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

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iste Confessor Dómini coléntes,
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus meruit beatas,
Scandere sedes.
Qui pius, prudens, humilis, pudicus,
Sobriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humanos animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans meritum, frequenter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuere membra,
Viribus morbi domitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequentem
Concinit laudem celebresque palmas,
Ut piis ejus precibus juvemur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli solio coruscans,
Totius mundi seriem gubernat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
Erst on this feast-day merited to enter
Into his glory.
Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life's vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.
His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth's mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

54:2 Contristátus sum in exercitatióne mea: * et conturbátus sum a voce inimíci, et a tribulatióne peccatóris.
54:3 Quóniam declinavérunt in me iniquitátes: * et in ira molésti erant mihi.
54:4 Cor meum conturbátum est in me: * et formído mortis cécidit super me.
54:5 Timor et tremor venérunt super me: * et contexérunt me ténebræ.
54:6 Et dixi: Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut colúmbæ, * et volábo, et requiéscam?
54:7 Ecce, elongávi fúgiens: * et mansi in solitúdine.
54:8 Exspectábam eum, qui salvum me fecit * a pusillanimitáte spíritus et tempestáte.
54:9 Præcípita, Dómine, dívide linguas eórum: * quóniam vidi iniquitátem, et contradictiónem in civitáte.
54:10 Die ac nocte circúmdabit eam super muros ejus iníquitas: * et labor in médio ejus, et injustítia.
54:11 Et non defécit de platéis ejus * usúra, et dolus.
54:12 Quóniam si inimícus meus maledixísset mihi, * sustinuíssem útique.
54:13 Et si is, qui óderat me, super me magna locútus fuísset, * abscondíssem me fórsitan ab eo.

Psalm 54 [2]
54:1 Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication: * be attentive to me and hear me.
54:2 I am grieved in my exercise; * and am troubled, at the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner.
54:3 For they have cast iniquities upon me; * and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
54:4 My heart is troubled within me: * and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
54:5 Fear and trembling are come upon me: * and darkness hath covered me.
54:6 And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, * and I will fly and be at rest?
54:7 Lo, I have gone far off flying away; * and I abode in the wilderness.
54:8 I waited for him that hath saved me * from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
54:9 Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; * for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
54:10 Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: * and in the midst thereof are labour, and injustice.
54:11 And usury and deceit * have not departed from its streets.
54:12 For if my enemy had reviled me, * I would verily have borne with it.
54:13 And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, * I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
54:14 But thou a man of one mind, * my guide, and my familiar.
54:15 Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: * in the house of God we walked with consent.
54:16 Let death come upon them, * and let them go down alive into hell.
54:16 For there is wickedness in their dwellings: * in the midst of them.
54:17 But I have cried to God: * and the Lord will save me.
54:18 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: * and he shall hear my voice.
54:19 He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: * for among many they were with me.
54:20 God shall hear, * and the Eternal shall humble them.
54:21 For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God: * he hath stretched forth his hand to repay.
54:22 They have defiled his covenant, they are divided by the wrath of his countenance, * and his heart hath drawn near.
54:23 His words are smoother than oil, * and the same are darts.
54:24 Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: * he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
54:24 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down * into the pit of destruction.
54:24 Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; * but I will trust in thee, O 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.

55:6 Inhabitábunt et abscóndent: * ipsi calcáneum meum observábunt.
55:7 Sicut sustinuérunt ánimam meam, pro níhilo salvos fácies illos: * in ira pópulos confrínges.
55:8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: * posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo.
55:9 Sicut et in promissióne tua: * tunc converténtur inimíci mei retrórsum:
55:10 In quacúmque die invocávero te: * ecce, cognóvi, quóniam Deus meus es.
55:11 In Deo laudábo verbum, in Dómino laudábo sermónem: * in Deo sperávi, non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.
55:12 In me sunt, Deus, vota tua, * quæ reddam, laudatiónes tibi.
55:13 Quóniam eripuísti ánimam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: * ut pláceam coram Deo in lúmine vivéntium.

55:3 From the height of the day I shall fear: * but I will trust in thee.
55:4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: * I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
55:5 All the day long they detested my words: * all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
55:6 They will dwell and hide themselves: * they will watch my heel.
55:7 As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: * in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.
55:8 O God, I have declared to thee my life: * thou hast set my tears in thy sight,
55:9 As also in thy promise. * Then shall my enemies be turned back.
55:10 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * behold I know thou art my God.
55:11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. * In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
55:12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, * which I will pay, praises to thee:
55:13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: * that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
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.

Psalm 57 [5]

57:2 For in your heart you work iniquity: * your hands forge injustice in the earth.
57:3 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: * they have spoken false things.
57:4 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: * like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
57:5 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; * nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
57:6 God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: * the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
57:7 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; * he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
57:8 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: * fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
57:9 Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, * as alive, in his wrath.
57:10 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: * he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

Gregorius, nobilis Cappadox, ex singulari divinarum Litterarum scientia Theologi cognomen consecutus, Nazianzi in Cappadocia natus, Athenis in omni disciplinarum genere una cum sancto Basilio eruditus, ad studia sacrarum Litterarum se convertit, in quibus se in coenobio per aliquot annos exercuerunt, illarum sententiam non ex proprio ingenio, sed ex majorum ratione et auctoritate interpretantes. Qui cum doctrina et vitae sanctitate florerent, vocati ad munus praedicandae evangelicae veritatis, plurimos Jesu Christo filios pepererunt.

Reading 4
Gregory, to whom, is commonly given, on account of his extraordinary depth of sacred learning, the title of " the Divine," was a noble Cappadocian, born at Nazianzus in that country, and educated at Athens along with St Basil, with whom likewise, when they had acquired knowledge in divers branches of earthly learning, he gave himself up to learn the things of God. This they did for some years in a Monastery, framing their opinions, not out of their own heads, but according to the interpretation arrived at by the wisdom and decision of the antients. They were both distinguished by power of doctrine and holiness of life they were both called to the duty of preaching the Gospel of truth and through the Gospel they both begat many sons unto Christ.

Gregorius igitur aliquando domum reversus, primum Sasimorum episcopus creatus est, deinde Nazianzenam ecclesiam administravit. Tum Constantinopolim ad eam regendam ecclesiam accersitus, cum civitatem haeresum purgatam erroribus ad catholicam fidem reduxisset, quod ei summum omnium amorem conciliare debebat, multorum paravit invidiam. Itaque cum inter episcopos magna propterea esset facta seditio, sponte cedens episcopatu, illud prophetae dictum usurpavit: Si propter me commota est ista tempestas, dejicite me in mare, ut vos jactari desinatis. Quare Nazianzum reversus, cum illi ecclesiae Eulalium praeficiendum curasset, totum se ad contemplationem et scriptionem divinarum rerum contulit.

Reading 5
Gregory after a while returned home. He was first made Bishop of Sasima, and afterwards administered the Church at Nazianzus. Then he was called to rule the Church of Constantinople. That city, which he found reeking with heresy, he purged, and brought again to the Catholic faith. But this, which deserved for him the warmest love of all men, raised up many enemies. Among the Bishops themselves there was a great party against him, and to still their contentions, he, of his own free will, gave up his see, saying with the Prophet Jonah "Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea so shall the sea be calm unto you for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you," i. 12. So he went his way back again to Nazianzus, and when he had seen that Eulalius was set over that Church, he gave himself up altogether to think and write concerning the things of God.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.

Consubstantialitatis Filii fuit acerrimus propugnator. Ut autem vitae laude nemo ei praepositus est; sic et orationis gravitate omnes facile superavit.

Reading 6
He wrote much, both in prose and verse, with wonderful godliness and eloquence. According to the judgment of learned and holy men, there is nothing in his writings which anywhere strays from the line of true godliness and Catholic truth, and not a single word which any one can justly call in doubt. He was one of the latest champions of the doctrine that the Son is of one substance with the Father. No one has ever won greater praise for goodness of life, neither was any man more earnest in prayer. During the reign of the Emperor Theodosius he dwelt in the country after the manner of a monk, and unceasingly taken up with writing and reading, until, in a good old age, he laid down his earthly, to enter on an heavenly life.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Psalm 63 [10]
63:1 Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
63:2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
63:3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.
63:4 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.
63:5 They have talked of hiding snares; * they have said: Who shall see them?
63:6 They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.
63:7 Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.
63:8 The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.
63:9 All that saw them were troubled; * and every man was afraid.
63:10 And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.
63:11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
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.

Psalm 67 [12]
67:1 Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: * and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
67:2 As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: * as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
67:3 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: * and be delighted with gladness.
67:4 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, * make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: (bow head) The Lord is his name.
67:5 Rejoice ye before him: * but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence, who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows.
67:6 God in his holy place: * God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house:
67:7 Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; * in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
67:8 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, * when thou didst pass through the desert:
67:9 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sinai, * at the presence of the God of Israel.
67:10 Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, * O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
67:11 In it shall thy animals dwell; * in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
67:12 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings, * with great power.
67:13 The king of powers is of the beloved, * of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
67:14 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, * and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
67:15 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, * they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
67:16 The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a curdled mountain, a fat mountain; * Why suspect, ye curdled mountains?
67:17 A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: * for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
67:18 The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: * the Lord is among them in Sinai, in the holy place.
67:19 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; * thou hast received gifts in men.
67:20 Yea for those also that do not believe, * the dwelling of the Lord God.
67:21 Blessed be the Lord day by day: * the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
67:22 Our God is the God of salvation: * and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
67:23 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: * the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
67:24 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, * I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
67:24 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; * the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
67:25 They have seen thy goings, O God, * the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
67:26 Princes went before joined with singers, * in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
67:27 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, * from the fountains of Israel.
67:28 There is Benjamin a youth, * in ecstasy of mind.
67:29 The princes of Juda are their leaders: * the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
67:30 Command thy strength, O God: * confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
67:31 From thy temple in Jerusalem, * kings shall offer presents to thee.
67:32 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; * who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver.
67:33 Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars: ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: * Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
67:34 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: * sing ye to the Lord:
67:35 Sing ye to God, who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, * to the east.
67:36 Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power: * give ye glory to God for Israel, * his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
67:36 God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people; * blessed be God.

In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Vos estis sal terrae. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? It reliqua.
Homilia sancti Angustini Episcopi
Lib. 1 de Sermone Domini in monte, cap. 6
Ostendit Dominus fatuos esse judicandos, qui temporalium bonorum vel copiam sectantes vel inopiam metuentes, amittunt aeterna, quae nec dari possunt ab hominibus nec auferri. Itaque, si sal infatuatum fuerit, in quo salietur? Id est, si vos, per quos condiendi sunt quodammodo populi, metu persecutionum temporalium amiseretis regna caelorum; qui erunt homines, per quos a vobis error auferatur, cum vos elegerit Deus, per quos errorem auferat ceterorum? Ergo ad nihilum valet sal infatuatum, nisi ut mittatur foras et calcetur ab hominibus. Non itaque calcatur ab hominibus qui patititur persecutionem; sed qui, persecutionem timendo, infatuatur. Calcari enim non potest nisi inferior; sed inferior non est, qui, quamvis corpore multa in terra sustineat, corde tamen fixus in caelo est.

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.
