Die 10 Martii 2026.
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.
Deinde clara voce:
℣. Dómine, †︎ lábia mea apéries.

Make haste, O God, to deliver me.
Make haste to help me, O Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Praise to Thee be given Lord, King of eternal glory.

Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit.
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.
Veníte, adorémus.
O come, let us worship Him!
Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus ejus: (Flexis genibus) veníte adorémus, et procidámus ante Deum: plorémus coram Dómino, qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dóminus Deus noster: nos autem pópulus ejus, et oves páscuæ ejus.
For the sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land: O come, let us worship and fall down; let us cry unto the Lord our Maker. For He is the Lord our God; and we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

To-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart; as in in the Provocation, and as in the day of Temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works.
Veníte, adorémus.
O come, let us worship Him!
Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi, Semper hi errant corde: ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas, quibus jurávi in ira mea, si introíbunt in réquiem meam.
Forty years long was I grieved with that generation and said, It is a people that do alway err in their heart, and they have not known My ways: unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.

Christo profúsum sánguinem,

Lætis sequámur vócibus.
Terróre victo sǽculi,
Pœnísque spretis córporis,

Vitam beátam póssident.
Tradúntur igni Mártyres,
Et bestiárum déntibus:
Armáta sævit úngulis

Nudáta pendent víscera,
Sanguis sacrátus fúnditur:
Sed pérmanent immóbiles

Te nunc Redémptor quǽsumus,
Ut Mártyrum consórtio

In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
Secus decúrsus aquárum.
By the rivers of water.
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.
Secus decúrsus aquárum plantávit víneam justórum, et in lege Dómini fuit volúntas eórum.
By the rivers of water hath the Lord planted the vineyard of the righteous, and in His Law do they meditate day and night.
Tamquam aurum.
As gold.
Psalmus 2.
Quare fremuérunt Gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
4 Qui hábitat in cœlis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hæreditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
10 Et nunc reges intellígite: * erudímini qui judicátis terram.
11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
12 Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.
13 Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus, * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in 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.
Tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit eléctos Dóminus: et quasi holocaústa accépit eos in ætérnum.
As gold in the furnace, hath the Lord tried His chosen ones, and received them for ever as a holocaust.
Si coram homínibus.
Though in the sight of men,
Psalmus 3.
Dómine quid multiplicáti sunt qui tríbulant me? * multi insúrgunt advérsum me.
2 Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
3 Tu autem Dómine suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.
4 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaúdivit me de monte sancto suo.
5 Ego dormívi, et soporátus sum: * et exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.
6 Non timébo míllia pópuli circumdántis me: * exsúrge Dómine salvum me fac, Deus meus.
7 Quóniam tu percussísti omnes adversántes mihi sine causa: * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.
8 Dómini est salus: * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
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.
Si coram homínibus torménta passi sunt, spes electórum est immortális in ætérnum.
Though in the sight of men, the elect be punished, yet is their hope full of immortality.

De Epístola beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános.
A Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans.
Rom. 8. c.
Fratres: Debitóres sumus non carni, ut secúndum carnem vivámus. Si enim secúndum carnem vixéritis, moriémini: si autem spíritu facta carnis mortificavéritis, vivétis. Quicúmque enim spíritu Dei agúntur, ii sunt fílii Dei. Non enim accepístis spíritum servitútis íterum in timóre, sed accepístis spíritum adoptiónis filiórum, in quo clamámus: Abba (Pater). Ipse enim Spíritus testimónium reddit spirítui nostro, quod sumus fílii Dei. Si autem fílii, et hærédes: hærédes quidem Dei, cohærédes autem Christi: si tamen compátimur, ut et conglorificémur. Exístimo enim quod non sunt condígnæ passiónes hujus témporis ad futúram glóriam, quæ revelábitur in nobis. Nam exspectátio creatúræ revelatiónem filiórum Dei exspéctat.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry: Abba! (Father.) For the Spirit Itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium I.
℟. Abstérget Deus omnem lácrimam ab óculis sanctórum: et jam non erit ámplius neque luctus, neque clamor, sed nec ullus dolor: * Quóniam prióra transiérunt.
℣. Non esúriunt, neque sítient ámplius, neque cadet super illos sol, neque ullus æstus.
℟. Quóniam prióra transiérunt.
℟. God shall wipe away all tears from the eyes of His Saints, and there shall be no more sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; * for the former things are passed away.
℣. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
℟. For the former things are passed away.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Unigénitus Dei Fílius * nos benedícere et adjuváre dignétur.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the Son, the Sole-begotten, * mercifully bless and keep us.
Amen.
Scimus autem quóniam diligéntibus Deum ómnia cooperántur in bonum, iis, qui secúndum propósitum vocáti sunt sancti. Nam quos præscívit, et prædestinávit confórmes fíeri imáginis Fílii sui, ut sit ipse primogénitus in multis frátribus. Quos autem prædestinávit, hos et vocávit: et quos vocávit, hos et justificávit: quos autem justificávit, illos et glorificávit. Quid ergo dicémus ad hæc? Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos? Qui étiam próprio Fílio suo non pepércit, sed pro nobis ómnibus trádidit illum: quómodo non étiam cum illo ómnia nobis donávit? Quis accusábit advérsus eléctos Dei? Deus qui justíficat, quis est qui condémnet? Christus Jesus, qui mórtuus est, imo qui et resurréxit, qui est ad déxteram Dei, qui étiam interpéllat pro nobis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called to be Saints, according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the First-born among many brethren. Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He That spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect ? It is God That justifieth. Who is He that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus, That died, yea, rather, That is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium II.
℟. Viri sancti gloriósum sánguinem fudérunt pro Dómino, amavérunt Christum in vita sua, imitáti sunt eum in morte sua: * Et ídeo corónas triumpháles meruérunt.
℣. Unus spíritus, et una fides erat in eis.
℟. Et ídeo corónas triumpháles meruérunt.
℟. These men are holy, who have gloriously shed their blood for the Lord's sake, yea, who loved Christ in their lives, and were made like unto Him in their flesh, * and therefore they have earned crowns of victory.
℣. One spirit, and one faith was in them.
℟. And therefore they have earned crowns of victory.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Spíritus sancti grátia * illúminet sensus et corda nostra.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the grace of God the Spirit * all our heart and mind enlighten.
Amen.
Quis ergo nos separábit a caritáte Christi? tribulátio, an angústia, an fames, an núditas, an perículum, an persecútio, an gládius? (sicut scriptum est: Quia propter te mortificámur tota die: æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.) Sed in his ómnibus superámus propter eum, qui diléxit nos. Certus sum enim quia neque mors, neque vita, neque Angeli, neque Principátus, neque Virtútes, neque instántia, neque futúra, neque fortitúdo, neque altitúdo, neque profúndum, neque creatúra ália póterit nos separáre a caritáte Dei, quæ est in Christo Jesu Dómino nostro.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or persecution, or sword? As it is written: For Thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through Him That loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium III.
℟. Tradidérunt córpora sua propter Deum ad supplícia: * Et meruérunt habére corónas perpétuas.
℣. Isti sunt qui venérunt ex magna tribulatióne, et lavérunt stolas suas in sánguine Agni.
℟. Et meruérunt habére corónas perpétuas.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui sancto.
℟. Et meruérunt habére corónas perpétuas.
℟. They gave their bodies for God's sake to death; * and gained the everlasting crown.
℣. These are they which came out of that great tribulation, and have washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb.
℟. And gained the everlasting crown.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And gained the everlasting crown.
Dabo sanctis meis.
I will give unto My Saints.
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.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
Dabo sanctis meis locum nominátum in regno Patris mei, dicit Dóminus.
I will give unto My Saints a place in the kingdom of My Father, every one by his own name, saith the Lord.
Sanctis, qui in terra sunt ejus,
To the Saints that are in the earth.
Psalmus 15.
Consérva me Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. * Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.
2 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.
3 Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.
4 Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.
5 Dóminus pars hæreditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hæreditátem meam mihi.
6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim hæréditas mea præclára est mihi.
7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
11 Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: * at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
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.

Psalmus 23.
Dómini est terra, et plenitúdo ejus: * orbis terrárum, et univérsi qui hábitant in eo.

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.

Licínio imperatóre, et Agricoláo prǽside, ad Sebásten Arméniæ urbem, quadragínta mílitum fides in Jesum Christum, et fortitúdo in cruciátibus perferéndis enítuit. Qui sǽpius in horríbilem cárcerem detrúsi, vinculísque constrícti, cum ora ipsórum lapídibus contúsa fuíssent, híemis témpore frigidíssimo, nudi sub apérto áëre supra stagnum rigens pernoctáre jussi sunt, ut frígore congeláti necaréntur. Una autem erat ómnium orátio: Quadragínta in stádium ingréssi sumus, quadragínta item Dómine coróna donémur, ne una quidem huic número desit. Est in honóre hic númerus, quem tu quadragínta diérum jejúnio decorásti, per quem divína lex ingréssa est in orbem terrárum.

℟. Deo grátias.
While Licinius was Emperor and Agricolaus President, (in the year of our Lord 320,) forty soldiers at Sebaste, a city of Armenia, gave a singular instance of faith in Jesus Christ, and bravery under suffering. After being often remanded to an horrid prison-house, bound in fetters, and their mouths bruised with stones, they were ordered out in the depth of winter, stripped naked, and put upon a frozen pool, to die of cold during the night. The prayer of them all was the same O Lord, forty of us have begun to run in the race, grant that all forty may receive the crown, let not one be wanting at the last. Behold, is it not an honourable number in thy sight, Who didst bless the fast of forty days, and at the end thy Divine Law came forth to the earth? When also Elias sought thee, Thou, O God, didst reveal thyself unto him when he had fasted for forty days. Even so was their petition.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Céteris autem custódibus somno déditis, solus vigilábat jánitor, qui et illos orántes, et luce circumfúsos, et quosdam e cœlo descendéntes Angelos tamquam a Rege missos, qui corónas trigínta novem milítibus distribúerent, íntuens, ita secum loquebátur: Quadragínta hi sunt: quadragésimi coróna ubi est? Quæ dum cogitáret, unus ex illo número, cui ánimus ad frigus feréndum defécerat, in próximum tepefáctum bálneum desíliens, sanctos illos summo dolóre affécit. Verum Deus illórum preces írritas esse non est passus: nam rei evéntum admirátus jánitor, mox custódibus e somno excitátis, detractísque sibi véstibus, ac se christiánum esse clara voce proféssus, Martýribus se adjúnxit. Cum vero prǽsidis satéllites janitórem quoque Christiánum esse cognovíssent, bacíllis comminúta ómnium eórum crura fregérunt.

℟. Deo grátias.
When the keepers were all asleep and the watchman only was awake, he heard them praying and saw a light shining round about them, and Angels coming down from heaven, as the messengers of the King, bearing nine-and-thirty crowns, and distributing them to the soldiers. Then he said within himself: Are not forty here? Where is the crown of the fortieth? And as he looked he saw one of them whose courage could not bear the cold, come and leap into a warm bath that stood by; and the Saints were grievously afflicted. Nevertheless God suffered not that their prayer should return unto them void; for the watchman wondered, and called the keepers, and stripped himself of his clothes; and, when with a loud voice he had confessed himself a Christian, he joined the Martyrs. When the servants of the President knew that the watchman also was a Christian, they brake the legs of them all with staves.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

In eo supplício mórtui sunt omnes, præter Melithónem natu mínimum. Quem cum præsens mater ejus, fractis crúribus, adhuc vivéntem vidísset, sic cohortáta est: Fili, paulísper sústine; ecce Christus ad jánuam stat ádjuvans te. Cum vero reliquórum córpora plaustris impóni cérneret, ut in rogum inferréntur, ac fílium suum relínqui, quod speráret ímpia turba púerum, si vixísset, ad idolórum cultum revocári posse; ipso in húmeros subláto, sancta mater vehícula Mártyrum corpóribus onústa strénue prosequebátur: in cujus ampléxu Mélithon spíritum Deo réddidit, ejúsque corpus in eúmdem illum ceterórum Mártyrum rogum pia mater injécit: ut qui fide et virtúte conjunctíssimi fúerant, fúneris étiam societáte copuláti, una in cœlum pervenírent. Combústis illis, eórum relíquiæ projéctæ in profluéntem, cum mirabíliter in unum confluxíssent locum, salvæ et íntegræ repértæ, honorífico sepúlchro cónditæ sunt.

℟. Deo grátias.
Under this torment died they all, saving Melithon, who was the youngest. Now, his mother stood by, and when she saw that his legs were broken, but that he was yet alive, she cried, and said My son, have patience but a little longer. Behold how Christ standeth at the door to help thee. When she saw the bodies of all the others put upon carts and taken away to be burned, and that her son was left behind, because the multitude wickedly hoped that being but a lad, if he lived, he might yet be drawn to commit idolatry, the holy mother took him on her own shoulders and bravely followed behind the carts laden with the bodies of the Martyrs. In her arms Melithon gave up his soul to God, and the mother who loved him so well laid his body with her own hands upon the pile, with those of the other Martyrs, that, as they had all been one in faith and strength, in death they might not be divided, and might enter heaven together. After the burning, what remained of them was thrown into a running stream, but the ashes were all washed together into one place, and being found and rescued, they were laid in an honourable sepulchre.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

9 Quóniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt: * ipse mandávit, et creáta sunt.

3 Sing to him a new canticle, * sing well unto him with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right, * and all his works are done with faithfulness.
5 He loveth mercy and judgment; * the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; * and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; * laying up the depths in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, * and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
9 For he spoke and they were made: * he commanded and they were created.
10 The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; * and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
11 But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: * the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: * the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 The Lord hath looked from heaven: * he hath beheld all the sons of men.
14 From his habitation which he hath prepared, * he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
15 He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: * who understandeth all their works.
16 The king is not saved by a great army: * nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
17 Vain is the horse for safety: * neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: * and on them that hope in his mercy.
19 To deliver their souls from death; * and feed them in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: * for he is our helper and protector.

Advérte ómnia diligénter, quómodo et cum Apóstolis ascéndat et descéndat ad turbas. Quómodo enim turba nisi in húmili Christum vidéret? Non séquitur ad excélsa, non ascéndit ad sublímia.

Prius enim unusquísque sanándus est, ut paulátim virtútibus procedéntibus ascéndere possit ad montem. Et ídeo quemque in inferióribus sanat, hoc est, a libídine révocat, injúriam cæcitátis avértit. Ad vúlnera nostra descéndit: ut usu quodam et cópia suæ natúræ, compartícipes nos fáciat esse regni cœléstis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Mark well how Jesus goeth upward with His disciples, and downward to the multitude. How should the multitude behold Christ, save in a lower place? Such go not up to the things which are above; such attain not to the things which are high. And when Jesus cometh down, He findeth such as are diseased: for such like go not up to the heights. Hence also Matthew saith that there were there all sick people. Of these every man had need of healing, that, when he had received strength, by and by, he might go up into the mountain. And therefore, being Himself come down, He healeth them in the plain, that is to say, He calleth them away from their lust, and freeth them of their blindness. He cometh down to our wounds, to the end that by a certain use of His nature, and by the abundance thereof, He might make us joint-heirs of the kingdom of heaven.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Beáti paúperes, quia vestrum est regnum Dei. Quátuor tantum beatúdines sanctus Lucas domínicas pósuit, octo vero sanctus Matthǽus: sed in illis octo istæ quátuor sunt, et in quátuor istis illæ octo. Hic enim quátuor velut virtútes ampléxus est cardináles: ille in illis octo mýsticum númerum reserávit. Pro octáva enim multi inscribúntur Psalmi: et mandátum áccipis octo illis partem dare fortásse benedictiónibus. Sicut enim spei nostræ octáva perféctio est, ita octáva summa virtútum est. ¶ Sed prius quæ sunt amplióra videámus. Beáti, inquit, paúperes, quóniam vestrum est regnum Dei. Primam benedictiónem hanc utérque Evangelísta pósuit. Ordine enim prima est, et parens quædam generatióque virtútum: quia qui contémpserit sæculária, ipse merébitur sempitérna: nec potest quisquam méritum regni cœléstis adipísci, qui mundi cupiditáte pressus, emergéndi non habet facultátem.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Blessed be ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Saint Luke giveth us but four of the Lord’s Beatitudes, and Saint Matthew eight: but in those eight are contained these four, and in these four those eight. For in these four are embraced the cardinal virtues: and in those eight they are set forth in a number full of mystery. It is written at the head of more than one of the Psalms that they are for the octave, and thou hast received the commandment: Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; to seven or eight what? Perchance degrees of blessedness. For as this eighth doth name the most glorious realization of our hope: the kingdom of Heaven: so doth it also name the most royal exertion of our strength: blessed are they which are persecuted. ¶ But let us first consider the fuller of the forms of these Beatitudes. Blessed be ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Both of the Evangelists give to this Beatitude the first place. Yea, surely, for poorness, at least in spirit, is the first in order, the mother, and procreatrix of virtues; since he that setteth no store by temporal things, winneth toward eternal things; neither is any man able to gain the kingdom of heaven, on whom the love of this present world doth so press, that he cannot rid himself thereof.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Matth. 18. b.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Si peccáverit in te frater tuus, vade, et córripe eum inter te et ipsum solum. Et réliqua.
At that time, Jesus saith to his disciples: But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. And so on.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Austin, Bishop.
Sermo 16. de Verbis Domini, tom. 10. post initium.
Quare illum córripis? Quia tu doles, quod peccáverit in te? Absit. Si amóre tui id facis, nihil facis: si amóre illíus facis, óptime facis. Dénique in ipsis verbis atténde, cujus amóre id fácere débeas, utrum tui, an illíus. Si te audíerit, inquit, lucrátus es fratrem tuum. Ergo propter illum fac, ut lucréris illum. Sic faciéndo lucráris: nisi fecísses, períerat. Quid est ergo, quod pleríque hómines ista peccáta contémnunt, et dicunt: Quid magnum feci? in hóminem peccávi. Noli contémnere: in hóminem peccásti. ¶ Vis nosse, quia in hóminem peccándo, perísti? Si te ille, in quem peccásti, corripúerit inter te et ipsum solum, et audíeris illum, lucrátus est te. Quid est, Lucrátus est te; nisi quia períeras, si non lucrarétur te? Nam si non períeras, quómodo te lucrátus est? Nemo ergo contémnat, quando peccat in fratrem. Ait enim quodam loco Apóstolus: Sic autem peccántes in fratres, et percutiéntes consciéntiam eórum infírmam, in Christum peccátis: ídeo quia membra Christi omnes facti sumus. Quómodo non peccas in Christum, qui peccas in membrum Christi? ¶ Nemo ergo dicat, quia non peccávi in Deum, sed peccávi in fratrem: in hóminem peccávi, leve, vel nullum peccátum est. Forte inde dicis: Leve est, quia cito curátur. Peccásti in fratrem: fac satis, et sanátus es. Cito fecísti mortíferam rem, sed remédium cito invenísti. Quis nostrum speret regnum cœlórum, fratres mei, quando dicit Evangélium: Qui díxerit fratri suo, fátue; reus erit gehénnæ ignis? Magnus terror: sed vide ibi remédium. Si obtúleris munus tuum ad altáre, et ibi recordátus fúeris, quia frater tuus habet áliquid advérsum te, relínque ibi munus tuum ante altáre. Non iráscitur Deus, quia differs impónere munus tuum: te quærit Deus magis, quam munus tuum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Why tell him his fault? Because he hath made thee smart by trespassing against thee? God forbid. If thou tell him his fault because thou lovest thyself, thou dost nothing. But if thou tell it him because thou lovest him, then dost thou do exceeding well. Hear now, in the words of the Gospel itself, for love of whom, thou oughtest to do it, of thyself, or of him. The Lord saith: If he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. Therefore it behoveth thee to do it for his sake, that thou mayest gain him; since, if thou so do, haply thou mayest gain him; whereas, if thou do it not, he may haply perish. Why then are there so many who reckon lightly of a trespass against their brother, and say I have done no great offence, for I have trespassed only against my fellow man? Deem it not light; thou hast trespassed, though it be against thy fellow man. ¶ Wouldest thou know that thy trespass against thy brother hath destroyed thee? If he against whom thou hast trespassed tell thee thy fault between himself and thee alone, and thou hear him, he hath gained thee. Gained thee! And what signify those words, if it be not that thou, if thou be not gained, shalt perish? For if thou shouldest not otherwise perish, in what sense can he be said to gain thee? Therefore let no man deem it a light thing when he trespasseth against his brother. For the Apostle Paul saith in a certain place: When ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. (1 Cor. viii. 12.) We are all members of Christ. How dost thou not trespass against Christ, which trespassest against one of His members? ¶ Let no man therefore say I have not trespassed against God, but only against my brother; that is, I have trespassed against my fellowman; and so the sin is light, if any at all. And perchance thou wilt argue that it is light, because it is quickly mended; thou hast trespassed against thy brother, but thou canst make satisfaction, and be right again; thou hast done the deadly thing quickly, and quickly canst thou find a remedy. O my brethren, which of us can hope for the kingdom of heaven, when we remember that the Gospel saith: "Whosoever shall say to his brother: Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire?" (Matth. v. 22.) It is a thought full of dread; but, lo! the remedy: If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. God is not wroth that thou tarry or ever thou offer thy gift; for God seeketh thyself more than thy gift.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

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.
