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.

Psalmus 8.

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 18.

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

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

Psalmus 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 Epístola prima beáti Petri Apóstoli.

Lesson from the first letter of St. Peter the Apostle

I. Petr. 4.

Christo ígitur passo in carne, et vos eádem cogitatióne armámini: quia qui passus est in carne, désiit a peccátis: ut jam non desidériis hóminum, sed voluntáti Dei, quod réliquum est in carne vivat témporis. Súfficit enim prætéritum tempus ad voluntátem Géntium consummándam his, qui ambulavérunt in luxúriis, desidériis, vinoléntiis, comessatiónibus, potatiónibus, et illícitis idolórum cúltibus. In quo admirántur non concurréntibus vobis in eámdem luxúriæ confusiónem, blasphemántes. Qui reddent ratiónem ei, qui parátus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Propter hoc enim et mórtuis evangelizátum est: ut judicéntur quidem secúndum hómines in carne, vivant autem secúndum Deum in Spíritu. Omnium autem finis appropinquávit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins: That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God. For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and unlawful worshipping of idols. Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you. Who shall render account to him, who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit. But the end of all is at hand.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Estóte ítaque prudéntes, et vigiláte in oratiónibus. Ante ómnia autem, mútuam in vobismetípsis caritátem contínuam habéntes: quia cáritas óperit multitúdinem peccatórum. Hospitáles ínvicem sine murmuratióne: Unusquísque, sicut accépit grátiam, in altérutrum illam administrántes, sicut boni dispensatóres multifórmis grátiæ Dei. Si quis lóquitur, quasi sermónes Dei: si quis minístrat, tamquam ex virtúte, quam adminístrat Deus: ut in ómnibus honorificétur Deus per Jesum Christum: cui est glória, et impérium in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers. But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins. Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring, As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

Caríssimi, nolíte peregrinári in fervóre, qui ad tentatiónem vobis fit, quasi novi áliquid vobis contíngat: sed communicántes Christi passiónibus gaudéte, ut et in revelatióne glóriæ ejus gaudeátis exsultántes. Si exprobrámini in nómine Christi, beáti éritis: quóniam quod est honóris, glóriæ, et virtútis Dei, et qui est ejus Spíritus, super vos requiéscit. Nemo autem vestrum patiátur ut homicída, aut fur, aut malédicus, aut alienórum appetítor. Si autem ut Christiánus, non erubéscat: gloríficet autem Deum in isto nómine. Quóniam tempus est, ut incípiat judícium a domo Dei.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you; But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of other men's things. But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

Psalmus 45.

Deus noster refúgium, et virtus: * adjútor in tribulatiónibus quæ invenérunt nos nimis.
2 Proptérea non timébimus dum turbábitur terra: * et transferéntur montes in cor maris.
3 Sonuérunt, et turbátæ sunt aquæ eórum: * conturbáti sunt montes in fortitúdine ejus.
4 Flúminis ímpetus lætíficat civitátem Dei: * sanctificávit tabernáculum suum Altíssimus.
5 Deus in médio ejus, non commovébitur: * adjuvábit eam Deus mane dilúculo.
6 Conturbátæ sunt Gentes, et inclináta sunt regna: * dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7 Dóminus virtútum nobíscum: * suscéptor noster Deus Jacob.
8 Veníte, et vidéte ópera Dómini, quæ pósuit prodígia super terram: * aúferens bella usque ad finem terræ.

Our God is our refuge and strength: * a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; * and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 Their waters roared and were troubled: * the mountains were troubled with his strength.
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.
11 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
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.

Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised * in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, * on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3 In her houses shall God be known, * when he shall protect her.
4 For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: * they gathered together.
5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved: * Trembling took hold of them.
6 There were pains as of a woman in labour. * With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
7 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: * God hath founded it for ever.
8 We have received thy mercy, O God, * in the midst of thy temple.
9 According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: * thy right hand is full of justice.
10 Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; * because of thy judgments, O Lord.
11 Surround Sion, and encompass her: * tell ye in her towers.
12 Set your hearts on her strength; * and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
13 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: * he shall rule us for evermore.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Mónica, sancti Augustíni duplíciter mater, quia eum et mundo et cœlo péperit, maríto mórtuo, quem senectúte conféctum Jesu Christo conciliávit, castam et opéribus misericórdiæ exércitam viduitátem agébat: in assíduis vero ad Deum oratiónibus pro fílio, qui in Manichæórum sectam incíderat, lácrimas effundébat: quem étiam Mediolánum secúta est: ubi ipsum frequénter hortabátur, ut ad epíscopum Ambrósium se conférret. Quod cum ille fecísset, ejus et públicis conciónibus, et privátis collóquiis cathólicæ fídei veritátem edóctus, ab eódem baptizátus est.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Monica was twice over the mother of St. Augustine, for, under God, he owed to her both earth and heaven. When her husband was very old she made him a friend of Jesus Christ, and after his death she lived a widow in all purity and constantly occupied in works of mercy. Her son Augustine had fallen into the heresy of the Manichaeans, and for his conversion she earnestly pleaded with God for years, with strong crying and tears. She followed Augustine to Milan, and tenderly and constantly besought him to confer with Ambrose the Bishop. This he consented to do, and at last, through the public sermons and private conversations of Ambrose, his eyes were opened to see the truth of the Catholic Religion, and he received baptism at the Bishop's hands, (at the Passover of the year 387.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Mox in Africam redeúntes, cum ad Ostia Tiberína constitíssent, íncidit in febrem. Quo in morbo cum eam quodam die ánima defecísset, ut se collégit, Ubi, inquit, eram? Et astántes íntuens, Pónite hic matrem vestram: tantum vos rogo, ut ad altáre Dómini meminéritis mei. Nono autem die beáta múlier ánimam Deo réddidit. Ejus corpus ibi in ecclésia sanctæ Aureæ sepúltum est: quod póstea Martíno quinto Summo Pontífice Romam translátum, in ecclésia sancti Augustíni honorífice cónditum est.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

The mother and son set out to return to their home in Africa, but after they had reached Ostia at the mouth of the Tiber, she was stricken down by a fever. One day as she lay sick, she came to herself after her mind had been long wandering, and said: "Where am I?" Then she saw who were standing by, and said "Let your mother lie here only, remember me at the altar of the Lord." On the ninth day this blessed lady surrendered her spirit to God. Her body was buried there at Ostia in the Church of St. Aurea, but, long after, in the papacy of Martin V, it was carried to Rome and honourably buried again in the Church of St. Augustine.

Ex libro 9. Conf. cap. 12.

Subdit vero Augustínus de matris morte dísserens: Neque enim decére arbitrabámur funus illud quéstubus lacrimósis, gemitibúsque celebráre, quia illa nec mísere, nec omníno moriebátur: hoc et documéntis morum ejus, et fide non ficta, rationibúsque certis tenebámus. Atque inde paulátim reducébam in prístinum sensum ancíllam tuam, conversationémque ejus piam in te et sanctam, in nos blandam atque morígeram, qua súbito destitútus sum, et líbuit flere de illa et pro illa; et si quis peccátum invénerit flevísse me matrem meam exígua parte horæ, matrem óculis meis mórtuam quæ me multos annos fléverat, ut óculis suis víverem, non irrídeat: sed pótius, si est grandi caritáte, pro peccátis meis fleat ipse ad te Patrem ómnium fratrum Christi tui.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Augustine added these words after describing his mother's death: "We did not think that hers was a death which it was seemly to mark with repining, or tears, or lamentations, seeing that she died not sorrowfully, nor at all as touching her best and noblest part. This we knew, because we knew what her life had been, her faith unfeigned, her sure and certain hope. And then, nevertheless, I remembered again what thine handmaid was used to be, her walk with thee, how godly and holy it was, and with us so gentle and long-suffering and that it was all, gone away from me now. And I wept, over her and for her. And if any man will make it blame to me that I wept for a little while, when I saw lying dead before my eyes my mother, who had wept over me so many years, that she might see me live, I say, if any man will make it blame to me, I pray him not to sneer at me, but rather ~(if his charity be so great) himself to weep over my sins before thee, Who art a Father to all them to whom thy Christ is a Brother."
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Serm. 44. de Verbis Domini, circa init.

De júvene illo resuscitáto gavísa est mater vídua: de homínibus in spíritu quotídie suscitátis gaudet mater Ecclésia. Ille quidem mórtuus erat córpore: illi autem mente. Illíus mors visíbilis visibíliter plangebátur: illórum mors invisíbilis nec quærebátur, nec videbátur. Quæsívit ille, qui nóverat mórtuos. Ille solus nóverat mórtuos, qui póterat fácere vivos. Nisi enim ad mórtuos suscitándos venísset, Apóstolus non díceret: Surge, qui dormis, et exsúrge a mórtuis, et illuminábit te Christus.

℟. Deo grátias.

That her son was called, again to life was the joy of that widowed mother that souls of men are every day called to life is the joy of our Mother the Church. He was dead in body they have been dead in mind. His death was outward, and was outwardly bewailed their inward death hath been neither mourned for nor seen. But He hath sought for them, Who hath seen that they are dead, and He only hath seen that they are dead, Who hath been able to make them alive. If He had not come to raise the dead, the Apostle had not said: "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." (Eph. v. 14.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Tres autem mórtuos invenímus a Dómino resuscitátos visibíliter, míllia invisibíliter. Quot autem mórtuos visibíliter suscitáverit, quis novit? Non enim ómnia, quæ fecit, scripta sunt. Joánnes hoc dixit: Multa ália fecit Jesus: quæ si scripta essent, árbitror totum mundum non posse libros cápere. Multi ergo sunt álii sine dúbio suscitáti, sed non tres frustra commemoráti. Dóminus enim noster Jesus Christus ea quæ faciébat corporáliter, étiam spiritáliter volébat intélligi. Neque enim tantum mirácula propter mirácula faciébat: sed ut illa, quæ faciébat, mira essent vidéntibus, vera essent intelligéntibus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

It is written how the Lord raised from the dead three persons visibly, but thousands invisibly. But how many they may have been whom He raised visibly, who knoweth? For all the things which He did are not written. John saith thus: "There are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." (xxi. 25.) There were then, doubtless, many more raised to life, but it is not meaningless that three are recorded. For our Lord Jesus Christ hath willed that those things which He did carnally, we should understand also spiritually. He worked not miracles only for the sake of working wonders, but that His works might be at once wonderful to them that beheld, and true to them that understand them.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Quemádmodum qui videt lítteras in códice óptime scripto, et non novit légere, laudat quidem antiquárii manum, admírans ápicum pulchritúdinem: sed quid sibi velint, quid índicent illi ápices, nescit, et est óculis laudátor, mente non cógnitor. Alius autem et laudat artifícium, et capit intelléctum: ille útique, qui non solum vidére quod commúne est ómnibus, potest, sed étiam légere; quod qui non dídicit, non potest. Ita qui vidérunt Christi mirácula, et non intellexérunt quid sibi vellent, et quid intelligéntibus quodámmodo innúerent, miráti sunt tantum quia facta sunt: álii vero et facta miráti, et intellécta assecúti. Tales nos in schola Christi esse debémus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Even as one that looketh upon a scroll right fairly written, and knoweth not how to read therein, praiseth the hand of the old scribe when he seeth the beauty of the points, but what it saith, what those points mean, he knoweth not, and praiseth by the eye, without understanding by the mind, and as, on the other hand, he that can not only gaze on it, as can all men, but also can read it, praiseth the penmanship, and catcheth the sense likewise, which the unlearned cannot do even so, there were some that saw the miracles which Christ did, and understood not what they meant, nor what they, as it were, hinted to such as did understand them, and these only marvelled to see them wrought. And other some there were which saw the works, and marvelled, and understood them, and profited by them. And it is as these last that we ought to be in the school of Christ.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

Dum mundi amórem nóxium
Horréscit, ad cœléstia
Iter perégit árduum.

Carnem domans jejúniis,
Dulcíque mentem pábulo
Oratiónis nútriens,
Cœli potítur gaúdiis.

Rex Christe virtus fórtium,
Qui magna solus éfficis,
Hujus precátu, quǽsumus,
Audi benígnus súpplices.

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

Amen.

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

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, * for He hath visited and redeemed His people.
2 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us, * in the house of His servant David:
3 As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began:
4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
5 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, * and to remember His holy covenant:
6 The oath which He sware to our father Abraham, * that He would grant unto us,
7 That we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, * might serve Him without fear,
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people, * by the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Deus mœréntium consolátor, et in te sperántium salus, qui beátæ Mónicæ pias lácrimas in conversióne fílii sui Augustíni misericórditer suscepísti: † da nobis utriúsque intervéntu peccáta nostra deploráre, * et grátiæ tuæ indulgéntiam inveníre.
Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum: † Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus sancti Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.

O God, the consoler of those Who mourn and the safety of those who put their trust in thee; Who mercifully accepted the holy tears of blessed Monica for the conversion of Augustine, her son; grant us through the intercession of both to bewail our sins and to obtain the grace of thy forgiveness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.

5 Exsúltent et læténtur in te omnes qui quærunt te, * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.
6 Ego vero egénus, et pauper sum: * Deus ádjuva me.
7 Adjútor meus, et liberátor meus es tu: * Dómine ne moréris.

Deus, cui próprium est miseréri semper et párcere: súscipe deprecatiónem nostram; ut nos, et omnes fámulos tuos, quos delictóru caténa constríngit, miserátio tuæ pietátis cleménter absólvat.
Exaúdi, quǽsumus Dómine, súpplicum preces, et confiténtium tibi parce peccátis: ut páriter nobis indulgéntiam tríbuas benígnus et pacem.
Ineffábilem nobis Dómine misericórdiam tuam cleménter osténde: ut simul nos et a peccátis ómnibus éxuas, et a pœnis, quas pro his merémur, erípias.
Deus, qui culpa offénderis, pœniténtia placáris: preces pópuli tui supplicántis propítius réspice; et flagélla tuæ iracúndiæ, quæ pro peccátis nostris merémur, avérte.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, miserére fámulo tuo Pontífici nostro N., et dírige eum secúndum tuam cleméntiam in viam salútis ætérnæ: ut, te donánte, tibi plácita cúpiat, et tota virtúte perfíciat.
Deus, a quo sancta desidéria, recta consília, et justa sunt ópera: da servis tuis illam, quam mundus dare non potest, pacem; ut et corda nostra mandátis tuis dédita, et hóstium subláta formídine, témpora sint tua protectióne tranquílla.
Ure igne sancti Spíritus renes nostros et cor nostrum Dómine: ut tibi casto córpore serviámus, et mundo corde placeámus.
Fidélium, Deus, ómnium Cónditor et Redémptor, animábus famulórum famularúmque tuárum remissiónem cunctórum tríbue peccatórum: ut indúlgeam, quam semper optavérunt, piis supplicatiónibus consequántur.
Actiónes nostras, quǽsumus Dómine, aspirándo prǽveni, et adjuvándo proséquere: ut cuncta nostra orátio et operátio a te semper incípiat, et per te cœpta finiátur.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui vivórum domináris simul et mortuórum, omniúmque miseréris quos tuos fide et ópere futúros esse prænóscis: te súpplices exorámus; ut pro quibus effúndere preces decrévimus, quosque vel præsens sǽculum adhuc in carne rétinet, vel futúrum jam exútos córpore suscépit, intercedéntibus ómnibus Sanctis tuis, pietátis tuæ cleméntia ómnium delictórum suórum véniam consequántur.
