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.

Jas 1:1-6
1 James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

6 For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
11 For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways

Jas 1:12-16
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren

26:5 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
26:6 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prælium, * in hoc ego sperábo.

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.

26:6 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.

26:10 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.

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.

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.

30:19 Erubéscant ímpii, et deducántur in inférnum: * muta fiant lábia dolósa.
30:19 Quæ loquúntur advérsus justum iniquitátem: * in supérbia, et in abusióne.

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.

31:3 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.

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.
31:13 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.

Ex Tractatu S. Cypriani Episcopi et Martyris de bono patientiae.
Sermone 3. initio.
De patientia locuturus, fratres dilectissimi, et utilitates ejus et commoda praedicaturus, unde potius incipiam, quam quod nunc quoque ad audientiam, vestram patientiam video esse necessariam: ut nec hoc ipsum, quod auditis et discitis, sine patientia facere possitis? Tunc enim demum sermo et ratio salutaris efficaciter discitur, si patienter, quod dicitur, audiatur. Nec invenio, fratres dilectissimi, inter ceteras caelestis disciplinae vias, quibus ad consequenda divinitus praemia spei ac fidei nostrae secta dirigitur, quid magis sit vel utilius ad vitam, vel majus ad gloriam, quam ut qui praeceptis Dominicis obsequio timoris ac devotionis innitimur, patientiam maxime tota observatione tueamur. Hanc se sectari philosophi quoque profitentur: sed tam illic patientia falsa est, quam et falsa sapientia est. Unde enim vel sapiens esse, vel patiens possit, qui nec sapientiam, nec patientiam Dei novit?

Reading 4
From the exposition of S. Cyprian Bishop and Martyr on the good of patience.
Sermone 3. initio.
In speaking of patience, beloved brethren, and in preaching on its benefits and advantages, how can I better begin than by pointing out the fact that now, just for you to listen to me, I see that patience is necessary, as you could not even do this, namely, listen and learn, without patience. For only then is the word of God and way of salvation
effectively learned, if one listens with patience to what is being said. Dearly beloved brethren, there are divers paths of heavenly wisdom, wherein we are invited to walk, if we would reach in the end the reward which God hath prepared to crown hope and faith but I find no path more useful to life - ward, nor more sure to glory -ward than this, that while we humbly strive, in all fear, and in all godliness, to obey the commandments of the Lord, we should set our chiefest guard in an unceasing watch over our patience. The philosophers also say that they take this path, but their patience is as much a sham as their wisdom is a cheat, for who can be wise or patient who knoweth nothing of God's wisdom or God's patience are the lives of servers and worshippers of God. Let it be ours, then, to show forth by spiritual watchfulness that patience which is a part of the teaching which we have learnt from heaven. Patience is one of His Own virtues whereof God hath made us partakers with Him our Great Head is the Captain of the patient, and it is through patience that He hath crowned Himself with glory and honour.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Bless ye God in the congregations Alleluia.
* Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountains of Israel Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. Sing forth the honour of His Name, make His praise glorious.
R. Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountains of Israel Alleluia, Alleluia.

Lectio 5
Nos autem, fratres dilectissimi, qui philosophi non verbis, sed factis sumus; nec vestitu sapientiam, sed veritate praeferimus: qui virtutum conscientiam magis quam jactantiam novimus: qui non loquimur magna, sed vivimus quasi servi et cultores Dei: patientiam, quam magisterus caelestibus discimus, obsequiis spiritalibus praebeamus. Est enim nobis cum Deo virtus ista communis: inde patientia incipit, inde claritas ejus et dignitas caput sumit. Origo et magnitudo patientiae Deo auctore procedit. Diligenda res homini, quae Deo cara est. Bonum quod amat, majestas divina commendat. Si Dominus nobis et Pater Deus est, sectemur patientiam domini pariter et patris: quia et servos oportet esse obsequentes, et filios non decet esse degeneres.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 5
But as for us, dearly beloved brethren, we are the real philosophers, whose wisdom lieth not in words but in deeds, and is manifested not in dresses but in the truth. We are they whose knowledge hath the inward consciousness, not the idle boasting, of strength. We are not speakers of high-sounding words, but our lives. Yea, God is Himself the Source, the Fountain, and the Greatness of patience, and it behoveth man to love what is beloved of God. That good thing which he loveth is commended unto him of God's Majesty. If God be our Lord and Father, let us follow after the ensample of our Lord and Father's patience, since it is the duty of servants to be obedient, and of sons to be home-minded.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. With my whole heart Alleluia have I sought thee Alleluia.

Lectio 6
Patientia est, quae nos Deo et commendat et servat: ipsa est, quae iram temperat, quae linguam fraenat, quae mentem gubernat, pacem custodit, disciplinam regit, libidinis impetum frangit, tumoris violentiam comprimit, incendium simultatis exstinguit, coercet potentiam divitum, inopiam pauperum refovet, tuetur in virginibus beatam integritatem, in viduis laboriosam castitatem, in conjunctis et maritatis individuam caritatem: facit humiles in prosperis, in adversis fortes, contra injurias et contumelias mites: docet delinquentibus cito ignoscere; si ipse delinquas, diu et multum rogare: tentationes expugnat, persecutiones tolerat, passiones et martyria consummat Ipsa est, quae fidei nostrae fundamenta firmiter munit.

Reading 6
By our patience God draweth us toward Himself, and keepeth us His Own. Patience doth soothe anger, bridle the tongue, govern the mind, keep peace, set rules of self-control, break the onset of lust, still the swelling of temper, put out the fire begotten of hatred, make the rich meek, and relieve the need of the poor patience doth guard in virgins their blessed wholeness in widows, their careful purity in such as be married, their single-hearted love one toward the other. Patience doth teach such as be successful to be lowly-minded such as be unfortunate, to be brave and all to be gentle when they are wronged and insulted. Patience maketh a man soon to forgive them that trespass against him, and if he have trespassed against any, long and humbly to ask his pardon. Patience doth fight down temptations, bear persecution, and endure unto the end in suffering, and in uplifting of our testimony. Patience is the moat that guardeth the stout foundations of the castle of our faith.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.

63:2 Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?
63:3 Torcular calcavi solus, et de gentibus non est vir mecum; calcavi eos in furore meo, et conculcavi eos in ira mea: et aspersus est sanguis eorum super vestimenta mea, et omnia indumenta mea inquinavi.
63:4 Dies enim ultionis in corde meo; annus redemptionis meae venit.

63:2 Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel.
63:4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.
63:5 I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.

4 What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? what shall I do to thee, O Juda? your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth away in the morning.

Cum Dominus Jesus praedixisset discipulis suis persecutiones, quas passuri erant post ejus abscessum, subjunxit atque ait: Haec autem vobis ab initio non dixi, quia vobiscum eram: nunc autem vado ad eum, qui me misit. Ubi primum videndum est, utrum eis futuras non praedixerit ante passiones, Sed alii tres Evangelistae satis eum praedixisse ista demonstrant, antequam ventum esset ad cenam: qua peracta, secundum Joannem ista locutus est, ubi ait: Haec autem vobis ab initio non dixi, quia vobiscum eram.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Deus canticum novum cantabo tibi, alleluia:
* In psalterio decem chordarum psallam tibi, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Deus meus es tu, et confitebor tibi: Deus meus es tu, et exaltabo te.
R. In psalterio decem chordarum psallam tibi, 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 16:5-14
At that time Jesus said unto His disciples I go My way to Him That sent Me and none of you asketh Me Whither goest Thou And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
94th Tract on John.
The Lord Jesus told His disciples what things they should suffer after that He was gone away from them, and then He said: "These things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you ; but now I go My way to Him That sent Me." Let us first see whether it had been that He had not told them before this what they were to suffer in time coming. That He had done so amply before the night of the last Supper, is testified by the three first Evangelists, but it was when that Supper was ended that, according to John, He said : " These things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you."
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God Alleluia.
* Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee Thou art my God, and I will exalt thee.
R. Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. Alleluia, Alleluia.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Divinum auxilium maneat semper nobiscum. Amen.
Lectio 8
An forte hinc ista solvitur quaestio, quia et illi eum narrant passioni proximum fuisse cum haec diceret? Non ergo ab initio, quando cum illis erat: quia jam discessurus, jamque ad Patrem perrecturus haec dixit. Et ideo etiam secundum illos Evangelistas verum est, quod hic dictum est: Haec autem vobis ab initio non dixi. Sed quid agimus de fide Evangelii secundum Matthaeum, qui haec eis a Domino non solum cum jam Pascha esset cum discipulis cenaturus, imminente passione, verum et ab initio denuntiata esse commemorat; ubi primum nominatim duodecim exprimentur Apostoli, et ad opera divina mittuntur?
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Bonum est confiteri Domino, alleluia:
* Et psallere, alleluia.
V. In decachordo psalterio, cum cantico et cithara.
R. Et psallere, alleluia.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et psallere, alleluia.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. Amen.
Reading 8
Are we then to try and loose the knot of this difficulty by asserting that, according to these three Evangelists, it was on the eve of the Passion, albeit before the Supper, that He had said these things unto them, and therefore not at the beginning, when He was with them, but when He was about to leave them, and go His way to the Father And in this way we might reconcile the truthfulness of what this Evangelist saith here "These things I said not unto you at the beginning" with the truthfulness of the! other three. But this explanation is rendered impossible by the Gospel according to Matthew, who telleth us how that the Lord spake to His Apostles concerning their sufferings to come, not only when He was on the point of eating the Passover with them, but at the very beginning, when the names of the twelve are first given, and they were sent forth to do the work of God. Matth. x. 17-42.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord Alleluia
* And to sing praises Alleluia.
V. Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the harp with a solemn sound.
R. And to sing praises Alleluia.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And to sing praises Alleluia.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Ad societatem civium supernorum perducat nos Rex Angelorum. Amen.
Lectio 9
Quid sibi ergo vult, quod hic ait: Haec autem vobis ab initio non dixi, quia vobiscum eram: nisi quia ea, quae hic dicit de Spiritu sancto, quod sit venturus ad eos, et testimonium perhibiturus, quando mala illa passuri sunt, haec ab initio eis non dixit, quia cum ipsis erat? Consolator ergo ille, vel advocatus, (utrumque enim interpretatur, quod est Graece Paraclitus) Christo abscedente fuerat necessarius: et ideo de illo non dixerat ab initio, quando cum illis erat, quia ejus praesentia consolabantur.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Deduc me in sémitam mandatórum tuórum: alleluia, quoniam ipsam vólui. Alleluia
* Inclína cor meum in testimónia tua. Alleluia
V. Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem; in via tua vivifica me.
R. Inclína cor meum in testimónia tua. Alleluia.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Inclína cor meum in testimónia tua. Alleluia.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 9
It would seem then that when He said: "These things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you," He meant by " these things," not the sufferings which they were to bear for His sake, but His promise of the Comforter Who should come to them, and testify while they suffered, (xv. 26, 27.) This Comforter then, or Advocate, (for the Greek word " Parakletos " will bear either interpretation,) would be needful to them when they saw Christ no more, and therefore it was that Christ spoke not of Him " at the beginning " (of the Gospel Dispensation) while He Himself " was with " His disciples, because His visible Presence was then their sufficient Comfort.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, alleluia, for therein is my desire, alleluia.
* Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
V. O turn away mine eyes lest they behold vanity, and quicken thou me in thy way.
R. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Sequentia Sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem
John 16:5-14
16:5 Haec autem vobis ab initio non dixi, quia vobiscum eram. Et nunc vado ad eum qui misit me; et nemo ex vobis interrogat me: Quo vadis?
16:6 Sed quia haec locutus sum vobis, tristitia implevit cor vestrum.
16:7 Sed ego veritatem dico vobis: expedit vobis ut ego vadam: si enim non abiero, Paraclitus non veniet ad vos; si autem abiero, mittam eum ad vos.
16:8 Et cum venerit ille, arguet mundum de peccato, et de justitia, et de judicio.
16:9 De peccato quidem, quia non crediderunt in me.
16:10 De justitia vero, quia ad Patrem vado, et jam non videbitis me.
16:11 De judicio autem, quia princeps hujus mundi jam judicatus est.
16:12 Adhuc multa habeo vobis dicere, sed non potestis portare modo.
16:13 Cum autem venerit ille Spiritus veritatis, docebit vos omnem veritatem: non enim loquetur a semetipso, sed quaecumque audiet loquetur, et quae ventura sunt annuntiabit vobis.
16:14 Ille me clarificabit, quia de meo accipiet, et annuntiabit 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 16:5-14
16:5 But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
16:6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
16:7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
16:8 And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
16:9 Of sin: because they believed not in me.
16:10 And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
16:11 And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
16:12 I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
16:14 He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to 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.
