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.

Te splendor et virtus Patris,
Te vita, Jesu, córdium,
Ab ore qui pendent tuo,
Laudámus inter Angelos.
Tibi mille densa míllium
Ducum coróna mílitat:
Sed éxplicat victor crucem
Míchaël salútis sígnifer.
Dracónis hic dirum caput
In ima pellit tártara,
Ducémque cum rebéllibus
Cœlésti ab arce fúlminat.
Contra ducem supérbiæ
Sequámur hunc nos príncipem,
Ut detur ex Agni throno
Nobis coróna glóriæ.
Patri, simúlque Fílio,
Tibíque sancte Spíritus,
Sicut fuit, sit júgiter
Sæclum per omne glória.
Amen.

Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
2 Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua, * super cœlos.
3 Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.
4 Quóniam vidébo cœlos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum: * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti.
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum?
6 Minuísti eum paulo minus ab Angelis, glória et honóre coronásti eum: * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
7 Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas: ínsuper et pécora campi.
8 Vólucres cœli, et pisces maris, * qui perámbulant sémitas maris.
9 Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
2 For thy magnificence is elevated * above the heavens.
3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, * that pass through the paths of the sea.
9 O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in 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.

Psalmus 10.
In Dómino confído: quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
2 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
3 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * justus autem quid fecit?
4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cœlo sedes ejus:
5 Oculi ejus in paúperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord's throne is in heaven.
5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
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.
Laudémus Dóminum, quem laudant Angeli, quem Chérubim et Séraphim, Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus proclámant.

Psalmus 14.
Dómine quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * aut quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
3 Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
4 Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
5 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
6 Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.
7 Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:
4 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
5 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
6 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
7 He that doth these things * shall not be moved for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Lesson from the book of Daniel
Dan. 7. c.
Aspiciébam donec throni pósiti sunt, et antíquus diérum sedit: vestiméntum ejus cándidum quasi nix, et capílli cápitis ejus quasi lana munda: thronus ejus flammæ ignis: rotæ ejus ignis accénsus. Flúvius ígneus, rapidúsque egrediebátur a fácie ejus. Míllia míllium ministrábant ei, et décies míllies centéna míllia assistébant ei: judícium sedit, et libri apérti sunt. Aspiciébam propter vocem sermónum grándium, quos cornu illud loquebátur: et vidi quóniam interfécta esset béstia, et periísset corpus ejus, et tráditum esset ad comburéndum igni.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. A swift stream of fire issued forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened. I beheld because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt:
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Die autem vigésima et quarta mensis primi, eram juxta flúvium magnum, qui est Tigris. Et levávi óculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir unus vestítus líneis, et renes ejus accíncti auro obrízo: et corpus ejus quasi chrysólithus, et fácies ejus velut spécies fúlguris, et óculi ejus ut lampas ardens: et bráchia ejus, et quæ deórsum sunt usque ad pedes, quasi spécies æris candéntis: et vox sermónum ejus ut vox multitúdinis. Vidi autem ego Dániel solus visiónem: porro viri qui erant mecum, non vidérunt: sed terror nímius írruit super eos, et fugérunt in abscónditum. Ego autem relíctus solus vidi visiónem grandem hanc: et non remánsit in me fortitúdo, sed et spécies mea immutáta est in me, et emárcui, nec hábui quidquam vírium.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month I was by the great river which is the Tigris. And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold: And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves. And I being left alone saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Et audívi vocem sermónum ejus: et aúdiens jacébam consternátus super fáciem meam, et vultus meus hærébat terræ. Et ecce manus tétigit me, et eréxit me super génua mea, et super artículos mánuum meárum. Et dixit ad me: Dániel vir desideriórum, intéllige verba, quæ ego loquor ad te, et sta in gradu tuo: nunc enim sum missus ad te. Cumque dixísset mihi sermónem istum, steti tremens. Et ait ad me: Noli metúere Dániel: quia ex die primo quo posuísti cor tuum ad intelligéndum ut te afflígeres in conspéctu Dei tui, exaudíta sunt verba tua: et ego veni propter sermónes tuos. Princeps autem regni Persárum réstitit mihi vigínti et uno diébus: et ecce Míchaël, unus de princípibus primis, venit in adjutórium meum, et ego remánsi ibi juxta regem Persárum. Veni autem ut docérem te quæ ventúra sunt pópulo tuo in novíssimis diébus, quóniam adhuc vísio in dies.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard, I lay in a consternation, upon my face, and my face was close to the ground. And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands. And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling. And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me one and twenty days: and behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there by the king of the Persians. But I am come to teach thee what things shall befall thy people in the latter days, for as yet the vision is for days.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

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.

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.

2 Quia ipse super mária fundávit eum: * et super flúmina præparávit eum.
3 Quis ascéndet in montem Dómini? * aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?
4 Innocens mánibus et mundo corde, † qui non accépit in vano ánimam suam, * nec jurávit in dolo próximo suo.
5 Hic accípiet benedictiónem a Dómino: * et misericórdiam a Deo salutári suo.
6 Hæc est generátio quæréntium eum, * quæréntium fáciem Dei Jacob.
7 Attóllite portas príncipes vestras, † et elevámini portæ æternáles: * et introíbit Rex glóriæ.
8 Quis est iste Rex glóriæ? † Dóminus fortis et potens: * Dóminus potens in prǽlio.
9 Attóllite portas príncipes vestras, † et elevámini portæ æternáles: * et introíbit Rex glóriæ.
10 Quis est iste Rex glóriæ? * Dóminus virtútum ipse est Rex glóriæ.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: * the world, and all they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; * and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: * or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, † who hath not taken his soul in vain, * nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, * of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? † the Lord who is strong and mighty: * the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
10 Who is this King of Glory? * the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
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.

Sermo sancti Gregórii Papæ.
Sermon by Pope St. Gregory.
Ex Homil. 34. in Evang., ante medium.
Novem Angelórum órdines dícimus, quia vidélicet esse, testánte sacro elóquio scimus: Angelos, Archángelos, Virtútes, Potestátes, Principátus, Dominatiónes, Thronos, Chérubim atque Séraphim. Esse namque Angelos et Archángelos pene omnes sacri elóquii páginæ testántur: Chérubim vero atque Séraphim sæpe, ut notum est, libri prophetárum loquúntur. Quátuor quoque órdinum nómina Paulus Apóstolus ad Ephésios enúmerat, dicens: Supra omnem Principátum, et Potestátem, et Virtútem, et Dominatiónem. Qui rursus ad Colossénses scribens, ait: Sive Throni, sive Potestátes, sive Principátus, sive Dominatiónes. Dum ergo illis quátuor, quæ ad Ephésios dixit, conjungúntur Throni, quinque sunt órdines: quibus dum Angeli et Archángeli, Chérubim atque Séraphim adjúncta sunt, procul dúbio novem esse Angelórum órdines inveniúntur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
We say that there are nine Orders of Angels, for, by the witness of the holy Word, we know that there be Angels, Archangels, Mights, Powers, Principalities, Dominions, Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim. Nearly every page of the holy Word witnesseth that there be Angels and Archangels. The books of the Prophets, as is well known, do oftentimes make mention of Cherubim and Seraphim. Paul, writing to the Ephesians, (i. 21,) counteth up the names of four Orders, where he saith: "The Father of glory raised (Christ) from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all Principality, and Power, and Might, and Dominion, (and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.)" And the same, again, writing to the Colossians, (i. 16,) saith: "By (the Son) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be Thrones, or Dominions, or Principalities, or Powers; (all things were created by Him and for Him.)" If, then, we add the Thrones to the four Orders of which he spake unto the Ephesians, we have five Orders; and when we add unto them the Angels and the Archangels, the Cherubim and the Seraphim, we find that the Orders of Angels are beyond all doubt nine.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Sciéndum vero quod Angelórum vocábulum nomen est offícii, non natúræ. Nam sancti illi cœléstis pátriæ spíritus semper quidem sunt spíritus, sed semper vocári Angeli nequáquam possunt: quia tunc solum sunt Angeli, cum per eos áliqua nuntiántur. Unde et per Psalmístam dícitur: Qui facit Angelos suos spíritus. Ac si paténter dicat: Qui eos, quos semper habet spíritus, étiam cum volúerit, Angelos facit. Hi autem qui mínima núntiant, Angeli: qui vero summa annúntiant, Archángeli vocántur. Hinc est enim quod ad Maríam Vírginem non quílibet Angelus, sed Gábriel Archángelus míttitur. Ad hoc quippe ministérium, summum Angelum veníre dignum fúerat, qui summum ómnium nuntiábat. Qui idcírco étiam privátis nomínibus censéntur, ut signétur per vocábula, étiam in operatióne quid váleant. Míchaël namque, Quis ut Deus? Gábriel autem, Fortitúdo Dei: Ráphaël vero dícitur Medicína Dei.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But we must know that the word Angel is the designation, not of a nature, but of an office. Those holy spirits in the heavenly fatherland are always spirits, but they may no wise be always called Angels, (which is, being interpreted, messengers,) for they are Angels only when they are sent as Messengers. Hence also it is said by the Psalmist: (ciii. 5,) Who makest spirits thine Angels! As if it were: Of them who are always with Him as spirits, He doth somewhiles make use as Messengers. They who go on the lesser messages are called Angels they who go on the greater Archangels. Hence it is that unto the Virgin Mary was sent no common Angel, but the Archangel Gabriel. For the delivery of this, the highest message, it was meet that there should be sent the highest Angel. Their individual names also are so given as to signify the kind of ministry wherein each is powerful. Michael signifieth: Who-is-like-unto-God? Gabriel, the Strength-of-God, and Raphael, the Medicine-of-God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Et quóties miræ virtútis áliquid ágitur, Míchaël mitti perhibétur: ut ex ipso actu et nómine detur intélligi, quia nullus potest fácere, quod fácere prǽvalet Deus. Unde et ille antíquus hostis, qui Deo esse per supérbiam símilis concupívit, dicens: In cœlum conscéndam, super astra cœli exaltábo sólium meum, símilis ero Altíssimo: dum in fine mundi in sua virtúte relinquétur extrémo supplício periméndus, cum Michaéle Archángelo præliatúrus esse perhibétur, sicut per Joánnem dícitur: Factum est prǽlium cum Michaéle Archángelo. Ad Maríam quoque Gábriel míttitur, qui Dei fortitúdo nominátur. Illum quippe nuntiáre veniébat, qui ad debellándas aéreas potestátes húmilis apparére dignátus est. Ráphaël quoque interpretátur, ut díximus, Medicína Dei: quia vidélicet dum Tobíæ óculos quasi per offícium curatiónis tétigit, cæcitátis ejus ténebras tersit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
As often as anything very mighty is to be done, we see that Michael is sent, that by that very thing, and by his name, we may remember that none is able to do as God doeth. Hence that old enemy whose pride hath puffed him up to be fain to be like unto God, even he who said, I will ascend unto heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be like the Most High, (Isa. xiv. 13, 14,) this old enemy, when at the end of the world he is about to perish in the last death, having no strength but his own, is shown unto us a-fighting with Michael the Archangel, even as saith John, (Apoc. xii. 7): There was war in heaven Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. Unto Mary is sent Gabriel, whose name is interpreted the Strength of God, for he came to herald the appearing of Him Who was content to appear lowly that He might fight down the powers of the air. Raphael, also, as we have said, signifieth the Medicine-of-God, and it is the name of him who touched as a physician the eyes of Tobias, and cleared away his blindness.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful: * longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always be angry: * nor will he threaten for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: * nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: * he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, * so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him: * For he knoweth our frame.
14 He remembereth that we are dust: * Man's days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
15 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: * and he shall know his place no more.
16 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity * and unto eternity upon them that fear him:
17 And his justice unto children's children, * to such as keep his covenant,
18 And are mindful of his commandments * to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: * and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: * you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: * you ministers of his that do his will.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works: * in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Matth. 18.
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Et réliqua.
At that time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying: Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And so on.
Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri.
Homily by St. Jerome, Priest.
Lib. 3. Comm. in cap. 18. Matth.
Post invéntum statérem, post tribúta réddita, quid sibi vult Apostolórum repentína interrogátio, Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Quia víderant pro Petro et Dómino idem tribútum rédditum, ex æqualitáte prétii arbitráti sunt Petrum ómnibus Apóstolis esse prælátum, qui in redditióne tribúti Dómino fúerat comparátus: ídeo intérrogant quis major sit in regno cœlórum. Vidénsque Jesus cogitatiónes eórum, et causas erróris intélligens, vult desidérium glóriæ humilitátis contentióne sanáre.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
After the finding of the piece of money in the fish's mouth, after the payment of the tribute, what meaneth this sudden question of the Apostles? Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? They had seen that the same tribute-money was paid for Peter as for the Lord, and from this equality of reckoning they gathered that Peter was Prince of all the Apostles, seeing that he had been appraised at the same price as his Master. Therefore they ask, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, and understanding wherefore they erred, is fain to take away the desire of glory by the love of lowliness.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Si autem manus tua, vel pes tuus scandalízat te, abscínde eum, et prójice abs te. Necésse est quidem veníre scándala: væ tamen ei est hómini, qui, quod necésse est ut fiat in mundo, vítio suo facit ut per se fiat. Igitur omnis truncátur afféctus, et univérsa propínquitas amputátur, ne per occasiónem pietátis unusquísque credéntium scándalis páteat. Si, inquit, ita est quis tibi conjúnctus, ut manus, pes, óculus, et est útilis atque sollícitus, et acútus ad perspiciéndum: scándalum autem tibi facit, et propter dissonántiam morum te pértrahit in gehénnam: mélius est ut et propinquitáte ejus, et emoluméntis carnálibus cáreas: ne dum vis lucrifácere cognátos et necessários, causam hábeas ruinárum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Therefore, if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee for it must needs be that offences come, but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! because by his sin he maketh, and maketh to be his own work, that which must needs be in the world. Away, then, with every affection and every kinship, lest thy love should throw a stumbling-block before a single believer. Be there any, saith He, who is as near to thee as thine hand, thy foot, or thine eye, useful, careful, far-seeing, but who layeth a stumbling-block before thee, and whose diverse way of life may draw thee to hell it is better for thee to lose such an one and thy worldly happiness with him, than to live surrounded by them that are near and needful to thee, and to pile up unto thyself damnation.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Dico vobis, quia Angeli eórum in cœlis semper vident fáciem Patris mei. Supra díxerat, per manum, et pedem, et óculum omnes propinquitátes et necessitúdines, quæ scándalum fácere póterant, amputándas: austeritátem ítaque senténtiæ subjécto præcépto témperat, dicens: Vidéte ne contemnátis unum ex pusíllis istis. Sic, inquit, præcípio severitátem, ut commiscéri cleméntiam dóceam: quia Angeli eórum in cœlis vident semper fáciem Patris. Magna dígnitas animárum, ut unaquǽque hábeat ab ortu nativitátis in custódiam sui Angelum delegátum. Unde légimus in Apocalýpsi Joánnis: Angelo Ephesi, et reliquárum ecclesiárum, scribe hæc. Apóstolus quoque prǽcipit velári cápita in ecclésiis feminárum propter Angelos.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
I say unto you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father. Above, He had said that every tie of kinship or of convenience which might become a stumbling-block, albeit close and needful as hand, or foot, or eye, was to be cut off, but here He softeneth the hardness of that precept: Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones. Hardness, saith He, I command not save as teaching tenderness withal; in heaven their Angels do always behold the face of My Father. Oh, how great is the dignity of souls, whereof every one hath from its birth an Angel appointed to guard it! Hence, we read in the Revelation of John unto the Angel of the Church of Ephesus, (and so of the others,) write, (ii. I) And the Apostle (Paul) also saith: The woman (that is, in the Church) ought to have a covering on her head, because of the Angels. (i Cor. xi. 10.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

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.
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.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
