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.

Incipit liber Iob

Here begins the Book of Job

Iob 1:1-3

1 Vir erat in terra Hus nómine Iob, et erat vir ille simplex et rectus ac timens Deum et recédens a malo.
2 Natíque sunt ei septem fílii et tres fíliæ.
3 Et fuit posséssio eius septem míllia óvium et tria míllia camelórum, quingénta quoque iuga boum et quingéntæ ásinæ ac família multa nimis: erátque vir ille magnus inter omnes Orientáles.

1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family.

℟ Si bona suscépimus de manu Dei, mala autem quare non sustineámus?

℟ If we have received good things from the hand of God, why should we not endure the evil?

Dóminus dedit, Dóminus ábstulit; sicut Dómino plácuit, ita factum est: sit nomen Dómini benedíctum.

The Lord gave, the Lord has taken away; as it has pleased the Lord, so it is done: blessed be the name of the Lord.

Iob 1:4-5

4 Et ibant fílii eius et faciébant convívium per domos, unusquísque in die suo. Et mitténtes vocábant tres soróres suas, ut coméderent et bíberent cum eis.
5 Cumque in orbem transíssent dies convívii, mittébat ad eos Iob et sanctificábat illos, consurgénsque dilúculo offerébat holocáusta pro síngulis; dicébat enim: Ne forte peccáverint fílii mei et benedíxerint Deo in córdibus suis. Sic faciébat Iob cunctis diébus.

4 And his sons went and made a feast in their houses, each on his own day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 And when the days of their feasting had gone round in turn, Job sent to them and sanctified them, rising early and offering burnt offerings for each one; for he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all his days.

℟ Antequam cómedam, suspíro, et tamquam inundántes aquæ sic rugítus meus; quia timor, quem timébam, evénit mihi, et quod verébar áccidit. Nonne dissimulávi? nonne sílui? nonne quiévi?

℟ Before I eat, I sigh, and my groaning is like overflowing waters; because the fear that I feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has befallen me. Did I not dissemble? did I not keep silence? did I not take rest?

Et venit super me indignátio.

And indignation came upon me.

℣ Ecce non est auxílium mihi in me, et necessárii quoque mei recessérunt a me.

℣ Behold, there is no help within me, and my kinsmen also have withdrawn from me.

Iob 1:6-11

6 Quadam autem die, cum veníssent fílii Dei ut assísterent coram Dómino, áffuit inter eos étiam Satan.
7 Cui dixit Dóminus: Unde venis? Qui respóndens ait: Circuívi terram et perambulávi eam.
8 Dixítque Dóminus ad eum: Numquid considerásti servum meum Iob, quod non sit ei símilis in terra, homo simplex et rectus ac timens Deum et recédens a malo?
9 Cui respóndens Satan ait: Numquid Iob frustra timet Deum?
10 nonne tu vallásti eum ac domum eius, universámque substántiam per circúitum opéribus mánuum eius benedixísti, et posséssio eius crevit in terra?
11 Sed exténde páululum manum tuam et tange cuncta quæ póssidet, nisi in fáciem benedíxerit tibi.

6 Now on a certain day, when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present among them.
7 And the Lord said to him: Where have you come from? And he answered and said: I have been roaming through the earth and walking about in it.
8 And the Lord said to him: Have you considered my servant Job, that there is no one like him in the earth, a man simple and upright and fearing God and departing from evil?
9 And Satan answered the Lord and said: Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 Have you not surrounded him and his house and all his possessions on every side, blessed the work of his hands, and made his substance increase on the earth?
11 But stretch forth your hand a little and touch all that he possesses, and then see whether he will bless you to your face.

℟ Quare detraxístis sermónibus veritátis? ad increpándum verba compónitis et subvértere nitímini amícum vestrum:

℟ Why have you detracted from words of truth? You compose words to rebuke, and you strive to overthrow your friend:

Verúmtamen quæ cogitástis, expléte.

Yet carry out what you have planned.

℣ Quod iustum est, iudicáte; et non inveniétis in lingua mea iniquitátem.

℣ Judge what is just; and you will not find iniquity on my tongue.

℟ Verúmtamen quæ cogitástis, expléte.

℟ Yet carry out what you have planned.

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.
9:20 Rise up, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: * let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.

Ex libro Morálium sancti Gregórii Papæ

From the Book of the Moralia of Saint Gregory the Pope

Lectio iv, Lib. 2, Cap. 1

Scriptúra sacra mentis óculis quasi quoddam spéculum oppónitur, ut intérna nostra fácies in ipsa videátur. Ibi étenim fœda, ibi pulchra nostra cognóscimus: ibi sentímus quantum profícimus, ibi a proféctu quam longe distámus. Narrat autem gesta Sanctórum, et ad imitatiónem corda próvocat infirmórum; dumque illórum victrícia facta commémorat, contra vitiórum prǽlia, debília nostra confírmat: fitque verbis illíus, ut eo mens minus inter certámina trépidet, quo ante se pósitos tot virórum fórtium triúmphos videt.

Sacred Scripture is set before the eyes of the mind like a kind of mirror, so that in it our interior face may be seen. For in it we recognize what is foul in us, what is beautiful; there we perceive how far we progress, how far we stand from progress. Moreover it narrates the deeds of the Saints, and provokes the hearts of the weak to imitation; and while it recounts their victorious deeds, it strengthens our weakness against the battles of the vices: and through its words it comes to pass that the mind trembles less amid the contests, in that it sees placed before it the triumphs of so many brave men.

℟ Indúta est caro mea putrédine, et sórdibus púlveris cutis mea áruit et contrácta est:

℟ My flesh is clothed with rottenness and the filth of dust, my skin is dried up and drawn together:

Meménto mei, Dómine, quóniam ventus est vita mea.

Remember me, O Lord, for my life is wind.

℣ Dies mei velócius transiérunt quam a texénte tela succíditur, et consúmpti sunt absque ulla spe.

℣ My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.

℟ Meménto mei, Dómine, quóniam ventus est vita mea.

℟ Remember me, O Lord, for my life is wind.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Nonnúmquam vero non solum nobis eórum virtútes ásserit, sed étiam casus innotéscit; ut et in victória fórtium, quod imitándo arrípere, et rursum videámus in lápsibus quid debeámus timére. Ecce enim Iob descríbitur tentatióne auctus, sed David tentatióne prostrátus; ut et maiórum virtus spem nostram fóveat, et maiórum casus ad cautélam nos humilitátis accíngat: quátenus dum illa gaudéntes súblevant, ista metuéntes premant; et audiéntis ánimus illinc spei fidúcia, hinc humilitáte timóris erudítus, nec temeritáte supérbiat, quia formídine prémitur; nec pressus timóre despéret, quia ad spei fidúciam virtútis exémplo roborátur.

Sometimes indeed Scripture not only declares to us the virtues of these men, but their falls also become known; so that in the victory of the brave we may see what to seize upon by imitation, and again in the falls what we ought to fear. For behold, Job is described as increased by temptation, but David as prostrated by temptation; so that the virtue of the great may nourish our hope, and the falls of the great may gird us to the caution of humility: while those, joyfully, lift us up, and these, fearfully, weigh us down; and the soul of the hearer, instructed by the confidence of hope from the former and by the humility of fear from the latter, neither grows proud in rashness because it is pressed down by dread, nor, pressed down by fear, despairs, because by the example of virtue it is strengthened toward the confidence of hope.

℟ Páucitas diérum meórum finiétur brevi; dimítte me, Dómine, ut plangam páululum dolórem meum,

℟ The few days of my life will soon be ended; leave me, O Lord, that I may weep a little for my sorrow,

Antequam vadam ad terram tenebrósam et opértam mortis calígine.

Before I go to the dark land, covered over with the shadow of death.

℣ Manus tuæ, Dómine, fecérunt me, et plasmavérunt me totum in circúitu; et sic repénte præcípitas me?

℣ Your hands, O Lord, have made me and fashioned me wholly round about; and will you then cast me down so suddenly?

℟ Antequam vadam ad terram tenebrósam et opértam mortis calígine.

℟ Before I go to the dark land, covered over with the shadow of death.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Lib. 1 Moral., cap. 1

Vir erat in terra Hus, nómine Iob. Idcírco sanctus vir ubi habitáverit dícitur, ut eius méritum virtútis exprimátur. Hus namque quis nésciat quod sit in terra Gentílium? Gentílitas autem eo obligáta vítiis éxstitit, quo cognitiónem sui Conditóris ignorávit. Dicátur ítaque ubi habitáverit; ut hoc eius láudibus profíciat, quod bonus inter malos fuit. Neque enim valde laudábile est, bonum esse cum bonis, sed bonum esse cum malis. Sicut enim gravióris culpæ est, inter bonus bonum non esse; ita imménsi est præcónii, bonum étiam inter malos exstitísse.

There was a man in the land of Hus named Job. The place where this holy man dwelt is therefore stated in order to express the merit of his virtue. For who does not know that Hus is in the land of the Gentiles? The Gentile world was bound by vices to the degree that it was ignorant of the knowledge of its Creator. Let it therefore be said where he dwelt, so that this may redound to his praise: that he was good among the wicked. For it is not greatly praiseworthy to be good among the good, but to be good among the wicked. For just as it is a graver fault not to be good among the good, so it is an immense commendation to have been good even among the wicked.

℟ Non abscóndas me, Dómine, a fácie tua: manum tuam longe fac a me,

℟ Hide me not, O Lord, from your face: remove your hand far from me,

Et formído tua non me térreat.

And let not your dread terrify me.

℣ Córripe me, Dómine, in misericórdia, non in furóre tuo, ne forte ad níhilum rédigas me.

℣ Correct me, O Lord, in mercy, not in your fury, lest you reduce me to nothing.

℟ Et formído tua non me térreat.

℟ And let not your dread terrify me.

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

Ant. Ut quid, Dómine, * recessísti longe?

Ant. Why, O Lord, * have you withdrawn far away?

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.

℣ 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.

Ant. Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe?

Ant. Why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away?

Ant. Exsúrge, * Dómine Deus, exaltétur manus tua.

Ant. Arise, * O Lord God, let your hand be exalted.

Psalmus 9(33-39)

Psalm 9(33-39)

9:33 Exsúrge, Dómine Deus, exaltétur manus tua: * ne obliviscáris páuperum.
9:34 Propter quid irritávit ímpius Deum? * dixit enim in corde suo: Non requíret.
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.

℣ 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.

Psalm 10

10:2 In Dómino confído: † quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
10:3 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, † paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
10:4 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * iustus autem quid fecit?
10:5a Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cælo sedes eius.
10:5b Óculi eius in páuperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ eius intérrogant fílios hóminum.
10:6 Dóminus intérrogat iustum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
10:7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
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 Lucam

A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 7:11-16

In illo témpore: Ibat Iesus in civitátem, quæ vocátur Naim; et ibant cum eo discípuli eius, et turba copiósa. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

At that time: Jesus went to a city called Nain; and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. Etc.

A Homily of Saint Augustine the Bishop

Sermo 44 de verbis Domini, circa initium

De iúvene illo resuscitáto gavísa est mater vídua; de homínibus in spíritu cotídie suscitátis gaudet mater Ecclésia. Ille quidem mórtuus erat córpore; illi autem mente. Illíus mors visíbilis visibíliter plangebátur; illórum mors invisíbilis nec quærebátur, nec videbátur. Quæsívit ille, qui nóverat mórtuos. Ille solus nóverat mórtuos, qui póterat fácere vivos. Nisi enim ad mórtuos suscitándos venísset, Apóstolus non díceret: Surge, qui dormis, et exsúrge a mórtuis, et illuminábit te Christus.

The widowed mother rejoiced over that young man restored to life; the mother Church rejoices over men daily raised up in spirit. That one indeed was dead in body; these were dead in mind. His visible death was visibly mourned; their invisible death was neither sought out nor seen. He who knew the dead sought them out. He alone knew the dead, who was able to make them living. For unless he had come to raise up the dead, the Apostle would not say: Arise, you who sleep, and rise up from the dead, and Christ will enlighten you.

℟ Quis mihi tríbuat, ut in inférno prótegas me et abscóndas me, donec pertránseat furor tuus, Dómine, nisi tu, qui solus es Deus?

℟ Who will grant me that you would protect me in the underworld and hide me, until your wrath passes, O Lord, if not you, who alone are God?

Et constítuas mihi tempus, in quo recordéris mei?

And that you would appoint me a time in which you would remember me?

℣ Numquid sicut dies hóminis dies tui, ut quæras iniquitátem meam; cum sit nemo, qui de manu tua possit erúere.

℣ Are your days like the days of man, that you would seek out my iniquity; since there is no one who can deliver from your hand?

℟ Et constítuas mihi tempus, in quo recordéris mei?

℟ And that you would appoint me a time in which you would remember me?

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Tres autem mórtuos invenímus a Dómino resuscitátos visibíliter, míllia invisibíliter. Quot autem mórtuos visibíliter suscitáverit, quis novit? Non enim ómnia, quæ fecit, scripta sunt. Ioánnes hoc dixit: Multa ália fecit Iesus, quæ si scripta essent, árbitror totum mundum non posse libros cápere. Multi ergo sunt álii sine dúbio suscitáti, sed non tres frustra commemoráti. Dóminus enim noster Iesus Christus ea quæ faciébat corporáliter, étiam spiritáliter volébat intélligi. Neque enim tantum mirácula propter mirácula faciébat; sed ut illa, quæ faciébat, mira essent vidéntibus, vera essent intelligéntibus.

We find three dead persons visibly raised by the Lord, thousands invisibly. But how many he raised visibly, who knows? For not all that he did is written. John said this: Jesus performed many other things as well, which, if they were written down, I think the whole world could not contain the books. Many others, therefore, were without doubt raised, but these three are not recalled in vain. For our Lord Jesus Christ willed that what he did bodily should also be understood spiritually. Nor did he perform miracles merely for the sake of miracles; but that those things which he did might be wondrous to those who saw, and true to those who understood.

℟ Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum:

℟ Two Seraphim cried out one to the other:

℣ Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.

Quemádmodum qui videt lítteras in códice óptime scripto, et non novit légere, laudat quidem antiquárii manum, admírans ápicum pulchritúdinem; sed quid sibi velint, quid índicent illi ápices, nescit, et est óculis laudátor, mente non cógnitor. Alius autem et laudat artifícium, et capit intelléctum: ille útique, qui non solum vidére quod commúne est ómnibus, potest, sed étiam légere; quod qui non dídicit, non potest. Ita qui vidérunt Christi mirácula, et non intellexérunt quid sibi vellent, et quid intelligéntibus quodámmodo innúerent, miráti sunt tantum quia facta sunt; álii vero et facta miráti, et intellécta assecúti. Tales nos in schola Christi esse debémus.

Just as one who sees letters in an excellently written book and does not know how to read praises the hand of the scribe, admiring the beauty of the characters, but does not know what those characters mean or indicate — and is a praiser with his eyes, but no knower with his mind. But another both praises the craftsmanship and grasps the meaning: that man, namely, who can not only see, which is common to all, but also read — which one who has not learned cannot do. So those who saw the miracles of Christ and did not understand what they meant and what they were, as it were, intimating to those who understood, only marveled that they were done; but others both marveled at what was done and attained to what was understood. Such must we be in the school of Christ.

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.
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.
