Hymnus

Jam lucis orto sídere,

Deum precémur súpplices,

Ut in diúrnis áctibus

Nos servet a nocéntibus.

Linguam refrénans témperet,

Ne litis horror ínsonet:

Visum fovéndo cóntegat,

Ne vanitátes háuriat.

Sint pura cordis íntima,

Absístat et vecórdia;

Carnis terat supérbiam

Potus cibíque párcitas.

Ut, cum dies abscésserit,

Noctémque sors redúxerit,

Mundi per abstinéntiam

Ipsi canámus glóriam.

Deo Patri sit glória,

Ejúsque soli Fílio,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito,

Nunc et per omne sǽculum.

Amen.

Now in the sun's new dawning ray,

Lowly of heart, our God we pray

That he from harm may keep us free

In all the deeds this day shall see.

May fear of him our tongues restrain,

Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:

His favouring care our guardian be,

Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

May every heart be pure from sin

And folly find no place therein:

Scant need of food, excess denied,

Wear down in us the body's pride.

That when the light of day is gone,

And night in course shall follow on.

We, free from cares the world affords,

May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

All laud to God the Father be,

All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:

All glory, as is ever meet,

To God the holy Paraclete.

Amen.

Psalmi

Ant. Exaltáre, Dómine, * qui júdicas terram: redde retributiónem supérbis.

Psalmus 93(1-11) [1]

93:1 Deus ultiónum Dóminus: * Deus ultiónum líbere egit.

93:2 Exaltáre, qui júdicas terram: * redde retributiónem supérbis.

93:3 Úsquequo peccatóres, Dómine, * úsquequo peccatóres gloriabúntur:

93:4 Effabúntur, et loquéntur iniquitátem: * loquéntur omnes, qui operántur injustítiam?

93:5 Pópulum tuum, Dómine, humiliavérunt: * et hereditátem tuam vexavérunt.

93:6 Víduam, et ádvenam interfecérunt: * et pupíllos occidérunt.

93:7 Et dixérunt: Non vidébit Dóminus, * nec intélleget Deus Jacob.

93:8 Intellégite, insipiéntes in pópulo: * et stulti, aliquándo sápite.

93:9 Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet? * aut qui finxit óculum, non consíderat?

93:10 Qui córripit gentes, non árguet: * qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?

Psalmus 93(12-23) [2]

93:12 Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine: * et de lege tua docúeris eum,

93:13 Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: * donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.

93:14 Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: * et hereditátem suam non derelínquet.

93:15 Quoadúsque justítia convertátur in judícium: * et qui juxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde.

93:16 Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes? * aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem?

93:17 Nisi quia Dóminus adjúvit me: * paulo minus habitásset in inférno ánima mea.

93:18 Si dicébam: Motus est pes meus: * misericórdia tua, Dómine, adjuvábat me.

93:19 Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo: * consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.

93:20 Numquid adhǽret tibi sedes iniquitátis: * qui fingis labórem in præcépto?

93:21 Captábunt in ánimam justi: * et sánguinem innocéntem condemnábunt.

93:22 Et factus est mihi Dóminus in refúgium: * et Deus meus in adjutórium spei meæ.

93:23 Et reddet illis iniquitátem ipsórum: et in malítia eórum dispérdet eos: * dispérdet illos Dóminus, Deus noster.

107:4 Confitébor tibi in pópulis, Dómine: * et psallam tibi in natiónibus.

107:5 Quia magna est super cælos misericórdia tua: * et usque ad nubes véritas tua:

107:6 Exaltáre super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram glória tua: * ut liberéntur dilécti tui.

107:7 Salvum fac déxtera tua, et exáudi me: * Deus locútus est in sancto suo:

107:8 Exsultábo, et dívidam Síchimam, * et convállem tabernaculórum dimétiar.

107:9 Meus est Gálaad, et meus est Manásses: * et Éphraim suscéptio cápitis mei.

107:10 Juda rex meus: * Moab lebes spei meæ.

107:10 In Idumǽam exténdam calceaméntum meum: * mihi alienígenæ amíci facti sunt.

107:11 Quis dedúcet me in civitátem munítam? * quis dedúcet me usque in Idumǽam?

107:12 Nonne tu, Deus, qui repulísti nos, * et non exíbis, Deus, in virtútibus nostris?

107:13 Da nobis auxílium de tribulatióne: * quia vana salus hóminis.

Ant. Exaltáre, Dómine, qui júdicas terram: redde retributiónem supérbis.

Ant. Be exalted, O Lord, * you who judge the earth: render retribution to the proud.

Psalm 93(1-11) [1]

93:1 The Lord is the God of retribution. * The God of retribution acts in order to deliver.

93:2 Lift yourself up, for you judge the earth. * Repay the arrogant with retribution.

93:3 How long will sinners, O Lord, * how long will sinners glory?

93:4 How long will they utter and speak iniquity? * How long will all who work injustice speak out?

93:5 They have humiliated your people, O Lord, * and they have harassed your inheritance.

93:6 They have executed the widow and the new arrival, * and they have slaughtered the orphan.

93:7 And they have said, “The Lord will not see, * nor will the God of Jacob understand.”

93:8 Understand, you senseless ones among the people. * And be wise at last, you foolish ones.

93:9 He who formed the ear, will he not hear? * And he who forged the eye, does he not look closely?

93:10 He who chastises nations, * he who teaches man knowledge, will he not rebuke?

93:11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men: * that these are in vain.

℣ 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.

Psalm 93(12-23) [2]

93:12 Blessed is the man whom you will instruct, O Lord. * And you will teach him from your law.

93:13 So may you soothe him from the evil days, * until a pit may be dug for sinners.

93:14 For the Lord will not drive away his people, * and he will not abandon his inheritance,

93:15 even until the time when justice is being converted into judgment, * and when those who are close to justice are all those who are upright of heart.

93:16 Who will rise up with me against the malignant? * Or who will stand with me against the workers of iniquity?

93:17 Except that the Lord assisted me, * my soul almost would have dwelt in Hell.

93:18 If ever I said, “My foot is slipping,” * then your mercy, O Lord, assisted me.

93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * your consolations have given joy to my soul.

93:20 Does the seat of iniquity adhere to you, * you who contrive hardship within a commandment?

93:21 They will hunt down the soul of the just, * and they will condemn innocent blood.

93:22 And the Lord has been made into a refuge for me, * and my God into the assistance of my hope.

93:23 And he will repay them their iniquity, and he will destroy them in their malice. * The Lord our God will utterly destroy them.

℣ 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.

Psalm 107 [3]

107:2 My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. * I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.

107:3 Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. * I will arise in early morning.

107:4 I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. * And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.

107:5 For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, * and your truth, even to the clouds.

107:6 Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth, * so that your beloved may be freed.

107:7 Save with your right hand, and heed me. * God has spoken in his holiness.

107:8 I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, * and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.

107:9 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, * and Ephraim is the supporter of my head.

107:10 Judah is my king. * Moab is the cooking pot of my hope.

107:10 I will extend my shoe in Idumea; * the foreigners have become my friends.

107:11 Who will lead me into the fortified city? * Who will lead me, even into Idumea?

107:12 Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? * And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?

107:13 Grant us help from tribulation, * for vain is the help of man.

107:14 In God, we will act virtuously, * and he will bring our enemies to nothing.

℣ 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.

The Twenty-Fourth of September. The fourth day of the moon. In the year of our Lord 2028.

Commemoration of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy, Foundress of the Order of Redemption of Captives under her name, whose Apparition is recorded on the Tenth of August.

At Brescia, the burial of Saint Anathalon, Bishop, who, as a disciple of the blessed Apostle Barnabas, succeeded him as Bishop of the Church of Milan.

In Pannonia, Saint Gerard, Bishop of the see of Morisena and Martyr, called the Apostle of the Hungarians, a Venetian nobleman; who, while traveling from the town of Csanád to Székesfehérvár, was attacked by unbelievers near the river Danube, overwhelmed with stones and finally pierced through with a lance, and thus was the first to glorify his homeland with a noble martyrdom.

At Autun, the heavenly birthday of the holy Martyrs Andochius, Priest, Thyrsus, Deacon, and Felix. These, sent from the East by the blessed Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, to preach the faith in Gaul, were there most harshly beaten with scourges, hung for a whole day with their hands turned behind them, and cast into the fire, yet were not burned; at last their necks were struck with clubs, and thus they were most gloriously crowned as Martyrs.

In Egypt, the passion of the holy Martyrs Paphnutius and his Companions. He, while living in solitude, hearing that many Christians were held in chains, moved by the divine Spirit, spontaneously presented himself to the prefect and freely professed the Christian faith; by whom he was first bound with iron chains and tortured for a very long time on the rack, then sent with many others to Diocletian, by whose command he was nailed to a palm tree, while the rest were put to death by the sword.

At Chalcedon, the holy Forty-Nine Martyrs, who, after the martyrdom of Saint Euphemia, under the Emperor Diocletian, were condemned to the beasts, and, when by divine power they escaped unharmed from them, were at last struck by the sword and passed into heaven.

At Clermont, in Gaul, the burial of Saint Rusticus, Bishop and Confessor.

At Flaviac, in the territory of Beauvais, Saint Geremarus, Priest and Abbot.

At Septempeda, in Picenum, the burial of Saint Pacificus, Priest of the Order of Friars Minor and Confessor, a man of outstanding patience and renowned for his love of solitude, whom Pope Gregory XVI enrolled in the canon of the Saints.

℣ And elsewhere of many other holy Martyrs and Confessors, and holy Virgins.

℟ Thanks be to God.

℣ Precious in the sight of the Lord.

℟ The death of his Saints.

May holy Mary and all the Saints intercede for us to the Lord, that we may merit to be helped and saved by him, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

℟ Amen.
