In Transfiguratione D.N.J.C.

Duplex Majus.

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.

Ad Matutinum.

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.

Summum Regem glóriæ, * Christum adorémus.

Summum Regem glóriæ, * Christum adorémus.

Psalmus 94.

Veníte, exsultémus Dómino, jubilémus Deo salutári nostro: præoccupémus fáciem ejus in confessióne, et in psalmis jubilémus ei.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord, let us make a joyful noise to the God of our Salvation: let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.

Summum Regem glóriæ, * Christum adorémus.

Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit.

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: for the Lord will not cast off His people: for in His hand are all the ends of the earth; and the heights of the hills are His also.

Christum adorémus.

Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus ejus: (Flexis genibus) veníte adorémus, et procidámus ante Deum: plorémus coram Dómino, qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dóminus Deus noster: nos autem pópulus ejus, et oves páscuæ ejus.

For the sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land: O come, let us worship and fall down; let us cry unto the Lord our Maker. For He is the Lord our God; and we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Summum Regem glóriæ, * Christum adorémus.

Hódie si vocem ejus audiéritis, nolíte obduráre corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatióne secúndum diem tentatiónis in desérto: ubi tentavérunt me patres vestri, probavérunt et vidérunt ópera mea.

To-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart; as in in the Provocation, and as in the day of Temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works.

Christum adorémus.

Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi, Semper hi errant corde: ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas, quibus jurávi in ira mea, si introíbunt in réquiem meam.

Forty years long was I grieved with that generation and said, It is a people that do alway err in their heart, and they have not known My ways: unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.

Summum Regem glóriæ, * Christum adorémus.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Christum adorémus.

Summum Regem glóriæ, * Christum adorémus.

Hymnus.

Quicúmque Christum quǽritis,
Oculos in altum tóllite:
Illic licébit vísere
Signum perénnis glóriæ.




Illústre quiddam cérnimus,
Quod nésciat finem pati,
Sublíme, celsum, intérminum,
Antíquius cœlo et chao.

Hic ille Rex est Géntium,
Populíque Rex judáici,
Promíssus Abrahæ patri,
Ejúsque in ævum sémini.

Hunc et prophétis téstibus,
Iisdémque signatóribus
Testátor et Pater jubet
Audíre nos et crédere.

Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui te revélas párvulis,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.

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.

2 Afférte Dómino glóriam et honórem, afférte Dómino glóriam nómini ejus: * adoráte Dóminum in átrio sancto ejus.
3 Vox Dómini super aquas, Deus majestátis intónuit: * Dóminus super aquas multas.
4 Vox Dómini in virtúte: * vox Dómini in magnificéntia.
5 Vox Dómini confringéntis cedros: * et confrínget Dóminus cedros Líbani:
6 Et commínuet eas tamquam vítulum Líbani: * et diléctus quemádmodum fílius unicórnium.
7 Vox Dómini intercidéntis flammam ignis: * vox Dómini concutiéntis desértum: et commovébit Dóminus desértum Cades.

Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: * bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
2 Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: * adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, * The Lord is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is in power; * the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: * yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
6 And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, * and as the beloved son of unicorns.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire: * The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
8 The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: * and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
9 The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: * and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
10 The Lord will give strength to his people: * the Lord will bless his people with 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.

7 Sagíttæ tuæ acútæ, pópuli sub te cadent, * in corda inimicórum regis.
8 Sedes tua Deus in sǽculum sǽculi: * virga directiónis virga regni tui.
9 Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem: * proptérea unxit te Deus Deus tuus óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.
10 Myrrha, et gutta, et cásia a vestiméntis tuis, a dómibus ebúrneis: * ex quibus delectavérunt te fíliæ regum in honóre tuo.
11 Astitit regína a dextris tuis in vestítu deauráto: * circúmdata varietáte.
12 Audi fília, et vide, et inclína aurem tuam: * et oblivíscere pópulum tuum, et domum patris tui.
13 Et concupíscet Rex decórem tuum: * quóniam ipse est Dóminus Deus tuus, et adorábunt eum.
14 Et fíliæ Tyri in munéribus * vultum tuum deprecabúntur: omnes dívites plebis.
15 Omnis glória ejus fíliæ Regis ab intus, * in fímbriis aúreis circumamícta varietátibus.
16 Adducéntur Regi vírgines post eam: * próximæ ejus afferéntur tibi.

My heart hath uttered a good word: * I speak my works to the king;
2 My tongue is the pen of a scrivener * that writeth swiftly.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; * therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.
5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, * proceed prosperously, and reign.
6 Because of truth and meekness and justice: * and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
7 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, * into the hearts of the king's enemies.
8 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
11 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.
12 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father's house.
13 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
14 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, * yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
15 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders, * Clothed round about with varieties.
16 After her shall virgins be brought to the king: * her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
17 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: * they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
18 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: * thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
19 They shall remember thy name * throughout all generations.
20 Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; * yea, for ever and ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Nocturnus II.

Illúminans * tu mirabíliter a móntibus ætérnis: turbáti sunt omnes insipiéntes corde.

Psalmus 75.

Notus in Judǽa Deus: * in Israël magnum nomen ejus.
2 Et factus est in pace locus ejus: * et habitátio ejus in Sion.
3 Ibi confrégit poténtias árcuum, * scutum, gládium, et bellum.
4 Illúminans tu mirabíliter a móntibus ætérnis: * turbáti sunt omnes insipiéntes corde.
5 Dormiérunt somnum suum: * et nihil invenérunt omnes viri divitiárum in mánibus suis.
6 Ab increpatióne tua Deus Jacob * dormitavérunt qui ascendérunt equos.
7 Tu terríbilis es, et quis resístet tibi? * ex tunc ira tua.
8 De cœlo audítum fecísti judícium: * terra trémuit et quiévit.
9 Cum exsúrgeret in judícium Deus, * ut salvos fáceret omnes mansuétos terræ.
10 Quóniam cogitátio hóminis confitébitur tibi: * et relíquiæ cogitatiónis diem festum agent tibi.
11 Vovéte, et réddite Dómino Deo vestro: * omnes qui in circúitu ejus affértis múnera.
12 Terríbili et ei qui aufert spíritum príncipum, * terríbili apud reges terræ.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

In Judea God is known: * his name is great in Israel.
2 And his place is in peace: * and his abode in Sion:
3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, * the shield, the sword, and the battle.
4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills. * All the foolish of heart were troubled.
5 They have slept their sleep; * and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, * they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? * from that time thy wrath.
8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: * the earth trembled and was still,
9 When God arose in judgment, * to save all the meek of the earth.
10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: * and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: * all you that are round about him bring presents.
12 To him that is terrible, even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: * to the terrible with the kings of 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.

Illúminans tu mirabíliter a móntibus ætérnis: turbáti sunt omnes insipiéntes corde.

Mélior est * dies una in átriis tuis super míllia.

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.

Mélior est dies una in átriis tuis super míllia.

Gloriósa * dicta sunt de te cívitas Dei.

Psalmus 86.

Fundaménta ejus in móntibus sanctis: * díligit Dóminus portas Sion super ómnia tabernácula Jacob.
2 Gloriósa dicta sunt de te, * cívitas Dei.
3 Memor ero Rahab, et Babylónis * sciéntium me.
4 Ecce alienígenæ, et Tyrus, et pópulus Æthíopum, * hi fuérunt illic.
5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: * et ipse fundávit eam Altíssimus?
6 Dóminus narrábit in scriptúris populórum, et príncipum: * horum, qui fuérunt in ea.
7 Sicut lætántium ómnium * habitátio est in te.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains: * The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.
3 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.
4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her: * and the Highest himself hath founded her?
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.
7 The dwelling in thee * is as it were of all rejoicing.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Sermo sancti Leónis Papæ.

Serm. de Transfigurat., ante medium.

Aperit Dóminus coram eléctis téstibus glóriam suam, et commúnem illam cum céteris córporis formam tanto splendóre claríficat, ut et fácies ejus solis fulgóri símilis, et vestítus candóri nívium esset æquális. In qua transfiguratióne illud quidem principáliter agebátur, ut de córdibus discipulórum crucis scándalum tollerétur: nec conturbáret eórum fidem voluntáriæ humílitas passiónis, quibus reveláta esset abscónditæ excelléntia dignitátis. Sed non minóre providéntia spes sanctæ Ecclésiæ fundabátur, ut totum Christi corpus agnósceret, quali esset commutatióne donándum: ut ejus sibi honóris consórtium membra promítterent, qui in cápite præfulsísset.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.

Confirmándis vero Apóstolis, et ad omnem sciéntiam provehéndis, ália quoque in illo miráculo accéssit instrúctio. Móyses enim et Elías, lex scílicet et prophétæ, apparuérunt cum Dómino loquéntes: ut veríssime in illa quinque virórum præséntia complerétur quod dictum est: In duóbus, vel tribus téstibus stat omne verbum. Quid hoc stabílius, quid fírmius verbo, in cujus prædicatióne véteris et novi testaménti cóncinit tuba, et cum evangélica doctrína antiquárum protestatiónum instruménta concúrrunt? Adstipulántur enim sibi ínvicem utriúsque fœ́deris páginæ: et quem sub velámine mysteriórum præcedéntia signa promíserant, maniféstum atque perspícuum præséntis glóriæ splendor osténdit.

His ergo sacramentórum revelatiónibus Petrus Apóstolus incitátus, mundána spernens, et terréna fastídiens, in æternórum desidérium quodam mentis rapiebátur excéssu: et gaúdio totíus visiónis implétus, ibi cum Jesu optábat habitáre, ubi manifésta ejus glória lætabátur. Unde et ait: Dómine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciámus hic tria tabernácula, tibi unum, Móysi unum, et Elíæ unum. Sed huic suggestióni Dóminus non respóndit: signíficans, non quidem ímprobum, sed inordinátum esse quod cúperet, cum salvári mundus, nisi Christi morte, non posset: et exémplo Dómini in hoc vocarétur credéntium fides, ut licet non oportéret de beatitúdinis promissiónibus dubitári, intelligerémus tamen inter tentatiónes hujus vitæ prius nobis tolerántiam postulándam esse, quam glóriam.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.


But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Si ministrátio mortis, lítteris deformáta in lapídibus, fuit in glória, ita ut non possent inténdere fílii Israël in fáciem Móysi, propter glóriam vultus ejus, quæ evacuátur; * Multo magis ministrátio spíritus, quæ manet, erit in glória.
℣. Amplióris enim glóriæ Christus præ Móyse dignus est hábitus, quanto ampliórem honórem habet domo, qui fabricávit eam.

Nocturnus III.

Thabor et Hermon * in nómine tuo exsultábunt: tuum bráchium cum poténtia.

Psalmus 88.

Misericórdias Dómini * in ætérnum cantábo.
2 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábo veritátem tuam in ore meo.
3 Quóniam dixísti: In ætérnum misericórdia ædificábitur in cœlis: * præparábitur véritas tua in eis.
4 Dispósui testaméntum eléctis meis, jurávi David servo meo: * usque in ætérnum præparábo semen tuum.
5 Et ædificábo in generatiónem et generatiónem * sedem tuam.
6 Confitebúntur cœli mirabília tua Dómine: * étenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum.
7 Quóniam quis in núbibus æquábitur Dómino: * símilis erit Deo in fíliis Dei?
8 Deus, qui glorificátur in consílio sanctórum: * magnus et terríbilis super omnes qui in circúitu ejus sunt.
9 Dómine Deus virtútum quis símilis tibi? * potens es Dómine, et véritas tua in circúitu tuo.
10 Tu domináris potestáti maris: * motum autem flúctuum ejus tu mítigas.
11 Tu humiliásti sicut vulnerátum, supérbum: * in bráchio virtútis tuæ dispersísti inimícos tuos.
12 Tui sunt cœli, et tua est terra, orbem terræ et plenitúdinem ejus tu fundásti: * Aquilónem, et mare tu creásti.
13 Thabor et Hermon in nómine tuo exsultábunt: * tuum bráchium cum poténtia.
14 Firmétur manus tua, et exaltétur déxtera tua: * justítia et judícium præparátio sedis tuæ.
15 Misericórdia et véritas præcédent fáciem tuam: * beátus pópulus, qui scit jubilatiónem.
16 Dómine in lúmine vultus tui ambulábunt, et in nómine tuo exsultábunt tota die: * et in justítia tua exaltabúntur.
17 Quóniam glória virtútis eórum tu es: * et in beneplácito tuo exaltábitur cornu nostrum.
18 Quia Dómini est assúmptio nostra: * et sancti Israël regis nostri.
19 Tunc locútus es in visióne sanctis tuis, et dixísti: * Pósui adjutórium in poténte: et exaltávi eléctum de plebe mea.
20 Invéni David servum meum: * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.
21 Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei: * et bráchium meum confortábit eum.
22 Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non appónet nocére ei.
23 Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos ejus: * et odiéntes eum in fugam convértam.
24 Et véritas mea, et misericórdia mea cum ipso: * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu ejus.
25 Et ponam in mari manum ejus: * et in flumínibus déxteram ejus.
26 Ipse invocábit me: Pater meus es tu: * Deus meus, et suscéptor salútis meæ.
27 Et ego primogénitum ponam illum * excélsum præ régibus terræ.
28 In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam: * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.
29 Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen ejus: * et thronum ejus sicut dies cœli.
30 Si autem derelíquerint fílii ejus legem meam: * et in judíciis meis non ambuláverint:
31 Si justítias meas profanáverint: * et mandáta mea non custodíerint:
32 Visitábo in virga iniquitátes eórum: * et in verbéribus peccáta eórum.
33 Misericórdiam autem meam non dispérgam ab eo: * neque nocébo in veritáte mea:
34 Neque profanábo testaméntum meum: * et quæ procédunt de lábiis meis, non fáciam írrita.
35 Semel jurávi in sancto meo, si David méntiar: * semen ejus in ætérnum manébit.
36 Et thronus ejus sicut sol in conspéctu meo, * et sicut luna perfécta in ætérnum: et testis in cœlo fidélis.
37 Tu vero repulísti et despexísti: * distulísti christum tuum.
38 Evertísti testaméntum servi tui: * profanásti in terra Sanctuárium ejus.
39 Destruxísti omnes sepes ejus: * posuísti firmaméntum ejus formídinem.
40 Diripuérunt eum omnes transeúntes viam: * factus est oppróbrium vicínis suis.
41 Exaltásti déxteram depriméntium eum: * lætificásti omnes inimícos ejus.
42 Avertísti adjutórium gládii ejus: * et non es auxiliátus ei in bello.
43 Destruxísti eum ab emundatióne: * et sedem ejus in terram collisísti.
44 Minorásti dies témporis ejus: * perfudísti eum confusióne.
45 Usquequo Dómine avértis in finem: * exardéscet sicut ignis ira tua?
46 Memoráre quæ mea substántia: * numquid enim vane constituísti omnes fílios hóminum?
47 Quis est homo, qui vivet, et non vidébit mortem: * éruet ánimam suam de manu ínferi?
48 Ubi sunt misericórdiæ tuæ antíquæ Dómine, * sicut jurásti David in veritáte tua?
49 Memor esto Dómine oppróbrii servórum tuórum * (quod contínui in sinu meo) multárum Géntium.
50 Quod exprobravérunt inimíci tui Dómine, * quod exprobravérunt commutatiónem Christi tui.
51 Benedíctus Dóminus in ætérnum: * fiat, fiat.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

The mercies of the Lord * I will sing for ever.
2 To generation and generation, * I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth.
3 For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: * thy truth shall be prepared in them.
4 I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant: * Thy seed will I settle for ever.
5 And I will build up unto generation and generation * thy throne.
6 The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: * and thy truth in the church of the saints.
7 For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: * or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?
8 God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: * great and terrible above all them that are about him.
9 O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? * thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.
10 Thou rulest the power of the sea: * and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.
11 Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: * with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.
12 Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded: * The north and the sea thou hast created.
13 Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name: * Thy arm is with might.
14 Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted: * Justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne.
15 Mercy and truth shall go before thy face: * Blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation.
16 They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance: And in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, * and in thy justice they shall be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: * and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
18 For our protection is of the Lord, * and of our king the holy one of Israel.
19 Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.
20 I have found David my servant: * with my holy oil I have anointed him.
21 For my hand shall help him: * and my arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall have no advantage over him: * nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.
23 And I will cut down his enemies before his face; * and them that hate him I will put to flight.
24 And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: * and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 And I will set his hand in the sea; * and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: * my God, and the support of my salvation.
27 And I will make him my firstborn, * high above the kings of the earth.
28 I will keep my mercy for him for ever: * and my covenant faithful to him.
29 And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: * and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 And if his children forsake my law, * and walk not in my judgments:
31 If they profane my justices: * and keep not my commandments:
32 I will visit their iniquities with a rod: * and their sins with stripes.
33 But my mercy I will not take away from him: * nor will I suffer my truth to fail.
34 Neither will I profane my covenant: * and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: * His seed shall endure for ever.
36 And his throne as the sun before me: * and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.
37 But thou hast rejected and despised: * thou hast been angry with thy anointed.
38 Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: * thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.
39 Thou hast broken down all his hedges: * thou hast made his strength fear.
40 All that pass by the way have robbed him: * he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
41 Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: * thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
42 Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; * and hast not assisted him in battle.
43 Thou hast made his purification to cease: * and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.
44 Thou hast shortened the days of his time: * thou hast covered him with confusion.
45 How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? * shall thy anger burn like fire?
46 Remember what my substance is * for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?
47 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: * that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
48 Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, * according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
49 Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants * (which I have held in my bosom) of many nations:
50 Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; * wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.
51 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. * So be it. So be it.
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.

Thabor et Hermon in nómine tuo exsultábunt: tuum bráchium cum poténtia.

Lux orta est justo, * et rectis corde lætítia.

Psalmus 96.

Dóminus regnávit, exsúltet terra: * læténtur ínsulæ multæ.
2 Nubes, et calígo in circúitu ejus: * justítia, et judícium corréctio sedis ejus.
3 Ignis ante ipsum præcédet, * et inflammábit in circúitu inimícos ejus.
4 Illuxérunt fúlgura ejus orbi terræ: * vidit, et commóta est terra.
5 Montes, sicut cera fluxérunt a fácie Dómini: * a fácie Dómini omnis terra.
6 Annuntiavérunt cœli justítiam ejus: * et vidérunt omnes pópuli glóriam ejus.
7 Confundántur omnes, qui adórant sculptília: * et qui gloriántur in simulácris suis.
8 Adoráte eum omnes Angeli ejus: * audívit, et lætáta est Sion.
9 Et exsultavérunt fíliæ Judæ, * propter judícia tua Dómine:
10 Quóniam tu Dóminus Altíssimus super omnem terram: * nimis exaltátus es super omnes deos.
11 Qui dilígitis Dóminum, odíte malum: * custódit Dóminus ánimas sanctórum suórum, de manu peccatóris liberábit eos.
12 Lux orta est justo, * et rectis corde lætítia.
13 Lætámini justi in Dómino: * et confitémini memóriæ sanctificatiónis ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: * let many islands be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: * justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 A fire shall go before him, * and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: * the earth saw and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens declared his justice: * and all people saw his glory.
7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, * and that glory in their idols.
8 Adore him, all you his angels: * Sion heard, and was glad.
9 And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, * because of thy judgments, O Lord.
10 For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: * thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
11 You that love the Lord, hate evil: * the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
12 Light is risen to the just, * and joy to the right of heart.
13 Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: * and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
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.

Lux orta est justo, et rectis corde lætítia.

Confessiónem * et decórem índuit, amíctus lúmine sicut vestiménto.

Psalmus 103.

Bénedic ánima mea Dómino: * Dómine Deus meus magnificátus es veheménter.
2 Confessiónem, et decórem induísti: * amíctus lúmine sicut vestiménto:
3 Exténdens cœlum sicut pellem * qui tegis aquis superióra ejus.
4 Qui ponis nubem ascénsum tuum: * qui ámbulas super pennas ventórum.
5 Qui facis Angelos tuos, spíritus: * et minístros tuos ignem uréntem.
6 Qui fundásti terram super stabilitátem suam: * non inclinábitur in sǽculum sǽculi.
7 Abýssus, sicut vestiméntum amíctus ejus: * super montes stabunt aquæ.
8 Ab increpatióne tua fúgient: * a voce tonítrui tui formidábunt.
9 Ascéndunt montes: et descéndunt campi * in locum, quem fundásti eis.
10 Términum posuísti, quem non transgrediéntur: * neque converténtur operíre terram.
11 Qui emíttis fontes in convállibus: * inter médium móntium pertransíbunt aquæ.
12 Potábunt omnes béstiæ agri: * exspectábunt ónagri in siti sua.
13 Super ea vólucres cœli habitábunt: * de médio petrárum dabunt voces.
14 Rigans montes de superióribus suis: * de fructu óperum tuórum satiábitur terra:
15 Prodúcens fœnum juméntis, * et herbam servitúti hóminum:
16 Ut edúcas panem de terra: * et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis:
17 Ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo: * et panis cor hóminis confírmet.
18 Saturabúntur ligna campi, et cedri Líbani, quas plantávit: * illic pásseres nidificábunt.
19 Heródii domus dux est eórum: * montes excélsi cervis: petra refúgium herináciis.
20 Fecit lunam in témpora: * sol cognóvit occásum suum.
21 Posuísti ténebras, et facta est nox: * in ipsa pertransíbunt omnes béstiæ silvæ.
22 Cátuli leónum rugiéntes, ut rápiant, * et quærant a Deo escam sibi.
23 Ortus est sol, et congregáti sunt: * et in cubílibus suis collocabúntur.
24 Exíbit homo ad opus suum: * et ad operatiónem suam usque ad vésperum.
25 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua Dómine! * ómnia in sapiéntia fecísti: impléta est terra possessióne tua.
26 Hoc mare magnum, et spatiósum mánibus: * illic reptília, quorum non est númerus.
27 Animália pusílla cum magnis: * illic naves pertransíbunt.
28 Draco iste, quem formásti ad illudéndum ei: * ómnia a te exspéctant ut des illis escam in témpore.
29 Dante te illis, cólligent: * aperiénte te manum tuam, ómnia implebúntur bonitáte.
30 Averténte autem te fáciem, turbabúntur: * aúferes spíritum eórum, et defícient, et in púlverem suum reverténtur.
31 Emíttes spíritum tuum, et creabúntur: * et renovábis fáciem terræ.
32 Sit glória Dómini in sǽculum: * lætábitur Dóminus in opéribus suis.
33 Qui réspicit terram, et facit eam trémere: * qui tangit montes, et fúmigant.
34 Cantábo Dómino in vita mea: * psallam Deo meo, quámdiu sum.
35 Jucúndum sit ei elóquium meum: * ego vero delectábor in Dómino.
36 Defíciant peccatóres a terra, et iníqui ita ut non sint: * bénedic ánima mea Dómino.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Bless the Lord, O my soul: * O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great.
2 Thou hast put on praise and beauty: * And art clothed with light as with a garment.
3 Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: * Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water.
4 Who makest the clouds thy chariot: * who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
5 Who makest thy angels spirits: * and thy ministers a burning fire.
6 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: * it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
7 The deep like a garment is its clothing: * above the mountains shall the waters stand.
8 At thy rebuke they shall flee: * at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
9 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend * into the place which thou hast founded for them.
10 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
11 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: * between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
12 All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
13 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
14 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: * the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
15 Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men.
16 That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: * And that wine may cheer the heart of man.
17 That he may make the face cheerful with oil: * and that bread may strengthen man's heart.
18 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: * There the sparrows shall make their nests.
19 The highest of them is the house of the heron. * The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
20 He hath made the moon for seasons: * the sun knoweth his going down.
21 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: * in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
22 The young lions roaring after their prey, * and seeking their meat from God.
23 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
24 Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
25 How great are thy works, O Lord! * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
26 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: * there are creeping things without number:
27 Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
28 This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
29 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
30 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
31 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
32 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
33 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: * he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
34 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: * I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
35 Let my speech be acceptable to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
36 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: * O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.

Matth. 17.

In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Jesus Petrum, et Jacóbum, et Joánnem, fratrem ejus, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Joánnis Chrysóstomi.

Homil. 57. in Matth., in init.

Quóniam multa de perículis, multa de passióne sua, multa de morte et de cæde discipulórum locútus est Dóminus: et áspera complúra atque árdua eis injúnxit, et illa quidem in præsénti vita, et jam imminébant; bona vero in spe et exspectatióne erant: ut puta, quia servárent ánimam suam, si pérderent eam; quia in glória Patris sui ventúrus sit, et prǽmia redditúrus: ut visu étiam certióres fáceret, et osténderet quidnam sit illa glória, cum qua ventúrus est, quantum cápere póterant in hac præsénti vita, illis osténdit, eámque détegit, ne aut sua, aut Dómini morte dóleant, et máxime Petrus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.


But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Responsorium VII.

Et vide quid agit, cum de regno et de gehénna disserúerit. Nam in eo quod dixit: Qui ínvenit ánimam suam, perdet eam; et quicúmque perdet eam grátia mei, invéniet ipsam; et in eo quod ait: Reddet unicuíque secúndum ópera sua: et regnum et gehénnam designávit. Cum ígitur de utrísque disserúerit, regnum quidem ut óculis cernátur, concédit; gehénnam autem mínime, quóniam rudióribus atque ineptióribus illud necessárium fuísset: sed cum illi probi essent ac perspicáces, satis fuit eos a melióribus confirmári. Hoc étiam multo magis ipsum decébat; non tamen omníno illud prætermísit, sed et aliquándo atrocitátem gehénnæ quasi ante óculos propónit, véluti cum Lázari imáginem descrípsit, et ejus méminit, qui denários centum repétiit. Tu vero Matthǽi philosophíam consídera, qui non celávit nómina eórum qui præpósiti fúerant. Quod et Joánnes sǽpius facit, cum exímias Petri laudes veríssime ac diligentíssime descríbat. Nullum enim in hoc Apostolórum consórtio livor, aut inánis glória locum habébat. Primos ígitur Apostolórum seórsum assúmpsit. Quamóbrem eos solos accépit? Quia excellentióres céteris vidélicet erant. Cur autem non íllico, sed post sex dies hoc fecit? Ne céteri scílicet discípuli seu hómines moveréntur: qua de re nec eos nominávit, quos acceptúrus erat.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.


But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Responsorium VIII.

℟. Deus, qui fecit de ténebris lumen splendéscere, illúxit in córdibus nostris, * Ad illuminatiónem sciéntiæ claritátis Dei, in fácie Jesu Christi.

Respóndit: Non ego te désero fili: majóra te manent pro Christi fide certámina: post tríduum me sequéris, sacerdótem levíta: intérea, si quid in thesaúris habes, paupéribus distríbue. Eódem ígitur die interféctus est una cum Felicíssimo et Agapíto diáconis, Januário, Magno, Vincéntio, et Stéphano subdiáconis, et in cœmetério Callísti sepúltus octávo Idus Augústi: céteri vero in cœmetério Prætextáti.

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.

1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: * let his praise be in the church of the saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: * and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.
3 Let them praise his name in choir: * let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.
4 For the Lord is well pleased with his people: * and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
5 The saints shall rejoice in glory: * they shall be joyful in their beds.
6 The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: * and two-edged swords in their hands:
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, * chastisements among the people:
8 To bind their kings with fetters, * and their nobles with manacles of iron.
9 To execute upon them the judgment that is written: * this glory is to all his saints.

1 Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: * praise ye him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise ye him for his mighty acts: * praise ye him according to the multitude of his greatness.
3 Praise him with sound of trumpet: * praise him with psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with timbrel and choir: * praise him with strings and organs.
5 Praise him on high sounding cymbals: praise him on cymbals of joy: * let every spirit praise the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

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.
