exársit ignis in synagóga eorum * flamma combússit peccatóres.
105:19 Et fecérunt vítulum in Horeb * et adoravérunt scúlptile.
105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis foenum.
105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:22 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus ejus, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu ejus:
105:23 Ut avérteret iram ejus ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:24 Non credidérunt verbo ejus, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:25 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:

105:27 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.
105:28 Et irritavérunt eum in adinventiónibus suis: * et multiplicáta est in eis ruína.
105:28 Et stetit Phínees, et placávit: * et cessávit quassátio.
105:28 Et reputátum est ei in justítiam: * in generatiónem et generatiónem usque in sempitérnum.
105:29 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum ejus.
105:30 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt Gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:31 Et commísti sunt inter Gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:32 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et filias suas dæmóniis.
105:33 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:34 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:35 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.

105:41 Et dedit eos in misericórdias * in conspéctu ómnium qui céperant eos.
105:42 Salvos nos fac, Dómine, Deus noster: * et cóngrega nos de natiónibus:
105:43 Ut confiteámur nómini sancto tuo: * et gloriémur in laude tua.
105:44 Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israël, a sæculo et usque in sæculum: * et dicet omnis pópulus: Fiat, fiat.

Psalm 105 [9]
105:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
105:2 Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? * who shall set forth all his praises?
105:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, * and do justice at all times.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: * visit us with thy salvation.
105:5 That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: * that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
105:6 We have sinned with our fathers: * we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
105:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: * they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies:
105:8 And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, * even the Red Sea.
105:9 And he saved them for his own name's sake: * that he might make his power known.
105:10 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
105:11 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
105:12 And the water covered them that afflicted them: * there was not one of them left.
105:13 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises.
105:14 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels.
105:15 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water.
105:15 And he gave them their request: * and sent fulness into their souls.
105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, * Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: * and covered the congregation of Abiron.
105:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation: * the flame burned the wicked.
105:19 They made also a calf in Horeb: * and they adored the graven thing.
105:20 And they changed their glory * into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
105:21 They forgot God, who saved them, * who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
105:22 And he said that he would destroy them: * had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach:
105:23 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land.
105:24 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
105:25 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert;
105:26 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries.
105:27 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
105:28 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and destruction was multiplied among them.
105:28 Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: * and the slaughter ceased.
105:28 And it was reputed to him unto justice, * to generation and generation for evermore.
105:29 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit.
105:30 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
105:31 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them.
105:32 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils.
105:33 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.
105:34 And the land was polluted with blood, and was defiled with their works: * and they went aside after their own inventions.
105:35 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance.
105:36 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: * and they that hated them had dominion over them.
105:37 And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: * many times did he deliver them.
105:38 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities.
105:39 And he saw when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer.
105:40 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
105:41 And he gave them unto mercies, * in the sight of all those that had made them
105:42 Save us, O Lord, our God: * and gather us from among nations:
105:43 That we may give thanks to thy holy name, * and may glory in thy praise.
105:44 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: * and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
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.

106:17 Suscépit eos de via iniquitátis eórum: * propter injustítias enim suas humiliáti sunt.
106:18 Omnem escam abomináta est ánima eórum: * et appropinquavérunt usque ad portas mortis.
106:19 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.

106:21 Confiteántur Dómino misericórdiæ ejus: * et mirabília ejus fíliis hóminum.
106:22 Et sacríficent sacrifícium laudis: * et annúntient ópera ejus in exsultatióne.

Psalm 106 [10]
106:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:2 Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: * and gathered out of the countries.
106:3 From the rising and the setting of the sun, * from the north and from the sea.
106:4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: * they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
106:5 They were hungry and thirsty: * their soul fainted in them.
106:6 And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:7 And he led them into the right way: * that they might go to a city of habitation.
106:8 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:9 For he hath satisfied the empty soul, * and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
106:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * bound in want and in iron.
106:11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: * and provoked the counsel of the most High:
106:12 And their heart was humbled with labours: * they were weakened, and there was none to help them.
106:13 Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:14 And he brought them out of darkness, * and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
106:15 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:16 Because he hath broken gates of brass, * and burst the iron bars.
106:17 He took them out of the way of their iniquity: * for they were brought low for their injustices.
106:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: * and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
106:19 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:20 He sent his word, and healed them: * and delivered them from their destructions.
106:21 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men
106:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: * and declare his works with joy.
106:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, * doing business in the great waters:
106:24 These have seen the works of the Lord, * and his wonders in the deep.
106:25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: * and the waves thereof were lifted up.
106:26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: * their soul pined away with evils.
106:27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; * and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
106:28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he brought them out of their distresses.
106:29 And he turned the storm into a breeze: * and its waves were still.
106:30 And they rejoiced because they were still: * and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
106:31 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:32 And let them exalt him in the church of the people: * and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
106:33 He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: * and the sources of water into dry ground:
106:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, * for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
106:35 He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, * and a dry land into water springs.
106:36 And hath placed there the hungry; * and they made a city for their habitation.
106:37 And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: * and they yielded fruit of birth.
106:38 And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: * and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
106:39 Then they were brought to be few: * and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
106:40 Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: *and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
106:41 And he helped the poor out of poverty: * and made him families like a flock of sheep.
106:42 The just shall see, and shall rejoice, * and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
106:43 Who is wise, and will keep these things: * and will understand the mercies of 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 108 [12]

108:2 Locúti sunt advérsum me lingua dolósa, et sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me: * et expugnavérunt me gratis.
108:3 Pro eo ut me dilígerent, detrahébant mihi: * ego autem orábam.
108:4 Et posuérunt advérsum me mala pro bonis: * et ódium pro dilectióne mea.
108:5 Constítue super eum peccatórem: * et diábolus stet a dextris ejus.

108:8 Fiant fílii ejus órphani: * et uxor ejus vídua.
108:9 Nutántes transferántur fílii ejus, et mendícent: * et ejiciántur de habitatiónibus suis.

Psalm 108 [12]
108:1 God, be not thou silent in my praise: * for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
108:2 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; * and have fought against me without cause.
108:3 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer.
108:4 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love.
108:5 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand.
108:6 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin.
108:7 May his days be few: * and his bishopric let another take.
108:8 May his children be fatherless, * and his wife a widow.
108:9 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; * and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
108:10 May the usurer search all his substance: * and let strangers plunder his labours.
108:11 May there be none to help him: * nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
108:12 May his posterity be cut off; * in one generation may his name be blotted out.
108:14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: * and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
108:15 May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: * because he remembered not to shew mercy,
108:16 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; * and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
108:17 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: * and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him.
108:18 And he put on cursing, like a garment: * and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
108:19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; * and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
108:20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; * and who speak evils against my soul.
108:20 But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: * because thy mercy is sweet.
108:21 Do thou deliver me, for I am poor and needy, * and my heart is troubled within me.
108:22 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: * and I am shaken off as locusts.
108:23 My knees are weakened through fasting: * and my flesh is changed for oil.
108:24 And I am become a reproach to them: * they saw me and they shaked their heads.
108:25 Help me, O Lord my God; * save me according to thy mercy.
108:26 And let them know that this is thy hand: * and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
108:27 They will curse and thou wilt bless: * let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
108:28 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: * and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.
108:29 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: * and in the midst of many I will praise him.
108:30 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, * to save my soul from persecutors.

Homily the 17th on the Gospels.
Dearly beloved brethren, our Lord and Saviour doth sometimes admonish us by words, and sometimes by works. Yea, His very works do themselves teach us for that which He doth silently His example still moveth us to copy. Behold how He sendeth forth His disciples to preach by two and two since there are two commandments to love, that is, a commandment to love God, and a commandment to love our neighbour and where there are not two, the one, being alone, hath not whereon to do the Lord's commandment. And no man can properly be said to love himself: for love tendeth outward toward our neighbour, if it be the love whereto the Gospel doth oblige us.

Commemoratio S. Vitale Martyre.
Vitalis miles, sanctorum Gervasii et Protasii pater, una cum Paulino judice Ravennam ingressus, cum vidisset Ursicinum medicum ob christianae fidei confessionem ductum ad supplicium, paululum in tormentis titubare, exclamavit: Ursicine medice, qui alios curare solitus es, cave ne te mortis aeternae jaculo conficias. Qua voce confirmatus Ursicinus, martyrium fortiter subivit. Quare Paulinus incensus Vitalem comprehendi jubet, et equuleo tortum, atque in profundam foveam demersum, lapidibus obrui. Quo facto quidam Apollinis sacerdos, qui Paulinum in Vitalem incitarat, oppressus a daemone, clamare coepit: Tu me nimium Vitalis Christi Martyr incendis: et illo aestu jactatus, se praecipitavit in flumen.

Commemoratio of S. Vitalis Martyr.
Vitalis was a soldier, and the father of the holy Martyrs Gervase and Protase. He went to Ravenna with Paulinus the judge, and there saw the physician Ursicinus led out to die, because he owned to being a believer in Christ. As the torments went on, Ursicinus seemed to waver a little, and Vitalis cried out to him, Ursicinus! as a physician thou hast been used to heal other men's bodies, take heed lest thou let thine own soul die eternally. These words encouraged Ursicinus, and he endured bravely in his testimony even unto the end but Paulinus was filled with fury, and caused Vitalis to be seized, tormented on the rack, and finally thrown into a pit and buried under an heap of stones. When it was over, a certain priest of Apollo, who had urged on Paulinus against Vitalis, was seized by the devil, and began to cry out, Vitalis Vitalis thou art Christ's Martyr, but thou makest me to burn thou makest me to burn until in that phrenzy he threw himself into the river.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
