Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

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.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Et triumphátor nóbilis,
Dulcédo ineffábilis,
Totus desiderábilis.
Quando cor nostrum vísitas,

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
O Jesu, King most wonderful
Thou conqueror renowned,
Thou sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!
When once Thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine;
Then earthly vanities depart;
Then kindles love divine.
O Jesu, light of all below,
Thou fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire:
May every heart confess thy Name,
And ever thee adore;
And, seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.
Thee may our tongues forever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of thine own.
Amen.

Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles
Acts 3:1-8
1 Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer.
2 And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple.
3 He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.
4 But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us.
5 But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them.
6 But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk.
7 And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength.
8 And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His Name Jesus
* For He shall save His people from their sins.
℣. His Name was called Jesus, which was so named of the Angel, before He was conceived in the womb.

11 Cum tenéret autem Petrum et Joánnem, cucúrrit omnis pópulus ad eos ad pórticum, quæ appellátur Salomónis, stupéntes.
12 Videns autem Petrus, respóndit ad pópulum: Viri Israëlítæ, quid mirámini in hoc, aut nos quid intuémini, quasi nostra virtúte aut potestáte fecérimus hunc ambuláre?
13 Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrórum glorificávit Fílium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidístis et negástis ante fáciem Piláti, judicánte illo dimítti.
14 Vos autem sanctum et justum negástis, et petístis virum homicídam donári vobis:

Acts 3:9-16
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12 But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.
14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.
15 But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
16 And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened; and the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Blessed is thy Name, O God of our fathers, for in wrath Thou wilt remember mercy.
* And in the time of tribulation Thou forgivest the sins of them that call upon thee.

Acts 4:5-12
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes, and ancients, and scribes, were gathered together in Jerusalem;
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
7 And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear:
9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:
10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I will praise thy Name continually;
* Yea, I will praise it with thanksgiving.
℣. I will be glad and rejoice in thee I will sing praise to thy Name, O Thou Most High.
℟. Yea, I will praise it with thanksgiving.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Yea, I will praise it with thanksgiving.

Psalm 44 [4]
44:2 My heart hath uttered a good word; * I speak my works to the King.
44:2 My tongue is the pen of a scrivener * that writeth swiftly.
44:3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; * therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
44:4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis
Sermo 15 super Cantica, circa medium
Non otióse Spíritus Sanctus nomen Sponsi óleo cómparat, cum ita dóceat sponsam ad Sponsum clamáre: Oleum effúsum nomen tuum. Oleum enim lucet, pascit et ungit. Fovet ignem, nutrit carnem, lenit dolórem: lux, cibus, medicína. Vide idem nunc et de Sponsi nómine: Lucet prædicátum, pascit recogitátum, invocátum lenit et ungit. Et percurrámus síngula. Unde putas in toto orbe tanta et tam súbita fídei lux, nisi de prædicáto nómine Jesu? Nonne in hujus nóminis luce Deus nos vocávit in admirábile lumen suum; quibus illúminatis, et in lúmine isto vidéntibus lumen, dicat mérito Paulus: Fuístis aliquándo ténebræ, nunc autem lux in Dómino?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux)
1st on the Song of Songs
It is not idly that the Holy Ghost likeneth the Name of the Bridegroom to oil, when He maketh the Bride say to the Bridegroom: thy Name is as oil poured forth. Oil indeed giveth light, meat, and unction. It feedeth fire, it nourisheth the flesh, it sootheth pain; it is light, food, and healing. Behold, Thus also is the Name of the Bridegroom. To preach it, is to give light; to think of it, is to feed the soul; to call on it, is to win grace and unction. Let us take it point by point. What, thinkest thou, hath made the light of faith so suddenly and so brightly to shine in the whole world but the preaching of the Name of Jesus? Is it not in the light of this Name that God hath called us into His marvellous light, even that light wherewith we being enlightened, and in His light seeing light, Paul saith truly of us: Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Let them that know thy Name put their trust in thee
* For Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
℣. Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for thy Name's sake.
℟. For Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Hoc dénique nomen coram régibus, et géntibus, et fíliis Israël portáre jussus est idem Apóstolus; et portábat nomen tamquam lumen, et illuminábat pátriam, et clamábat ubíque: Nox præcéssit, dies autem appropinquávit. Abiciámus ergo ópera tenebrárum, et induámur arma lucis, sicut in die honéste ambulémus. Et monstrábat ómnibus lucérnam super candelábrum, annúntians in omni loco Jesum, et hunc crucifíxum. Quómodo lux ista resplénduit ac perstrínxit cunctórum intuéntium óculos, quando de ore Petri, tamquam fulgur egrédiens, claudi uníus corporáles plantas solidávit et bases, multósque spirituáliter cæcos illuminávit? Numquid non ignem sparsit, cum ait: In nómine Jesu Christi Nazaréni surge et ámbula?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Confiteámur nómini tuo magno,

This is the Name which the Apostle was commanded to bear before Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel, the Name which he bore as a light to enlighten his people, crying everywhere The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light, let us walk honestly as in the dayligth, He pointed out to all that candle set upon a candlestick, preaching in every place Jesus and Him crucified. How did that Name shine forth and dazzle every eye that beheld it, when it came like lightning out of the mouth of Peter to give bodily strength to the feet of the lame man, and to clear the sight of many a blind soul? Cast he not fire when he said: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

* For it is terrible and holy.

Nec tantum lux est nomen Jesu, sed est et cibus. An non tóties confortáris, quóties recordáris? Quid æque méntem cogitántis impínguat? Quid ita exercitátos réparat sensus, virtútes róborat, végetat mores bonos atque honéstos, castas fovet affectiónes? Aridus est omnis ánimæ cibus, si non óleo isto infúnditur; insípidus est, si non hoc sale condítur. Si scribas, non sapit mihi, nisi légero ibi Jesum. Si dísputes aut cónferas, non sapit mihi, nisi sonúerit ibi Jesus. Jesus mel in ore, in aure melos, in corde júbilus. Sed est et medicína. Tristátur áliquis nostrum? Véniat in cor ejus Jesus, et inde sáliat in os. Et ecce ad exórtum nóminis lumen, núbilum omne díffugit, redit serénum. Lábitur quis in crimen? currit ínsuper ad láqueum mortis desperándo?

Reading 6
The Name of Jesus is not a Name of light only, but it is meat also. Dost thou ever call it to mind, and remain unstrengthened? Is there anything like it to enrich the soul of him that thinketh of it? What is there like it to restore the weakened senses, to fortify strength, to give birth to good lives and pure affections? The soul is fed on husks if that whereon it feedeth lack seasoning with this salt. If thou writest, thou hast no meaning for me if I read not of Jesus there. If thou preach, or dispute, thou hast no meaning for me if I hear not of Jesus there. The mention of Jesus is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, and gladness in the heart. It is our healing too. Is any sorrowful among us? Let the thought of Jesus come into his heart, and spring to his mouth. Behold, when the day of that Name beginneth to break, every cloud will flee away, and there will be a great calm. Doth any fall into sin? Doth any draw nigh to an hopeless death? And if he but call on the life-giving Name of Jesus, will he not draw the breath of a new life again?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O Lord, let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy because Thou dwellest in them
* Let them also that love thy Name be joyful in thee.
℣. They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance; and in thy Name shall they rejoice all the day.
℟. Let them also that love thy Name be joyful in thee.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

In illo témpore: Postquam consummáti sunt dies octo, ut circumciderétur Puer: vocátum est nomen ejus Jesus. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Bernárdi Abbátis
Sermo 1 de Circumcisione
Magnum et mirábile sacraméntum! Circumcíditur Puer, et vocátur Jesus. Quid sibi vult ista connéxio? Circumcísio nempe magis salvándi, quam Salvatóris esse vidétur; et Salvatórem circumcídere pótius decet, quam circumcídi. Sed agnósce mediatórem Dei et hóminum, qui ab ipso nativitátis suæ exórdio divínis humána sóciat, ima summis. Náscitur ex mulíere, sed cui fecunditátis fructus sic accédat, ut non décidat flos virginitátis. Pannis invólvitur; sed panni ipsi angélicis láudibus honorántur. Abscónditur in præsépio; sed próditur radiánte stella de cælo. Sic et circumcísio veritátem suscéptæ probat humanitátis; et nomen, quod est super omne nomen, glóriam índicat majestátis. Circumcíditur tamquam verus Abrahæ fílius; Jesus vocátur tamquam verus Fílius Dei.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Tribulatiónem et dolórem invéni:

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 2:21
In that time: when eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb. And so on.
Homily by St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux)
1st on the Circumcision
Behold a mystery, great and full of wonder! The Child is circumcised, and His Name is called Jesus. Why are these two things thus mentioned together? It would seem that circumcision should rather be for the saved than for the Saviour; that the Saviour ought rather to be Circumciser than circumcised. But behold here the Mediator between God and men, how even from His childhood He joineth the things of the Highest to the things of the lowest, the things of God to the things of men. He is born of a woman, but her womb is made fruitful without the loss of the flower of her virginity. He is wrapped in swaddling-bands, but these swaddling-bands are a theme for the jubilation of angels. He is laid in a manger, but a bright star standeth in heaven over the place. So also in His circumcision, the ceremony gave proof of the reality of the Manhood which He had taken, and that Name which is above every name proclaimed the glory of His Blessed Majesty. As very son of Abraham He underwent circumcision; He assumed the Name of Jesus as very Son of God.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Sorrow and trouble did I find.
* Then called I upon the Name of the Lord.
℣. The Name of the Lord is a strong tower; I trusted in Him and I am helped.
℟. Then called I upon the Name of the Lord.

Neque enim ad ínstar priórum meus iste Jesus nomen vácuum aut ináne portat: non est in eo magni nóminis umbra, sed véritas. Cǽlitus síquidem índitum nomen Evangelísta testátur, quod vocátum est ab Angelo, priúsquam in útero conciperétur. Et atténde verbi profunditátem: Postquam natus est Jesus, Jesus vocátur ab homínibus, qui vocátus est ab Angelo, priúsquam in útero conciperétur. Idem quippe et Angeli Salvátor et hóminis; sed hóminis ab incarnatióne, Angeli ab inítio creatúræ. Vocátum est, ait, nomen ejus Jesus, quod vocátum est ab Angelo. In ore ergo duórum vel trium téstium stat omne verbum; et ipsum, quod in Prophéta abbreviátum, maniféstius in Evangélio légitur caro factum.

Why Jesus beareth not that Name as others have borne it before Him, as a vain and empty title. It is not in Him the shadow of a great Name, but the very meaning of that Name. That His Name was revealed from heaven, is attested by the Evangelist, where it is written, Which was so named of the Angel before He was conceived in the womb. After Jesus was born, men called Him Jesus, but angels called Him Jesus, before He was conceived in the womb. The One Lord is the Saviour of angels and of men; of men, since His Incarnation; of angels, from the beginning of their creation. His Name, saith the Evangelist, was called Jesus, which was so named of the Angel before He was conceived in the womb. In the mouth therefore of two or three witnesses is every word established; and that word whereof the Prophet spoke as cut short, is set forth at length in the Gospel: the Word made Flesh.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O Lord, I will wait on thy Name.
* For it is good before thy Saints.
℣. To give thanks unto thy Holy Name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tract. 9 in Joannem, post initium
Quod Dóminus invitátus venit ad núptias, étiam excépta mýstica significatióne, confirmáre vóluit, quod ipse fecit núptias. Futúri enim erant, de quibus dixit Apóstolus, prohibéntes núbere, et dicéntes quod malum essent núptiæ, et quod diábolus eas fecísset: cum idem Dóminus dicat in Evangélio interrogátus, utrum líceat hómini dimíttere uxórem suam ex quálibet causa, non licére, excépta causa fornicatiónis. In qua responsióne, si meminístis, hoc ait: Quod Deus conjúnxit, homo non séparet.

Commemoration of Sunday
From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 2:1-11
At that time, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
Tract. 9 in John
Even setting aside any mystical interpretation, the fact that the Lord was pleased to be asked, and to go to a marriage, showeth plainly enough that He is the Author and Blesser of marriage. There were yet to be those of whom the Apostle hath warned us as forbidding to marry; who say that marriage is a bad thing in itself, and a work of the devil. Yet we read in the Gospel that when the Lord was asked, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? He answered that it was not lawful, except it were for fornication. In which answer ye will remember that He used these words: What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. 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.
