Hymnus
Somno reféctis ártubus,
Spreto cubíli, súrgimus:
Nobis, Pater, canéntibus
Adésse te depóscimus.
Te lingua primum cóncinat,
Te mentis ardor ámbiat:
Ut áctuum sequéntium
Tu, Sancte, sis exórdium.
Cedant tenébræ lúmini,
Et nox diúrno síderi,
Ut culpa, quam nox íntulit,
Lucis labáscat múnere.
Precámur iídem súpplices,
Noxas ut omnes ámputes,
Et ore te canéntium
Laudéris omni témpore.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Our limbs refreshed with slumber now,
And sloth cast off, in prayer we bow;
And while we sing thy praises dear,
O Father, be thou present here.
To thee our earliest morning song,
To thee our hearts full powers belong;
And thou, O Holy One, prevent
Each following action and intent.
As shades at morning flee away,
And night before the star of day;
So each transgression of the night
Be purged by thee, celestial Light!
Cut off, we pray thee, each offense,
And every lust of thought and sense:
That by their lips who thee adore
Thou mayst be praised forevermore.
Grant this, O Father ever One
With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son,
And Holy Ghost, whom all adore,
Reigning and blest forevermore.
Amen.

Psalmus 13
Psalm 13
13:1a Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * non est Deus.
13:1b Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:2 Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intéllegens, aut requírens Deum.
13:3a Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:3b Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum: † linguis suis dolóse agébant * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
13:3c Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.
13:3d Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum, † et viam pacis non cognovérunt: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.
13:4 Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
13:5 Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
13:6 Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne iusta est, † consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes eius est.
13:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.
13:1a The fool has said in his heart: * there is no God.
13:1b They are corrupt, and they have become abominable in their pursuits: * there is none who does good, there is not even one.
13:2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there is any one who understands, or who seeks God.
13:3a All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: * there is none who does good, there is not even one.
13:3b Their throat is an open sepulchre: † they acted deceitfully with their tongues: * the poison of asps is under their lips.
13:3c Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: * their feet are swift to shed blood.
13:3d Destruction and misery are in their ways, † and the way of peace they have not known: * there is no fear of God before their eyes.
13:4 Will they never learn, all who work iniquity, * who devour my people as they eat bread?
13:5 They have not called upon the Lord, * there they trembled with fear, where there was no fear.
13:6 For the Lord is in the righteous generation, † you have confounded the counsel of the poor: * for the Lord is his hope.

28 Et respóndit rex David dicens: Vocáte ad me Bethsabée. Quæ cum fuísset ingréssa coram rege et stetísset ante eum,
29 iurávit rex, et ait: Vivit Dóminus, qui éruit ánimam meam de omni angústia,
30 quia, sicut iurávi tibi per Dóminum Deum Israël dicens: Sálomon fílius tuus regnábit post me et ipse sedébit super sólium meum pro me, sic fáciam hódie.

17:26 With the holy, you will be holy, * and with the innocent, you will be innocent:
17:27 And with the elect, you will be elect: * and with the perverse, you will be perverse.
17:28 For you will save the humble people: * and you will bring down the eyes of the arrogant.
17:29 For you illuminate my lamp, O Lord: * my God, enlighten my darkness.
17:30 For in you, I will be delivered from temptation: * and with my God, I will climb over a wall.
17:31 As for my God, his way is undefiled: † the eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire: * he is the protector of all who hope in him.

17:36b And your discipline has corrected me unto the end: * and your discipline itself will teach me.
17:37 You have expanded my footsteps under me: * and my tracks have not been weakened:
17:38 I will pursue my enemies and apprehend them: * and I will not turn back until they have failed.
17:39 I will break them, and they will not be able to stand: * they will fall under my feet.
17:40 And you have wrapped me with virtue for the battle: * and those rising up against me, you have subdued under me.
17:41 And you have given the back of my enemies to me, * and you have destroyed those who hated me.
17:42 They cried out, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: * but he did not heed them.
17:43 And I will crush them into dust before the face of the wind: * so that I will obliterate them like the mud in the streets.
17:44 You will rescue me from the contradictions of the people: * you will set me at the head of the Gentiles.
17:45 A people I did not know has served me: * as soon as their ears heard, they were obedient to me.
17:46 The sons of foreigners have been deceitful to me, * the sons of foreigners have grown weak with time, and they have wavered from their paths.
17:47 The Lord lives, and blessed is my God: * and may the God of my salvation be exalted.
17:48 O God, who vindicates me and who subdues the people under me: * my liberator from my enraged enemies.
17:49 And you will exalt me above those who rise up against me: * from the iniquitous man, you will rescue me.
17:50 Because of this, I will confess to you among the nations, O Lord: * and I will compose a psalm to your name:

Antonius Maria Zaccaría, Cremonæ in Insubria nobili genere natus, iam a púero qua futurus esset sanctitáte porténdere visus est. Eximiárum enim in eo virtútum significatiónes mature eluxérunt, pietátis in Deum ac beátam Vírginem; insígnis præsertim in páuperes misericórdiæ; quorum inópiæ sublevandæ, vel pretiósa veste sibi detracta, haud semel præsto fuit. Humanióribus litteris in pátria excultus, Ticíni philosophíæ, Patavii medicinæ addiscendæ operam dedit; utque ómnibus vitæ integritate, ita et æquálibus acúmine ingenii facile antecelluit. Lauream adeptus ac domum reversus, ubi intelléxit se Dei mónitu ad animórum magis quam córporum morbis medéndum vocari, in sacras disciplínas percipiendas sédulo incúbuit. Interea ægrotos vísere, púeros christiana doctrina informare, iúvenum cœtus pietáte excólere, ætate étiam provectos ad mores emendándos frequenter hortari non déstitit. Sacris initiatus, cum primo litáret, cælésti oborto lúmine, Angelórum coróna circúmdatus stupénti pópulo apparuísse tráditur. Exinde animárum salúti impensius consúlere, depravátis móribus summa ope obsístere curæ fuit. Ad hæc ádvenas, egénos, afflictos paterno complexus afféctu, piis alloquiis atque subsidiis recreatos ita solari, ut eius domus miserórum perfúgium haberétur, ípseque pater pátriæ atque angelus merúerit a suis civibus appellari.
Anthony Mary Zaccaria, born at Cremona in Lombardy of a noble family, seemed from boyhood to give promise of the holiness he was to possess. For the marks of extraordinary virtues shone out early in him: piety toward God and the Blessed Virgin; and a notable mercy toward the poor, for whose want he was more than once at hand to relieve, even stripping himself of a costly garment. Educated in the humanities in his native city, he applied himself at Pavia to the study of philosophy and at Padua to medicine; and as he excelled all others in integrity of life, so also did he easily surpass his contemporaries in sharpness of intellect. Having obtained his degree and returned home, when he understood through God's prompting that he was called to heal souls rather than bodies, he applied himself diligently to the sacred disciplines. In the meantime he never ceased to visit the sick, to instruct boys in Christian doctrine, to cultivate the piety of groups of young men, and frequently to exhort even those of advanced age to amend their ways. When ordained and offering his first Mass, he is said to have appeared to the astonished people surrounded by a crown of Angels amid a heavenly light that suddenly arose. From then on, it was his care to attend ever more earnestly to the salvation of souls and to oppose corrupt morals with all his strength. Moreover, he embraced strangers, the needy, and the afflicted with fatherly affection, comforting them when refreshed by pious words and assistance, so that his house was regarded as a refuge for the wretched, and he himself merited to be called by his fellow citizens father of the fatherland and an angel.
℟ Percússit Saul mille, et David decem míllia:
℟ Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands:
Quia manus Dómini erat cum illo: percússit Philisthǽum, et ábstulit oppróbrium ex Israël.
For the hand of the Lord was with him; he struck down the Philistine, and took away the reproach from Israel.
℣ Nonne iste est David, de quo canébant in choro, dicéntes: Saul percússit mille, et David decem míllia?
℣ Is not this David, of whom they sang in the chorus, saying: Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
℟ Quia manus Dómini erat cum illo: percússit Philisthǽum, et ábstulit oppróbrium ex Israël.
℟ For the hand of the Lord was with him; he struck down the Philistine, and took away the reproach from Israel.

Mediolani, cum secum agitaret uberióres in rem christianam manare posse fructus, si in vinea Dómini sibi labórum socios adscísceret, re communicáta cum Bartholomæo Ferrario et Iacobo Morígia, nobilíssimis et sanctíssimis viris, sodalitátis Clericórum regulárium fundaménta iecit; quam, ob suum in Géntium Apostolum amórem, a sancto Paulo nuncupávit. Quæ, Cleménte septimo Pontifice máximo approbante et Paulo tertio confirmánte, brevi per complures regiónes propagáta est. Sanctimoniálium quoque Angelicárum socíetas ipsum Antónium Mariam parentem et auctórem hábuit. Qui tamen adeo de se submisse sentiebat, ut nullo pacto præésse suo ordini umquam volúerit. Tanta vero fuit patiéntia, ut formidolosíssimas tempestates in suos commótas constanti animo perferret; tanta caritate, ut piis adhortatiónibus religiósos viros ad Dei amórem inflammare, sacerdótes ad apostolicam vivéndi normam revocare, patrumque familias sodalítia ad bonam frugem institúere numquam intermíserit. Immo, intérdum præláta cruce per cómpita plateasque cum suis progréssus, férvida ac veheménti oratióne aberrántes improbosque hómines ad salútem redúceret.
At Milan, while he was pondering with himself that more abundant fruit might flow for the Christian cause if he were to take colleagues in labor in the vineyard of the Lord, he communicated the matter to Bartholomew Ferrari and James Morigia, men of the highest nobility and holiness, and laid the foundations of the society of Clerks Regular; which, from his love for the Apostle to the Gentiles, he named after Saint Paul. This society, approved by Pontiff Clement VII and confirmed by Paul III, was quickly propagated throughout many regions. The society of the Angelical Sisters also had Antonio Maria himself as its parent and founder. Yet he thought so humbly of himself that he would never in any way accept the office of superior of his own order. So great was his patience that he bore with steadfast spirit the most fearful storms stirred up against his people; so great his charity that he never ceased to inflame religious men with the love of God through pious exhortations, to call priests back to the apostolic norm of life, and to form the brotherhoods of heads of families to a virtuous way of life. Indeed, he would sometimes go out with his companions through the streets and squares bearing the cross before him, and by fervent and vehement oration would bring erring and wicked men back to salvation.
℟ Montes Gélboë, nec ros nec plúvia véniant super vos,
℟ O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew nor rain fall upon you,

Illud étiam memorándum, quod, in Iesum crucifixum amóre flagrans, crucis mystérium ab ómnibus, ad statum æris campani indícium, sexta quaque feria sub vésperas, recoléndum curávit. Sanctíssimum Christi nomen in suis scriptis passim usurpábat et in ore semper habebat; eiusdémque cruciatus, vere Pauli discipulus, in corpore suo præ se ferebat. In sacram Eucharistiam singulari caritate ferebátur; cuius et frequenter percipiendæ consuetúdinem instaurávit, et morem e sublimi throno publice in triduum adorandæ invexísse perhibétur. Pudicítiam adeo coluit, ut étiam in exsangui corpore, revivíscere visus, eius amórem testarétur. Accéssere cæléstia dona éxtasis, lacrimárum, futurórum eventuum cognitiónis, scrutatiónis cordium, virtútis in humani generis hostem. Tandem, magnis labóribus ubíque exantlátis, Guastallæ quo pacis sequester accítus fuerat, gravi morbo correptus est. Cremonam adductus, inter suórum fletus et complexus piíssimæ matris, quam proxime obituram prædixit, superna Apostolórum visióne recreatus, sodalitátis suæ increménta prænuntians, tertio Nonas Iulii anno millesimo quingentésimo trigesimo nono, sanctíssime obiit, annos natus sex supra trigínta. Cultum tanto viro, ob exímiam eius sanctitátem et signórum copiam a christiáno pópulo statim exhíbitum, Leo décimus tertius Pontifex maximus ratum hábuit et confirmávit; eumdémque anno millesimo octingentésimo nonagesimo septimo, in festo Ascensiónis Dominicæ, solemni ritu Sanctórum fastis adscripsit.
Also to be remembered is that, burning with love for the crucified Jesus, he took care that the mystery of the Cross should be recalled by all at the sound of the bell each Friday toward evening. The most holy name of Christ was used throughout his writings and was ever on his lips; and the sufferings of that same Christ — a true disciple of Paul — he bore in his own body. He was drawn to the most holy Eucharist with singular charity; he both renewed the practice of receiving it frequently, and is said to have introduced the custom of publicly adoring it from an elevated throne over three days. He cultivated chastity so greatly that even in his bloodless body, seeming to come to life again, he bore witness to his love of it. Added to these were the heavenly gifts of ecstasy, of tears, of knowledge of future events, of the searching of hearts, and of power against the enemy of the human race. At last, his great labors everywhere endured, he was seized by a grave illness at Guastalla, whither he had been summoned as a mediator of peace. Brought to Cremona, amid the weeping and embraces of his companions and of his most pious mother — whose imminent death he foretold — refreshed by a heavenly vision of the Apostles and foretelling the growth of his society, he died most holily on the third day before the Nones of July in the year 1539, having lived thirty-six years. The veneration given by the Christian people to so great a man immediately after his death, on account of his outstanding holiness and abundance of signs, was confirmed and ratified by Pope Leo XIII; and that same Pontiff, in the year 1897, on the feast of the Lord's Ascension, enrolled him in solemn rite among the saints.
℟ Ego te tuli de domo patris tui, dicit Dóminus, et pósui te páscere gregem pópuli mei:

Sermo 47 de diversis
Durum vidétur et grave quod Dóminus imperávit, ut, si quis eum vult sequi ábneget seípsum; sed non est durum nec grave quod ille ímperat, qui ádiuvat ut fiat quod ímperat. Nam illud verum est quod ei dícitur in Psalmo: Propter verba labiórum tuórum ego custodívi vias duras. Quidquid enim durum est in præceptis, ut sis lene, caritas facit. Nóvimus quanta ipse amor facit. Quid autem est, Neget se? Non præsumat de se, séntiat se hóminem, et respiciat dictum propheticum: Maledictus omnis qui spem suam ponit in hómine: subdúcat se sibi sed non deorsum versus: subdúcat se sibi, ut hæreat Deo.
It seems hard and burdensome what the Lord commanded — that whoever wishes to follow him should deny himself; but it is not hard or burdensome what he commands, since he helps bring about what he commands. For that is true which is said to him in the Psalm: Because of the words of your lips I have kept to hard ways. For whatever is hard in the commandments, charity makes gentle. We know how much love itself accomplishes. But what is it: Let him deny himself? Let him not presume of himself; let him acknowledge himself to be a human being, and heed the prophetic saying: Cursed is everyone who places his hope in a human being. Let him withdraw from himself — but not downward; let him withdraw from himself so as to cleave to God.
℟ Peccávi super númerum arénæ maris, et multiplicáta sunt peccáta mea: et non sum dignus vidére altitúdinem cæli præ multitúdine iniquitátis meæ: quóniam irritávi iram tuam,
℟ I have sinned beyond the number of the sands of the sea, and my sins have been multiplied; and I am not worthy to look up to the height of heaven because of the multitude of my iniquity, for I have provoked your anger,
Et malum coram te feci.
And have done evil before you.
℣ Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: et delíctum meum contra me est semper, quia tibi soli peccávi.
℣ For I acknowledge my iniquity, and my transgression is ever before me; because against you only have I sinned.

Quo sequendus est Dóminus? Quo iit, novimus; resurréxit enim et ascéndit in cælum: illo sequendus est. Plane desperándum non est, quia ipse promísit, non quia homo aliquid potest. Iam quare desperémus, si membra illíus cápitis sumus? Bonum est illo eum sequi; sed vidéndum est, qua. Etenim verba ista Dóminus Iesus non tunc dicebat quando a mórtuis iam resurrexerat; nondum erat passus, venturus erat ad crucem, venturus ad exhonoratiónem, ad contumelias, ad flagélla, ad spinas, ad vulnera, ad insultatiónes, oppróbria, mortem. Quasi exasperáta est via: pigrum te facis, non vis sequi: Séquere. Nam quis non velit ire ad exaltatiónem? omnes delectat celsitudo, sed humilitas gradus est.
Where must the Lord be followed? Where he went, we know; for he rose again and ascended into heaven: he must be followed there. Certainly there is no cause for despair, because he himself has promised, not because man can do anything. And why should we despair, if we are members of that Head? It is good to follow him there; but we must see how. For the Lord Jesus was not saying these words at the time when he had already risen from the dead; he had not yet suffered; he was going to the Cross, going to dishonor, to insults, to scourging, to thorns, to wounds, to mockery, to reproaches, to death. The way has become, as it were, rough: you make yourself sluggish, you do not wish to follow. Follow. For who would not wish to go to exaltation? Heights delight everyone, but humility is the step.
℟ Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum:

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

Tolle crucem tuam, et séquere Dóminum. Crux enim nostra, quam Dóminus portari a nobis iubet, ut eum expeditíssimi sequamur, quid aliud quam mortalitátem carnis huius significat? Ipsa enim nos cruciat, donec absorbeátur mors in victoriam. Crux ergo hæc ipsa crucifigenda est, et transfigenda est clavis timoris Dei, ne solutis et liberis membris reluctántem portare non possis; sequi enim Dóminum, nisi eam portans, omnino non vales. Nam quómodo eum sequéris, si non es eius? Qui autem Iesu Christi sunt, ait Apóstolus, carnem suam crucifixérunt cum passiónibus et desidériis.
Take up your cross, and follow the Lord. For our cross, which the Lord commands us to carry that we may follow him with utmost readiness, what does it signify but the mortality of this flesh? For it torments us until death is swallowed up in victory. This cross therefore must itself be crucified, and transfixed with the nails of the fear of God, lest with its members loose and free you be unable to carry it as it struggles; for you cannot follow the Lord at all without carrying it. For how will you follow him if you are not his? But those who belong to Jesus Christ have crucified their flesh with its vices and concupiscences.
