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.

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.

2:11 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.

De Epístola beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Colossénses

Col 3:1-7

1 Si consurrexístis cum Christo: quæ sursum sunt quǽrite, ubi Christus est in déxtera Dei sedens:
2 quæ sursum sunt sápite, non quæ super terram.
3 Mórtui enim estis, et vita vestra est abscóndita cum Christo in Deo.
4 Cum Christus apparúerit, vita vestra: tunc et vos apparébitis cum ipso in glória.
5 Mortificáte ergo membra vestra, quæ sunt super terram: fornicatiónem, immundítiam, libídinem, concupiscéntiam malam, et avarítiam, quæ est simulacrórum sérvitus:
6 propter quæ venit ira Dei super fílios incredulitátis:
7 in quibus et vos ambulástis aliquándo, cum viverétis in illis.

1 Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
2 Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.
3 For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols,
6 the wrath of God has overwhelmed the sons of unbelief.
7 You, too, walked in these things, in times past, when you were living among them.

℟ 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.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Col 3:8-13

8 Nunc autem depónite et vos ómnia: iram, indignatiónem, malítiam, blasphémiam, turpem sermónem de ore vestro.
9 Nolíte mentíri ínvicem, expoliántes vos véterem hóminem cum áctibus suis,
10 et induéntes novum eum, qui renovátur in agnitiónem secúndum imáginem eius qui creávit illum:
11 ubi non est gentílis et Iudǽus, circumcísio et præpútium, Bárbarus et Scytha, servus et liber: sed ómnia, et in ómnibus Christus.
12 Indúite vos ergo, sicut elécti Dei, sancti, et dilécti, víscera misericórdiæ, benignitátem, humilitátem, modéstiam, patiéntiam:
13 supportántes ínvicem, et donántes vobismetípsis si quis advérsus áliquem habet querélam: sicut et Dóminus donávit vobis, ita et vos.

8 But now you must set aside all these things: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and indecent speech from your mouth.
9 Do not lie to one another. Strip yourselves of the old man, with his deeds,
10 and clothe yourself with the new man, who has been renewed by knowledge, in accord with the image of the One who created him,
11 where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, servant nor free. Instead, Christ is everything, in everyone.
12 Therefore, clothe yourselves like the elect of God: holy and beloved, with hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, modesty, and patience.
13 Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do.

℟ Angelus Dómini locútus est muliéribus, dicens: Quem quǽritis? an Iesum quǽritis? Iam surréxit:

℟ The Angel of the Lord spoke to the women, saying: Whom do you seek? Do you seek Jesus? He has risen:

Veníte, et vidéte, allelúia, allelúia.

Come, and see, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Iesum quǽritis Nazarénum crucifíxum? Surréxit, non est hic.

℣ You seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified? He is risen, he is not here.

℟ Veníte, et vidéte, allelúia, allelúia.

℟ Come, and see, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Col 3:14-17

14 Super ómnia autem hæc, caritátem habéte, quod est vínculum perfectiónis:
15 et pax Christi exsúltet in córdibus vestris, in qua et vocáti estis in uno córpore: et grati estóte.
16 Verbum Christi hábitet in vobis abundánter, in omni sapiéntia, docéntes, et commonéntes vosmetípsos, psalmis, hymnis, et cánticis spirituálibus, in grátia cantántes in córdibus vestris Deo.
17 Omne, quodcúmque fácitis in verbo aut in ópere, ómnia in nómine Dómini Iesu Christi, grátias agéntes Deo et Patri per ipsum.

14 And above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the peace of Christ lift up your hearts. For in this peace, you have been called, as one body. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ live in you in abundance, with all wisdom, teaching and correcting one another, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing to God with the grace in your hearts.
17 Let everything whatsoever that you do, whether in word or in deed, be done all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

9:3 I will rejoice and exult in you: * I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High.
9:4 When my enemy is turned back: * they will be weakened and perish before your face.
9:5 For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause: * you have sat upon the throne that judges justice.
9:6 You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished: * you have deleted their name in eternity, and forever and ever.
9:7a The spears of the enemy have failed in the end: * and their cities you have destroyed.
9:7b Their memory has perished with a sound: * (8a) and the Lord remains in eternity.
9:8b He has prepared his throne in judgment: * (9) and he himself will judge the world in equity, he will judge the peoples in justice.
9:10 And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor: * a helper in opportunity, in tribulation.

9:14 Miserére mei, Dómine: * vide humilitátem meam de inimícis meis.
9:15 Qui exáltas me de portis mortis, * ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion.

9:16b In láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
9:17 Cognoscétur Dóminus iudícia fáciens: * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
9:18 Convertántur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes gentes quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
9:19 Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis: * patiéntia páuperum non períbit in finem.

9:15 You lift me up from the gates of death, * so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
9:16a I will exult in your salvation: * the Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made.
9:16b In this snare of theirs, which they have hidden, * the foot of them has been caught.
9:17 The Lord will be recognized when making judgments: * the sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands.
9:18 The sinners will be turned into Hell, * all the Gentiles who have forgotten God.
9:19 For the poor will not be forgotten in the end: * the patience of the poor will not perish in the end.

Sermo sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Sermon of Saint Augustine, Bishop

Sermo 1 in Octava Paschæ, qui est 157 de Tempore

Paschális solémnitas hodiérna festivitáte conclúditur, et ídeo hódie Neophytórum hábitus commutátur: ita tamen, ut candor, qui de hábitu depónitur, semper in corde teneátur. In qua quidem primum nobis agéndum est, ut quia pascháles dies sunt, id est, indulgéntiæ ac remissiónis, ita a nobis sanctórum diérum festívitas agátur, ut relaxatióne córporum púritas non obfuscétur: sed pótius abstinéntes ab omni luxu, ebrietáte, lascívia, demus óperam sóbriæ remissióni, ac sanctæ sinceritáti: ut, quidquid modo corporáli abstinéntia non acquírimus, méntium puritáte quærámus.

The Paschal solemnity is concluded with today's feast, and therefore today the vesture of the Neophytes is changed: yet in such a way that the whiteness which is put off from the vesture may always be kept in the heart. In which first of all we must act, so that since these are Paschal days, that is, of indulgence and remission, the festivity of the holy days may be kept by us in such a way that by the relaxation of our bodies the purity may not be obscured: but rather, abstaining from all excess, drunkenness, and licentiousness, let us apply ourselves to sober relaxation and holy sincerity: so that whatever we do not now obtain by bodily abstinence, we may seek through purity of minds.

℟ María Magdaléne, et áltera María ibant dilúculo ad monuméntum:

℟ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came at dawn to the tomb:

Iesum quem quǽritis, non est hic, surréxit sicut locútus est, præcédet vos in Galilǽam, ibi eum vidébitis, allelúia, allelúia.

Jesus whom you seek is not here; he has risen as he said; he will go before you into Galilee, there you will see him, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Et valde mane una sabbatórum véniunt ad monuméntum, orto iam sole: et introëúntes vidérunt iúvenem sedéntem in dextris, qui dixit illis.

℣ And very early on the first day of the week they come to the tomb, the sun having already risen: and entering, they saw a young man sitting on the right, who said to them.

℟ Iesum quem quǽritis, non est hic, surréxit sicut locútus est, præcédet vos in Galilǽam, ibi eum vidébitis, allelúia, allelúia.

℟ Jesus whom you seek is not here; he has risen as he said; he will go before you into Galilee, there you will see him, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.

Benedictio. May Christ grant us the joys of eternal life.

Ad omnes quidem pértinet sermo, quos cura nostra compléctitur: verúmtamen hódie termináta sacramentórum solemnitáte, vos allóquimur, novélla gérmina sanctitátis, regeneráta ex aqua et Spíritu Sancto: germen pium, exámen novéllum, flos nostri honóris, et fructus labóris, gáudium et coróna mea, omnes qui statis in Dómino. Apostólicis verbis vos álloquor: Ecce nox præcéssit, dies autem appropinquávit: abiícite ópera tenebrárum, et indúite vos arma lucis. Sicut in die honéste ambulémus: non in comessatiónibus et ebrietátibus, non in cubílibus et impudicítiis, non in contentióne et æmulatióne: sed induímini Dóminum Iesum Christum.

Indeed, this discourse pertains to all whom our care embraces: yet today, the solemnity of the sacraments being completed, we address you, tender shoots of holiness, reborn of water and the Holy Spirit: a devout offshoot, a new swarm, the flower of our honor and the fruit of our labor, my joy and my crown, all of you who stand in the Lord. I address you in apostolic words: Behold, the night is past, and the day has drawn near; cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in revelries and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and immorality, not in strife and envy; but put on the Lord Jesus Christ.

℟ Surréxit pastor bonus, qui ánimam suam pósuit pro óvibus suis, et pro grege suo mori dignátus est:

℟ The good shepherd has risen, who laid down his life for his sheep, and was pleased to die for his flock:

Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.

Habémus, inquit, certiórem prophéticum sermónem: cui bene fácitis intendéntes tamquam lucérnæ in obscúro loco, donec dies lucéscat, et lúcifer oriátur in córdibus vestris. Sint ergo lumbi vestri accíncti, et lucérnæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris: et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis. Ecce dies advéniunt, in quibus Dóminus dicit: Pusíllum, inquit, et non vidébitis me, et íterum pusíllum, et vidébitis me. Hæc est hora, de qua dixit: Vos tristes éritis, sǽculum autem gaudébit: id est, vita ista tentatiónibus plena, in qua peregrinámur ab eo. Sed íterum, inquit, vidébo vos, et gaudébit cor vestrum, et gáudium vestrum nemo tollet a vobis.

We have, he says, a more certain prophetic word, to which you do well to attend as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Let your loins therefore be girded, and your lamps burning in your hands; and be yourselves like men awaiting their master, when he returns from the wedding feast. Behold, the days are coming, in which the Lord says: A little while, he says, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me. This is the hour of which he said: You will be sorrowful, but the world will rejoice — that is, this present life full of temptations, in which we journey as strangers from him. But again, he says, I will see you, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

℟ Virtúte magna reddébant Apóstoli,

℟ With great power the Apostles gave witness,

Testimónium resurrectiónis Iesu Christi Dómini nostri, allelúia, allelúia.

Psalmus 9(22-32)

Psalm 9(22-32)

9:22 Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe, * déspicis in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?
9:23 Dum supérbit ímpius, incénditur pauper: * comprehendúntur in consíliis quibus cógitant.
9:24 Quóniam laudátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ: * et iníquus benedícitur.
9:25 Exacerbávit Dóminum peccátor, * secúndum multitúdinem iræ suæ non quæret.
9:26a Non est Deus in conspéctu eius: * inquinátæ sunt viæ illíus in omni témpore.
9:26b Auferúntur iudícia tua a fácie eius: * ómnium inimicórum suórum dominábitur.
9:27 Dixit enim in corde suo: * Non movébor a generatióne in generatiónem sine malo.
9:28 Cuius maledictióne os plenum est, et amaritúdine, et dolo: * sub lingua eius labor et dolor.
9:29 Sedet in insídiis cum divítibus in occúltis: * ut interfíciat innocéntem.
9:30a Óculi eius in páuperem respíciunt: * insidiátur in abscóndito, quasi leo in spelúnca sua.
9:30b Insidiátur ut rápiat páuperem: * rápere páuperem, dum áttrahit eum.
9:31 In láqueo suo humiliábit eum: * inclinábit se, et cadet, cum dominátus fúerit páuperum.
9:32 Dixit enim in corde suo: Oblítus est Deus, * avértit fáciem suam ne vídeat in finem.

9:22 So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away, * have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
9:23 While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed: * they are held by the counsels that they devise.
9:24 For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul: * and the iniquitous one is blessed.
9:25 The sinner has provoked the Lord, * according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
9:26a God is not before his sight: * his ways are stained at all times.
9:26b Your judgments are removed from his face: * he will be master of all his enemies.
9:27 For he has said in his heart: * I will not be disturbed, from generation to generation without evil.
9:28 His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit: * under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
9:29 He sits in ambush with resources in hidden places: * so that he may execute the innocent.
9:30a His eyes catch sight of the poor: * he lies in ambush in hiding, like a lion in his den.
9:30b He lies in ambush so that he may seize the poor: * to seize the poor as he draws him in.
9:31 With his snare he will bring him down: * he will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
9:32 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten, * he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

9:35a Vides quóniam tu labórem et dolórem consíderas: * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
9:35b Tibi derelíctus est pauper: * órphano tu eris adiútor.
9:36 Cóntere brácchium peccatóris et malígni: * quærétur peccátum illíus, et non inveniétur.
9:37 Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum, et in sǽculum sǽculi: * períbitis, gentes, de terra illíus.
9:38 Desidérium páuperum exaudívit Dóminus: * præparatiónem cordis eórum audívit auris tua.
9:39 Iudicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra magnificáre se homo super terram.

9:33 Rise up, O Lord God, let your hand be exalted: * do not forget the poor.
9:34 How has the impious one provoked God? * for he has said in his heart, He will not inquire.
9:35a You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow: * so that you may deliver them into your hands.
9:35b The poor one has been abandoned to you: * you will be a helper to the orphan.
9:36 Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious: * his sin will be sought, and it will not be found.
9:37 The Lord shall reign in eternity, and forever and ever: * you will perish from his land, O Gentiles.
9:38 The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor: * your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,
9:39 so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, * so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

10:8 Quóniam iustus Dóminus, et iustítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus eius.

10:2 I trust in the Lord: how can you say to my soul, * Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow?
10:3 For behold, the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, * so as to shoot arrows in the dark at the upright of heart.
10:4 For they have destroyed the things that you have completed: * but what has the just one done?
10:5a The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord's throne is in heaven.
10:5b His eyes look upon the poor: * his eyelids question the sons of men.
10:6 The Lord questions the just and the impious: * yet he who loves iniquity hates his own soul.
10:7 He will rain down snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone and windstorms will be the portion of their cup.
10:8 For the Lord is just, and he has chosen justice: * his countenance has beheld equity.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

A Reading from the holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 20:19-31

In illo témpore: Cum sero esset die illo, una sabbatórum, et fores essent clausæ, ubi erant discípuli congregáti propter metum Iudæórum: venit Iesus, et stetit in médio, et dixit eis: Pax vobis. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

At that time: When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples had gathered for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them: Peace be with you. And so forth.

A Homily of Saint Gregory the Pope

Homilia 26 in Evangelia

Prima lectiónis huius evangélicæ quǽstio ánimum pulsat: quómodo post resurrectiónem corpus Domínicum verum fuit, quod clausis iánuis ad discípulos íngredi pótuit? Sed sciéndum nobis est, quod divína operátio, si ratióne comprehénditur, non est admirábilis: nec fides habet méritum, cui humána rátio præbet experiméntum. Sed hæc ipsa nostri Redemptóris ópera, quæ ex semetípsis comprehéndi nequáquam possunt, ex ália eius operatióne pensánda sunt: ut rebus mirabílibus fidem prǽbeant facta mirabilióra. Illud enim corpus Dómini intrávit ad discípulos iánuis clausis, quod vidélicet ad humános óculos per nativitátem suam clauso exívit útero Vírginis. Quid ergo mirum, si clausis iánuis post resurrectiónem suam in ætérnum iam victúrus intrávit, qui moritúrus véniens, non apérto útero Vírginis exívit?

The first question of this Gospel reading strikes the mind: how after the Resurrection was the Lord's body truly a real body, if it was able to enter through closed doors to the disciples? But we must understand that a divine work, if it is grasped by reason, is not admirable; nor does faith have merit when human reason provides the proof. But these very works of our Redeemer, which can in no way be comprehended by themselves, must be weighed against another of his works, so that more wonderful deeds may lend credence to the wondrous things. For that same body of the Lord entered through closed doors to the disciples, which had visibly departed, to human eyes, through the closed womb of the Virgin at his birth. What wonder is it, then, if through closed doors after his Resurrection he entered — he who was henceforth to live forever — who, when coming to die, had gone forth without opening the womb of the Virgin?

℟ De ore prudéntis procédit mel, allelúia: dulcédo mellis est sub língua eius, allelúia:

℟ From the mouth of the wise man honey flows forth, alleluia: the sweetness of honey is under his tongue, alleluia:

Favus distíllans lábia eius, allelúia, allelúia.

His lips are a dripping honeycomb, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Sapiéntia requiéscit in corde eius, et prudéntia in sermóne oris illíus.

℣ Wisdom rests in his heart, and prudence is in the word of his mouth.

℟ Favus distíllans lábia eius, allelúia, allelúia.

℟ His lips are a dripping honeycomb, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Sed quia ad illud corpus, quod vidéri póterat, fides intuéntium dubitábat: osténdit eis prótinus manus et latus, palpándam carnem prǽbuit, quam clausis iánuis introdúxit. Qua in re duo mira, et iuxta humánam ratiónem sibi valde contrária osténdit: dum post resurrectiónem suam corpus suum incorruptíbile, et tamen palpábile demonstrávit. Nam et corrúmpi necésse est quod palpátur: et palpári non potest quod non corrúmpitur. Sed miro modo atque inæstimábili Redémptor noster et incorruptíbile post resurrectiónem, et palpábile corpus exhíbuit: ut monstrándo incorruptíbile, invitáret ad prǽmium, et præbéndo palpábile, firmáret ad fidem. Et incorruptíbilem se ergo, et palpábilem demonstrávit: ut profécto esse post resurrectiónem osténderet corpus suum et eiúsdem natúræ, et altérius glóriæ.

But because faith doubted concerning that body which could be seen, he showed them at once his hands and side, offered the flesh to be touched, which he had brought in through closed doors. In this he showed two marvels, very contrary to each other according to human reason: for after his Resurrection he showed his body to be incorruptible, and yet palpable. For that which is touched is necessarily subject to corruption: and that which is not subject to corruption cannot be touched. But in a wonderful and inestimable manner our Redeemer after the Resurrection showed his body both incorruptible and palpable: that by showing it incorruptible, he might invite to the reward, and by offering it palpable, he might strengthen faith. He showed himself, therefore, both incorruptible and palpable: so as manifestly to show that after the Resurrection his body was of the same nature and yet of a different glory.

℟ Surgens Iesus Dóminus noster, stans in médio discipulórum suórum, dixit:

℟ Rising, our Lord Jesus, standing in the midst of his disciples, said:

Pax vobis, allelúia: gavísi sunt discípuli viso Dómino, allelúia.

Peace be with you, alleluia: the disciples rejoiced at the sight of the Lord, alleluia.

℣ Una ergo sabbatórum, cum fores essent clausæ, ubi erant discípuli congregáti, venit Iesus, et stetit in medio eórum, et dixit eis.

Dixit eis: Pax vobis. Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos: id est, sicut misit me Pater Deus Deum, et ego mitto vos homo hómines. Pater Fílium misit, qui hunc pro redemptióne géneris humáni incarnári constítuit. Quem vidélicet in mundum veníre ad passiónem vóluit: sed tamen amávit Fílium, quem ad passiónem misit. Eléctos vero Apóstolos Dóminus non ad mundi gáudia, sed sicut ipse missus est, ad passiónes in mundum mittit. Quia ergo et Fílius amátur a Patre, et tamen ad passiónem míttitur: ita et discípuli a Dómino amántur, qui tamen ad passiónem mittúntur in mundum. Itaque recte dícitur: Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos: id est, ea vos caritáte díligo, cum inter scándala persecutórum mitto, qua me caritáte Pater díligit, quem veníre ad tolerándas passiónes fecit.

He said to them: "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you" — that is, as God the Father sent me who am God, so I who am man send you who are men. The Father sent the Son, who ordained that he should be incarnate for the redemption of the human race. He willed him indeed to come into the world to suffer Passion; yet he loved the Son whom he sent to Passion. The Lord, however, sends the chosen Apostles into the world not for the joys of the world, but, just as he himself was sent, to sufferings. Therefore, since the Son is both loved by the Father and yet sent to Passion, so the disciples are loved by the Lord and yet sent into the world for Passion. Therefore it is rightly said: "As the Father has sent me, so I send you" — that is, I love you with the same charity with which I send you amid the scandals of persecutors, as the Father loves me with that charity by which he made me come to endure sufferings.

(Brethren, when they begin 'Te ergo quaesumus,' departing from the Stalls, let them reverently bow at the words 'Quos pretioso' and the rest)

In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.
