Hymnus
Iste Conféssor Dómini, coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit beátas
Scándere sedes.
Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cuius ob præstans méritum, frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim iacuére membra,
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem celebrésque palmas,
Ut piis eius précibus iuvémur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli sólio corúscans,
Tótius mundi sériem gubérnat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.
This Confessor of the Lord, whom the peoples
piously praise and celebrate throughout the world,
on this day merited joyfully
to ascend the blessed seats.
Who, devout, prudent, humble, and pure,
led a sober life without stain,
until the breath of the Spirit
gave life to his mortal limbs.
By whose outstanding merit, frequently,
sick members that lay here and there,
with the power of disease overcome,
are restored to health.
Our choir sings to him
its dutiful praise and celebrated palms,
that we may be aided by his devout prayers
through every age.
Let salvation, honor, and power be to him
who, shining upon the throne of heaven,
governs the order of the whole world,
Three and One.
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.

Psalm 2

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.

De Actibus Apostolórum
From the Acts of the Apostles
Act. 17:22-27
Act. 17:22-27
22 Stans autem Paulus in médio Areópagi, ait: Viri Atheniénses, per ómnia quasi superstitiosióres vos vídeo.
23 Prætériens enim, et videns simulácra vestra, invéni et aram in qua scriptum erat: Ignóto Deo. Quod ergo ignorántes cólitis, hoc ego annúntio vobis.
24 Deus, qui fecit mundum, et ómnia quæ in eo sunt, hic cæli et terræ cum sit Dóminus, non in manufáctis templis hábitat,
25 nec mánibus humánis cólitur índigens áliquo, cum ipse det ómnibus vitam, et inspiratiónem, et ómnia:
26 fecítque ex uno omne genus hóminum inhabitáre super univérsam fáciem terræ, defíniens statúta témpora, et términos habitatiónis eórum,
27 quǽrere Deum si forte attréctent eum, aut invéniant, quamvis non longe sit ab unoquóque nostrum.
22 Then Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: 'Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are rather superstitious.
23 For as I was passing by and noticing your idols, I also found an altar, on which was written: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this is what I am preaching to you:
24 the God who made the world and all that is in it, the One who is the Lord of heaven and earth, who does not live in temples made with hands,
25 neither is he served by the hands of men, as if in need of anything, since it is he who gives to all things life and breath and all else.
26 And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation,
27 so as to seek God, if perhaps they may consider him or find him, though he is not far from each one of us.'
℟ Ego sum vitis vera, et vos pálmites:
℟ I am the true vine, and you are the branches:
Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, allelúia, allelúia.
He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Sicut diléxit me Pater, et ego diléxi vos.
℣ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.
℟ Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, allelúia, allelúia.
℟ He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
℟ Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, allelúia, allelúia.
℟ He who abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benedictio. Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adiuváre dignétur.
Benedictio. May the Only Begotten Son of God be pleased to bless and assist us.

Act. 17:28-33
Act. 17:28-33
28 In ipso enim vívimus, et movémur, et sumus: sicut et quidam vestrórum poëtárum dixérunt: Ipsíus enim et genus sumus.
29 Genus ergo cum simus Dei, non debémus æstimáre auro, aut argénto, aut lápidi, sculptúræ artis, et cogitatiónis hóminis, divínum esse símile.
30 Et témpora quidem huius ignorántiæ despíciens Deus, nunc annúntiat homínibus ut omnes ubíque pœniténtiam agant,
31 eo quod státuit diem in quo iudicatúrus est orbem in æquitáte, in viro in quo státuit, fidem præbens ómnibus, súscitans eum a mórtuis.
32 Cum audíssent autem resurrectiónem mortuórum, quidam quidem irridébant, quidam vero dixérunt: Audiémus te de hoc íterum.
33 Sic Paulus exívit de médio eórum.
28 'For in him we live, and move, and exist.' Just as some of your own poets have said. 'For we are also of his family.'
29 Therefore, since we are of the family of God, we must not consider gold or silver or precious stones, or the engravings of art and of the imagination of man, to be a representation of what is Divine.
30 And indeed, God, having looked down to see the ignorance of these times, has now announced to men that everyone everywhere should do penance.
31 For he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in equity, through the man whom he has appointed, offering faith to all, by raising him from the dead.
32 And when they had heard about the Resurrection of the dead, indeed, some were derisive, while others said, 'We will listen to you about this again.'
33 So Paul departed from their midst.
℟ 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.
℣ On the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were gathered, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them.
℟ Pax vobis, allelúia: gavísi sunt discípuli viso Dómino, allelúia.
℟ Peace be with you, alleluia: the disciples rejoiced at the sight of the Lord, alleluia.
℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benedictio. Ad gáudia paradísi perdúcat nos misericórdia Christi.
Benedictio. May the mercy of Christ lead us to the joys of paradise.

Act. 17:34; 18:1-4
34 Quidam vero viri adhæréntes ei, credidérunt: in quibus et Dionýsius Areopagíta, et múlier nómine Dámaris, et álii cum eis.
1 Post hæc egréssus ab Athénis, venit Corínthum:
2 et invéniens quemdam Iudǽum nómine Aquilam, Pónticum génere, qui nuper vénerat ab Itália, et Priscíllam uxórem eius (eo quod præcepísset Cláudius discédere omnes Iudǽos a Roma), accéssit ad eos.
3 Et quia eiúsdem erat artis, manébat apud eos, et operabátur. (Erant autem scenofactóriæ artis.)
4 Et disputábat in synagóga per omne sábbatum, interpónens nomen Dómini Iesu: suadebátque Iudǽis et Græcis.
34 Yet truly, certain men, adhering to him, did believe. Among these were also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
1 After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at Corinth.
2 And upon finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all Jews to depart from Rome,) he met with them.
3 And because he was of the same trade, he lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)
4 And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.
℟ Expurgáte vetus ferméntum, ut sitis nova conspérsio: étenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus:
℟ Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump; for Christ our Pasch has been sacrificed:
Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúia.

Ansélmus, Augustæ Prætoriæ in finibus Itáliæ, Gundulpho et Ermemberga, nobílibus et catholicis parentibus natus, a teneris annis assiduo litterarum studio, atque perfectióris vitæ desiderio, non obscurum futuræ sanctitatis et doctrinæ specimen dedit. Et licet iuvenili ardore aliquando ad sæculi illecebras traheretur, brevi tamen in pristinam viam revocatus, patria et bonis omnibus derelictis, ad monasterium Beccense ordinis sancti Benedicti se contulit: ubi emissa regulari professione sub Herluino abbate observantissimo, et Lanfranco viro doctissimo, tanto animi fervore, et iugi studio in litteris et virtutibus assequendis profecit, ut mirum in modum tamquam sanctitatis et doctrinæ exemplar ab omnibus haberetur.
Anselm, born at Aosta on the borders of Italy of Gundulph and Ermemberga, noble and Catholic parents, from his tender years gave by his assiduous study of letters and desire for a more perfect life no obscure indication of his future holiness and learning. And although in youthful ardor he was at times drawn to the allurements of the world, yet soon called back to the right path, having left his homeland and all his goods, he betook himself to the monastery of Bec of the Order of Saint Benedict: where, having made his regular profession under the most observant Abbot Herluino, and under the most learned man Lanfranc, he made such progress with ardor of soul and unceasing study in the pursuit of letters and virtues that he was in a wonderful manner regarded by all as a model of holiness and learning.

Abstinentiæ et continentiæ tantæ fuit, ut assiduitate ieiunii omnis pene ciborum sensus in eo videretur exstinctus. Diurno enim tempore in exercitiis monasticis docendo, et respondendo variis de religione quæsitis, emenso, quod reliquum erat noctis, somno subtrahebat, ut divinis meditationibus, quas perenni lacrimarum imbre fovebat, mentem recrearet Electus in priorem monasterii invidos fratres ita caritate, humilitate, et prudentia lenivit, ut quos æmulos acceperat, sibi et Deo amicos, maximo cum regularis observantiæ emolumento redderet Mortuo abbate, et in eius locum (licet invitus) suffectus, tanta doctrinæ et sanctitatis fama ubique refulsit, ut non modo regibus et episcopis venerationi esset, sed sancto Gregorio septimo étiam acceptus, qui tunc magnis persecutionibus agitatus, litteras amoris plenas ad eum dedit, quibus se et Ecclesiam catholicam eius orationibus commendabat.
He was of such great abstinence and continence that, by the constancy of his fasting, all sense of food seemed to be almost extinguished in him. For having spent the daytime in monastic exercises, in teaching, and in answering various questions on religion, he took from the remainder of the night the sleep that was due, so as to refresh his mind with divine meditations, which he watered with a perpetual flood of tears. Elected prior of the monastery, he so won over the envious brethren by charity, humility, and prudence that those whom he had received as rivals he restored as friends to himself and to God, with the greatest benefit to regular observance. The abbot having died, and he himself — though unwilling — elected in his place, he shone everywhere with such fame for learning and holiness that not only kings and bishops held him in reverence, but also Saint Gregory VII held him dear; the latter, then assailed by great persecutions, sent him letters full of affection, commending himself and the Catholic Church to his prayers.
℟ 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.

Defuncto Lanfranco archiepiscopo Cantuariensi, eius olim præceptore, Anselmus, urgente Willelmo Angliæ rege, et instantibus clero ac populo, ipso tamen repugnante, ad eiusdem ecclesiæ regimen vocatus, statim (ut corruptos populi mores reformaret) verbo et exemplo prius, dein scriptis, et conciliis celebratis, pristinam pietatem, et ecclesiasticam disciplinam reduxit. Sed cum mox idem Willelmus rex vi et minis Ecclesiæ iura usurpare tentasset, ipse sacerdotali constantia restitit; bonorumque direptionem, et exsilium passus, Romam ad Urbanum secundum se contulit: a quo honorifice exceptus, et summis laudibus ornatus est, cum in Barensi concilio Spiritum Sanctum étiam a Filio procedentem contra Græcorum errorem innumeris Scripturarum, et sanctorum Patrum testimoniis propugnasset. E vivis Willelmo sublato, ab Henrico rege eius fratre in Angliam revocatus, obdormivit in Domino, famam non solum miraculorum, et sanctitatis (præcipue ob insignem devotionem erga Domini nostri passionem, et beatam Virginem eius Matrem) assecutus, sed étiam doctrinæ, quam ad defensionem christianæ religionis, animarum profectum, et omnium theologorum, qui sacras litteras scholastica methodo tradiderunt, normam cælitus hausisse ex eius libris omnibus apparet.
After the death of Lanfranc, archbishop of Canterbury, once his teacher, Anselmus — urged by William, king of England, and pressed by the clergy and people, though he himself resisted — was called to the governance of that same church. He immediately set about reforming the corrupt morals of the people, first by word and example, then by writings and councils held, and thus restored ancient piety and ecclesiastical discipline. But when the same King William soon attempted by force and threats to usurp the rights of the Church, he resisted with priestly constancy; and, having suffered the plundering of his goods and exile, he betook himself to Rome to Urban II, by whom he was honorably received and adorned with the highest praise, having in the Council of Bari defended with innumerable testimonies of Scripture and the holy Fathers the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Son as well, against the error of the Greeks. When William had died, he was recalled to England by King Henry his brother, and fell asleep in the Lord, having gained a reputation not only for miracles and holiness — especially on account of his outstanding devotion to the Passion of our Lord and to the Blessed Virgin his Mother — but also for learning, which it is clear from all his books he drew from heaven for the defense of the Christian religion, the advancement of souls, and the model of all theologians who have taught sacred Scripture by the scholastic method.
℟ Expurgáte vetus ferméntum, ut sitis nova conspérsio: étenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus:
℟ Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump; for Christ our Pasch has been sacrificed:
Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúia.
And so let us feast in the Lord, alleluia.

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanúerit, in quo saliétur? Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Hilárii Epíscopi
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? And so forth.
A Homily of Saint Hilary the Bishop
Comm. in Matthæum, cap. 4, n. 10
Comm. in Matthæum, cap. 4, n. 10
Vos estis sal terræ: Quod si sal infatuátum fúerit, ad níhilum valet id quod saliétur. Sal, ut árbitror, terræ nullum est. Quómodo ergo Apóstolos sal terræ nuncupávit? Sed propríetas est quærénda dictórum, quam et Apostolórum offícium, et ipsíus salis natúra monstrábit. Sal est in se uno cóntinens aquæ et ignis eleméntum, et hoc ex duóbus est unum.
You are the salt of the earth: But if the salt should become foolish, that which is to be salted is worth nothing. The salt of the earth, in my judgment, has none of its own. How then did he call the Apostles the salt of the earth? But the proper meaning of these words must be sought, which the office of the Apostles and the nature of salt itself will make clear. Salt contains in itself the two elements of water and fire combined into one, and this one thing is made of two.
℟ Christus resúrgens ex mórtuis, iam non móritur, mors illi ultra non dominábitur: quod enim mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel:
℟ 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:
Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo, allelúia, allelúia.
But in that he lives, he lives unto God, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Mórtuus est semel propter delícta nostra, et resurréxit propter iustificatiónem nostram.
℣ He died once for our offenses, and rose again for our justification.
℟ Quod autem vivit, vivit Deo, allelúia, allelúia.
℟ But in that he lives, he lives unto God, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
Benedictio. May the divine assistance remain always with us.

Hic ígitur in omnem usum humáni géneris efféctus, incorruptiónem corpóribus, quibus fúerit aspérsus, impértit, et ad omnem sensum cónditi sapóris aptíssimus est. Apóstoli autem sunt rerum cæléstium prædicatóres, et æternitátis velut satóres, immortalitátem ómnibus corpóribus, quibus eórum sermo aspérsus fúerit, conferéntes. Mérito ígitur sal terræ nuncupáti sunt, per doctrínæ virtútem saliéndi modo æternitáti córpora reservántes.
This salt, therefore, made for every use of the human race, bestows incorruptibility on the bodies upon which it is sprinkled, and is most suited to every taste of seasoned food. The Apostles, however, are the preachers of heavenly things and, as it were, sowers of eternity, conferring immortality on all bodies upon which their word has been sprinkled. Therefore they were fittingly called the salt of the earth — preserving bodies for eternity in the manner of salting through the power of their teaching.
℟ 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.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Etenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus.
℣ For indeed Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
℟ Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.
℟ Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
℟ Allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.
℟ Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
Benedictio. May the King of Angels lead us to the company of the citizens on high.

Sed natúra salis semper éadem est, nec immutári umquam potest. Verum quia conversióni homo súbiacet, et solus beátus, qui usque ad finem in ómnibus Dei opéribus permánserit: ídeo eos sal terræ nuncupátos monet in tráditæ sibi potestátis virtúte persístere, ne infatuáti nihil sáliant, et ipsi, sensu accépti sapóris amísso, vivificáre corrúpta non possint, et proiécti de Ecclésiæ promptuáriis, cum his quos salíerint, pédibus incedéntium proterántur.
But the nature of salt is always the same and can never be changed. But since man is subject to change, and blessed is he alone who has persevered in all the works of God to the end: for this reason those who are called the salt of the earth are warned to persevere in the power of the authority entrusted to them, lest, having become tasteless, they season nothing, and they themselves, having lost the sense of the savour received, cannot quicken what is corrupt, and, cast out of the storehouse of the Church, may be trodden underfoot by the feet of those who walk, together with those whom they had salted.

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