Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde, ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas: quibus jurávi in ira mea: Si introíbunt in réquiem meam.

Psalmus 1 [1]

Lectio 1
Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 24:13-35
In illo témpore: Duo ex discípulis Jesu ibant ipsa die in castéllum, quod erat in spátio stadiórum sexagínta ab Jerúsalem, nómine Emmaus. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ
Homilia 23 in Evangelia
Audístis, fratres caríssimi, quia duóbus discípulis ambulántibus in via, non quidem credéntibus, sed tamen de se loquéntibus, Dóminus appáruit: sed eis spéciem, quam recognóscerent, non osténdit. Hoc ergo egit foris Dóminus in óculis córporis, quod apud ipsos agebátur intus in óculis cordis. Ipsi namque apud semetípsos intus et amábant, et dubitábant: eis autem Dóminus foris et præsens áderat, et quis esset non ostendébat. De se ergo loquéntibus præséntiam exhíbuit: sed de se dubitántibus cognitiónis suæ spéciem abscóndit.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ María Magdaléne, et áltera María ibant dilúculo ad monuméntum:
* Jesum quem quǽritis, non est hic, surréxit sicut locútus est, præcédet vos in Galilǽam, ibi eum vidébitis, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Et valde mane una sabbatórum véniunt ad monuméntum, orto jam sole: et introëúntes vidérunt júvenem sedéntem in dextris, qui dixit illis.
℟ Jesum quem quǽritis, non est hic, surréxit sicut locútus est, præcédet vos in Galilǽam, ibi eum vidébitis, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Jube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
℟ Amen.
Lectio 2
Verba quidem cóntulit, durítiam intelléctus increpávit, sacræ Scriptúræ mystéria, quæ de seípso erant, apéruit: et tamen quia adhuc in eórum córdibus peregrínus erat a fide, se ire lóngius finxit. Fíngere namque, compónere dícimus: unde et compositóres luti, fígulos vocámus. Nihil ergo simplex Véritas per duplicitátem fecit: sed talem se eis exhíbuit in córpore, qualis apud illos erat in mente. Probándi autem erant, si hi, qui eum etsi necdum ut Deum dilígerent, saltem ut peregrínum amáre potuíssent.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Surréxit pastor bonus, qui ánimam suam pósuit pro óvibus suis, et pro grege suo mori dignátus est:
* Allelúja, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Etenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus.
℟ Allelúja, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟ Allelúja, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Jube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
℟ Amen.
Lectio 3
Sed quia esse extránei a caritáte non póterant hi, cum quibus Véritas gradiebátur: eum ad hospítium quasi peregrínum vocant. Cur autem dícimus, vocant, cum illic scriptum sit: Et coëgérunt eum? Ex quo nimírum exémplo collígitur, quia peregríni ad hospítium non solum invitándi sunt, sed étiam trahéndi. Mensam ígitur ponunt, panes cibósque ófferunt: et Deum, quem in Scriptúræ sacræ expositióne non cognóverant, in panis fractióne cognóscunt. Audiéndo ergo præcépta Dei illumináti non sunt, faciéndo illumináti sunt: quia scriptum est: Non auditóres legis justi sunt apud Deum, sed factóres legis justificabúntur. Quisquis ergo vult audíta intellégere, festínet ea, quæ jam audíre pótuit, ópere implére. Ecce Dóminus non est cógnitus dum loquerétur, et dignátus est cognósci, dum páscitur.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.

2:1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, * and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2:2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, * against the Lord and against his Christ:
2:3 “Let us shatter their chains * and cast their yoke away from us.”
2:4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, * and the Lord will mock them.
2:5 Then will he speak to them in his anger * and trouble them with his fury.
2:6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, * preaching his precepts.
2:7 The Lord has said to me: * You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
2:8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, * and the ends of the earth for your possession.
2:9 You will rule them with an iron rod, * and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
2:10 And now, O kings, understand. * Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
2:11 Serve the Lord in fear, * and exult in him with trembling.
2:12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, * and you would perish from the way of the just.

Lesson 1
A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
Luc 24:13-35
At that time: two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem. And so forth.
A Homily of Saint Gregory the Pope
Homily 23 on the Gospels
You have heard, dearest brethren, that to the two disciples who were walking on the road — who did not indeed believe, yet were speaking about him — the Lord appeared; but he did not show them the form by which they might recognize him. What the Lord did outwardly in the eyes of the body, he did because of what was taking place within them in the eyes of the heart. For those disciples inwardly both loved and doubted; and the Lord was outwardly both present to them and did not reveal who he was. To those who were speaking about him he showed his presence; but from those who were doubting about him he concealed the manifestation of his identity.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came at dawn to the tomb:
* Jesus whom you seek is not here; he has risen as he said; he will go before you into Galilee, there you will see him, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ And very early on the first day of the week they come to the tomb, the sun having already risen: and entering, they saw a young man sitting on the right, who said to them.
℟ Jesus whom you seek is not here; he has risen as he said; he will go before you into Galilee, there you will see him, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benediction. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
℟ Amen.
Lesson 2
He engaged in conversation with them, reproved the hardness of their understanding, opened to them the mysteries of sacred Scripture that concerned himself: and yet, because he was still a stranger to their hearts in faith, he made as though to go farther. Now, to feign is to fashion, to shape: hence we call shapers of clay, potters. Therefore simple Truth did nothing by way of duplicity: but showed himself to them in body such as he was in their minds. But it was necessary to test whether those who had not yet loved him as God might at least have been able to love him as a stranger.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ The good shepherd has risen, who laid down his life for his sheep, and was pleased to die for his flock:
* Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ For indeed Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
℟ Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benediction. May the King of Angels lead us to the company of the citizens on high.
℟ Amen.
Lesson 3
But because those could not be strangers to charity with whom the Truth was walking: they call him to their lodging as though he were a stranger. But why do we say, they called, when it is written there: And they compelled him? From which example it is clearly gathered that strangers are to be invited to lodging not only, but even drawn in. They set the table, therefore, and offer loaves and food: and the God whom they had not recognized in the exposition of Holy Scripture, they recognize in the breaking of bread. Therefore, by hearing the commandments of God they were not enlightened, by doing them they were enlightened: because it is written: Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law will be justified. Whoever, therefore, wishes to understand what he has heard, let him hasten to fulfill in deed what he has already been able to hear. Behold, the Lord was not recognized while he was speaking, and he deigned to be recognized while he was being fed.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Te Deum

Day by day * we bless you,
