Semiduplex.
Aperi Dómine os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus: intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Dómine in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, has tibi Horas persólvo.
O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding; kindle my affections, that I may pray to, and praise Thee with attention and devotion; and may worthily be heard before the presence of Thy Divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, in union with that Divine Intention wherewith Thou didst Thyself praise God, while as Thou wast on earth, I offer these Hours unto Thee.
Dicuntur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cœli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos: tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis: ascéndit ad cœlos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell: the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body. And the Life everlasting. Amen.

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: for the Lord will not cast off His people: for in His hand are all the ends of the earth; and the heights of the hills are His also.

Novit Dóminus.
The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous,
Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Novit Dóminus viam justórum, qui in lege ejus meditántur die ac nocte.
The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, who in His Law do meditate day and night.
Mirificávit Dóminus.
The Lord hath set apart for Himself them that are holy,
Psalmus 4.
Cum invocárem exaudívit me Deus justítiæ meæ: * in tribulatióne dilatásti mihi.
2 Miserére mei, * et exaúdi oratiónem meam.
3 Fílii hóminum úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem, et quǽritis mendácium?
4 Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exaúdiet me cum clamávero ad eum.
5 Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.
6 Sacrificáte sacrifícium justítiæ, † et speráte in Dómino. * Multi dicunt: Quis osténdit nobis bona?
7 Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo.
8 A fructu fruménti, vini, et ólei sui * multiplicáti sunt.
9 In pace in idípsum * dórmiam, et requiéscam;
10 Quóniam tu Dómine singuláriter in spe * constituísti me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: * when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.
2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, * they are multiplied.
9 In peace in the selfsame * I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 For thou, O Lord, singularly * hast settled me in hope.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Mirificávit Dóminus Sanctos suos, et exaudívit eos clamántes ad se.
The Lord hath set apart for Himself them that are holy, and when they called, He hath heard them.
Admirábile est.
How excellent is thy Name, O Lord, Who hast crowned thy Saints with glory and honour,
Psalmus 8.
Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
2 Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua, * super cœlos.
3 Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.
4 Quóniam vidébo cœlos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum: * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti.
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum?
6 Minuísti eum paulo minus ab Angelis, glória et honóre coronásti eum: * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
7 Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas: ínsuper et pécora campi.
8 Vólucres cœli, et pisces maris, * qui perámbulant sémitas maris.
9 Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
2 For thy magnificence is elevated * above the heavens.
3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, * that pass through the paths of the sea.
9 O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Admirábile est nomen tuum Dómine: quia glória et honóre coronásti Sanctos tuos, et constituísti eos super ópera mánuum tuárum.

De Ezechiéle Prophéta.
Lesson from the book of Ezekiel
Ezech. 7.
Et factus est sermo Dómini ad me, dicens: Et tu fili hóminis, hæc dicit Dóminus Deus terræ Israël: Finis venit, venit finis super quátuor plagas terræ. Nunc finis super te, et immíttam furórem meum in te: et judicábo te juxta vias tuas: et ponam contra te omnes abominatiónes tuas. Et non parcet óculus meus super te, et non miserébor: sed vias tuas ponam super te, et abominatiónes tuæ in médio tui erunt: et sciétis quia ego Dóminus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: And thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is come, the end is come upon the four quarters of the land. Now is an end come upon thee, and I will send my wrath upon thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways: and I will set all thy abominations against thee. And my eye shall not spare thee, and I will shew thee no pity: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Afflíctio una, afflíctio ecce venit. Finis venit, venit finis, evigilávit advérsum te: ecce venit. Venit contrítio super te, qui hábitas in terra: venit tempus, prope est dies occisiónis, et non glóriæ móntium. Nunc de propínquo effúndam iram meam super te, et complébo furórem meum in te: et judicábo te juxta vias tuas, et impónam tibi ómnia scélera tua: Et non parcet óculus meus, nec miserébor, sed vias tuas impónam tibi, et abominatiónes tuæ in médio tui erunt: et sciétis quia ego sum Dóminus percútiens.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Thus saith the Lord God: One affliction, behold an affliction is come. An end is come, the end is come, it hath awaked against thee: behold it is come. Destruction is come upon thee that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of slaughter is near, and not of the joy of mountains. Now very shortly I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I will accomplish my anger in thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy crimes. And my eye shall not spare, neither will I shew mercy: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Ecce dies, ecce venit: egréssa est contrítio, flóruit virga, germinávit supérbia: Iníquitas surréxit in virga impietátis: non ex eis, et non ex pópulo, neque ex sónitu eórum: et non erit réquies in eis. Venit tempus, appropinquávit dies: qui emit, non lætétur: et qui vendit, non lúgeat: quia ira super omnem pópulum ejus. Quia qui vendit, ad id, quod véndidit, non revertétur, et adhuc in vivéntibus vita eórum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Behold the day, behold it is come: destruction is gone forth, the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Iniquity is risen up into a rod of impiety: nothing of them shall remain, nor of their people, nor of the noise of them: and there shall be no rest among them. The time is come, the day is at hand: let not the buyer rejoice: nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the people thereof. For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 14.
Dómine quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * aut quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
3 Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
4 Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
5 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
6 Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.
7 Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:
4 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
5 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
6 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
7 He that doth these things * shall not be moved for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Dómine, qui operáti sunt justítiam, habitábunt in tabernáculo tuo, et requiéscent in monte sancto tuo.

3 Quis ascéndet in montem Dómini? * aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; * and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: * or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, † who hath not taken his soul in vain, * nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, * of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? † the Lord who is strong and mighty: * the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
10 Who is this King of Glory? * the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.

Lætámini in Dómino,
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous,
Psalmus 31.
Beáti quorum remíssæ sunt iniquitátes: * et quorum tecta sunt peccáta.
2 Beátus vir, cui non imputávit Dóminus peccátum, * nec est in spíritu ejus dolus.
3 Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum clamárem tota die.
4 Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua: * convérsus sum in ærúmna mea, dum confígitur spina.
5 Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et injustítiam meam non abscóndi.
6 Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me injustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.
7 Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno.
8 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.
9 Tu es refúgium meum a tribulatióne, quæ circúmdedit me: * exsultátio mea érue me a circumdántibus me.
10 Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos.
11 Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus.
12 In camo et fræno maxíllas eórum constrínge, * qui non appróximant ad te.
13 Multa flagélla peccatóris, * sperántem autem in Dómino misericórdia circúmdabit.
14 Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte justi, * et gloriámini omnes recti corde.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, * and whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Because I was silent my bones grew old; * whilst I cried out all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: * I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, * and my injustice I have not concealed.
6 I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
7 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee * in a seasonable time.
8 And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come nigh unto him.
9 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
10 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: * I will fix my eyes upon thee.
11 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * who have no understanding.
12 With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, * who come not near unto thee.
13 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
14 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, * and glory, all ye right of heart.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

From the Sermons of the Venerable Bede, Priest (at Jarrow.)
Ex Sermone 18. de Sanctis.
Ad hanc ígitur óperum salutárium deléctet nos perveníre palmam. Libénter ac prompte certémus, omnes in agóne justítiæ Deo et Christo spectánte currámus; et qui sǽculo et mundo majóres esse jam cœ́pimus, cursum nostrum nulla sǽculi cupiditáte tardémus. Si expedítos, si céleres in óperis agóne curréntes dies nos últimus invénerit, nusquam Dóminus méritis nostris déerit remunerátor.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Therefore, may it be our delight to go on unto this prize of good living. Freely and cheerfully let us strive in the race, running under the eyes of God and of Christ. We have already taken a station above floating and earthly things, and let us allow no love for things fleeting to hamper our running. If the last day shall find us lithe and speedful in the race of good living, we shall never have to complain that our Master is a scanty rewarder of our works.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Qui corónam in persecutióne purpúream pro passióne donábit, ipse in pace vincéntibus pro justítiæ méritis dabit et cándidam. Nam nec Abraham, nec Isaac, nec Jacob occísi sunt; et tamen fídei et justítiæ méritis honoráti inter patriárchas primi esse meruérunt: ad quorum congregátur convívium quisquis fidélis, et justus, et laudábilis invenítur. Mémores esse debémus, voluntátem non nostram, sed Dei fácere debére: quia qui fécerit ejus voluntátem, manet in ætérnum, quo modo et ille manet in ætérnum.

℟. Deo grátias.
That giveth a red crown for suffering under persecution, the same giveth a white crown to them that under peace, prevail in battles of righteousness. Neither Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob, were slain, and nevertheless in honour for faith and righteousness, they have gained the first place among the Patriarchs, and it is to sit down with them in the kingdom of God that are gathered the faithful, the righteous, and the praiseworthy. We must remember that it is God's will, and not our own will, that we must do, for he that doeth His will abideth for ever, even as He abideth for ever.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: * semper laus ejus in ore meo.

3 Magnificáte Dóminum mecum: * et exaltémus nomen ejus in idípsum.

10 Dívites eguérunt et esuriérunt: * inquiréntes autem Dóminum non minuéntur omni bono.
11 Veníte fílii audíte me: * timórem Dómini docébo vos.
12 Quis est homo qui vult vitam: * díligit dies vidére bonos?
13 Próhibe linguam tuam a malo: * et lábia tua ne loquántur dolum.
14 Divérte a malo, et fac bonum: * inquíre pacem, et perséquere eam.
15 Oculi Dómini super justos: * et aures ejus in preces eórum.
16 Vultus autem Dómini super faciéntes mala: * ut perdat de terra memóriam eórum.
17 Clamavérunt justi, et Dóminus exaudívit eos: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.
18 Juxta est Dóminus iis, qui tribuláto sunt corde: * et húmiles spíritu salvábit.
19 Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
20 Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: * unum ex his non conterétur.
21 Mors peccatórum péssima: * et qui odérunt justum, delínquent.
22 Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: * et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.

5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: * and your faces shall not be confounded.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: * and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: * and shall deliver them.
8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: * blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: * for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: * but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 Come, children, hearken to me: * I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man that desireth life: * who loveth to see good days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, * and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Turn away from evil and do good: * seek after peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: * and his ears unto their prayers.
16 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: * to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: * and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: * and he will save the humble of spirit.

3 Thou hast conducted me; for thou hast been my hope; * a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.
4 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: * I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.
5 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: * thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: * his years even to generation and generation.
7 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: * his mercy and truth who shall search?
8 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: * that I may pay my vows from day to day.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: * justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 A fire shall go before him, * and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: * the earth saw and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens declared his justice: * and all people saw his glory.
7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, * and that glory in their idols.
8 Adore him, all you his angels: * Sion heard, and was glad.
9 And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, * because of thy judgments, O Lord.

De Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop (of Hippo.)
Ex Lib. 1. de Serm. Domini in monte. Cap. 3. et 4.
Itaque in hoc tértio gradu, in quo sciéntia est, lugétur amíssio summi boni, quia inhærétur extrémis. In quarto autem gradu labor est: ubi veheménter incúmbitur, ut sese ánimus avéllat ab eis quibus pestífera dulcédine innéxus est. Hic ergo esurítur et sitítur justítia, et multum necessária est fortitúdo: quia non relínquitur sine dolóre, quod cum delectatióne retinétur. Quinto autem gradu perseverántibus in labóre datur evadéndi consílium: quia, nisi quisque adjuvétur a superióre, nullo modo sibi est idóneus, ut sese tantis miseriárum implicaméntis expédiat. Est autem justum consílium, ut qui se a potentióri adjuvári vult, ádjuvet et infirmiórem, in quo est ipse poténtior. Itaque, Beáti misericórdes: quia ipsórum miserébitur Deus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
First, Blessed are the poor in spirit. Secondly, Blessed are the meek. Thirdly, Blessed are they that mourn. They that are blessed under this third head, having knowledge, do mourn that they possess not yet the Highest Good, which possession belongeth unto the end of their course. But in the fourth place, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness. Here there is that earnest striving, wherewith the mind doth struggle to tear herself away from those things whose deathful sweetness would make her fain to cling unto them. Here is hungering and thirsting after righteousness, and there is sore need of firmness, for what it is a joy to have, it must be a grief to lose. But the fifth head is the declaration that Blessed are the merciful, and in these words a door of comfort and reward is opened unto the toiling. Entangled in such straits a man can be of no use to himself, unless One That is stronger than he help him; and if he be helped of the Stronger, it is but just that he in turn should help such as is weaker than himself. And so, Blessed are the merciful, for, in their turn, they shall obtain mercy from God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Octáva tamquam ad caput redit, quia consummátum perfectúmque osténdit et probat. Itaque in prima et in octáva nominátum est regnum cœlórum: Beáti paúperes spíritu: quóniam ipsórum est regnum cœlórum; et, Beáti qui persecutiónem patiúntur propter justítiam: quóniam ipsórum est regnum cœlórum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Blessed are the pure in heart. This sixth benediction is pronounced upon those hearts which by pure, clear consciousness of good works are able to look to that Highest Good, Which only the clear, calm mind can perceive. Lastly cometh in the seventh place that Blessed are the peacemakers, that is to say, blessed are they who cultivate wisdom, which is the contemplation of the True, since it is the fruit of this contemplation of the True to produce profound and utter internal peace in man, and to catch the reflection of the Divine, this being the idea which is expressed in the words: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. The eighth phrase is a return to the first, since it showeth lowliness of spirit in its aspect of completion and crowning; and thence the kingdom of heaven is the reward mentioned in both places. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Cum jam dícitur: Quis nos separábit a caritáte Christi? Tribulátio, an angústia, an persecútio, an fames, an núditas, an perículum, an gládius? Septem sunt ergo, quæ perfíciunt: nam octáva claríficat, et quod perféctum est, demónstrat, ut per hos gradus perficiántur et céteri, tamquam a cápite rursum exórdiens. Vidétur ergo mihi étiam septifórmis operátio Spíritus sancti, de qua Isaías lóquitur, his grádibus sententiísque congrúere. Sed ínterest órdinis: nam ibi enumerátio ab excellentióribus cœpit, hic vero ab inferióribus. Ibi namque íncipit a sapiéntia Dei, et désinit ad timórem Dei: sed inítium sapiéntiæ timor Dómini est.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Paul saith Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? There are therefore seven things which bring to perfection, for the eighth is the glorification and manifestation of that which is perfected, that from this head others again may begin, and be finished. It seemeth to me also that these heads and sayings have some connection with the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost whereof Isaiah speaketh. But there is a difference of order, for there the highest is taken first, but here the lowest; there the wisdom of God, but here the fear of God, but the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father:
We believe that Thou shalt come * to be our Judge:
We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants, * whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints * in glory everlasting.

Psalmus 62.
Deus Deus meus * ad te de luce vígilo.
2 Sitívit in te ánima mea, * quam multiplíciter tibi caro mea.
3 In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: * sic in sancto appárui tibi, ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam.
4 Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas: * lábia mea laudábunt te.
5 Sic benedícam te in vita mea: * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
6 Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea: * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
7 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutínis meditábor in te: * quia fuísti adjútor meus.
8 Et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo, adhǽsit ánima mea post te: * me suscépit déxtera tua.
9 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsiérunt ánimam meam, introíbunt in inferióra terræ: * tradéntur in manus gládii, partes vúlpium erunt.

O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at break of day.
2 For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: * so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.
8 And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: * thy right hand hath received me.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
10 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: * because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
1 May God have mercy on us, and bless us: * may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
2 That we may know thy way upon earth: * thy salvation in all nations.
3 Let people confess to thee, O God: * let all people give praise to thee.
4 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: * for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
5 Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: * the earth hath yielded her fruit.
6 May God, our God bless us, may God bless us: * and all the ends of the earth fear him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Benedíctus ✠ Dóminus Deus Israël, * quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, * for He hath visited and redeemed His people.
2 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us, * in the house of His servant David:
3 As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began:
4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
5 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, * and to remember His holy covenant:
6 The oath which He sware to our father Abraham, * that He would grant unto us,
7 That we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, * might serve Him without fear,
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people, * by the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
