Hymn {Votive}
Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and, with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move;
from celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned.
Bright thy gates of pearl are shining;
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who for Christ's dear Name in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever Three, and ever One,
consubstantial, coeternal,
while unending ages run.
Amen.

67:12 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings, * with great power.
67:13 The king of powers is of the beloved, * of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.

Psalm 67(20-36) [6]
67:20 Blessed be the Lord day by day: * the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
67:21 Our God is the God of salvation: * and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
67:22 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: * the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
67:23 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, * I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
67:24 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; * the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
67:25 They have seen thy goings, O God, * the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
67:26 Princes went before joined with singers, * in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
67:27 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, * from the fountains of Israel.
67:28 There is Benjamin a youth, * in ecstasy of mind.
67:28 The princes of Juda are their leaders: * the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
67:29 Command thy strength, O God: * confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
67:30 From thy temple in Jerusalem, * kings shall offer presents to thee.
67:31 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; * who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver.
67:32 Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars: ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: * Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
67:33 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: * sing ye to the Lord:
67:34 Sing ye to God, who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, * to the east.
67:35 Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power: * give ye glory to God for Israel, * his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.

13 If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people:
14 And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

Psalmus 70 [10]
70:1 In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum: * in iustítia tua líbera me, et éripe me.
70:2 Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * et salva me.
70:3 Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in locum munítum: * ut salvum me fácias,
70:3 Quóniam firmaméntum meum, * et refúgium meum es tu.
70:4 Deus meus, éripe me de manu peccatóris, * et de manu contra legem agéntis et iníqui:
70:5 Quóniam tu es patiéntia mea, Dómine: * Dómine, spes mea a iuventúte mea.
70:6 In te confirmátus sum ex útero: * de ventre matris meæ tu es protéctor meus.
70:7 In te cantátio mea semper: * tamquam prodígium factus sum multis: et tu adiútor fortis.
70:8 Repleátur os meum laude, ut cantem glóriam tuam: * tota die magnitúdinem tuam.
70:9 Ne proícias me in témpore senectútis: * cum defécerit virtus mea, ne derelínquas me.
70:10 Quia dixérunt inimíci mei mihi: * et qui custodiébant ánimam meam, consílium fecérunt in unum.
70:11 Dicéntes: Deus derelíquit eum, persequímini, et comprehéndite eum: * quia non est qui erípiat.
70:12 Deus, ne elongéris a me: * Deus meus, in auxílium meum réspice.
70:13 Confundántur, et defíciant detrahéntes ánimæ meæ: * operiántur confusióne, et pudóre qui quǽrunt mala mihi.
70:14 Ego autem semper sperábo: * et adíciam super omnem laudem tuam.
70:15 Os meum annuntiábit iustítiam tuam: * tota die salutáre tuum.
70:16 Quóniam non cognóvi litteratúram, introíbo in poténtias Dómini: * Dómine, memorábor iustítiæ tuæ solíus.
70:17 Deus, docuísti me a iuventúte mea: * et usque nunc pronuntiábo mirabília tua.
70:18 Et usque in senéctam et sénium: * Deus, ne derelínquas me,
70:18 Donec annúntiem brácchium tuum * generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est:
70:19 Poténtiam tuam, et iustítiam 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.
70:23 Exsultábunt lábia mea cum cantávero tibi: * et ánima mea, quam redemísti.

Psalm 70 [10]
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.
70:6 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: * from my mother’s womb thou art my protector.
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.
70:10 For my enemies have spoken against me; * and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
70:11 Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, * for there is none to deliver him.
70:12 O God, be not thou far from me: * O my God, make haste to my help.
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.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 72 [12]
72:1 Quam bonus Israël Deus, * his, qui recto sunt corde!
72:2 Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes: * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei.
72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.
72:4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.
72:5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:
72:6 Ídeo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.
72:7 Pródiit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum: * transiérunt in afféctum cordis.
72:8 Cogitavérunt, et locúti sunt nequítiam: * iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.
72:9 Posuérunt in cælum os suum: * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
72:10 Ídeo convertétur pópulus meus hic: * et dies pleni inveniéntur in eis.
72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?
72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.
72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa iustificávi 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.
72:18 Verúmtamen propter dolos posuísti eis: * deiecísti eos dum allevaréntur.
72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.
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 iuméntum 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?
72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.
72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:
72:28 Ut annúntiem omnes prædicatiónes tuas, * in portis fíliæ Sion.

Psalm 72 [12]
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.
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:
72:17 Until I go into the sanctuary of God, * and understand concerning their last ends.
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.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

From the Sermons of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
252nd for the Season.
Dearly beloved brethren, as often as we keep the Dedication-Feast of some Altar or Church, if we think faithfully and carefully, and live holily and righteously, that which is done in temples made with hands, is done in our soul by a spiritual building. He at the Dedication of the Temple. lied not who said: The temple of God is holy; which temple ye are i Cor. iii. 17, and again: Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, Which is in you, vi. 19.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Sed habitáculum cordis nostri evacuétur vítiis, et virtútibus repleátur; claudátur diabolo, et aperiátur Christo.

And therefore, dearly beloved brethren, since by the grace of God, without any foregoing deserts of our own, we have been made meet to become the Temple of God, let us work as hard as we can, with His help, that our Lord may not find in His Temple, that is, in us, anything to offend the eyes of His Majesty. Let the Tabernacle of our heart be swept clean of vices and filled with virtues. Let it be locked to the devil, and thrown open to Christ. Yea, let us so work, that we may be able to open the door of the kingdom of heaven with the key of good works.

For even as evil works are so many bolts and bars to close against us the entrance into life, so beyond doubt are good works the key thereto. And therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let each one look into his own conscience, and when he findeth the wounds of guilt there, let him first strive by prayers, fasting, or alms deeds to purge his conscience, and so let him dare to take the Eucharist.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

For if he acknowledge his iniquity, and withdraw himself from the Altar of God, he will soon attain unto the mercy of the pardon of God, for, as he that exalted himself shall be abased, so shall he that humbleth himself be exalted.

Luc 19:1-10
In illo témpore: Ingréssus Iesus perambulábat Iéricho. Et ecce vir nómine Zachǽus: et hic princeps erat publicanórum, et ipse dives. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi
Lib. 8 in Luc., prope finem
Zachǽus, statúra pusíllus, hoc est, nulla nobilitátis ingénitæ dignitáte sublímis, éxiguus méritis sicut pópulus natiónum, audíto Dómini Salvatóris advéntu, quem sui non recéperant, vidére cupiébat. Sed nemo fácile Iesum videt; nemo potest Iesum vidére constitútus in terra. Et, quia non prophétas, non legem habébat, tamquam formæ grátiam naturális, ascéndit in sycómorum, vanitátem scílicet Iudæórum vestígio suo próterens, erráta quoque córrigens superióris ætátis. Et ídeo Iesum in interióris domus recépit hospítio.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Domus mea, domus oratiónis vocábitur, dicit Dóminus: in ea omnis qui petit, áccipit; et qui quærit, ínvenit;

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 19:1-10
At that time: Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And so on.
Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.
Bk. viii. on Luke.
Zacchaeus was little of stature, that is, he was not raised aloft among men by nobility of birth, and, like the most of the world, he possessed few merits. When he heard that the Lord and Saviour, Who had come unto His Own, and Whom His Own had not received, John i. 11, was coming, he desired to see Him. But the sight of Jesus is not easy; to any on the earth it is impossible. And since Zacchaeus had neither the Prophets, nor yet the Law, as a gracious help to his nature, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, raising his feet above the vanity of the Jews, and straightening the crooked branches of his former life, and therefore he received Jesus to lodge within his house.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. My house shall be called the house of prayer, saith the Lord. Therein, he that asketh, receiveth; he that seeketh, findeth;
* And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened, alleluia.
℣. Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find.
℟. And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened, alleluia.

℣. Iube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ille nos benedícat, qui sine fine vivit et regnat. Amen.

Et bene ascéndit in árborem, ut arbor bona bonos fructus fáceret, ac, naturáli excísus oleástro et contra natúram insértus in bonam olívam, fructum posset legis afférre. Radix enim sancta, etsi rami inútiles. Quorum infructuósam glóriam plebs géntium, fide resurrectiónis, quasi quadam córporis elevatióne, transcéndit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Lápides pretiósi omnes muri tui,
* Et turres Ierúsalem gemmis ædificabúntur, allelúia.
℣. Portæ Ierúsalem ex sapphíro et smarágdo ædificabúntur, et ex lápide pretióso omnis circúitus muri eius.

He did well to climb up into a tree, that a good tree might bring forth good fruits, Matth. vii. 17, and that the slip of the wild olive, grafted, contrary to nature, into the good olive, might bring forth the fruits of the law. Rom. xi. 17, 24. For the root is holy, however unprofitable the branches. Their barren beauty hath now been overshadowed by the belief of the Gentiles in the Resurrection, as by a material upgrowth.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Zacchaeus, then, was in the sycamore tree, and the blind man by the way-side, xviii. 35. For the one, Jesus stood waiting to show mercy, and asked him before He healed him, what he would that He should do for him; being unbidden of the other, He bade Himself to be his Guest, knowing how rich was the reward of receiving Him. Nevertheless, albeit He had heard no words of invitation, yet had He seen how his heart went.

But lest we should seem haughtily to pass by the poor blind man, and to hurry on to the rich one, let us stand waiting for him, as the Lord stood and waited; let us ask of him, as Christ asked of him. Let us ask, because we are ignorant; Christ asked, because He knew. Let us ask, that we may know whence he received his cure; Christ asked, that all of us may know from one example where through we are to earn a sight of the Lord. Christ asked, that we might believe that none, save they that confess Him, can be saved.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Continuation +︎ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 19:1-10
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho. And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus; and he was a leading publican, and he was rich. And he was trying to see Jesus, Who He was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay in your house today. And he made haste and came down, and welcomed Him joyfully. And upon seeing it all began to murmur, saying, He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner. But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, I give one-half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold. Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, since he, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
℟. 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.

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.

9:25 Exacerbávit Dóminum peccátor, * secúndum multitúdinem iræ suæ non quǽret.
9:26 Non est Deus in conspéctu eius: * inquinátæ sunt viæ illíus in omni témpore.
9:26 Auferúntur iudícia tua a fácie eius: * ómnium inimicórum suórum dominábitur.
9:27 Dixit enim in corde suo: * Non movébor a generatióne in generatiónem sine malo.
9:28 Cuius maledictióne os plenum est, et amaritúdine, et dolo: * sub lingua eius labor et dolor.
9:29 Sedet in insídiis cum divítibus in occúltis: * ut interfíciat innocéntem.
9:30 Óculi eius in páuperem respíciunt: * insidiátur in abscóndito, quasi leo in spelúnca sua.
9:30 Insidiátur ut rápiat páuperem: * rápere páuperem, dum áttrahit eum.
9:31 In láqueo suo humiliábit eum: * inclinábit se, et cadet, cum dominátus fúerit páuperum.
9:32 Dixit enim in corde suo: Oblítus est Deus, * avértit fáciem suam ne vídeat in finem.
9:33 Exsúrge, Dómine Deus, exaltétur manus tua: * ne obliviscáris páuperum.
9:34 Propter quid irritávit ímpius Deum? * dixit enim in corde suo: Non requíret.
9:35 Vides quóniam tu labórem et dolórem consíderas: * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
9:35 Tibi derelíctus est pauper: * órphano tu eris adiútor.
9:36 Cóntere brácchium peccatóris et malígni: * quærétur peccátum illíus, et non inveniétur.
9:37 Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum, et in sǽculum sǽculi: * períbitis, gentes, de terra illíus.
9:38 Desidérium páuperum exaudívit Dóminus: * præparatiónem cordis eórum audívit auris tua.

Ant. Holiness becometh thine house, * O Lord, for ever, alleluia.
Psalm 9(20-39) [1]
9:20 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: * let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
9:21 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: * that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
9:22 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? * why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
9:23 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: * they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
9:24 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: * and the unjust man is blessed.
9:25 The sinner hath provoked the Lord, * according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him.
9:26 God is not before his eyes: * his ways are filthy at all times.
9:26 Thy judgments are removed from his sight: * he shall rule over all his enemies.
9:27 For he hath said in his heart: * I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
9:28 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: * under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
9:29 He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, * that he may kill the innocent.
9:30 His eyes are upon the poor man: * he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den.
9:30 He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: * so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
9:31 In his net he will bring him down, * he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
9:32 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, * he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.
9:33 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: * forget not the poor.
9:34 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? * for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
9:35 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: * that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
9:35 To thee is the poor man left: * thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
9:36 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: * his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
9:37 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: * ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
9:38 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: * thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
9:39 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, * that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon 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.

Psalmus 10 [2]
10:2 In Dómino confído: quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
10:3 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
10:4 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * iustus autem quid fecit?
10:5 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cælo sedes eius.
10:5 Óculi eius in páuperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ eius intérrogant fílios hóminum.
10:6 Dóminus intérrogat iustum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
10:7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
10:8 Quóniam iustus Dóminus, et iustítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus eius.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalm 10 [2]
10:2 In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow?
10:3 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow: they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
10:4 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
10:5 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
10:5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
10:6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.
10:7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone, and storms of winds, shall be the portion of their cup.
10:8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 11 [3]
11:2 Salvum me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus: * quóniam diminútæ sunt veritátes a fíliis hóminum.
11:3 Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum: * lábia dolósa, in corde et corde locúti sunt.
11:4 Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa, * et linguam magníloquam.
11:5 Qui dixérunt: Linguam nostram magnificábimus, lábia nostra a nobis sunt, * quis noster Dóminus est?
11:6 Propter misériam ínopum, et gémitum páuperum, * nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus.
11:6 Ponam in salutári: * fiduciáliter agam in eo.
11:7 Elóquia Dómini, elóquia casta: * argéntum igne examinátum, probátum terræ purgátum séptuplum.

Psalm 11 [3]
11:2 Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: * truths are decayed from among the children of men.
11:3 They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: * with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
11:4 May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, * and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
11:5 Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; * who is Lord over us?
11:6 By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, * now will I arise, saith the Lord.
11:6 I will set him in safety; * I will deal confidently in his regard.
11:7 The words of the Lord are pure words: * as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
11:8 Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us * from this generation for ever.
11:9 The wicked walk round about: * according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

Martyrologium (anticip.)
April 8th 2021, the 25th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Alexandria, the holy martyr Edesius, brother of the blessed Apphian. Under the Emperor Maximian Galerius he openly rebuked the wicked judge for condemning to the lions the virgins vowed to God, wherefore he was apprehended by the soldiers, put to most cruel torments, and drowned in the sea, for the Lord Christ's sake.
In Africa, the holy martyrs Januarius, Maxima, and Macaria.
At Carthage, the holy martyr Concessa.
On the same day are commemorated holy Herodion, Asyncritus, and Phlegon, concerning whom the blessed Apostle Paul writeth in his Epistle unto the Romans.
At Corinth, blessed Denis, Bishop of that city, who by the learning and grace which he had in the Word of God, taught by his epistles not only the people of his own city and province but also the bishops of other provinces and cities, and who had such a veneration for the Popes of Rome that he was used to have their Epistles publicly read in the Church upon the Lord's Day. He flourished in the times of the Emperors Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus.
At Tours, [in the year 494,] holy Perpetuus, Bishop of that see, a man of wonderful holiness.
At Fiorentino, in Campania, holy Redemptus, [in the year 586,] Bishop of that see, of whom mention is made by blessed Pope Gregory.
At Como, the holy Confessor Amantius, Bishop of that see, [about the year 446.]
℣. 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.

Regula
The Rule of our Holy Father Benedict. Chapter 55: Concerning the Brethren’s Clothes and Shoes
Let there be given to the brethren clothing suitable to the character and climate of the place where they live, since in cold regions one wants more and in hot regions less; and this the abbot has to take into consideration: we however are of opinion that a cowl and a tunic each is sufficient for monks in temperate localities, in winter a cowl of shaggy stuff, in summer one of smooth stuff or one old and worn; together with a scapular for work; and, as covering for the feet, sandals and shoes. Concerning the colour or coarseness of all these things let not the monks trouble themselves, but let them be such as can be obtained in the province in which they live and that can be bought fairly cheaply: but as to the size of the garments let the abbot have a care that they be not too small, but of proper size for the wearers. When receiving new clothes let them always at the same time return the old to be put away in the wardrobe for the poor; for it suffices a monk to have two tunics and two cowls, two instead of one, to provide for having to wash them and for night-wear; for anything in excess of this ought to be taken away as superfluous. And similarly shoes and anything else that is old let them give back when they receive new ones. Let those who are sent on a journey receive drawers from the wardrobe and take them back washed on their return. And let there be cowls and tunics somewhat better than they usually have, which those going on a journey may receive from the wardrobe and take back on their return.

Hymn
Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and, with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move;
from celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned.
Bright thy gates of pearl are shining;
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who for Christ's dear Name in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever Three, and ever One,
consubstantial, coeternal,
while unending ages run.
Amen.
℣. Holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, alleluia.

90:15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: * I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
90:16 I will fill him with length of days; * and I will shew him my salvation.

Hymnus
Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut sólita cleméntia
Sis præsul ad custódiam.
Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nóstrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.
Præsta, Pater omnípotens,
Per Iesum Christum Dóminum,
Qui tecum in perpétuum
Regnat cum Sancto Spíritu.
Amen.

Hymn
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.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
