Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum temporum}
Summæ Parens cleméntiæ,
Mundi regis qui machinam,
Unius et substantiæ,
Trinusque persónis Deus:
Nostros pius cum canticis
Fletus benígne suscipe:
Ut corde puro sordium
Te perfruámur largius.
Lumbos jecurque morbidum
Flammis adure congruis,
Accincti ut artus excubent,
Luxu remoto pessimo.
Quicúmque ut horas noctium
Nunc concinéndo rumpimus,
Ditemur omnes affatim
Donis beátæ pátriæ.
* 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}
Great God of boundless mercy hear;
Thou Ruler of this earthly sphere;
In substance one, in persons three,
Dread Trinity in Unity!
Do thou in love accept our lays
Of mingled penitence and praise;
And set our hearts from error free,
More fully to rejoice in thee.
Our reins and hearts in pity heal,
And with thy chastening fires anneal;
Gird Thou our loins, each passion quell,
And every harmful lust expel.
Now as our anthems, upward borne,
Awake the silence of the morn,
Enrich us with thy gifts of grace,
From heaven, thy blissful dwelling-place!
Hear thou our prayer, Almighty King!
Hear thou our praises, while we sing,
Adoring with the heavenly host,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Amen.

Lesson from the second book of Samuel
2 Sam 18:6-8
6 So the people went out into the field against Israel and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim.
7 And the people of Israel were defeated there by David's army, and a great slaughter was made that day of twenty thousand men.
8 And the battle there was scattered over the face of all the country, and there were many more of the people whom the forest consumed, than whom the sword devoured that day.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. My sins are many, yea, they are more in number than the sands of the sea; I am not worthy to look up toward heaven because of the multitude of my iniquities; for I have provoked thee to anger
* And done evil in thy sight.
V. For I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin is ever before me, for against thee only have I sinned
R. And done evil in thy sight.

9 Accidit autem ut occurreret Absalom servis David, sedens mulo: cumque ingressus fuisset mulus subter condensam quercum et magnam, adhaesit caput ejus quercui: et illo suspenso inter caelum et terram, mulus cui insederat, pertransivit.
10 Vidit autem hoc quispiam, et nuntiavit Joab, dicens: Vidi Absalom pendere de quercu.
11 Et ait Joab viro qui nuntiaverat ei: Si vidisti, quare non confodisti eum cum terra, et ego dedissem tibi decem argenti siclos, et unum balteum?
12 Qui dixit ad Joab: Si appenderes in manibus meis mille argenteos, nequaquam mitterem manum meam in filium regis: audientibus enim nobis praecepit rex tibi, et Abisai, et Ethai, dicens: Custodite mihi puerum Absalom.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

9 And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on.
10 And one saw this and told Joab, saying: I saw Absalom hanging upon an oak.
11 And Joab said to the man that told him: If thou sawest him, why didst thou not stab him to the ground, and I would have given thee ten sicles of silver, and belt?
12 And he said to Joab: If thou wouldst have paid down in my hands a thousand pieces of silver, I would not lay my hands upon the king's son: for in our hearing he king charged thee, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom.
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,

14 Et ait Joab: Non sicut tu vis, sed aggrediar eum coram te. Tulit ergo tres lanceas in manu sua, et infixit eas in corde Absalom: cumque adhuc palpitaret haerens in quercu,
15 Cucurrerunt decem juvenes armigeri Joab, et percutientes interfecerunt eum.
16 Cecinit autem Joab buccina, et retinuit populum, ne persequeretur fugientem Israël, volens parcere multitudini.
17 Et tulerunt Absalom, et projecerunt eum in saltu, in foveam grandem, et comportaverunt super eum acervum lapidum magnum nimis.

14 And Joab said: Not as thou wilt, but will set upon him in thy sight. So he took three lances in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom: and whilst he yet panted for life, sticking on the oak,
15 Ten young men, armourbearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him slew him.
16 And Joab sounded the trumpet, and kept back the people from pursuing after Israel in their flight, being willing to spare he multitude.
17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and they laid an exceeding great heap of stones upon him: but all Israel fled to their own dwellings.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

105:1 Confitémini Dómino, quóniam bonus: * quóniam in sæculum misericórdia ejus.
105:2 Quis loquétur poténtias Dómini, * audítas fáciet omnes laudes ejus?
105:3 Beáti, qui custódiunt judícium, * et fáciunt justítiam in omni témpore.
105:4 Meménto nostri, Dómine, in beneplácito pópuli tui: * vísita nos in salutári tuo:
105:5 Ad vidéndum in bonitáte electórum tuórum, ad lætándum in lætítia gentis tuæ: * ut laudéris cum hereditáte tua.
105:6 Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris: * injúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus.
105:7 Patres nostri in Ægýpto non intellexérunt mirabília tua: * non fuérunt mémores multitúdinis misericórdiæ tuæ.
105:8 Et irritavérunt ascendéntes in mare, * Mare Rubrum.
105:9 Et salvávit eos propter nomen suum: * ut notam fáceret poténtiam suam.
105:10 Et incrépuit Mare Rubrum, et exsiccátum est, * et dedúxit eos in abýssis sicut in desérto.

Nocturn II.
Ant. The Lord saved them * for his own name's sake.
Psalm 105(1-15) [4]
105:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
105:2 Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? * who shall set forth all his praises?
105:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, * and do justice at all times.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: * visit us with thy salvation.
105:5 That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: * that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
105:6 We have sinned with our fathers: * we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
105:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: * they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies:
105:8 And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, * even the Red Sea.
105:9 And he saved them for his own name's sake: * that he might make his power known.
105:10 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
105:11 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
105:12 And the water covered them that afflicted them: * there was not one of them left.
105:13 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises.
105:14 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels.
105:15 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water.
105:15 And he gave them their request: * and sent fulness into their souls.
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. The Lord saved them * for his own name's sake.

Ant. Oblíti sunt Deum * qui salvávit eos.
Psalmus 105(16-28) [5]
105:16 Et irritavérunt Moysen in castris: * Aaron, sanctum Dómini.
105:17 Apérta est terra, et deglutívit Dathan: * et opéruit super congregatiónem Abíron.
105:18 Et exársit ignis in synagóga eorum * flamma combússit peccatóres.
105:19 Et fecérunt vítulum in Horeb * et adoravérunt scúlptile.
105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis foenum.
105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:22 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus ejus, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu ejus:
105:23 Ut avérteret iram ejus ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:24 Non credidérunt verbo ejus, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:25 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:
105:26 Et ut dejíceret semen eórum in natiónibus: * et dispérgeret eos in regiónibus.
105:27 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.
105:28 Et irritavérunt eum in adinventiónibus suis: * et multiplicáta est in eis ruína.
105:28 Et stetit Phínees, et placávit: * et cessávit quassátio.

Ant. They forgot God * who saved them.
Psalm 105(16-28) [5]
105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, * Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: * and covered the congregation of Abiron.
105:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation: * the flame burned the wicked.
105:19 They made also a calf in Horeb: * and they adored the graven thing.
105:20 And they changed their glory * into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
105:21 They forgot God, who saved them, * who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
105:22 And he said that he would destroy them: * had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach:
105:23 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land.
105:24 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
105:25 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert;
105:26 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries.
105:27 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
105:28 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and destruction was multiplied among them.
105:28 Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: * and the slaughter ceased.
105:28 And it was reputed to him unto justice, * to generation and generation for evermore.
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. They forgot God * who saved them.

Ant. Cum tribularéntur * vidit Dóminus: et audívit oratiónem eórum.
Psalmus 105(29-48) [6]
105:29 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum ejus.
105:30 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt Gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:31 Et commísti sunt inter Gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:32 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et filias suas dæmóniis.
105:33 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:34 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:35 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.
105:36 Et trádidit eos in manus Géntium: * et domináti sunt eórum qui odérunt eos.
105:37 Et tribulavérunt eos inimíci eórum, et humiliáti sunt sub mánibus eórum: * sæpe liberávit eos.
105:38 Ipsi autem exacerbavérunt eum in consílio suo: * et humiliáti sunt in iniquitátibus suis.
105:39 Et vidit, cum tribularéntur: * et audívit oratiónem eórum.
105:40 Et memor fuit testaménti sui: * et poenítuit eum secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ suæ.
105:41 Et dedit eos in misericórdias * in conspéctu ómnium qui céperant eos.
105:42 Salvos nos fac, Dómine, Deus noster: * et cóngrega nos de natiónibus:
105:43 Ut confiteámur nómini sancto tuo: * et gloriémur in laude tua.

Ant. And he saw when they were in tribulation * and he heard their prayer.
Psalm 105(29-48) [6]
105:29 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit.
105:30 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
105:31 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them.
105:32 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils.
105:33 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.
105:34 And the land was polluted with blood, and was defiled with their works: * and they went aside after their own inventions.
105:35 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance.
105:36 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: * and they that hated them had dominion over them.
105:37 And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: * many times did he deliver them.
105:38 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities.
105:39 And he saw when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer.
105:40 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
105:41 And he gave them unto mercies, * in the sight of all those that had made them
105:42 Save us, O Lord, our God: * and gather us from among nations:
105:43 That we may give thanks to thy holy name, * and may glory in thy praise.

Bonaventure was born at Bagnarea in Tuscany, in the year of our Lord 1221. In his infancy he was dangerously ill, and his mother made a vow that, if he recovered, she would dedicate him to the Order of Blessed Francis. While he was still a young man he entered the Order by his own wish. Under the teaching of Alexander of Hales he advanced so quickly in learning, that in seven years he lectured publicly at Paris on the Books of the Sentences, with great applause. He afterwards explained the same Books by a brilliant Commentary. After six years he was made General Master of his Order at Rome, in which office he did his duty with such wisdom and holiness as caused all men to talk of him and marvel at him.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I have found David My servant, with My holy oil have I anointed him
* For My hand shall help him.
V. The enemy shall prevail nothing against him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

He was the author of many books, in which the depth of his learning and the earnestness of his godliness affect the reader and teach him at the same time. Gregory X., moved by his reputation for wisdom and holiness, created him a Cardinal and Bishop of Albano. Blessed Thomas of Aquino gave him the title of Saint even during his life -time. It fell on this wise. Thomas found him writing the Life of St Francis, and said, Let us leave one Saint to work for the other. He departed this life at the Council of Lyons, upon the 14th day of July 1274, being of the age of 53 years, and having worked many miracles. Pope Sixtus IV. numbered him among the Saints.

From the Book of Moral Reflection on Job, written by Pope St Gregory the Great.
Bk. ix. ch. vi.
In the Book of Job ix. 9, it is written that it is God which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Hyades. Now if by the constellation Orion be mystically signified the spiritual constellation of the holy Martyrs, whom can we understand to be named after them under the title of the Hyades, but the Doctors of the Holy Church? When the glorious constellation of the Martyrs had set, and the light of the faith grew stronger, then appeared the constellation of the Doctors in the firmament of the Church, even in that spring-time when the winter of unbelief was past, and the Sun of truth rose higher to shine on the hearts of His faithful ones. The storms of persecution were gone, and the long nights of unbelief were over then rose the Doctors to shine on the Church, when the springtime of belief promised her a brighter year.
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 the whole earth is full of his teaching
* May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them
V. This is he which loved not his life in this world, and hath attained unto the kingdom of heaven.
R. May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them

106:9 For he hath satisfied the empty soul, * and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
106:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * bound in want and in iron.
106:11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: * and provoked the counsel of the most High:
106:12 And their heart was humbled with labours: * they were weakened, and there was none to help them.
106:13 Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.

106:16 Because he hath broken gates of brass, * and burst the iron bars.
106:17 He took them out of the way of their iniquity: * for they were brought low for their injustices.
106:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: * and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
106:19 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:20 He sent his word, and healed them: * and delivered them from their destructions.
106:21 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men
106:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: * and declare his works with joy.
106:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, * doing business in the great waters:
106:24 These have seen the works of the Lord, * and his wonders in the deep.
106:25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: * and the waves thereof were lifted up.
106:26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: * their soul pined away with evils.
106:27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; * and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
106:28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he brought them out of their distresses.
106:29 And he turned the storm into a breeze: * and its waves were still.
106:30 And they rejoiced because they were still: * and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
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. These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders.

106:37 Et seminavérunt agros, et plantavérunt víneas: * et fecérunt fructum nativitátis.

106:40 Effúsa est contémptio super príncipes: * et erráre fecit eos in ínvio, et non in via.
106:41 Et adjúvit páuperem de inópia: * et pósuit sicut oves famílias.
106:42 Vidébunt recti, et lætabúntur: * et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.

106:31 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:32 And let them exalt him in the church of the people: * and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
106:33 He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: * and the sources of water into dry ground:
106:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, * for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
106:35 He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, * and a dry land into water springs.
106:36 And hath placed there the hungry; * and they made a city for their habitation.
106:37 And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: * and they yielded fruit of birth.
106:38 And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: * and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
106:39 Then they were brought to be few: * and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
106:40 Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: *and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
106:41 And he helped the poor out of poverty: * and made him families like a flock of sheep.
106:42 The just shall see, and shall rejoice, * and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
106:43 Who is wise, and will keep these things: * and will understand the mercies of the Lord?

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
Matt 5:13-19
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Vos estis sal terrae. Quod si sal evanuerit, in quo salietur? Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Joannis Chrysostomi.
Homilia 15 in Matthaeum, sub medium.
Attendite quid dixerit, Vos estis sal terrae: per quod ostendit quam necessario ista praecipiat. Non enim de vestra, inquit, tantummodo vita, sed de universo orbe vobis ratio reddenda est. Non ad duas quippe urbes, aut decem, aut viginti, neque ad unam gentem vos mitto, sicut mittebam prophetas: sed ad omnem terram prorsus ac mare, totumque mundum, et hunc variis criminibus oppressum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Amavit eum Dominus, et ornavit eum: stolam gloriae induit eum

Reading 7
From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 5:13-19
At that time : Jesus said unto His disciples : Ye are the salt of the earth. But if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted ? And so on.
Homily by St John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople.
15/A on Matth.
Consider how that the Lord saith : "Ye are the salt of the earth," by the which figure He showeth what a necessary of life is the Gospel. By this figure, He hath us to know that they unto whom He spake have an account to render, not of their own life only, but for the whole world. Not unto two cities, saith the Lord, nor unto ten, nor unto twenty, nor unto one people, as I sent the Prophets, send I you. But I send you unto every land and sea, even unto the whole world, lying groaning, as it is, under the burden of divers sins.
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.
R. And crowned him at the gates of Paradise.

Benedictio. Cujus festum colimus, ipse intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Dicendo enim, Vos estis sal terrae, ostendit universam hominum infatuatam esse naturam, et peccatorum vi corruptam: et idcirco illas ab eis virtutes requirit, quae maxime ad multorum salutem procurandam necessariae sunt atque utiles. Nam qui mansuetus est ac modestus, et misericors et justus, non intra se tantummodo haec recte facta concludit, verum in aliorum quoque utilitatem praeclaros hos faciet effluere fontes. Igitur qui corde mundo est atque pacificus, et persecutionem pro veritate patitur, nihilominus in commune commodum vitam instituit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. In medio Ecclesiae aperuit os ejus
* Et implevit eum Dominus spiritu sapientiae et intellectus.
V. Jucunditatem et exsultationem thesaurizavit super eum.
R. Et implevit eum Dominus spiritu sapientiae et intellectus.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et implevit eum Dominus spiritu sapientiae et intellectus.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen.
Reading 8
These words, "Ye are the salt of the earth," show unto us the whole nature of man as savourless and stinking with the strong corruption of sin. And therefore demandeth He of His Apostles such qualities as are most needful and useful to the furthering the salvation of many. He that is gentle and lowly, tender and just, shutteth not up all these good things in his own heart, but openeth these bright fountains that they may gush forth for the use of his neighbour. He whose heart is pure, and who seeketh peace, suffering persecution for the truth's sake, doth still lead a life for the good of the commonwealth.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. In the midst of the congregation did the Lord open his mouth.
* And filled him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding.
V. He made him rich with joy and gladness.
R. And filled him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And filled him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding.

Lectio 9
Ne igitur putetis, inquit, ad levia vos ducendos esse certamina, neque exiguarum rerum vobis ineundam esse rationem. Vos estis sal terrae. Quid igitur? Ipsine putrefacta medicati sunt? Nequaquam: neque enim fieri potest, ut ea quae jam corrupta sunt, salis perfricatione reparentur. Non ergo hoc fecerunt, sed ante renovata, sibique tradita, atque ab illa jam putredine liberata, aspergebant sale, et in ea novitate conservabant, quam a Domino susceperant. Liberare quippe a putredine peccatorum, Christi virtutis est: ut autem ad illa iterum non revertantur, Apostolorum curae est ac laboris.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
Te Deum
Te Deum laudámus: * te Dóminum confitémur.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra * majestátis glóriæ tuæ.

Et laudámus nomen tuum in sæculum, * et in sæculum sæculi.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 9
Think not, saith the Lord, that the struggle is easy whereunto ye shall be led, neither shall your reckoning be of light matters. Ye are the salt of the earth. Have ye then salted that which is corrupted? Nay, for it is impossible that that which is once corrupted can be made sound again by the rubbing it with salt. This it is not asked of them to do. But their work is to sprinkle with salt, and to keep fresh thereafter, such things as the Lord hath given over into their charge, and which He Himself hath made new, and freed from all taint, before giving them. To make sound after the corruption of sin, is the work of Christ's power alone ; to preserve from falling away again, is the duty and the toil commanded to the Apostles.
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.
