Ex Tractátu sancti Augustíni Epíscopi super Psalmos
In Psalmum 63 versum 7
Accédet homo ad cor altum, et exaltábitur Deus. Illi dixérunt: Quis nos vidébit? Defecérunt scrutántes scrutatiónes, consília mala. Accéssit homo ad ipsa consília, passus est se tenéri ut homo. Non enim tenerétur nisi homo, aut viderétur nisi homo, aut cæderétur nisi homo, aut crucifigerétur, aut morerétur nisi homo. Accéssit ergo homo ad illas omnes passiónes, quæ in illo nihil valérent, nisi esset homo. Sed si ille non esset homo, non liberarétur homo. Accéssit homo ad cor altum, id est, cor secrétum, obíciens aspéctibus humánis hóminem, servans intus Deum: celans formam Dei, in qua æquális est Patri, et ófferens formam servi, qua minor est Patre.
℟ Recéssit pastor noster, fons aquæ vivæ, ad cujus tránsitum sol obscurátus est:
* Nam et ille captus est, qui captívum tenébat primum hóminem: hódie portas mortis et seras páriter Salvátor noster disrúpit.
℣ Destrúxit quidem claustra inférni, et subvértit poténtias diáboli.
℟ Nam et ille captus est, qui captívum tenébat primum hóminem: hódie portas mortis et seras páriter Salvátor noster disrúpit.
Lectio 5
Quo perduxérunt illas scrutatiónes suas, quas perscrutántes defecérunt, ut étiam mórtuo Dómino et sepúlto, custódes pónerent ad sepúlcrum? Dixérunt enim Piláto: Sedúctor ille: hoc appellabátur nómine Dóminus Jesus Christus, ad solátium servórum suórum, quando dicúntur seductóres: ergo illi Piláto: Sedúctor ille, ínquiunt, dixit adhuc vivens: Post tres dies resúrgam. Jube ítaque custodíri sepúlcrum usque in diem tértium, ne forte véniant discípuli ejus, et furéntur eum, et dicant plebi: Surréxit a mórtuis: et erit novíssimus error pejor prióre. Ait illis Pilátus: Habétis custódiam, ite, custodíte sicut scitis. Illi autem abeúntes, muniérunt sepúlcrum, signántes lápidem cum custódibus.
℟ O vos omnes, qui transítis per viam, atténdite, et vidéte,
* Si est dolor símilis sicut dolor meus.
℣ Atténdite, univérsi pópuli, et vidéte dolórem meum.
℟ Si est dolor símilis sicut dolor meus.
Lectio 6
Posuérunt custódes mílites ad sepúlcrum. Concússa terra Dóminus resurréxit: mirácula facta sunt tália circa sepúlcrum, ut et ipsi mílites, qui custódes advénerant, testes fíerent, si vellent vera nuntiáre. Sed avarítia illa, quæ captivávit discípulum cómitem Christi, captivávit et mílitem custódem sepúlcri. Damus, ínquiunt, vobis pecúniam: et dícite, quia vobis dormiéntibus venérunt discípuli ejus, et abstulérunt eum. Vere defecérunt scrutántes scrutatiónes. Quid est quod dixísti, o infélix astútia? Tantúmne déseris lucem consílii pietátis, et in profúnda versútiæ demérgeris, ut hoc dicas: Dícite quia vobis dormiéntibus venérunt discípuli ejus, et abstulérunt eum? Dormiéntes testes ádhibes: vere tu ipse obdormísti, qui scrutándo tália defecísti.
℟ Ecce quómodo móritur justus, et nemo pércipit corde: et viri justi tollúntur, et nemo consíderat: a fácie iniquitátis sublátus est justus:
* Et erit in pace memória ejus.

De Epístola beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos
Heb 9:11-14
11 Christus assístens Póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manufáctum, id est, non hujus creatiónis:
12 Neque per sánguinem hircórum, aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta.
13 Si enim sanguis hircórum, et taurórum, et cinis vítulæ aspérsus inquinátos sanctíficat ad emundatiónem carnis:
14 Quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spíritum Sanctum semetípsum óbtulit immaculátum Deo, emundábit consciéntiam nostram ab opéribus mórtuis, ad serviéndum Deo vivénti?
℟ Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum,

16 Ubi enim testaméntum est: mors necésse est intercédat testatóris.

Lesson 1
From the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah
Lam 3:22-30
22 HETH. By the mercies of the Lord, we are not consumed. For his compassion has not passed away.
23 HETH. I know it at first light; great is your faithfulness.
24 HETH. “The Lord is my portion,” said my soul. Because of this, I will wait for him.
25 TETH. The Lord is good to those who hope in him, to the soul that seeks him.
26 TETH. It is good to stand ready in silence for the salvation of God.
27 TETH. It is good for a man, when he has carried the yoke from his youth.
28 JOD. He shall sit solitary and silent. For he has lifted it upon himself.
29 JOD. He shall place his mouth in the dirt, if perhaps there may be hope.
30 JOD. He shall give his cheek to those who strike him; he shall be saturated with reproaches.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord your God.
℟ Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter, and while he was ill-treated, he opened not his mouth: he was handed over to death,
* That he might give life to his people.
℣ He delivered his soul unto death, and was reckoned among the wicked.
℟ That he might give life to his people.
Lesson 2
Lam 4:1-6
1 ALEPH. O how the gold has become dulled, the finest color has been altered, the stones of the sanctuary have been scattered at the head of every street.
2 BETH. The famous sons of Zion, and those clothed with the foremost gold: how they have become like earthen vessels, the work of the hands of a potter.
3 GHIMEL. Yet even savages expose their breast and give milk to their young. But the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostrich in the desert.
4 DALETH. The tongue of the infant adheres to his palate out of thirst. The little ones have asked for bread, and there was no one to break it for them.
5 HE. Those who were fed indulgently have passed away in the roads. Those who were nourished with saffron have welcomed filth.
6 VAU. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people has been made greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and yet hands did not take captives in her.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn back to the Lord your God.
℟ Jerusalem, arise, and put off the garments of your gladness: clothe yourself in ashes and sackcloth,
* for in you was slain the Savior of Israel.

℟ for in you was slain the Savior of Israel.
Lesson 3
The beginning of the Prayer of the Prophet Jeremiah
Lam 5:1-11
1 Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us. Consider and look kindly upon our disgrace.
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to foreigners; our houses to outsiders.
3 We have become orphans without a father; our mothers are like widows.
4 We paid for our drinking water. We acquired our wood for a price.
5 We were dragged by our necks. Being weary, no rest was given to us.
6 We have given our hand to Egypt and to the Assyrians, so that we may be satisfied with bread.
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not. And we have carried their iniquities.
8 Servants have become rulers over us. There was no one to redeem us from their hand.
9 We obtained our bread at the risk of our lives, before the face of the sword, in the wilderness.
10 Our skin was burned, as if by an oven, before the face of the tempest of the famine.
11 They humiliated the women in Zion and the virgins in the cities of Judah.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn to the Lord your God.
℟ Wail like a virgin, O my people; howl, O shepherds, in ashes and sackcloth:
* For the great and bitter day of the Lord is coming.
℣ Gird yourselves, O priests, and wail; mourn, O ministers of the altar; sprinkle yourselves with ashes.

23:5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God, his Savior.

26:3 If a battle were to rise up against me, * I would have hope in this.
26:4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
26:4 so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, * and may visit his temple.
26:5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. * In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
26:6 He has exalted me upon the rock, * and now he has exalted my head above my enemies.
26:6 I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. * I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
26:7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. * Have mercy on me, and hear me.
26:8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. * I yearn for your face, O Lord.
26:9 Do not turn your face away from me. * In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant.
26:9 Be my helper. * Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Savior.
26:10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, * but the Lord has taken me up.
26:11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, * and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
26:12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. * For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.

29:6 For wrath is in his indignation, * and life is in his will.
29:6 Toward evening, weeping will linger, * and toward morning, gladness.
29:7 But I have said in my abundance: * “I will never be disturbed.”
29:8 O Lord, in your will, * you made virtue preferable to beauty for me.

29:9 To you, Lord, I will cry out. * And I will make supplication to my God.
29:10 What use would there be in my blood, * if I descend into corruption?

Lesson 4
From the Treatise of Saint Augustine the Bishop on the Psalms
On Psalm 63, verse 7
A man shall come to a deep heart, and God shall be exalted. They said: 'Who will see us?' Those who search out evil counsels have failed. The man came to those very counsels, and allowed himself to be seized as a man. For he could not be seized unless as a man, nor seen unless as a man, nor struck unless as a man, nor crucified, nor could he die unless as a man. The man therefore came to all those sufferings which in him were of no avail unless he were man. But if he were not man, man would not be freed. The man came to the deep heart, that is, the hidden heart, presenting to human eyes the man while keeping God within: concealing the form of God, in which he is equal to the Father, and offering the form of a servant, in which he is less than the Father.
℟ Our shepherd has departed, the fountain of living water, at whose passing the sun was darkened:
* For he who had held the first man captive is himself taken captive: today our Savior has broken the gates of death and their bars alike.
℣ He has indeed destroyed the bars of hell, and overthrown the powers of the devil.
℟ For he who had held the first man captive is himself taken captive: today our Savior has broken the gates of death and their bars alike.
Lesson 5
To what end have they brought those scrutinies of theirs, in which they searched and failed — so that even after the Lord was dead and buried, they set guards at the tomb? For they said to Pilate: That deceiver — this was the name by which the Lord Jesus Christ was called, for the consolation of his servants when they are called deceivers — therefore those men said to Pilate: That deceiver said, while he was still living: After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the tomb be guarded until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people: He has risen from the dead; and the last deception would be worse than the first. Pilate said to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know how. And they, departing, secured the tomb, sealing the stone with the guards.
℟ O all you who pass by the way, attend and see,
* If there is any sorrow like my sorrow.
℣ Attend, all you peoples, and see my sorrow.
℟ If there is any sorrow like my sorrow.
Lesson 6
Soldiers were posted as guards at the tomb. When the earth shook, the Lord rose: miracles were wrought around the tomb such that even the soldiers who had come as guards could have been witnesses, had they chosen to report the truth. But that greed which had enslaved the disciple who was the companion of Christ enslaved also the soldier who was the guard of the tomb. We give you money, they said; say that while you were sleeping his disciples came and took him away. Truly, those who search out schemes have come to an end. What have you said, O wretched cunning? Do you forsake the light of righteous counsel so utterly, and plunge so deep into the pit of craftiness, as to say: Say that while you were sleeping his disciples came and took him away? You call upon sleeping men as witnesses: truly, you yourself have fallen asleep, who have worn yourself out searching out such schemes.
℟ Behold how the just man dies, and no one takes it to heart; and just men are taken away, and no one considers: the just man has been taken away from the face of iniquity:
* And his memory will be in peace.
℣ Like a lamb before its shearer he was silent and did not open his mouth: from anguish and from judgment he was taken away.
℟ And his memory will be in peace.
The Gloria is omitted
℟ Behold how the just man dies, and no one takes it to heart; and just men are taken away, and no one considers: the just man has been taken away from the face of iniquity: * And his memory will be in peace.

75:7 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, * those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.
75:8 You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? * From thence is your wrath.
75:9 You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. * The earth trembled and was quieted,
75:10 when God rose up in judgment * in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.
75:11 For the thinking of man will confess to you, * and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.
75:12 Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. * All you who surround him bring gifts:
75:13 to him who is terrible, even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, * to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.

87:4 For my soul has been filled with evils, * and my life has drawn near to Hell.
87:5 I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. * I have become like a man without assistance, idle among the dead.
87:6 I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, * and who have been repelled by your hand.
87:7 They have lain me in the lower pit: * in dark places and in the shadow of death.
87:8 Your fury has been confirmed over me. * And you have brought all your waves upon me.
87:9 You have sent my acquaintances far from me. * They have set me as an abomination to themselves.
87:9 I was handed over, yet I did not depart. * My eyes languished before destitution.
87:10 All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. * I stretched out my hands to you.
87:11 Will you perform wonders for the dead? * Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?
87:12 Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, * or your truth from within perdition?
87:13 Will your wonders be known in the darkness, * or your justice in the land of oblivion?
87:14 And I have cried out to you, O Lord, * and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.
87:15 Lord, why do you reject my prayer? * Why do you turn your face away from me?
87:16 I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. * And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
87:17 Your wrath has crossed into me, * and your terrors have disturbed me.
87:18 They have surrounded me like water, all day long. * They have surrounded me, all at once.

Lesson 7
From the Epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul to the Hebrews
Heb 9:11-14
11 But Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation,
12 Entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood.
13 For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the ashes of a calf, when these are sprinkled, sanctify those who have been defiled, in order to cleanse the flesh,
14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Holy Spirit has offered himself, immaculate, to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, in order to serve the living God?
℟ The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes gathered together,
* Against the Lord, and against his Christ.
℣ Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
℟ Against the Lord, and against his Christ.
Lesson 8
Heb 9:15-18
15 And thus he is the Mediator of the new testament, so that, by his death, he intercedes for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, so that those who have been called may receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.
16 For where there is a testament, it is necessary for the death of the one who testifies to intervene.
17 For a testament is confirmed by death. Otherwise, it as yet has no force, as long as the one who testifies lives.
18 Therefore, indeed, the first was not dedicated without blood.
℟ I was reckoned among those who go down into the pit:
* I became as a man without help, free among the dead.
℣ They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.
℟ I became as a man without help, free among the dead.
Lesson 9
Heb 9:19-22
19 For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to the entire people, he took up the blood of calves and goats, with water and with scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the book itself and the entire people,
20 Saying: “This is the blood of the testament which God has commanded for you.”
21 And even the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the ministry, he similarly sprinkled with blood.
22 And nearly everything, according to the law, is to be cleansed with blood. And without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.
℟ When the Lord was buried, the tomb was sealed, rolling a stone to the door of the tomb:
* Placing soldiers to guard him.
℣ The chief priests went to Pilate and petitioned him.
℟ Placing soldiers to guard him.
The Gloria is omitted
℟ When the Lord was buried, the tomb was sealed, rolling a stone to the door of the tomb: * Placing soldiers to guard him.
