Hymnus
Primo die, quo Trínitas
Beáta mundum cóndidit,
Vel quo resúrgens Cónditor
Nos, morte victa, líberat:
Pulsis procul torpóribus,
Surgámus omnes ócius,
Et nocte quærámus Deum,
Prophéta sicut prǽcipit:
Nostras preces ut áudiat
Suámque dextram pórrigat,
Et expiátos sórdibus
Reddat polórum sédibus:
Ut, quique sacratíssimo
Huius diéi témpore
Horis quiétis psállimus,
Donis beátis múneret.
Iam nunc, patérna cláritas,
Te postulámus áffatim:
Absint faces libídinis,
Et omnis actus nóxius.
Ne fœda sit, vel lúbrica
Compágo nostri córporis,
Ob cuius ignes ígnibus
Avérnus urat ácrius.
Mundi Redémptor, quǽsumus,
Tu probra nostra díluas;
Nobísque largus cómmoda
Vitæ perénnis cónferas.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Hail day! whereon the One in Three
First formed the earth by sure decree,
The day its Maker rose again,
And vanquished death, and burst our chain.
Away with sleep and slothful ease
We raise our hearts and bend our knees,
And early seek the Lord of all,
Obedient to the Prophet's call.
That He may hearken to our prayer,
Stretch forth His strong right arm to spare,
And ev'ry past offense forgiven,
Restore us to our home in heaven.
Assembled here this holy day,
This holiest hour we raise the lay,
And O that He to whom we sing,
May now reward our offering!
O Father of unclouded light!
Keep us this day as in thy sight,
In word and deed that we may be
From ev'ry touch of evil free.
That this our body's mortal frame
May know no sin, and fear no shame,
Nor fire hereafter be the end
Of passions which our bosom rend.
Redeemer of the world, we pray
That thou wouldst wash our sins away,
And give us, of Thy boundless grace,
The blessings of the heavenly place.
Most Holy Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord most High
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee
Shall live and reign eternally.
Amen.

Ant. Beátus vir * qui in lege Dómini meditátur.
Psalmus 1
1:1 Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, † et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
1:2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas eius, * et in lege eius meditábitur die ac nocte.
1:3a Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
1:3b Et fólium eius non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
1:4 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem próicit ventus a fácie terræ.
1:5 Ídeo non resúrgent ímpii in iudício: * neque peccatóres in concílio iustórum.
1:6 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam iustórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.

1:1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, † and has not remained in the way of sinners, * and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

1:3a And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, * which will provide its fruit in its time,
1:3b and its leaf will not fall away, * and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.
1:4 Not so the impious, not so. * For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

2:6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum eius, * prǽdicans præcéptum eius.

Ant. Serve the Lord * in fear, and rejoice before him with trembling.
Psalm 2
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.
2:13 Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, * blessed are all those who trust in him.

8:4 For I will behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: * the moon and the stars, which you have founded.
8:5 What is man, that you are mindful of him, * or the son of man, that you visit him?

9:14 Miserére mei, Dómine: * vide humilitátem meam de inimícis meis.
9:15 Qui exáltas me de portis mortis, * ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion.

9:16b In láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
9:17 Cognoscétur Dóminus iudícia fáciens: * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
9:18 Convertántur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes gentes quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
9:19 Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis: * patiéntia páuperum non períbit in finem.

9:15 You lift me up from the gates of death, * so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
9:16a I will exult in your salvation. * The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made.

Ant. Ut quid, Dómine, * recessísti longe?
Psalmus 9(22-32)
9:22 Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe, * déspicis in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?
9:23 Dum supérbit ímpius, incénditur pauper: * comprehendúntur in consíliis quibus cógitant.
9:24 Quóniam laudátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ: * et iníquus benedícitur.
9:25 Exacerbávit Dóminum peccátor, * secúndum multitúdinem iræ suæ non quæret.
9:26a Non est Deus in conspéctu eius: * inquinátæ sunt viæ illíus in omni témpore.
9:26b Auferúntur iudícia tua a fácie eius: * ómnium inimicórum suórum dominábitur.
9:27 Dixit enim in corde suo: * Non movébor a generatióne in generatiónem sine malo.
9:28 Cuius maledictióne os plenum est, et amaritúdine, et dolo: * sub lingua eius labor et dolor.
9:29 Sedet in insídiis cum divítibus in occúltis: * ut interfíciat innocéntem.
9:30a Óculi eius in páuperem respíciunt: * insidiátur in abscóndito, quasi leo in spelúnca sua.

Ant. Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe?
Ant. Why, O Lord, * have you withdrawn far away?
Psalm 9(22-32)
9:22 So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? * Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
9:23 While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. * They are held by the counsels that they devise.
9:24 For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, * and the iniquitous is blessed.
9:25 The sinner has provoked the Lord; * according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
9:26a God is not before his sight. * His ways are stained at all times.
9:26b Your judgments are removed from his face. * He will be master of all his enemies.
9:27 For he has said in his heart, * “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.”
9:28 His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. * Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
9:29 He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, * so that he may execute the innocent.
9:30a His eyes catch sight of the poor. * He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den.
9:30b He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, * to seize the poor as he draws him in.
9:31 With his snare, he will bring him down. * He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
9:32 For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, * he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.”
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Ant. Why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away?
Ant. Exsúrge, * Dómine Deus, exaltétur manus tua.
Psalmus 9(33-39)
9:33 Exsúrge, Dómine Deus, exaltétur manus tua: * ne obliviscáris páuperum.
9:34 Propter quid irritávit ímpius Deum? * dixit enim in corde suo: Non requíret.
9:35a Vides quóniam tu labórem et dolórem consíderas: * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
9:35b Tibi derelíctus est pauper: * órphano tu eris adiútor.
9:36 Cóntere brácchium peccatóris et malígni: * quærétur peccátum illíus, et non inveniétur.
9:37 Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum, et in sǽculum sǽculi: * períbitis, gentes, de terra illíus.

Psalm 10
10:2 I trust in the Lord. † How can you say to my soul, * “Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow.”

Incipit Epístola prima beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum
1 Tim 1:1-4
1 Paulus Apóstolus Iesu Christi secúndum impérium Dei Salvatóris nostri, et Christi Iesu spei nostræ:
2 Timótheo dilécto fílio in fide. Grátia, misericórdia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Iesu Dómino nostro.
3 Sicut rogávi te ut remanéres Ephesi, cum irem in Macedóniam, ut denuntiáres quibúsdam ne áliter docérent,
4 neque inténderent fábulis, et genealogíis interminátis: quæ quæstiónes præstant magis quam ædificatiónem Dei, quæ est in fide.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Dómine, ne in ira tua árguas me, neque in furóre tuo corrípias me:
Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum.
℣ Timor et tremor venérunt super me, et contexérunt me ténebræ.
℟ Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum.
℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
℟ Amen.
Here begins the First Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to Timothy
1 Tim 1:1-4
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the authority of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our hope,
2 to Timothy, beloved son in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Now I asked you to remain at Ephesus, while I went into Macedonia, so that you would speak strongly against certain ones who have been teaching a different way,
4 against those who have been paying attention to fables and endless genealogies. These things present questions as if they were greater than the edification that is of God, which is in faith.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger, nor chastise me in your wrath:
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak.
℣ Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
℟ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benediction. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
℟ Amen.

1 Tim 1:5-11
5 Finis autem præcépti est cáritas de corde puro, et consciéntia bona, et fide non ficta.
6 A quibus quidam aberrántes, convérsi sunt in vanilóquium,
7 voléntes esse legis doctóres, non intellegéntes neque quæ loquúntur, neque de quibus affírmant.
8 Scimus autem quia bona est lex, si quis ea legítime utátur:
9 sciens hoc quia lex iusto non est pósita, sed iniústis, et non súbditis, ímpiis et peccatóribus, scelerátis, et contaminátis, parricídis et matricídis, homicídis,
10 fornicáriis, masculórum concubitóribus, plagiáriis, mendácibus et periúris, et si quid áliud sanæ doctrínæ adversátur,
11 quæ est secúndum Evangélium glóriæ beáti Dei, quod créditum est mihi.
1 Tim 1:12-16
12 Grátias ago ei, qui me confortávit Christo Iesu Dómino nostro, quia fidélem me existimávit, ponens in ministério:
13 qui prius blasphémus fui, et persecútor, et contumeliósus: sed misericórdiam Dei consecútus sum, quia ignórans feci in incredulitáte.
14 Superabundávit autem grátia Dómini nostri cum fide et dilectióne, quæ est in Christo Iesu.
15 Fidélis sermo, et omni acceptióne dignus: quod Christus Iesus venit in hunc mundum peccatóres salvos fácere, quorum primus ego sum.
16 Sed ídeo misericórdiam consecútus sum: ut in me primo osténderet Christus Iesus omnem patiéntiam ad informatiónem eórum, qui creditúri sunt illi, in vitam ætérnam.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ A dextris est mihi Dóminus, ne commóvear:
Propter hoc dilatátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea.
℣ Dóminus pars hereditátis meæ, et cálicis mei.
℟ Propter hoc dilatátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea.

℟ Propter hoc dilatátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea.

1 Tim 1:5-11
5 Now the goal of instruction is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
6 Certain persons, wandering away from these things, have been turned aside to empty babbling,
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, but understanding neither the things that they themselves are saying, nor what they are affirming about these things.
8 But we know that the law is good, if one makes use of it properly.
9 Knowing this, that the law was not set in place for the just, but for the unjust and the insubordinate, for the impious and sinners, for the wicked and the defiled, for those who commit patricide, matricide, or homicide,
10 for fornicators, for males who sleep with males, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 which is in accord with the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, the Gospel which has been entrusted to me.
1 Tim 1:12-16
12 I give thanks to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he has considered me faithful, placing me in the ministry,
13 though previously I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contemptuous. But then I obtained the mercy of God. For I had been acting ignorantly, in unbelief.
14 And so the grace of our Lord has abounded greatly, with the faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.
15 It is a faithful saying, and worthy of acceptance by everyone, that Christ Jesus came into this world to bring salvation to sinners, among whom I am first.
16 But it was for this reason that I obtained mercy, so that in me as first, Christ Jesus would display all patience, for the instruction of those who would believe in him unto eternal life.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ The Lord is at my right hand, that I may not be moved:
Because of this, my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.
℣ The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my chalice.
℟ Because of this, my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ Because of this, my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benediction. Through the words of the Gospel may our offenses be blotted out.
℟ Amen.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 13:24-30
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus turbis parábolam hanc: Símile factum est regnum cælórum hómini, qui seminávit bonum semen in agro suo. Et réliqua.
A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 13:24-30
At that time: Jesus proposed this parable to the crowds: The kingdom of heaven has been made like a man who sowed good seed in his field. And so forth.
Homilía S. Augustíni Epíscopi
Liber Quæst. Evang. in Matth. cap. 11, tom. 4
Cum negligéntius ágerent præpósiti Ecclésiæ, aut cum dormitiónem mortis accíperent Apóstoli, venit diábolus, et superseminávit eos, quos malos fílios Dóminus interpretátur. Sed quǽritur: utrum hærétici sint, an male vivéntes cathólici? Possunt enim dici fílii mali étiam hærétici, quia ex eódem Evangélii sémine, et Christi nómine procreáti, pravis opiniónibus ad falsa dógmata convertúntur.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
A Homily of Saint Augustine, Bishop
Liber Quæst. Evang. in Matth. cap. 11, tom. 4
When the leaders of the Church were acting too negligently, or when the Apostles received the sleep of death, the devil came and oversowed those whom the Lord interprets as wicked children. But the question is raised: are these heretics, or Catholics who live badly? For wicked children can also be said to be heretics, because, having been generated from the same seed of the Gospel and the name of Christ, they are turned by perverse opinions to false doctrines.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
