Hymnus
Rex sempitérne Cǽlitum,
Rerum Creátor ómnium,
Æquális ante sǽcula
Semper Parénti Fílius:
Nascénte qui mundo Faber
Imáginem vultus tui
Tradens Adámo, nóbilem
Limo iugásti spíritum.
Cum livor et fraus dǽmonis
Fœdásset humánum genus:
Tu, carne amíctus, pérditam
Formam refórmas ártifex.
Qui, natus olim e Vírgine,
Nunc e sepúlcro násceris,
Tecúmque nos a mórtuis
Iubes sepúltos súrgere.
Qui, pastor ætérnus, gregem
Aqua lavas baptísmatis:
Hæc est lavácrum méntium:
Hæc est sepúlcrum críminum.
Nobis diu qui débitæ
Redémptor affíxus cruci,
Nostræ dedísti pródigus
Prétium salútis sánguinem.
Ut sis perénne méntibus
Paschále, Iesu, gáudium,
A morte dira críminum
Vitæ renátos líbera.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
O thou, the heavens' eternal King,
Creator, unto thee we sing,
With God the Father ever One,
Co-equal, co-eternal Son.
Thy hand, when first the world began,
Made in thine own pure image man,
And linked to Adam, sprung from earth,
A living soul of heavenly birth.
And when by craft the envious foe
Had marred thy noblest work below,
Clothed in our flesh, thou didst restore
The image thou hadst made before.
Once wast thou born of Mary's womb;
And now, new-born from out the tomb,
O Christ, thou bidd'st us rise with thee
From death to immortality.
Eternal Shepherd, thou dost lave
Thy flock in pure baptismal wave,
That mystic bath, that grave of sin,
Where ransomed souls new life begin.
Redeemer, thou for us didst deign
To hang upon the Cross of pain,
And give for us the lavish price
Of thine own blood in sacrifice.
Grant, Lord, in thee each faithful mind
Unceasing paschal joy may find;
And from the death of sin set free
Souls newly born to life by thee.
To thee, once dead, who now dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Ghost forevermore.
Amen.

Psalmus 1
Psalm 1
1:1 Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, † et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
1:2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas eius, * et in lege eius meditábitur die ac nocte.
1:3a Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
1:3b Et fólium eius non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
1:4 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem próicit ventus a fácie terræ.
1:5 Ídeo non resúrgent ímpii in iudício: * neque peccatóres in concílio iustórum.
1:6 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam iustórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
1:1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, * and has not sat in the chair of pestilence:
1:2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, * and he will meditate on his law, day and night.
1:3a And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, * which will provide its fruit in its time:
1:3b And its leaf will not fall away: * and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.
1:4 Not so the impious, not so: * but they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.
1:5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
1:6 For the Lord knows the way of the just: * and the path of the impious will pass away.

Psalmus 2
Psalm 2
2:1 Quare fremuérunt gentes: * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2:2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum eius.
2:3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et proiciámus a nobis iugum ipsórum.
2:4 Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
2:5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
2:6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum eius, * prǽdicans præcéptum eius.
2:7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
2:8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hereditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
2:9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
2:10 Et nunc, reges, intellégite: * erudímini, qui iudicátis terram.
2:11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
2:12 Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via iusta.
2:13 Cum exárserit in brevi ira eius: * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
2:1 Why have the Gentiles been seething: * and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2:2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one * against the Lord, and against his Christ:
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: * be instructed, you who judge the earth.
2:11 Serve the Lord in fear: * and rejoice before him with trembling.
2:12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
2:13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time: * blessed are all who trust in him.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

3:3 Many say of my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
3:4 But you, O Lord, are my sustainer, * my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
3:5 With my voice I cried out to the Lord: * and he heard me from his holy mountain.
3:6 I slept, and took my rest: * and I arose, for the Lord sustained me.
3:7 I will not fear thousands of people surrounding me: * arise, O Lord, save me, O my God.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Marcum
A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.
Marc 16:1-7
Marc 16:1-7
In illo témpore: María Magdaléne, et María Iacóbi, et Salóme emérunt arómata, ut veniéntes úngerent Iesum. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ
At that time: Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices, so that when they arrived they could anoint Jesus. Etc.
A Homily of Saint Gregory the Pope
Homilia 21 in Evangelia
Homilia 21 in Evangelia
Audístis, fratres caríssimi, quod sanctæ mulíeres, quæ Dóminum fúerant secútæ, cum aromátibus ad monuméntum venérunt, et ei, quem vivéntem diléxerant, étiam mórtuo, stúdio humanitátis obsequúntur. Sed res gesta áliquid in sancta Ecclésia signat geréndum. Sic quippe necésse est ut audiámus quæ facta sunt, quátenus cogitémus étiam quæ nobis sint ex eórum imitatióne faciénda. Et nos ergo in eum, qui est mórtuus, credéntes, si odóre virtútum reférti, cum opinióne bonórum óperum Dóminum quǽrimus, ad monuméntum profécto illíus cum aromátibus venímus. Illæ autem mulíeres Angelos vident, quæ cum aromátibus venérunt: quia vidélicet illæ mentes supérnos cives aspíciunt, quæ cum virtútum odóribus ad Dóminum per sancta desidéria proficiscúntur.
You have heard, dearly beloved brethren, that the holy women who had followed the Lord came to the tomb with spices, and paid the homage of their loving care to him whom they had loved while living, even after death. But this deed signifies something to be done in the holy Church. For it is necessary that we hear what was done, in order that we may also consider what we, in imitation of these things, are to do. We therefore, believing in him who has died, if we come to the tomb with the fragrance of virtues, seeking the Lord with the repute of good works, truly come to his tomb with spices. Now those women who came with spices see Angels; because those minds behold the citizens of heaven who set out toward the Lord through holy desires with the fragrance of virtues.
℟ Angelus Dómini descéndit de cælo, et accédens revólvit lápidem, et super eum sedit, et dixit muliéribus:
℟ The Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming near rolled back the stone and sat upon it, and said to the women:
Nolíte timére: scio enim quia crucifíxum quǽritis: iam surréxit: veníte, et vidéte locum, ubi pósitus erat Dóminus, allelúia.
Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified: he has risen: come, and see the place where the Lord was laid, alleluia.
℣ Et introëúntes in monuméntum, vidérunt iúvenem sedéntem in dextris, coopértum stola cándida, et obstupuérunt: qui dixit illis.
℣ And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed: and he said to them.
℟ Nolíte timére: scio enim quia crucifíxum quǽritis: iam surréxit: veníte, et vidéte locum, ubi pósitus erat Dóminus, allelúia.
℟ Do not be afraid: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified: he has risen: come, and see the place where the Lord was laid, alleluia.

Notándum vero nobis est, quidnam sit, quod in dextris sedére Angelus cérnitur. Quid namque per sinístram, nisi vita præsens: quid vero per déxteram, nisi perpétua vita designátur? Unde in Cánticis canticórum scriptum est: Læva eius sub cápite meo, et déxtera illíus amplexábitur me. Quia ergo Redémptor noster iam præséntis vitæ corruptiónem transíerat, recte Angelus qui nuntiáre perénnem eius vitam vénerat, in déxtera sedébat. Qui stola cándida coopértus appáruit: quia festivitátis nostræ gáudia nuntiávit. Candor étenim vestis, splendórem nostræ denúntiat solemnitátis. Nostræ dicámus, an suæ? Sed ut fateámur vérius, et suæ dicámus, et nostræ. Illa quippe Redemptóris nostri resurréctio et nostra festívitas fuit, quia nos ad immortalitátem redúxit: et Angelórum festívitas éxstitit, quia nos revocándo ad cæléstia, eórum númerum implévit.

9 And he said: Call his name, Not My People, for you are not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 And the number of the sons of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which is without measure and cannot be numbered. And in the place where it is said to them, You are not my people, it shall be said to them, Sons of the living God.
11 And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together; and they shall appoint for themselves one head, and they shall go up from the land, for great is the day of Jezreel.

In sua ergo ac nostra festivitáte Angelus in albis véstibus appáruit: quia dum nos per resurrectiónem Domínicam ad supérna redúcimur, cæléstis pátriæ damna reparántur. Sed quid adveniéntes féminas affátur, audiámus: Nolíte expavéscere. Ac si apérte dicat, Páveant illi, qui non amant advéntum supernórum cívium: pertiméscant, qui carnálibus desidériis pressi, ad eórum se societátem pertíngere posse despérant. Vos autem, cur pertiméscitis, quæ vestros concíves vidétis? Unde et Matthǽus Angelum apparuísse descríbens, ait: Erat aspéctus eius sicut fulgur, et vestiménta eius sicut nix. In fúlgure étenim terror timóris est, in nive autem blandiméntum candóris.
Therefore, at his own and our festival, the Angel appeared in white garments: for when we are led back to higher things through the Lord's Resurrection, the losses of the heavenly homeland are repaired. But let us hear what he says to the women as they approach: Do not be afraid. As if he were saying plainly: Let those be afraid who do not love the coming of the heavenly citizens; let those tremble who, weighed down by carnal desires, despair of being able to attain fellowship with them. But you — why should you tremble, who behold your fellow citizens? And so Matthew, describing the Angel's appearance, says: His countenance was like lightning, and his garments like snow. For in lightning there is the terror of fear, but in snow the charm of whiteness.
