Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum temporum}
Rex sempiterne Cælitum,
Rerum Creator ómnium,
Æqualis ante sæcula
Semper Parénti Fílius:
Nascénte qui mundo faber
Imaginem vultus tui
Tradens Adamo, nóbilem
Limo jugásti spíritum.
Cum livor et fraus dæmonis
Fœdasset humanum genus:
Tu, carne amíctus, perditam
Formam reformas artifex.
Qui, natus olim e Vírgine,
Nunc e sepúlcro nasceris,
Tecúmque nos a mórtuis
Jubes sepúltos surgere.
Qui, pastor æternus, gregem
Aqua lavas baptísmatis:
Hæc est lavacrum méntium:
Hæc est sepúlcrum criminum.
Nobis diu qui debitæ
Redémptor affixus cruci,
Nostræ dedísti prodigus
Pretium salútis sánguinem.
Ut sis perenne méntibus
Paschale, Jesu, gáudium,
A morte dira criminum
Vitæ renatos libera.
Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paraclito,
In sempiterna sæcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
O thou, the heavens' eternal King,
Creator, unto thee we sing,
With God the Father ever One,
Co-equal, co-eternal Son.
Thy hand, when first the world began,
Made in thine own pure image man,
And linked to Adam, sprung from earth,
A living soul of heavenly birth.
And when by craft the envious foe
Had marred thy noblest work below,
Clothed in our flesh, thou didst restore
The image thou hadst made before.
Once wast thou born of Mary's womb;
And now, new-born from out the tomb,
O Christ, thou bidd'st us rise with thee
From death to immortality.
Eternal Shepherd, thou dost lave
Thy flock in pure baptismal wave,
That mystic bath, that grave of sin,
Where ransomed souls new life begin.
Redeemer, thou for us didst deign
To hang upon the Cross of pain,
And give for us the lavish price
Of thine own blood in sacrifice.
Grant, Lord, in thee each faithful mind
Unceasing paschal joy may find;
And from the death of sin set free
Souls newly born to life by thee.
To thee, once dead, who now dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Ghost forevermore.
Amen.

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.

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.

22:3 Dedúxit me super sémitas justítiæ, * propter nomen suum.
22:4 Nam, et si ambulávero in médio umbræ mortis, non timébo mala: * quóniam tu mecum es.
22:5 Virga tua, et báculus tuus: * ipsa me consoláta sunt.
22:6 Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam, * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me.

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.
22:7 Thou hast anointed my head with oil; * and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
22:8 And thy mercy will follow me * all the days of my life.
22:9 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord * unto length of days.

13 And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power.
17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last,
18 And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell.

26:6 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prælium, * in hoc ego sperábo.

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.

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.

30:22 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.

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.

31:8 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.

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.

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 147. de Tempore.
Diebus his sanctis resurrectioni Domini dedicatis, quantum donante ipso possumus, de carnis resurrectione tractemus. Haec enim est fides nostra: hoc donum in Domini nostri Jesu Christi nobis carne promissum est, et in ipso praecessit exemplum. Voluit enim nobis, quod promisit in fine, non solum praenuntiare, sed etiam demonstrare. Illi quidem qui tunc fuerunt, cum illum viderent, et cum expavescerent, et spiritum se videre crederent, soliditatem corporis tenuerunt. Locutus est enim non solum verbis ad aures eorum, sed etiam specie ad oculos eorum: parumque erat se praebere cernendum, nisi etiam offerret pertractandum, atque palpandum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Sermon from Blessed Austin bishop (of Hyppo)
Sermo 147. de Tempore.
In these holy days of the Lord's resurrection, let us treat as far as we are able, of that gift of the resurrection of the body. For this is our faith, this gift is promised us in the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in him we have the first example. He willed, not only to tell us of our future hope, but to show it to us. He came to the disciples, and they were terrified when they saw him, and supposed that they seen a spirit, yet he gave them proof of the firmness of his body.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. One of the seven Angels talked with me, saying Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Ait enim: Quid turbati estis, et cogitationes ascendunt in cor vestrum? Putaverunt enim se spiritum videre. Quid turbati estis, inquit, et cogitationes ascendunt in cor vestrum? Videte manus meas, et pedes meos: palpate, et videte: quia spiritus ossa et carnem non habet, sicut me videtis habere. Contra istam evidentiam disputabant homines. Quid enim aliud facerent homines, qui ea, quae sunt hominum, sapiunt, quam sic disputare de Deo contra Deum? Ille enim Deus est, isti homines sunt. Sed Deus novit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanae sunt.

In homine carnali tota regula intelligendi est consuetudo cernendi. Quod solent videre, credunt: quod non solent, non credunt. Praeter consuetudinem facit Deus miracula, quia Deus est. Majora quidem miracula sunt, tot quotidie homines nasci, qui non erant, quam paucos resurrexisse, qui erant: et tamen ista miracula non consideratione comprehensa sunt, sed assiduitate viluerunt. Resurrexit Christus: absoluta est res. Corpus erat, caro erat: pependit in cruce, emisit animam, posita est caro in sepulcro. Exhibuit illam vivam, qui vivebat in illa. Quare miramur? quare non credimus? Deus est, qui fecit.

It is a greater miracle that so many men are born every day, who have not already existed, than that some of them, who do already exist, should rise from the dead, and yet this is not considered a miracle at all, but it is taken for granted. Christ is risen: it is a cetain fact. He was body; he was flesh; he hung on the cross; he gave up the ghost; his flesh was laid in the sepulchre. He who lived in it, showed that flesh to be living. Why are you amazed? Why do you not believe? It is God who has done this.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 16:16-22
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Modicum, et jam non videbitis me: et iterum modicum, et videbitis me quia vado ad Patrem. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tr 101 in Johann sub fine
Modicum est hoc totum spatium, quo praesens pervolat saeculum. Unde dicit idem ipse Evangelista in Epistola sua: Novissima hora est. Ideo namque addidit: Quia vado ad Patrem: quod ad priorem sententiam referendum est, ubi ait: Modicum, et jam non videbitis me: non ad posteriorem, ubi ait: Et iterum modicum, et videbitis me. Eundo quippe ad Patrem, facturus erat ut eum non viderent. Ac per hoc non ideo dictum est, quia fuerat moriturus, et donec resurgeret, ab eorum aspectibus recessurus: sed quod esset iturus ad Patrem, quod fecit posteaquam resurrexit, et, cum eis per quadraginta dies conversatus, ascendit in caelum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Decantabat populus Israël, alleluia: et universa multitudo Jacob canebat legitime:
* Et David cum cantoribus citharam percutiebat in domo Domini, et laudes Deo canebat, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et levitae: et universus Israël deducebat arcam foederis Domini in jubilo.
R. Et David cum cantoribus citharam percutiebat in domo Domini, et laudes Deo canebat, alleluia, alleluia.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.

From the holy Gospel according to John
John 16:16-22
At that time Jesus said to his disciples:16 A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
Tract 101 of John.)
This little while is the whole duration of this present world. In the same sense this same Evangelist saith in his Epistle ii. 18, It is the last time. The words, because I go to the Father, refer to the first clause of the text, namely, A little while and ye shall not see Me, and not to the latter clause, that is, and again a little while, and ye shall see Me. By His going to the Father He was about to bring it to pass that they should see Him no more. And thus it was that He said, not that He was about to die, and that after His death they should not see Him until He rose again, but that He was going to the Father, which He did when, after that He was risen again and had manifested Himself to them for forty days, He ascended up into heaven.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The people of Israel sung: Alleluia and all the multitude of Jacob sung in measure.
* And David [was with the singers, (and) played upon an harp in the house of the Lord, and sung praises unto God. Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. So the Priests and the Levites were sanctified, and all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting.
R. And David [was with the singers, (and) played upon an harp in the house of the Lord, and sung praises unto God. Alleluia, Alleluia.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Divinum auxilium maneat semper nobiscum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Quis ergo ait: Modicum, et jam non videbitis me; qui eum corporaliter tunc videbant: quia iturus erat ad Patrem, et eum deinceps mortalem visuri non erant, qualem, cum ista loqueretur, videbant. Quod vero addidit: Et iterum modicum, et videbitis me: universae promisit Ecclesiae, sicut universae promisit: Ecce ego vobiscum sum usque ad consummationem saeculi. Non tardat Dominus promissum. Modicum, et videbimus eum: ubi jam nihil rogemus, nihil interrogemus, quia nihil desiderandum remanebit, nihil quaerendum latebit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Tristitia vestra, alleluia,
* Convertetur in gaudium, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Mundus autem gaudebit, vos vero contristabimini: sed tristitia vestra.
R. Convertetur in gaudium, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Convertetur in gaudium, alleluia, alleluia.

Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. Amen.
Reading 8
But now, to them which were looking on Him in the Body, He saith, A little while, and ye shall not see Me, a little while, and they who now saw Him clad in a dying nature, should see Him so no more, because He was about to go to the Father. But He saith : And again a little while, and ye shall see Me, and these words are a promise to the Universal Church, just as are those others : Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world Matth. xxviii. 20. Our Lord delayeth not His promised coming. Again a little while, and we shall see Him. We shall see Him. And, 0, when we shall see Him, then we shall beg, we shall ask no more; for no desire will be unsatisfied, and no riddle unsolved.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Your sorrow, alleluia,
* Shall be turned into joy. Alleluia
V. The world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful: but your sorrow
R. Shall be turned into joy. alleluia
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Shall be turned into joy. alleluia

Lectio 9
Hoc modicum longum nobis videtur, quoniam adhuc agitur: cum finitum fuerit, tunc sentiemus quam modicum fuerit. Non ergo sit gaudium nostrum quale habet mundus, de quo dictum est: Mundus autem gaudebit. Nec tamen in hujus desiderii parturitione sine gaudio tristes simus: sed, sicut ait Apostolus: Spe gaudentes: In tribulatione patientes: quia et ipsa parturiens, cui comparati sumus, plus gaudet de mox futura prole, quam tristis est de praesenti dolore. Sed hujus sermonis iste sit finis: habent enim quaestionem molestissimam, quae sequuntur: nec brevitate coarctanda sunt, ut possint commodius, si Dominus voluerit, explicari.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Vidi Jerusalem descendentem de caelo, ornatam auro mundo, et lapidibus pretiosis intextam:
* Alleluia, alleluia.
V. Et erat structura muri ejus ex lapide jaspide; ipsa vero aurum mundum, simile vitro mundo.
R. Alleluia, alleluia
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Alleluia, alleluia

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 9
This little while seemeth a very long while to us now, while as it is still going on, but when it is over we shall feel indeed how truly it is but a little while. Therefore, may our rejoicing never be like the rejoicing of that world whereof it is said: The world shall rejoice. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, and yet, while hitherto our gladness is still coming to the birth through throes of sorrow, let us not be altogether sorrowful, but, as the Apostle hath it Rom. xii. 12 : Rejoicing in hope : patient in tribulation. A woman, when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come : but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And so will it be with us. And with that let me end my discourse. The next passage is one of extreme difficulty; nor is it possible to treat it briefly, if, (with the will of God,) it is to be treated satisfactorily.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I saw Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, adorned with pure gold, and garnished with precious stones.
* Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. The building of the wall of it was of jasper and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Sequentia Sancti Evangelii secundum Johannem
John 16:16-22
16:16 Modicum, et jam non videbitis me; et iterum modicum, et videbitis me: quia vado ad Patrem.
16:17 Dixerunt ergo ex discipulis ejus ad invicem: Quid est hoc quod dicit nobis: Modicum, et non videbitis me; et iterum modicum, et videbitis me, et quia vado ad Patrem?
16:18 Dicebant ergo: Quid est hoc quod dicit: Modicum? nescimus quid loquitur.
16:19 Cognovit autem Jesus, quia volebant eum interrogare, et dixit eis: De hoc quaeritis inter vos quia dixi: Modicum, et non videbitis me; et iterum modicum, et videbitis me.
16:20 Amen, amen dico vobis: quia plorabitis, et flebitis vos, mundus autem gaudebit; vos autem contristabimini, sed tristitia vestra vertetur in gaudium.
16:21 Mulier cum parit, tristitiam habet, quia venit hora ejus; cum autem pepererit puerum, jam non meminit pressurae propter gaudium, quia natus est homo in mundum.
16:22 Et vos igitur nunc quidem tristitiam habetis, iterum autem videbo vos, et gaudebit cor vestrum: et gaudium vestrum nemo tollet a vobis.
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 16:16-22
16:16 A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
16:17 Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?
16:18 They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
16:19 And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?
16:20 Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
16:21 A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
16:22 So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
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.
