Hymnus
Summæ Parens cleméntiæ,
Mundi regis qui máchinam,
Uníus et substántiæ,
Trinúsque persónis Deus:
Nostros pius cum cánticis
Fletus benígne súscipe:
Ut corde puro sórdium
Te perfruámur lárgius.
Lumbos, iecúrque mórbidum
Flammis adúre cóngruis,
Accíncti ut artus éxcubent,
Luxu remóto péssimo.
Quicúmque ut horas nóctium
Nunc concinéndo rúmpimus,
Ditémur omnes áffatim
Donis beátæ pátriæ.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Great God of boundless mercy hear;
Thou Ruler of this earthly sphere;
In substance one, in persons three,
Dread Trinity in Unity!
Do thou in love accept our lays
Of mingled penitence and praise;
And set our hearts from error free,
More fully to rejoice in thee.
Our reins and hearts in pity heal,
And with thy chastening fires anneal;
Gird Thou our loins, each passion quell,
And every harmful lust expel.
Now as our anthems, upward borne,
Awake the silence of the morn,
Enrich us with thy gifts of grace,
From heaven, thy blissful dwelling-place!
Hear thou our prayer, Almighty King!
Hear thou our praises, while we sing,
Adoring with the heavenly host,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Amen.

104:18 Humiliavérunt in compédibus pedes eius, ferrum pertránsiit ánimam eius * donec veníret verbum eius.
104:19 Elóquium Dómini inflammávit eum: * misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populórum, et dimísit eum.
104:21 Constítuit eum dóminum domus suæ: * et príncipem omnis possessiónis suæ:
104:22 Ut erudíret príncipes eius sicut semetípsum: * et senes eius prudéntiam docéret.

104:45 Ut custódiant iustificatiónes eius, * et legem eius requírant.
104:28 He sent darkness and made it conceal: * and he did not afflict them with his speech.
104:29 He turned their waters into blood: * and he slaughtered their fish.
104:30 Their land brought forth frogs: * even in the inner chambers of their kings.
104:31 He spoke, and there came forth common flies: * and gnats, in every region.
104:32 He gave them a shower of hail: * and a burning fire, in the same land.
104:33 And he struck their vineyards and their fig trees: * and he crushed the trees of their region.

104:35 And it devoured all the grass in their land: * and it consumed all the fruit of their land.
104:36 And he struck all the first-born in their land: * the first-fruits of all their labor.
104:37 And he led them out with silver and gold: * and there was not an infirm one among their tribes.
104:38 Egypt was joyful at their departure: * for the fear of them lay heavy upon them.
104:39 He spread a cloud for their protection: * and a fire, to give them light through the night.
104:40 They petitioned, and the quail came: * and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
104:41 He ruptured the rock and the waters flowed: * rivers gushed in the dry land;
104:42 For he had called to mind his holy word: * which he kept near to his servant Abraham.
104:43 And he led forth his people in exultation, * and his elect in rejoicing.

From the Fourth Book of Kings
4 Reg 18:1-5
4 Reg 18:1-5
1 Anno tértio Osée fílii Ela regis Israël, regnávit Ezechías fílius Achaz regis Iuda.
2 Vigínti quinque annórum erat cum regnáre cœpísset, et vigínti novem annis regnávit in Ierúsalem: Nomen matris eius Abi fília Zacharíæ.
3 Fecítque quod erat bonum coram Dómino, iuxta ómnia quæ fécerat David pater eius.
4 Ipse dissipávit excélsa, et contrívit státuas, et succídit lucos, confregítque serpéntem ǽneum, quem fécerat Móyses: síquidem usque ad illud tempus fílii Israël adolébant ei incénsum: vocavítque nomen eius Nohéstan.
5 In Dómino Deo Israël sperávit.
1 In the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, reigned as king of Judah.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
3 And he did what was good before the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
4 He destroyed the high places, and he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he broke apart the bronze serpent, which Moses had made. For even until that time, the sons of Israel were burning incense to it. And he called its name Nehushtan.
5 He hoped in the Lord, the God of Israel.
℟ 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.
℟ Et malum coram te feci.
℟ And have done evil before you.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

4 Reg 18:5-8
5 Itaque post eum non fuit símilis ei de cunctis régibus Iuda, sed neque in his qui ante eum fuérunt.
6 Et adhǽsit Dómino, et non recéssit a vestígiis eius, fecítque mandáta eius, quæ præcéperat Dóminus Móysi.
7 Unde et erat Dóminus cum eo, et in cunctis ad quæ procedébat, sapiénter se agébat. Rebellávit quoque contra regem Assyriórum, et non servívit ei.
8 Ipse percússit Philisthǽos usque ad Gazam, et omnes términos eórum, a turre custódum usque ad civitátem munítam.
5 He hoped in the Lord, the God of Israel. And after him, there was no one similar to him, among all the kings of Judah, nor even among any of those who were before him.
6 And he clung to the Lord, and he did not withdraw from his footsteps, and he carried out his commandments, which the Lord had instructed to Moses.
7 Therefore, the Lord was also with him. And he conducted himself wisely in all the things to which he went forth. Also, he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and he did not serve him.
8 He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza, and in all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
℟ Exaudísti, Dómine, oratiónem servi tui, ut ædificárem templum nómini tuo:

4 Reg 18:9-12
9 Anno quarto regis Ezechíæ, qui erat annus séptimus Osée fílii Ela regis Israël, ascéndit Salmánasar rex Assyriórum in Samaríam, et oppugnávit eam,
10 et cepit, nam post annos tres, anno sexto Ezechíæ, id est nono anno Osée regis Israël, capta est Samaría.
11 Et tránstulit rex Assyriórum Israël in Assýrios, collocavítque eos in Hala et in Habor flúviis Gozan, in civitátibus Medórum,
12 quia non audiérunt vocem Dómini Dei sui, sed prætergréssi sunt pactum eius; ómnia, quæ præcéperat Móyses servus Dómini, non audiérunt, neque fecérunt.
9 In the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended to Samaria, and he fought against it,
10 and he seized it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
11 And the king of the Assyrians took away Israel into Assyria. And he located them in Halah and in Habor, at the rivers of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
12 For they did not listen to the voice of the Lord, their God. Instead, they transgressed his covenant. All that Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed, they would neither hear, nor do.

105:7 Et irritavérunt ascendéntes in mare, * Mare Rubrum.
105:8 Et salvávit eos propter nomen suum: * ut notam fáceret poténtiam suam.
105:9 Et incrépuit Mare Rubrum, et exsiccátum est, * et dedúxit eos in abýssis sicut in desérto.
105:10 Et salvávit eos de manu odiéntium: * et redémit eos de manu inimíci.
105:11 Et opéruit aqua tribulántes eos: * unus ex eis non remánsit.

105:15 Et dedit eis petitiónem ipsórum: * et misit saturitátem in ánimas eórum.
105:1 Confess to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy is with every generation.
105:2 Who will declare the powers of the Lord, * who will make a hearing for all his praises?
105:3 Blessed are those who keep judgment, * and who do justice at all times.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, with good will for your people: * visit us with your salvation:
105:5 so that we may see the goodness of your elect, so that we may rejoice in the joy of your nation: * so that you may be praised along with your inheritance.
105:6 We have sinned, as have our fathers: * we have acted unjustly; we have wrought iniquity.
105:7 Our fathers did not understand your miracles in Egypt: * they did not remember the multitude of your mercies.
105:7 And they provoked you, while going up to the sea, * the Red Sea.
105:8 And he saved them for the sake of his name: * so that he might make known his power.
105:9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, * and he led them into the abyss, as if into a desert.
105:10 And he saved them from the hand of those who hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
105:11 And the water covered those who troubled them: * not one of them remained.
105:12 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises.
105:13 As soon as they had finished, they forgot his works: * and they would not endure his counsel.
105:14 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in a waterless place.
105:15 And he granted to them their request: * and he sent abundance into their souls.

Psalm 105(16-31)
105:16 Et irritavérunt Móysen in castris: * Aaron, sanctum Dómini.
105:17 Apérta est terra, et deglutívit Dathan: * et opéruit super congregatiónem Abíron.
105:18 Et exársit ignis in synagóga eórum * flamma combússit peccatóres.
105:19 Et fecérunt vítulum in Horeb * et adoravérunt scúlptile.
105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis fænum.
105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:23 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus eius, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu eius:
105:24 Ut avérteret iram eius ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:25 Non credidérunt verbo eius, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:26 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:
105:27 Et ut deíceret semen eórum in natiónibus: * et dispérgeret eos in regiónibus.
105:28 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.
105:29 Et irritavérunt eum in adinventiónibus suis: * et multiplicáta est in eis ruína.
105:30 Et stetit Phínees, et placávit: * et cessávit quassátio.
105:31 Et reputátum est ei in iustítiam: * in generatiónem et generatiónem usque in sempitérnum.
105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp: * and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed Dathan: * and it covered the congregation of Abiram.
105:18 And a fire broke out in their congregation: * a flame burned up the sinners.
105:19 And they fashioned a calf at Horeb, * and they adored a graven image.
105:20 And they exchanged their glory * for the likeness of a calf that eats hay.
105:21 They forgot God, who saved them, * who did great things in Egypt, wonders in the land of Ham, and terrible things at the Red Sea.
105:23 And he said that he would destroy them: * yet Moses, his elect, stood firm before him in the breach,
105:24 in order to avert his wrath, lest he destroy them: * and they held the desirable land to be nothing.
105:25 They did not trust in his word, and they murmured in their tabernacles: * they did not heed the voice of the Lord.
105:26 And he lifted up his hand over them: * in order to prostrate them in the desert:
105:27 and in order to cast their offspring among the nations: * and to scatter them among the regions.
105:28 And they were initiated into Baal of Peor: * and they ate the sacrifices of the dead.
105:29 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and ruination was multiplied in them.
105:30 Then Phinehas stood up and placated him: * and so the violent disturbance ceased.
105:31 And it was reputed to him unto justice: * from generation to generation, even forever.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalm 105(32-48)
105:32 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum eius.
105:33 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:35 Et commísti sunt inter gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:37 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et fílias suas dæmóniis.
105:38 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:39 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:40 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.
105:41 Et trádidit eos in manus géntium: * et domináti sunt eórum qui odérunt eos.
105:42 Et tribulavérunt eos inimíci eórum, et humiliáti sunt sub mánibus eórum: * sæpe liberávit eos.
105:43 Ipsi autem exacerbavérunt eum in consílio suo: * et humiliáti sunt in iniquitátibus suis.
105:44 Et vidit, cum tribularéntur: * et audívit oratiónem eórum.
105:45 Et memor fuit testaménti sui: * et pœnítuit eum secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ suæ.
105:46 Et dedit eos in misericórdias * in conspéctu ómnium qui céperant eos.
105:47 Salvos nos fac, Dómine, Deus noster: * et cóngrega nos de natiónibus:
105:47 Ut confiteámur nómini sancto tuo: * et gloriémur in laude tua.
105:48 Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israël, a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum: * et dicet omnis pópulus: Fiat, fiat.
105:32 And they provoked him at the Waters of Contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted because of them,
105:33 for they exasperated his spirit: * and so he divided them with his lips.
105:35 And they were mixed among the Gentiles, and they learned their works; and they served their graven images: * and it became a scandal to them.
105:37 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters, to demons.
105:38 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters, which they sacrificed to the graven images of Canaan.
105:39 And the land was infected with bloodshed, and was contaminated with their works: * and they fornicated according to their own inventions.
105:40 And the Lord became furiously angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance.
105:41 And he handed them over into the hands of the nations: * and those who hated them held dominion over them.
105:42 And their enemies afflicted them, and they were humbled under their hands: * many times he delivered them.
105:43 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities.
105:44 And he saw, when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer.
105:45 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and he repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
105:46 And he provided for them with mercies * in the sight of all those who had seized them.
105:47 Save us, O Lord our God: * and gather us from the nations:
105:47 That we may give thanks to your holy name: * and glory in your praise.
105:48 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, from age to age: * and let all the people say: Amen. Amen.

Ignatius, natióne Hispanus, nobili genere Loyolæ in Cantabria natus, primo catholici regis aulam, deínde milítiam secutus est. In propugnatióne Pampelonénsi accepto vulnere gráviter decumbens, ex fortuita piórum librórum lectióne, ad Christi Sanctorúmque sectanda vestígia mirabíliter exársit. Ad montem Serrátum profectus, ante aram beátæ Vírginis suspénsis armis, noctem éxcubans, sacræ milítiæ tirocinium pósuit. Inde, ut erat indútus sacco, traditis antea mendíco pretiósis vestibus, Manresam secessit; ubi, emendicato pane et aqua víctitans, exceptisque diébus Dominicis, ieiunans, aspera catena cilicióque carnem domans, humi cubans, et férreis se flagellis cruentans, per annum commorátus est, claris adeo illustratiónibus a Deo recreatus, ut póstea dicere sólitus sit: Si sacræ Litteræ non exstarent, se tamen pro fide mori parátum ex iis solum, quæ sibi Manresæ patefécerat Dóminus. Quo témpore, homo litterárum plane rudis, admirábilem illum compósuit exercitiórum librum, Sedis apostolicæ iudício et ómnium utilitate comprobátum.
Ignatius, a Spaniard by birth, of noble lineage from Loyola in Cantabria, first followed the court of the Catholic king, then the military life. While gravely laid up with a wound received in the defense of Pamplona, he was wonderfully inflamed by the chance reading of pious books to follow in the footsteps of Christ and the Saints. Going to Mount Serrat and laying down his arms before the altar of the Blessed Virgin, he kept vigil through the night and made his novitiate for the sacred soldiery. Thence, wearing sackcloth as he was, having first given his costly garments to a beggar, he withdrew to Manresa; where, living on begged bread and water, fasting except on Sundays, taming the flesh with a harsh chain and hairshirt, lying on the ground, and bloodying himself with iron whips, he remained for a year, so refreshed by clear illuminations from God that he was accustomed to say afterward: If the sacred Scriptures did not exist, he would nonetheless be prepared to die for the faith from those things alone which the Lord had revealed to him at Manresa. At that time, a man utterly unlettered, he composed that admirable book of the Exercises, approved by the judgment of the Apostolic See and by the benefit of all.
℟ 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.

Ut vero se ad animárum lucra rite formaret, subsidium litterárum, a grammatica inter púeros exorsus, adhibére státuit. Cumque nihil interim omitteret de studio alienæ salútis, mirum est quas ubíque locórum ærúmnas ac ludibria devoráverit, asperrima quæque, et víncula et verbera pene ad mortem usque perpéssus: quibus tamen longe plura pro Dómini sui glória semper expetebat. Lutetiæ Parisiórum adiunctis sibi ex illa academía variárum natiónum sociis novem, qui omnes artium magistériis et theologíæ gradibus insignes erant, ibidem in monte Mártyrum prima ordinis fundaménta iecit, quem póstea Romæ instítuens, ad tria consueta quarto addito de Missiónibus voto, Sedi apostolicæ arctius adstrinxit; et Paulus tertius primo recepit confirmavítque, mox alii Pontifices ac Tridentina synodus probavére. Ipse autem, misso ad prædicándum Indis Evangélium sancto Francisco Xaverio, aliisque in alias mundi plagas ad religiónem propagandam disseminatis, éthnicæ superstitióni hæresique bellum indixit; eo successu continuátum, ut constans fúerit ómnium sensus, étiam pontificio confirmátus oraculo, Deum, sicut alios aliis tempóribus sanctos viros, ita Luthéro eiusdemque témporis hæreticis Ignatium et institutam ab eo societátem obiecisse.
That he might rightly form himself for the gaining of souls, he decided to make use of the support of letters, beginning with grammar among boys. And while he neglected nothing in the meantime of his zeal for the salvation of others, it is wonderful what hardships and mockeries he endured everywhere, suffering most bitter things, chains and beatings almost to the point of death: though he always sought far more of these things for the glory of his Lord. At Paris, having associated with himself nine companions from that academy of various nations, all of them distinguished by their masterships in arts and degrees in theology, he there on Montmartre laid the first foundations of an order which he afterward at Rome

Sed in primis inter Catholicos instaurare pietátem curæ fuit. Templórum nitor, catechismi traditio, conciónum ac sacramentórum frequéntia ab ipso increméntum accepére. Ipse, apertis ubíque locórum ad iuventútem erudiéndam in litteris ac pietáte gymnasiis, eréctis Romæ Germanórum collegio, male nuptárum et periclitántium puellárum cœnobiis, utriusque sexus tam orphanórum quam catechumenórum dómibus, aliisque pietátis opéribus, indeféssus lucrandis Deo ánimis instábat; audítus aliquándo dicere, si optio darétur, malle se beatitúdinis incertum vivere, et interim Deo inservire et proximórum saluti, quam certum eiusdem glóriæ statim mori. In dæmones mirum exercuit impérium. Vultum eius cælésti luce radiántem sanctus Philippus Nerius aliique conspexere. Denique, ætátis anno sexagesimo quinto, ad Dómini sui amplexum, cuius maiórem glóriam in ore semper habúerat, semper in ómnibus quæsíerat, emigrávit. Quem Gregórius décimus quintus, magnis in Ecclésiam meritis et miraculis illustrem, Sanctórum fastis adscripsit, et Pius undecimus, sacrórum Antístitum votis obsecundans, ómnium Exercitiórum Spiritualium Patronum cælestem constítuit ac declarávit.
But above all, his care was to restore piety among Catholics. The splendor of the temples, the handing on of the catechism, the frequency of sermons and of the sacraments received increase from him. He himself, by opening everywhere schools for the instruction of youth in learning and piety, by founding at Rome a college for Germans, monasteries for women in troubled marriages and for girls in danger, houses for orphans and catechumens of both sexes, and other works of piety, labored without ceasing for the winning of souls for God; and he was heard to say at times that, if the choice were given him, he would rather live in uncertainty of beatitude and in the meantime serve God and work for the salvation of his neighbor, than die at once with the certainty of that same glory. He exercised a wondrous authority over demons. Saint Philip Neri and others beheld his face radiant with a heavenly light. Finally, in the sixty-fifth year of his age, he departed to the embrace of his Lord, whose greater glory he had always had upon his lips and had always sought in all things. Gregory XV, illustrious for his great merits toward the Church and for miracles, enrolled him in the roll of the Saints; and Pius XI, acceding to the wishes of the sacred clergy, appointed and declared him the heavenly Patron of all Spiritual Exercises.
℟ Ego te tuli de domo patris tui, dicit Dóminus, et pósui te páscere gregem pópuli mei:
℟ I took you from your father's house, says the Lord, and I set you to shepherd the flock of my people:
Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.
And I was with you in all things, wherever you walked, establishing your kingdom for ever.
℣ Fecíque tibi nomen grande, iuxta nomen magnórum, qui sunt in terra: et réquiem dedi tibi ab ómnibus inimícis tuis.

106:4 Erravérunt in solitúdine in inaquóso: * viam civitátis habitáculi non invenérunt.

106:3 From the rising of the sun and its setting: * from the north and from the sea.
106:4 They wandered in solitude in a waterless place: * they did not find the way to a city of habitation.
106:5 Hungry and thirsty: * their soul fainted within them.
106:6 And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he rescued them from their necessity.
106:7 And he led them in the right way: * that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
106:8 Let them confess to the Lord his mercies: * and his wonders to the sons of men.
106:9 For he has satisfied the empty soul: * and the hungry soul he has filled with good things.
106:10 Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * shackled in poverty and in iron.
106:11 For they had provoked the words of God: * and had spurned the counsel of the Most High.
106:12 And their heart was brought low with hardships: * they were weakened, and there was no one to help them.

Psalm 106(15-30)

106:16 Quia contrívit portas ǽreas: * et vectes férreos confrégit.
106:17 Suscépit eos de via iniquitátis eórum: * propter iniustítias enim suas humiliáti sunt.
106:18 Omnem escam abomináta est ánima eórum: * et appropinquavérunt usque ad portas mortis.
106:19 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.
106:20 Misit verbum suum, et sanávit eos: * et erípuit eos de interitiónibus eórum.

106:23 Qui descéndunt mare in návibus, * faciéntes operatiónem in aquis multis.
106:24 Ipsi vidérunt ópera Dómini, * et mirabília eius in profúndo.
106:25 Dixit, et stetit spíritus procéllæ: * et exaltáti sunt fluctus eius.
106:26 Ascéndunt usque ad cælos, et descéndunt usque ad abýssos: * ánima eórum in malis tabescébat.
106:27 Turbáti sunt, et moti sunt sicut ébrius: * et omnis sapiéntia eórum devoráta est.
106:28 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum edúxit eos.
106:29 Et státuit procéllam eius in auram: * et siluérunt fluctus eius.
106:30 Et lætáti sunt quia siluérunt: * et dedúxit eos in portum voluntátis eórum.
106:15 Let them confess to the Lord his mercies: * and his wonders to the sons of men.
106:16 For he has crushed the gates of brass: * and broken the iron bars.
106:17 He has taken them up from the way of their iniquity: * for they were brought low because of their injustices.
106:18 Their soul abhorred all food: * and they drew near even to the gates of death.
106:19 And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he delivered them from their necessity.
106:20 He sent his word, and healed them: * and rescued them from their utter destruction.
106:21 Let them confess to the Lord his mercies: * and his wonders to the sons of men.
106:22 And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise: * and declare his works in exultation.
106:23 Those who descend to the sea in ships, * making their livelihood in the great waters:
106:24 These have seen the works of the Lord, * and his wonders in the deep.
106:25 He spoke, and a windstorm arose: * and its waves were exalted.
106:26 They ascend even to the heavens, and descend even to the abyss: * their soul wasted away in distress.
106:27 They were troubled and moved like a drunkard: * and all their wisdom was consumed.
106:28 And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he led them out of their distress.
106:29 And he replaced the storm with a breeze: * and its waves were stilled.
106:30 And they rejoiced that it was stilled: * and he led them into the haven they desired.

106:38 Et benedíxit eis, et multiplicáti sunt nimis: * et iuménta eórum non minorávit.
106:39 Et pauci facti sunt: * et vexáti sunt a tribulatióne malórum, et dolóre.
106:40 Effúsa est contémptio super príncipes: * et erráre fecit eos in ínvio, et non in via.
106:41 Et adiúvit páuperem de inópia: * et pósuit sicut oves famílias.
106:42 Vidébunt recti, et lætabúntur: * et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.

106:33 He has placed rivers in the desert: * and sources of water in a waterless land.
106:34 A fruit-bearing land into brine: * because of the malice of those who dwell in it.
106:35 He has placed the desert in pools of water: * and a land without water in sources of water.
106:36 And he has gathered the hungry there: * and they have built a city of habitation.
106:37 And they sowed fields and planted vineyards: * and they yielded the fruit of their increase.
106:38 And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: * and their cattle he did not diminish.
106:39 And they became few: * and were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and sorrow.
106:40 Contempt was poured out upon their leaders: * and he caused them to wander in trackless places and not on the way.
106:41 And he helped the poor man out of destitution: * and set families like flocks.
106:42 The upright will see and rejoice: * and every iniquity will stop its mouth.

A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke
Luc 10:1-9
Luc 10:1-9
In illo témpore: Designávit Dóminus et álios septuagínta duos: et misit illos binos ante fáciem suam, in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ
At that time: The Lord designated another seventy-two, and sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive. And so forth.
A Homily of Saint Gregory the Pope
Homilia 17 in Evangelia
Homilia 17 in Evangelia
Dóminus et Salvátor noster, fratres caríssimi, aliquándo nos sermónibus, aliquándo vero opéribus ádmonet. Ipsa étenim facta eius præcépta sunt: quia dum áliquid tácitus facit, quid ágere debeámus innotéscit. Ecce enim binos in prædicatiónem discípulos mittit: quia duo sunt præcépta caritátis, Dei vidélicet amor, et próximi: et minus quam inter duos cáritas habéri non potest. Nemo enim próprie ad semetípsum habére caritátem dícitur: sed diléctio in álterum tendit, ut cáritas esse possit.
Our Lord and Savior, dearest brethren, admonishes us sometimes by words and sometimes by deeds. His very acts are precepts: for what he does in silence reveals what we ought to do. Behold, he sends the disciples forth in pairs to preach; for there are two commandments of charity, namely, the love of God and the love of neighbor; and charity cannot exist between fewer than two. For no one is said properly to have charity toward himself alone: but love reaches out to another, so that it may be charity.
℟ 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.
℟ Et malum coram te feci.
℟ And have done evil before you.
℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
Benedictio. May the divine assistance remain always with us.

Ecce enim binos ad prædicándum discípulos Dóminus mittit: quátenus hoc nobis tácitus ínnuat, quia qui caritátem erga álterum non habet, prædicatiónis offícium suscípere nullátenus debet. Bene autem dícitur, quia misit eos ante fáciem suam in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. Prædicatóres enim suos Dóminus séquitur: quia prædicátio prǽvenit, et tunc ad mentis nostræ habitáculum Dóminus venit, quando verba exhortatiónis præcúrrunt: atque per hoc véritas in mente suscípitur.
Behold, the Lord sends out his disciples two by two to preach: that by this he may silently indicate to us that whoever has no charity toward another ought by no means to take up the office of preaching. And it is well said that he sent them before his face into every town and place where he himself was about to come. For the Lord follows his preachers: because preaching goes before, and then the Lord comes to the dwelling of our heart when the words of exhortation have run ahead; and thus truth is received into the mind.
℟ Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum:
℟ Two Seraphim cried out one to the other:
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth: * Plena est omnis terra glória eius.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts: * all the earth is filled with his glory.
℣ Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
℣ For there are Three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these Three are One.
℟ Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
℟ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Hinc namque eísdem prædicatóribus Isaías dicit: Paráte viam Dómini, rectas fácite sémitas Dei nostri. Hinc fíliis Psalmísta ait: Iter fácite ei, qui ascéndit super occásum. Super occásum namque Dóminus ascéndit: quia unde in passióne occúbuit, inde maiórem suam glóriam resurgéndo manifestávit. Super occásum vidélicet ascéndit; quia mortem quam pértulit, resurgéndo calcávit. Ei ergo qui ascéndit super occásum, iter fácimus, cum nos eius glóriam vestris méntibus prædicámus, ut eas et ipse post véniens, per amóris sui præséntiam illústret.
For herein Isaiah says to those same preachers: "Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight the paths of our God." And herein the Psalmist says to the children: "Make a way for him who ascends above the west." The Lord ascends above the west: for from the very point where he set in his Passion, he manifested his greater glory by rising again. He ascends above the west, for he trampled down by rising again the death which he had endured. We therefore make a way for him who ascends above the west, when we proclaim his glory to your minds, so that he himself, coming after, may illuminate them by the presence of his love.
