Hymnus {ex Proprio Sanctorum}
Quicúmque Christum quǽritis,
Oculos in altum tóllite:
Illic licébit vísere
Signum perénnis glóriæ.
Illústre quiddam cérnimus,
Quod nésciat finem pati,
Sublíme, celsum, intérminum,
Antíquius cælo et chao.
Hic ille Rex est géntium
Populíque Rex iudáici,
Promíssus Abrahæ patri
Eiúsque in ævum sémini.
Hunc, et prophétis téstibus
Iisdémque signatóribus,
Testátor et Pater iubet
Audíre nos et crédere.
Glória tibi, Dómine,
Qui apparuísti hódie,
Cum Patre, et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
All ye who would the Christ descry,
Lift up your eyes to him on high:
There mortal gaze hath strength to see
The token of his majesty.
A wondrous sign we there behold,
That knows not death nor groweth old,
Sublime, most high, that cannot fade,
That was ere earth and heaven were made.
Here is the King the gentiles fear,
The Jews' most mighty King is here
Promised to Abraham of yore,
And to his seed forevermore.
'Tis he the prophets' words foretold,
And by their signs shown forth of old;
The Father's witness hath ordained
That we should hear with faith unfeigned.
Jesu, to thee our praise we pay,
To little ones revealed today,
With Father and blest Spirit One
Until the ages' course is done.
Amen.

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.

Psalm 103 [12]
103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: * O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great.
103:1 Thou hast put on praise and beauty: * and art clothed with light as with a garment.
103:2 Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: * who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water.
103:3 Who makest the clouds thy chariot: * who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
103:4 Who makest thy angels spirits: * and thy ministers a burning fire.
103:5 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: * it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
103:6 The deep like a garment is its clothing: * above the mountains shall the waters stand.
103:7 At thy rebuke they shall flee: * at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
103:8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend * into the place which thou hast founded for them.
103:9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
103:10 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: * between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
103:11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
103:12 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
103:13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: * the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
103:14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men.
103:14 That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: * and that wine may cheer the heart of man.
103:15 That he may make the face cheerful with oil: * and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
103:16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: * there the sparrows shall make their nests.
103:17 The highest of them is the house of the heron. * The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
103:19 He hath made the moon for seasons: * the sun knoweth his going down.
103:20 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: * in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
103:21 The young lions roaring after their prey, * and seeking their meat from God.
103:22 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
103:23 Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
103:24 How great are thy works, O Lord? * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
103:25 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: * there are creeping things without number:
103:26 Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
103:27 This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
103:28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
103:29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
103:30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
103:31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
103:32 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: * he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
103:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: * I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
103:34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
103:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: * O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

From the Sermons of Pope St. Leo (the Great)
On the Transfiguration
The Lord taketh chosen witnesses, and in their presence, revealeth His glory. That form of body which He had in common with other men, He so transfigured with light, that His Face did shine as the sun, and His raiment became exceeding white as snow. Of this metamorphosis the chief work was to remove from the hearts of the disciples the stumbling at the Cross. Before their eyes was unveiled the splendour of His hidden majesty, that the lowliness of His freely-chosen suffering might not confound their faith.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. They were abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and
* Thou madest them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
℣. For with thee is the fountain of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
℟. And Thou madest them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

But none the less was there here laid by the Providence of God a solid foundation for the hope of the Holy Church, whereby the whole body of Christ should know with what a change it is yet to be honoured. The members of that body whose Head hath already been transfigured in light may promise themselves a share in His glory. For the strengthening the Apostles and bringing them forward into all knowledge, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias that is, the Law and the Prophets talking with Him. Before five witnesses did His glorification take place, as though to fulfill that which is written: At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Deut. xix. 15.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

What can be more certain, what can be better attested than this matter, which is proclaimed by the trumpets of both the Old and the New Testaments, and concerning which the witness of ancient testimony uniteth with the teaching of the Gospel?

Sed huic suggestióni Dóminus non respóndit, signíficans, non quidem ímprobum, sed inordinátum esse quod cúperet; cum salvári mundus, nisi Christi morte, non posset, et exémplo Dómini in hoc vocarétur credéntium fides, ut licet non oportéret de beatitúdinis promissiónibus dubitári, intellegerémus tamen inter tentatiónes huius vitæ prius nobis tolerántiam postulándam esse, quam glóriam.

The unveiling of such mysteries roused the mind of the Apostle Peter to an outburst of longing for the things eternal, which despised and disdained the things worldly and earthly overflowing with gladness at the vision, he yearned to dwell with Jesus there, where the revelation of His glory had rejoiced him. And so he said Master, it is good for us to be here if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. To this proposal the Lord answered nothing, this signifying, that what Peter wished was not wrong, but out of place, since the world could not be saved but by the death of Christ. And the Lord's example was to call the faith of believers to this, that albeit we are behoven to have no doubts concerning the promise of eternal blessedness, yet we are to understand that, amid the trials of this life, we are to seek for endurance before glory.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Today the Lord Jesus took three of the disciples up a mountain to pray, and entering the heights alone, was transfigured before them whilst he prayed,
* And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow.

℟. And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow.

33:2 O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
33:3 At the voice of the angel the people fled, and at the lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.
33:4 And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.
33:5 The Lord is magnified, for he hath dwelt on high: he hath filled Sion with judgment and justice.

33:7 Behold they that see shall cry without, the angels of peace shall weep bitterly.
33:8 The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the road, the covenant is made void, he hath rejected the cities, he hath not regarded the men.
33:9 The land hath mourned, and languished: Libanus is confounded and become foul, and Saron is become as a desert: and Basan and Carmel are shaken.
33:10 Now will I rise up, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 17:1-9
At that time: Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them. And so on.
Homily by St. John Chrysostom (Patriarch of Constantinople)
57th on Matthew
Since the Lord had spoken much concerning dangers, much concerning His Own sufferings, much concerning death, and the killing of His disciples, and had laid upon them many hard and grievous things, and since all these were in this present life, and already hanging over them, whereas the good things were matter for hope and waiting as, for example, that whosoever should lose his life for His sake should find it, for that the Son of Man should come in the glory of His Father, and reward every man according to his works. Matth. xvi. 25, 27. Therefore, to assure them by their own eyes, and show them what the glory is wherein He will come, He manifested and unveiled it to them, as far as in this life they were able to grasp it, lest they and especially Peter should grieve over their own deaths, or the death of their Lord.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. God hath called us with an holy calling, according to His own grace, which is now made manifest;
* By the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
℣. Who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light.
℟. By the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Reading 11
But although He speaketh concerning both, He giveth a glimpse of heaven only and not of hell. To see hell would have profited the brutish and stupid, but His disciples were upright and clear-sighted, and therefore for them it was enough to be strengthened by the better things. This was what suited Him the best. Yet He left not the other altogether undone. Sometimes He set the horrors of hell, as it were, before the eyes, as for instance in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, and that of him who was fain to wring the hundred pence from his fellow-servant.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man,

Reading 12
But mark well Matthew's good will, in not concealing the names of those who were preferred. John also likewise often recordeth the special praises of Peter with great truthfulness and care. For in this companionship of the Apostles, there was no envy, nor did vainglory find place. It was therefore the leaders of the Apostles whom Christ took apart from the others. And wherefore did he take these only? Because there were evidently superior to the rest. And why did he not do this straightway, and not until after six days? Evidently to spare the natural feelings of the other disciples; and for the same reason Christ did not for six days announce who were to go up.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. And while he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering:
* And two men were talking with him, Moses and Elias, appearing in majesty.

℟. And two men were talking with him, Moses and Elias, appearing in majesty.

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.

Hymnus {Doxology: Special}
Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Glória tibi, Dómine,
Qui apparuísti hódie,
Cum Patre, et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn {Doxology: Special}
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.
Jesu, to thee our praise we pay,
To little ones revealed today,
With Father and Blest Spirit One
Until the ages' course is done.
Amen.

1:3 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
1:4 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

Psalm 2 [2]
2:1 Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2:2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
2:3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
2:4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
2:6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
2:7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
2:10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
2:11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
2:12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
2:13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
℣. 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.

Then the Martyrology is read in Choir.
Martyrologium (anticip.)
August 7th 2018, the 25th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Naples, in Campania, [in the year 1547,] the holy Confessor Gaetan of Tiene, Founder of the Clerks Regular, who with wonderful confidence in God enjoined upon them the first way of living of the Apostles. He was famous for miracles, and Clement X. enrolled his name among those of the Saints.
At Arezzo, in Tuscany, [in the year 362,] the holy martyr Donatus, Bishop [of that see.], who among other miraculous deeds, by his prayers (as is related by blessed Pope Gregory) made whole again a sacred chalice which had been broken by pagans. He was arrested by the imperial officer Quadratian in the persecution under the Emperor Julian the Apostate, and for as much as he refused to sacrifice to idols he was beheaded, and so finished his testimony. There suffered also along with him the blessed monk Hilarinus, whose feast is kept upon the 16th day of July, being the day whereon his body was brought to Ostia.
At Rome, [in the third century,] the holy martyrs Peter and Julian, and eighteen others.
At Milan, [in the second century,] the holy soldier Faustus, who under the Emperor Aurelius Commodus, after many contendings, gained the crown of martyrdom.
At Como, [in the district of Milan,] the holy martyrs Carpophorus, Exanthus, Cassius, Severinus, Secundus, and Licinius, who were beheaded, [about the year 303,] for confessing Christ.
At Nisibis, in Mesopotamia, [in the year 363,] holy Dometius, a Persian monk, who was stoned to death with two of his disciples, under the Emperor Julian the Apostate.
At Rouen, [about the year 407,] holy Vitricius, Bishop [of that see.] He was a soldier who threw away his belt for Christ's sake under the same Emperor Julian. He was put to many torments by his Tribune, and condemned to death, but the executioner who had been sent to behead him was struck blind, and he got his bonds loosed, and escaped. He afterwards became a Bishop, and by his preaching of the word brought the unconquered tribes of the Morini and Nervii to believe in Christ, and at the last fell asleep in peace.
At Châlons[-sur-Marne,] in Gaul, [in the year 136,] holy Donatian, Bishop [of Châlons.]
At Messina, in Sicily, [in the year 1306,] the holy Confessor Albert, of the Order of Carmelites, famous for miracles.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℣. Precious in the sight of the Lord.
℟. Is the death of his saints.
Holy Mary and all the Saints, intercede for us with the Lord, our God, so that we may merit His help and salvation, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

The Rule of our Holy Father Benedict. Chapter 54: If a Monk Ought to Receive Letters Or Tokens
On no account let it be lawful for monks to receive, whether from parents or from other persons or from each other, letters, tokens, or any present whatsoever, nor yet to give them without the abbot’s permission; and if anything shall have been sent to a monk even from his parents let him not presume to receive it unless it shall first have been made known to the abbot; and even if he shall have ordered it to be received let it still be within his power as abbot to decide as to whom he will order it to be given; and let not the brother to whom by chance it had been sent be grieved, in order that occasion be not given to the devil. And if anyone shall have presumed to act otherwise, let him be subjected to the discipline of the rule.

All ye who would the Christ descry,
Lift up your eyes to him on high:
There mortal gaze hath strength to see
The token of his majesty.
A wondrous sign we there behold,
That knows not death nor groweth old,
Sublime, most high, that cannot fade,
That was ere earth and heaven were made.
Here is the King the gentiles fear,
The Jews' most mighty King is here
Promised to Abraham of yore,
And to his seed forevermore.
'Tis he the prophets' words foretold,
And by their signs shown forth of old;
The Father's witness hath ordained
That we should hear with faith unfeigned.
Jesu, to thee our praise we pay,
To little ones revealed today,
With Father and blest Spirit One
Until the ages' course is done.
Amen.

Psalm 90 [6]
90:1 He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, * shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

90:5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: * thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
90:6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: * of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
90:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: * but it shall not come nigh thee.
90:8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: * and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

90:10 There shall no evil come to thee: * nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

90:12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: * lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
90:13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: * and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
90:14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: * I will protect him because he hath known my name.
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.

Hymn {Doxology: Special}
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.
Jesu, to thee our praise we pay,
To little ones revealed today,
With Father and Blest Spirit One
Until the ages' course is done.
Amen.
