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.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
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.
V. O Lord, ✠ open thou my lips.
R. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum temporum}
Somno refectis, artubus,
Spreto cubíli, surgimus:
Nobis, Pater, canéntibus
Adesse te deposcimus.
Te lingua primum concinat,
Te mentis ardor ambiat:
Ut actuum sequéntium
Tu, Sancte, sis exordium.
Cedant ténebræ lúmini,
Et nox diurno sideri,
Ut culpa, quam nox intulit,
Lucis labascat munere.
Precámur iidem supplices,
Noxas ut omnes amputes,
Et ore te canéntium
Lauderis omni témpore.
* Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Unice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sæculum. Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Our limbs refreshed with slumber now,
And sloth cast off, in prayer we bow;
And while we sing thy praises dear,
O Father, be thou present here.
To thee our earliest morning song,
To thee our hearts full powers belong;
And thou, O Holy One, prevent
Each following action and intent.
As shades at morning flee away,
And night before the star of day;
So each transgression of the night
Be purged by thee, celestial Light!
Cut off, we pray thee, each offense,
And every lust of thought and sense:
That by their lips who thee adore
Thou mayst be praised forevermore.
Grant this, O Father ever One
With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son,
And Holy Ghost, whom all adore,
Reigning and blest forevermore.
Amen.

Psalmus 13 [1]
13:1 Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * non est Deus.
13:2 Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:3 Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intélligens, aut requírens Deum.
13:4 Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:5 Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum: linguis suis dolóse agébant * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
13:6 Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.
13:7 Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum, et viam pacis non cognovérunt: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.
13:8 Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
13:9 Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
13:10 Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne justa est, consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes ejus est.

Psalms with lections {Antiphons from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Nocturn I.
Ant. The Lord hath looked down from heaven * upon the children of men.
Psalm 13 [1]
13:1 The fool hath said in his heart: * there is no God.
13:2 They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: * there is none that doth good, no not one.
13:3 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
13:4 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: * there is none that doth good: no not one.
13:5 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: * the poison of asps is under their lips.
13:6 Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; * their feet are swift to shed blood.
13:7 Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: * there is no fear of God before their eyes.
13:8 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, * who devour my people as they eat bread?
13:9 They have not called upon the Lord: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
13:10 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man; * but the Lord is his hope.
13:11 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? * when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

16:4 Probásti cor meum, et visitásti nocte: * igne me examinásti, et non est invénta in me iníquitas.

16:11 Inimíci mei ánimam meam circumdedérunt, ádipem suum conclusérunt: * os eórum locútum est supérbiam.
16:12 Projiciéntes me nunc circumdedérunt me: * óculos suos statuérunt declináre in terram.
16:13 Suscepérunt me sicut leo parátus ad prædam: * et sicut cátulus leónis hábitans in ábditis.
16:14 Exsúrge, Dómine, prævéni eum, et supplánta eum: * éripe ánimam meam ab ímpio, frámeam tuam ab inimícis manus tuæ.
16:15 Dómine, a paucis de terra dívide eos in vita eórum: * de abscónditis tuis adimplétus est venter eórum.

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.

16:12 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.

25 Et dixit unus quispiam de Israël: Num vidistis virum hunc, qui ascendit? Ad exprobrandum enim Israéli ascendit. Virum ergo qui percusserit eum, ditabit rex divitiis magnis, et filiam suam dabit ei, et domum patris ejus faciet absque tributo in Israël.
26 Et ait David ad viros qui stabant secum, dicens: Quid dabitur viro qui percusserit Philisthaeum hunc, et tulerit opprobrium de Israël? Quis enim est hic Philisthaeus incircumcisus, qui exprobravit acies Dei viventis?
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Recordare, Domine, testamenti tui, et dic Angelo percutienti: Cesset jam manus tua,

25 And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Remember, O Lord, thy covenant, and say unto the destroying Angel: Stay now thine hand

33 And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. O Lord, Thou hast hearkened unto the prayer of thy servant, that I might build a temple unto thy Name,

35 And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
36 For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Hearken, O Lord, unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee today, that thine eyes may be open and thine ears attent
* Toward this house day and night.

R. Toward this house, day and night.

Nocturn II.
Ant. I will love thee, * O Lord, my strength. ‡
Psalm 17(1-16) [4]
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.
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.
Ant. I will love thee, * O Lord, my strength.

Psalmus 17(17-35) [5]
17:17 Misit de summo, et accépit me: * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis.

17:22 Quia custodívi vias Dómini, * nec ímpie gessi a Deo meo.
17:23 Quóniam ómnia judícia ejus in conspéctu meo: * et justítias ejus non répuli a me.
17:24 Et ero immaculátus cum eo: * et observábo me ab iniquitáte mea.
17:25 Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum justítiam meam: * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum in conspéctu oculórum ejus.
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.

Ant. The Lord will reward me * according to my justice.
Psalm 17(17-35) [5]
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.

17:46 Pópulus quem non cognóvi servívit mihi: * in audítu auris obedívit mihi.
17:47 Fílii aliéni mentíti sunt mihi, * fílii aliéni inveteráti sunt, et claudicavérunt a sémitis suis.
17:48 Vivit Dóminus, et benedíctus Deus meus: * et exaltétur Deus salútis meæ.
17:49 Deus, qui das vindíctas mihi, et subdis pópulos sub me: * liberátor meus de inimícis meis iracúndis.
17:50 Et ab insurgéntibus in me exaltábis me: * a viro iníquo erípies me.
17:51 Proptérea confitébor tibi in natiónibus, Dómine: * et nómini tuo psalmum dicam.

Psalm 17(36-51) [6]
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.

17:41 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.

Lectio 4
Gulielmus nobilibus parentibus Vercellis in Insubria natus, vix quartum decimum aetatis annum expleverat, cum miro quodam pietatis ardore flagrans, Compostellanam peregrinationem ad celeberrimum sancti Jacobi templum aggressus est, Quod iter una amictus tunica, ac duplici ferreo circulo praecinctus, nudisque pedibus prosecutus, asperrima frigoris et aestus, famis et sitis summo cum vitae discrimine perpessus est incommoda. Reversus in Italiam, novam ad sanctum Domini sepulcrum peregrinationem molitur: sed quo minus propositum exsequatur, varia atque gravissima intercedunt impedimenta, divino numine ad altiora, et sanctiora religiosam juvenis indolem retrahente. Porro in soliculo monte biennium inter assiduas preces, vigilias, chameunias, et jejunia commoratus, divina subnixus ope, caeco lumen restituit. Cujus miraculi fama percrebrescente, jam Gulielmus latere non poterat: quare iterum Jerosolymam cogitat, et alacris se itineri committit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Honestum fecit illum Dóminus, et custodívit eum ab inimícis, et a seductoribus tutavit illum:
* Et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam.
V. Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas, et osténdit illi regnum Dei
R. Et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam.

Reading 4
This William was born of noble parents at Vercelli in Lombardy. He was but little over fourteen years of age, when, impelled by a strange earnestness for holiness, he undertook a pilgrimage to Compostella, to the far-famed Church of St James. This journey he made clad in a single garment, wearing an iron girdle wound two-fold round his body, and with bare feet. He accomplished his object under the severest hardships of cold and heat, hunger and thirst, and at the great danger of his life. After his return to Italy, he undertook a new pilgrimage, this time to the Holy Sepulchre of the Lord. But in the way of fulfilling this, there arose divers and most grievous obstacles, whereby the hand of God drew the lad to the higher and holier life of a monk. He dwelt in the town of Monte Solicolo for two years, which he passed in constant prayer, watching, sleeping upon the ground, and fasting. At the end of this time, the power of God made him the mean to restore a blind man to sight. The fame of this miracle became so noised abroad, that William could no longer remain unknown. His thoughts turned again towards Jerusalem, and he again entered cheerfully on the journey.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord made him honourable, and defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait for him
* And gave him perpetual glory.
V. He went down with him into the pit, and left him not in bonds.
R. And gave him perpetual glory.

Dei autem monitu, qui eidem apparuit, a proposito revocatur, utilior ac fructuosior tam apud Italos, quam apud exteras nationes futurus.

He was again hindered by a vision from God, and remained among the Italians to be more useful, and to bring forth more fruit than he would have done among strangers. With extraordinary speed, he built a monastery upon the summit of Monte Vergiliano, ever since named Monte Vergine, (between Nola and Benevento.) Thither he called around him, as his comrades, devout men, and schooled them into a way of life most closely following the commands and counsels of the Gospel, in great part by a rule taken from the constitutions of Blessed Benedict, and supplemented by his own words, and the example of his own holy life.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord loved him and beautified him He clothed him with a robe of glory
* And crowned him at the gates of Paradise.
V. The Lord hath put on him the breast-plate of faith, and hath adorned him.

Aliis deinde monasteriis erectis, clarior in dies Gulielmi facta sanctitas multos ad eum undique viros perducit, sanctitatis odore, et miraculorum fama allectos. Nam muti loquelam, surdi auditum, aridi vigorem, varioque et immedicabili morbo laborantes, sanitatem ipsius intercessione receperunt. Aquam in vinum convertit, aliaque complura mirabilia patravit: inter quae illud non silendum, quod, muliercula ad ejus castitatem tentandam missa, in ardentibus prunis humi stratis illaesum se volutavit De qua re certior factus Rogerius Neapolis rex, in summam viri Dei venerationem adducitur.

As other monasteries were raised, the holy life of William became more known day by day, and brought men to him from all quarters, drawn by the sweet savour of his godliness, and the fame of his miracles. At his prayers the dumb spake, the deaf heard, the withered were strengthened, and they that suffered under divers and incurable diseases received health. He turned water into wine, and openly worked many other miracles. Among all these things it must be told that a wretched woman sought him to lure him to impurity, but he raked hot embers out upon the floor and cast himself down upon them, and wallowed among them, and escaped unhurt. When this thing came to the knowledge of Roger I., King of Naples, it roused in him the highest reverence for the man of God. At the last, after foretelling his own death to the King and to others, and full of good works and miracles, he fell asleep in the Lord, in the year of salvation 1142.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. This is he which did according unto all that God commanded him; and God said unto him Enter thou into My rest
* For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people.
V. This is he which loved not his life in this world, and is come unto an everlasting kingdom.
R. For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people.

29:9 Thou turnedst away thy face from me, * and I became troubled.
29:10 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: * and I will make supplication to my God.
29:11 What profit is there in my blood, * whilst I go down to corruption?
29:12 Shall dust confess to thee, * or declare thy truth?
29:13 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: * the Lord became my helper.
29:14 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: * thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
Matt 19:27-29
In illo tempore: Dixit Petrus ad Jesum: Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, et secuti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis? Et reliqua. De Homilia venerabilis Bedae Presbyteri.
In Natali S. Benedicti.
Duo sunt ordines electorum in judicio futuri: unus judicantium cum Domino, de quibus hoc loco memorat, qui reliquerunt omnia, et secuti sunt illum: alius judicandorum a Domino, qui non quidem omnia sua pariter reliquerunt, sed de his tamen quae habebant, quotidianas dare eleemosynas Christi pauperibus curabant: unde et audituri sunt in judicio: Venite benedicti Patris mei, possidete praeparatum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi. Esurivi enim, et dedistis mihi manducare: sitivi, et dedistis mihi bibere.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Iste est qui ante Deum magnas virtútes operátus est, et de omni corde suo laudavit Dóminum:
* Ipse intercedat pro peccátis ómnium populórum.
V. Ecce homo sine querela, verus Dei cultor, abstinens se ab omni ópere malo, et pérmanens in innocéntia sua.
R. Ipse intercedat pro peccátis ómnium populórum.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.
Reading 7
The Lesson is taken from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 19:27-29
At that time : Peter said unto Jesus : Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed Thee : what shall we have therefore? And so on.
Homily by the Venerable Bede, Priest (at Jarrow and Doctor of the Church).
For St Benedict's Birthday.
In the judgment to come, the elect will be in two classes. One class are they who have forsaken all, and followed the Lord : and these shall judge along with Him. The other class are they who have not equally forsaken all that they had, but who have been careful daily to give alms of their goods to the poor of Christ : these shall be the subjects of judgment, and these are they who shall then hear these words: "Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : for I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink." Matth. xxv. 34, 35.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. This is he which wrought great wonders before God, and praised the Lord with all his heart.
* May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them
V. Behold a man without blame, a worshipper of God in truth, keeping himself clean from every evil work, and abiding still in his innocency.
R. May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum colimus, ipse intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Sed et reproborum duos ibi futuros ordines Domino narrante comperimus: unum eorum, qui fidei christiana; mysteriis initiati, opera fidei exercere contemnunt, quibus in judicio testatur: Discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum, qui praeparatus est diabolo, et angelis ejus: esurivi enim, et non dedistis mihi manducare. Alterum eorum, qui fidem et mysteria Christi vel numquam suscepere, vel susceptam per apostasiam deseruere: de quibus dicit: Qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est: quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Sint lumbi vestri præcincti, et lucernæ ardentes in mánibus vestris
* Et vos símiles homínibus exspectantibus dóminum suum, quando revertatur a núptiis.
V. Vigiláte ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit.
R. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectantibus dóminum suum, quando revertatur a núptiis.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectantibus dóminum suum, quando revertatur a núptiis.

Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen.
Reading 8
Of the reprobate also we gather, from the words of the Lord, that there will be two classes. One class are they who, being made partakers in the mystery of Christian faith, have neglected to show their faith by their works : these are they to whom it will be said at the judgment Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels : for I was an-hungered, and ye gave Me no meat." The other class are they who either have never received the faith and mysteries of Christ, or who, having received, have apostatised, and abandoned it : and touching these it is said : "But he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God." John iii. 18.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning,
* And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.
V. Watch, therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
R. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.

Verum his cum timore et pavore debito paulisper commemoratis, ad laetissima potius Domini et Salvatoris nostri promissa convertamus auditum. Videamus quae tantae gratia pietatis: non aeternae tantummodo vitae praemia suis sequacibus, sed et praesentis munera pollicetur eximia. Et omnis, inquit, qui reliquerit domum, vel fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxorem, aut filios, aut agros, propter nomen meum, centuplum accipiet, et vitam aeternam possidebit. Qui enim terrenis affectibus sive possessionibus pro Christi discipulatu renuntiaverit, quo plus in ejus amorem profecerit, eo plures inveniet, qui se interno suscipere affectu, et suis gaudeant sustentare substantiis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Tu Rex glóriæ, * Christe.
Tu Patris * sempitérnus es Fílius.

Ætérna fac cum Sanctis tuis * in glória numerári.
Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, * et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
Et rege eos, * et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
Per síngulos dies * benedícimus te.
Fit reverentia, secundum consuetudinem
Et laudámus nomen tuum in sæculum, * et in sæculum sæculi.
Dignáre, Dómine, die isto * sine peccáto nos custodíre.

Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.

Reading 9
And now that we have touched for a moment, with fear and just dread, upon these things, let us rather turn our hearing to the right joyful promises of our Lord and Saviour. Let us look what His so great, beautiful, and fatherly love will give to such as follow Him ; not the reward of life everlasting only, but gifts exceeding precious in this life also. Every one," saith He, that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My Name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." For every one that shall forsake earthly affections and goods, to go and be Christ's disciple, the further he goeth on in Christ's love, the more shall he find who will rejoice to give him a place in their hearts, and to minister to him of their substance.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
(bow head) Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow:
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
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.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
