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. Let it not be vain for you to rise up early, before the light: * For the Lord hath promised a crown to them that watch.

Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum tempora}
Ex more docti mýstico
Servémus hoc ieiúnium,
Deno diérum círculo
Ducto quater notíssimo.

Lex et prophétæ prímitus
Hoc prætulérunt, póstmodum
Christus sacrávit, ómnium
Rex atque factor témporum.

Utámur ergo párcius
Verbis, cibis et pótibus,
Somno, iocis, et árctius
Perstémus in custódia.

Vitémus autem péssima,
Quæ súbruunt mentes vagas:
Nullúmque demus cállidi
Hostis locum tyránnidi.

Dicámus omnes cérnui:
Clamémus atque sínguli,
Plorémus ante Iúdicem,
Flectámus iram víndicem,

Nostris malis offéndimus
Tuam, Deus, cleméntiam:
Effúnde nobis désuper,
Remíssor, indulgéntiam.

Meménto quod sumus tui,
Licet cadúci, plásmatis:
Ne des honórem nóminis
Tui, precámur, álteri.

Laxa malum, quod fécimus,
Auge bonum, quod póscimus:
Placére quo tandem tibi
Possímus hic, et pérpetim.

Præsta, beáta Trínitas,
Concéde, simplex Únitas,
Ut fructuósa sint tuis
Ieiuniórum múnera.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
The fast, as taught by holy lore,
We keep in solemn course once more:
The fast to all men known, and bound
In forty days of yearly round.

The law and seers that were of old
In diverse ways this Lent foretold,
Which Christ, all seasons’ King and Guide,
In after ages sanctified.

More sparing therefore let us make
The words we speak, the food we take,
Our sleep and mirth, —and closer barred
Be every sense in holy guard.

Avoid the evil thoughts that roll
Like waters o’er the heedless soul;
Nor let the foe occasion find
Our souls in slavery to bind.

In prayer together let us fall,
And cry for mercy, one and all,
And weep before the Judge’s feet,
And his avenging wrath entreat.

Thy grace have we offended sore,
By sins, O God, which we deplore;
But pour upon us from on high,
O pardoning One, thy clemency.

Remember thou, though frail we be,
That yet thine handiwork are we;
Nor let the honour of thy name
Be by another put to shame.

Forgive the sin that we have wrought;
Increase the good that we have sought:
That we at length, our wanderings o'er,
May please thee here and evermore.

Grant O thou Blessed Trinity,
Grant, O Essential Unity,
That this our fast of forty days
May work our profit and thy praise.
Amen.

21:8 Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput.
21:9 Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.
21:10 Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ. In te proiéctus sum ex útero:

21:12 Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádiuvet.

Psalm 21 [2]
21:2 O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
21:3 O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
21:4 But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
21:5 In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
21:6 They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
21:7 But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
21:8 All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
21:9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
21:10 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb.
21:11 From my mother’s womb thou art my God, * depart not from me.
21:12 For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.
21:13 Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
21:14 They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring.
21:15 I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered.
21:15 My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels.
21:16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
21:17 For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me.
21:17 They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
21:18 And they have looked and stared upon me. * They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
21:20 But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence.
21:21 Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog.
21:22 Save me from the lion’s mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
21:23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
21:24 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
21:25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man.
21:25 Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me.
21:26 With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
21:27 The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
21:28 All the ends of the earth * shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord:
21:28 And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight.
21:29 For the kingdom is the Lord’s; * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
21:30 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
21:31 And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him.
21:32 There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: * and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Gen 27:5-12
5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,
6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:
7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.
8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:
9 And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:
10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.
11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.
12 If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:

23 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.
25 Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,
26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.
27 He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which Lord hath blessed.
28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.
29 And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let they mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.

30:3 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.
30:7 But I have hoped in the Lord: * I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy.
30:8 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.
30:11 My strength is weakened through poverty * and my bones are disturbed.
30:12 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; * and a fear to my acquaintance.
30:12 They that saw me without fled from me. * I am forgotten as one dead from the heart.
30:13 I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. * For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about.
30:14 While they assembled together against me, * they consulted to take away my life.
30:15 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: * I said: Thou art my God. My lots are in thy hands.
30:16 Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; * and from them that persecute me
30:17 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.
30:18 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!
30:20 Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, * in the sight of the sons of men.
30:21 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, * from the disturbance of men.
30:21 Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle * from the contradiction of tongues.
30:22 Blessed be the Lord, * for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
30:23 But I said in the excess of my mind: * I am cast away from before thy eyes.
30:23 Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, * when I cried to thee.
30:24 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: * for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.

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.
31:5 I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
31:6 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee * in a seasonable time.
31:6 And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come nigh unto him.
31:7 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.

Cap. 10, tom. 4; post init.
Iacob quod matre fecit auctore, ut patrem fállere viderétur, si diligenter et fideliter attendátur, non est mendácium, sed mystérium. Quæ si mendacia dixérimus, omnes étiam parabolæ ac figuræ significandárum quarumcúmque rerum, quæ non ad proprietátem accipiéndæ sunt, sed in eis aliud ex alio est intelligéndum, dicéntur esse mendacia: quod absit omníno.

From the Book against Lying written by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
Ch. ix, tom. 4
If we consider faithfully and carefully what it was that Jacob did by the advice of his mother, and wherein he seemeth to have deceived his father, it will appear that (it hath an aspect in which) it is not a lie, but an allegory. If we denounce this (its mystic sense) as a lie, then must we also give the name of lies to even all parable, and to every figure devised to set forth the nature of anything, which is not to be taken in its literal sense, but in which one thing is to be understood under the name of another. And this be far from us.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. As Jacob went out from his own land, he saw the glory of God, and said: How dreadful is this place.
* This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.
℣. Surely God is in this place, and I knew it not.

Quæ significántur enim, útique ipsa dicúntur: putántur autem mendacia, quóniam non ea quæ vere significántur, dicta intelligúntur; sed ea, quæ falsa sunt, dicta esse credúntur.

Whoso should do this, would bring the charge of falsehood against very many figures of speech, including that one called metaphor (in which a word is transferred from that meaning which belongeth to it, to some other) to which would, by such reasoning, be given the name of a lie. The deep meaning is given; but what is considered is the lie because men do not understand the way in which that signification, which is a truth, is set forth but the falsehood is plainly expressed, and believed.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. If the Lord my God will be with me, in this way that I go, and will keep me, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, and will bring me again safely.
* The Lord shall be my refuge, and this stone shall be a sign.

Si autem hoc factum ad illud, propter quod significándum revéra factum est, referátur: per hædinas pelles, peccáta; per eum vero, qui eis se opéruit, ille significátus est, qui non sua, sed aliena peccáta portávit.

That we may understand this more plainly by taking some points in illustration, consider with me what Jacob did. It is certain that he covered his limbs with the skins of goats. If we consider his object in point of fact, we shall find that it was to lie, because he did this that he might be thought to be he who he was not. But if we consider this his deed in that deep typical sense which it undoubtedly possesseth, we find that by the goat-skins are represented sins, and by him who covered himself therewith Him Who bore not His own sins, but the sins of others.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be called God's house, and of all that Thou shalt give me;

Verax ergo significátio nullo modo mendácium recte dici potest: ut autem in facto, ita et in verbo. Nam cum ei pater dixísset: Quis es tu, fili? ille respóndit: Ego sum Esau primogénitus tuus. Hoc si referátur ad duos illos géminos, mendácium vidébitur: si autem ad illud, propter quod significándum ista gesta díctaque conscripta sunt; ille est hic intelligendus in corpore suo, quod est eius Ecclésia, qui de hac re loquens, ait: Cum vidéritis Abraham, et Isaac et Iacob et omnes Prophétas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras. Et, Venient ab Oriénte et Occidénte, et Aquilóne et Austro, et accúmbent in regno Dei. Et, Ecce sunt novíssimi qui erant primi: et sunt primi, qui erant novíssimi.

It is impossible to apply the term a "lie" to that mystic aspect of this transaction in which it was true and such an aspect there is, not only in the acts, but in the words. When Isaac said to Jacob: "Who art thou, my son" and Jacob answered: “I am Esau, thy first-born”, if we take this in its sense relative to the two brothers, it will be apparent that it was a lie. If, however, we look at it relatively to that for the sake of which these words and deeds were written down, we shall see that Christ is here signified in His mystic body, the Church. Concerning her, (the younger covenant,) He saith (to them of the older covenant): "Ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last." Luke xiii. 28-30.

De Homilía sancti Leónis Papæ
Ex Homil. de Transfiguratione Domini
Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et fratrem eius Ioánnem, et conscénso cum eis seórsum monte præcélso, claritátem suæ glóriæ demonstrávit: quia licet intellexíssent in eo maiestátem Dei, ipsíus tamen córporis, quo divínitas tegebátur, poténtiam nesciébant. Et ídeo próprie signantérque promíserat, quosdam de astántibus discípulis non prius gustáre mortem, quam vidérent Fílium hóminis veniéntem in regno suo, id est, in régia claritáte, quam spiritáliter ad natúram suscépti hóminis pertinéntem, his tribus viris vóluit esse conspícuam.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 17:1-9
At that time, Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And so on.

Homily by Pope St. Leo the Great.
From a homily on the Transfiguration of the Lord
Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an exceeding high mountain apart, and manifested forth the brightness of His glory. Hitherto, though they understood that there was in Him the Majesty of God, they knew not the power of that Body which veiled the Godhead. And therefore He had individually and markedly promised to some of the disciples that had stood by Him Matth. xvi. 28 that they should “not taste of death till they had seen the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”, that is, in the kingly splendour, which is the right of the Manhood taken into God, and which He willed to make visible to those three men.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The Angel said unto Jacob
* Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he blessed him there.
℣. And when Jacob arose, behold there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day and, when he saw that he prevailed not, he said unto him
℟. Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he blessed him there.
℣. Iube, domne, benedícere.

This it was that they saw, for the unspeakable and unapproachable vision of the Godhead Himself which will be the everlasting life of the pure in heart, Matth. v. 8 can no man, who is still burdened with a dying body, see and live. When the Father saith: “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him” did they not plainly hear Him say: “This is My Son, Whose it is to be of Me and with Me without all time. For neither is He That begetteth, before Him That is begotten, neither He That is begotten, after Him That begetteth Him.”
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

This is My Son between Whom and Me, to be God is not a point of difference to be Almighty, a point of separation nor to be Eternal, a point of distinction. "This is My Son not by adoption, but My very Own; not created from, or of another substance, or out of nothing, but begotten of Me not of another nature, and made like unto Me, but of Mine own Being, born of Me, equal unto Me.” “This is My Son by Whom all things were made, and without Whom was not anything made that was made, John i. 3 Who maketh likewise all things whatsoever I make and what things soever I do He doeth likewise, v. 19, inseparably and indifferently."

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 17:1-9
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking together with Him. Then Peter addressed Jesus, saying, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us set up three tents here, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elias. As he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him. And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them, Arise, and do not be afraid. But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus cautioned them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of Man has risen from the dead.
℟. Amen

Thou art worthy of praise, thou art worthy of hymns, to Thee be glory: to God the Father and the Son with the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
