Hymnus

Rex sempitérne Cǽlitum,
Rerum Creátor ómnium,
Æquális ante sǽcula
Semper Parénti Fílius:

Nascénte qui mundo Faber
Imáginem vultus tui
Tradens Adámo, nóbilem
Limo iugásti spíritum.

Cum livor et fraus dǽmonis
Fœdásset humánum genus:
Tu, carne amíctus, pérditam
Formam refórmas ártifex.

Qui, natus olim e Vírgine,
Nunc e sepúlcro násceris,
Tecúmque nos a mórtuis
Iubes sepúltos súrgere.

Qui, pastor ætérnus, gregem
Aqua lavas baptísmatis:
Hæc est lavácrum méntium:
Hæc est sepúlcrum críminum.

Nobis diu qui débitæ
Redémptor affíxus cruci,
Nostræ dedísti pródigus
Prétium salútis sánguinem.

Ut sis perénne méntibus
Paschále, Iesu, gáudium,
A morte dira críminum
Vitæ renátos líbera.

Deo Patri sit glória,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

O thou, the heavens' eternal King,
Creator, unto thee we sing,
With God the Father ever One,
Co-equal, co-eternal Son.

Thy hand, when first the world began,
Made in thine own pure image man,
And linked to Adam, sprung from earth,
A living soul of heavenly birth.

And when by craft the envious foe
Had marred thy noblest work below,
Clothed in our flesh, thou didst restore
The image thou hadst made before.

Once wast thou born of Mary's womb;
And now, new-born from out the tomb,
O Christ, thou bidd'st us rise with thee
From death to immortality.

Eternal Shepherd, thou dost lave
Thy flock in pure baptismal wave,
That mystic bath, that grave of sin,
Where ransomed souls new life begin.

Redeemer, thou for us didst deign
To hang upon the Cross of pain,
And give for us the lavish price
Of thine own blood in sacrifice.

Grant, Lord, in thee each faithful mind
Unceasing paschal joy may find;
And from the death of sin set free
Souls newly born to life by thee.

To thee, once dead, who now dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Ghost forevermore.
Amen.

77:5 Et suscitávit testimónium in Iacob: * et legem pósuit in Israël.
77:5 Quanta mandávit pátribus nostris nota fácere ea fíliis suis: * ut cognóscat generátio áltera.
77:6 Fílii qui nascéntur, et exsúrgent, * et narrábunt fíliis suis.
77:7 Ut ponant in Deo spem suam, et non obliviscántur óperum Dei: * et mandáta eius exquírant.
77:8 Ne fiant sicut patres eórum: * generátio prava et exásperans.
77:8 Generátio, quæ non diréxit cor suum: * et non est créditus cum Deo spíritus eius.

77:1 O my people, attend to my law: * incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
77:2 I will open my mouth in parables: * I will speak about concepts that are from the beginning.
77:3 We have heard and known such great things: * and our fathers have described them to us.

77:11 Et oblíti sunt benefactórum eius: * et mirabílium eius quæ osténdit eis.
77:12 Coram pátribus eórum fecit mirabília in terra Ægýpti: * in campo Táneos.

77:15 Interrúpit petram in erémo: * et adaquávit eos velut in abýsso multa.
77:16 Et edúxit aquam de petra: * et dedúxit tamquam flúmina aquas.

77:9 The sons of Ephraim, who bend and shoot the bow: * have been turned back in the day of battle.
77:10 They have not kept the covenant of God: * and they were not willing to walk in his law.
77:11 And they have been forgetful of his benefits: * and of his miracle, which he revealed to them.
77:12 He performed miracles in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt: * in the field of Tanis.
77:13 He broke the sea and he led them through: * and he stationed the waters, as if in a vessel.
77:14 And he led them with a cloud by day: * and with illumination by fire throughout the night.
77:15 He broke through the rock in the wasteland: * and he gave them to drink, as if from the great abyss.

Psalmus 77(17-31)

Psalm 77(17-31)

77:17 Et apposuérunt adhuc peccáre ei: * in iram excitavérunt Excélsum in inaquóso.
77:18 Et tentavérunt Deum in córdibus suis, * ut péterent escas animábus suis.
77:19 Et male locúti sunt de Deo: * dixérunt: Numquid póterit Deus paráre mensam in desérto?
77:20 Quóniam percússit petram, et fluxérunt aquæ: * et torréntes inundavérunt.
77:20 Numquid et panem póterit dare, * aut paráre mensam pópulo suo?
77:21 Ídeo audívit Dóminus, et dístulit: * et ignis accénsus est in Iacob, et ira ascéndit in Israël.
77:22 Quia non credidérunt in Deo: * nec speravérunt in salutári eius:
77:23 Et mandávit núbibus désuper: * et iánuas cæli apéruit.
77:24 Et pluit illis manna ad manducándum: * et panem cæli dedit eis.
77:25 Panem Angelórum manducávit homo, * cibária misit eis in abundántia.
77:26 Tránstulit Austrum de cælo: * et indúxit in virtúte sua Áfricum.
77:27 Et pluit super eos sicut púlverem carnes: * et sicut arénam maris volatília pennáta.
77:28 Et cecidérunt in médio castrórum eórum: * circa tabernácula eórum.
77:29 Et manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis: * non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo.
77:30 Adhuc escæ eórum erant in ore ipsórum: * et ira Dei ascéndit super eos.
77:31 Et occídit pingues eórum, * et eléctos Israël impedívit.

77:17 And yet, they continued to sin against him: * in a waterless place, they provoked the Most High with resentment.
77:18 And they tempted God in their hearts, * by asking for food according to their desires.
77:19 And they spoke badly about God: * they said, Would God be able to prepare a table in the desert?
77:20 He struck the rock, and so waters flowed, and the torrents flooded: * but would even he be able to provide bread,
77:20 or provide a table * for his people?
77:21 Therefore, the Lord heard, and he was dismayed: * and a fire was kindled within Jacob, and an anger ascended into Israel.
77:22 For they neither put their trust in God: * nor did they hope in his salvation:
77:23 And he commanded the clouds from above: * and he opened the doors of heaven.
77:24 And he rained down manna upon them to eat: * and he gave them the bread of heaven.
77:25 Man ate the bread of Angels, * he sent them provisions in abundance.
77:26 He transferred the south wind from heaven: * and in his virtue, he brought in the Southwest wind.
77:27 And he rained down flesh upon them, as if it were dust: * and feathered birds, as if they were the sand of the sea.
77:28 And they fell down in the midst of their camp: * encircling their tabernacles.
77:29 And they ate until they were greatly satisfied, and he brought to them according to their desires: * they were not cheated out of what they wanted.
77:30 Their food was still in their mouth: * and then the wrath of God came upon them.
77:31 And he slew the fat ones among them, * and he impeded the elect of Israel.

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

From the Book of Revelation of the blessed Apostle John

Apo 19:1-5

1 Post hæc audívi quasi vocem turbárum multárum in cælo dicéntium: Allelúia: salus, et glória, et virtus Deo nostro est:
2 quia vera et iusta iudícia sunt eius, qui iudicávit de meretríce magna, quæ corrúpit terram in prostitutióne sua, et vindicávit sánguinem servórum suórum de mánibus eius.
3 Et íterum dixérunt: Allelúia. Et fumus eius ascéndit in sǽcula sæculórum.
4 Et cecidérunt senióres vigínti quátuor, et quátuor animália, et adoravérunt Deum sedéntem super thronum, dicéntes: Amen: allelúia.
5 Et vox de throno exívit, dicens: Laudem dícite Deo nostro omnes servi eius: et qui timétis eum pusílli et magni.

1 After these things, I heard something like the voice of many multitudes in heaven, saying: 'Alleluia! Praise and glory and power is for our God.
2 For true and just are his judgments, he who has judged the great harlot that corrupted the earth by her prostitution. And he has vindicated the blood of his servants from her hands.'
3 And again, they said: 'Alleluia! For her smoke ascends forever and ever.'
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, sitting upon the throne, saying: 'Amen! Alleluia!'
5 And a voice went out from the throne, saying: 'Express praise to our God, all you his servants, and you who fear him, small and great.'

℟ Locútus est ad me unus ex septem Angelis, dicens: Veni, osténdam tibi novam nuptam, sponsam Agni:

℟ One of the seven Angels spoke to me, saying: Come, I will show you the new bride, the Spouse of the Lamb:

Et vidi Ierúsalem descendéntem de cælo, ornátam monílibus suis, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.

And I saw Jerusalem descending from heaven, adorned with her jewels, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Apo 19:6-10

6 Et audívi quasi vocem turbæ magnæ, et sicut vocem aquárum multárum, et sicut vocem tonitruórum magnórum, dicéntium: Allelúia: quóniam regnávit Dóminus Deus noster omnípotens.
7 Gaudeámus, et exsultémus: et demus glóriam ei: quia venérunt núptiæ Agni, et uxor eius præparávit se.
8 Et datum est illi ut coopériat se býssino splendénti et cándido. Býssinum enim iustificatiónes sunt sanctórum.
9 Et dixit mihi: Scribe: Beáti qui ad cœnam nuptiárum Agni vocáti sunt; et dixit mihi: Hæc verba Dei vera sunt.
10 Et cécidi ante pedes eius, ut adorárem eum. Et dicit mihi: Vide ne féceris: consérvus tuus sum, et fratrum tuórum habéntium testimónium Iesu. Deum adóra. Testimónium enim Iesu est spíritus prophetíæ.

6 And I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of great thunders, saying: 'Alleluia! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has reigned.
7 Let us be glad and exult. And let us give glory to him. For the marriage feast of the Lamb has arrived, and his wife has prepared herself.
8 And it was granted to her that she should cover herself with fine linen, splendid and white. For the fine linen is the justifications of the Saints.
9 And he said to me: Write: Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These words of God are true.
10 And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he said to me: Be careful not to do so. I am your fellow servant, and I am among your brothers, who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is a spirit of prophecy.'

℟ Audívi vocem in cælo Angelórum multórum dicéntium:

℟ I heard in heaven the voice of many Angels saying:

Timéte Dóminum, et date claritátem illi, et adoráte eum, qui fecit cælum et terram, mare et fontes aquárum, allelúia, allelúia.

Fear the Lord, and give glory to him, and adore him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters, alleluia, alleluia.

Apo 19:11-16

11 Et vidi cælum apértum, et ecce equus albus, et qui sedébat super eum, vocabátur Fidélis, et Verax, et cum iustítia iúdicat et pugnat.
12 Oculi autem eius sicut flamma ignis, et in cápite eius diadémata multa, habens nomen scriptum, quod nemo novit nisi ipse.
13 Et vestítus erat veste aspérsa sánguine: et vocátur nomen eius: Verbum Dei.
14 Et exércitus qui sunt in cælo, sequebántur eum in equis albis, vestíti býssino albo et mundo.
15 Et de ore eius procédit gládius ex utráque parte acútus, ut in ipso percútiat gentes. Et ipse reget eas in virga férrea: et ipse calcat tórcular vini furóris iræ Dei omnipoténtis.
16 Et habet in vestiménto et in fémore suo scriptum: Rex regum et Dóminus dominántium.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he who was sitting upon it was called Faithful and True. And with justice does he judge and fight.
12 And his eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, having a name written, which no one knows except himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vestment sprinkled with blood. And his name is called: THE WORD OF GOD.
14 And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And from his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword, so that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with an iron rod. And he treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 And he has on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Nocturn 2

Ant. Deus adiútor * est eórum: et Excélsus redémptor eórum est.

Ant. God * is their helper: and the Most High is their redeemer.

Psalmus 77(32-41)

Psalm 77(32-41)

77:32 In ómnibus his peccavérunt adhuc: * et non credidérunt in mirabílibus eius.
77:33 Et defecérunt in vanitáte dies eórum: * et anni eórum cum festinatióne.
77:34 Cum occíderet eos, quærébant eum: * et revertebántur, et dilúculo veniébant ad eum.
77:35 Et rememoráti sunt quia Deus adiútor est eórum: * et Deus excélsus redémptor eórum est.
77:36 Et dilexérunt eum in ore suo, * et lingua sua mentíti sunt ei.
77:37 Cor autem eórum non erat rectum cum eo: * nec fidéles hábiti sunt in testaménto eius.
77:38 Ipse autem est miséricors, et propítius fiet peccátis eórum: * et non dispérdet eos.
77:38 Et abundávit ut avérteret iram suam: * et non accéndit omnem iram suam:
77:39 Et recordátus est quia caro sunt: * spíritus vadens et non rédiens.
77:40 Quóties exacerbavérunt eum in desérto, * in iram concitavérunt eum in inaquóso?
77:41 Et convérsi sunt, et tentavérunt Deum: * et Sanctum Israël exacerbavérunt.

77:32 In all these things, they continued to sin: * and they were not trustworthy with his miracles.
77:33 And their days faded away into vanity: * and their years with haste.
77:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: * and they returned, and they drew near to him in the early morning.
77:35 And they were mindful that God is their helper: * and that the Most High God is their redeemer.
77:36 And they chose him with their mouth, * and then they lied to him with their tongue.
77:37 For their heart was not upright with him: * nor have they been living faithfully in his covenant.
77:38 Yet he is merciful, and he will pardon their sins: * and he will not destroy them.
77:38 And he has abundantly turned aside his own wrath: * and he did not enflame his wrath entirely:
77:39 And he remembered that they are flesh: * a spirit that goes forth and does not return.
77:40 How often did they provoke him in the desert, * and stir him to wrath in a waterless place?

Psalmus 77(42-58)

Psalm 77(42-58)

77:42 Non sunt recordáti manus eius, * die qua redémit eos de manu tribulántis.
77:43 Sicut pósuit in Ægýpto signa sua, * et prodígia sua in campo Táneos.
77:44 Et convértit in sánguinem flúmina eórum: * et imbres eórum, ne bíberent.
77:45 Misit in eos cœnomyíam, et comédit eos: * et ranam, et dispérdidit eos.
77:46 Et dedit ærúgini fructus eórum: * et labóres eórum locústæ.
77:47 Et occídit in grándine víneas eórum: * et moros eórum in pruína.
77:48 Et trádidit grándini iuménta eórum: * et possessiónem eórum igni.
77:49 Misit in eos iram indignatiónis suæ: * indignatiónem, et iram, et tribulatiónem: immissiónes per ángelos malos.
77:50 Viam fecit sémitæ iræ suæ, non pepércit a morte animábus eórum: * et iuménta eórum in morte conclúsit.
77:51 Et percússit omne primogénitum in terra Ægýpti: * primítias omnis labóris eórum in tabernáculis Cham.
77:52 Et ábstulit sicut oves pópulum suum: * et perdúxit eos tamquam gregem in desérto.
77:53 Et dedúxit eos in spe, et non timuérunt: * et inimícos eórum opéruit mare.
77:54 Et indúxit eos in montem sanctificatiónis suæ: * montem, quem acquisívit déxtera eius.
77:54 Et eiécit a fácie eórum gentes: * et sorte divísit eis terram in funículo distributiónis.
77:55 Et habitáre fecit in tabernáculis eórum: * tribus Israël.
77:56 Et tentavérunt, et exacerbavérunt Deum excélsum: * et testimónia eius non custodiérunt.
77:57 Et avertérunt se, et non servavérunt pactum: * quemádmodum patres eórum convérsi sunt in arcum pravum.
77:58 In iram concitavérunt eum in cóllibus suis: * et in sculptílibus suis ad æmulatiónem eum provocavérunt.

77:42 They did not remember his hand, * in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of the one troubling them.
77:43 Thus he positioned his signs in Egypt, * and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
77:44 And he turned their rivers into blood, * along with their rain showers, so that they could not drink.
77:45 He sent among them the common fly, and it devoured them, * and the frog, and it scattered them.
77:46 And he gave up their fruits to mold, * and their labors to the locust.
77:47 And he slew their vineyards with hail, * and their mulberry trees with severe frost.
77:48 And he delivered their cattle to the hail, * and their possessions to fire.
77:49 And he sent the wrath of his indignation among them: * indignation and wrath and tribulation, sent forth by evil angels.
77:50 He made way for the path of his anger; he did not spare their souls from death: * and he enclosed their beasts of burden in death.
77:51 And he struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt: * the first-fruits of all their labor in the tabernacles of Ham.
77:52 And he took away his own people like sheep, * and he led them through the wilderness like a flock.
77:53 And he led them out in hope, and they did not fear: * and the sea covered their enemies.
77:54 And he led them to the mountain of his sanctification: * the mountain that his right hand had acquired.
77:54 And he cast out the Gentiles before their face: * and he divided their land by lot to them, with a line of distribution.
77:55 And he caused them to dwell in their tabernacles: * the tribes of Israel.
77:56 Yet they tempted and aggravated God Most High: * and they did not keep his testaments.
77:57 And they turned themselves aside, and they did not serve the covenant: * just as their fathers, they were turned backwards like a crooked bow.
77:58 They impelled him to anger on their hills: * and they provoked him to rivalry with their graven images.

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

Psalmus 77(59-72)

Psalm 77(59-72)

77:59 Audívit Deus, et sprevit: * et ad níhilum redégit valde Israël.
77:60 Et répulit tabernáculum Silo: * tabernáculum suum, ubi habitávit in homínibus.
77:61 Et trádidit in captivitátem virtútem eórum: * et pulchritúdinem eórum in manus inimíci.
77:62 Et conclúsit in gládio pópulum suum: * et hereditátem suam sprevit.
77:63 Iúvenes eórum comédit ignis: * et vírgines eórum non sunt lamentátæ.
77:64 Sacerdótes eórum in gládio cecidérunt: * et víduæ eórum non plorabántur.
77:65 Et excitátus est tamquam dórmiens Dóminus: * tamquam potens crapulátus a vino.
77:66 Et percússit inimícos suos in posterióra: * oppróbrium sempitérnum dedit illis.
77:67 Et répulit tabernáculum Ioseph: * et tribum Éphraim non elégit.
77:68 Sed elégit tribum Iuda, * montem Sion quem diléxit.
77:69 Et ædificávit sicut unicórnium sanctifícium suum in terra, * quam fundávit in sǽcula.
77:70 Et elégit David, servum suum, et sústulit eum de grégibus óvium: * de post fœtántes accépit eum,
77:71 Páscere Iacob, servum suum, * et Israël, hereditátem suam:
77:72 Et pavit eos in innocéntia cordis sui: * et in intelléctibus mánuum suárum dedúxit eos.

77:59 God listened, and he spurned them: * and he reduced Israel greatly, almost to nothing.
77:60 And he rejected the tabernacle of Shiloh: * his tabernacle where he had dwelt among men.
77:61 And he delivered their virtue into captivity: * and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
77:62 And he enclosed his people with the sword: * and he spurned his inheritance.
77:63 Fire consumed their young men: * and their virgins were not lamented.
77:64 Their priests fell by the sword: * and their widows did not weep.
77:65 And the Lord was awakened, as if out of sleep: * and like a powerful man impaired by wine.
77:66 And he struck his enemies on the back: * he gave them over to everlasting disgrace.
77:67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: * and he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
77:68 But he chose the tribe of Judah: * mount Zion, which he loved.
77:69 And he built up his sanctuary like a single-horned beast in the land, * which he founded for all ages.
77:70 And he chose his servant David, and he took him from the flocks of the sheep: * he received him from following the ewes with their young,
77:71 in order to pasture Jacob his servant, * and Israel his inheritance.
77:72 And he fed them with the innocence of his heart: * and he led them with the understanding of his hands.

Paschalis Baylon, paupéribus piisque paréntibus in oppido Turris Formosæ, Seguntinæ diœcesis, in Aragónia natus, a téneris annis plura dedit futuræ sanctitátis indicia. Sortítus ánimam bonam ac rerum cæléstium appríme studiosam, puerítiam atque adolescéntiam in gregis custódia transegit; quam ille vivéndi ratiónem ideo præcipue diligebat, quod humilitáti fovendæ ac innocéntiæ conservandæ in primis utilem atque opportunam iudicáret. Erat in victu modicus, in oratióne assiduus, tantáque apud coævos et socios florebat auctoritate et grátia, ut eórum lites compónens, erróres corrigens, ignorantiam erudiens ac desidiam éxcitans, velut ómnium parens et magister máximo studio colerétur ac amarétur: beátus étiam tum a plerisque appellatus.

Paschal Baylon, born of poor and devout parents in the town of Torre Hermosa in the diocese of Sigüenza in Aragon, gave many signs of future holiness from his tenderest years. Blessed with a good soul and supremely devoted to heavenly things, he spent his childhood and youth in the care of flocks — a way of life he loved especially because he judged it most useful and fitting for fostering humility and preserving innocence. He was moderate in food, assiduous in prayer, and so flourished in authority and grace among those of his own age and his companions that, settling their disputes, correcting their errors, instructing their ignorance, and stirring up their sloth, he was cultivated and loved with the greatest devotion as a kind of parent and teacher of them all, and was even then called blessed by many.

℟ Locútus est ad me unus ex septem Angelis, dicens: Veni, osténdam tibi novam nuptam, sponsam Agni:

℟ One of the seven Angels spoke to me, saying: Come, I will show you the new bride, the Spouse of the Lamb:

Et vidi Ierúsalem descendéntem de cælo, ornátam monílibus suis, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.

And I saw Jerusalem descending from heaven, adorned with her jewels, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Et sústulit me in spíritu in montem magnum et altum.

℣ And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain.

℟ Et vidi Ierúsalem descendéntem de cælo, ornátam monílibus suis, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.

Qui vero in sæculo, terra nempe desérta et inaquósa, adeo feliciter adoléverat, flos convallium, plantátus in domo Dómini, mirum ubíque sparsit sanctitátis odórem. Igitur Paschalis arrepto vitæ severioris instituto, atque in ordine Minórum strictioris observantiæ Discalceatórum cooptatus, exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam suam; totumque se Dómino excoléndum tradens, dies noctesque cogitabat, qua se ratióne magis ei magisque conformaret. Ita factum est brevi, ut eum, tamquam seraphicæ perfectiónis exemplar, ipsi quoque provectiores imitándum sibi propónerent. Ipse autem in humili serviéntium gradu constitútus, se velut ómnium peripséma réputans, ardua quæque et abiecta domus ministeria, véluti iure quodam peculiari sibi débita, summa cum hilaritate suscipiebat, et exercebat humilitate ac patiéntia pari. Carnem spiritui quandoque reluctari nitentem iugi maceratióne afflictávit, atque in servitútem redégit; spíritum vero assidua sui abnegatióne ferventiórem in dies ad anterióra extendebat.

He who, in the world—that is, in a dry and waterless land—had flourished so happily, a flower of the valleys planted in the house of the Lord, spread everywhere the wondrous fragrance of holiness. And so Paschal, having embraced the way of a stricter life and been admitted into the Order of Friars Minor of the stricter observance of the Discalced, exulted like a giant to run his course; and giving himself wholly to the Lord to be cultivated, he pondered day and night in what way he might more and more conform himself to him. Thus it quickly came about that even those more advanced in the spiritual life proposed him as a model of seraphic perfection to be imitated. Placed in the humble rank of the servants, regarding himself as the offscouring of all, he embraced with the greatest cheerfulness every arduous and lowly service of the house, as though owed to him by some special right, and exercised them with equal humility and patience. He afflicted with constant mortification the flesh that at times strove to resist the spirit, and reduced it to subjection; while the spirit, through continual self-denial, he stretched forward more fervently day by day toward what lies ahead.

℟ Audívi vocem in cælo Angelórum multórum dicéntium:

℟ I heard in heaven the voice of many Angels saying:

Timéte Dóminum, et date claritátem illi, et adoráte eum, qui fecit cælum et terram, mare et fontes aquárum, allelúia, allelúia.

Fear the Lord, and give glory to him, and adore him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Vidi Angelum Dei fortem, volántem per médium cæli, voce magna clamántem et dicéntem.

℣ I saw a mighty Angel of God, flying through the midst of heaven, crying with a loud voice and saying.

℟ Timéte Dóminum, et date claritátem illi, et adoráte eum, qui fecit cælum et terram, mare et fontes aquárum, allelúia, allelúia.

Deíparam Vírginem, cuius clientelæ se ab ineunte ætate dicáverat, tamquam matrem quotidiánis colebat obsequiis atque filiali exorábat fiducia. Porro erga sanctíssimum Eucharistiæ sacraméntum difficile dictu est quam ardénti tenerétur devotiónis afféctu; quem defunctus étiam in cadávere retinére visus est, dum, iacens in féretro, ad sacræ Hostiæ elevatiónem bis óculos reserávit et clausit, magna ómnium, qui áderant, admiratióne. Eiusdem veritátem inter hæreticos publice palamque proféssus, multa et gravia ob eam causam perpéssus est; crebro étiam ad necem petítus, sed singulari Dei providéntia ab impiórum mánibus ereptus. Sæpe inter orándum ómnibus destituebátur sensibus, dulcique languebat amoris deliquio: quo témpore cælestem illam sciéntiam hausisse créditus est, qua, homo rudis et illiteratus, de mystériis fidei difficillimis respondére, atque áliquot étiam libros conscríbere pótuit. Denique meritis plenus, eádem qua prædixerat hora, feliciter migrávit ad Dóminum, anno salútis millesimo quingentésimo nonagesimo secundo, sexto décimo Kalendas Iunii, eodem, quo natus fuerat, festo Pentecostes recurrente, annum agens secúndum supra quinquagesimum. Quibus aliisque virtútibus insignem, ac miraculis tam in vita quam post mortem clarum, Paulus quintus Pontifex maximus illum Beátum appellávit; Alexander autem octavus Sanctórum catálogo adscripsit; tandem Leo décimus tertius peculiarem cœtuum eucharisticórum, item societátum ómnium a sanctíssima Eucharistia, sive quæ in posterum futuræ sunt, patronum cælestem declarávit et constítuit.

The Virgin Mother of God, to whose service he had dedicated himself from his earliest years, he honored as a mother with daily acts of devotion and implored with filial confidence. Moreover, it is difficult to say with what ardent affection he was held toward the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist; an affection which he seemed to retain even after death in his corpse, for as he lay on the bier, he twice opened and closed his eyes at the elevation of the sacred Host, to the great wonder of all who were present. Having publicly and openly professed the truth of this same Sacrament among heretics, he suffered much and greatly on that account; and frequently sought for death, yet was snatched from the hands of the impious by the singular providence of God. Often in prayer he was deprived of all his senses and languished in a sweet swoon of love; in which time he is believed to have drawn that heavenly knowledge by which, though an unlearned and illiterate man, he was able to answer concerning the most difficult mysteries of the faith, and even to write several books. Finally, full of merits, at the very hour he had foretold, he passed happily to the Lord in the year of salvation fifteen hundred and ninety-two, on the sixteenth day before the Kalends of June, on the same feast of Pentecost on which he had been born, being in his fifty-second year. Pope Paul V, acknowledging him distinguished by these and other virtues, and illustrious by miracles both in life and after death, declared him Blessed; Alexander VIII enrolled him in the catalogue of Saints; and finally Leo XIII declared and established him as the heavenly patron of Eucharistic gatherings and of all societies of the Most Holy Eucharist, whether existing or to come.

℟ Véniens a Líbano quam pulchra facta est, allelúia:

Psalm 78

78:1 Deus, venérunt gentes in hereditátem tuam, polluérunt templum sanctum tuum: * posuérunt Ierúsalem in pomórum custódiam.
78:2 Posuérunt morticína servórum tuórum, escas volatílibus cæli: * carnes sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ.
78:3 Effudérunt sánguinem eórum tamquam aquam in circúitu Ierúsalem: * et non erat qui sepelíret.
78:4 Facti sumus oppróbrium vicínis nostris: * subsannátio et illúsio his, qui in circúitu nostro sunt.
78:5 Úsquequo, Dómine, irascéris in finem: * accendétur velut ignis zelus tuus?
78:6 Effúnde iram tuam in gentes, quæ te non novérunt: * et in regna quæ nomen tuum non invocavérunt:
78:7 Quia comedérunt Iacob: * et locum eius desolavérunt.
78:8 Ne memíneris iniquitátum nostrárum antiquárum, cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ tuæ: * quia páuperes facti sumus nimis.
78:9 Ádiuva nos, Deus, salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos: * et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum:
78:10 Ne forte dicant in géntibus: Ubi est Deus eórum? * et innotéscat in natiónibus coram óculis nostris.
78:10 Últio sánguinis servórum tuórum, qui effúsus est: * intróeat in conspéctu tuo gémitus compeditórum.
78:11 Secúndum magnitúdinem brácchii tui, * pósside fílios mortificatórum.
78:12 Et redde vicínis nostris séptuplum in sinu eórum: * impropérium ipsórum, quod exprobravérunt tibi, Dómine.

78:13 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábimus laudem tuam.

78:1 O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple: * they have set Jerusalem as a place to keep an orchard.
78:2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky: * the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.
78:3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem: * and there was no one who would bury them.
78:4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors: * a mockery and a derision to those who are around us.
78:5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? * Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?
78:6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles who have not known you: * and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
78:7 For they have devoured Jacob: * and they have desolated his place.
78:8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past; may your mercies quickly intercept us: * for we have been made greatly poor.
78:9 Help us, O God, our Savior; and free us, Lord, for the glory of your name: * and be merciful to our sins, for the sake of your name.
78:10 Let them not say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? * and may it become known among the nations before our eyes.
78:10 May the vengeance of the blood of your servants that has been poured out * enter before you as the groaning of those in chains.
78:11 According to the greatness of your arm, * take possession of the sons of those who have been put to death.
78:12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews: * the reproach with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
78:13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: * we will give thanks to you in all ages.
78:13 From generation to generation * we will declare your praise.

80:9 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: * O Israel, if you will hear me, there shall be no new god among you, nor shall you adore a foreign god.
80:11 For I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt: * open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
80:12 But my people did not hear my voice: * and Israel did not heed me.

82:2 Deus, quis símilis erit tibi? * Ne táceas, neque compescáris, Deus.
82:3 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui sonuérunt: * et qui odérunt te extulérunt caput.
82:4 Super pópulum tuum malignavérunt consílium: * et cogitavérunt advérsus sanctos tuos.
82:5 Dixérunt: Veníte, et disperdámus eos de gente: * et non memorétur nomen Israël ultra.
82:6 Quóniam cogitavérunt unanímiter: * simul advérsum te testaméntum disposuérunt, tabernácula Idumæórum et Ismahelítæ:
82:8 Moab, et Agaréni, Gebal, et Ammon, et Ámalec: * alienígenæ cum habitántibus Tyrum.
82:9 Étenim Assur venit cum illis: * facti sunt in adiutórium fíliis Lot.
82:10 Fac illis sicut Mádian, et Sísaræ: * sicut Iabin in torrénte Cisson.
82:11 Disperiérunt in Endor: * facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
82:12 Pone príncipes eórum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, * et Zébee, et Sálmana:
82:13 Omnes príncipes eórum: * qui dixérunt: Hereditáte possideámus Sanctuárium Dei.
82:14 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam: * et sicut stípulam ante fáciem venti.
82:15 Sicut ignis, qui combúrit silvam: * et sicut flamma combúrens montes:
82:16 Ita persequéris illos in tempestáte tua: * et in ira tua turbábis eos.
82:17 Imple fácies eórum ignomínia: * et quærent nomen tuum, Dómine.
82:18 Erubéscant, et conturbéntur in sǽculum sǽculi: * et confundántur, et péreant.
82:19 Et cognóscant quia nomen tibi Dóminus: * tu solus Altíssimus in omni terra.

82:2 O God, who shall be like you? * Be not silent, neither be still, O God.
82:3 For behold, your enemies have made a noise: * and they who hate you have lifted up their head.
82:4 They have devised a malicious counsel against your people: * and they have plotted against your holy ones.
82:5 They have said: Come, and let us destroy them as a nation: * and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
82:6 For they have plotted together with one accord: * they have made a covenant against you— the tents of the Edomites and the Ishmaelites:
82:8 Moab and the Hagarenes, Gebal and Ammon and Amalek: * the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre.
82:9 And Assyria also has come with them: * they have become a help for the sons of Lot.
82:10 Do to them as you did to Midian and to Sisera: * as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.
82:11 They perished at Endor: * they became as dung upon the earth.
82:12 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, * and Zebah and Zalmunna:
82:13 All their princes: * who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God as our inheritance.
82:14 O my God, make them like a wheel, * and like stubble before the face of the wind.
82:15 As fire that burns a forest: * and as a flame burning mountains:
82:16 So shall you pursue them in your storm: * and in your anger you shall trouble them.
82:17 Fill their faces with shame: * and they shall seek your name, O Lord.
82:18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: * and let them be confounded and perish.
82:19 And let them know that the Lord is your name: * you alone are the Most High over all 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.

Ant. Ne táceas Deus quóniam inimíci tui extulérunt caput.

Ant. Be not silent, O God, for your enemies have lifted up their head.

℣ Lex Dei eius in corde ipsíus.

℣ The law of his God is in his heart.

℟ Et non supplantabúntur gressus eius.

℟ And his steps shall not be overthrown.

℣ Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem:

℣ And lead us not into temptation:

℟ Sed líbera nos a malo.

℟ But deliver us from evil.

Absolutio. A vínculis peccatórum nostrórum absólvat nos omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus.

Absolutio. May the almighty and merciful Lord absolve us from the bonds of our sins.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

A Reading from the holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 16:16-22

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Módicum, et iam non vidébitis me; et íterum módicum, et vidébitis me: quia vado ad Patrem. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: A little while, and you will see me no more; and again a little while, and you will see me, because I am going to the Father. And so forth.

A Homily of Saint Augustine, Bishop

Tr. 101 in Ioann., sub fine

Módicum est hoc totum spátium, quo præsens pérvolat sǽculum. Unde dicit idem ipse Evangelísta in Epístola sua: Novíssima hora est. Ideo namque áddidit: Quia vado ad Patrem: quod ad priórem senténtiam referéndum est, ubi ait: Módicum et iam non vidébitis me: non ad posteriórem, ubi ait: Et íterum módicum, et vidébitis me. Eúndo quippe ad Patrem, factúrus erat ut eum non vidérent. Ac per hoc non ídeo dictum est, quia fúerat moritúrus, et donec resúrgeret, ab eórum aspéctibus recessúrus: sed quod esset itúrus ad Patrem, quod fecit posteáquam resurréxit, et cum eis per quadragínta dies conversátus, ascéndit in cælum.

This entire span, in which the present age swiftly passes, is but a little while. Hence the same Evangelist says in his Letter: It is the final hour. He added, therefore: Because I am going to the Father — which is to be referred to the former statement, where he says: A little while and you will see me no more; not to the latter, where he says: And again a little while and you will see me. For by going to the Father, he was about to cause them not to see him. And therefore it was not said because he was about to die and, until he rose again, would withdraw from their sight; but because he was going to the Father — which he did after he rose, and, having conversed with them for forty days, ascended into heaven.

℟ Decantábat pópulus Israël, allelúia: et univérsa multitúdo Iacob canébat legítime:

℟ The people of Israel sang, alleluia: and the whole multitude of Jacob sang in due order:

Et David cum cantóribus cítharam percutiébat in domo Dómini, et laudes Deo canébat, allelúia, allelúia.

And David with the singers struck the harp in the house of the Lord, and sang praises to God, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Sanctificáti sunt ergo sacerdótes et levítæ: et univérsus Israël deducébat arcam fœ́deris Dómini in iúbilo.

℣ The priests and Levites were therefore sanctified: and all Israel led the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation.

℟ Et David cum cantóribus cítharam percutiébat in domo Dómini, et laudes Deo canébat, allelúia, allelúia.

℟ And David with the singers struck the harp in the house of the Lord, and sang praises to 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.

Illis ergo ait: Módicum, et iam non vidébitis me; qui eum corporáliter tunc vidébant: quia itúrus erat ad Patrem, et eum deínceps mortálem visúri non erant, qualem, cum ista loquerétur, vidébant. Quod vero áddidit: Et íterum módicum, et vidébitis me: univérsæ promísit Ecclésiæ, sicut univérsæ promísit: Ecce ego vobíscum sum usque ad consummatiónem sǽculi. Non tardat Dóminus promíssum. Módicum et vidébimus eum: ubi iam nihil rogémus, nihil interrogémus, quia nihil desiderándum remanébit, nihil quæréndum latébit.

He therefore said to them: A little while, and you will no longer see me; — speaking to those who then saw him bodily — because he was about to go to the Father, and they would no longer see him in the mortal state as they saw him when he spoke these words. But what he added — And again a little while, and you will see me — he promised to the entire Church, just as he promised to the entire Church: Behold, I am with you until the end of the age. The Lord does not delay his promise. A little while, and we shall see him: where there shall be nothing left for us to ask, nothing to inquire about, because nothing desirable shall remain hidden, nothing sought shall lie concealed.

℟ Tristítia vestra, allelúia,

℟ Your sorrow, alleluia,

Convertétur in gáudium, allelúia, allelúia.

Shall be turned into joy, alleluia, alleluia.

℣ Mundus autem gaudébit, vos vero contristabímini, sed tristítia vestra.

℣ The world indeed shall rejoice, but you shall be sorrowful; yet your sorrow.

℟ Convertétur in gáudium, allelúia, allelúia.

℟ Shall be turned into joy, 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.

℟ Convertétur in gáudium, allelúia, allelúia.

℟ Shall be turned into joy, 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.

Hoc módicum longum nobis vidétur, quóniam adhuc ágitur; cum finítum fúerit, tunc sentiémus quam módicum fúerit. Non ergo sit gáudium nostrum quale habet mundus, de quo dictum est: Mundus autem gaudébit. Nec tamen in huius desidérii parturitióne sine gáudio tristes simus: sed, sicut ait Apóstolus: Spe gaudéntes: In tribulatióne patiéntes: quia et ipsa partúriens, cui comparáti sumus, plus gaudet de mox futúra prole, quam tristis est de præsénti dolóre. Sed huius sermónis iste sit finis: habent enim quæstiónem molestíssimam, quæ sequúntur: nec brevitáte coarctánda sunt, ut possint commódius, si Dóminus volúerit, explicári.

This little time seems long to us, because it is still passing; when it has ended, then we shall feel how little it was. Therefore let our joy not be such as the world has, of whom it was said: But the world shall rejoice. Nor yet, in the travail of this longing, let us be sad without joy: but, as the Apostle says: Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation: because even the woman in travail, to whom we have been compared, rejoices more at the birth soon to come than she is saddened by the pain of the present moment. But let this be the end of this sermon: for what follows contains a most troublesome question, nor is it to be compressed into brevity, so that, if the Lord wills, it may be more suitably explained.

Te Deum

Te Deum laudámus: * te Dóminum confitémur.
Te ætérnum Patrem * omnis terra venerátur.
Tibi omnes Ángeli, * tibi Cæli, et univérsæ Potestátes:
Tibi Chérubim et Séraphim * incessábili voce proclámant:
(Fit reverentia) Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus * Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
Pleni sunt cæli et terra * maiestátis glóriæ tuæ.
Te gloriósus * Apostolórum chorus,
Te Prophetárum * laudábilis númerus,
Te Mártyrum candidátus * laudat exércitus.
Te per orbem terrárum * sancta confitétur Ecclésia,
Patrem * imménsæ maiestátis;
Venerándum tuum verum * et únicum Fílium;
Sanctum quoque * Paráclitum Spíritum.
Tu Rex glóriæ, * Christe.
Tu Patris * sempitérnus es Fílius.
(Fit reverentia) Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem: * non horruísti Vírginis úterum.
Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem: * non horruísti Vírginis úterum.
Tu, devícto mortis acúleo, * aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.
Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes, * in glória Patris.
Iudex créderis * esse ventúrus.

O God, we praise you; * O Lord, we acclaim you.
Eternal Father, * all the earth reveres you.
To you all the Angels, * the heavens and all the Powers of heaven:
To you the Cherubim and Seraphim * cry out in endless praise:
(A bow is made) Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of hosts;
Heaven and earth are filled * with the majesty of your glory.
The glorious choir of Apostles * sings to you,
the noble company of Prophets * praises you,
the white-robed army of Martyrs * glorifies you.
Holy Church throughout the earth * proclaims you,
the Father * of boundless majesty;
your true and only Son, * worthy of adoration;
and the Holy Spirit, * the Paraclete.
You, O Christ, * are the King of glory.
You are * the Father's everlasting Son.
(A bow is made) When you resolved to save the human race, * you did not spurn the Virgin's womb.
When you resolved to save the human race, * you did not spurn the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of death * and opened the Kingdom of Heaven to those who put their faith in you.
You are seated at the right hand of God * in the glory of the Father.
We believe you are the Judge * who is to come.

(Sequens versus dicitur flexis genibus)

(The following verse is said kneeling)

(Fratres, quando incipiunt « Te ergo quæsumus, » exeuntes e Stallis, reverenter inclinent ad verba « Quos pretioso » et cetera)

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

Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis súbveni, * quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
Ætérna fac cum Sanctis tuis * in glória numerári.
Ætérna fac cum Sanctis tuis * in glória munerári.
Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, * et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
Et rege eos, * et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
Per síngulos dies * benedícimus te.
(Fit reverentia, secundum consuetudinem) Et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, * et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, * et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Dignáre, Dómine, die isto * sine peccáto nos custodíre.
Miserére nostri, Dómine, * miserére nostri.
Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.

And so we beg you, help your servants, * redeemed by your most precious blood.
Number them * among your Saints in eternal glory.
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.
