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.

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.

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.

12 Quia misericórdiam, et veritátem díligit Deus: * grátiam et glóriam dabit Dóminus.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! * My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord.

5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: * they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: * in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, in the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.
7 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: * the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: * give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Behold, O God our protector: * and look on the face of thy Christ.
10 For better is one day in thy courts * above thousands.

13 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: * O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: * et ipse fundávit eam Altíssimus?
6 Dóminus narrábit in scriptúris populórum, et príncipum: * horum, qui fuérunt in ea.

The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains: * The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.
3 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.
4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her: * and the Highest himself hath founded her?
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.
7 The dwelling in thee * is as it were of all rejoicing.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Psalmus 87.
Dómine Deus salútis meæ: * in die clamávi, et nocte coram te.
2 Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:
3 Quia repléta est malis ánima mea: * et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.
4 Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum: * factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.
5 Sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlchris, quorum non es memor ámplius: * et ipsi de manu tua repúlsi sunt.
6 Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri: * in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.
7 Super me confirmátus est furor tuus: * et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.
8 Longe fecísti notos meos a me: * posuérunt me abominatiónem sibi.
9 Tráditus sum, et non egrediébar: * óculi mei languérunt præ inópia.
10 Clamávi ad te Dómine tota die: * expándi ad te manus meas.
11 Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: * aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?
12 Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlchro misericórdiam tuam, * et veritátem tuam in perditióne?
13 Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua: * et justítia tua in terra obliviónis?
14 Et ego ad te Dómine clamávi: * et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.
15 Ut quid Dómine repéllis oratiónem meam: * avértis fáciem tuam a me?
16 Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a juventúte mea: * exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.
17 In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: * et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.
18 Circumdedérunt me sicut aqua tota die: * circumdedérunt me simul.
19 Elongásti a me amícum et próximum: * et notos meos a miséria.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

O Lord, the God of my salvation: * I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
2 Let my prayer come in before thee: * incline thy ear to my petition.
3 For my soul is filled with evils: * and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
4 I am counted among them that go down to the pit: * I am become as a man without help, free among the dead.
5 Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: * and they are cast off from thy hand.
6 They have laid me in the lower pit: * in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
7 Thy wrath is strong over me: * and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
8 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: * they have set me an abomination to themselves.
9 I was delivered up, and came not forth: * My eyes languished through poverty.
10 All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: * I stretched out my hands to thee.
11 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? * or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
12 Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: * and thy truth in destruction?
13 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
14 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: * and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
15 Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: * why turnest thou away thy face from me?
16 I am poor, and in labours from my youth: * and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
17 Thy wrath hath come upon me: * and thy terrors have troubled me.
18 They have come round about me like water all the day: * they have compassed me about together.
19 Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: * and my acquaintance, because of misery.
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.

Ex locis sacris quæ olim apud Christiános veneratiónem habuérunt, illa celebérrima et frequentíssima fuérunt, in quibus cóndita sanctórum córpora, vel áliquod Mártyrum vestígium aut monuméntum esset. In quorum número sanctórum locórum, in primis semper fuit insígnis ea Vaticáni pars, quam sancti Petri Confessiónem appellábant.

℟. Deo grátias.
Among the hallowed places which have from of old time been held in honour among Christians, the most famous and sought after were those where the bodies of the Saints were buried, or where there was some trace or token of the Martyrs. Among these spots so hallowed hath been ever among the most noteworthy that place on the Vatican Hill which is called the Confession of St. Peter. Thither Christians do come from all parts of the earth as unto the rock of faith and the foundation-stone of the Church, and surround with godly reverence and love the spot hallowed by the grave of the Prince of the Apostles.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Illuc Constantínus Magnus imperátor octávo die post suscéptum baptísmum venit, depositóque diadémate, et humi jacens, vim lacrimárum profúdit: mox sumpto ligóne ac bidénte, terram éruit: índeque duódecim terræ cóphinis, honóris causa duódecim Apostolórum, ablátis, ac loco basílicæ Príncipis Apostolórum designáto, ecclésiam ædificávit. Quam sanctus Silvéster Papa décimo quarto Kaléndas Decémbris, eo modo quo Lateranénsem ecclésiam quinto Idus Novémbris consecráverat, dedicávit: et in ea altáre lapídeum chrísmate delibútum eréxit; atque ex eo témpore sancívit, ne deínceps altária nisi ex lápide fíerent. Idem beátus Silvéster basílicam sancti Pauli Apóstoli in via Ostiénsi ab eódem Constantíno imperatóre magnificentíssime ædificátam dedicávit. Quas basílicas idem imperátor multis prǽdiis attribútis locupletávit, ac munéribus amplíssimis exornávit.

℟. Deo grátias.
Whither came the Emperor Constantine the Great upon the eighth day after his Baptism, and, taking off his crown, cast himself down upon the ground, and wept abundantly. Then presently he took a spade and pick-axe, and began to break up the earth, whereof he carried away twelve baskets-full in honour of the twelve Apostles, and built a Church upon that spot, appointed for the Cathedral Church of the Prince of the Apostles. This Church was hallowed by holy Pope Sylvester upon the 18th day of November, in like manner as he had hallowed the Church of the Lateran upon the 9th day of the same month. In this Church did the Pope set up an altar of stone, and pour ointment thereon, and ordain that from thenceforth no altars should be set up, save of stone. The same Emperor Constantine likewise built a very stately Church upon the road to Ostia, in honour of the holy Apostle Paul, which Church also was hallowed by the blessed Sylvester. These Churches the Emperor enriched by grants of much land, and adorned with exceedingly rich gifts.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

℟. Deo grátias.
The Church of St. Peter upon the Vatican fell in course of time to ruins, and having been rebuilt from the foundations, enlarged and garnished, by the zeal of many Popes, was solemnly consecrated anew by Urban VIII, upon the same day, in the year 1628. The Church of St. Paul upon the road to Ostia was almost entirely consumed by fire in the year 1823, but was rebuilt in a more splendid form and, as it were, raised from the dead, by the unwearied zeal of four successive Popes. In the year 1854 Pius IX seized the happy occasion when the doctrine concerning the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, which he had just set forth, had drawn together to Rome a great multitude of Cardinals and Bishops from all quarters of the Catholic world, solemnly to dedicate this new Church in their presence upon the 10th day of December in the year aforesaid; but he decreed that the yearly Feast in honour of that dedication should be kept upon this day, being the same as that of the Dedication of the Church of St. Peter.

℟. Deo grátias.
If we would be truly wise, and behold wisdom herself, we must humbly acknowledge ourselves to be fools. Let us cast away harmful wisdom, and learn praiseworthy folly. For this reason indeed is it written: God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And again it is said: If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. And unto this doth the very Gospel bear witness, herein it is said that Zacchæus sought to see Jesus, Who He was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him; for He was to pass that way. For this name Sycamore, being interpreted, signifieth the Foolish Fig.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Domus mea, domus oratiónis vocábitur, dicit Dóminus: in ea omnis qui petit, áccipit; et qui quærit, ínvenit: * Et pulsánti aperiétur.
℣. Pétite, et accipiétis: quǽeite, et inveniétis.
℟. Et pulsánti aperiétur.
℟. My house shall be called the house of prayer, saith the Lord. Therein, he that asketh, receiveth; he that seeketh, findeth; * And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
℣. Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find.
℟. And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

Pusíllus ítaque Zachǽus sycómorum súbiit, et Dóminum vidit: quia qui mundi stultítiam humíliter éligunt, ipsi Dei sapiéntiam subtíliter contemplántur. Pusillitátem namque nostram ad vidéndum Dóminum turba prǽpedit: quia infirmitátem humánæ mentis, ne lucem veritátis inténdat, curárum sæculárium tumúltus premit. Sed prudénter sycómorum ascéndimus, si próvide eam quæ divínitus præcípitur, stultítiam mente tenémus. Quid enim in hoc mundo stúltius quam amíssa non quǽrere, posséssa rapiéntibus relaxáre, nullam pro accéptis injúriis injúriam réddere, imo adjúnctis áliis patiéntiam præbére?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Little Zacchæus therefore accepted the humiliation of having recourse to the sycamore, and saw the Lord. They who humbly choose to be fools in the estimation of the world, have a deep insight into the wisdom of God. The press standeth in our way, on account of our little stature, when we are fain to see the Lord; for the toilsome din of worldly business tormenteth our weak minds, so as to hinder our perceiving the light of the truth. But we climb up wisely into the sycamore tree, if we willingly give up our minds to that folly which God giveth unto us. What can be more utter folly (in this world) than not to seek for that we have lost, to leave that whereof we have been robbed in the hands of our despoilers, to take no revenge for wrongs which have been done us, yea, even to offer to him that taketh away our cloak, our coat also, and be patient?
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VIII.
℟. Lápides pretiósi omnes muri tui: * Et turres Jerúsalem gemmis ædificabúntur.

Quasi enim sycómorum nos ascéndere Dóminus prǽcipit, cum dicit: Qui aufert quæ tua sunt, ne répetas. Et rursum: Si quis te percússerit in déxteram maxíllam, præbe illi et álteram. Per sycómorum Dóminus tránsiens cérnitur: quia per hanc sapiéntem stultítiam, etsi necdum, ut est, sólide, jam tamen per contemplatiónis lumen Dei sapiéntia quasi in tránsitu vidétur, quam vidére néqueunt qui sibi sapiéntes esse vidéntur: quia ad conspiciéndum Dóminum, in eláta cogitatiónum suárum turba deprehénsi, adhuc sycómori árborem non invenérunt.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The Lord biddeth us, as it were, to climb up into the sycamore, where He saith: Of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again. And again: Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. From the boughs of this sycamore tree, the Lord is seen passing by. He may indeed, as yet, not be seen face to Face, but by this wise folly the inward eye may see the Wisdom of God, as it were, passing by, even that Wisdom Which they that are wise in their own conceit cannot see. They are mixed up in the overbearing press of their own imaginations, and have not yet found the sycamore tree whereinto to climb up, if they would see the Lord.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

We believe that Thou shalt come * to be our Judge:

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.

Benedíctus ✠ Dóminus Deus Israël, * quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:
2 Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: * in domo David púeri sui.
3 Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum ejus:
4 Salútem ex inimícis nostris, * et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos:
5 Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris: * et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
6 Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, * datúrum se nobis:
7 Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, * serviámus illi.
8 In sanctitáte, et justítia coram ipso, * ómnibus diébus nostris.
9 Et tu puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: * præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias ejus:
10 Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi ejus: * in remissiónem peccatórum eórum:
11 Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri: * in quibus visitávit nos, óriens ex alto:
12 Illumináre his, qui in ténebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: * ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

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.
