Hymnus {Votiva}
Urbs beáta Ierúsalem,
Dicta pacis vísio,
Quæ constrúitur in cælis
Vivis ex lapídibus,
Et Ángelis coronáta
Ut sponsáta cómite.

Nova véniens e cælo,
Nuptiáli thálamo
Præparáta, ut sponsáta
Copulétur Dómino:
Platéæ et muri eius
Ex auro puríssimo.

Portæ nitent margarítis
Ádytis paténtibus,
Et virtúte meritórum
Illuc introdúcitur
Omnis qui ob Christi nomen
Hic in mundo prémitur.

Tunsiónibus, pressúris
Expolíti lápides,
Suis coaptántur locis
Per manus artíficis,
Disponúntur permansúri
Sacris ædifíciis.

Glória et honor Deo
Usquequáque altíssimo,
Una Patri, Filióque,
Inclyto Paráclito,
Cui laus est et potéstas
Per ætérna sǽcula.
Amen.
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.

88:21 Invéni David, servum meum: * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.
88:22 Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei: * et brácchium meum confortábit eum.
88:23 Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non appónet nocére ei.
88:24 Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos eius: * et odiéntes eum in fugam convértam.
88:25 Et véritas mea, et misericórdia mea cum ipso: * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu eius.
88:26 Et ponam in mari manum eius: * et in flumínibus déxteram eius.
88:27 Ipse invocábit me: Pater meus es tu: * Deus meus, et suscéptor salútis meæ.
88:28 Et ego primogénitum ponam illum * excélsum præ régibus terræ.
88:29 In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam: * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.
88:30 Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen eius: * et thronum eius sicut dies cæli.
88:31 Si autem derelíquerint fílii eius legem meam: * et in iudíciis meis non ambuláverint:
88:32 Si iustítias meas profanáverint: * et mandáta mea non custodíerint:
88:33 Visitábo in virga iniquitátes eórum: * et in verbéribus peccáta eórum.
88:34 Misericórdiam autem meam non dispérgam ab eo: * neque nocébo in veritáte mea:
88:35 Neque profanábo testaméntum meum: * et quæ procédunt de lábiis meis, non fáciam írrita.
88:36 Semel iurávi in sancto meo: Si David méntiar: * semen eius in ætérnum manébit.
88:37 Et thronus eius sicut sol in conspéctu meo, * et sicut luna perfécta in ætérnum: et testis in cælo fidélis.
88:39 Tu vero repulísti et despexísti: * distulísti Christum tuum.
88:40 Evertísti testaméntum servi tui: * profanásti in terra Sanctuárium eius.
88:41 Destruxísti omnes sepes eius: * posuísti firmaméntum eius formídinem.
88:42 Diripuérunt eum omnes transeúntes viam: * factus est oppróbrium vicínis suis.
88:43 Exaltásti déxteram depriméntium eum: * lætificásti omnes inimícos eius.
88:44 Avertísti adiutórium gládii eius: * et non es auxiliátus ei in bello.
88:45 Destruxísti eum ab emundatióne: * et sedem eius in terram collisísti.
88:46 Minorásti dies témporis eius: * perfudísti eum confusióne.
88:47 Úsquequo, Dómine, avértis in finem: * exardéscet sicut ignis ira tua?
88:48 Memoráre quæ mea substántia: * numquid enim vane constituísti omnes fílios hóminum?
88:49 Quis est homo, qui vivet, et non vidébit mortem: * éruet ánimam suam de manu ínferi?
88:50 Ubi sunt misericórdiæ tuæ antíquæ, Dómine, * sicut iurásti David in veritáte tua?
88:51 Memor esto, Dómine, oppróbrii servórum tuórum * quod contínui in sinu meo multárum géntium.
88:52 Quod exprobravérunt inimíci tui, Dómine, * quod exprobravérunt commutatiónem Christi tui.
88:53 Benedíctus Dóminus in ætérnum: * fiat, fiat.

Psalm 88(20-53) [4]
88:20 Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.
88:21 I have found David my servant: * with my holy oil I have anointed him.
88:22 For my hand shall help him: * and my arm shall strengthen him.
88:23 The enemy shall have no advantage over him: * nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.
88:24 And I will cut down his enemies before his face; * and them that hate him I will put to flight.
88:25 And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: * and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
88:26 And I will set his hand in the sea; * and his right hand in the rivers.
88:27 He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: * my God, and the support of my salvation.
88:28 And I will make him my firstborn, * high above the kings of the earth.
88:29 I will keep my mercy for him for ever: * and my covenant faithful to him.
88:30 And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: * and his throne as the days of heaven.
88:31 And if his children forsake my law, * and walk not in my judgments:
88:32 If they profane my justices: * and keep not my commandments:
88:33 I will visit their iniquities with a rod: *and their sins with stripes.
88:34 But my mercy I will not take away from him: * nor will I suffer my truth to fail.
88:35 Neither will I profane my covenant: * and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.
88:36 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: * his seed shall endure for ever.
88:37 And his throne as the sun before me: * and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.
88:39 But thou hast rejected and despised: * thou hast been angry with thy anointed.
88:40 Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: * thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.
88:41 Thou hast broken down all his hedges: * thou hast made his strength fear.
88:42 All that pass by the way have robbed him: * he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
88:43 Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: * thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
88:44 Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; * and hast not assisted him in battle.
88:45 Thou hast made his purification to cease: * and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.
88:46 Thou hast shortened the days of his time: * thou hast covered him with confusion.
88:47 How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? * shall thy anger burn like fire?
88:48 Remember what my substance is: * for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?
88:49 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: * that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
88:50 Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, * according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
88:51 Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants * which I have held in my bosom of many nations:
88:52 Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; * wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.
88:53 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. * So be it. So be it.
℣. 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.

93:3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: * how long shall sinners glory?
93:4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: * shall all speak who work injustice?
93:5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: * and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
93:6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: * and they have murdered the fatherless.
93:7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: * neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
93:8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: * and, you fools, be wise at last.
93:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? * or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
93:10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: * he that teacheth man knowledge?
93:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, * that they are vain.
93:12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: * and shalt teach him out of thy law.
93:13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: * till a pit be dug for the wicked.
93:14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: * neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
93:15 Until justice be turned into judgment: * and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
93:16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? * or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
93:17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, * my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
93:18 If I said: My foot is moved: * thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
93:20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, * who framest labour in commandment?
93:21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, * and will condemn innocent blood.
93:22 But the Lord is my refuge: * and my God the help of my hope.
93:23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: * the Lord our God will destroy them.

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.
℟. Thanks be to God.

* Forgive the sin of thy people, O God, and teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and manifest forth thy glory in this place, alleluia.

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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

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.

Reading 9
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.

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.

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.

Ætérna fac cum Sanctis tuis * in glória numerári.
Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, * et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
Et rege eos, * et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
Per síngulos dies * benedícimus te.

Fit reverentia, secundum consuetudinem
Et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, * et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Dignáre, Dómine, die isto * sine peccáto nos custodíre.
Miserére nostri, Dómine, * miserére nostri.
Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.

Luc 19:1-10
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
In illo témpore: Ingréssus Iesus perambulábat Iéricho. Et ecce, vir nómine Zachǽus: et hic princeps erat publicanórum, et ipse dives: et quærébat vidére Iesum, quis esset: et non póterat præ turba, quia statúra pusíllus erat. Et præcúrrens ascéndit in árborem sycómorum, ut vidéret eum; quia inde erat transitúrus. Et cum venísset ad locum, suspíciens Iesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum: Zachǽe, festínans descénde; quia hódie in domo tua opórtet me manére. Et festínans descéndit, et excépit illum gaudens. Et cum vidérent omnes, murmurábant, dicéntes, quod ad hóminem peccatórem divertísset. Stans autem Zachǽus, dixit ad Dóminum: Ecce, dimídium bonórum meórum, Dómine, do paupéribus: et si quid áliquem defraudávi, reddo quádruplum. Ait Iesus ad eum: Quia hódie salus dómui huic facta est: eo quod et ipse fílius sit Abrahæ. Venit enim Fílius hóminis quǽrere et salvum fácere, quod períerat.
℟. Amen

Te decet laus, te decet hymnus: tibi glória Deo Patri, et Fílio, cum Spíritu Sancto in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
