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.

Sacris solémniis juncta sint gaúdia,
Et ex præcórdiis sonent præcónia;
Recédant vétera, nova sint ómnia,
Corda, voces, et ópera.
Noctis recólitur cœna novíssima,
Qua Christus créditur agnum et ázyma
Dedísse frátribus, juxta legítima
Priscis indúlta pátribus.
Post agnum týpicum, explétis épulis,
Corpus Domínicum datum discípulis,
Sic totum ómnibus, quod totum síngulis,
Ejus fatémur mánibus.
Dedit fragílibus córporis férculum,
Dedit et trístibus sánguinis póculum,
Dicens: accípite quod trado vásculum,
Omnes ex eo bíbite.
Sic sacrifícium istud instítuit,
Cujus offícium commítti vóluit
Solis presbýteris, quibus sic cóngruit,
Ut sumant, et dent céteris.
Panis angélicus fit panis hóminum;
Dat panis cœ́licus figúris términum:
O res mirábilis, mandúcat Dóminum
Pauper, servus, et húmilis.
Te trina Déitas únaque póscimus,
Sic nos tu vísita, sicut te cólimus:
Per tuas sémitas duc nos quo téndimus,
Ad lucem, quam inhábitas.
Amen.
Fructum salutíferum.
The Lord brought forth His fruit in the season of His death,
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.
Fructum salutíferum gustándum dedit Dóminus mortis suæ témpore.
The Lord brought forth His fruit in the season of His death, even that fruit whereof if any man eat, he shall live for ever.
A fructu fruménti.
His faithful ones which are increased by the fruit of His corn and His wine.
Psalmus 4.
Cum invocárem exaudívit me Deus justítiæ meæ: * in tribulatióne dilatásti mihi.
2 Miserére mei, * et exaúdi oratiónem meam.
3 Fílii hóminum úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem, et quǽritis mendácium?
4 Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exaúdiet me cum clamávero ad eum.
5 Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.
6 Sacrificáte sacrifícium justítiæ, † et speráte in Dómino. * Multi dicunt: Quis osténdit nobis bona?
7 Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo.
8 A fructu fruménti, vini, et ólei sui * multiplicáti sunt.
9 In pace in idípsum * dórmiam, et requiéscam;
10 Quóniam tu Dómine singuláriter in spe * constituísti me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: * when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.
2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, * they are multiplied.
9 In peace in the selfsame * I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 For thou, O Lord, singularly * hast settled me in hope.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
A fructu fruménti et vini multiplicáti fidéles in pace Christi requiéscunt.
His faithful ones which are increased by the fruit of His corn and His wine do lay them down in peace and sleep in Christ.
Communióne cálicis,
Us, being many, hath the Lord made one body,
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.
Communióne cálicis, quo Deus ipse súmitur, non vitulórum sánguine, congregávit nos Dóminus.
Us, being many, hath the Lord made one body, for we are all partakers of that one cup, which is not the communion of the blood of bulls, but of God Himself.

De libro primo Regum.
Lesson from the first book of Samuel
I. Reg. 5.
Philísthiim autem tulérunt arcam Dei, et asportavérunt eam a Lápide adjutórii in Azótum. Tulerúntque Philísthiim arcam Dei, et intulérunt eam in templum Dagon, et statuérunt eam juxta Dagon. Cumque surrexíssent dilúculo Azótii áltera die, ecce Dagon jacébat pronus in terra ante arcam Dómini: et tulérunt Dagon, et restituérunt eum in locum suum. Rursúmque mane die áltera consurgéntes, invenérunt Dagon jacéntem super fáciem suam in terra coram arca Dómini: caput autem Dagon, et duæ palmæ mánuum ejus abscíssæ erant super limen: porro Dagon solus truncus remánserat in loco suo.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and carried it from the Stone of help into Azotus. And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the temple of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place. And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold: And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place.

Aggraváta est autem manus Dómini super Azótios, et demolítus est eos: et ebulliérunt villæ et agri in médio regiónis illíus, et nati sunt mures, et facta est confúsio mortis magnæ in civitáte. Vidéntes autem viri Azótii hujuscémodi plagam, dixérunt: Non máneat arca Dei Israël apud nos: quóniam dura est manus ejus super nos, et super Dagon deum nostrum.

And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon our god. And sending, they gathered together all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said: What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?

Misérunt ergo arcam Dei in Accaron. Cumque venísset arca Dei in Accaron, exclamavérunt Accaronítæ, dicéntes: Adduxérunt ad nos arcam Dei Israël, ut interfíciat nos, et pópulum nostrum. Misérunt ítaque et congregavérunt omnes sátrapas Philisthinórum, qui dixérunt: Dimíttite arcam Dei Israël, et revertátur in locum suum, et non interfíciat nos cum pópulo nostro.

And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people. They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines: and they said: Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return into its own place, and not kill us and our people.

6 Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam, * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me.
7 Impinguásti in óleo caput meum: * et calix meus inébrians quam præclárus est!
8 Et misericórdia tua subsequétur me * ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
9 Et ut inhábitem in domo Dómini, * in longitúdinem diérum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. * He hath set me in a place of pasture.
2 He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: * He hath converted my soul.
3 He hath led me on the paths of justice, * for his own name's sake.
4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, * for thou art with me.
5 Thy rod and thy staff, * they have comforted me.
6 Thou hast prepared a table before me * against them that afflict me.
7 Thou hast anointed my head with oil; * and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
8 And thy mercy will follow me * all the days of my life.
9 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord * unto length of days.
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.
Parátur nobis mensa Dómini advérsus omnes qui tríbulant nos.
The Lord prepareth His Table before us in the presence of our enemies.

Psalmus 41.
Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te Deus.
2 Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
3 Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte: * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
4 Hæc recordátus sum, et effúdi in me ánimam meam: * quóniam transíbo in locum tabernáculi admirábilis, usque ad domum Dei.
5 In voce exsultatiónis, et confessiónis: * sonus epulántis.
6 Quare tristis es ánima mea? * et quare contúrbas me?
7 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
8 Ad meípsum ánima mea conturbáta est: * proptérea memor ero tui de terra Jordánis, et Hermóniim a monte módico.
9 Abýssus abýssum ínvocat, * in voce cataractárum tuárum.
10 Omnia excélsa tua, et fluctus tui * super me transiérunt.
11 In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam: * et nocte cánticum ejus.
12 Apud me orátio Deo vitæ meæ, * dicam Deo: Suscéptor meus es.
13 Quare oblítus es mei? * et quare contristátus incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
14 Dum confringúntur ossa mea, * exprobravérunt mihi qui tríbulant me inimíci mei.
15 Dum dicunt mihi per síngulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus? * quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me?
16 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
7 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
8 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
9 Deep calleth on deep, * at the noise of thy flood-gates.
10 All thy heights and thy billows * have passed over me.
11 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
12 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
13 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
14 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
15 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
16 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
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.

De Sermóne sancti Joánnis Chrysóstomi.
From the Sermons of St. John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople
Ex eadem Homil. 60.
Unicuíque fidélium Christus semetípsum per mystéria commíscet, et quos génuit, per semetípsum enútrit, nec álteri tradit: per hoc tibi rursum persuádens, quod carnem tuam assúmpsit. Ne torpeámus ígitur tanta digni caritáte et honóre putáti. Nonne vidétis quanta promptitúdine párvuli papíllas cápiunt, et quanto ímpetu lábia ubéribus infígunt? Accedámus cum tanta nos quoque alacritáte ad hanc mensam, et ad úbera póculi spiritális: quinímo cum longe majóri trahámus, tamquam infántes lacténtes, spíritus grátiam: et unus sit nobis dolor hac esca privári. Non sunt humánæ virtútis ópera, hæc quæ proponúntur: qui tunc ipsa fecit in illa cœna, idem ea nunc quoque facit. Nos ministrórum tenémus locum: qui vero sanctíficat ea et immútat, ipse est. Nullus ítaque Judas assístat, nullus avárus: nam tales mensa non súscipit. Si quis est discípulus, adsit: ait enim: Cum discípulis meis fácio Pascha. Hæc est illa mensa, et minus nihil habet. Non enim illam quidem Christus, hanc autem homo pérficit: verum et hanc ipse quoque.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
In this mysterious Sacrament Christ doth mingle Himself with all and each of His faithful ones. They are His children, and He nurseth them Himself, and giveth them not over unto another, herein again assuring us that the Flesh He hath taken unto Himself is ours. We then, who have been deemed meet to be treated with such love and such honour, let us be wakeful See ye not how eagerly the sucklings seize on the breasts, how readily they fix their mouths on the paps Let us, with like eagerness, draw nigh to that Table, and suck at that spiritual Cup. Yea, let us prize that gracious Food as the suckling doth its mother's breast, and hold it the great woe of life to be cut off from that Banquet. Here there are set before us no works of man's power He That worked at that Last Supper, the Same worketh the same here still. As for us Priests, we hold the place of His ministers, but He Which halloweth and changeth is He. Hither let there draw nigh no Judas, nor covetous one this is no Table for him. But he which is Christ's disciple, let him come for the Lord saith "I will keep the Passover with My disciples," (Matth. xxvi. 18.) This is that Passover Table, and it is all Christ's what is wrought there is not some of it Christ's work, and some of it man's work, but it is all His work and not another's.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Inhumánus accédat nemo, nemo crudélis et immiséricors, nemo prorsus immúndus. Hæc ad communicántes dico, et ad vos ministrántes. Nam et ad vos sermónem convértere necessárium est, ut multo cum stúdio hæc dona distribuátis. Non parva vobis ímminet últio, si quemquam, illíus culpæ cónscii, hujus mensæ partícipem esse concedátis: sanguis ejus de mánibus vestris exquirétur: sive quis dux milítiæ sit, sive præféctus, sive princeps diadémate coronátus, indígne autem accédat, próhibe: majórem illo potestátem habes. Proptérea vos Deus hoc insignívit honóre, ut tália discernátis. Hoc vestra dígnitas est, hoc secúritas, hoc omnis coróna; non ut albam et splendéntem túnicam circumeátis indúti. Verum et tu láice, cum sacerdótem víderis offeréntem, ne ut sacerdótem esse putes hoc faciéntem, sed Christi manum invisibíliter exténsam.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Wither let there draw nigh none brutal, none cruel, none merciless in good sooth, none unclean. I speak to all that take that Holy Communion, and to you also, O ye that do administer the same To you now I turn my speech, to warn you with how great care that Gift is to be given. No slight vengeance is that which awaiteth you if ye admit for a partaker at the Lord's Table the sinner whose guiltiness ye know. At your hands will his blood be required. If a man be a General, a Governor, a crowned Monarch, yet if he come there unworthily, forbid him thou hast greater power than he. To this end hath God exalted you to the honour ye hold, that ye may judge in such matters. This office is your dignity, this is your strength, this is all your crown, this, and not the going about in white robes and glittering vestments. And thou, O layman when thou seest the Priest making the oblation, think not that He Which is then the real Worker is such a Priest as thou seest, but know of a surety that it is Christ's Hand Which is stretched out, albeit unseen by thee.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Audiámus ígitur et sacerdótes et súbditi, quali esca facti sumus digni: audiámus et horreámus. Sanctis cárnibus suis nos dedit impléri, semetípsum appósuit immolátum.

Hoc enim mystérium non a rapína tantum, verum et ab omni vel ténui inimicítia purum esse pénitus jubet: est enim pacis mystérium. Judǽis quidem annuátim propriórum monuménta beneficiórum solemnitátes Deus alligávit: tibi vero síngulis diébus per hæc mystéria. Nullus ítaque Judas hanc mensam petat, nullus Simon. Hi namque duo propter avarítiam períerunt: hoc ígitur bárathrum fugiámus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Let us hear, all of us, both Priests and laymen, let us hear What Food it is whereof we are made worthy let us hear, I say, and let us quake. The Lord satisfieth us with His Own holy Flesh, setting Himself slain before us. What excuse therefore shall we have, if, being so fed as we are, we sin as we do If, eating of the Lamb, we are still wolves If, pastured as the sheep of the flock, we raven like lions This mysterious Sacrament forbiddeth unto us not outrage only, but any the least enmity it is the Mystery of peace. Upon the Jews God laid it to make year by year by solemn festivals a yearly commemoration of His mercies unto them, but upon thee to do this in remembrance of His love to thee, day by day. To this Table then let there draw nigh no Judas Iscariot, no Simon Magus. These men fell through covetousness let us fly that bottomless pit.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

3 Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam: * ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernácula tua.
4 Et introíbo ad altáre Dei: * ad Deum, qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
5 Confitébor tibi in cíthara Deus meus: * quare tristis es ánima mea? et quare contúrbas me?
6 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: * deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2 For thou art God my strength: * why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3 Send forth thy light and thy truth: * they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4 And I will go in to the altar of God: * to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5 To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: * why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
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.

5 Testimónium in Joseph pósuit illud, cum exíret de terra Ægýpti: * linguam, quam non nóverat, audívit.
6 Divértit ab onéribus dorsum ejus: * manus ejus in cóphino serviérunt.
7 In tribulatióne invocásti me, et liberávi te: * exaudívi te in abscóndito tempestátis: probávi te apud aquam contradictiónis.
8 Audi pópulus meus, et contestábor te: * Israël si audíeris me, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum.
9 Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti: * diláta os tuum, et implébo illud.

2 Take up a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity.
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.
6 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me, there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
9 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
10 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.
11 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.
12 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:
13 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
14 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.
15 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, * and filled them with honey out of the rock.
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.

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

Tract. 26. in Joann. post med.
Hic est panis, qui de cœlo descéndit. Hunc panem significávit manna, hunc panem significávit altáre Dei. Sacraménta illa fuérunt: in signis divérsa sunt, sed in re, quæ significátur, pária sunt. Apóstolum audi: Nolo enim vos, inquit, ignoráre fratres, quia patres nostri omnes sub nube fuérunt, et omnes mare transiérunt, et omnes per Móysen baptizáti sunt in nube, et in mari: et omnes eámdem escam spiritálem manducavérunt. Spiritálem útique eámdem: nam corporálem álteram: quia illi manna, nos áliud: spiritálem vero, quam nos, sed patres nostri, non patres illórum, quibus nos símiles sumus, non quibus illi símiles fuérunt. Et adjúngit: Et omnes eúmdem potum spiritálem bibérunt. Aliud illi, áliud nos, sed spécie visíbili quidem, tamen hoc idem significánte virtúte spiritáli. Quómodo enim eúmdem potum? Bibébant, inquit, de spiritáli, sequénte petra: petra autem erat Christus. Inde panis, inde potus: Petra Christus in signo, verus Christus in verbo, et in carne. Et quómodo bibérunt? Percússa est petra de virga bis. Gémina percússio, duo ligna crucis signíficat.

"This is the bread which cometh down from heaven," (v. 50.) By "this bread" the Lord here signifieth both the manna, and That Which we receive at the Altar of God. Both these are, as it were, Sacramental signs, differing indeed somewhat in their outward and visible part, but pointing to the Same Thing signified. Hear what the Apostle saith: "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual meat." (1 Cor. x. 1-3.) This meat was the same spiritually but not really they ate manna we eat Something else. Spiritually they ate What we eat but our fathers not their fathers; unto whom we are like not unto whom they are like. And it is added "And did all drink the same Spiritual drink." They drank one thing, and we drank Another, the difference being in the outer show, the sameness in that the Same Thing is pointed to by both. And what was that Same Drink? "They drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ." Him did bread and rock alike signify. The Rock was a figure, but by the Word and in the Flesh there is the very Christ Himself. And how came they to drink of that rock "Moses lift up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice, and the water came out abundantly." (Num. xx. 11.) These two strokes of the rod upon the rock are a figure of the two beams whereof the Cross was made.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Norunt fidéles corpus Christi, si corpus Christi non négligant esse. Fiant corpus Christi, si volunt vívere de Spíritu Christi. De Spíritu Christi non vivit, nisi corpus Christi. Intellígite fratres mei, quid díxerim. Homo es, et spíritum habes, et corpus habes. Spíritum dico, quæ ánima vocátur, qua constas quod homo es: constas enim ex ánima, et córpore. Habes enim spíritum invisíbilem, corpus visíbile. Dic mihi, quid ex quo vivat? Spíritus tuus vivit ex córpore tuo, an corpus tuum ex spíritu tuo? Respóndet omnis, qui vivit: qui autem hoc non potest respondére, néscio si vivit. Quid respóndet omnis, qui vivit? Corpus útique meum vivit de spíritu meo. Vis ergo et tu vívere de Spíritu Christi? In córpore esto Christi.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Christ's faithful ones discern the Lord's Body while they remain watchful members of His Body. They remain members of His Body as long as they will to live according to His Spirit. The Spirit of Christ giveth life to nothing but the body of Christ. Now, my brethren, understand what I am going to say. Thou art a man, and hast a body and a spirit. By spirit I mean the soul, which causeth thee to be a man at all. Thou art a man, made up of soul and body. thy spirit is unseen, thy body seen. Tell me, which of them is it which giveth animation to the other Doth thy spirit derive animation from thy body, or thy body from thy spirit Every one who liveth will answer for if any one cannot answer this, I know not if he be alive. What will whosoever hath life answer: "Verily, it is my spirit which doth animate my body." Wilt thou then live by the Spirit of Christ? Be of the Body of Christ.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Numquid enim corpus meum vivit de spíritu tuo? Meum vivit de spíritu meo, et tuum de spíritu tuo. Non potest vívere corpus Christi, nisi de Spíritu Christi. Inde est, quod expónens nobis Apóstolus Paulus hunc panem: Unus panis, inquit, unum corpus multi sumus. O sacraméntum pietátis, o signum unitátis, o vínculum caritátis! Qui vult vívere, habet ubi vivat, habet unde vivat. Accédat, credat, incorporétur, ut vivificétur. Non abhórreat a compáge membrórum, non sit putre membrum quod resecári mereátur, non sit distórtum, de quo erubescátur. Sit pulchrum, sit aptum, sit sanum: hǽreat córpori, vivat Deo de Deo. Nunc labóret in terra, ut póstea regnet in cœlo.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Is it not my spirit which doth animate my body My spirit doth animate my body, and thy spirit doth animate thy body. The Body of Christ liveth not save by the Spirit of Christ. Hence it is that the Apostle Paul saith, touching this Bread: "We, being many, are one bread, and one body, for we are all partakers of that one Bread." (1 Cor. x. 17.) O what a Sacrament of love O what a seal of union O what a bond of charity He that willeth to live hath here where to live, and whence to live. Let him come near, let him believe, let him enter into that Body, that he may be quickened. Let him not sever himself from the fit joining-together of all the members let him not be as a mortifying limb, that must needs be cut off, nor a mis-shapen limb, a cause to blush. Let him be goodly, and useful, and healthy. Let him cleave unto the body let him live by God to God let him labour now on earth, that he may reign hereafter in heaven.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Fratres: Ego enim accépi a Dómino quod et trádidi vobis, † quóniam Dóminus Jesus, in qua nocte tradebátur, accépit panem, et grátias agens fregit, et dixit: Accípite, et manducáte: hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradétur: * hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem.
℟. Deo grátias.
Brothers: For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread. And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymnus.
Verbum supérnum pródiens,
Nec Patris linquens déxteram,
Ad opus suum éxiens,
Venit ad vitæ vésperam.
In mortem a discípulo
Suis tradéndus ǽmulis,
Prius in vitæ férculo
Se trádidit discípulis.
Quibus sub bina spécie
Carnem dedit et sánguinem;
Ut dúplicis substántiæ
Totum cibáret hóminem.
Se nascens dedit sócium,
Convéscens in edúlium,
Se móriens in prétium,
Se regnans dat in prǽmium.
O salutáris hóstia,
Quæ cœli pandis óstium,
Bella premunt hostília,
Da robur, fer auxílium.
Uni trinóque Dómino,
Sit sempitérna glória:
Qui vitam sine término
Nobis donet in pátria.
Amen.

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