Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde, ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas: quibus jurávi in ira mea: Si introíbunt in réquiem meam.

Lectio 1
Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 20:1-9
In illo témpore: Una sábbati María Magdaléne venit mane, cum adhuc ténebræ essent, ad monuméntum. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ
Homilia 22 in Evangelia
Léctio sancti Evangélii, quam modo, fratres, audístis, valde in superfície histórica est apérta: sed ejus nobis sunt mystéria sub brevitáte requirénda. María Magdaléne, cum adhuc ténebræ essent, venit ad monuméntum. Juxta históriam notátur hora: juxta intelléctum vero mýsticum, requiréntis signátur intellegéntia. María étenim auctórem ómnium, quem in carne víderat mórtuum, quærébat in monuménto; et quia hunc mínime invénit, furátum crédidit. Adhuc ergo erant ténebræ, cum venit ad monuméntum. Cucúrrit cítius, discípulis nuntiávit: sed illi præ céteris cucurrérunt, qui præ céteris amavérunt, vidélicet Petrus et Joánnes.
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Christus resúrgens ex mórtuis, jam non móritur, mors illi ultra non dominábitur: quod enim mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel:
* Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Mórtuus est semel propter delícta nostra, et resurréxit propter justificatiónem nostram.
℟ Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Jube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
℟ Amen.
Lectio 2
Currébant autem duo simul: sed Joánnes præcucúrrit cítius Petro. Venit prior ad monuméntum, et íngredi non præsúmpsit. Venit ergo postérior Petrus, et intrávit. Quid, fratres, quid cursus signíficat? Numquid hæc tam subtílis Evangelístæ descríptio a mystériis vacáre credénda est? Mínime. Neque enim se Joánnes et præísse, et non intrásse díceret, si in ipsa sui trepidatióne mystérium defuísse credidísset. Quid ergo per Joánnem, nisi synagóga: quid per Petrum, nisi Ecclésia designátur?
℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Isti sunt agni novélli, qui annuntiavérunt, allelúja: modo venérunt ad fontes,
* Repléti sunt claritáte, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ In conspéctu Agni amícti sunt stolis albis, et palmæ in mánibus eórum.
℟ Repléti sunt claritáte, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟ Repléti sunt claritáte, allelúja, allelúja.
℣ Jube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
℟ Amen.
Lectio 3
Nec mirum esse videátur, quod per juniórem synagóga, per seniórem vero Ecclésia signári perhibétur: quia etsi ad Dei cultum prior est synagóga, quam Ecclésia géntium, ad usum tamen sǽculi prior est multitúdo géntium, quam synagóga, Paulo attestánte, qui ait: Quia non prius quod spiritále est, sed quod animále. Per seniórem ergo Petrum significátur Ecclésia géntium: per juniórem vero Joánnem synagóga Judæórum. Currunt ambo simul: quia ab ortus sui témpore usque ad occásum, pari et commúni via, etsi non pari et commúni sensu, gentílitas cum synagóga cucúrrit. Venit synagóga prior ad monuméntum, sed mínime intrávit: quia legis quidem mandáta percépit, prophetías de incarnatióne ac passióne Domínica audívit, sed crédere in mórtuum nóluit.
℣ 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.
2:11 Serve the Lord in fear, * and exult in him with trembling.

Lesson 1
A Reading from the holy Gospel according to John
John 20:1-9
At that time: on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark. And so forth.
A Homily of Saint Gregory, Pope
Homily 22 on the Gospels
The reading of the holy Gospel which you have just now heard, brethren, is very clear on the surface of the narrative; but we must briefly examine its mysteries. Mary Magdalene, while it was still dark, came to the tomb. Historically, the hour is noted; but according to the mystical sense, the understanding of one who is searching is indicated. For Mary was seeking in the tomb him whom she had seen dead in the flesh, the Author of all things; and because she did not find him, she believed he had been stolen. It was still dark, therefore, when she came to the tomb. She ran quickly and told the disciples; but those who surpassed the others ran first, who surpassed the others in love — namely, Peter and John.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ Christ, rising from the dead, dies now no more, death shall no longer have dominion over him: for in that he died, he died to sin once:
* But in that he lives, he lives unto God, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ He died once for our offenses, and rose again for our justification.
℟ But in that he lives, he lives unto God, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benediction. May the divine assistance remain always with us.
℟ Amen.
Lesson 2
Now the two ran together, but John ran ahead more swiftly than Peter. He arrived first at the tomb and did not presume to enter. Peter, then, came after and entered. What, brethren, what does this running signify? Can this so precise description by the Evangelist be thought to be without mystery? Not at all. For John would not say both that he had run ahead and had not entered, if he had believed that mystery was absent from his very hesitation. What then is signified by John, if not the synagogue; and by Peter, if not the Church?
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℟ These are the new lambs who have proclaimed, alleluia: now they have come to the fountains,
* They are filled with brightness, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ In the sight of the Lamb they are clothed in white robes, and palms are in their hands.
℟ They are filled with brightness, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ They are filled with brightness, 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
Nor need it seem strange that by the younger, the Synagogue, and by the elder, the Church, is signified: for even though the Synagogue is prior to the Church of the Gentiles in the worship of God, yet in the use of the world, the multitude of the Gentiles is prior to the Synagogue, as Paul testifies, saying: Not that first which is spiritual, but that which is natural. By the elder Peter, therefore, the Church of the Gentiles is signified; by the younger John, the Synagogue of the Jews. They run together: because from the beginning of its existence to the end, the Gentile world ran together with the Synagogue on a common and equal road, though not with an equal and common sense. The Synagogue arrived first at the tomb, but did not enter: because it received the commandments of the Law, heard the prophecies concerning the Incarnation and Passion of the Lord, but was unwilling to believe in one who had died.
℣ 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.

Heaven and earth are filled * with the majesty of your glory.
The glorious choir of Apostles * sings to you,
the noble company of Prophets * praises you,
the white-robed army of Martyrs * glorifies you.
Holy Church throughout the earth * proclaims you,
the Father * of boundless majesty;
your true and only Son, * worthy of adoration;
and the Holy Spirit, * the Paraclete.
You, O Christ, * are the King of glory.
You are * the Father's everlasting Son.
(A bow is made) When you resolved to save the human race, * you did not spurn the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of death * and opened the Kingdom of Heaven to those who put their faith in you.
You are seated at the right hand of God * in the glory of the Father.
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.
The rest is omitted unless Lauds is said separately.
