I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

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.

Fructum salutíferum.
The Lord brought forth His fruit in the season of His death,
Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Fructum salutíferum gustándum dedit Dóminus mortis suæ témpore.
The Lord brought forth His fruit in the season of His death, even that fruit whereof if any man eat, he shall live for ever.
A fructu fruménti.
His faithful ones which are increased by the fruit of His corn and His wine.
Psalmus 4.
Cum invocárem exaudívit me Deus justítiæ meæ: * in tribulatióne dilatásti mihi.
2 Miserére mei, * et exaúdi oratiónem meam.
3 Fílii hóminum úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem, et quǽritis mendácium?
4 Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exaúdiet me cum clamávero ad eum.
5 Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.
6 Sacrificáte sacrifícium justítiæ, † et speráte in Dómino. * Multi dicunt: Quis osténdit nobis bona?
7 Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo.
8 A fructu fruménti, vini, et ólei sui * multiplicáti sunt.
9 In pace in idípsum * dórmiam, et requiéscam;
10 Quóniam tu Dómine singuláriter in spe * constituísti me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: * when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.
2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, * they are multiplied.
9 In peace in the selfsame * I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 For thou, O Lord, singularly * hast settled me in hope.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
A fructu fruménti et vini multiplicáti fidéles in pace Christi requiéscunt.
His faithful ones which are increased by the fruit of His corn and His wine do lay them down in peace and sleep in Christ.

Psalmus 15.
Consérva me Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. * Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.
2 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.
3 Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.
4 Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.
5 Dóminus pars hæreditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hæreditátem meam mihi.
6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim hæréditas mea præclára est mihi.
7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
11 Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: * at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Communióne cálicis, quo Deus ipse súmitur, non vitulórum sánguine, congregávit nos Dóminus.

De libro primo Regum.
Lesson from the first book of Samuel
I. Reg. 3.
Puer autem Sámuel ministrábat Dómino coram Heli, et sermo Dómini erat pretiósus in diébus illis, non erat vísio manifésta. Factum est ergo in die quadam, Heli jacébat in loco suo, et óculi ejus caligáverant, nec póterat vidére: lucérna Dei ántequam exstinguerétur, Sámuel dormiébat in templo Dómini, ubi erat arca Dei. Et vocávit Dóminus Sámuel. Qui respóndens, ait: Ecce ego. Et cucúrrit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: vocásti enim me. Qui dixit: Non vocávi: revértere, et dormi. Et ábiit, et dormívit. Et adjécit Dóminus rursum vocáre Samuélem. Consurgénsque Sámuel, ábiit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: quia vocásti me. Qui respóndit: Non vocávi te, fili mi: revértere, et dormi. Porro Sámuel necdum sciébat Dóminum, neque revelátus fúerat ei sermo Dómini.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision. And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I. And he ran to Heli and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept. And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium I.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Unigénitus Dei Fílius * nos benedícere et adjuváre dignétur.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the Son, the Sole-begotten, * mercifully bless and keep us.
Amen.
Et adjécit Dóminus, et vocávit adhuc Samuélem tértio. Qui consúrgens ábiit ad Heli, et ait: Ecce ego: quia vocásti me. Intelléxit ergo Heli quia Dóminus vocáret púerum: et ait ad Samuélem: Vade, et dormi: et si deínceps vocáverit te, dices: Lóquere Dómine, quia audit servus tuus. Abiit ergo Sámuel, et dormívit in loco suo. Et venit Dóminus, et stetit: et vocávit, sicut vocáverat secúndo, Sámuel, Sámuel. Et ait Sámuel: Lóquere Dómine, quia audit servus tuus. Et dixit Dóminus ad Samuélem: Ecce ego fácio verbum in Israël: quod quicúmque audíerit, tínnient ambæ aures ejus. In die illa suscitábo advérsum Heli ómnia, quæ locútus sum super domum ejus: incípiam, et complébo.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli. And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and slept in his place. And the Lord came and stood: and he called, as he had called the other times: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle. In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.

Amen.
Dormívit autem Sámuel usque mane, aperuítque óstia domus Dómini. Et Sámuel timébat indicáre visiónem Heli. Vocávit ergo Heli Samuélem, et dixit: Sámuel fili mi? Qui respóndens, ait: Præsto sum. Et interrogávit eum: Quis est sermo, quem locútus est Dóminus ad te? oro te ne celáveris me. Hæc fáciat tibi Deus, et hæc addat, si abscónderis a me sermónem ex ómnibus verbis, quæ dicta sunt tibi. Indicávit ítaque ei Sámuel univérsos sermónes, et non abscóndit ab eo. Et ille respóndit: Dóminus est: quod bonum est in óculis suis fáciat. Crevit autem Sámuel, et Dóminus erat cum eo, et non cécidit ex ómnibus verbis ejus in terram. Et cognóvit univérsus Israël, a Dan usque Bersabée, quod fidélis Sámuel prophéta esset Dómini.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli. Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I. And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee. So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight. And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium III.

3 Memor sit omnis sacrifícii tui: * et holocaústum tuum pingue fiat.
4 Tríbuat tibi secúndum cor tuum: * et omne consílium tuum confírmet.
5 Lætábimur in salutári tuo: * et in nómine Dei nostri magnificábimur.
6 Impleat Dóminus omnes petitiónes tuas: * nunc cognóvi quóniam salvum fecit Dóminus Christum suum.
7 Exaúdiet illum de cœlo sancto suo: * in potentátibus salus déxteræ ejus.
8 Hi in cúrribus, et hi in equis: * nos autem in nómine Dómini Dei nostri invocábimus.

4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; * and confirm all thy counsels.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; * and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: * now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed.
7 He will hear him from his holy heaven: * the salvation of his right hand is in powers.
8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: * but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
9 They are bound, and have fallen; * but we are risen, and are set upright.
10 O Lord, save the king: * and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
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.

Dóminus regit me, et nihil mihi déerit: * in loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit.
2 Super aquam refectiónis educávit me: * ánimam meam convértit.
3 Dedúxit me super sémitas justítiæ, * propter nomen suum.
4 Nam, et si ambulávero in médio umbræ mortis, non timébo mala: * quóniam tu mecum es.
5 Virga tua, et báculus tuus: * ipsa me consoláta sunt.
6 Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam, * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me.
7 Impinguásti in óleo caput meum: * et calix meus inébrians quam præclárus est!
8 Et misericórdia tua subsequétur me * ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
9 Et ut inhábitem in domo Dómini, * in longitúdinem diérum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. * He hath set me in a place of pasture.
2 He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: * He hath converted my soul.
3 He hath led me on the paths of justice, * for his own name's sake.
4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, * for thou art with me.
5 Thy rod and thy staff, * they have comforted me.
6 Thou hast prepared a table before me * against them that afflict me.
7 Thou hast anointed my head with oil; * and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
8 And thy mercy will follow me * all the days of my life.
9 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord * unto length of days.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te Deus.
2 Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
3 Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte: * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: Ubi est Deus tuus?

13 Quare oblítus es mei? * et quare contristátus incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
14 Dum confringúntur ossa mea, * exprobravérunt mihi qui tríbulant me inimíci mei.
15 Dum dicunt mihi per síngulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus? * quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me?

As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
7 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
8 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
9 Deep calleth on deep, * at the noise of thy flood-gates.
10 All thy heights and thy billows * have passed over me.
11 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
12 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
13 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
14 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
15 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
16 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Tamquam leónes ígitur ignem spirántes ab illa mensa recedámus, facti diábolo terríbiles, et caput nostrum mente revolvéntes, et caritátem quam erga nos osténdit. Nam paréntes quidem áliis sæpe fílios tradunt aléndos: ego autem, inquit, non ita, sed cárnibus meis alo, et meípsum vobis appóno, vos omnes generósos esse volens, et spem bonam de futúris vobis præbens: quippe qui vobis hic meípsum trádidi, multo magis id in futúro fáciam. Vólui frater vester fíeri, carni propter vos et sánguini communicávi: vobis vicíssim ipsam carnem et sánguinem, per quæ cognátus vester factus sum, trado.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
When we come back from that Table we ought to be like so many lions breathing fire, dreadful to the devil. Our thoughts ought to be concentrated on our Great Head and the love which He showeth us. Many fathers and mothers there are who give their children to others to nurse, but I, saith the Lord to His children, I am not so, but I feed you with Mine Own Flesh, and join Myself to you, fain that ye all should be sons of noble blood now, and giving you a noble hope of that which ye shall be hereafter. I was content to become your Brother, I for your sakes have taken unto Me Flesh, and Blood, and that Flesh and Blood wherein I am become your Brother, the Same give I in turn unto you.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Attendámus ítaque nobis ipsis, dilectíssimi, tálibus fruéntes bonis: et cum áliquid turpe dícere voluérimus, vel nos ab ira córripi vidérimus, vel álio quópiam hujúsmodi vítio, considerémus quibus facti sumus digni: talísque cogitátio nobis irrationabílium mótuum sit corréctio. Quotquot ígitur hujus partícipes córporis effícimur, quotquot sánguinem degustámus; cogitémus, quod illum sursum sedéntem, qui ab Angelis adorátur incorruptíbili vicínus virtúti, hunc degustámus. Hei mihi, quot ad salútem nobis viæ! Nos corpus suum effécit: nobis suum communicávit corpus: et horum nos nihil a malis avértit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Let us then, dearly beloved brethren, take good heed to ourselves, as unto the holders of so great mercies, and when any foul word springeth to our lips, or we feel anger taking possession of us, or the sting of any other sinful passion, let us call to mind of What we have been counted worthy, and let that remembrance still the unruly motion. As often as we take that Body, as often as we taste that Blood, let us think how that we feed on Him Who is sitting on high, adored of Angels, at the right hand of the Eternal Power. Ah me, how many a way is open to us whereby we may be saved He hath made us His He hath given His Body to us and we still are not turned away from evil
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 42.
Júdica me Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta, * ab hómine iníquo, et dolóso érue me.
2 Quia tu es Deus fortitúdo mea: * Quare me repulísti? et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
3 Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam: * ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernácula tua.
4 Et introíbo ad altáre Dei: * ad Deum, qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
5 Confitébor tibi in cíthara Deus meus: * quare tristis es ánima mea? et quare contúrbas me?
6 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: * deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2 For thou art God my strength: * why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3 Send forth thy light and thy truth: * they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4 And I will go in to the altar of God: * to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5 To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: * why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Introíbo ad altáre Dei: sumam Christum, qui rénovat juventútem meam.
I will go unto the Altar of God I will feed on Christ, Which is the Renewer of my youth.
Cibávit nos Dóminus.
The Lord hath fed us.
Psalmus 80.
Exsultáte Deo adjutóri nostro: * jubiláte Deo Jacob.
2 Súmite psalmum, et date týmpanum: * psaltérium jucúndum cum cíthara.
3 Buccináte in Neoménia tuba, * in insígni die solemnitátis vestræ.
4 Quia præcéptum in Israël est: * et judícium Deo Jacob.
5 Testimónium in Joseph pósuit illud, cum exíret de terra Ægýpti: * linguam, quam non nóverat, audívit.
6 Divértit ab onéribus dorsum ejus: * manus ejus in cóphino serviérunt.
7 In tribulatióne invocásti me, et liberávi te: * exaudívi te in abscóndito tempestátis: probávi te apud aquam contradictiónis.
8 Audi pópulus meus, et contestábor te: * Israël si audíeris me, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum.
9 Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti: * diláta os tuum, et implébo illud.
10 Et non audívit pópulus meus vocem meam: * et Israël non inténdit mihi.
11 Et dimísi eos secúndum desidéria cordis eórum, * ibunt in adinventiónibus suis.
12 Si pópulus meus audísset me: * Israël si in viis meis ambulásset:
13 Pro níhilo fórsitan inimícos eórum humiliássem: * et super tribulántes eos misíssem manum meam.
14 Inimíci Dómini mentíti sunt ei: * et erit tempus eórum in sǽcula.
15 Et cibávit eos ex ádipe fruménti: * et de petra, melle saturávit eos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Rejoice to God our helper: * sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 Take up a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity.
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.
6 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me, there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
9 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
10 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.
11 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.
12 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:
13 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
14 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.
15 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, * and filled them with honey out of the rock.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Cibávit nos Dóminus ex ádipe fruménti: et de petra, melle saturávit nos.
The Lord hath fed us with the finest of the wheat, and with honey out of the Rock hath He satisfied us.
Ex altári tuo.

Psalmus 83.
Quam dilécta tabernácula tua Dómine virtútum: * concupíscit, et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini.
2 Cor meum, et caro mea * exsultavérunt in Deum vivum.
3 Etenim passer invénit sibi domum: * et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos.
4 Altária tua Dómine virtútum: * Rex meus, et Deus meus.
5 Beáti, qui hábitant in domo tua Dómine: * in sǽcula sæculórum laudábunt te.
6 Beátus vir, cujus est auxílium abs te: * ascensiónes in corde suo dispósuit, in valle lacrimárum in loco quem pósuit.
7 Etenim benedictiónem dabit legislátor, ibunt de virtúte in virtútem: * vidébitur Deus deórum in Sion.
8 Dómine Deus virtútum exaúdi oratiónem meam: * aúribus pércipe Deus Jacob.
9 Protéctor noster áspice Deus: * et réspice in fáciem Christi tui:
10 Quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis, * super míllia.
11 Elégi abjéctus esse in domo Dei mei: * magis quam habitáre in tabernáculis peccatórum.
12 Quia misericórdiam, et veritátem díligit Deus: * grátiam et glóriam dabit Dóminus.
13 Non privábit bonis eos, qui ámbulant in innocéntia: * Dómine virtútum, beátus homo, qui sperat in te.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! * My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord.
2 My heart and my flesh * have rejoiced in the living God.
3 For the sparrow hath found herself a house, * and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones:
4 Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, * my king and my God.
5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: * they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: * in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, in the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.
7 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: * the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: * give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Behold, O God our protector: * and look on the face of thy Christ.
10 For better is one day in thy courts * above thousands.
11 I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, * rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12 For God loveth mercy and truth: * the Lord will give grace and glory.
13 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: * O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
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.

Joann. 6. f.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum: Caro mea, vere est cibus: et sanguis meus, vere est potus. Et réliqua.
At that time, Jesus said unto the multitudes of the Jews: My Flesh is meat indeed and My Blood is drink indeed. And so on.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
Tract. 27. in Joann. ante medium.
Díximus, fratres, hoc Dóminum commendásse in manducatióne carnis suæ, et potatióne sánguinis sui, ut in illo maneámus, et ipse in nobis. Manémus autem in illo, cum sumus membra ejus: manet autem ipse in nobis, cum sumus templum ejus. Ut autem simus membra ejus, únitas nos compáginat: ut compáginet únitas, quæ facit, nisi cáritas? Et cáritas Dei unde? Apóstolum intérroga. Cáritas, inquit, Dei diffúsa est in córdibus nostris per Spíritum sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
I have said, my brethren, that what the Lord hath set before us, in eating of His Flesh and drinking of His Blood, is that we should dwell in Him, and He in us. We dwell in Him when we are His members, and He dwelleth in us when we are His temple. But the bond whereby we are made His members is oneness and what is the cause of oneness but love And love of God, whence is it? Ask the Apostle. "The love of God," saith he, "is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, Which is given unto us." (Rom. v. 5.)
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the divine assistance * remain always with us.
Amen.
Ergo spíritus est qui vivíficat: spíritus enim facit viva membra: nec viva membra spíritus facit, nisi quæ in córpore, quod végetat ipse spíritus, invénerit. Nam spíritus, qui est in te, o homo, quo constas ut homo sis, numquid vivíficat membrum quod separátum invénerit a carne tua? Spíritum tuum dico ánimam tuam. Anima tua non vivíficat, nisi membra quæ sunt in carne tua: unum si tollas, jam non vivificátur ex ánima tua, quia unitáti córporis tui non copulátur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
So "it is the spirit that quickeneth." It is the spirit that maketh lively the limbs, nor is the quickening power of the spirit shed through any limbs but such as remain in union with the body whose the spirit is. The spirit that thou hast in thee, O man, and whereby thou art a man, doth that spirit shed life through any limb cut off from thy flesh By "spirit," I mean soul. The soul quickeneth no limb but such as remain attached to the body. Cut one off, and the soul quickeneth it no more, for it is separate from the oneness of thy body.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Ad societátem cívium supernórum * perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May He that is the Angels’ King * to that high realm His people bring.
Amen.
Hæc dicúntur, ut amémus unitátem, et timeámus separatiónem. Nihil enim sic debet formidáre Christiánus, quam separári a córpore Christi. Si enim separátur a córpore Christi, non est membrum ejus: si non est membrum ejus, non vegetátur spíritu ejus. Quisquis autem, inquit Apóstolus, Spíritum Christi non habet: hic non est ejus. Spíritus ergo est, qui vivíficat, caro autem non prodest quidquam. Verba, quæ ego locútus sum vobis, spíritus et vita sunt. Quid est, Spíritus et vita sunt? Spiritáliter intelligénda sunt. Intellexísti spiritáliter? Spíritus et vita sunt. Intellexísti carnáliter? Etiam sic illa spíritus et vita sunt, sed tibi non sunt.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
These things I say, that we may love oneness and dread division. In sooth, there is nothing which a Christian ought so much to dread, as to be cut off from the Body of Christ. If he be cut off from the Body of Christ, he is no longer a member of Christ, and the Spirit of Christ no longer quickeneth him. "Now, if any man," saith the Apostle, "have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." (Rom. viii. 9.) "It is the Spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." "Spirit and life", what meaneth this? It is to be taken spiritually. Hast thou taken it spiritually? Then the words the Lord spake, unto thee they are spirit and they are life. Hast thou taken it carnally? Then the words of the Lord are still indeed spirit and life but not for thee.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father:
We believe that Thou shalt come * to be our Judge:
We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants, * whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints * in glory everlasting.
