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.

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.

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:
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled,
20 Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,
21 Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.

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.

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.

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.

31:11 Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus.
31:12 In camo et freno maxíllas eórum constrínge, * qui non appróximant ad te.

31:5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, * and my injustice I have not concealed.

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.

Ex libro sancti Ambrosii Episcopi de fide resurrectionis.
Post medium.
Qouniam 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.

Reading 4
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.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Primitiae utique eiusdem sunt generis atque nattirai, cujus et reliqui fructus: quorum pro laetiore proventu primitiva Deo munera deferuntur; sacrum munus pro omnibus, et quasi reparatse 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 commtine consortium resurgendi, cum praecipuum fructum virtutis exspectet. Omnes quidem restirgent, 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.

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.

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.

63:2 Quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum, et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari?

63:4 Dies enim ultionis in corde meo; annus redemptionis meae venit.

63:4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 16:23-30
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 nonmilla 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.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Deus canticum novum cantabo tibi, alleluia:
* In psalterio decem chordarum psallam tibi, alleluia, alleluia.

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 Jonh.
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.
* 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
Unde qui hoc sentit de Christo, quod non est de linico Dei Filio sentiendum, non petit in ejus nomine, etiamsi non taceat litteris ac syllabis Christum: quoniam in ejus nomine petit, quem cdgitat 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 defloruntur. 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.
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
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
* 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.

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.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
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.
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.

John 16:23-30
16:23 Et in illo die me non rogabitis quidquam. Amen, amen dico vobis: si quid petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, dabit vobis.
16:24 Usque modo non petistis quidquam in nomine meo: petite, et accipietis, ut gaudium vestrum sit plenum.
16:25 Haec in proverbiis locutus sum vobis. Venit hora cum jam non in proverbiis loquar vobis, sed palam de Patre annuntiabo vobis:
16:26 In illo die in nomine meo petetis: et non dico vobis quia ego rogabo Patrem de vobis:
16:27 Ipse enim Pater amat vos, quia vos me amastis, et credidistis, quia ego a Deo exivi.
16:28 Exivi a Patre, et veni in mundum: iterum relinquo mundum, et vado ad Patrem.
16:29 Dicunt ei discipuli ejus: Ecce nunc palam loqueris, et proverbium nullum dicis:
16:30 Nunc scimus quia scis omnia, et non opus est tibi ut quis te interroget: in hoc credimus quia a Deo existi.
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 16:23-3
16:23 And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
16:24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
16:25 These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
16:26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
16:29 His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
16:30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
16:31 Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
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.
