Hymnus
Deus tuórum mílitum
Sors, et córona, prǽmium,
Laudes canéntes Mártyris
Absólve nexu críminis.
Hic nempe mundi gáudia,
Et blanda fraudum pábula
Imbúta felle députans,
Pervénit ad cæléstia.
Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,
Et sústulit viríliter,
Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.
Ob hoc precátu súpplici
Te póscimus, piíssime;
In hoc triúmpho Mártyris
Dimítte noxam sérvulis.
Laus et perénnis glória
Patri sit, atque Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
O God, the lot, crown, and reward
of your soldiers:
as we sing the praises of the Martyr,
free us from the bond of sin.
For he, reckoning the joys of this world
and the enticing food of deception
as bitter gall,
arrived at the things of heaven.
He ran bravely through his punishments
and bore them manfully,
and, shedding his blood for you,
now possesses eternal gifts.
For this, with suppliant prayer
we entreat you, most merciful One;
in this triumph of the Martyr
forgive your servants their offenses.
Let enduring praise and glory
be to the Father, and to the Son,
and likewise to the Holy Paraclete,
through all eternal ages.
Amen.

Ant. Dóminus de cælo * prospéxit super fílios hóminum.
Psalmus 13 [1]
13:1a Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * non est Deus.
13:1b Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:2 Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intéllegens, aut requírens Deum.
13:3a Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:3b Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum: † linguis suis dolóse agébant * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
13:3c Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.
13:3d Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum, † et viam pacis non cognovérunt: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.
13:4 Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
13:5 Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
13:6 Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne justa est, † consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes ejus est.
13:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Jacob, et lætábitur Israël.

14:2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
14:3a Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
14:3b Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
14:4a Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
14:4b Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * (5a) qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.

Nah 1:4-6
4 Infirmátus est Basan et Carmélus, et flos Líbani elánguit,
5 Montes commóti sunt ab eo, et colles desoláti sunt: et contrémuit terra a fácie ejus, et orbis et omnes habitántes in eo.
6 Ante fáciem indignatiónis ejus quis stabit? et quis resístet in ira furóris ejus? Indignátio ejus effúsa est ut ignis, et petræ dissolútæ sunt ab eo.
Nah 1:7-10
7 Bonus Dóminus, et confórtans in die tribulatiónis, et sciens sperántes in se.

Lectio 3
Clemens, Románus, discípulus beáti Petri, septem Urbis regiónes divísit septem notáriis, síngulas síngulis attríbuens, qui passiónes Mártyrum et res ab eis gestas, diligentíssime conquisítas, lítteris mandárent. Multa scripsit et ipse accuráte et salutáriter, quibus christiánam religiónem illustrávit. Cum autem doctrína ac vitæ sanctitáte multos ad Christi fidem convérteret, a Trajáno imperatóre relegátus est trans mare Pónticum in solitúdine urbis Chersónæ, in qua duo míllia Christianórum réperit, qui ab eódem Trajáno condemnáti fúerant. Cum multos ibi infidéles, ad Christi fidem convertísset, jussu ejúsdem imperatóris alligáta ad ejus collum ánchora, in mare præcipitátus, martýrio coronátus est. Ejus corpus, Nicoláo primo Pontífice Romam translátum, in ecclésia, quæ ejus nómine ántea fúerat dicáta, honorífice recónditum est.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.

Ant. The Lord * has looked down from heaven upon the children of men.
Psalm 13 [1]
13:1a The fool has said in his heart, * “There is no God.”
13:1b They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their deeds. * There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
13:2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, * to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
13:3a They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. * There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
13:3b Their throat is an open sepulcher. † With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; * the venom of asps is under their lips.
13:3c Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. * Their feet are swift to shed blood.
13:3d Destruction and misery are in their ways; † and the way of peace, they have not known. * There is no fear of God before their eyes.
13:4 Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, * who devour my people like a meal of bread?
13:5 They have not called upon the Lord. * There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
13:6 For the Lord is with the just generation. † You have confounded the counsel of the needy * because the Lord is his hope.

16:3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. * You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.

16:11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. * They have cast their eyes down to the earth.
16:12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, * and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
16:13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. * Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear (14a) from the enemies of your hand.
16:14b Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. * Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores.
16:14c They have been filled with sons, * and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
16:15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. * I will be satisfied when your glory appears.

17:9 A smoke ascended by his wrath, † and a fire flared up from his face: * coals were kindled by it.
17:10 He bent the heavens, and he descended. * And darkness was under his feet.
17:11 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew: * he flew upon the feathers of the winds.
17:12 And he set darkness as his hiding place, † with his tabernacle all around him: * dark waters in the clouds of the air.
17:13 At the brightness that was before his sight, the clouds crossed by, * with hail and coals of fire.
17:14 And the Lord thundered from heaven, † and the Most High uttered his voice: * hail and coals of fire.
17:15 And he sent forth his arrows and scattered them. * He multiplied lightnings, and he set them in disarray.

17:21 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice, * and he will repay me according to the purity of my hands.
17:22 For I have preserved the ways of the Lord, * and I have not behaved impiously before my God.
17:23 For all his judgments are in my sight, * and his justice, I have not pushed away from me.
17:24 And I will be immaculate together with him, * and I will keep myself from my iniquity.
17:25 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice * and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
17:26 With the holy, you will be holy, * and with the innocent, you will be innocent,

Lesson 1
The beginning of the Prophet Nahum
Nah 1:1-4
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God is jealous, and the Lord is avenging. The Lord is avenging, and one who applies wrath. The Lord is avenging with his enemies, and he becomes angry with his adversaries.
3 The Lord is patient and great in strength, and he will not acquit the guilty. The Lord is in a tempest, and his way is a whirlwind, and the clouds are dust at his feet.
4 He is the one who rebukes the sea, and who dries it up, and who leads all the rivers to the desert.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ As holy Clement was praying, the Lamb of God appeared to him,
* From beneath whose foot a living fountain flows: the rushing of the river makes glad the city of God.
℣ I saw the Lamb standing upon the mountain.
℟ From beneath whose foot a living fountain flows: the rushing of the river makes glad the city of God.

℟ Amen.
Lesson 2
Nah 1:4-6
4 Bashan and Carmel have languished, and the flower of Lebanon has withered.
5 The mountains have trembled before him, and the hills have become desolate, and the earth has quaked before his face, both the world and all that dwells in it.
6 Who can stand firm before the face of his indignation? And who can continue against the fury of his wrath? His indignation has been poured out like fire, and the rocks have been destroyed by him.
Nah 1:7-10
7 The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
8 And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.
9 What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.
10 For just as thorns entwine one another, so also, while they are feasting and drinking together, they will be consumed like stubble that is completely dry.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ You gave, O Lord, a dwelling to your martyr Clement in the sea, prepared by the hands of angels in the manner of a marble temple:

℟ Amen.
Lesson 3
Clement, a Roman, a disciple of blessed Peter, divided the seven regions of the City among seven notaries, assigning one to each, to commit to writing the passions of the Martyrs and their deeds after investigating them most diligently. He himself also wrote many things accurately and beneficially, by which he illustrated the Christian religion. But when by his teaching and holiness of life he was converting many to the faith of Christ, he was exiled by the Emperor Trajan beyond the Black Sea, in the solitude of the city of Cherson, where he found two thousand Christians who had been condemned by the same Trajan. When he had there converted many unbelievers to the faith of Christ, he was, by the order of the same Emperor, thrown headlong into the sea with an anchor tied to his neck, and crowned with martyrdom. His body, translated to Rome by the first Pope Nicholas, was honorably laid in the church which had previously been dedicated in his name.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
