Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior. Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms.

For forty years, I was near to that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart. But they have not known my ways. To them I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus
Custódes hóminum psállimus Angelos,
Natúræ frágili quos Pater áddidit
Cæléstis cómites, insidiántibus
Ne succúmberet hóstibus.
Nam, quod corrúerit próditor ángelus,
Concéssis mérito pulsus honóribus,
Ardens invídia péllere nítitur
Quos cælo Deus ádvocat.
Huc, custos, ígitur pérvigil ádvola,
Avértens pátria de tibi crédita
Tam morbos ánimi quam requiéscere
Quidquid non sinit íncolas.
Sanctæ sit Tríadi laus pia júgiter,
Cujus perpétuo númine máchina
Triplex hæc régitur, cujus in ómnia
Regnat glória sǽcula.
Amen.
We sing of the guardian Angels of men,
Whom the heavenly Father added as companions
To frail nature, lest it succumb
To the assaults of lurking foes.
For, because the treacherous angel fell,
Justly driven from the honors granted him,
Burning with envy he strives to cast down
Those whom God calls to heaven.
Here then, watchful guardian, fly to our aid,
Warding off from the land entrusted to you
Both the sicknesses of the soul and whatever
Does not allow the inhabitants to rest.
May devout praise be ever to the Holy Trinity,
By whose unceasing power this threefold
Universe is governed, whose glory
Reigns through all ages.
Amen.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis
In Psalmum Qui habitat
Angelis suis mandávit de te. Mira dignátio, et vere magna diléctio caritátis. Quis enim? quibus? de quo? quid mandávit? Studióse considerémus, fratres, diligénter commendémus memóriæ hoc tam grande mandátum. Quis enim mandávit? cujus sunt Angeli? cujus mandátis obtémperant? cujus obédiunt voluntáti? Nempe Angelis suis mandávit de te, ut custódiant te in ómnibus viis tuis. Nec cunctántur quin étiam in mánibus tollant te. Summa ergo Majéstas mandávit Angelis, et Angelis suis mandávit. Illis útique sublímibus, tam beátis quam próximis sibi cohæréntibus et vere domésticis mandávit de te. Tu quis es? Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? aut fílius hóminis, quóniam réputas eum? Quasi vero non sit homo putrédo, et fílius hóminis vermis! Sed quid putas mandávit de te? Ut custódiant te.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.

Judex créderis * esse ventúrus.
(Sequens versus dicitur flexis genibus) Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis súbveni, * quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
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.

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.
Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.

7 The word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, which were in the chasm. And behind him were horses: red, speckled, and white.
9 And I said, "What are these, my lord?" And the angel, who was speaking within me, said to me, "I will reveal to you what these are."
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are they, whom the Lord has sent in order to walk through the earth."

3 And behold, the angel who had been speaking with me departed, and another angel went out to meet him.
4 And he said to him: Run, speak to that young man, saying: Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and beasts of burden in its midst.

Lesson 3
Sermon of Saint Bernard, Abbot
On the Psalm “Qui habitat”
He has given his Angels charge over you. A wonderful condescension, and truly a great love of charity. Who then? to whom? concerning whom? what did he command? Let us carefully consider, brethren, let us diligently commit to memory this so great commandment. Who then gave the command? Whose are the Angels? Whose commands do they obey? Whose will do they follow? Surely it is he who has given his Angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Nor do they delay even to bear you up in their hands. The Supreme Majesty therefore gave commandment to the Angels, and to his Angels gave commandment. To those sublime ones, both so blessed and so closely united to him and truly of his household, he gave charge over you. But who are you? What is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you regard him? As if man were not corruption, and the son of man a worm! But what, do you think, did he command concerning you? To keep you.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
