Hymnus
Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Eiúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Et nunc et in perpétuum.
Amen.

Hymn
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 laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

Martyrologium {anticip}
On this day, which the Lord hath made, is the Solemnity of Solemnities, and our Pasch; the Resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ according to the flesh.
April 22nd 2019, the 18th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, upon the Appian Way, the holy martyr Soter, Pope [in the years 162-170.]
At Rome likewise, the holy martyr Caius, Pope [in the years 283-295,] who was crowned with martyrdom under the Emperor Diocletian.
At Smyrna, holy Apelles and Lucius, who were among the earliest disciples of Christ. [Apelles is said by the Greeks to have ruled the Church of Smyrna, and Lucius that of Laodicea. They are mentioned by St Paul in the Epistle to the Romans, ch. xvi.]
Upon the same day very many holy martyrs, who were slain with the sword for Christ's name's sake by order of King Sapor in diverse places throughout the whole kingdom of Persia, in the year following the death of Simeon, and like him upon the day upon which is made the memorial of the Passion of the Lord. In this contending for the faith [from the year 341 till 386,] there suffered the eunuch Azades, who was a favourite of the king; Milles, Bishop [of a town in Persia,] who was illustrious for his holiness and for the glory of his miracles; Acepsimas, Bishop [of Honite, in Syria,] along with James his Priest the Priests; Aithalas, [Deacon of Bathnukadra,] and Joseph, [Priest of Bethcatuba,] the Deacons Azadanes and Abd-Jesus, and very many others of the clergy; likewise also the Bishops Mareas and Bicor, along with twenty other bishops, and nearly two hundred and fifty of the clergy; likewise also very many monks, and hallowed virgins, among whom was Tarbula, the sister of holy Simeon, along with her waiting-woman, who were most cruelly slain by being bound to beams and cut through with a saw.
Also in Persia, [in the year 251,] the holy martyrs, the Priests Parmenius, Helimenas, and Chrysotelus, and the Deacons Luke and Mucius, whose triumph is recorded in the history of the sufferings of the holy martyrs Abdon and Sennen.
At Alexandria, the holy martyr Leonides, who suffered under the Emperor Severus.
At Lyons, [in the year 177,] holy martyr Epipodius, who was arrested along with his colleague Alexander, in the persecution under the Emperor Antoninus Verus, and after suffering most grievous torments was beheaded.
At Sens, [in the year 541,] the holy Confessor Leo, Bishop of that see.
At Anastasiopolis, [in Galatia, in the year 613,] holy Theodore, Bishop [of that see,] famous for miracles.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℣. Precious in the sight of the Lord
℟. Is the death of his saints.
Holy Mary and all the Saints, intercede for us with the Lord, our God, so that we may merit His help and salvation, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Ex Cápite 64 Régulæ Sancti Patri Nostri Benedícti: De ordinándo abbáte
Ordinátus autem abbas cógitet semper, quale onus suscépit et cui redditúrus est ratiónem vilicatiónis suæ, sciátque sibi oportére prodésse magis quam præésse. Opórtet ergo eum esse doctum Lege divína, ut sciat et si unde próferat nova et vétera, castum, sóbrium, misericórdem, et semper superexáltet misericórdiam iudício, ut idem ipse consequátur. Oderit vítia, díligat fratres. In ipsa autem correptióne prudénter agat et ne quid nimis, ne dum nimis erádere cupit ærúginem frangátur vas. Suámque fragilitátem semper suspéctus sit, meminerítque cálamum quassátum non conteréndum. In quibus non dícimus ut permíttat nutríri vítia, sed prudénter et cum caritáte ea ámputet, ut víderit cuique expedíre sicut iam díximus, et stúdeat plus amári quam timéri. Non sit turbuléntus et ánxius, non sit nímius et obstinátus, non sit zelótipus et nimis suspiciósus, quia numquam requiéscit. In ipsis impériis suis próvidus et considerátus, et sive secúndum Deum sive secúndum sǽculum sit ópera quam iniúngit, discérnat et témperet, cógitans discretiónem sancti Iacob dicéntis: Si greges meos plus in ambulándo fécero laboráre, moriéntur cuncti una die. Hæc ergo aliáque testimónia discretiónis matris virtútum sumens, sic ómnia témperet ut sit et fortes quod cúpiant et infírmi non refúgiant. Et præcípue ut præséntem régulam in ómnibus consérvet, ut dum bene ministráverit áudiat a Dómino quod servus bonus qui erogávit tríticum consérvis in témpore suo: Amen dico vobis, ait, super ómnia bona sua constítuit eum.

Regula
The Rule of our Holy Father Benedict. Chapter 64: Concerning the Election of an Abbot. Continued.
But let him who is elected abbot always bear in mind what manner of burden he has received, and Who it is to Whom he will have to render account of his stewardship; and let him know that it behoves him to be of service rather than to be served. It behoves him therefore to be learned in the divine law, that he may thence bring forth things new and old; to be chaste, sober, merciful; and let him always exalt mercy above judgment, that himself may attain it. Let him hate the faults, let him love the brethren. In the matter of correction let him act prudently and not too severely, lest while he desires to scrape off the rust too much the vessel be broken; and let him always keep an eye upon his own frailty and remember that the shaken reed must not be crushed, by which we do not mean to say that he is to permit faults to be nourished, but that he cut them off prudently and with charity, as he sees to be expedient for each, as we have already said; and let him take pains to be loved rather than to be feared. Let him not be full of commotion nor anxious, let him not be over-bearing nor obstinate, jealous nor too suspicious, because such an one is never at rest. In the matter of the commands he gives let him be provident and considerate before God and man. The work which he enjoins let him apportion with discretion, having in mind the discretion of holy Jacob who says: “If I shall have made my flocks over-travel, they will all die in one day.” Taking therefore these words and others bearing testimony to discretion as the mother of virtues, let him so apportion all things that there be something to which the strong may aspire and something the weak may not shrink from; and principally that he conserve this present rule in all things so that when he shall have fulfilled a good ministry he may hear from the Lord what the good slave heard who gave out wheat to his fellow-slaves in due season: “Verily I say unto you,” He says, “over all his goods will he set him.”
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
