Ante Divinum officium
Incipit
secreto
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,
passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,
Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

Deinde, clara voce, dicitur Versus:
℣. Dómine, lábia +︎ mea apéries.
℟. Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
℣. Deus in adjutórium meum inténde.
℟. Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Allelúja.
Start
silently
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. 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.

Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, come to my assistance;
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Alleluia.

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

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Vírginis Proles Opiféxque Matris,
Virgo quem gessit, peperítque Virgo:
Vírginis partos cánimus decóra
Morte triúmphos.

Hæc enim palmæ dúplicis beáta
Sorte, dum gestit frágilem domáre
Córporis sexum, dómuit cruéntum
Cæde tyránnum.

Unde nec mortem, nec amíca mortis
Mille pœnárum génera expavéscens,
Sánguine effúso méruit serénum
Scándere cælum.

Hujus orátu, Deus alme, nobis
Débitas pœnas scélerum remítte;
Ut tibi puro resonémus almum
Péctore carmen.

Sit decus Patri, genitǽque Proli,
Et tibi, compar utriúsque virtus,
Spíritus semper, Deus unus, omni
Témporis ævo.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Son of a virgin, maker of thy mother,
Thou, rod and blossom from a stem unstainèd,
While we a Virgin's triumphs are rehearsing,
Hear our petition!

Lo, on thy handmaid fell a two-fold blessing,
Who, in her body vanquishing the weakness,
In that same body, grace from heaven obtaining,
Bore the world witness.

Death, nor the rending pains of death appalled her;
Bondage and torment found her undefeated:
So by the shedding of her blood attained she
Heavenly guerdon.

Fountain of mercy, hear the prayers she offers;
Purge our offences, pardon our transgressions,
So that hereafter we to thee may render
Praise with thanksgiving.

Thou, the All-Father, thou, the One-Begotten,
Thou, Holy Spirit, Three in One co-equal,
Glory be henceforth thine through all the ages,
World without ending.
Amen.

67:5 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.

67:6 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.

Lúcia virgo Syracusana, genere et christiana fide ab infántia nobilis, una cum matre Eutychia, quæ sánguinis fluxu laborabat, Cátanam ad venerándum corpus beátæ Agathæ venit: quæ ad ejus sepúlcrum cum suppliciter orasset, Agathæ intercessióne matri sanitátem impetrávit. Statim vero matrem exorávit, ut quam dotem sibi datura esset, Christi paupéribus tribui paterétur. Ut ígitur Syracusas rediit, omnem pecúniam, quam ex facultátibus venditis redegerat, paupéribus distríbuit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Lúcia virgo, quid a me petis quod ipsa póteris præstáre contínuo matri tuæ? nam et fides tua illi subvénit, et ecce salváta est:

Lucy was a maiden of Syracuse, the daughter of a noble Christian family. Her mother Eutychia, being afflicted with an issue of blood, went with her to Catania, to pray before the body of the blessed Agatha. Lucy, by her earnest prayers at the grave, obtained her mother's cure, through the intercession of Agatha, and then immediately begged her to give to Christ's poor the whole dowry which had been set apart for herself. As soon, therefore, as they returned to Syracuse, they sold the property, and distributed the money among the poor.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Maiden Lucy, why seekest thou of me that which thou thyself canst presently give thy mother? For thy faith hath helped her, and, behold, she is made whole;
* Because thou hast made in thy virginity a pleasant dwelling-place for thy God.
℣. Even as Christ hath by me glorified Catania, so by thee shall He glorify Syracuse.
℟. Because thou hast made in thy virginity a pleasant dwellingplace for thy God.

Quod ubi rescivísset is, cui eam paréntes contra Vírginis voluntátem desponderant, apud Paschasium præfectum Lúciam, quod christiana esset, accusávit. Quam ille cum nec precibus, nec minis ad cultum idolórum posset perducere; immo tanto magis incensam vidéret ad celebrandas christianæ fidei laudes, quanto magis ipse eam a senténtia avértere conabátur: Cessábunt, inquit, verba, cum véntum erit ad verbera. Cui Virgo: Dei servis verba deésse non possunt, quibus a Christo Dómino dictum est: Cum steteritis ante reges et præsides, nolíte cogitare quómodo aut quid loquámini; dábitur enim vobis in illa hora quid loquámini; non enim vos estis qui loquímini, sed Spíritus Sanctus, qui lóquitur in vobis.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Rogávi Dóminum meum Jesum Christum, ut ignis iste non dominétur mei:

When this came to the ears of one to whom her parents had betrothed her against her will, he accused Lucy before Paschasius, the Prefect of being a Christian. The Prefect could not move her to commit idolatry, either by his entreaties or his threats; nay, the more he strove to persuade her, so much the bolder did she become in her confession. Then, seeing that he could prevail nothing, words, saith he, will cease when we come to blows. To whom the virgin answered, God's servants will never want words, for the Lord Christ hath said: When ye shall stand before kings and governors, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak, for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost Which speaketh in you. (Matth. x. 18-20; Mark xiii. 9-11.)
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. I besought my Lord Jesus Christ that this fire might not take hold upon me;
* And I obtained from the Lord that I should not finish my testimony for yet a while.
℣. For so much as they loved me, so bitterly spake they against me: but I gave myself unto prayer.
℟. And I obtained from the Lord that I should not finish my testimony for yet a while.

Quam cum Paschasius interrogasset, Estne in te Spíritus Sanctus? respóndit: Caste et pie vivéntes templum sunt Spíritus Sancti. At ille, Jubébo te ad lupánar duci, ut te Spíritus Sanctus déserat. Cui virgo: Si invitam jusseris violari, castitas mihi duplicábitur ad corónam. Quare Paschasius ira inflammatus, Lúciam eo trahi jussit, ubi ejus virginitas violarétur: sed divinitus factum est, ut firma virgo ita consísteret, ut nulla vi de loco dimoveri posset. Quam ob rem præfectus circum ipsam, pice, resína, ac fervénti oleo perfusam, ignem accéndi imperávit: sed cum ne flamma quidem eam læderet, multis tormentis excruciátæ guttur gládio transfígitur. Quo vulnere accepto, Lúcia prædícens Ecclésiæ tranquillitátem, quæ futura erat Diocletiáno et Maximiáno mórtuis, Idibus Decembris spíritum Deo réddidit. Cujus corpus Syracusis sepúltum, deínde Constantinopolim, postremo Venetias translátum est.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Gráta facta est a Dómino in certámine, quia apud Deum et apud hómines glorificáta est: in conspéctu príncipis loquebátur sapiéntiam:
* Et Dóminus ómnium diléxit eam.
℣. Adjuvábit eam Deus vultu suo: Deus in médio ejus, non commovébitur.
℟. Et Dóminus ómnium diléxit eam.

Then Paschasius asked her, saying: Is the Holy Ghost in thee? Whereto she answered: They that live in chastity and piety are the temples of the Holy Ghost. Then, said he, I will send thee to be prostituted in a brothel, and get the Holy Ghost out of thee. To whom she made reply: Thou canst not prostitute my will. If thou cause this poor body to be violated, the crown of my soul's purity will be brighter through suffering. Then he bade them take her to the place of shame, but by the power of God it became impossible to move her. Whereupon, being inflamed with anger, he had pitch, resin, and boiling oil poured upon her, and then set on fire. But the fire did not take hold upon her. Therefore he practised many other cruelties upon her, and at last thrust a sword through her neck. When Lucy had received this wound, she began to speak of the peace of the Church, which it should enjoy after the death of Diocletian and Maximian, and presently returned her soul into the hands of God. She testified on the thirteenth day of December. Her body was buried at Syracuse, but afterwards taken to Constantinople, and lastly to Venice.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The Lord made her to prevail in the battle, and she was glorified in the sight of God and man; she spake wisdom before princes;
* And the Lord of all loved her.
℣. God shall help her with His countenance; God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved.
℟. And the Lord of all loved her.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And the Lord of all loved her.

68:3 I am come into the depth of the sea: * and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
68:4 I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: * my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.

68:5 My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: * then did I pay that which I took not away.

68:11 And I covered my soul in fasting: * and it was made a reproach to me.
68:12 And I made haircloth my garment: * and I became a byword to them.

68:21 And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, * but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
68:22 And they gave me gall for my food, * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
68:23 Let their table become as a snare before them, * and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 13:44-52
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Simile est regnum cælórum thesáuro abscóndito in agro. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ
Homilia 11 in Evangelia
Cælórum regnum, fratres caríssimi, idcírco terrénis rebus símile dícitur, ut, ex his quæ ánimus novit, surgat ad incógnita, quæ non novit: quátenus exémplo visibílium se ad invisibília rápiat, et, per ea quæ usu dídicit quasi confricátus incaléscat; ut per hoc, quod scit notum dilígere, discat et incógnita amáre. Ecce enim cælórum regnum thesáuro abscóndito in agro comparátur; quem, qui invénit homo, abscóndit, et præ gáudio illíus vadit, et vendit univérsa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 13:44
At that time Jesus spake unto His disciples this parable The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field. And so on.

Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great
11th on the Gospels
Dearly beloved brethren, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto the things of earth, to the end that by the mean of things which we know, our mind may rise to the contemplation of the things which we know not by the example of things which are seen, may fix her gaze on things which are not seen by the touch of things which she useth, may be warmed towards the things which she useth not; by things which she knoweth and loveth, to love also the things which she knoweth not. For, behold, "the kingdom of heaven is likened unto treasure hid in a field, the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and, for joy thereof, goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field."
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness;
* And thy right hand shall lead thee wonderfully.
℣. In thy comeliness, and thy beauty, go forward, fare prosperously, and reign.
℟. And thy right hand shall lead thee wonderfully.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipsa intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Qua in re hoc quoque notándum est, quod invéntus thesáurus abscónditur, ut servétur: quia stúdium cæléstis desidérii a malígnis spirítibus custodíre non súfficit, qui hoc ab humánis láudibus non abscóndit. In præsénti étenim vita, quasi in via sumus, qua ad pátriam pérgimus. Malígni autem spíritus iter nostrum quasi quidam latrúnculi óbsident. Deprædári ergo desíderat, qui thesáurum públice portat in via. Hoc autem dico, non ut próximi ópera nostra bona non vídeant, cum scriptum sit: Vídeant ópera vestra bona, et gloríficent Patrem vestrum qui in cælis est; sed, ut per hoc quod ágimus, laudes extérius non quærámus. Sic autem sit opus in público, quátenus inténtio máneat in occúlto; ut, et de bono ópere próximis præbeámus exémplum, et tamen per intentiónem, qua Deo soli placére quǽrimus, semper optémus secrétum.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

* Proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, óleo lætítiæ.

Benediction. She whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen

Reading 8
And herein we must remark that the treasure, when once it hath been found, is hidden to keep it safe. He whose intimate yearnings after God are not hidden from the praise of men, is open thereby to the attacks of evil spirits. In this life we are, as it were, journeying homewards on a road beset by evil spirits who are like highwaymen. He therefore inviteth robbery who carrieth his treasure ostentatiously. Doubtless our neighbour should be able to see our good works, as it is written: "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." But this is not to be understood to mean that we are to seek the praise of men by what we do. Rather, let us in such wise work in the open that the inner intention of devotion is not advertised. So we shall give an example to our neighbour, and yet keep hidden, except from the sight of God, our purpose of pleasing him.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
* Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness.
℣. Because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness.
℟. Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness.

Thesáurus autem cæléste est desidérium; ager vero, in quo thesáurus abscónditur, disciplína stúdii cæléstis.

Reading 9
The treasure is the desire for heaven, the field wherein it is hidden is the earnest observance wherewith this desire is surrounded. Whosoever turneth his back upon the enjoyments of the flesh, and by earnest striving heavenward, putteth all earthly lusts under the feet of discipline, so that he smileth back no more when the flesh smileth at him, and shuddereth no more at anything that can only kill the body whosoever doth thus, hath sold all that he had, and bought that field.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Jesu, the virgins' crown, do thou
Accept us as in prayer we bow;
Born of that Virgin, whom alone
The mother and the maid we own.

Amongst the lilies thou dost feed,
By virgin choirs accompanied;
With glory decked, the spotless brides
Whose bridal gifts thy love provides.

They, wheresoe'er thy footsteps bend,
With hymns and praises still attend:
In blessèd troops they follow thee,
With dance, and song, and melody.

We pray thee therefore to bestow
Upon our senses here below
Thy grace, that so we may endure
From taint of all corruption pure.

All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.

Hymn {Doxology: Nat}
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.

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

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

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

All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.

December 14th 2018, the 7th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

At Alexandria, (in the year 250,) the holy martyrs Heron, Arsenius, and Isidore, and a lad Dioscorus. In the persecution under the Emperor Decius the judge caused Heron, Arsenius, and Isidore to be lacerated with diverse torments, and, when he saw them to be all equally steadfast, to be burnt. Dioscorus was heavily whipped, but God was pleased that, for the comfort of the faithful, he should then be set at liberty.
At Antioch, the holy martyrs Drusus, Zosimus, and Theodore.
Upon the same day, (in the year 284,) the holy martyrs Justus and Abundius. Under Olybrius the President, in the persecution under the Emperor Numerian, they were cast into the fire, and when they appeared thence unburnt, they were beheaded.
At Reims, the holy martyrs Nicasius, Bishop, (in the year 400,) of that see the Virgin Eutropia, his sister, and their Companions, who were slain by the savage enemies of the Church (in the year 407.)
In the island of Cyprus the blessed Spiridion, Bishop (of Tremithos) he was one of those Confessors whose right eyes were put out and their left thighs hamstrung, and were condemned to penal servitude in the mines by the Emperor Galerius Maximian. He was illustrious for the gift of prophecy, and the fame of miracles, and at the Council of Nicea, (held in 325,) he confuted and converted to the faith a heathen philosopher who attacked the Christian religion, (and died after the year 347.)
At Bergamo, the holy Confessor Viator, Bishop (of that see.)
At Pavia, holy Pompey, Bishop (of that see.)
At Naples, in Campania, (in the year 596,) holy Agnello, Abbot (at Naples,) famous for the grace of miracles, who, when the city had been beleaguered, had often been seen with a flag marked with a cross, delivering it from the enemy.

Ant. How good is God.
Psalm 72(1-9) [1]
72:1 How good is God to Israel, * to them that are of a right heart!
72:2 But my feet were almost moved; * my steps had wellnigh slipped.
72:3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.
72:4 For there is no regard to their death, * nor is there strength in their stripes.
72:5 They are not in the labour of men: * neither shall they be scourged like other men.
72:6 Therefore pride hath held them fast: * they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
72:7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: * they have passed into the affection of the heart.
72:8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: * they have spoken iniquity on high.
72:9 They have set their mouth against heaven: * and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.
72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:
72:14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.
72:15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce, natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.
72:16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:
72:17 Donec intrem in Sanctuárium Dei: * et intéllegam in novíssimis eórum.

72:10 Therefore will my people return here * and full days shall be found in them.
72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?
72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.
72:13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, * and washed my hands among the innocent.
72:14 And I have been scourged all the day; * and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
72:15 If I said: I will speak thus; * behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
72:16 I studied that I might know this thing, * it is a labour in my sight:

72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.
72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.
72:23 Ut juméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.
72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.
72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up, thou hast cast them down.
72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
72:20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
72:21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.
72:23 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.
72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.
72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
72:28 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, * to put my hope in the Lord God:
72:28 That I may declare all thy praises, * in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

Hymn {Doxology: Nat}
Jesu, the virgins' crown, do thou
Accept us as in prayer we bow;
Born of that Virgin, whom alone
The mother and the maid we own.

Amongst the lilies thou dost feed,
By virgin choirs accompanied;
With glory decked, the spotless brides
Whose bridal gifts thy love provides.

They, wheresoe'er thy footsteps bend,
With hymns and praises still attend:
In blessèd troops they follow thee,
With dance, and song, and melody.

We pray thee therefore to bestow
Upon our senses here below
Thy grace, that so we may endure
From taint of all corruption pure.

All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.

℣. Grace is poured into thy lips.
℟. Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

70:1 In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: * deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me.
70:2 Incline thy ear unto me, * and save me.
70:3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: * that thou mayst make me safe.
70:3 For thou art my firmament * and my refuge.
70:4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, * and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
70:5 For thou art my patience, O Lord: * my hope, O Lord, from my youth.

70:7 Of thee shall I continually sing: * I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
70:8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; * thy greatness all the day long.
70:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age: * when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

70:18 Donec annúntiem brácchium tuum * generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est:
70:19 Poténtiam tuam, et justítiam tuam, Deus, usque in altíssima, quæ fecísti magnália: * Deus, quis símilis tibi?
70:20 Quantas ostendísti mihi tribulatiónes multas et malas: et convérsus vivificásti me: * et de abýssis terræ íterum reduxísti me:
70:21 Multiplicásti magnificéntiam tuam: * et convérsus consolátus es me.
70:22 Nam et ego confitébor tibi in vasis psalmi veritátem tuam: * Deus, psallam tibi in cíthara, Sanctus Israël.

Psalm 70(13-24) [3]
70:13 Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; * let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
70:14 But I will always hope; * and will add to all thy praise.
70:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; * thy salvation all the day long.
70:16 Because I have not known learning, I will enter into the powers of the Lord: * O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
70:17 Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: * and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
70:18 And unto old age and grey hairs: * O God, forsake me not,
70:18 Until I shew forth thy arm * to all the generation that is to come:
70:19 Thy power, and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: * O God, who is like to thee?
70:20 How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, * and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
70:21 Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; * and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
70:22 For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: * O God, I will sing to thee with the harp,
70:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; * and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
70:24 Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; * when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.

℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hymnus {Doxology: Nat}
Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut pro tua cleméntia
Sis præsul et custódia.

Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nóstrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.

Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
Hymn {Doxology: Nat}
Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

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

All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. 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.
If right after Compline, Matins is said, then Our Father, Hail Mary and Credo, are said twice, once each for end of the Office of the previous day, and for the beginning of the Office of the next.
