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.

Dómine * Dóminus noster, quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
Psalmus 8. 2-9.
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.
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.
Dómine Dóminus noster, quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
In nómine Jesu * omne genu flectátur cœléstium, terréstrium, et infernórum.
At the Name of Jesus, * let every knee bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.
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.
In nómine Jesu omne genu flectátur cœléstium, terréstrium, et infernórum.
At the Name of Jesus, let every knee bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.
Confitémini Dómino, * et invocáte nomen ejus: mementóte, quóniam excélsum est nomen ejus.
Praise the Lord, * and call upon His Name; remember that His Name is exalted.
Psalmus 23.
Dómini est terra, et plenitúdo ejus: * orbis terrárum, et univérsi qui hábitant in eo.
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.

De Actibus Apostolórum.
From the Acts of the Apostles.
Act. 3.
Petrus autem et Joánnes ascendébant in templum ad horam oratiónis nonam. Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex útero matris suæ, bajulabátur: quem ponébant quotídie ad portam templi, quæ dícitur Speciósa, ut péteret eleemósynam ab introëúntibus in templum. Is cum vidísset Petrum, et Joánnem incipiéntes introíre in templum, rogábat ut eleemósynam accíperet. Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Joánne, dixit: Réspice in nos. At ille intendébat in eos, sperans se áliquid acceptúrum ab eis. Petrus autem dixit: Argéntum et aurum non est mihi: quod autem hábeo, hoc tibi do: In nómine Jesu Christi Nazaréni surge, et ámbula. Et apprehénsa manu ejus déxtera, allevávit eum, et prótinus consolidátæ sunt bases ejus, et plantæ. Et exsíliens stetit, et ambulábat: et intrávit cum illis in templum ámbulans, et exsíliens, et laudans Deum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Now Peter and John went up into the temple at the ninth hour of prayer. And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb, was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple. He, when he had seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. But Peter with John fastening his eyes upon him, said: Look upon us. But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them. But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise, and walk. And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength. And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Et vidit omnis pópulus eum ambulántem, et laudántem Deum. Cognoscébant autem illum, quod ipse erat, qui ad eleemósynam sedébat ad Speciósam portam templi: et impléti sunt stupóre et éxtasi in eo, quod contígerat illi. Cum tenéret autem Petrum et Joánnem, cucúrrit omnis pópulus ad eos ad pórticum, quæ appellátur Salomónis, stupéntes. Videns autem Petrus, respóndit ad pópulum: Viri Israëlítæ quid mirámini in hoc, aut nos quid intuémini, quasi nostra virtúte aut potestáte fecérimus hunc ambuláre? Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrórum glorificávit Fílium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidístis, et negástis ante fáciem Piláti, judicánte illo dimítti. Vos autem sanctum, et justum negástis, et petístis virum homicídam donári vobis: auctórem vero vitæ interfecístis, quem Deus suscitávit a mórtuis, cujus nos testes sumus. Et in fide nóminis ejus hunc, quem vos vidístis et nostis, confirmávit nomen ejus: et fides, quæ per eum est, dedit íntegram sanitátem istam in conspéctu ómnium vestrum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God. And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened; and the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Act. 4.
Factum est autem in crástinum, ut congregaréntur príncipes eórum, et senióres, et scribæ in Jerúsalem: et Annas princeps sacerdótum, et Cáiphas, et Joánnes, et Alexánder, et quotquot erant de génere sacerdotáli. Et statuéntes eos in médio, interrogábant: In qua virtúte, aut in quo nómine fecístis hoc vos? Tunc replétus Spíritu sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Príncipes pópuli, et senióres audíte: Si nos hódie dijudicámur in benefácto hóminis infírmi, in quo iste salvus factus est, notum sit ómnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israël: quia in nómine Dómini nostri Jesu Christi Nazaréni, quem vos crucifixístis, quem Deus suscitávit a mórtuis, in hoc iste adstat coram vobis sanus. Hic est lapis, qui reprobátus est a vobis ædificántibus, qui factus est in caput ánguli: et non est in álio áliquo salus. Nec enim áliud nomen est sub cœlo datum homínibus, in quo opórteat nos salvos fíeri.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes, and ancients, and scribes, were gathered together in Jerusalem; And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest. And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, have you done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear: If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole: Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole. This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: * the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: * God will help it in the morning early.
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: * he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth, * Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth.
9 He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: * and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Be still and see that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

2 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.
3 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.
4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her: * and the Highest himself hath founded her?
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis.
From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux)
Sermo 15. super Cantica, circa medium.
Non otióse Spíritus sanctus nomen sponsi óleo cómparat, cum ita dóceat sponsam ad sponsam clamáre: Oleum effúsum nomen tuum. Oleum enim lucet, pascit, et ungit. Fovet ignem, nutrit carnem, lenit dolórem: lux, cibus, medicína. Vide idem nunc et de sponsi nómine: Lucet prædicátum, pascit recogitátum, invocátum lenit, et ungit. Et percurrámus síngula. Unde putas in toto orbe tanta et tam súbita fídei lux, nisi de prædicáto nómine Jesu? Nonne in hujus nóminis luce Deus nos vocávit in admirábile lumen suum, quibus illuminátis, et in lúmine isto vidéntibus lumen, dicat mérito Paulus: Fuístis aliquándo ténebræ, nunc autem lux in Dómino?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
It is not idly that the Holy Ghost likeneth the Name of the Bridegroom to oil, when He maketh the Bride say to the Bridegroom: thy Name is as oil poured forth. Oil indeed giveth light, meat, and unction. It feedeth fire, it nourisheth the flesh, it sootheth pain; it is light, food, and healing. Behold, Thus also is the Name of the Bridegroom. To preach it, is to give light; to think of it, is to feed the soul; to call on it, is to win grace and unction. Let us take it point by point. What, thinkest thou, hath made the light of faith so suddenly and so brightly to shine in the whole world but the preaching of the Name of Jesus? Is it not in the light of this Name that God hath called us into His marvellous light, even that light wherewith we being enlightened, and in His light seeing light, Paul saith truly of us: Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Hoc dénique nomen coram régibus, et Géntibus, et fíliis Israël portáre jussus est idem Apóstolus; et portábat nomen tamquam lumen, et illuminábat pátriam, et clamábat ubíque: Nox præcéssit, dies autem appropinquávit. Abjiciámus ergo ópera tenebrárum, et induámur arma lucis, sicut in die honéste ambulémus. Et monstrábat ómnibus lucérnam super candelábrum, annúntians in omni loco Jesum, et hunc crucifíxum. Quómodo lux ista resplénduit ac perstrínxit cunctórum intuéntium óculos, quando de ore Petri, tamquam fulgur egrédiens, claudi uníus corporáles plantas solidávit et bases, multósque spirituáliter cæcos illuminávit? Numquid non ignem sparsit, cum ait: In nómine Jesu Christi Nazaréni surge, et ámbula?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
This is the Name which the Apostle was commanded to bear before Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel, the Name which he bore as a light to enlighten his people, crying everywhere The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light, let us walk honestly as in the dayligth, He pointed out to all that candle set upon a candlestick, preaching in every place Jesus and Him crucified. How did that Name shine forth and dazzle every eye that beheld it, when it came like lightning out of the mouth of Peter to give bodily strength to the feet of the lame man, and to clear the sight of many a blind soul? Cast he not fire when he said: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk?
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Nec tantum lux est nomen Jesu, sed est et cibus. An non tóties confortáris, quóties recordáris? Quid æque mentem cogitántis impínguat? Quid ita exercitátos réparat sensus, virtútes róborat, végetat mores bonos atque honéstos, castas fovet affectiónes? Aridus est omnis ánimæ cibus, si non óleo isto infúnditur; insípidus est, si non hoc sale condítur. Si scribas, non sapit mihi, nisi légero ibi Jesum. Si dísputes, aut cónferas, non sapit mihi, nisi sonúerit ibi Jesus. Jesus mel in ore, in aure melos, in corde júbilus. Sed est et medicína. Tristátur áliquis nostrum? Véniat in cor ejus Jesus, et inde sáliat in os. Et ecce ad exórtum nóminis lumen, núbilum omne díffugit, redit serénum. Lábitur quis in crimen? currit ínsuper ad láqueum mortis desperándo? Nonne, si ínvocet nomen vitæ, conféstim respirábit ad vitam?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The Name of Jesus is not a Name of light only, but it is meat also. Dost thou ever call it to mind, and remain unstrengthened? Is there anything like it to enrich the soul of him that thinketh of it? What is there like it to restore the weakened senses, to fortify strength, to give birth to good lives and pure affections? The soul is fed on husks if that whereon it feedeth lack seasoning with this salt. If thou writest, thou hast no meaning for me if I read not of Jesus there. If thou preach, or dispute, thou hast no meaning for me if I hear not of Jesus there. The mention of Jesus is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, and gladness in the heart. It is our healing too. Is any sorrowful among us? Let the thought of Jesus come into his heart, and spring to his mouth. Behold, when the day of that Name beginneth to break, every cloud will flee away, and there will be a great calm. Doth any fall into sin? Doth any draw nigh to an hopeless death? And if he but call on the life-giving Name of Jesus, will he not draw the breath of a new life again?
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.
A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
Luc. 2. c.
In illo témpore: Postquam consummáti sunt dies octo, ut circumciderétur puer, vocátum est nomen ejus Jesus. Et réliqua.
In that time: when eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb. And so on.
Homilía sancti Bernárdi Abbátis.
Homily by St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux)
Serm. 1. de Circumcisione.
Magnum et mirábile sacraméntum! Circumcíditur puer, et vocátur Jesus. Quid sibi vult ista connéxio? Circumcísio nempe magis salvándi, quam Salvatóris esse vidétur: et Salvatórem circumcídere pótius decet, quam circumcídi. Sed agnósce mediatórem Dei et hóminum, qui ab ipso nativitátis suæ exórdio divínis humána sóciat, ima summis. Náscitur ex mulíere, sed cui fœcunditátis fructus sic accédat, ut non décidat flos virginitátis. Pannis invólvitur: sed panni ipsi angélicis laúdibus honorántur. Abscónditur in præsépio: sed próditur radiánte stella de cœlo. Sic et circumcísio veritátem suscéptæ probat humanitátis: et nomen, quod est super omne nomen, glóriam índicat majestátis. Circumcíditur tamquam verus Abrahæ fílius: Jesus vocátur tamquam verus Fílius Dei.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Behold a mystery, great and full of wonder! The Child is circumcised, and His Name is called Jesus. Why are these two things thus mentioned together? It would seem that circumcision should rather be for the saved than for the Saviour; that the Saviour ought rather to be Circumciser than circumcised. But behold here the Mediator between God and men, how even from His childhood He joineth the things of the Highest to the things of the lowest, the things of God to the things of men. He is born of a woman, but her womb is made fruitful without the loss of the flower of her virginity. He is wrapped in swaddling-bands, but these swaddling-bands are a theme for the jubilation of angels. He is laid in a manger, but a bright star standeth in heaven over the place. So also in His circumcision, the ceremony gave proof of the reality of the Manhood which He had taken, and that Name which is above every name proclaimed the glory of His Blessed Majesty. As very son of Abraham He underwent circumcision; He assumed the Name of Jesus as very Son of God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Neque enim ad instar priórum meus iste Jesus nomen vácuum aut ináne portat. Non est in eo magni nóminis umbra, sed véritas. Cœ́litus síquidem índitum nomen Evangelísta testátur, quod vocátum est ab Angelo, priúsquam in útero conciperétur. Et atténde verbi profunditátem: Postquam natus est Jesus. Jesus vocátur ab homínibus, qui vocátus est ab Angelo, priúsquam in útero conciperétur. Idem quippe et Angeli Salvátor, et hóminis: sed hóminis ab incarnatióne, Angeli ab inítio creatúræ. Vocátum est, ait, nomen ejus Jesus, quod vocátum est ab Angelo. In ore ergo duórum vel trium téstium stat omne verbum: et ipsum, quod in Prophéta abbreviátum, maniféstius in Evangélio légitur caro factum. ¶ Mérito sane, dum circumcíditur puer, qui natus est nobis, Salvátor vocátur: quod vidélicet ex hoc jam cœ́perit operári salútem nostram, immaculátum illum pro nobis sánguinem fundens. Neque enim jam quǽrere est Christiánis, cur volúerit Dóminus Christus circumcídi. Propter hoc síquidem circumcísus est, propter quod natus, propter quod passus. Nihil horum propter se, sed ómnia propter eléctos. Nec in peccáto génitus, nec a peccáto circumcísus, nec mórtuus est pro peccáto suo: magis autem propter delícta nostra. Quod vocátum est, inquit, ab Angelo, priúsquam in útero conciperétur. Vocátum plane, non impósitum. Nempe hoc ei nomen est ab ætérno. A natúra própria habet, ut sit Salvátor: innátum est ei nomen hoc, non índitum ab humána, vel angélica creatúra.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Why Jesus beareth not that Name as others have borne it before Him, as a vain and empty title. It is not in Him the shadow of a great Name, but the very meaning of that Name. That His Name was revealed from heaven, is attested by the Evangelist, where it is written, Which was so named of the Angel before He was conceived in the womb. After Jesus was born, men called Him Jesus, but angels called Him Jesus, before He was conceived in the womb. The One Lord is the Saviour of angels and of men; of men, since His Incarnation; of angels, from the beginning of their creation. His Name, saith the Evangelist, was called Jesus, which was so named of the Angel before He was conceived in the womb. In the mouth therefore of two or three witnesses is every word established; and that word whereof the Prophet spoke as cut short, is set forth at length in the Gospel: the Word made Flesh. ¶ It is no wonder that it should be at His circumcision that the Name of Jesus (which is, being interpreted, Saviour) is given to the Child Who is born unto us, for it was then that He for the first time shed that sinless Blood Which is the mean whereby He hath chosen to work out our salvation. It is no matter for the speculation of Christians why the Lord Christ was pleased to be circumcised. He was circumcised for the same reason for which He was born, and for which He suffered. Neither one nor the other was for Himself, but all for the sake of the elect. He was not born in sin; He was not circumcised to separate Him from sin; neither did He die for sins of His own, but for ours. Which was so named of the Angel before He was conceived in the womb. The Angel indeed gave Him that title of Saviour, but not for the first time. Saviour is His Name from everlasting; He hath it of His own proper nature to save. This title He hath in Himself, not by the gift of anything that He hath made, be it man or Angel.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Austin, Bishop.
Tract. 9. in Joannem, post initium.
Quod Dóminus invitátus venit ad núptias, étiam excépta mýstica significatióne, confirmáre vóluit, quod ipse fecit núptias. Futúri enim erant, de quibus dixit Apóstolus, prohibéntes núbere, et dicéntes quod malum essent núptiæ, et quod diábolus eas fecísset: cum idem Dóminus dicat in Evangélio interrogátus, utrum líceat hómini dimíttere uxórem suam ex quálibet causa, non licére, excépta causa fornicatiónis. In qua responsióne, si meminístis, hoc ait: Quod Deus conjúnxit, homo non séparet. ¶ Et qui bene erudíti sunt in fide cathólica novérunt, quod Deus fécerit núptias: et sicut conjúnctio a Deo, ita divórtium a diábolo sit. Sed proptérea in causa fornicatiónis licet uxórem dimíttere: quia ipsa esse uxor prior nóluit, quæ fidem fidem conjugálem maríto non servávit. Nec illæ quæ virginitátem Deo vovent, quamquam ampliórem gradum honóris et sanctitátis in Ecclésia téneant, sine núptiis sunt: nam et ipsæ pértinent ad núptias cum tota Ecclésia, in quibus núptiis sponsus est Christus. ¶ Ac per hoc ergo Dóminus invitátus venit ad núptias, ut conjugális cástitas firmarétur, et ostenderétur sacraméntum nuptiárum: quia et illárum nuptiárum sponsus persónam Dómini figurábat, cui dictum est: Servásti vinum bonum usque adhuc. Bonum enim vinum Christus servávit usque adhuc, id est, Evangélium suum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Even setting aside any mystical interpretation, the fact that the Lord was pleased to be asked, and to go to a marriage, showeth plainly enough that He is the Author and Blesser of marriage. There were yet to be those of whom the Apostle hath warned us as forbidding to marry; who say that marriage is a bad thing in itself, and a work of the devil. Yet we read in the Gospel that when the Lord was asked, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? He answered that it was not lawful, except it were for fornication. In which answer ye will remember that He used these words: What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ¶ They who are well instructed in the Catholic religion know that God is the Author and Blesser of marriage; and that, whereas joining together in marriage is of God, divorce is of the devil. But it is lawful for a man to put away his wife in case of fornication, For by not keeping a wife's faith to her husband she herself hath first willed not to be wife. They also who have made a vow of their virginity to God and have thereby attained to an higher degree of honour and holiness in the Church, are not unmarried, for they are a special part of the marriage of the whole Church, which is the Bride of Christ. ¶ Lord, being asked, went to the marriage, to strengthen the marriage tie, and to shed light on the hidden meaning of matrimony. In that marriage feast the Bridegroom to whom it was said, "Thou hast kept the good wine until now," was a figure of the Lord Christ, Who hath kept until now the good wine, namely the Gospel.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Fratres: Christus humiliávit semetípsum, factus obédiens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. † Propter quod et Deus exaltávit illum, et donávit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen: * ut in nómine Jesu omne genu flectátur.

℟. Thanks be to God.
