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.

Iste Conféssor Dómini coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit beátas
Scándere sedes.
Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans méritum frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuére, membra
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem, celebrésque palmas;
Ut piis ejus précibus juvémur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus, atque virtus,
Qui super cœli sólio corúscans,
Totíus mundi sériem gubérnat
Trinus et unus.
Amen.
Beátus vir, * qui in lege Dómini meditábitur: volúntas ejus pérmanet die ac nocte, et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, semper et prosperabúntur.
Blessed is the man * that doth meditate in the law of the Lord: his delight is therein day and night, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
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.

Blessed and holy is he * that putteth his trust in the Lord, that declareth the decree of the Lord, and is set upon His holy hill.
Psalmus 2.
Quare fremuérunt Gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
4 Qui hábitat in cœlis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hæreditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
10 Et nunc reges intellígite: * erudímini qui judicátis terram.
11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
12 Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.
13 Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus, * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Blessed and holy is he that putteth his trust in the Lord, that declareth the decree of the Lord, and is set upon His holy hill.

Thou, O Lord, art my glory, * Thou art a shield for me: Thou art the Lifter-up of mine head, and Thou hast heard me out of Thy holy hill.
Psalmus 3.
Dómine quid multiplicáti sunt qui tríbulant me? * multi insúrgunt advérsum me.
2 Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
3 Tu autem Dómine suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.
4 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaúdivit me de monte sancto suo.
5 Ego dormívi, et soporátus sum: * et exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.
6 Non timébo míllia pópuli circumdántis me: * exsúrge Dómine salvum me fac, Deus meus.
7 Quóniam tu percussísti omnes adversántes mihi sine causa: * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.
8 Dómini est salus: * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Tu es glória mea, tu es suscéptor meus Dómine: tu exáltans caput meum, et exaudísti me de monte sancto tuo.

Eccli. 31.
Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula: et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesaúris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui pótuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídea stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Blessed is the man that is found without blemish, and hath not gone after gold, neither hath put his trust in riches nor in treasure. Who is he, and we will call him blessed? For wonderful things hath he done in his life. Whoso hath been tried thereby, and found perfect, the same shall have glory for ever; who might offend, and hath not offended; or done evil, and hath not done it. His goods are established in the Lord, and all the congregation of the Saints shall declare his alms.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Eccli. 32. c. et 33.
Qui timet Dóminum, excípiet doctrínam ejus: et qui vigiláverint ad illum, invénient benedictiónem. Qui quærit legem, replébitur ab ea: et qui insidióse agit, scandalizábitur in ea. Qui timent Dóminum, invénient judícium justum, et justítias quasi lumen accéndent. Qui credit Deo, atténdit mandátis, et qui confídit in illo, non minorábitur. Timénti Dóminum non occúrrent mala, sed in tentatióne Deus illum conservábit, et liberábit a malis. Sápiens non odit mandáta et justítias, et non illidétur quasi in procélla navis. Homo sensátus credit legi Dei, et lex illi fidélis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Whoso feareth the Lord will receive His discipline: and they that seek Him early shall find His blessing. He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: but the hypocrites shall be offended thereat. They that fear the Lord shall find righteous judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light. He that believeth God taketh heed to the commandments: and he that trusteth in Him shall fare never the worse. There shall no evil happen unto him that feareth the Lord: but in temptation God will keep him, and deliver him from evil. A wise man hateth not the commandments and judgments,
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Eccli. 34. b.
Spíritus timéntium Deum quǽritur, et in respéctu illíus benedicétur. Spes enim illórum in salvántem illos, et óculi Dei in diligéntes se. Qui timet Dóminum, nihil trepidábit, et non pavébit: quóniam ipse est spes ejus. Timéntis Dóminum beáta est ánima ejus. Ad quem réspicit, et quis est fortitúdo ejus? Oculi Dómini super timéntes eum, protéctor poténtiæ firmaméntum virtútis, tégimen ardóris, et umbráculum meridiáni, deprecátio offensiónis, et adjutórium casus, exáltans ánimam, et illúminans óculos, dans sanitátem, et vitam, et benedictiónem.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The spirit of those that fear God is precious, and is blessed in His sight. For their hope is in Him that saveth them, and the eyes of God are upon them that love Him. Whoso feareth the Lord shall fear nothing, nor be afraid, for He is his hope. Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord. To Whom doth he look? And Who is his strength? The eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear Him, He is their mighty protection, and strong stay; a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling. He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes; He giveth health, and life, and blessing.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

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.

Let all those rejoice, * that put their trust in Thee, O Lord, for Thou hast blessed the righteous; Thou hast compassed him with Thy favour as with a shield.
Psalmus 5.
Verba mea aúribus pércipe Dómine, * intéllige clamórem meum.
2 Inténde voci oratiónis meæ, * rex meus et Deus meus.
3 Quóniam ad te orábo: * Dómine mane exaúdies vocem meam.
4 Mane astábo tibi et vidébo: * quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es.
5 Neque habitábit juxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt injústi ante óculos tuos.
6 Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium.
7 Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
8 Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.
9 Dómine deduc me in justítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam.

Give ear, O Lord, to my words, * understand my cry.
2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, * O my King and my God.
3 For to thee will I pray: * O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: * because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
7 The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
8 I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
10 For there is no truth in their mouth; * their heart is vain.
11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
12 Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
13 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
14 And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * For thou wilt bless the just.
15 O Lord as with a shield of thy good will * thou hast crowned us.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

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.

℟. Deo grátias.
John of God was born of Catholic and godly parents in the town of Montemor in Portugal, (in the year 1495.) The lot to which God had elected him was foreshown at his birth by a light shining over the house, and by the ringing of a bell untouched by human hands. He fell at one time into a loose habit of life, but was recalled by the grace of God, and began to show tokens of true reformation. By hearing the Word of God, he so felt himself stirred up to strive after nobler things, that he considered not that to which he had already attained, and yearned to be perfect, as our Father in heaven is perfect. He gave away all his property to the poor and prisoners, and became a gazing-stock to all that knew him, by the strength of his repentance, and the depth of his selfcontempt. On this account he was commonly supposed to be mad, and was once shut up in a lunatic asylum. He was only the more filled with schemes of charity, and collected, by begging, funds sufficient to build a large double Hospital in the town ot Granada. Here he founded the new Order of Hospital Brethren with which he enriched the Church. These Brethren are now spread throughout all parts of the world, and engaged in ministering to the souls and bodies of the sick.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Paupéribus ægrótis, quos própriis quandóque húmeris domum deferébat, nulla re ad ánimæ corporísque salútem profícua déerat.

Cum autem máximum in régio Granaténsi valetudinário excitátum fuísset incéndium, Joánnes impávidus prosíliit in ignem, huc illuc discúrrens, quoúsque tum infírmos húmeris exportátos, tum léctulos e fenéstris projéctos ab igne vindicávit, ac per dimídiam horam inter flammas, jam in imménsum succrescéntes, versátus, exínde divínitus incólumis, univérsis cívibus admirántibus, exívit, in schola caritátis edócens, segniórem in eum fuísse ignem, qui foris ússerat, quam qui intus accénderat.

℟. Deo grátias.
He strove to get for the sick poor, whom he sometimes brought to the Hospital on his own shoulders, whatever was needful for their souls or bodies. His charity was extended to the poor outside of his institution, and he used to supply food privately to necessitous widows, and more so to young women whose virtue was tempted on account of their poverty. He was most careful in encouraging the virtue of purity in all whom he knew. On one occasion when there was a great fire in the hospital at Granada, John bravely entered the burning house, ran from one part of it to another, carried out the sick on his shoulders, and threw the beds out of the windows, and finally, after passing half-an-hour in the midst of the flames, which were now raging with great violence, by the mercy of God left the building uninjured, to the great wonder of all the citizens; thereby to teach all them that love God that the fire which burnt in his heart gave him strength to risk the fire which threatened him from without.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

In this verily do I most chiefly rejoice, for the happiness of that holy servant of God, in that, being taken away hence, and having found here no abiding city, he is become a citizen of that other city, which is the city of the living God: from the Church here he is gone, but he is come unto the Church of the first-born, which are written in heaven; he keepeth holiday with us no more, but he is passed to where he holdeth high festival with Angels. And what be that city, and that Church, and that festival above, Paul biddeth us know, saying: Ye are come unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and unto the Church of the first-born which are written in heaven, and to an innumerable company of Angels.

Homilia 72. in Matth.
Sadducǽis confúsis, pharisǽi rursus aggrediúntur: cumque quiéscere oportéret, decertáre voluérunt: et legis perítiam profiténtem præmíttunt, non díscere, sed tentáre cupiéntes; ac ita intérrogant: Quodnam primum mandátum in lege sit. Nam cum primum illud sit, Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum: putántes causas sibi allatúrum ad mandátum hoc corrigéndum, áliquid addéndo, quóniam Deum se faciébat, hoc modo intérrogant. Quid ígitur Christus? Ut osténdat idcírco ad hæc eos devenísse, quia nulla in eis esset cáritas, sed invídiæ livóre tabéscerent: Díliges, inquit, Dóminum Deum tuum: hoc primum et magnum mandátum est. Secúndum autem símile huic: Díliges próximum tuum sicut teípsum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
When the Pharisees had heard that Christ had put the Sadducees to silence, they gathered themselves together for a fresh attack; just when it behoved them to be quiet, they willed to contend; and so they put forward one of themselves, who professed skill in the law, not wishing to learn, but to lay a snare. This person therefore proposed the question Which is the great commandment in the law? The first and great commandment is Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, but they expected that He would make some exception or addition to this in His Own case, since He made Himself God. (John x. 33.) With this expectation they asked Him the question: But what said Christ? To show that they had adopted this course, because they were loveless, and sick with envy, He answered Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Quamóbrem símile est huic? quóniam hoc illud indúcit, et ab illo rursus munítur. Quicúmque enim male agit, ódio habet lucem, et non venit ad lucem. Et rursus: Dixit insípiens in corde suo: Non est Deus. Deínde séquitur: Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis. Et íterum: Radix ómnium malórum avarítia est: quam quidam appeténtes, erravérunt a fide. Et, Qui díligit me, mandáta mea servábit: quorum caput et radix est: Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum, et próximum tuum sicut teípsum. ¶ Si ergo dilígere Deum, dilígere próximum est (nam si díligis me, o Petre, inquit, pasce oves meas): si étiam diléctio próximi facit ut mandáta custódias: mérito ait in his totam legem et prophétas pendére. Et quemádmodum in superióribus, cum de resurrectióne interrogarétur, plus dócuit quam tentántes petébant: sic in hoc loco de primo interrogátus mandáto, secúndum étiam non valde quam primum inférius, sponte áttulit: secúndum enim est primo símile. Ita occúlte insinuávit, ódio illos ad quæréndum incitári. Cáritas enim, inquit, non æmulátur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Mighty is this second commandment like unto the first? Because the first is the second's source and sanction. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light. (John. iii. 20.) And again The fool hath said in his heart There is no God and there folio weth They are corrupt, and become abominable in their works. (Ps. xiii. I.) And yet again: The love of money is the root of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith. (i Tim. vi. 10.) And yet once more: If ye love Me, keep My commandments. (John xiv. 15,) of which commandments the head and root is Thou shalt love the Lord thy God; and thy neighbour as thyself. ¶ If therefore, to love God is to love our neighbour also, (as it appeared, where it is written: "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? And he said unto Him: 'Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love thee.' Jesus saith unto him: 'Feed My sheep'," John xxi. 17,) and if "love is the fulfilling of the law," (Rom. xiii. 10,) justly doth the Lord say that "on these two commandments hang all the law and the Prophets." And even as when, before this, (23-32,) being interrogated about the Resurrection, He answered them more than they asked, so, now, being interrogated concerning the first and great commandment, He answereth them, of His own accord, touching that second one also, which is little lower than the first, for "the second is like unto it." Herein He would have them understand that it was hatred stirred them up to question Him. For "Charity," saith the Apostle, "envieth not." (1 Cor. xiii. 4.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

In illo témpore: Prope erat pascha Judæórum, et ascéndit Jesus Jerosólymam: et invénit in templo vendéntes boves, et oves, et colúmbas. Et réliqua.
In that time, the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves. And so on.

Homily by St. Austin, Bishop.
Tract. 10. in Joannem, post init.
Quid audívimus fratres? Ecce templum illud figúra adhuc erat, et ejécit inde Dóminus omnes qui sua quærébant, qui ad núndinas vénerant. Et quæ ibi vendébant illi? Quæ opus habébant hómines in sacrifíciis illíus témporis. Novit enim cáritas vestra, quod sacrifícia illi pópulo pro ejus carnalitáte, et corde adhuc lapídeo, tália data sunt, quibus tenerétur, ne in idóla deflúeret: et immolábant ibi sacrifícia, boves, oves, et colúmbas. Nostis, quia legístis. ¶ Non ergo magnum peccátum, si hoc vendébant in templo, quod emebátur ut offerrétur in templo: et tamen ejécit inde illos. Quid si ibi ebriósos inveníret, quid fáceret Dóminus, si vendéntes ea quæ lícita sunt, et contra justítiam non sunt (quæ enim honéste emúntur, non illícite vendúntur) éxpulit tamen, et non est passus domum oratiónis fíeri domum negotiatiónis? ¶ Si negotiatiónis domus non debet fíeri domus Dei, potatiónis debet fíeri? Nos autem quando ista dícimus, strident déntibus suis advérsus nos: et consolátur nos Psalmus, quem audístis: Stridérunt in me déntibus suis. Nóvimus et nos audíre unde curémur: etsi ingeminántur flagélla Christo, quia flagellátur sermo ipsíus. Congregáta sunt, inquit, in me flagélla, et nesciébant. Flagellátus est flagéllis Judæórum: flagellátur blasphémiis falsórum Christianórum: multíplicant flagélla Dómino Deo suo, et nésciunt. Faciámus nos, quantum ipse ádjuvat. Ego autem, cum mihi molésti essent, induébam me cilício, et humiliábam in jejúnio ánimam meam.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
What hear we now, my brethren? Behold, that temple was still but a figure, and the Lord drove out therefrom all them that sought their own, even them that were come to deal in merchandise. And what was it that they sold there? Only such things as were needful to men for the sacrifices that then were. For your love knoweth that, because of that people's carnal-mindedness and the stoniness of their heart, there were commanded unto them such sacrifices as these, thereby to hold them back from idolatry and there, according, they offered up oxen, and sheep, and doves. This ye have read, and know. ¶ It was no great sin, therefore, if they sold in the temple that which was bought to be offered in the temple and yet He drove them out. If, then, the Lord drove out of His temple them which sold such things as are lawful and right (for to buy and sell is lawful, if only it be done honestly,) and suffered not the house of prayer to be made an house of merchandise, what would He have done if He had found there men drunken? ¶ If the house of God must not be a house of merchandise, must it be an house to drink in? And yet, when we say this, men gnash upon us with their teeth. But we find consolation in remembering that so far we are even as the Psalmist, who saith: They gnashed upon me with their teeth. (Ps. xxxiv. 16.) Yea, we have also learnt to listen to words that heal us, though, of a verity, the lashes that are made at His word are really made at Christ. Lashes, saith He, were heaped upon Me; and they knew not what they did. He was lashed by the scourges of the Jews, and He is lashed still by the blasphemies of false Christians; they heap lashes upon the Lord their God; and know not what they do. As for us, we will do that which He hath holpen us to do; But as for me, when they troubled me, my clothing was sackcloth, and I humbled my soul with fasting
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

We believe that Thou shalt come * to be our Judge:

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