Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins. The resurrection of the body. And life everlasting. Amen.

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.

Psalmus 1 [1]
1:1 Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
1:2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
1:3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
1:4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
1:5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem prójicit ventus a fácie terræ.
1:6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
1:7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.

1:4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
1:5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

2:2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
2:3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
2:4 Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
2:5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
2:6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prædicans præcéptum ejus.

2:8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hereditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.

Psalm 2 [2]
2:1 Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2:2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
2:3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
2:4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
2:6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
2:7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
2:10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
2:11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
2:12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
2:13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

7:3 Dómine, Deus meus, si feci istud, * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis:
7:4 Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, * décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis.
7:5 Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.
7:6 Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua: * et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.

7:13 Nisi convérsi fuéritis, gládium suum vibrábit: * arcum suum teténdit, et parávit illum.
7:14 Et in eo parávit vasa mortis: * sagíttas suas ardéntibus effécit.

Psalm 7 [5]
7:1 O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: * save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
7:2 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
7:3 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, * if there be iniquity in my hands:
7:4 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, * let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
7:5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, * and bring down my glory to the dust.
7:6 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: * and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.
7:7 And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: * and a congregation of people shall surround thee.
7:8 And for their sakes return thou on high. * The Lord judgeth the people.
7:9 Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence in me.
7:10 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: * the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
7:11 Just is my help from the Lord: * who saveth the upright of heart.
7:12 God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is he angry every day?
7:13 Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: * he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
7:14 And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, * he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
7:15 Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; * he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
7:16 He hath opened a pit and dug it: * and he is fallen into the hole he made.
7:17 His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: * and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.
7:18 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: * and will sing to the name of the Lord the most High.

8:5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
8:6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * and hast set him over the works of thy hands.

9:4 Quóniam fecísti judícium meum et causam meam: * sedísti super thronum, qui júdicas justítiam.
9:5 Increpásti Gentes, et périit ímpius: * nomen eórum delésti in ætérnum, et in sæculum sæculi.
9:6 Inimíci defecérunt frámeæ in finem: * et civitátes eórum destruxísti.
9:7 Périit memória eórum cum sónitu: * et Dóminus in ætérnum pérmanet.
9:8 Parávit in judício thronum suum: * et ipse judicábit orbem terræ in æquitáte, judicábit pópulos in justítia.
9:9 Et factus est Dóminus refúgium páuperi: * adjútor in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne.
9:10 Et sperent in te qui novérunt nomen tuum: * quóniam non dereliquísti quæréntes te, Dómine.
9:12 Psállite Dómino, qui hábitat in Sion: * annuntiáte inter Gentes stúdia ejus:
9:13 Quóniam requírens sánguinem eórum recordátus est: * non est oblítus clamórem páuperum.

9:15 Qui exáltas me de portis mortis, * ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion.
9:16 Exsultábo in salutári tuo: * infíxæ sunt Gentes in intéritu, quem fecérunt.
9:17 In láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
9:18 Cognoscétur Dóminus judícia fáciens: * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
9:19 Convertántur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes Gentes quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
9:20 Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis: * patiéntia páuperum non períbit in finem.
9:21 Exsúrge, Dómine, non confortétur homo: * judicéntur Gentes in conspéctu tuo.
9:21 Constítue, Dómine, legislatórem super eos: * ut sciant Gentes quóniam hómines sunt.

Psalm 9 [7]
9:1 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: * I will relate all thy wonders.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: * I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
9:3 When my enemy shall be turned back: * they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: * thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: * thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: * and their cities thou hast destroyed.
9:7 Their memory hath perished with a noise. * But the Lord remaineth for ever.
9:8 He hath prepared his throne in judgment: * And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9:9 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: * a helper in due time in tribulation.
9:10 And let them trust in thee who know thy name: * for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
9:12 Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: * declare his ways among the Gentiles.
9:13 For requiring their blood he hath remembered them: * he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
9:14 Have mercy on me, O Lord: * see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
9:15 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, * that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
9:16 I will rejoice in thy salvation: * the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared.
9:17 Their foot hath been taken * in the very snare which they hid.
9:18 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: * the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
9:19 The wicked shall be turned into hell, * all the nations that forget God.
9:20 For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: * the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
9:21 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: * let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
9:21 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: * that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
9:22 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? * why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
9:23 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: * they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
9:24 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: * and the unjust man is blessed.
9:25 The sinner hath provoked the Lord, * according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him.
9:26 God is not before his eyes: * his ways are filthy at all times.
9:27 Thy judgments are removed from his sight: * he shall rule over all his enemies.
9:28 For he hath said in his heart: * I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
9:29 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: * under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
9:30 He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, * that he may kill the innocent.
9:31 His eyes are upon the poor man: * he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den.
9:32 He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: * so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
9:32 In his net he will bring him down, * he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
9:32 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, * he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.
9:33 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: * forget not the poor.
9:34 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? * for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
9:35 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: * that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
9:36 To thee is the poor man left: * thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
9:37 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: * his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
9:38 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: * ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
9:39 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: * thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
9:39 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, * that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
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.

10:4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cælo sedes ejus.
10:5 Óculi ejus in páuperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
10:6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
10:7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
10:8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.

Psalm 10 [8]
10:1 In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow?
10:2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow: they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
10:3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
10:4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
10:5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
10:6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.
10:7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone, and storms of winds, shall be the portion of their cup.
10:8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

6 Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.
11 Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:
12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.

1 Pet 1:13-21
13 Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
14 As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
15 But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:
16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
17 And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one's work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.
18 Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:

Psalmus 15 [13]
15:1 Consérva me, Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. * Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.
15:2 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.
15:3 Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.
15:4 Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.
15:5 Dóminus pars hereditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hereditátem meam mihi.
15:6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim heréditas mea præclára est mihi.
15:7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
15:8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
15:9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
15:10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
15:11 Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.

Psalm 15 [13]
15:1 Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
15:2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
15:3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
15:4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
15:5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
15:6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
15:7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
15:8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
15:9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
15:10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

16:2 Áuribus pércipe oratiónem meam, * non in lábiis dolósis.
16:3 De vultu tuo judícium meum pródeat: * óculi tui vídeant æquitátes.
16:4 Probásti cor meum, et visitásti nocte: * igne me examinásti, et non est invénta in me iníquitas.
16:5 Ut non loquátur os meum ópera hóminum: * propter verba labiórum tuórum ego custodívi vias duras.
16:6 Pérfice gressus meos in sémitis tuis: * ut non moveántur vestígia mea.
16:7 Ego clamávi, quóniam exaudísti me, Deus: * inclína aurem tuam mihi, et exáudi verba mea.
16:8 Mirífica misericórdias tuas, * qui salvos facis sperántes in te.

Psalm 16 [14]
16:1 Hear, O Lord, my justice: * attend to my supplication.
16:2 Give ear unto my prayer, * which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
16:3 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: * let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
16:4 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, * thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
16:5 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: * for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
16:6 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: * that my footsteps be not moved.
16:7 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: * O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
16:8 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; * thou who savest them that trust in thee.
16:9 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, * as the apple of thy eye.
16:10 Protect me under the shadow of thy wings. * from the face of the wicked who have afflicted me.
16:11 My enemies have surrounded my soul: They have shut up their fat: * their mouth hath spoken proudly.
16:12 They have cast me forth, and now they have surrounded me: * they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
16:13 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; * and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
16:14 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; * deliver my soul from the wicked one; thy sword from the enemies of thy hand.
16:15 O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: * their belly is filled from thy hidden stores.
16:16 They are full of children: * and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
16:17 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: * I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

17:3 Protéctor meus, et cornu salútis meæ, * et suscéptor meus.
17:4 Laudans invocábo Dóminum: * et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.
17:5 Circumdedérunt me dolóres mortis: * et torréntes iniquitátis conturbavérunt me.
17:6 Dolóres inférni circumdedérunt me: * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.
17:7 In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum, * et ad Deum meum clamávi.
17:8 Et exaudívit de templo sancto suo vocem meam: * et clamor meus in conspéctu ejus, introívit in aures ejus.

17:10 Ascéndit fumus in ira ejus: et ignis a fácie ejus exársit: * carbónes succénsi sunt ab eo.
17:11 Inclinávit cælos, et descéndit: * et calígo sub pédibus ejus.
17:12 Et ascéndit super Chérubim, et volávit: * volávit super pennas ventórum.

17:26 Cum sancto sanctus eris, * et cum viro innocénte ínnocens eris:
17:27 Et cum elécto eléctus eris: * et cum pervérso pervertéris.
17:28 Quóniam tu pópulum húmilem salvum fácies: * et óculos superbórum humiliábis.
17:29 Quóniam tu illúminas lucérnam meam, Dómine: * Deus meus, illúmina ténebras meas.
17:30 Quóniam in te erípiar a tentatióne, * et in Deo meo transgrédiar murum.
17:31 Deus meus, impollúta via ejus: elóquia Dómini igne examináta: * protéctor est ómnium sperántium in se.
17:32 Quóniam quis Deus præter Dóminum? * aut quis Deus præter Deum nostrum?
17:33 Deus, qui præcínxit me virtúte: * et pósuit immaculátam viam meam.
17:34 Qui perfécit pedes meos tamquam cervórum, * et super excélsa státuens me.

17:36 Et dedísti mihi protectiónem salútis tuæ: * et déxtera tua suscépit me:
17:37 Et disciplína tua corréxit me in finem: * et disciplína tua ipsa me docébit.
17:38 Dilatásti gressus meos subtus me: * et non sunt infirmáta vestígia mea:

Psalm 17 [15]
17:1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength: * The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer.
17:2 My God is my helper, * and in him will I put my trust.
17:3 My protector, and the horn of my salvation, * and my support.
17:4 Praising, I will call upon the Lord: * and I shall be saved from my enemies.
17:5 The sorrows of death surrounded me: * and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
17:6 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: * and the snares of death prevented me.
17:7 In my affliction I called upon the Lord, * and I cried to my God:
17:8 And he heard my voice from his holy temple: * and my cry before him came into his ears.
17:9 The earth shook and trembled: * the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
17:10 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: * coals were kindled by it.
17:11 He bowed the heavens, and came down, * and darkness was under his feet.
17:12 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; * he flew upon the wings of the winds.
17:13 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: * dark waters in the clouds of the air.
17:14 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, * hail and coals of fire.
17:15 And the Lord thundered from heaven, * and the Highest gave his voice: * hail and coals of fire.
17:16 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: * he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
17:16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, * and the foundations of the world were discovered:
17:16 At thy rebuke, O Lord, * at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
17:17 He sent from on high, and took me: * and received me out of many waters.
17:18 He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: * for they were too strong for me.
17:19 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: * and the Lord became my protector.
17:20 And he brought me forth into a large place: * he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
17:21 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; * and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
17:22 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; * and have not done wickedly against my God.
17:23 For all his judgments are in my sight: * and his justices I have not put away from me.
17:24 And I shall be spotless with him: * and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
17:25 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice: * and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
17:26 With the holy thou wilt be holy; * and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent:
17:27 And with the elect thou wilt be elect: * and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
17:28 For thou wilt save the humble people; * but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
17:29 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: * O my God, enlighten my darkness.
17:30 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; * and through my God I shall go over a wall.
17:31 As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire-tried: * he is the protector of all that trust in him.
17:32 For who is God but the Lord? * or who is God but our God?
17:33 God, who hath girt me with strength; * and made my way blameless.
17:34 Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: * and who setteth me upon high places.
17:35 Who teacheth my hands to war: * and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
17:36 Thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: * and thy right hand hath held me up:
17:37 And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: * and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
17:38 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; * and my feet are not weakened.
17:39 I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: * and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
17:40 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: * they shall fall under my feet.
17:41 And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; * and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
17:42 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, * and hast destroyed them that hated me.
17:43 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: * but he heard them not.
17:44 And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; * I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
17:45 Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people; * thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
17:46 A people which I knew not, hath served me: * at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
17:47 The children that are strangers have lied to me, * strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
17:48 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, * and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
17:49 O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, * my deliverer from my enraged enemies.
17:50 And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: * from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
17:51 Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, * and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
17:51 Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David, his anointed: * and to his seed for ever.

Ex libro sancti Ambrosii Episcopi de fide resurrectionis.
Post medium.
Quoniam Dei mori non poterat Sapientia, resurgere autem non poterat quod mortuum non erat; assumitur caro, quae mori posset: ut dum moritur quod solet, quod mortuum fuerat, hoc resurgeret. Neque enim poterat esse, nisi per hominem resurrectio: quoniam sicut per hominem mors, ita et per hominem resurrectio mortuorum. Ergo resurrexit homo, quoniam homo mortuus est: resuscitatus homo, sed resuscitans Deus. Tunc secundum carnem homo, nunc per omnia Deus. Nunc enim secundum carnem jam non novimus Christum, sed carnis gratiam tenemus, ut ipsum primitias quiescentium, ipsum primogenitum ex mortuis noverimus.

From the Book written by St Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, on belief in the Resurrection.
After middle
Since it was impossible that the Wisdom of God could die, and that which could not die could not rise from the dead, He took to Himself Flesh Which could die, that That Whose nature it was to die might die, and rise again. Neither was it possible that the resurrection of the dead should come otherwise than by man, "for since by man came death, by Man came also the resurrection of the dead." (1 Cor. xv. 21.) Man He rose since Man He died, the Manhood quickened but the Godhead Quickener. Man then, as touching the Flesh God now, over all things. For now we know Christ no longer after the Flesh, but we owe it to the Flesh that we know Him as "become the First-fruits of them that slept" 1 Cor. xv. 23 "and the First-begotten of the dead" Apoc. i. 5.

Primitiae utique eiusdem sunt generis atque naturae, cujus et reliqui fructus: quorum pro laetiore proventu primitiva Deo munera deferuntur; sacrum munus pro omnibus, et quasi reparatae quaedam liba naturae. Primitiae ergo quiescentium Christus. Sed utrum suorum quiescentium, qui quasi mortis exsortes, dulci quodam sopore tenentur, an omnium mortuorum? Sed sicut in Adam omnes moriuntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabuntur. Itaque sicut primitiae mortis in Adam, ita etiam primitiae resurrectionis in Christo omnes resurgent. Sed nemo desperet, neque justus doleat commune consortium resurgendi, cum praecipuum fructum virtutis exspectet. Omnes quidem resurgent, sed unusquisque, ut ait Apostolus, in suo ordine. Communis est divinae fructus clementiae, sed distinctus ordo meritorum.

Reading 5
The first-fruits are of the same kind and nature as the other fruits, and they are brought as an offering to God l to win His blessing on the in-gathering, an holy offering made on behalf of all, and as it were the homage of restored nature. Christ then is the First-fruits of them that sleep. But is He the First-fruits of only His own loved ones that fall asleep in Him, and lie as it were untouched by death, wrapt in a sweet slumber Or is He the First-fruits of all the dead? But "as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." 1 Cor. xv. 22. So that, as in Adam were the first-fruits of the death wherein all die, even so in Christ were the first-fruits of the resurrection, wherein all rise again. But let no man be hopeless, neither let it be a grief to the righteous to remember that to rise again will be common to all men, when he looketh for that day wherein the harvest of his life will nobly realise itself. All shall rise again, "but," as saith the Apostle 23, "every man in his own order." The harvest of God's mercy will be for all, but in reward one man shall differ from another.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Lectio 6
Advertimus, quam grave sit sacrilegium, resurrectionem non credere. Si enim non resurgemus, ergo Christus gratis mortuus est, ergo Christus non resurrexit. Si enim nobis non resurrexit, utique non resurrexit, qui sibi cur resurgeret, non habebat. Resurrexit in eo mundus, resurrexit in eo caelum, resurrexit in eo terra. Erit enim caelum novum, et terra nova. Sibi autem non erat necessaria resurrectio, quem mortis vincula non tenebant. Nam etsi secundum hominem mortuus, in ipsis tamen erat liber infernis. Vis scire quam liber? Factus sum sicut homo sine adjutorio, inter mortuos liber. Et bene liber, qui se poterat suscitare, juxta quod scriptum est: Solvite hoc templum, et in triduo resuscitabo illud. Et bene liber, qui alios descenderat redempturus.

Reading 6
I tell you how grievous an outrage against God it is not to believe in the resurrection. If we shall Is this not rise again, then did Christ die in vain, then is Christ not risen For if [if He rose at all,] He rose for us, and if He had not us to rise for, then He is plainly not risen. In Him the world, in Him the heavens, in Him the earth rose again. For there shall be "a new heaven, and a new earth" Apoc. xxi. 1. For Himself He needed not to rise Whom the bands of death held not. For although He died as Man, yet was He free in the netherworld itself. Wouldest thou hear how free "I am as a man that hath no strength, free among the dead" Ps. Ixxxvii. 6. O how free Who was able to take up his life again at will John x. 18, even as it is written that He said "Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up" John ii. 19. O how free Who descended into hell only to redeem others therefrom.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Sing us a song, alleluia.
* How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land, alleluia, alleluia.

20:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: * and their seed from among the children of men.

In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Amen, amen dico vobis: si quid petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, dabit vobis. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tractatus 102. in Joannem.
Domini verba nunc ista tractanda sunt: Amen, amen dico vobis: si quid petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, dabit vobis. Jam dictum est in superioribus hujus Dominici sermonis partibus, propter eos, qui nonnulla petunt a Patre in Christi nomine, nec accipiunt: non peti in nomine Salvatoris, quidquid petitur contra rationem salutis. Non enim sonum litterarum ac syllabarum, sed quod sonus ipse significat, et quod eo sono recte ac veraciter intelligitur, hoc accipiendus est dicere, cum dicit: In nomine meo.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 16:23-3
At that time Jesus said unto His disciples Amen, Amen, I say unto you: Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, He will give it you. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
102nd Tract on John.
We have now to consider these words of the Lord "Amen, Amen, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, He will give it you." It hath already been said in the earlier part of this discourse of the Lord, for the sake of some who ask the Father in Christ's Name and receive not, that whatsoever is asked, which tendeth not to salvation, is not asked in the Name of the Saviour. By the words "In My Name" we must not understand the vocalization of letters and syllables, but the meaning of what is said, the honest and true meaning.
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.

Unde qui hoc sentit de Christo, quod non est de unico Dei Filio sentiendum, non petit in ejus nomine, etiamsi non taceat litteris ac syllabis Christum: quoniam in ejus nomine petit, quem cogitat cum petit. Qui vero quod est de illo sentiendum sentit, ipse in ejus nomine petit: et accipit quod petit, si non contra suam salutem sempiternam petit: Accipit autem quando debet accipere. Quaedam enim non negantur: sed ut congruo dentur tempore differuntur. Ita sane intelligendum est quod ait: Dabit vobis: ut ea beneficia significata sciantur his verbis, quae ad eos, qui petunt, proprie pertinent. Exaudiuntur quippe omnes Sancti pro seipsis, non autem pro omnibus exaudiuntur vel amicis, vel inimicis suis, vel quibuslibet aliis: quia non utcumque dictum est, Dabit; sed, Dabit vobis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 8
Therefore, whosoever thinketh of Christ as he ought not to think of the Only Son of God, such an one doth not ask anything in Christ's Name, although he do actually utter letters and syllables to that effect, because by these sounds he meaneth not the Real Christ, but a fancied being who hath no existence except in the speaker's imagination. But on the other hand, whosoever thinketh of Christ as he ought to think, the same asketh in Christ's Name, and receiveth, provided only it be nothing against his own everlasting salvation but if it is good for him to receive, he receiveth. Some things are not given at once, but kept over till a more fitting season. Such is the true interpretation of the words "He will give it you" namely, that those things will be given which are good for them to ask. All the Saints also are heard when they ask for themselves, but not necessarily when they ask for their friends, or their enemies, or others, even as it is written, not simply "He will give it" but "He will give it you."
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.

Lectio 9
Usque modo, inquit, non petistis quidquam in nomine meo. Petite, et accipietis, ut gaudium vestrum sit plenum. Hoc quod dicit, gaudium plenum, profecto non carnale, sed spiritale gaudium est: et quando tantum erit, ut aliquid ei jam non sit addendum, procul dubio tunc erit plenum. Quidquid ergo petitur, quod pertineat ad hoc gaudium consequendum, hoc est in nomine Christi petendum, si divinam intelligimus gratiam, si vere beatam poscimus vitam. Quidquid autem aliud petitur, nihil petitur: non quia nulla omnino res est, sed quia in tantae rei comparatione quidquid aliud concupiscitur, nihil est.

Reading 9
Hitherto saith the Lord, have ye asked nothing in My Name? "Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." This their joy, whereof He saith that it shall be full, is to be understood not of fleshly but of spiritual joy and when that joy is so great that it can be increased no more, then shall it without doubt be full. Whatsoever therefore we ask for the fulfilling of this joy, (that is, if we thereby mean grace, if we ask for that life which is the really blessed one,) that is a thing which it is meet to ask in Christ's Name. If we ask anything else than this, we ask nothing, although we do actually ask something, because all things are nothing in comparison with this.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.

When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow.
And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
