Psalm 77(17-31) [3]
77:17 And they added yet more sin against him: * they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
77:18 And they tempted God in their hearts, * by asking meat for their desires.
77:19 And they spoke ill of God: * they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
77:20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, * and the streams overflowed.
77:21 Can he also give bread, * or provide a table for his people?
77:22 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: * and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
77:23 Because they believed not in God: * and trusted not in his salvation.
77:24 And he had commanded the clouds from above, * and had opened the doors of heaven.
77:25 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, * and had given them the bread of heaven.
77:26 Man ate the bread of angels: * he sent them provisions in abundance.
77:27 He removed the south wind from heaven: * and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
77:28 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: * and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
77:29 And they fell in the midst of their camp, * round about their pavilions.
77:30 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: * they were not defrauded of that which they craved.
77:31 As yet their meat was in their mouth: * and the wrath of God came upon them.

Psalm 77(42-58) [5]
77:42 They remembered not his hand, * in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
77:43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, * and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
77:44 And he turned their rivers into blood, * and their showers that they might, not drink.
77:45 He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them: * and frogs which destroyed them.
77:46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, * and their labours to the locust.
77:47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, * and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
77:48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, * and their stock to the fire.
77:49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: * indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
77:50 He made a way for a path to his anger: * he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
77:51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: * the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
77:52 And he took away his own people as sheep: * and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
77:53 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: * and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
77:54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: * the mountain which his right hand had purchased.
77:55 And he cast out the Gentiles before them: * and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
77:56 And he made the tribes of Israel * to dwell in their tabernacles.
77:57 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: * and they kept not his testimonies.
77:58 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: * even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
77:58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: * and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
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.

Monica was twice over the mother of St Austin, for, under God, he owed to her both earth and heaven. When her husband was very old she made him a friend of Jesus Christ, and after his death she lived a widow in all purity and constantly occupied in works of mercy. Her son Austin had fallen into the heresy of the Manichaeans, and for his conversion she earnestly pleaded with God for years, with strong crying and tears. She followed Austin to Milan, and tenderly and constantly besought him to confer with Ambrose the Bishop. This he consented to do, and at last, through the public sermons and private conversations of Ambrose, his eyes were opened to see the truth of the Catholic Religion, and he received baptism at the Bishop's hands, at the Passover of the year 387.

The mother and son set out to return to their home in Africa, but after they had reached Ostia at the mouth of the Tiber, she was stricken down by a fever. One day as she lay sick, she came to herself after her mind had been long wandering, and said: "Where am I " Then she saw who were standing by, and said " Let your mother lie here only, remember me at the altar of the Lord." On the ninth day this blessed lady surrendered her spirit to God. Her body was buried there at Ostia in the Church of St Aurea, but, long after, in the Popedom of Martin V., it was carried to Rome and honourably buried again in the Church of St Augustine.

Atque inde paulatim reducebam in pristinum sensum ancillam tuam, conversationemque ejus piam in te et sanctam, in nos blandam atque morigeram, qua subito destitutus sum, et libuit flere de illa et pro illa; et si quis peccatum invenerit flevisse me matrem meam exigua parte horae, matrem oculis meis mortuam quae me multos annos fleverat, ut oculis suis

Confessions of St Austin. Bk. ix. ch. 12.
Austin added these words after describing his mother's death "We did not think that hers was a death which it was seemly to mark with repining, or tears, or lamentations, seeing that she died not sorrowfully, nor at all as touching her best and noblest part. This we knew, because we knew what her life had been, her faith unfeigned, her sure and certain hope. And then, nevertheless, I remembered again what thine handmaid was used to be, her walk with thee, how godly and holy it was, and with us so gentle and long-suffering and that it was all, gone away from me now. And I wept, over her and for her. And if any man will make it blame to me that I wept for a little while, when I saw lying dead before my eyes my mother, who had wept over me so many years, that she might see me live, I say, if any man will make it blame to me, I pray him not to sneer at me, but rather (if his charity be so great) himself to weep over my sins before thee, Who art a Father to all them to whom thy Christ is a Brother."
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain
* A woman that feareth God she shall be praised. Alleluia

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
Luke 7:11-16
In illo tempore: Ibat Jesus in civitatem, quae vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus, et turba copiosa. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Sermo 44. de Verbis Domini, circa init.
De juvene illo resuscitato gavisa est mater vidua: de hominibus in spiritu quotidie suscitatis gaudet mater Ecclesia. Ille quidem mortuus erat corpore: illi autem mente. Illius mors visibilis visibiliter plangebatur: illorum mors invisibilis nec quaerebatur, nec videbatur. Quaesivit ille, qui noverat mortuos. Ille solus noverat mortuos, qui poterat facere vivos. Nisi enim ad mortuos suscitandos venisset, Apostolus non diceret: Surge, qui dormis, et exsurge a mortuis, et illuminabit te Christus.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Os suum aperuit sapientiae, et lex clementiae in lingua ejus: consideravit semitas domus suae,
* Et panem otiosa non comedit. Alleluia
V. Gustavit et vidit quia bona est negotiatio ejus: non exstinguetur in nocte lucerna ejus.
R. Et panem otiosa non comedit. Alleluia

Reading 7
From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 7:11-16
At that time Jesus went into a city called Naim; and His disciples went with Him, and much people. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.)
44th Discourse on the Words of the Lord.
That her son was called, again to life was the joy of that widowed mother that souls of men are every day called to life is the joy of our Mother the Church. He was dead in body they have been dead in mind. His death was outward, and was outwardly bewailed their inward death hath been neither mourned for nor seen. But He hath sought for them, Who hath seen that they are dead, and He only hath seen that they are dead, Who hath been able to make them alive. If He had not come to raise the dead, the Apostle had not said: "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." (Eph. v. 14.)
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household
* And eateth not the bread of idleness. Alleluia
V. She tasteth and perceiveth that her merchandise is good. Her candle goeth not out by night.
R. And she eateth not the bread of idleness. Alleluia

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum colimus, ipsa intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Tres autem mortuos invenimus a Domino resuscitatos visibiliter, millia invisibiliter. Quot autem mortuos visibiliter suscitaverit, quis novit? Non enim omnia, quae fecit, scripta sunt. Joannes hoc dixit: Multa alia fecit Jesus: quae si scripta essent, arbitror totum mundum non posse libros capere. Multi ergo sunt alii sine dubio suscitati, sed non tres frustra commemorati. Dominus enim noster Jesus Christus ea quae faciebat corporaliter, etiam spiritaliter
volebat intelligi. Neque enim tantum miracula propter miracula faciebat: sed ut illa, quae faciebat, mira essent videntibus, vera essent intelligentibus.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Regnum mundi, et omnem ornatum saeculi contempsi, propter amorem Domini mei Jesu Christi:
* Quem vidi, quem amavi, in quem credidi, quem dilexi. Alleluia
V. Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi.
R. Quem vidi, quem amavi, in quem credidi, quem dilexi. Alleluia
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Quem vidi, quem amavi, in quem credidi, quem dilexi. Alleluia

Benediction. She whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen
Reading 8
It is written how the Lord raised from the dead three persons visibly, but thousands invisibly. But how many they may have been whom He raised visibly, who knoweth? For all the things which He did are not written. John saith thus: "There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." xxi. 25. There were then, doubtless, many more raised to life, but it is not meaningless that three are recorded. For our Lord Jesus Christ hath willed that those things which He did carnally, we should understand also spiritually. He worked not miracles only for the sake of working wonders, but that His works might be at once wonderful to them that beheld, and true to them that understand them.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The kingdom of this world and all the beauty of life I have esteemed as nothing, for the excellency of the love of Jesus Christ my Lord
* Whom, having seen, I loved Whom, having believed, I longed after. Alleluia
V. My heart is overflowing with a good matter I speak of my works unto the King.
R. Whom, having seen, I loved Whom, having believed, I longed after. Alleluia
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Whom, having seen, I loved Whom, having believed, I longed after. Alleluia

Lectio 9
Quemadmodum qui videt litteras in codice optime scripto, et non novit legere, laudat quidem antiquarii manum, admirans apicum pulchritudinem: sed quid sibi
velint, quid indicent illi apices, nescit, et est oculis laudator, mente non cognitor. Alius autem et laudat artificium, et capit intellectum: ille utique, qui non solum videre quod commune est 6mnibus, potest, sed etiam legere; quod qui non didicit, non potest. Ita qui viderunt Christi miracula, et non intellexerunt quid sibi vellent, et quid intelligentibus quodammodo innuerent, mirati sunt tantum quia facta sunt: alii
vero et factam irati, et intellecta assecuti. Tales nos in schola Christi esse debemus.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
Te Deum
Te Deum laudámus: * te Dóminum confitémur.
Te ætérnum Patrem * omnis terra venerátur.
Tibi omnes Angeli, * tibi Cæli, et univérsæ Potestates:

(Fit reverentia) Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus * Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
Pleni sunt cæli et terra * majestátis glóriæ tuæ.
Te gloriósus * Apostolórum chorus,
Te Prophetárum * laudábilis númerus,
Te Mártyrum candidátus * laudat exércitus.
Te per orbem terrárum * sancta confitétur Ecclésia,
Patrem * imménsæ majestátis;
Venerándum tuum verum * et únicum Fílium;
Sanctum quoque * Paráclitum Spíritum.
Tu Rex glóriæ, * Christe.
Tu Patris * sempitérnus es Fílius.
Fit reverentia
Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem: * non horruísti Vírginis uterum.
Tu, devícto mortis acúleo, * aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.
Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes, * in glória Patris.
Judex créderis * esse ventúrus.
Sequens versus dicitur flexis genibus
Te ergo quæsumus, tuis fámulis súbveni, * quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
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.
Miserére nostri, Dómine, * miserére nostri.
Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.

Reading 9
Even as one that looketh upon a scroll right fairly written, and knoweth not how to read therein, praiseth the hand of the old scribe when he seeth the beauty of the points, but what it saith, what those points mean, he knoweth not, and praiseth by the eye, without understanding by the mind, and as, on the other hand, he that can not only gaze on it, as can all men, but also can read it, praiseth the penmanship, and catcheth the sense likewise, which the unlearned cannot do even so, there were some that saw the miracles which Christ did, and understood not what they meant, nor what they, as it were, hinted to such as did understand them, and these only marvelled to see them wrought. And other some there were which saw the works, and marvelled, and understood them, and profited by them. And it is as these last that we ought to be in the school of Christ.
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.
