Duplex II. Classis.

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.

Ad Matutinum.

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.

Hymnus.

Tristes erant Apóstoli
De Christi acérbo fúnere,
Quem morte crudelíssima
Servi necárant ímpii.




Sermóne verax Angelus
Muliéribus prædíxerat:
Mox ore Christus gaúdium
Gregi feret fidélium.

Ad ánxios Apóstolos
Currunt statim dum núntiæ,
Illæ micántis óbvia
Christi tenent vestígia.

Galilǽæ ad alta móntium
Se cónferunt Apóstoli,
Jesúque, voti cómpotes,
Almo beántur lúmine.

Ut sis perénne méntibus
Paschále Jesu gaúdium;
A morte dira críminum
Vitæ renátos líbera.

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

Amen.

Nocturnus I.

Stabunt justi * in magna constántia advérsus eos, qui se angustiavérunt, allelúja.

The righteous shall stand * in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted them, Alleluia.

Psalmus 18.

Cœli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum ejus annúntiat firmaméntum.
2 Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.
3 Non sunt loquélæ, neque sermónes, * quorum non audiántur voces eórum.
4 In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum: * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
5 In sole pósuit tabernáculum suum: * et ipse tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo:
6 Exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam, * a summo cœlo egréssio ejus:
7 Et occúrsus ejus usque ad summum ejus: * nec est qui se abscóndat a calóre ejus.
8 Lex Dómini immaculáta convértens ánimas: * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
9 Justítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda: * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum: illúminans óculos.
10 Timor Dómini sanctus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi: * judícia Dómini vera, justificáta in semetípsa.
11 Desiderabília super aurum et lápidem pretiósum multum: * et dulcióra super mel et favum.
12 Etenim servus tuus custódit ea, * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.
13 Delícta quis intélligit? ab occúltis meis munda me: * et ab aliénis parce servo tuo.
14 Si mei non fúerint domináti, tunc immaculátus ero: * et emundábor a delícto máximo.
15 Et erunt ut compláceant elóquia oris mei: * et meditátio cordis mei in conspéctu tuo semper.
16 Dómine adjútor meus, * et redémptor meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
6 Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * His going out is from the end of heaven,
7 And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
8 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * And from those of others spare thy servant.
14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
16 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
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 33.

Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: * semper laus ejus in ore meo.
2 In Dómino laudábitur ánima mea: * aúdiant mansuéti, et læténtur.
3 Magnificáte Dóminum mecum: * et exaltémus nomen ejus in idípsum.
4 Exquisívi Dóminum, et exaudívit me: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus meis erípuit me.
5 Accédite ad eum, et illuminámini: * et fácies vestræ non confundéntur.
6 Iste pauper clamávit, et Dóminus exaudívit eum: * et de ómnibus tribulatiónibus ejus salvávit eum.
7 Immíttet Angelus Dómini in circúitu timéntium eum: * et erípiet eos.
8 Gustáte et vidéte quóniam suávis est Dóminus: * beátus vir, qui sperat in eo.
9 Timéte Dóminum omnes sancti ejus: * quóniam non est inópia timéntibus eum.
10 Dívites eguérunt et esuriérunt: * inquiréntes autem Dóminum non minuéntur omni bono.
11 Veníte fílii audíte me: * timórem Dómini docébo vos.
12 Quis est homo qui vult vitam: * díligit dies vidére bonos?
13 Próhibe linguam tuam a malo: * et lábia tua ne loquántur dolum.
14 Divérte a malo, et fac bonum: * inquíre pacem, et perséquere eam.
15 Oculi Dómini super justos: * et aures ejus in preces eórum.
16 Vultus autem Dómini super faciéntes mala: * ut perdat de terra memóriam eórum.
17 Clamavérunt justi, et Dóminus exaudívit eos: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.
18 Juxta est Dóminus iis, qui tribuláto sunt corde: * et húmiles spíritu salvábit.
19 Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
20 Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: * unum ex his non conterétur.
21 Mors peccatórum péssima: * et qui odérunt justum, delínquent.
22 Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: * et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

I will bless the Lord at all times, * his praise shall be always in my mouth.
2 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: * let the meek hear and rejoice.
3 O magnify the Lord with me; * and let us extol his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; * and he delivered me from all my troubles.
5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: * and your faces shall not be confounded.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: * and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: * and shall deliver them.
8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: * blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: * for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: * but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 Come, children, hearken to me: * I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man that desireth life: * who loveth to see good days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, * and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Turn away from evil and do good: * seek after peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: * and his ears unto their prayers.
16 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: * to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: * and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: * and he will save the humble of spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the just; * but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
20 The Lord keepeth all their bones, * not one of them shall be broken.
21 The death of the wicked is very evil: * and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: * and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
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 44.

Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: * dico ego ópera mea regi.
2 Lingua mea cálamus scribæ, * velóciter scribéntis.
3 Speciósus forma præ fíliis hóminum, diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis: * proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
4 Accíngere gládio tuo super femur tuum, * potentíssime,
5 Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua * inténde, próspere procéde, et regna.
6 Propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et justítiam: * et dedúcet te mirabíliter déxtera tua.
7 Sagíttæ tuæ acútæ, pópuli sub te cadent, * in corda inimicórum regis.
8 Sedes tua Deus in sǽculum sǽculi: * virga directiónis virga regni tui.
9 Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem: * proptérea unxit te Deus Deus tuus óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.
10 Myrrha, et gutta, et cásia a vestiméntis tuis, a dómibus ebúrneis: * ex quibus delectavérunt te fíliæ regum in honóre tuo.
11 Astitit regína a dextris tuis in vestítu deauráto: * circúmdata varietáte.
12 Audi fília, et vide, et inclína aurem tuam: * et oblivíscere pópulum tuum, et domum patris tui.
13 Et concupíscet Rex decórem tuum: * quóniam ipse est Dóminus Deus tuus, et adorábunt eum.
14 Et fíliæ Tyri in munéribus * vultum tuum deprecabúntur: omnes dívites plebis.
15 Omnis glória ejus fíliæ Regis ab intus, * in fímbriis aúreis circumamícta varietátibus.
16 Adducéntur Regi vírgines post eam: * próximæ ejus afferéntur tibi.
17 Afferéntur in lætítia et exsultatióne: * adducéntur in templum Regis.
18 Pro pátribus tuis nati sunt tibi fílii: * constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram.
19 Mémores erunt nóminis tui: * in omni generatióne et generatiónem.
20 Proptérea pópuli confitebúntur tibi in ætérnum: * et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

My heart hath uttered a good word: * I speak my works to the king;
2 My tongue is the pen of a scrivener * that writeth swiftly.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; * therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.
5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, * proceed prosperously, and reign.
6 Because of truth and meekness and justice: * and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
7 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, * into the hearts of the king's enemies.
8 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
11 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.
12 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father's house.
13 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
14 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, * yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
15 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders, * Clothed round about with varieties.
16 After her shall virgins be brought to the king: * her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
17 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: * they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
18 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: * thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
19 They shall remember thy name * throughout all generations.
20 Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; * yea, for ever and 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.

Incipit Epístola cathólica beáti Jacóbi Apóstoli.

Lesson from the letter of St. James the Apostle

Jacobi 1.

Jacóbus Dei, et Dómini nostri Jesu Christi servus, duódecim tríbubus, quæ sunt in dispersióne, salútem. Omne gaúdium existimáte fratres mei, cum in tentatiónes várias incidéritis: sciéntes quod probátio fídei vestræ patiéntiam operátur. Patiéntia autem opus perféctum habet: ut sitis perfécti et íntegri in nullo deficiéntes. Si quis autem vestrum índiget sapiéntia, póstulet a Deo, qui dat ómnibus affluénter, et non impróperat: et dábitur ei. Póstulet autem in fide nihil hǽsitans.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into diverse temptations; Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience. And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Responsorium I.

℟. Beátus vir qui métuit Dóminum, allelúja: * In mandátis ejus cupit nimis, allelúja, allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Glória et divítiæ in domo ejus, et justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi.
℟. In mandátis ejus cupit nimis, allelúja, allelúja, allelúja.

℟. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, Alleluia; * That delighteth greatly in His commandments, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
℣. Glory and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness endureth for ever.
℟. That delighteth greatly in His commandments, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Lectio II.

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.

Qui enim hǽsitat, símilis est flúctui maris, qui a vento movétur et circumfértur. Non ergo ǽstimet homo ille quod accípiat áliquid a Dómino. Vir duplex ánimo incónstans est in ómnibus viis suis. Gloriétur autem frater húmilis in exaltatióne sua: dives autem in humilitáte sua, quóniam sicut flos fœni transíbit. Exórtus est enim sol cum ardóre, et arefécit fœnum, et flos ejus décidit, et decor vultus ejus depériit: ita et dives in itinéribus suis marcéscet.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways. But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation: And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away. For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Responsorium II.

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.

Beátus vir, qui suffert tentatiónem: quóniam cum probátus fúerit, accípiet corónam vitæ, quam repromísit Deus diligéntibus se. Nemo cum tentátur, dicat quóniam a Deo tentátur: Deus enim intentátor malórum est: ipse autem néminem tentat. Unusquísque vero tentátur a concupiscéntia sua abstráctus, et illéctus. Deínde concupiscéntia cum concéperit, parit peccátum: peccátum vero cum consummátum fúerit, génerat mortem. Nolíte ítaque erráre fratres mei dilectíssimi.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him. Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man. But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured. Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death. Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: * his years even to generation and generation.
7 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: * his mercy and truth who shall search?

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?

8 Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: * et infirmátæ sunt contra eos linguæ eórum.

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.

Philíppus Bethsáidæ natus, unus ex duódecim Apóstolis, qui primum a Christo Dómino vocáti sunt: a quo cum accepísset Nathánaël, venísse Messíam in lege promíssum, ad Dóminum dedúctus est. Quam vero Christus eum familiáriter adhibéret, illud fácile declárat, quod Gentíles Salvatórem vidére cupiéntes, ad Philíppum accessérunt: et Dóminus, cum in solitúdine hóminum multitúdinem páscere vellet, sic Philíppum affátus est: Unde emémus panes ut mandúcent hi? Is, accépto Spíritu sancto, cum ei Scýthia ad prædicándum Evangélium obtigísset, omnem fere illam gentem ad christiánam fidem convértit. Postrémo cum Hierápolim Phrýgiæ venísset, pro Christi nómine cruci affíxus, lapidibúsque óbrutus est, Kaléndis Maji. Ejus corpus ibídem a Christiánis sepúltum, póstea Romam delátum, in basílica duódecim Apostolórum una cum córpore beáti Jacóbi Apóstoli cónditum est.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Philip was born in the town of Bethsaida, and was one of the first of the twelve Apostles who were called by the Lord Christ. Then Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him: "We have found Him of Whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets, did write." And so he brought him to the Lord. How familiarly he was in the company of Christ, is manifest from that which is written: "There were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the Feast the same came therefore to Philip, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus." When the Lord was in the wilderness, and was about to feed a great multitude, He said unto Philip: "Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?" Philip, after that he had received the Holy Ghost, took Scythia, by lot, as the land wherein he was to preach the Gospel, and brought nearly all that people to believe in Christ. At the last he came to Hierapolis in Phrygia, and there, for Christ’s Name’s sake, he was fastened to a cross and stoned to death. The day was the first of May. The Christians of Hierapolis buried his body at that place, but it was afterwards brought to Rome and laid in the Basilica of the Twelve Apostles, beside that of the blessed Apostle James.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Jacóbus frater Dómini, cognoménto Justus, ab ineúnte ætáte vinum et síceram non bibit, carne abstínuit, numquam tonsus est, nec unguénto nec bálneo usus. Huic uni licébat íngredi in Sancta sanctórum. Idem líneis véstibus utebátur: cui étiam assidúitas orándi ita callum génibus obdúxerat, ut durítie caméli pellem imitarétur. Eum post Christi ascensiónem Apóstoli Jerosolymórum epíscopum creavérunt: ad quem étiam princeps Apostolórum misit, qui nuntiáret se e cárcere ab Angelo edúctum fuísse. Cum autem in concílio Jerosólymis controvérsia esset orta de lege et circumcisióne: Jacóbus Petri senténtiam secútus, ad fratres hábuit conciónem, in qua vocatiónem Géntium probávit: fratribúsque abséntibus scribéndum esse dixit, ne Géntibus jugum Mosáicæ legis impónerent.

℟. Deo grátias.

James, surnamed the Just, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was a Nazarite from the womb. During his whole life he never drank wine or strong drink, never ate meat, never shaved, and never took a bath. He was the only man who was allowed to go into the Holy of Holies. His raiment was always linen. So continually did he kneel in prayer, that the skin of his knees became horny, like a camel’s knees. After Christ was ascended, the Apostles made James Bishop of Jerusalem and even the Prince of the Apostles gave special intelligence to him after that he was delivered from prison by an angel. When in the Council of Jerusalem certain questions were mooted touching the law and circumcision, James, following the opinion of Peter, addressed a discourse to the brethren, wherein he proved the call of the Gentiles, and commanded letters to be sent to such brethren as were absent, that they might take heed not to lay upon the Gentiles the yoke of the Law of Moses. It is of him that the Apostle Paul saith, writing to the Galatians: "Other of the Apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother."
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Tanta autem erat Jacóbi vitæ sánctitas, ut fímbriam vestiménti ejus certátim hómines cúperent attíngere. Nam is nonagínta sex annos natus, cum trigínta annis illi Ecclésiæ sanctíssime præfuísset, Christum Dei Fílium constantíssime prǽdicans, lapídibus primum appétitur: mox in altíssimum templi locum addúctus, inde præcipitátus est. Qui confráctis crúribus, jacens semivívus, manus tendébat ad cœlum, Deúmque pro illórum salúte deprecabátur his verbis: Ignósce eis Dómine, quia nésciunt quid fáciunt. Qua in oratióne, gráviter ejus cápite fullónis fuste percússo, ánimam Deo réddidit, séptimo Nerónis anno, et juxta templum ubi præcipitátus fúerat, sepúltus est. Unam scripsit epístolam, quæ de septem cathólicis est.

℟. Deo grátias.

So great was James’ holiness of life that men strove one with another to touch the hem of his garment. When he was ninety-six years old, and had most holily governed the Church of Jerusalem for thirty years, ever most constantly preaching Christ the Son of God, he laid down his life for the faith. He was first stoned, and afterward taken up on to a pinnacle of the Temple and cast down from thence. His legs were broken by the fall, and he was well-nigh dead, but he lifted up his hands towards heaven, and prayed to God for the salvation of his murderers, saying: "Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do." As he said this, one that stood by smote him grievously upon the head with a fuller’s club, and he resigned his spirit to God. He testified in the seventh year of Nero, and was buried hard by the Temple, in the place where he had fallen. He wrote one of the Seven Epistles which are called Catholic.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

4 Dixi iníquis: Nolíte iníque ágere: * et delinquéntibus: Nolíte exaltáre cornu:
5 Nolíte extóllere in altum cornu vestrum: * nolíte loqui advérsus Deum iniquitátem.
6 Quia neque ab Oriénte, neque ab Occidénte, neque a desértis móntibus: * quóniam Deus judex est.
7 Hunc humíliat, et hunc exáltat: * quia calix in manu Dómini vini meri plenus misto.

4 I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: * and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
5 Lift not up your horn on high: * speak not iniquity against God.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: * For God is the judge.
7 One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up: * For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture.
8 And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: * all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
9 But I will declare for ever: * I will sing to the God of Jacob.
10 And I will break all the horns of sinners: * but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to John.

Joann. 14.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Créditis in Deum, et in me crédite. In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: "Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house there are many mansions." And so on.

Tract. 67. in Joannem.

Erigénda est nobis, fratres, ad Deum major inténtio, ut verba sancti Evangélii, quæ modo in nostris aúribus sonuérunt, étiam mente cápere utcúmque possímus. Ait enim Dóminus Jesus: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Créditis in Deum, et in me crédite. Ne mortem tamquam hómines timérent, et ídeo turbaréntur, consolátur eos, étiam se Deum esse contéstans. Créditis, inquit, in Deum, et in me crédite. Cónsequens est enim, ut si in Deum créditis, et in me crédere debeátis: quod non esset cónsequens, si Christus non esset Deus.

It behoveth us, my brethren, to have our minds more given toward God, if we would that those words of the Holy Gospel which have just sounded in our ears, should become a living reality for our understandings. The Lord Jesus saith: "Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in Me." Lest, being but men, their heart should be troubled by the fear of death, He strengtheneth them, even by the reminder that He is God. He saith: "Ye believe in God, believe also in Me", for if ye believe in God, ye must needs believe in Me. And this were not so, if Christ were not God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Créditis in Deum, et in eum crédite, cui natúra est, non rapína, esse æquálem Deo: semetípsum enim exinanívit, non tamen formam Dei amíttens, sed formam servi accípiens. Mortem metúitis huic formæ servi: non turbétur cor vestrum: suscitábit illam forma Dei. Sed quid est, quod séquitur, In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt: nisi quia et sibi metuébant? Unde audíre debuérunt: Non turbétur cor vestrum. Quis enim eórum non metúeret, cum Petro dictum esset, fidentióri atque promptióri: Non cantábit gallus, donec ter me neges?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

We believe in God, believe also in Him Who is by nature and not by robbery equal with God, for in that He emptied Himself, He did it not by laying aside the form of God, but by taking upon Him the form of a servant. Ye fear death for this form of a servant, but let not your heart be troubled, the form of God will raise it up again. But what signifieth that which followeth: "In My Father’s house there are many mansions." Was it not that they had fear on their own account, and needed for themselves to hear Him say, "Let not your heart be troubled" Which of them trembled not when they had heard Him say to Peter, the lealest and boldest of them all: "The cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest Me."
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Jube, domne, benedícere.
Ad societátem cívium supernórum * perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
℟. Amen.

Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May He that is the Angels’ King * to that high realm His people bring.
Amen.

Tamquam ergo essent ab illo peritúri, mérito turbabántur: sed cum aúdiunt, In domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt: si quo minus dixíssem vobis: Quia vado paráre vobis locum: a perturbatióne recreántur, certi ac fidéntes, étiam post perícula tentatiónum, se apud Deum cum Christo esse mansúros: quia etsi álius est álio fórtior, álius álio sapiéntior, álius álio jústior, álius álio sánctior: in domo Patris mei mansiónes multæ sunt. Nullus eórum alienábitur ab illa domo, ubi mansiónem pro suo quisque acceptúrus est mérito.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Meetly were they troubled, for that they were about to be scattered from Him, but when they heard Him say, "In My Father’s house are many mansions," they had been comforted even if He had not also said, "I go to prepare a place for you," for then they believed and knew, that, when all dangers and all trials were for ever over, they should be for ever with the Lord, with Christ and with God. Yea, though one man be stronger than another, though one be wiser than another, though one be holier than another, yet "in My Father’s house are many mansions." That house is an house wherein none are strangers, but every man shall receive a mansion therein according as his work shall be.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at break of day.
2 For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: * so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.
8 And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: * thy right hand hath received me.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
10 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: * because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.

Hymnus.

Paschále mundo gaúdium
Sol núntiat formósior,
Cum luce fulgéntem nova
Jesum vident Apóstoli.




In carne Christi vúlnera
Micáre tamquam sídera
Mirántur, et quidquid vident
Testes fidéles prǽdicant.

Rex Christe clementíssime,
Tu corda nostra pósside:
Ut lingua grates débitas
Tuo repéndat nómini.

Ut sis perénne méntibus
Paschále Jesu gaúdium;
A morte dira críminum
Vitæ renátos líbera.

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

Amen.

Benedíctus ✠ Dóminus Deus Israël, * quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:
2 Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: * in domo David púeri sui.

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.
