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.

12 And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
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.
15 My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place.

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.

℟. If they pray toward this place,
* 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.
℣. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock, thou that sittest upon the cherubim.

Et ideo, fratres caríssimi, quia, nullis præcedéntibus méritis, per grátiam Dei merúimus fíeri templum Dei, quantum possumus cum ipsíus adiutório labóremus, ne Dóminus noster in templo suo, hoc est, in nobis ipsis, invéniat quod óculos suæ maiestátis offéndat. Sed habitáculum cordis nostri evacuétur vítiis, et virtútibus repleátur; claudátur diabolo, et aperiátur Christo. Et ita labóremus, ut nobis bonórum óperum clávibus iánuam regni cæléstis aperíre possímus.

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.

Sicut enim malis opéribus, quasi quibúsdam seris ac véctibus, vitæ nobis ianua claudítur; ita, absque dubio, bonis opéribus aperítur.

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.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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. Luke xiv. n. He who, as I have said, acknowledging his iniquity, withdraweth himself through lowliness from the Altar of the Church, till he have mended his life, need have but little fear that he will be excommunicated from the eternal marriage supper in heaven.

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.
℣. Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find.
℟. And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

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.

Reading 11
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 thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory that has been built
* To the praise and glory of your name O Lord.
℣. Bless this house that I have built.
℟. To the praise and glory of your name O Lord.
℣. Iube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum. Amen.

Lectio 12
Verum, ne cæcum illum, tamquam fastidiósi páuperum, cito reliquísse videámur et transísse ad dívitem, exspectémus eum, quia exspectávit et Dóminus; interrogémus eum, quia interrogávit et Christus. Nos interrogémus, quia nescímus: ille, quia nóverat. Nos interrogémus, ut sciámus unde iste curátus sit: ille interrogávit, ut in uno plures discerémus unde Dóminum vidére mereámur. Interrogávit enim, ut crederémus, néminem, nisi confiténtem, posse salvári.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Vidi civitátem sanctam Ierúsalem novam, † descendéntem de cælo a Deo parátam:
* Et audívi vocem de throno dicéntem: * Ecce tabernáculam Dei cum homínibus, et habitábit cum eis.
℣. Et ipsi pópulus eius erunt, † et ipse Deus cum eis erit eórum Deus.
℟. Et audívi vocem de throno dicéntem: Ecce tabernáculam Dei cum homínibus, et habitábit cum eis.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Et audívi vocem de throno dicéntem: Ecce tabernáculam Dei cum homínibus, et habitábit cum eis.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.

Reading 12
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.
*And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them.
℣. And they shall be his people; and God himself with them shall be their God.
℟. And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them.

Sequéntia +︎ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
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.
