Duplex Majus.
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 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.

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.

Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifíxi fige plagas
Cordi meo válide.
Tui nati vulneráti,
Tam dignáti pro me pati,
Pœnas mecum dívide.
Fac me tecum pie flere,
Crucifíxo condolére,
Donec ego víxero.
Juxta crucem tecum stare,
Et me tibi sociáre
In planctu desídero.

Quare fremuérunt Gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?

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.

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.

Psalmus 12.
Usquequo Dómine obliviscéris me in finem? * Usquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me?
2 Quámdiu ponam consília in ánima mea, * dolórem in corde meo per diem?
3 Usquequo exaltábitur inimícus meus super me? * réspice, et exaúdi me Dómine Deus meus.
4 Illúmina óculos meos ne umquam obdórmiam in morte: * nequándo dicat inimícus meus: Præválui advérsus eum.
5 Qui tríbulant me, exsultábunt si motus fúero: * ego autem in misericórdia tua sperávi.
6 Exsultábit cor meum in salutári tuo: cantábo Dómino qui bona tríbuit mihi: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? * how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, * sorrow in my heart all the day?
3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? * Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God.
4 Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death: * Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him.
5 They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved: * But I have trusted in thy mercy.
6 My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: * yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
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.
Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens in médio ventris mei.
My heart is like melting wax in the midst of my bowels.

De Isaía Prophéta.
Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isaiæ 53.
Quis crédidit audítui nostro? et bráchium Dómini cui revelátum est? Et ascéndet sicut virgúltum coram eo, et sicut radix de terra sitiénti: non est spécies ei, neque decor: et vídimus eum, et non erat aspéctus, et desiderávimus eum: Despéctum, et novíssimum virórum, virum dolórum, et sciéntem infirmitátem: et quasi abscónditus vultus ejus et despéctus, unde nec reputávimus eum. Vere languóres nostros ipse tulit, et dolóres nostros ipse portávit: et nos putávimus eum quasi leprósum, et percússum a Deo et humiliátum. Ipse autem vulnerátus est propter iniquitátes nostras, attrítus est propter scélera nostra: disciplína pacis nostræ super eum, et livóre ejus sanáti sumus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
WHO hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we should be desirous of him: Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium I.
℟. Diléctus meus cándidus, et rubicúndus, et totus desiderábilis: * Omnis enim figúra ejus amórem spirat, et ad redamándum próvocat caput inclinátum, manus expánsæ, pectus apértum.
℣. Piis, o Virgo, spectas eum óculis, contémplans in eo non tam vúlnerum livórem, quam mundi salútem.
℟. Omnis enim figúra ejus amórem spirat, et ad redamándum próvocat caput inclinátum, manus expánsæ, pectus apértum.
℟. My Beloved is white and ruddy, yea, He is altogether lovely; * For the sight of Him doth altogether breathe of love, and stirreth up to love in return; His Head is bowed down, His Hands are stretched out, and His Side is opened.
℣. Maiden and Mother, thou didst look upon Him with eyes full of tenderness, and there thou sawest not only that thy Son was smitten, but that the world was saved.
℟. For the sight of Him doth altogether breathe of love, and stirreth up to love in return; His Head is bowed down, His Hands are stretched out, and His Side is opened.

Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the Son, the Sole-begotten, * mercifully bless and keep us.
Amen.
Omnes nos quasi oves errávimus, unusquísque in viam suam declinávit: et pósuit Dóminus in eo iniquitátem ómnium nostrum. Oblátus est quia ipse vóluit, et non apéruit os suum: sicut ovis ad occisiónem ducétur, et quasi agnus coram tondénte se obmutéscet, et non apériet os suum. De angústia, et de judício sublátus est: generatiónem ejus quis enarrábit? quia abscíssus est de terra vivéntium: propter scelus pópuli mei percússi eum. Et dabit ímpios pro sepultúra, et dívitem pro morte sua: eo quod iniquitátem non fécerit, neque dolus fúerit in ore ejus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth. He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him. And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium II.

Et Dóminus vóluit contérere eum in infirmitáte: si posúerit pro peccáto ánimam suam, vidébit semen longǽvum, et volúntas Dómini in manu ejus dirigétur. Pro eo quod laborávit ánima ejus, vidébit et saturábitur: in sciéntia sua justificábit ipse justus servus meus multos, et iniquitátes eórum ipse portábit. Ideo dispértiam ei plúrimos: et fórtium dívidet spólia, pro eo quod trádidit in mortem ánimam suam, et cum scelerátis reputátus est: et ipse peccáta multórum tulit, et pro transgressóribus rogávit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand. Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Mine enemies speak evil of me When shall he die, and his name perish.
Psalmus 40.
Beátus qui intélligit super egénum, et paúperem: * in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.
2 Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra: * et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.
3 Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris ejus: * univérsum stratum ejus versásti in infirmitáte ejus.
4 Ego dixi: Dómine miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
5 Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen ejus?
6 Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur, * cor ejus congregávit iniquitátem sibi.
7 Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.
8 Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.
9 Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me: * Numquid qui dormit non adjíciet ut resúrgat?
10 Etenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.
11 Tu autem Dómine miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.
12 In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.

Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: * the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
2 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: * and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: * thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: * when shall he die and his name perish?
6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered together iniquity to itself.
7 He went out * and spoke to the same purpose.
8 All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.
9 They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
10 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.
12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
14 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. * So be it. So be it.
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 Conculcavérunt me inimíci mei tota die: * quóniam multi bellántes advérsum me.
3 Ab altitúdine diéi timébo: * ego vero in te sperábo.
4 In Deo laudábo sermónes meos, in Deo sperávi: * non timébo quid fáciat mihi caro.
5 Tota die verba mea exsecrabántur: * advérsum me omnes cogitatiónes eórum in malum.
6 Inhabitábunt et abscóndent: * ipsi calcáneum meum observábunt.
7 Sicut sustinuérunt ánimam meam, pro níhilo salvos fácies illos: * in ira pópulos confrínges.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: * posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo,
9 Sicut et in promissióne tua: * tunc converténtur inimíci mei retrórsum:
10 In quacúmque die invocávero te: * ecce cognóvi quóniam Deus meus es.
11 In Deo laudábo verbum, in Dómino laudábo sermónem: * in Deo sperávi, non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, * quæ reddam, laudatiónes tibi.
13 Quóniam eripuísti ánimam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: * ut pláceam coram Deo in lúmine vivéntium.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; * all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; * for they are many that make war against me.
3 From the height of the day I shall fear: * but I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: * I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
5 All the day long they detested my words: * all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
6 They will dwell and hide themselves: * they will watch my heel.
7 As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: * in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.
8 O God, I have declared to thee my life: * thou hast set my tears in thy sight,
9 As also in thy promise. * Then shall my enemies be turned back.
10 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * behold I know thou art my God.
11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. * In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, * which I will pay, praises to thee:
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: * that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
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.
Deus, vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo.
O God, I have declared my life unto thee: Thou hast put my tears in thy sight.
Fílii hóminum, * dentes eórum arma et sagíttæ: et lingua eórum gládius acútus.
As for the sons of men, their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Psalmus 56.
Miserére mei Deus, miserére mei: * quóniam in te confídit ánima mea.
2 Et in umbra alárum tuárum sperábo, * donec tránseat iníquitas.
3 Clamábo ad Deum altíssimum: * Deum qui benefécit mihi.
4 Misit de cœlo, et liberávit me: * dedit in oppróbrium conculcántes me.
5 Misit Deus misericórdiam suam, et veritátem suam, * et erípuit ánimam meam de médio catulórum leónum: dormívi conturbátus.
6 Fílii hóminum dentes eórum arma et sagíttæ: * et lingua eórum gládius acútus.
7 Exaltáre super cœlos Deus: * et in omnem terram glória tua.
8 Láqueum paravérunt pédibus meis: * et incurvavérunt ánimam meam.
9 Fodérunt ante fáciem meam fóveam: * et incidérunt in eam.
10 Parátum cor meum Deus, parátum cor meum: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam.
11 Exsúrge glória mea, exsúrge psaltérium et cíthara: * exsúrgam dilúculo.
12 Confitébor tibi in pópulis Dómine: * et psalmum dicam tibi in Géntibus:
13 Quóniam magnificáta est usque ad cœlos misericórdia tua, * et usque ad nubes véritas tua.
14 Exaltáre super cœlos Deus: * et super omnem terram glória tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: * for my soul trusteth in thee.
2 And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, * until iniquity pass away.
3 I will cry to God the most High; * to God who hath done good to me.
4 He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: * he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me.
5 God hath sent his mercy and his truth, * and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled.
6 The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, * and their tongue a sharp sword.
7 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, * and thy glory above all the earth.
8 They prepared a snare for my feet; * and they bowed down my soul.
9 They dug a pit before my face, * and they are fallen into it.
10 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: * I will sing, and rehearse a psalm.
11 Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: * I will arise early.
12 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: * I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
13 For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: * and thy truth unto the clouds.
14 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: * and thy glory above 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.
Fílii hóminum, dentes eórum arma et sagíttæ: et lingua eórum gládius acútus.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis.
From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux.)
Ex sermone de 12 stellis.
Martýrium Vírginis tam in Simeónis prophetía, quam in ipsa Domínicæ passiónis história commendátur. Pósitus est hic (ait sanctus senex de púero Jesu) in signum cui contradicétur; et tuam ipsíus ánimam (ad Maríam autem dicébat) pertransíbit gládius. Vere tuam, o beáta Mater, ánimam pertransívit. Alióquin non nisi eam pertránsiens, carnem Fílii tui penetráret. Et quidem posteáquam emísit spíritum tuus ille Jesus, ipsíus plane non áttigit ánimam crudélis láncea, quæ ipsíus apéruit latus, sed tuam útique ánimam pertransívit. Ipsíus nimírum ánima jam ibi non erat, sed tua plane inde nequíbat avélli.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The Martyrdom of the Virgin is set before us, not only in the prophecy of Simeon, but also in the story itself of the Lord's Passion. The holy old man said of the Child Jesus (Luke ii. 34,) Behold, this Child is set for the fall and the rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; yea, said he unto Mary, a sword shall pierce through thine own soul also Even so, O Blessed Mother! The sword did indeed pierce through thy soul! for nought could pierce the Body of thy Son, nor pierce thy soul likewise. Yea, and when this Jesus of thine had given up the ghost, and the bloody spear could torture Him no more, thy soul winced as it pierced His dead Side His Own Soul might leave Him, but thine could not.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ténebræ factæ sunt, cum crucifixíssent Jesum Judǽi, et circa horam nonam exclamávit Jesus voce magna: Deus meus, ut quid dereliquísti me? * Et inclináto cápite emísit spíritum.
℣. Quis tibi nunc sensus, dum cernis tália, Virgo?
℟. Et inclináto cápite emísit spíritum.
℟. The Jews crucified Jesus; and there was darkness; and about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? * And He bowed His Head, and gave up the Ghost.
℣. O what a sickening at heart was thine at that moment, O Mother!
℟. And He bowed His Head, and gave up the Ghost.

Tuam ergo pertransívit ánimam vis dolóris, ut plusquam Mártyrem non immérito prædicémus, in qua nimírum corpóreæ sensum passiónis excésserit compassiónis afféctus. An non tibi plusquam gládius fuit sermo ille, revéra pertránsiens ánimam, et pertíngens usque ad divisiónem ánimæ et spíritus: Múlier, ecce fílius tuus? O commutatiónem! Joánnes tibi pro Jesu tráditur, servus pro Dómino, discípulus pro Magístro, fílius Zebedǽi pro Fílio Dei, homo purus pro Deo vero. Quómodo non tuam affectuosíssimam ánimam pertransíret hæc audítio, quando et nostra, licet sáxea, licet férrea péctora, sola recordátio scindit?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The sword of sorrow pierced through thy soul, so that we may truly call thee more than martyr, in whom the love, that made thee suffer along with thy Son, wrung thy heart more bitterly than any pang of bodily pain could do. Did not that word of His indeed pierce through thy soul, sharper than any two-edged sword, even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, (Heb. iv. 12,) Woman, behold thy son! (John xix. 26.) O what a change to thee! Thou art given John for Jesus, the servant for his Lord, the disciple for his master, the son of Zebedee for the Son of God, a mere man for Very God. O how keenly must the hearing of those words have pierced through thy most loving soul, when even our hearts, stony, iron, as they are, are wrung at the memory thereof only!
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Non mirémini, fratres, quod María Martyr in ánima fuísse dicátur. Mirétur qui non memínerit se audivísse Paulum inter máxima Géntium crímina memorántem, quod sine affectióne fuíssent. Longe id fuit a Maríæ viscéribus, longe sit a sérvulis ejus. Sed forte quis dicat: Numquid non eum præscíerat moritúrum? Et indubitánter. Numquid non sperábat contínuo resurrectúrum? Et fidéliter. Super hæc dóluit crucifíxum? Et veheménter. Alióquin quisnam tu frater, aut unde tibi hæc sapiéntia, ut miréris plus Maríam compatiéntem, quam Maríæ fílium patiéntem? Ille étiam mori córpore pótuit; ista cómmori corde non pótuit? Fecit illud cáritas, qua majórem nemo hábuit: fecit et hoc cáritas, cui post illam símilis áltera non fuit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Marvel not, my brethren, that Mary should be called a Martyr in spirit. He indeed may marvel who remembereth not what Paul saith, naming the greater sins of the Gentiles, that they were without natural affection, (Rom. i. 31.) Far other were the bowels of Mary, and far other may those of her servants be! But some man perchance will say Did she not know that He was to die? Yea, without doubt, she knew it. Did she not hope that He was soon to rise again? Yea, she most faithfully hoped it. And did she still mourn because He was crucified? Yea, bitterly. But who art thou, my brother, or whence hast thou such wisdom, to marvel less that the Son of Mary suffered than that Mary suffered with Him? He could die in the Body, and could not she die with Him in her heart? His was the deed of that Love, greater than which hath no man (John xv. 13;) hers, of a love, like to which hath no man, save He.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Intendérunt arcum * rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
They bend their bow, * even bitter words, that they may shoot in secret at the perfect.
Psalmus 63.
Exaúdi Deus oratiónem meam cum déprecor: * a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam.
2 Protexísti me a convéntu malignántium: * a multitúdine operántium iniquitátem.
3 Quia exacuérunt ut gládium linguas suas: * intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
4 Súbito sagittábunt eum, et non timébunt: * firmavérunt sibi sermónem nequam.
5 Narravérunt ut abscónderent láqueos: * dixérunt: Quis vidébit eos?
6 Scrutáti sunt iniquitátes: * defecérunt scrutántes scrutínio.
7 Accédet homo ad cor altum: * et exaltábitur Deus.
8 Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: * et infirmátæ sunt contra eos linguæ eórum.
9 Conturbáti sunt omnes qui vidébant eos: * et tímuit omnis homo.
10 Et annuntiavérunt ópera Dei, * et facta ejus intellexérunt.
11 Lætábitur justus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo, * et laudabúntur omnes recti corde.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.
4 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.
5 They have talked of hiding snares; * they have said: Who shall see them?
6 They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.
7 Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.
8 The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.
9 All that saw them were troubled; * And every man was afraid.
10 And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.
11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
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.
Intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
They bend their bow, even bitter words, that they may shoot in secret at the perfect.
Factus sum * sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.
I am as a man that hath no strength, lying nerveless among the dead.
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.

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.
Factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.

Replévit me * amaritúdine, inebriávit me absýnthio.

Psalmus 108.
Deus laudem meam ne tacúeris: * quia os peccatóris, et os dolósi super me apértum est.
2 Locúti sunt advérsum me lingua dolósa, et sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me: * et expugnavérunt me gratis.
3 Pro eo ut me dilígerent, detrahébant mihi: * ego autem orábam.
4 Et posuérunt advérsum me mala pro bonis: * et ódium pro dilectióne mea.
5 Constítue super eum peccatórem: * et diábolus stet a dextris ejus.
6 Cum judicátur, éxeat condemnátus: * et orátio ejus fiat in peccátum.
7 Fiant dies ejus pauci: * et episcopátum ejus accípiat alter.
8 Fiant fílii ejus órphani: * et uxor ejus vídua.
9 Nutántes transferántur fílii ejus, et mendícent: * et ejiciántur de habitatiónibus suis.
10 Scrutétur fœnerátor omnem substántiam ejus: * et dirípiant aliéni labóres ejus.
11 Non sit illi adjútor: * nec sit qui misereátur pupíllis ejus.
12 Fiant nati ejus in intéritum: * in generatióne una deleátur nomen ejus.
13 In memóriam rédeat iníquitas patrum ejus in conspéctu Dómini: * et peccátum matris ejus non deleátur.
14 Fiant contra Dóminum semper, et dispéreat de terra memória eórum: * pro eo quod non est recordátus fácere misericórdiam.
15 Et persecútus est hóminem ínopem, et mendícum, * et compúnctum corde mortificáre.
16 Et diléxit maledictiónem, et véniet ei: * et nóluit benedictiónem, et elongábitur ab eo.
17 Et índuit maledictiónem sicut vestiméntum, * et intrávit sicut aqua in interióra ejus, et sicut óleum in óssibus ejus.
18 Fiat ei sicut vestiméntum, quo operítur: * et sicut zona, qua semper præcíngitur.
19 Hoc opus eórum, qui détrahunt mihi apud Dóminum: * et qui loquúntur mala advérsus ánimam meam.
20 Et tu Dómine, Dómine fac mecum propter nomen tuum: * quia suávis est misericórdia tua.
21 Líbera me quia egénus, et pauper ego sum: * et cor meum conturbátum est intra me.
22 Sicut umbra cum declínat, ablátus sum: * et excússus sum sicut locústæ.
23 Génua mea infirmáta sunt a jejúnio: * et caro mea immutáta est propter óleum.
24 Et ego factus sum oppróbrium illis: * vidérunt me, et movérunt cápita sua.
25 Adjuva me Dómine Deus meus: * salvum me fac secúndum misericórdiam tuam.
26 Et sciant quia manus tua hæc: * et tu Dómine fecísti eam.
27 Maledícent illi, et tu benedíces: * qui insúrgunt in me, confundántur: servus autem tuus lætábitur.
28 Induántur qui détrahunt mihi, pudóre: * et operiántur sicut diplóide confusióne sua.
29 Confitébor Dómino nimis in ore meo: * et in médio multórum laudábo eum.
30 Quia ástitit a dextris paúperis, * ut salvam fáceret a persequéntibus ánimam meam.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O God, be not thou silent in my praise: * for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
2 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; * and have fought against me without cause.
3 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer.
4 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love.
5 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand.
6 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin.
7 May his days be few: * and his bishopric let another take.
8 May his children be fatherless, * and his wife a widow.
9 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; * and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
10 May the usurer search all his substance: * and let strangers plunder his labours.
11 May there be none to help him: * nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
12 May his posterity be cut off; * in one generation may his name be blotted out.
13 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: * and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14 May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: * because he remembered not to shew mercy,
15 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; * and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
16 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: * and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him.
17 And he put on cursing, like a garment: * and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
18 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; * and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
19 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; * and who speak evils against my soul.
20 But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name's sake: * because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me,
21 for I am poor and needy, * and my heart is troubled within me.
22 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: * and I am shaken off as locusts.
23 My knees are weakened through fasting: * and my flesh is changed for oil.
24 And I am become a reproach to them: * they saw me and they shaked their heads,
25 Help me, O Lord my God; * save me according to thy mercy.
26 And let them know that this is thy hand: * and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
27 They will curse and thou will bless: * let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
28 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: * and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.
29 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: * and in the midst of many I will praise him.
30 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, * to save my soul from persecutors.
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.

In illo témpore: Stabant juxta crucem Jesu mater ejus, et soror matris ejus María Cléophæ, et María Magdaléne. Et réliqua.
In that time stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. And so on.

Tract. 119. in Joannem.
Hæc nimírum est illa hora, de qua Jesus, aquam conversúrus in vinum, díxerat matri: Quid mihi et tibi est múlier? Nondum venit hora mea. Hanc ítaque horam prædíxerat, quæ tunc nondum vénerat, in qua debéret agnóscere moritúrus, de qua fúerat mortáliter natus. Tunc ergo divína factúrus, non divinitátis, sed infirmitátis matrem velut incógnitam repellébat. Nunc autem humána jam pátiens, ex qua fúerat factus homo, afféctu commendábat humáno: morális ígitur insinuátur locus. Facit quod faciéndum ádmonet, et exémplo suo suos minístros instrúxit præcéptor bonus, ut a fíliis piis impendátur cura paréntibus: tamquam lignum illud, ubi fixa erant membra moriéntis, étiam cáthedra fúerit magístri docéntis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
This is that hour whereof Jesus, when He was about to turn water into wine, had said unto His Mother Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come. (John ii. 4.) He had spoken of this hour, which then was not yet come, wherein, being about to die, it should be His duty to acknowledge her of whom He had been born in a dying Body. Then, since He was about to work the works of God, He thrust from Him, as though He knew her not, her who was His Mother, not in that nature as touching which He is equal to the Father, but in that as touching which He is inferior to the Father. But now, since He is suffering the pains of Man, He careth, with a Man's love, for her of whom He hath been made Man. And herein He giveth us a lesson. He doth that which He would have us to do. The Good Master, by His Own example, commandeth that among His disciples, dutiful children should succour their parents, as though even that Tree whereupon His dying Limbs were nailed, even that Tree were to be a pulpit for His teaching.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Ex hac sana doctrína didícerat Paulus Apóstolus quod docébat quando dicébat: Si quis autem suis, et máxime domésticis non próvidet, fidem negávit, et est infidéli detérior. Quid autem tam cuíque domésticum, quam paréntes fíliis, aut paréntibus fílii? Hujus ítaque salubérrimi præcépti ipse magíster sanctórum de seípso constituébat exémplum: quando non ut fámulæ Deus, quam creáverat, et regébat; sed ut matri homo, de qua creátus fúerat, et quam relinquébat, álterum pro se quodámmodo fílium providébat.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And of this teaching by Jesus Crucified cometh that which the Apostle Paul commandeth, where he saith, (1 Tim. v. 8) If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. But what is so much of a man's own house, as children are of their parents'? and parents of their children's? Of this most healthy law the Master of the Saints was pleased Himself to give an example, when, being God, He treated not as His handmaid her of whom He was the Maker and the Lord, but, being also Man, gave another to be as a son in His stead, to her of whom as Man He had been made, and whom He was leaving.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Joann. 11. f.
In illo témpore: Collegérunt pontífices et pharisǽi concílium advérsus Jesum, et dicébant: Quid fácimus, quia hic homo multa signa facit? Et réliqua.
At that time, chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles? If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation. And so on.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Austin, Bishop.
Tract. 49. in Joannem, sub finem.
Pontífices et pharisǽi sibi consulébant: nec tamen dicébant, Credámus. Plus enim pérditi hómines cogitábant quómodo nocérent, ut pérderent, quam quómodo sibi consúlerent, ne perírent: et tamen timébant, et quasi consulébant. Dicébant enim: Quid fácimus, quia hic homo multa signa facit? Si dimíttimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum: et vénient Románi et tollent nostrum locum et gentem. Temporália pérdere timuérunt, et vitam ætérnam non cogitavérunt, ac sic utrúmque amisérunt. ¶ Nam et Románi post Dómini passiónem et glorificatiónem tulérunt eis et locum et gentem, expugnándo et transferéndo: et illud eos séquitur, quod álibi dictum est: Fílii autem regni hujus ibunt in ténebras exterióres. Hoc autem timuérunt, ne, si omnes in Christum créderent, nemo remanéret, qui advérsus Romános civitátem Dei templúmque defénderet: quóniam contra ipsum templum, et contra suas patérnas leges doctrínam Christi esse sentiébant. ¶ Unus autem ex ipsis Cáiphas, cum esset Póntifex anni illíus, dixit eis: Vos nescítis quidquam, nec cogitátis, quia éxpedit vobis ut unus moriátur homo pro pópulo, et non tota gens péreat. Hoc autem a semetípso non dixit: sed cum esset Póntifex anni illíus, prophetávit. Hic docémur, étiam hómines malos prophetíæ spíritu futúra prædícere: quod tamen Evangelísta divíno tríbuit sacraménto, quia Póntifex fuit, id est, summus sacérdos.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The chief Priests and the Pharisees took counsel together, but Let us believe in Him was not one of the suggestions offered. Those lost creatures thought much more how they might hurt and undo Him, than how they might save themselves from perishing. And yet they were afraid, and took counsel together, and said What do we? For this Man doeth many miracles. If we let Him thus alone, all men will believe on Him; and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and our nation. They were afraid of losing temporal things, but they gave no thought to eternal life, and so they lost both. ¶ For, after that the Lord had suffered and been glorified, first came the Romans, and took away both their place and nation, prevailing against them and leading them away captive, and secondly there followeth them that which is written But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness. (Matth. viii. 12.) But their fear was that, if all men should believe on Christ, none would remain to defend the city of God and His Temple against the Romans, since they deemed that Christ's teaching was against the Temple itself, and against the laws of their fathers. ¶ And one of them, named Ca'iphas, being the High Priest that same year, said unto them: Ye know nothing at all, nor consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself but being High Priest that year, he prophesied. Here we will learn that bad men are enabled by the spirit of prophecy to foretell the future; which, at the same time, the Evangelist attributeth to an ordinance of God, namely, that he was the High Priest.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers:
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.
O Lord, save Thy people, * and bless Thine inheritance.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify Thee;
And we worship Thy name, * ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day, * to keep us without sin.

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.

Ad palmam victóriæ.

Fac ut ánimæ donétur
Paradísi glória.
