Invitatory {Antiphon from the Common or Feast}
Ant. The Lord, the King of Confessors, * O come, let us worship.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Confessors, * O come, let us worship.
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. The Lord, the King of Confessors, * O come, let us worship.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us worship.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Confessors, * O come, let us worship.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us worship.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Confessors, * O come, let us worship.
℣. 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.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iste Conféssor Dómini, coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit suprémos
Laudis honóres.

Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.

Cuius ob præstans méritum, frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim iacuére membra,
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.

Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem celebrésque palmas,
Ut piis eius précibus iuvémur
Omne per ævum.

Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli sólio corúscans,
Tótius mundi sériem gubérnat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
On this feast day year by year receiveth
Merited honors.

Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.

Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.

Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.

His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

77:17 Et apposuérunt adhuc peccáre ei: * in iram excitavérunt Excélsum in inaquóso.
77:18 Et tentavérunt Deum in córdibus suis, * ut péterent escas animábus suis.
77:19 Et male locúti sunt de Deo: * dixérunt: Numquid póterit Deus paráre mensam in desérto?
77:20 Quóniam percússit petram, et fluxérunt aquæ: * et torréntes inundavérunt.
77:20 Numquid et panem póterit dare, * aut paráre mensam pópulo suo?
77:21 Ídeo audívit Dóminus, et dístulit: * et ignis accénsus est in Iacob, et ira ascéndit in Israël.
77:22 Quia non credidérunt in Deo: * nec speravérunt in salutári eius:

77:28 Et cecidérunt in médio castrórum eórum: * circa tabernácula eórum.
77:29 Et manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis: * non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo.

Ant. The Lord opened * the doors of heaven and had rained down manna upon them to eat.
Psalm 77(17-31) [3]
77:17 And they added yet more sin against him: * they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
77:18 And they tempted God in their hearts, * by asking meat for their desires.
77:19 And they spoke ill of God: * they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
77:20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, * and the streams overflowed.
77:20 Can he also give bread, * or provide a table for his people?
77:21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: * and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
77:22 Because they believed not in God: * and trusted not in his salvation.
77:23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, * and had opened the doors of heaven.
77:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, * and had given them the bread of heaven.
77:25 Man ate the bread of angels: * he sent them provisions in abundance.
77:26 He removed the south wind from heaven: * and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
77:27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: * and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
77:28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, * round about their pavilions.
77:29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: * they were not defrauded of that which they craved.
77:30 As yet their meat was in their mouth: * and the wrath of God came upon them.
77:31 And he slew the fat ones amongst them, * and brought down the chosen men of Israel.

Psalmus 77(32-41) [4]
77:32 In ómnibus his peccavérunt adhuc: * et non credidérunt in mirabílibus eius.
77:33 Et defecérunt in vanitáte dies eórum: * et anni eórum cum festinatióne.
77:34 Cum occíderet eos, quærébant eum: * et revertebántur, et dilúculo veniébant ad eum.
77:35 Et rememoráti sunt quia Deus adiútor est eórum: * et Deus excélsus redémptor eórum est.
77:36 Et dilexérunt eum in ore suo, * et lingua sua mentíti sunt ei.
77:37 Cor autem eórum non erat rectum cum eo: * nec fidéles hábiti sunt in testaménto eius.
77:38 Ipse autem est miséricors, et propítius fiet peccátis eórum: * et non dispérdet eos.
77:38 Et abundávit ut avérteret iram suam: * et non accéndit omnem iram suam:
77:39 Et recordátus est quia caro sunt: * spíritus vadens et non rédiens.
77:40 Quóties exacerbavérunt eum in desérto, * in iram concitavérunt eum in inaquóso?

Ant. God is their helper, * and the most high God their redeemer.
Psalm 77(32-41) [4]
77:32 In all these things they sinned still: * and they believed not for his wondrous works.
77:33 And their days were consumed in vanity, * and their years in haste.
77:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: * and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
77:35 And they remembered that God was their helper: * and the most high God their redeemer.
77:36 And they loved him with their mouth: * and with their tongue they lied unto him:
77:37 But their heart was not right with him: * nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
77:38 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: * and will not destroy them.
77:38 And many a time did he turn away his anger: * and did not kindle all his wrath.
77:39 And he remembered that they are flesh: * a wind that goeth and returneth not.
77:40 How often did they provoke him in the desert: * and move him to wrath in the place without water?
77:41 And they turned back and tempted God: * and grieved the holy one of Israel.

Psalmus 77(42-58) [5]
77:42 Non sunt recordáti manus eius, * die qua redémit eos de manu tribulántis.
77:43 Sicut pósuit in Ægýpto signa sua, * et prodígia sua in campo Táneos.
77:44 Et convértit in sánguinem flúmina eórum: * et imbres eórum, ne bíberent.
77:45 Misit in eos cœnomyíam, et comédit eos: * et ranam, et dispérdidit eos.
77:46 Et dedit ærúgini fructus eórum: * et labóres eórum locústæ.
77:47 Et occídit in grándine víneas eórum: * et moros eórum in pruína.
77:48 Et trádidit grándini iuménta eórum: * et possessiónem eórum igni.
77:49 Misit in eos iram indignatiónis suæ: * indignatiónem, et iram, et tribulatiónem: immissiónes per ángelos malos.
77:50 Viam fecit sémitæ iræ suæ, non pepércit a morte animábus eórum: * et iuménta eórum in morte conclúsit.
77:51 Et percússit omne primogénitum in terra Ægýpti: * primítias omnis labóris eórum in tabernáculis Cham.
77:52 Et ábstulit sicut oves pópulum suum: * et perdúxit eos tamquam gregem in desérto.
77:53 Et dedúxit eos in spe, et non timuérunt: * et inimícos eórum opéruit mare.
77:54 Et indúxit eos in montem sanctificatiónis suæ: * montem, quem acquisívit déxtera eius.
77:54 Et eiécit a fácie eórum gentes: * et sorte divísit eis terram in funículo distributiónis.
77:55 Et habitáre fecit in tabernáculis eórum: * tribus Israël.
77:56 Et tentavérunt, et exacerbavérunt Deum excélsum: * et testimónia eius non custodiérunt.
77:57 Et avertérunt se, et non servavérunt pactum: * quemádmodum patres eórum convérsi sunt in arcum pravum.
77:58 In iram concitavérunt eum in cóllibus suis: * et in sculptílibus suis ad æmulatiónem eum provocavérunt.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Ant. The Lord redeemed them * from the hand of him that afflicted them.
Psalm 77(42-58) [5]
77:42 They remembered not his hand, * in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
77:43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, * and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
77:44 And he turned their rivers into blood, * and their showers that they might, not drink.
77:45 He sent amongst them diverse sorts of flies, which devoured them: * and frogs which destroyed them.
77:46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, * and their labours to the locust.
77:47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, * and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
77:48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, * and their stock to the fire.
77:49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: * indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
77:50 He made a way for a path to his anger: * he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
77:51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: * the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
77:52 And he took away his own people as sheep: * and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
77:53 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: * and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
77:54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: * the mountain which his right hand had purchased.
77:54 And he cast out the Gentiles before them: * and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
77:55 And he made the tribes of Israel * to dwell in their tabernacles.
77:56 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: * and they kept not his testimonies.
77:57 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: * even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
77:58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: * and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
℣. 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.
Ant. The Lord redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them.

77:63 Iúvenes eórum comédit ignis: * et vírgines eórum non sunt lamentátæ.
77:64 Sacerdótes eórum in gládio cecidérunt: * et víduæ eórum non plorabántur.
77:65 Et excitátus est tamquam dórmiens Dóminus: * tamquam potens crapulátus a vino.
77:66 Et percússit inimícos suos in posterióra: * oppróbrium sempitérnum dedit illis.
77:67 Et répulit tabernáculum Ioseph: * et tribum Éphraim non elégit.
77:68 Sed elégit tribum Iuda, * montem Sion quem diléxit.
77:69 Et ædificávit sicut unicórnium sanctifícium suum in terra, * quam fundávit in sǽcula.
77:70 Et elégit David, servum suum, et sústulit eum de grégibus óvium: * de post fœtántes accépit eum,
77:71 Páscere Iacob, servum suum, * et Israël, hereditátem suam:
77:72 Et pavit eos in innocéntia cordis sui: * et in intelléctibus mánuum suárum dedúxit eos.

77:61 And he delivered their strength into captivity: * and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
77:62 And he shut up his people under the sword: * and he despised his inheritance.
77:63 Fire consumed their young men: * and their maidens were not lamented.
77:64 Their priests fell by the sword: * and their widows did not mourn.
77:65 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, * and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
77:66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: * he put them to an everlasting reproach.
77:67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: * and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
77:68 But he chose the tribe of Juda, * mount Sion which he loved.
77:69 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land * which he founded for ever.
77:70 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: * he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
77:71 To feed Jacob his servant, * and Israel his inheritance.
77:72 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: * and conducted them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Psalmus 78 [7]
78:1 Deus, venérunt gentes in hereditátem tuam, polluérunt templum sanctum tuum: * posuérunt Ierúsalem in pomórum custódiam.
78:2 Posuérunt morticína servórum tuórum, escas volatílibus cæli: * carnes sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ.
78:3 Effudérunt sánguinem eórum tamquam aquam in circúitu Ierúsalem: * et non erat qui sepelíret.

Psalm 78 [7]
78:1 O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: * they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
78:2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: * the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.
78:3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem, * and there was none to bury them.
78:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours: * a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
78:5 How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: * shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
78:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: * and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
78:7 Because they have devoured Jacob; * and have laid waste his place.
78:8 Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, * for we are become exceeding poor.
78:9 Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: * and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:
78:10 Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? * And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes,
78:10 By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed: * let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee.
78:11 According to the greatness of thy arm, * take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
78:12 And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: * the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
78:13 But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, * will give thanks to thee for ever.
78:13 We will shew forth thy praise, * unto generation and generation.

80:5 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
80:6 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.
80:7 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.
80:8 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
80:9 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me; there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
80:11 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
80:12 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.
80:13 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.
80:14 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:
80:15 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
80:16 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.

Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isa 6:1-3
1 In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple.
2 Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they flew.
3 And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee;
* The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, also that Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
℣. How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the Angel answered and said unto her,
℟. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore, also that Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 And I said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts.
6 And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar.
7 And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thy iniquities shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.
Isa 6:8-10
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me.
9 And he said: Go, and thou shalt say to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not.

Reading 3
Ambrose, bishop of Milan, son of Ambrose, who was a Roman citizen, was educated in the City in the liberal arts. Appointed by the prefect Probus to govern Liguria and Aemilia at his order and with his authority. Ambrose went to Milan, where Auxentius, the Arian bishop, had died and the people were quarreling about the choice of a successor. In the exercise of his official duty, Ambrose went into the church to quell the riot that had arisen and, when he had spoken at length and eloquently on the peace and tranquility of the state, suddenly a boy's voice exclaimed, "Ambrose bishop!" Then the whole populace with one voice demanded that he be elected. And so he received baptism (for he had been only a catechumen), the other sacraments of the Christian initiation, all the degrees of orders according to the custom of the Church, and was raised to the dignity of the episcopate. In carrying of his office, he courageously defended the Catholic faith and the discipline of the Church both in speech and in writing, and converted many Arians and other heretics to the faith, among whom was St. Augustine, whom he begot to Christ Jesus as his spiritual child. Worn out by all his labors and cares for the Church of God, he died on April 4 in the year 397.

45:15 Vere tu es Deus abscónditus, * Deus Israël, Salvátor.
45:16 Confúsi sunt, et erubuérunt omnes: * simul abiérunt in confusiónem fabricatóres errórum.
45:17 Israël salvátus est in Dómino salúte ætérna: * non confundémini, et non erubescétis usque in sǽculum sǽculi.
45:18 Quia hæc dicit Dóminus creans cælos, * ipse Deus formans terram, et fáciens eam, ipse plastes eius:
45:19 Non in vanum creávit eam, ut habitarétur, formávit eam: * Ego Dóminus, et non est álius.
45:20 Non in abscóndito locútus sum, * in loco terræ tenebróso:
45:21 Non dixi sémini Iacob frustra: Quǽrite me: * ego Dóminus loquens iustítiam, annúntians recta.
45:22 Congregámini, et veníte, et accédite simul * qui salváti estis ex géntibus:
45:23 Nesciérunt qui levant lignum sculptúræ suæ, * et rogant deum non salvántem.
45:24 Annuntiáte, et veníte, et consiliámini simul: * Quis audítum fecit hoc ab inítio, ex tunc prædíxit illud?
45:25 Numquid non ego Dóminus, et non est ultra Deus absque me? * Deus iustus, et salvans non est præter me.
45:26 Convertímini ad me, et salvi éritis, omnes fines terræ: * quia ego Deus, et non est álius.
45:27 In memetípso iurávi, egrediétur de ore meo iustítiæ verbum, * et non revertétur:
45:28 Quia mihi curvábitur omne genu, * et iurábit omnis lingua.
45:29 Ergo in Dómino, dicet, meæ sunt iustítiæ et impérium: * ad eum vénient, et confundéntur omnes qui repúgnant ei.

Isa 45:15-30
45:15 Verily thou art a hidden God, * the God of Israel the saviour.
45:16 They are all confounded and ashamed: * the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
45:17 Israel is saved in the Lord with an eternal salvation: * you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, * God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof:
45:19 He did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. * I am the Lord, and there is no other.
45:20 I have not spoken in secret, * in a dark place of the earth:
45:21 I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. * I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
45:22 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, * ye that are saved of the Gentiles:
45:23 They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, * and pray to a god that cannot save.
45:24 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: * who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time?
45:25 Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? * A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
45:26 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: * for I am God, and there is no other.
45:27 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, * and shall not return:
45:28 For every knee shall be bowed to me, * and every tongue shall swear.
45:29 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: * they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
45:30 In the Lord shall all the seed * of Israel be justified and praised.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Jesu, the world’s Redeemer, O hear;
thy bishops’ fadeless crown, draw near:
Accept with gentlest love today
The prayers and praises that we pay.

The meek confessor of thy name
Today attained a glorious fame;
Whose yearly feast, in solemn state,
Thy faithful people celebrate.

The world and all its boasted good,
As vain and passing, he eschewed;
And therefore with angelic bands,
In endless joy forever stands.

Grant then that we, most gracious God,
May follow in the steps he trod:
And, at his prayer, thy servants free
From stain of all iniquity.

To thee, O Christ, our loving King,
All glory, praise, and thanks we bring:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

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.

Psalm 21(2-12) [1]
21:2 O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.

21:4 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.

21:8 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.

21:15 Sicut aqua effúsus sum: * et dispérsa sunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:15 Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens * in médio ventris mei.
21:16 Áruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhǽsit fáucibus meis: * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me.
21:17 Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi: * concílium malignántium obsédit me.
21:17 Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos: * dinumeravérunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:18 Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me: * divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea, et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.
21:20 Tu autem, Dómine, ne elongáveris auxílium tuum a me: * ad defensiónem meam cónspice.
21:21 Érue a frámea, Deus, ánimam meam: * et de manu canis únicam meam:

Psalm 21(13-23) [2]
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.

Martyrologium (anticip.)
On the morrow we keep the feast of the glorious Mary, Mother of God, and always a Virgin, whom the supreme Pontiff Pius IX. did upon this day solemnly define to have been by a singular gift of God preserved unstained by original sin.
December 8th 2018, the 1st day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

At Rome, the blessed Pope Eutychian, who with his own hands buried in diverse places three hundred and forty-two martyrs, whose fellow he himself afterwards became, being crowned with martyrdom under the Emperor Numerian and buried in the cemetery of Callistus. (He succeeded Felix I (269-274); after five days' interregnum he became Pope on Jan. 3, 275, and died on Dec. 8, 283.)
At Alexandria, the holy martyr Macarius. Under the Emperor Decius the judge dealt with him in many words to persuade him to deny Christ, but as he only professed his faith the more constantly he was burnt alive, (in the year 250.)
At Trier, holy Eucharius, a disciple of the blessed Apostle Peter, and the first Bishop of that city.
In Cyprus, the holy Bishop Sophronius, who was a wonderful protector of little children, orphans, and widows, and an helper of all the poor and depressed.
In the monastery of Lisieux, the holy Abbot Romaric, who was the first man in the court of King Theodobert, but gave up the world, and became the first in monastic observance. (He was a monk of Luxeuil. He founded the Abbey of Remiremont, of which he became second Abbot in the year 627, and died on Dec. 8, 653.)
At Constantinople, the holy Hermit Patapius, famous for his graces and miracles.
At Verona, is commemorated the ordination of holy Zeno, Bishop (of that see in the fourth century.)

79:9 Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: * thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it.

79:11 The shadow of it covered the hills: * and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
79:12 It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, * and its boughs unto the river.
79:13 Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, * so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
79:14 The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: * and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
79:15 Turn again, O God of hosts, * look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:

Child divine who barest,

All our ills dispelling,
Every boon imploring.

Show thyself a mother
In thy supplication;
He will hear who chose thee
At his incarnation.

Maid all maids excelling,
Passing meek and lowly,
Win for sinners pardon,
Make us chaste and holy.

As we onward journey
Aid our weak endeavour,
Till we gaze on Jesus
And rejoice forever.

Three in One confessing,
Give we equal glory
Equal praise and blessing.

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.
