Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 24:36-47
In illo témpore: Stetit Jesus in médio discipulórum, et dicit eis: Pax vobis: ego sum, nolíte timére. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi
Liber 10. Comment. in Lucam, cap. 24, ante finem
Mirum, quo modo se natúra corpórea per impenetrábile corpus infúderit invisíbili áditu, visíbili conspéctu: tangi fácilis, diffícilis æstimári. Dénique conturbáti discípuli æstimábant se spíritum vidére. Et ídeo Dóminus, ut spéciem nobis resurrectiónis osténderet: Palpáte, inquit, et vidéte, quia spíritus carnem et ossa non habet, sicut me vidétis habére. Non ergo per incorpóream natúram, sed per resurrectiónis qualitátem, impérvia usu clausa penetrávit. Nam quod tángitur, corpus est: quod palpátur, corpus est.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Virtúte magna reddébant Apóstoli,
* Testimónium resurrectiónis Jesu Christi Dómini nostri, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Repléti quidem Spíritu Sancto loquebántur cum fidúcia verbum Dei.
℟ Testimónium resurrectiónis Jesu Christi Dómini nostri, allelúja, allelúja.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
℟ Amen.
Lectio 2
In córpore autem resurgémus. Seminátur enim corpus animále, surgit corpus spiritále: sed illud subtílius, hoc crássius, útpote adhuc terrénæ labis qualitáte concrétum. Nam quómodo non corpus, in quo manébant insígnia vúlnerum, vestígia cicatrícum, quæ Dóminus palpánda óbtulit? In quo non solum fidem firmat, sed étiam devotiónem ácuit, quod vúlnera suscépta pro nobis cælo inférre máluit, abolére nóluit: ut Deo Patri nostræ prétia libertátis osténderet. Talem sibi Pater ad déxteram locat, trophǽum nostræ salútis ampléctens: tales illic Mártyres nobis cicatrícis suæ coróna monstrávit.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ De ore prudéntis procédit mel, allelúja: dulcédo mellis est sub língua ejus, allelúja:

Lectio 3
Et quóniam sermo huc noster evásit, considerémus qua grátia secúndum Joánnem credíderint Apóstoli, qui gavísi sunt; secúndum Lucam quasi incréduli redarguántur: ibi Spíritum Sanctum accéperint, hic sedére in civitáte jubeántur, quoadúsque induántur virtúte ex alto. Et vidétur mihi ille quasi Apóstolus majóra et altióra tetigísse, hic sequéntia et humánis próxima: hic histórico usus circúitu, ille compéndio: quia et de illo dubitári non potest, qui testimónium pérhibet de iis, quibus ipse intérfuit, et verum est testimónium ejus: et ab hoc quoque, qui Evangelísta esse méruit, vel negligéntiæ, vel mendácii suspiciónem æquum est propulsári. Et ídeo verum putámus utrúmque, non sententiárum varietáte, nec personárum diversitáte distínctum. Nam etsi primo Lucas eos non credidísse dicat, póstea tamen credidísse demónstrat: et si prima considerémus, contrária sunt: si sequéntia, certum est conveníre.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.

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.

Lesson 1
A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
Luc 24:36-47
At that time: Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: “Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid.” And so forth.
A Homily of Saint Ambrose the Bishop
Book 10 of the Commentary on Luke, chapter 24, before the end
It is wondrous how a bodily nature poured itself through an impenetrable body — with invisible entry yet visible appearance: easy to touch, difficult to estimate. Hence the disciples in their confusion supposed they were seeing a spirit. And so the Lord, to show us the nature of the Resurrection, said: ‘Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see that I have.’ It was not, therefore, through an incorporeal nature, but through the quality of the Resurrection, that he passed through closed and impenetrable doors. For what is touched is a body; what is handled is a body.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ With great power the Apostles gave
* Testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ And being filled with the Holy Spirit, they spoke the word of God with confidence.
℟ Testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benediction. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
℟ Amen.
Lesson 2
We shall rise, however, in the body. For it is sown a natural body; it rises a spiritual body — yet the latter more refined, the former more gross, inasmuch as it is still formed by the quality of earthly corruption. For how can it not be a body, since the Lord offered the marks of wounds and the traces of scars to be touched? — in which he not only confirms faith but also sharpens devotion, in that he preferred to carry into heaven the wounds he received for our sake, unwilling to abolish them: so that he might show the Father the price of our liberty. Such is the body that the Father places at his right hand, embracing the trophy of our salvation: there he has shown us the Martyrs likewise, crowned with their scars.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ From the mouth of the wise man honey flows forth, alleluia: the sweetness of honey is under his tongue, alleluia:
* His lips are a dripping honeycomb, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Wisdom rests in his heart, and prudence is in the word of his mouth.
℟ His lips are a dripping honeycomb, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ His lips are a dripping honeycomb, 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
And since our discourse has arrived at this point, let us consider why, according to John, the Apostles believed and rejoiced; while according to Luke they are as it were rebuked as unbelieving: there they received the Holy Spirit, while here they are commanded to remain in the city until they are clothed with power from on high. And it seems to me that the former, as an Apostle, touched upon the greater and loftier matters, while the latter recounts the subsequent and more humanly accessible ones: the former using a compendious approach, the latter an historical circuit: for there can be no doubt about the one who bears witness to those things at which he himself was present, and his testimony is true; and from the latter also, who merited to be an Evangelist, it is right to repel any suspicion of negligence or falsehood. And therefore we hold both to be true, not distinguished by any variety of meaning or diversity of persons. For even if Luke first says that they did not believe, yet he afterwards shows that they did believe: and if we consider the first statements, they are contrary; if the subsequent ones, it is certain that they agree.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
O God, we praise you; * O Lord, we acclaim you.
Eternal Father, * all the earth reveres you.

We believe you are the Judge * who is to come.
(The following verse is said kneeling) And so we beg you, help your servants, * redeemed by your most precious blood.
Number them * among your Saints in eternal glory.
Save your people, Lord, * and bless your inheritance.
Shepherd them * and raise them to eternal life.
Day by day * we bless you,
(A bow is made, according to custom) and we praise your name * for endless ages evermore.
Be gracious, Lord, on this day, * and keep us from all sin.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, * have mercy.
May your mercy be upon us, Lord, * as we place our trust in you.
In you, O Lord, I rest my hope: * let me never be put to shame.
