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.

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

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.

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.

26:5 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
26:6 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prælium, * in hoc ego sperábo.

26:6 Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini, * et vísitem templum ejus.
26:6 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.

Psalm 26 [1]
26:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, * whom shall I fear?
26:2 The Lord is the protector of my life: * of whom shall I be afraid?
26:3 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, * to eat my flesh. * My enemies that trouble me, * have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
26:4 If armies in camp should stand together against me, * my heart shall not fear.
26:5 If a battle should rise up against me, * in this will I be confident.

26:6 Lord, * and may visit his temple.
26:6 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; * in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
26:6 He hath exalted me upon a rock: * and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies.
26:6 I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: * I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
26:7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: * have mercy on me and hear me.

26:10 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.

26:12 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, * and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
26:13 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; * for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.

27:5 Give them according to their works, * and according to the wickedness of their inventions.
27:6 According to the works of their hands give thou to them: * render to them their reward.

Ant. In tua justítia * líbera me Dómine
Psalmus 30 [5]
30:1 In te, Dómine, sperávi non confúndar in ætérnum: * in justítia tua líbera me.
30:2 Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * accélera ut éruas me.
30:3 Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in domum refúgii: * ut salvum me fácias.
30:4 Quóniam fortitúdo mea, et refúgium meum es tu: * et propter nomen tuum dedúces me, et enútries me.
30:5 Edúces me de láqueo hoc, quem abscondérunt mihi: * quóniam tu es protéctor meus.
30:6 In manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum: * redemísti me, Dómine, Deus veritátis.
30:7 Odísti observántes vanitátes, * supervácue.
30:8 Ego autem in Dómino sperávi: * exsultábo, et lætábor in misericórdia tua.
30:9 Quóniam respexísti humilitátem meam, * salvásti de necessitátibus ánimam meam.
30:9 Nec conclusísti me in mánibus inimíci: * statuísti in loco spatióso pedes meos.
30:10 Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor: * conturbátus est in ira óculus meus, ánima mea, et venter meus:
30:11 Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea: * et anni mei in gemítibus.
30:12 Infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea: * et ossa mea conturbáta sunt.
30:13 Super omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium et vicínis meis valde: * et timor notis meis.
30:14 Qui vidébant me, foras fugérunt a me: * oblivióni datus sum, tamquam mórtuus a corde.
30:15 Factus sum tamquam vas pérditum: * quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum commorántium in circúitu.
30:16 In eo dum convenírent simul advérsum me, * accípere ánimam meam consiliáti sunt.
30:17 Ego autem in te sperávi, Dómine: * dixi: Deus meus es tu: in mánibus tuis sortes meæ.
30:18 Éripe me de manu inimicórum meórum, * et a persequéntibus me.
30:19 Illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, salvum me fac in misericórdia tua: * Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te.
30:19 Erubéscant ímpii, et deducántur in inférnum: * muta fiant lábia dolósa.
30:19 Quæ loquúntur advérsus justum iniquitátem: * in supérbia, et in abusióne.
30:20 Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.
30:21 Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.
30:22 Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum.
30:23 Próteges eos in tabernáculo tuo * a contradictióne linguárum.
30:24 Benedíctus Dóminus: * quóniam mirificávit misericórdiam suam mihi in civitáte muníta.
30:25 Ego autem dixi in excéssu mentis meæ: * Projéctus sum a fácie oculórum tuórum.
30:25 Ideo exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.
30:25 Dilígite Dóminum omnes sancti ejus: * quóniam veritátem requíret Dóminus, et retríbuet abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.
30:25 Viríliter ágite, et confortétur cor vestrum, * omnes, qui sperátis in Dómino.

Nocturn II.
Ant. Deliver me * in Thy righteousness
Psalm 30 [5]
30:1 In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: * deliver me in thy justice.
30:2 Bow down thy ear to me: * make haste to deliver me.
30:3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, * to save me.
30:4 For thou art my strength and my refuge; * and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
30:5 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: * for thou art my protector.
30:6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: * thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
30:7 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, * to no purpose.
30:8 But I have hoped in the Lord: * I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy.
30:9 For thou hast regarded my humility, * thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
30:9 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: * thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
30:10 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: * my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
30:11 For my life is wasted with grief: * and my years in sighs.
30:12 My strength is weakened through poverty * and my bones are disturbed.
30:13 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; * and a fear to my acquaintance.
30:14 They that saw me without fled from me. * I am forgotten as one dead from the heart.
30:15 I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. * For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about.
30:16 While they assembled together against me, * they consulted to take away my life.
30:17 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: * I said: Thou art my God. My lots are in thy hands.
30:18 Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; * and from them that persecute me
30:19 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy. * Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee.
30:19 Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. * Let deceitful lips be made dumb.
30:19 Which speak iniquity against the just, * with pride and abuse.
30:20 How great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, * which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee!
30:21 Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, * in the sight of the sons of men.
30:22 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, * from the disturbance of men.
30:23 Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle * from the contradiction of tongues.
30:24 Blessed be the Lord, * for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
30:25 But I said in the excess of my mind: * I am cast away from before thy eyes.
30:25 Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, * when I cried to thee.
30:25 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: * for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
30:25 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, * all ye that hope in the 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.

Psalmus 31 [6]
31:1 Beáti quorum remíssæ sunt iniquitátes: * et quorum tecta sunt peccáta.
31:2 Beátus vir, cui non imputávit Dóminus peccátum, * nec est in spíritu ejus dolus.
31:3 Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum clamárem tota die.
31:4 Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua: * convérsus sum in ærúmna mea, dum confígitur spina.
31:5 Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et injustítiam meam non abscóndi.
31:6 Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me injustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.
31:7 Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno.
31:8 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.
31:9 Tu es refúgium meum a tribulatióne, quæ circúmdedit me: * exsultátio mea, érue me a circumdántibus me.
31:10 Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos.
31:11 Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus.
31:12 In camo et freno maxíllas eórum constrínge, * qui non appróximant ad te.
31:13 Multa flagélla peccatóris, * sperántem autem in Dómino misericórdia circúmdabit.
31:14 Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, justi, * et gloriámini, omnes recti corde.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalm 31 [6]
31:1 Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven * and whose sins are covered.
31:2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no guile.
31:2 Because I was silent my bones grew old; * whilst I cried out all the day long.
31:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: * I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
31:5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, * and my injustice I have not concealed.
31:6 I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
31:7 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee * in a seasonable time.
31:8 And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come nigh unto him.
31:9 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
31:10 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: * I will fix my eyes upon thee.
31:12 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * who have no understanding.
31:13 With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, * who come not near unto thee.
31:13 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
31:14 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, * and glory, all ye right of heart.
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.

32:2 Confitémini Dómino in cíthara: * in psaltério decem chordárum psállite illi.
32:3 Cantáte ei cánticum novum: * bene psállite ei in vociferatióne.
32:4 Quia rectum est verbum Dómini, * et ómnia ópera ejus in fide.
32:5 Díligit misericórdiam et judícium: * misericórdia Dómini plena est terra.
32:6 Verbo Dómini cæli firmáti sunt: * et spíritu oris ejus omnis virtus eórum.
32:7 Cóngregans sicut in utre aquas maris: * ponens in thesáuris abýssos.
32:8 Tímeat Dóminum omnis terra: * ab eo autem commoveántur omnes inhabitántes orbem.
32:9 Quóniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt: * ipse mandávit, et creáta sunt.
32:10 Dóminus díssipat consília géntium: * réprobat autem cogitatiónes populórum, et réprobat consília príncipum.
32:11 Consílium autem Dómini in ætérnum manet: * cogitatiónes cordis ejus in generatióne et generatiónem.
32:12 Beáta gens, cujus est Dóminus, Deus ejus: * pópulus, quem elégit in hereditátem sibi.
32:13 De cælo respéxit Dóminus: * vidit omnes fílios hóminum.
32:14 De præparáto habitáculo suo * respéxit super omnes, qui hábitant terram.
32:15 Qui finxit sigillátim corda eórum: * qui intélligit ómnia ópera eórum.
32:16 Non salvátur rex per multam virtútem: * et gigas non salvábitur in multitúdine virtútis suæ.
32:17 Fallax equus ad salútem: * in abundántia autem virtútis suæ non salvábitur.
32:18 Ecce, óculi Dómini super metuéntes eum: * et in eis, qui sperant super misericórdia ejus:
32:19 Ut éruat a morte ánimas eórum: * et alat eos in fame.
32:20 Ánima nostra sústinet Dóminum: * quóniam adjútor et protéctor noster est.
32:21 Quia in eo lætábitur cor nostrum: * et in nómine sancto ejus sperávimus.
32:22 Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos: * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.

Ant. Praise is comely * for the upright
Psalm 32 [7]
32:1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: * praise becometh the upright.
32:2 Give praise to the Lord on the harp; * sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
32:3 Sing to him a new canticle, * sing well unto him with a loud noise.
32:4 For the word of the Lord is right, * and all his works are done with faithfulness.
32:5 He loveth mercy and judgment; * the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
32:6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; * and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
32:7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; * laying up the depths in storehouses.
32:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, * and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
32:9 For he spoke and they were made: * he commanded and they were created.
32:10 The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; * and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
32:11 But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: * the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
32:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: * the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
32:13 The Lord hath looked from heaven: * he hath beheld all the sons of men.
32:14 From his habitation which he hath prepared, * he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
32:15 He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: * who understandeth all their works.
32:16 The king is not saved by a great army: * nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
32:17 Vain is the horse for safety: * neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
32:18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: * and on them that hope in his mercy.
32:19 To deliver their souls from death; * and feed them in famine.
32:20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: * for he is our helper and protector.
32:21 For in him our heart shall rejoice: * and in his holy name we have trusted.
32:22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, * as we have hoped in thee.

Bernardus, Fontanis in Burgundia honesto loco natus, adolescens propter egregiam formam vehementer sollicitatus a mulieribus, numquam de sententia colendae castitatis dimoveri potuit. Quas diaboli tentationes ut effugeret, duos et viginti annos natus, monasterium Cisterciense, unde hic ordo incepit, et quod tum sanctitate florebat, ingredi constituit Quo Bernardi consilio cognito, fratres summopere conati sunt eum a proposito deterrere: in quo ipse eloquentior ac felicior fuit. Nam sic eos aliosque multos in suam perduxit sententiam, ut cum eo triginta juvenes eamdem religionem susceperint. Monachus jejunio ita deditus erat, ut quoties sumendus esset cibus, toties tormentum subire videretur. In vigiliis etiam et orationibus mirifice se exercebat: et christianam paupertatem colens, quasi caelestem vitam agebat in terris, ab omni caducarum rerum cura et cupiditate alienam.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Honestum fecit illum Dominus, et custodivit eum ab inimicis, et a seductoribus tutavit illum:
* Et dedit illi claritatem aeternam.
V. Justum deduxit Dominus per vias rectas, et ostendit illi regnum Dei
R. Et dedit illi claritatem aeternam.

Bernard was born (in the year of salvation 1091) at a decent place in Burgundy called Fontaines. On account of extraordinary good looks, he was as a boy very much sought after by women, but he could never be turned aside from his resolution to keep chaste. To fly from these temptations of the devil, he determined at two-and-twenty years of age to enter the Monastery of Citeaux, whence the Cistercian Order took its rise. When this resolution of Bernard's became known, his brothers did all their diligence to change his purpose, but he only became the more eloquent and happy about it. Them and others he so brought over to his mind, that thirty young men entered the same Order along with him. As a monk he was so given to fasting, that as often as he had to eat, so often he seemed to be in pain. He exercised himself wonderfully in watching and prayer, and was a great lover of Christian poverty. Thus he led on earth an heavenly life, purged of all care and desire for transitory things.
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.

Elucebat in eo humilitas, misericordia, benignitas: contemplationi autem sic addictus erat, ut vix sensibus, nisi ad officia pietatis, uteretur: in quibus tamen prudentiae laude excellebat. Quo in studio occupatus, Genuensem, ac Mediolanensem, aliosque episcopatus oblatos recusavit, professus se tanti officii munere indignum esse. Abbas factus Claravallensis, multis in locis aedificavit monasteria, in quibus praeclara Bernardi institutio ac disciplina diu viguit. Romae, sanctorum Vincentii et Anastasii monasterio ab Innocentio secundo Papa restituto praefecit abbatem illum, qui postea Eugenius tertius Summus Pontifex fuit, ad quem etiam librum misit de Consideratione.

He was a burning and shining light of lowliness, mercifulness, and kindness. His concentration of thought was such, that he hardly used his senses except to do good works, in which latter he acted with admirable wisdom. Thus occupied, he refused the Bishoprics of Genoa, Milan, and others, which were offered to him, declaring that he was unworthy of so high a sphere of duty. Being made Abbat of Clairvaux in 1115, he built monasteries in many places, wherein the excellent rules and discipline of Bernard long flourished. When Pope Innocent II., in 1138, restored the monastery of St Vincent and St Anastasius at Rome, Bernard set over it the Abbat who was afterwards the Supreme Pontiff Eugene III., and who is also the same to whom he addressed his book upon Consideration.
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.

Lectio 6
Multa praeterea scripsit, in quibus apparet, eum doctrina potius divinitus tradita, quam labore comparata, instructum fuisse. In summa virtutum laude exoratus a maximis principibus de eorum componendis controversiis, et de ecclesiasticis rebus constituendis, saepius in Italiam venit. Innocentium item secundum Pontificem Maximum in confutando schismate Petri Leonis, cum apud imperatorem et Henricum Angliae regem, tum in concilio Pisis coacto, egregie adjuvit. Denique tres et sexaginta annos natus, obdormivit in Domino, ac miraculis illustris, ab Alexandro tertio Papa inter sanctos relatus est. Pius vero octavus Pontifex Maximus ex sacrorum Rituum Congregationis consilio sanctum Bernardum universalis Ecclesiae Doctorem declaravit et confirmavit, nec non Missam et Officium de Doctoribus ab omnibus recitari jussit, atque indulgentias plenarias quotannis in perpetuum ordinis Cisterciensium ecclesias visitantibus die hujus sancti festo concessit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Iste homo perfecit omnia quae locutus est ei Deus, et dixit ad eum: Ingredere in requiem meam:
* Quia te vidi justum coram me ex omnibus gentibus.
V. Iste est qui contempsit vitam mundi, et pervenit ad caelestia regna.
R. Quia te vidi justum coram me ex omnibus gentibus.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Quia te vidi justum coram me ex omnibus gentibus.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Spirit's fire Divine in our hearts enkindled shine. Amen.
Reading 6
He was the author of many writings, in which it is manifest that his teaching was rather given him of God, than gained by hard work. In consequence of his high reputation for excellence, he was called by the most exalted Princes to act as arbiter of their disputes, and for this end, and to settle affairs of the Church, he often went to Italy. He was an eminent helper to Pope Innocent II., in putting down the schism of Peter Leoni, and worked to this end, both at the Courts of the Emperor and of Henry King of England, and in the Council of Pisa. He fell asleep in the Lord, (at Clairvaux, on the 20th day of August,) in the year 1153, the sixty-third year of his age. He was famous for miracles, and Pope Alexander III. numbered him among the Saints. Pope Pius VIII., acting on the advice of the Congregation of Sacred Rites, declared and confirmed St Bernard a Doctor of the Universal Church. He also commanded that all should use the Mass and Office for him as for a Doctor, and granted perpetual yearly plenary indulgences to all who should visit Churches of the Cistercian Order upon the Feastday of this Saint.
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.

Psalmus 34 [9]
34:1 Júdica, Dómine, nocéntes me, * expúgna impugnántes me.
34:2 Apprehénde arma et scutum: * et exsúrge in adjutórium mihi.
34:3 Effúnde frámeam, et conclúde advérsus eos, qui persequúntur me: * dic ánimæ meæ: Salus tua ego sum.
34:4 Confundántur et revereántur, * quæréntes ánimam meam.
34:5 Avertántur retrórsum, et confundántur * cogitántes mihi mala.
34:6 Fiant tamquam pulvis ante fáciem venti: * et Ángelus Dómini coárctans eos.
34:7 Fiat via illórum ténebræ et lúbricum: * et Ángelus Dómini pérsequens eos.
34:8 Quóniam gratis abscondérunt mihi intéritum láquei sui: * supervácue exprobravérunt ánimam meam.
34:9 Véniat illi láqueus, quem ignórat: et cáptio, quam abscóndit, apprehéndat eum: * et in láqueum cadat in ipsum.
34:10 Ánima autem mea exsultábit in Dómino: * et delectábitur super salutári suo.
34:10 Omnia ossa mea dicent: * Dómine, quis símilis tibi?
34:10 Erípiens ínopem de manu fortiórum ejus: * egénum et páuperem a diripiéntibus eum.
34:11 Surgéntes testes iníqui, * quæ ignorábam interrogábant me.
34:12 Retribuébant mihi mala pro bonis: * sterilitátem ánimæ meæ.
34:13 Ego autem cum mihi molésti essent, * induébar cilício.
34:14 Humiliábam in jejúnio ánimam meam: * et orátio mea in sinu meo convertétur.
34:15 Quasi próximum, et quasi fratrem nostrum, sic complacébam: * quasi lugens et contristátus, sic humiliábar.
34:16 Et advérsum me lætáti sunt, et convenérunt: * congregáta sunt super me flagélla, et ignorávi.
34:17 Dissipáti sunt, nec compúncti, tentavérunt me, subsannavérunt me subsannatióne: * frenduérunt super me déntibus suis.
34:17 Dómine, quando respícies? * restítue ánimam meam a malignitáte eórum, a leónibus únicam meam.
34:18 Confitébor tibi in ecclésia magna, * in pópulo gravi laudábo te.
34:19 Non supergáudeant mihi qui adversántur mihi iníque: * qui odérunt me gratis et ánnuunt óculis.
34:20 Quóniam mihi quidem pacífice loquebántur: * et in iracúndia terræ loquéntes, dolos cogitábant.
34:21 Et dilatavérunt super me os suum: * dixérunt: Euge, euge, vidérunt óculi nostri.
34:22 Vidísti, Dómine, ne síleas: * Dómine, ne discédas a me.
34:23 Exsúrge et inténde judício meo: * Deus meus, et Dóminus meus in causam meam.
34:24 Júdica me secúndum justítiam tuam, Dómine, Deus meus, * et non supergáudeant mihi.
34:25 Non dicant in córdibus suis: Euge, euge, ánimæ nostræ: * nec dicant: Devorávimus eum.
34:26 Erubéscant et revereántur simul, * qui gratulántur malis meis.
34:27 Induántur confusióne et reveréntia * qui magna loquúntur super me.
34:28 Exsúltent et læténtur qui volunt justítiam meam: * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus qui volunt pacem servi ejus.
34:28 Et lingua mea meditábitur justítiam tuam, * tota die laudem tuam.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Nocturn III.
Ant. Fight against them * that fight against me
Psalm 34 [9]
34:1 Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: * overthrow them that fight against me.
34:2 Take hold of arms and shield: * and rise up to help me.
34:3 Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: * say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
34:4 Let them be confounded and ashamed * that seek after my soul.
34:5 Let them be turned back and be confounded * that devise against me.
34:6 Let them become as dust before the wind: * and let the Angel of the Lord straiten them.
34:7 Let their way become dark and slippery; * and let the Angel of the Lord pursue them.
34:8 For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: * without cause they have upbraided my soul.
34:9 Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: * and into that very snare let them fall.
34:10 But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; * and shall be delighted in his salvation.
34:10 All my bones shall say: * Lord, who is like to thee?
34:10 Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; * the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
34:11 Unjust witnesses rising up *have asked me things I knew not.
34:12 They repaid me evil for good: * to the depriving me of my soul.
34:13 But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, * I was clothed with haircloth.
34:14 I humbled my soul with fasting; * and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
34:15 As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: * as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
34:16 But they rejoiced against me, and came together: * scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
34:17 They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: * they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
34:17 Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? * rescue thou my soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
34:18 I will give thanks to thee in a great church; * I will praise thee in a strong people.
34:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: * who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
34:20 For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; * and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
34:21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; * they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
34:22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: * O Lord, depart not from me.
34:23 Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: * to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
34:24 Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, * and let them not rejoice over me.
34:25 Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: * neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
34:26 Let them blush: and be ashamed together, * who rejoice at my evils.
34:27 Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, * who speak great things against me.
34:28 Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, * and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
34:28 And my tongue shall meditate thy justice, * thy praise all the day long.
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.

Psalmus 35 [10]
35:1 Dixit injústus ut delínquat in semetípso: * non est timor Dei ante óculos ejus.
35:2 Quóniam dolóse egit in conspéctu ejus: * ut inveniátur iníquitas ejus ad ódium.
35:3 Verba oris ejus iníquitas, et dolus: * nóluit intellígere ut bene ágeret.
35:4 Iniquitátem meditátus est in cubíli suo: * ástitit omni viæ non bonæ, malítiam autem non odívit.
35:5 Dómine, in cælo misericórdia tua: * et véritas tua usque ad nubes.
35:6 Justítia tua sicut montes Dei: * judícia tua abýssus multa.
35:7 Hómines, et juménta salvábis, Dómine: * quemádmodum multiplicásti misericórdiam tuam, Deus.
35:8 Fílii autem hóminum, * in tégmine alárum tuárum sperábunt.
35:9 Inebriabúntur ab ubertáte domus tuæ: * et torrénte voluptátis tuæ potábis eos.
35:10 Quóniam apud te est fons vitæ: * et in lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen.
35:11 Præténde misericórdiam tuam sciéntibus te, * et justítiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
35:12 Non véniat mihi pes supérbiæ: * et manus peccatóris non móveat me.
35:13 Ibi cecidérunt qui operántur iniquitátem: * expúlsi sunt, nec potuérunt stare.

Psalm 35 [10]
35:1 The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: * there is no fear of God before his eyes.
35:2 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, * that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
35:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: * he would not understand that he might do well.
35:4 He hath devised iniquity on his bed, * he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
35:5 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, * and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
35:6 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, * thy judgments are a great deep.
35:7 Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord: * O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God!
35:8 But the children of men * shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
35:9 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; * and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
35:10 For with thee is the fountain of life; * and in thy light we shall see light.
35:11 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, * and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
35:12 Let not the foot of pride come to me, * and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
35:13 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, * they are cast out, and could not stand.
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.

36:2 Quóniam tamquam foenum velóciter aréscent: * et quemádmodum ólera herbárum cito décident.
36:3 Spera in Dómino, et fac bonitátem: * et inhábita terram, et pascéris in divítiis ejus.
36:4 Delectáre in Dómino: * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.
36:5 Revéla Dómino viam tuam, et spera in eo: * et ipse fáciet.
36:6 Et edúcet quasi lumen justítiam tuam: et judícium tuum tamquam merídiem: * súbditus esto Dómino, et ora eum.
36:7 Noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua: * in hómine faciénte injustítias.
36:8 Désine ab ira, et derelínque furórem: * noli æmulári ut malignéris.
36:9 Quóniam qui malignántur, exterminabúntur: * sustinéntes autem Dóminum, ipsi hereditábunt terram.
36:10 Et adhuc pusíllum, et non erit peccátor: * et quæres locum ejus et non invénies.
36:11 Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram: * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.
36:12 Observábit peccátor justum: * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.
36:13 Dóminus autem irridébit eum: * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies ejus.
36:14 Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres: * intendérunt arcum suum,
36:15 Ut dejíciant páuperem et ínopem: * ut trucídent rectos corde.
36:15 Gládius eórum intret in corda ipsórum: * et arcus eórum confringátur.
36:16 Mélius est módicum justo, * super divítias peccatórum multas.
36:17 Quóniam bráchia peccatórum conteréntur: * confírmat autem justos Dóminus.
36:18 Novit Dóminus dies immaculatórum: * et heréditas eórum in ætérnum erit.
36:19 Non confundéntur in témpore malo, et in diébus famis saturabúntur: * quia peccatóres períbunt.
36:20 Inimíci vero Dómini mox ut honorificáti fúerint et exaltáti: * deficiéntes, quemádmodum fumus defícient.
36:21 Mutuábitur peccátor, et non solvet: * justus autem miserétur et tríbuet.
36:22 Quia benedicéntes ei hereditábunt terram: * maledicéntes autem ei disperíbunt.
36:23 Apud Dóminum gressus hóminis dirigéntur: * et viam ejus volet.
36:24 Cum cecíderit non collidétur: * quia Dóminus suppónit manum suam.
36:25 Júnior fui, étenim sénui: * et non vidi justum derelíctum, nec semen ejus quærens panem.
36:26 Tota die miserétur et cómmodat: * et semen illíus in benedictióne erit.
36:27 Declína a malo, et fac bonum: * et inhábita in sæculum sæculi.
36:28 Quia Dóminus amat judícium, et non derelínquet sanctos suos: * in ætérnum conservabúntur.
36:29 Injústi puniéntur: * et semen impiórum períbit.
36:29 Justi autem hereditábunt terram: * et inhabitábunt in sæculum sæculi super eam.
36:30 Os justi meditábitur sapiéntiam, * et lingua ejus loquétur judícium.
36:31 Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsíus, * et non supplantabúntur gressus ejus.
36:32 Consíderat peccátor justum: * et quærit mortificáre eum.
36:33 Dóminus autem non derelínquet eum in mánibus ejus: * nec damnábit eum, cum judicábitur illi.
36:34 Exspécta Dóminum, et custódi viam ejus: et exaltábit te ut hereditáte cápias terram: * cum períerint peccatóres vidébis.
36:35 Vidi ímpium superexaltátum, * et elevátum sicut cedros Líbani.
36:36 Et transívi, et ecce non erat: * et quæsívi eum, et non est invéntus locus ejus.
36:37 Custódi innocéntiam, et vide æquitátem: * quóniam sunt relíquiæ hómini pacífico.
36:38 Injústi autem disperíbunt simul: * relíquiæ impiórum interíbunt.
36:39 Salus autem justórum a Dómino: * et protéctor eórum in témpore tribulatiónis.
36:40 Et adjuvábit eos Dóminus et liberábit eos: * et éruet eos a peccatóribus, et salvábit eos: quia speravérunt in eo.

Ant. Show * thy way unto he Lord
Psalm 36 [11]
36:1 Be not emulous of evildoers; * nor envy them that work iniquity.
36:2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, * and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
36:3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, * and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
36:4 Delight in the Lord, * and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
36:5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, * and he will do it.
36:6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday: * be subject to the Lord and pray to him.
36:7 Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; * the man who doth unjust things.
36:8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; * have no emulation to do evil.
36:9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: * but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
36:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: * and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
36:11 But the meek shall inherit the land, * and shall delight in abundance of peace.
36:12 The sinner shall watch the just man: * and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
36:13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: * for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
36:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword: * they have bent their bow.
36:15 To cast down the poor and needy, * to kill the upright of heart.
36:15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, * and let their bow be broken.
36:16 Better is a little to the just, * than the great riches of the wicked.
36:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; * but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
36:18 The Lord knoweth the days of the undefiled; * and their inheritance shall be for ever.
36:19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled, * because the wicked shall perish.
36:20 And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, * shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
36:21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; * but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
36:22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land: * but such as curse him shall perish.
36:23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, * and he shall like well his way.
36:24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, * for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
36:25 I have been young, and now am old; * and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
36:26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; * and his seed shall be in blessing.
36:27 Decline from evil and do good, * and dwell for ever and ever.
36:28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: * they shall be preserved for ever.
36:29 The unjust shall be punished, * and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
36:29 But the just shall inherit the land, * and shall dwell therein for evermore.
36:30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: * and his tongue shall speak judgment.
36:31 The law of his God is in his heart, * and his steps shall not be supplanted.
36:32 The wicked watcheth the just man, * and seeketh to put him to death.
36:33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands; * nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
36:34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: * when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
36:35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, * and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
36:36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not: * and I sought him and his place was not found.
36:37 Keep innocence, and behold justice: * for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
36:38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together: * the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
36:39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, * and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
36:40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them: * and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
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.

37:2 Quóniam sagíttæ tuæ infíxæ sunt mihi: * et confirmásti super me manum tuam.
37:3 Non est sánitas in carne mea a fácie iræ tuæ: * non est pax óssibus meis a fácie peccatórum meórum.
37:4 Quóniam iniquitátes meæ supergréssæ sunt caput meum: * et sicut onus grave gravátæ sunt super me.
37:5 Putruérunt et corrúptæ sunt cicatríces meæ, * a fácie insipiéntiæ meæ.
37:6 Miser factus sum, et curvátus sum usque in finem: * tota die contristátus ingrediébar.
37:7 Quóniam lumbi mei impléti sunt illusiónibus: * et non est sánitas in carne mea.

37:9 Dómine, ante te omne desidérium meum: * et gémitus meus a te non est abscónditus.
37:10 Cor meum conturbátum est, derelíquit me virtus mea: * et lumen oculórum meórum, et ipsum non est mecum.
37:12 Amíci mei, et próximi mei * advérsum me appropinquavérunt, et stetérunt.
37:13 Et qui juxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam.
37:14 Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur.
37:15 Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam: * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum.
37:16 Et factus sum sicut homo non áudiens: * et non habens in ore suo redargutiónes.
37:17 Quóniam in te, Dómine, sperávi: * tu exáudies me, Dómine, Deus meus.
37:18 Quia dixi: Nequándo supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei: * et dum commovéntur pedes mei, super me magna locúti sunt.
37:19 Quóniam ego in flagélla parátus sum: * et dolor meus in conspéctu meo semper.
37:20 Quóniam iniquitátem meam annuntiábo: * et cogitábo pro peccáto meo.
37:21 Inimíci autem mei vivunt, et confirmáti sunt super me: * et multiplicáti sunt qui odérunt me iníque.
37:22 Qui retríbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahébant mihi: * quóniam sequébar bonitátem.
37:23 Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, Deus meus: * ne discésseris a me.
37:23 Inténde in adjutórium meum, * Dómine, Deus, salútis meæ.

Psalm 37 [12]
37:1 Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; * nor chastise me in thy wrath.
37:2 For thy arrows are fastened in me: * and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
37:3 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: * there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
37:4 For my iniquities are gone over my head: * and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
37:5 My sores are putrified and corrupted, * because of my foolishness.
37:6 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: * I walked sorrowful all the day long.
37:7 For my loins are filled with illusions; * and there is no health in my flesh.
37:8 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: * I roared with the groaning of my heart.
37:9 Lord, all my desire is before thee, * and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
37:10 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, * and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
37:12 My friends and my neighbours *have drawn near, and stood against me.
37:13 And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they that sought my soul used violence.
37:14 And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, * and studied deceits all the day long.
37:15 But I, as a deaf man, heard not: * and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
37:16 And I became as a man that heareth not: * and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
37:17 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: * thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
37:18 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: * and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:19 For I am ready for scourges: * and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:20 For I will declare my iniquity: * and I will think for my sin.
37:21 But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: * and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:22 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, * because I followed goodness.
37:23 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: * do not thou depart from me.
37:23 Attend unto my help, * O Lord, the God of my salvation.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
Luke 10:1-9
In illo tempore: Designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos: et misit illos binos ante faciem suam, in omnem civitatem et locum, quo erat ipse venturus. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Gregorii Papae.
Homilia 17. in Evangelia
Dominus et Salvator noster, fratres carissimi, aliquando nos sermonibus, aliquando vero operibus admonet. Ipsa etenim facta ejus praecepta sunt: quia dum aliquid tacitus facit, quid agere debeamus innotescit. Ecce enim binos in praedicationem discipulos mittit: quia duo sunt praecepta caritatis, Dei videlicet amor, et proximi: et minus quam inter duos caritas haberi non potest. Nemo enim proprie ad semetipsum habere caritatem dicitur: sed dilectio in alterum tendit, ut caritas esse possit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Iste est qui ante Deum magnas virtutes operatus est, et de omni corde suo laudavit Dominum:
* Ipse intercedat pro peccatis omnium populorum.
V. Ecce homo sine querela, verus Dei cultor, abstinens se ab omni opere malo, et permanens in innocentia sua.
R. Ipse intercedat pro peccatis omnium populorum.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.
Reading 7
From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 10:1-9
At that time the Lord appointed other seventy-two also, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself would come. And so on.
Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great.
Homily the 17th on the Gospels.
Dearly beloved brethren, our Lord and Saviour doth sometimes admonish us by words, and sometimes by works. Yea, His very works do themselves teach us for that which He doth silently His example still moveth us to copy. Behold how He sendeth forth His disciples to preach by two and two since there are two commandments to love, that is, a commandment to love God, and a commandment to love our neighbour and where there are not two, the one, being alone, hath not whereon to do the Lord's commandment. And no man can properly be said to love himself: for love tendeth outward toward our neighbour, if it be the love whereto the Gospel doth oblige us.
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
Ecce enim binos ad praedicandum discipulos Dominus mittit: quatenus hoc nobis tacitus innuat, quia qui caritatem erga alterum non habet, praedicationis officium suscipere nullatenus debet. Bene autem dicitur, quia misit eos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem et locum, quo erat ipse venturus. Praedicatores enim suos Dominus sequitur: quia praedicatio praevenit, et tunc ad mentis nostrae habitaculum Dominus venit, quando verba exhortationis praecurrunt: atque per hoc veritas in mente suscipitur.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris
* Et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis.
V. Vigilate ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dominus vester venturus sit.
R. Et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen.
Reading 8
Behold, the Lord sendeth forth His disciples to preach by two and two and thus doing, He doth silently teach us that whosoever loveth not his neighbour, such an one it behoveth not to take upon him the office of a preacher. Well also is it said that He sent them before His face into every city and place whither He Himself would come. The Lord followeth His preachers first cometh preaching, and then the Lord Himself cometh to the house of our mind, whither the word of exhortation hath come before and so cometh the truth into our mind.
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.

Lectio 9
Hinc namque eisdem praedicatoribus Isaias dicit: Parate viam Domini, rectas facite semitas Dei nostri. Hinc filiis Psalmista ait: Iter facite ei, qui ascendit super occasum. Super occasum namque Dominus ascendit: quia unde in passione occubuit, inde majorem suam gloriam resurgendo manifestavit. Super occasum videlicet ascendit; quia mortem quam pertulit, resurgendo calcavit. Ei ergo qui ascendit super occasum, iter facimus, cum nos ejus gloriam vestris mentibus praedicamus, ut eas et ipse post veniens, per amoris sui praesentiam illustret.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 9
Therefore to preachers saith Isaiah "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight an highway for our God." xl. 3. And again the Psalmist saith "Spread a path before him that rideth upon the West." lxvii. 4. The Lord rideth upon the West above that from which in death He veiled His glory hath He royally exalted that glory that excelleth, even the glory of His rising again. He rideth upon the West, Who, being risen again from the dead, is throned high above the death to which He bowed. Before Him, therefore, That rideth upon the West, we spread a path, when we set forth His glory before the eyes of your mind, to the end that He Himself may come after, and Himself enlighten the same your minds by His presence and His love.
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.
