Invitatory {Antiphon from the Psalter for the day of the week}
Ant. The Lord it is who made us * Come, let us adore Him.
Ant. The Lord it is who made us * Come, let us adore Him.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. The Lord it is who made us * Come, let us adore Him.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. Come, let us adore Him.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. The Lord it is who made us * Come, let us adore Him.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. Come, let us adore Him.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
Ant. The Lord it is who made us * Come, let us adore Him.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Now, from the slumbers of the night arising,
Chant we the holy psalmody of David,
Hymns to our Master, with a voice concordant,
Sweetly intoning.

So may our Monarch pitifully hear us,
That we may merit with his saints to enter
Mansions eternal, therewithal possessing
Joy beatific.

This be our portion, God forever blessed,
Father eternal, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Whose is the glory, which through all creation
Ever resoundeth.
Amen.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom
Wis 1:1-4
1 Love justice, you that are the judges of the earth. Think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart.
2 For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he showeth himself to them that have faith in him.
3 For perverse thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise:
4 For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. God possessed me in the beginning, before He made the earth, before He created the depths, before He caused the fountains of water to spring.
* Before the mountains were settled, before there were any hills, did the Lord beget me.
℣. When He prepared the heavens, I was there with Him, ordering all things.
℟. Before the mountains were settled, before there were any hills, did the Lord beget me.

Sap 1:5-8
5 Spíritus enim sanctus disciplínæ effúgiet fictum et áuferet se a cogitatiónibus quæ sunt sine intelléctu et corripiétur a superveniénte iniquitáte.
6 Benígnus est enim spíritus sapiéntiæ et non liberábit malédicum a lábiis suis; quóniam renum illíus testis est Deus et cordis illíus scrutátor est verus, et linguæ ejus audítor:
7 Quóniam spíritus Dómini replévit orbem terrárum, et hoc quod cóntinet ómnia, sciéntiam habet vocis.
8 Propter hoc qui lóquitur iníqua non potest latére, nec prætériet illum corrípiens judícium.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Gyrum cæli circuívi sola, et in flúctibus maris ambulávi, in omni gente et in omni pópulo primátum ténui:

Wis 1:5-8
5 For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in.
6 For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
7 For the spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world: and that, which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice.
8 Therefore he that speaketh unjust things cannot be hid, neither shall the chastising judgment pass him by.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked on the waves of the sea. In every nation and in every people, I held the first place.
* In the greatness of my strength have I trodden under my feet the necks of such as be haughty and proud.
℣. I dwell in the highest places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.

Sap 1:9-11
9 In cogitatiónibus enim ímpii interrogátio erit, sermónum autem illíus audítio ad Deum véniet ad correptiónem iniquitátum illíus;
10 Quóniam auris zeli audit ómnia, et tumúltus murmuratiónum non abscondétur.
11 Custodíte ergo vos a murmuratióne, quæ nihil prodest, et a detractióne párcite linguæ, quóniam sermo obscúrus in vácuum non ibit, os autem quod mentítur occídit ánimam.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Emítte, Dómine, sapiéntiam de sede magnitúdinis tuæ, ut mecum sit et mecum labóret:
* Ut sciam, quid accéptum sit coram te omni témpore.

Wis 1:9-11
9 For inquisition shall be made into the thoughts of the ungodly: and the hearing of his words shall come to God, to the chastising of his iniquities.
10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things, and the tumult of murmuring shall not be hid.
11 Keep yourselves therefore from murmuring, which profiteth nothing, and refrain your tongue from detraction, for an obscure speech shall not go for nought: and the mouth that belieth, killeth the soul.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. O send out wisdom from the throne of thy glory, O Lord, to be with me, and to labour with me,
* That I may know at all times what is pleasing unto thee.

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.
9:16 Their foot hath been taken * in the very snare which they hid.
9:17 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: * the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

Magnus justítiæ splendor, quæ áliis pótius nata quam sibi, communitátem et societátem nostram ádjuvat, excelsitátem tenet, ut suo judício ómnia subjécta hábeat, opem áliis ferat, pecúniam cónferat, offícia non ábnuat, perícula suscípiat aliéna.

Etenim dum augére opes, aggregáre pecúnias, occupáre terras possessiónibus cúpimus, præstáre divítiis; justítiæ formam exúimus, beneficéntiam commúnem amíttimus.

From the Book of St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, "On Offices."
Bk. i. c. 28
Great is the glory of justice. She liveth for others rather than for herself. By her our commonwealth and fellowship are holpen. She holdeth such a pre-eminence that all things are subject unto her judgment. She helpeth others. She giveth wealth. She refuseth not to labour. She taketh upon her the dangers of others. Who would not desire to hold this castle of power and courage, if the covetousness of our first parents had not weakened and distorted the strength of our nerve But so it is, that, while we are fain to increase wealth, to put by money, to add lands to our possessions, or to make show of our abundance, we put off the image of justice, and lose charity toward our brethren.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Give me wisdom, O Lord, that sitteth by thy throne, and reject me not from among thy children.
* For I am thy servant and son of thine handmaid.
℣. O send her out from the throne of thy glory, to be with me and to labour with me.

Quanta autem justítia sit, ex hoc intélligi potest, quod nec locis, nec persónis, nec tempóribus excípitur, quæ étiam hóstibus reservátur: ut si constitútus sit cum hoste aut locus aut dies prǽlio, advérsus justítiam putétur aut loco præveníre aut témpore. Interest enim utrum áliquis pugna áliqua et conflíctu gravi capiátur, an superióre grátia, vel áliquo evéntu. Si ergo in bello justítia valet, quanto magis in pace servánda est?

How far-spreading is the field of justice appeareth by this, that there is excepted therefrom no place, person, or time, nay, she hath to do even as regards enemies, for if one be agreed with his enemy of a certain place, or day for battle, it should be deemed unjust to fall on him beforehand, at some other place, or time. For it is a very different thing, whether one get the better of another in a hard fight, or by skill, or by accident. If therefore in war justice hath place, how much more is she to be observed in time of peace
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Fundaméntum ergo est justítiæ fides. Justórum enim corda meditántur fidem: et qui se justus accúsat, justítiam supra fidem cóllocat. Nam tunc justítia ejus appáret, si vera fateátur. Dénique et Dóminus per Isaíam: Ecce, inquit, mitto lápidem in fundaméntum Sion: id est, Christum in fundaméntum Ecclésiæ. Fides enim ómnium Christus: Ecclésia autem quædam forma justítiæ est, commúne jus ómnium: in commúne orat, in commúne operátur, in commúne tentátur. Dénique qui seípsum sibi ábnegat, ipse justus, ipse dignus Christo est. Ideo et Paulus fundaméntum pósuit Christum, ut supra eum ópera justítiæ locarémus, quia fides fundaméntum est.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Honour is the foundation of justice. The thoughts in the hearts of just men are honourable thoughts and when the just man accuseth himself, it is honour that bringeth him to that just deed. Then is his justice made manifest by his honourable avowal. The Lord saith by Isaiah " Behold, I lay in Zion a foundation-stone" xxviii. 16, that is to say, He giveth Christ unto the Church to be her foundation. Christ is the true honour for all men, and the Church is as it were a figure of justice, being a commonwealth wherein all have rights, and which worketh as one, and suffereth as one. Whosoever denieth himself, the same is just, and worthy of Christ. Therefore also Paul saith " Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ " I Cor. iii. 11 , and upon that foundation is it, that every building of justice must be raised. For the spirit of Christ is the true spirit of honour which is the foundation whereon justice resteth.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Lord, remove far from me vanity and lies.
* Give me neither poverty nor riches, but feed me with food convenient for me.
℣. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die.
℟. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but feed me with food convenient for me.

℟. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but feed me with food convenient for me.

Psalm 9(22-32) [7]
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.
9:26 Thy judgments are removed from his sight: * he shall rule over all his enemies.
9:27 For he hath said in his heart: * I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
9:28 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: * under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
9:29 He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, * that he may kill the innocent.
9:30 His eyes are upon the poor man: * he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den.
9:30 He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: * so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
9:31 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.

9:35 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: * that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
9:35 To thee is the poor man left: * thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
9:36 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: * his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
9:37 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: * ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
9:38 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: * thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 10:23-37
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them. And so on.

Homily by the Venerable Bede, Priest at Jarrow.
Bk. iii. ch. 43 on Luke x.
Blessed were the eyes not of Scribes and Pharisees, which saw but the Body of the Lord, but those eyes, eyes blessed indeed, which were able to see those things whereof it is written "Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." Blessed are the eyes of those little ones unto whom it seemeth good in the eyes of the Son to reveal Himself and the Father also. Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Christ and he saw it, and was glad. John viii. 56. Isaiah, and Micah, and many among the Prophets, saw the glory of the Lord, wherefore also they be called Seers, but all they beheld it and hailed it afar off, seeing but as through a glass, darkly. 1 Cor. xiii. 12.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. O Lord, Father and God of my life, leave me not to evil counsels; give me not a proud look, but turn away from me an haughty mind, O Lord turn away from me concupiscence,
* And give me not over unto an impudent and froward mind, O Lord!
℣. Leave me not, O Lord, lest mine ignorance increase, and my sins abound.

Otherwise were the Apostles, who saw the Lord face to Face, eating with Him, and learning from Him by asking whatsoever they listed. For them there was no need to be taught by Angels, or the shifting fabric of visions. They whom Luke doth call Prophets and kings, Matthew nameth as "Prophets and righteous men" xiii. 17. Righteous men are indeed mighty kings, who know how to lord it over their own rebellious temptations, instead of falling under them to become their slaves.

Reading 9
"And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" This lawyer, who stood up to ask the Lord a tempting question touching eternal life, took the subject of his asking, as I think, from the words which the Lord had just uttered, when He said "Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven". But his attempt was a proof of the truth of that which the Lord immediately added "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes!"
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Hymnus
Jam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.

Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.

Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.

Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.

Deo Patri sit glória,
Ejúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Hymn
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.

May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.

That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

Martyrologium (anticip.)
August 13th 2018, the 2nd day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

At Rome, [in the year 258,] the blessed martyr Hippolytus. Such was the glory of his confession, under the Emperor Valerian, that after other torments his feet were tied to the necks of unbroken horses, and he was thus cruelly dragged through thistles and thorns until his whole body was torn and he gave up the ghost.
Upon the same day there suffered his nurse, the blessed Concordia, who was beaten to death with scourges loaded with lead, and passed away.
At Imola, [in the fourth century,] the holy martyr Cassian. When he refused to worship idols the persecutors called for the boys to whom he had become hateful while teaching them, and gave them permission to kill him, and the weaker their hands were the greater were his sufferings through the delay of death.
At Todi, [in Umbria,] under the Emperor Diocletian, the holy martyr Cassian, Bishop [of that see.]
At Burgos, in Spain, the holy martyrs Centolla and Helen.
At Constantinople, [in the year 662,] the holy monk Maximus, famous for his teaching and zeal for Catholic truth. He vigorously contended against the Monothelites, and the heretical Emperor Constans cut away his hands and tongue, and banished him to the Crimea, where he gave up the ghost. At the same time the two Anastasii, his disciples, and many others, suffered diverse torments and were sent into hard banishments.
In Germany, [in the year 747,] the holy Confessor Wigbert the Priest.
At Poitiers, [in the year 587,] the holy Queen Radegundis, whose life was famous for miracles and graces.
At Rome, [in the year 1621,] holy John Berchmans, a scholastic of the Society of Jesus, illustrious for the innocency of his life and his observance of the discipline of his Institute, to whom the supreme Pontiff Leo XIII decreed the honours paid to the Saints in heaven.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.

With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.

And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.

Psalm 113 [5]
113:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
113:2 Judea was made his sanctuary, * Israel his dominion.
113:3 The sea saw and fled: * Jordan was turned back.
113:4 The mountains skipped like rams, * and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
113:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: * and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
113:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, * and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
113:7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, * at the presence of the God of Jacob:
113:8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, * and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
113:9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; * but to thy name give glory.
113:10 For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: * lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?
113:11 But our God is in heaven: * he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
113:12 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, * the works of the hands of men.
113:13 They have mouths and speak not: * they have eyes and see not.
113:14 They have ears and hear not: * they have noses and smell not.
113:15 They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: * neither shall they cry out through their throat.
113:16 Let them that make them become like unto them: * and all such as trust in them.
113:17 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
113:18 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.

113:21 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, * both little and great.
113:22 May the Lord add blessings upon you: * upon you, and upon your children.
113:23 Blessed be you of the Lord, * who made heaven and earth.
113:24 The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: * but the earth he has given to the children of men.
113:25 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: * nor any of them that go down to hell.
113:26 But we that live bless the Lord: * from this time now and for ever.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Psalter for the day of the week}
2 Cor 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Hymn
O blest Creator of the light,
Who mak’st the day with radiance bright,
And o’er the forming world didst call
The light from chaos first of all;

Whose wisdom joined in meet array
The morn and eve, and named them day:
Night comes with all its darkling fears;
Regard thy people’s prayers and tears.

Lest, sunk in sin, and whelmed with strife,
They lose the gift of endless life;
While thinking but the thoughts of time,
They weave new chains of woe and crime.

But grant them grace that they may strain
The heavenly gate and prize to gain:
Each harmful lure aside to cast,
And purge away each error past.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

℣. O Lord, direct my prayer.
℟. As incense in thy sight.

90:13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: * and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
90:14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: * I will protect him because he hath known my name.
90:15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: * I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
90:16 I will fill him with length of days; * and I will shew him my salvation.

Hymn
Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
