Die 2 Octobris 2027.
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.
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.

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.
Veníte adorémus.
O come, let us worship Him.
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.

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.
Veníte adorémus.
O come, let us worship Him.
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.

Custódes hóminum psállimus Angelos,
Natúræ frágili quos Pater áddidit
Cœléstis cómites, insidiántibus
Ne succúmberet hóstibus.
Nam quod corrúerit próditor ángelus,
Concéssis mérito pulsus honóribus,
Ardens invídia péllere nítitur
Quos cœlo Deus ádvocat.
Huc custos ígitur pérvigil ádvola,
Avértens pátria de tibi crédita
Tam morbos ánimi, quam requiéscere
Quidquid non sinit íncolas.
Sanctæ sit Tríadi laus pia júgiter,
Cujus perpétuo númine máchina
Triplex hæc régitur, cujus in ómnia
Regnat glória sǽcula.
Amen.
Dóminus Deus * cœli et terræ, ipse mittet Angelum suum coram te.

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.
Dóminus Deus cœli et terræ, ipse mittet Angelum suum coram te.
The Lord God of heaven and earth shall send His Angel before thee.
Deus meus * misit Angelum suum, et conclúsit ora leónum, et non nocuérunt mihi.
My God hath sent His Angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me.
Psalmus 10.
In Dómino confído: quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
2 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
3 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * justus autem quid fecit?
4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cœlo sedes ejus:
5 Oculi ejus in paúperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord's throne is in heaven.
5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
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 meus misit Angelum suum, et conclúsit ora leónum, et non nocuérunt mihi.
My God hath sent His Angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me.
Bene ambulétis, * et Dóminus sit in itínere vestro, et Angelus ejus comitétur vobíscum.
Go prosperously, and the Lord be with you in your journey, and His Angel keep you company.
Psalmus 14.
Dómine quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * aut quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
3 Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
4 Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
5 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
6 Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.
7 Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:
4 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
5 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
6 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
7 He that doth these things * shall not be moved for 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.
Bene ambulétis, et Dóminus sit in itínere vestro, et Angelus ejus comitétur vobíscum.

De libro Exodi.
From the Book of Exodus
Exodus 23. d.
Ecce ego mittam Angelum meum, qui præcédat te, et custódiat in via, et introdúcat in locum quem parávi. Obsérva eum, et audi vocem ejus, nec contemnéndum putes: quia non dimíttet cum peccáveris, et est nomen meum in illo. Quod si audíeris vocem ejus, et féceris ómnia quæ loquor, inimícus ero inimícis tuis, et afflígam affligéntes te. Præcedétque te Angelus meus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared. Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him. But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee. And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Zach. 1. b.
Factum est verbum Dómini ad Zacharíam fílium Barachíæ, fílii Addo, prophétam, dicens: Vidi per noctem, et ecce vir ascéndens super equum rufum, et ipse stabat inter myrtéta quæ erant in profúndo: et post eum equi rufi, várii, et albi. Et dixi: Quid sunt isti, Dómine mi? Et dixit ad me Angelus, qui loquebátur in me: Ego osténdam tibi quid sint hæc. Et respóndit vir, qui stabat inter myrtéta, et dixit: Isti sunt quos misit Dóminus ut perámbulent terram. Et respondérunt Angelo Dómini, qui stabat inter myrtéta, et dixérunt: Perambulávimus terram, et ecce omnis terra habitátur, et quiéscit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
In the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month which is called Sabath, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying: I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, that were in the bottom: and behind him were horses, red, speckled, and white. And I said: What are these, my Lord? and the angel that spoke in me, said to me: I will shew thee what these are: And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered, and said: These are they, whom the Lord hath sent to walk through the earth. And they answered the angel of the Lord, that stood among the myrtle trees, and said: We have walked through the earth, and behold all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Et levávi óculos meos, et vidi: et ecce vir, et in manu ejus funículus mensórum. Et dixi: Quo tu vadis? Et dixit ad me: Ut métiar Jerúsalem, et vídeam quanta sit latitúdo ejus, et quanta longitúdo ejus. Et ecce Angelus qui loquebátur in me, egrediebátur, et Angelus álius egrediebátur in occúrsum ejus. Et dixit ad eum: Curre, lóquere ad púerum istum dicens: Absque muro habitábitur Jerúsalem præ multitúdine hóminum, et jumentórum in médio ejus. Et ego ero ei, ait Dóminus, murus ignis in circúitu: et in glória ero in médio ejus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand. And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof. And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him. And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof. And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

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.

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.
Cum essem vobíscum, per voluntátem Dei eram: ipsum benedícite, et cantáte ei.
When I came unto you, by the will of God I came; bless Him, and give Him thanks.
Tollens se Angelus Dómini, * qui præcedébat castra Israël, ábiit post eos.
The Angel of the Lord, which went before the camp of Israel, removed, and went behind them.
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.

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.

19 Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
20 Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: * unum ex his non conterétur.
21 Mors peccatórum péssima: * et qui odérunt justum, delínquent.
22 Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: * et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis.
From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux.)
In Psalmum Qui hábitat.
Angelis suis mandávit de te. Mira dignátio, et vere magna diléctio caritátis. Quis enim? quibus? de quo? quid mandávit? Studióse considerémus, fratres, diligénter commendémus memóriæ hoc tam grande mandátum. Quis enim mandávit? cujus sunt Angeli? cujus mandátis obtémperant? cujus obédiunt voluntáti? Nempe Angelis suis mandávit de te, ut custódiant te in ómnibus viis tuis. Nec cunctántur, quin étiam in mánibus tollant te. Summa ergo majéstas mandávit Angelis, et Angelis suis mandávit. Illis útique sublímibus, tam beátis quam próximis sibi cohæréntibus, et vere domésticis mandávit de te. Tu quis es? Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? aut fílius hóminis, quóniam réputas eum? Quasi vero non sit homo putrédo, et fílius hóminis vermis. Sed quid putas mandávit de te? Ut custódiant te.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
He hath given His Angels charge over thee. A wonderful graciousness, and a wonderful outpouring of love. For who hath given charge? And what charge? Unto whom? And over whom? Let us carefully consider, my brethren, let us carefully hold in mind this great charge. For who hath given this charge? To Whom belong the Angels? Whose commandments do they obey, and Whose will do they do? He hath given His Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways, and that not carelessly, for they shall bear thee up in their hands. The Highest Majesty, therefore, hath given charge unto Angels, even His Angels. Unto these beings so excellently exalted, so blessed, so near to Himself, even as His own household, unto these hath He given charge over thee. Who art thou? What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that Thou visitest him? (Ps. viii. 5.) Even as though man were not rottenness, and the son of man, a worm. (Job. xxv. 6.) But what charge hath He given them over thee? To keep thee in all thy ways.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Quantam tibi debet hoc verbum inférre reveréntiam, afférre devotiónem, conférre fidúciam! Reveréntiam pro præséntia, devotiónem pro benevoléntia, fidúciam pro custódia. Caute ámbula, ut vidélicet, cui adsunt Angeli, sicut eis mandátum est, in ómnibus viis tuis. In quovis diversório, in quovis ángulo Angelo tuo reveréntiam habe. Tu ne aúdeas illo præsénte, quod vidénte me non audéres. An præséntem esse dúbitas, quem non vides? Quid si audíres? Quid si tángeres? Quid si olfáceres? Vide, quia non solo visu rerum præséntia comprobétur.

℟. Deo grátias.
That respect, what thankfulness, what trust, ought this word to work in thee! Respect for their presence, thankfulness for their kindness, trust in their safe keeping. Walk carefully, as one with whom are Angels, as hath been laid in charge upon them, in all thy ways. In every lodging, in every nook, have reverence for thine Angel. Dare not to do in his presence what thou wouldst not dare to do in mine. Or dost thou doubt whether he be indeed present, because thou seest him not? What if thou heardest him? What if thou touchedst him? What if thou smelledst him? Behold, not by sight alone is the presence of things made manifest.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Tantum sequámur eos, adhæreámus eis, et in protectióne Dei cœli commorémur. Quóties ergo gravíssima cérnitur urgére tentátio, et tribulátio véhemens imminére, ínvoca custódem tuum, ductórem tuum, adjutórem tuum in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne: incláma eum, et dic: Dómine salva nos, perímus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Let us also, brethren, dearly love His Angels, as them with whom we are one day to be co-heirs, and who in the meanwhile are leaders and guardians set over us by the Father. With such guardians, whereof shall we be afraid? They that keep us in all our ways, can neither be conquered nor corrupted, far less can they corrupt. They are trusty, they are wary, they are mighty. Whereof shall we be afraid? Only let us follow them, only let us cleave unto them, and we shall abide under the shadow of the God of heaven. As often then as the gloom of temptation threateneth thee, or the sharpness of tribulation hangeth over thee, call upon Him That keepeth thee, thy Shepherd, thy Refuge in times of trouble, call upon Him, and say: "Lord, save us, we perish."
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Matth. 18.
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Et réliqua.
At that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? And so on.
Homilía sancti Hilárii Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Hilary, Bishop.
Comment. in Matth. can. 18., post init.
Nónnisi revérsos in natúram puerórum introíre regnum cœlórum Dóminus docet: id est, per simplicitátem puerílem vítia córporum nostrórum animǽque revocánda. Púeros autem credéntes omnes per audiéntiæ fidem nuncupávit. Hi enim patrem sequúntur, matrem amant, próximo velle malum nésciunt, curam opum négligunt: non isoléscunt, non odérunt, non mentiúntur, dictis credunt, et quod aúdiunt, verum habent. Reverténdum ígitur est ad simplicitátem infántium, quia in ea collocáti, spéciem humilitátis domínicæ circumferémus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Unless ye become as little children, saith the Lord, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven, that is, unless by the uprooting of bodily and mental depravity, we bring our souls to the innocency of childhood. But He giveth the name of children to all such as believe by the hearing of faith. Children follow their father, love their mother, know not how to wish evil to their neighbours, are not careful for earthly riches; they insult not, they hate not, they lie not, they believe what they are told, and take for truth what they hear. Us then it behoveth to return to the simpleness of little children, for when we are well rooted therein, we shall so far bear about in ourselves an image of the sublime simpleness of the Lord Jesus.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VII.
℟. Machabǽus, et qui cum eo erant, cognovérunt expugnári præsídia: * Cum fletu et lácrimis rogábant Dóminum, et omnis turba simul, ut bonum Angelum mítteret ad salútem Israël.
℣. Cum páriter prompto ánimo procéderent Jerosólymis, appáruit præcédens eos eques in veste cándida.
℟. Cum fletu et lácrimis rogábant Dóminum, et omnis turba simul, ut bonum Angelum mítteret ad salútem Israël.
℟. When Maccabeus and they that were with him heard that (Lysias) besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamentation and tears besought the Lord that He would send; * A good Angel to deliver Israel.
℣. So they went forth together with a willing mind, and, as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them on horseback one in white clothing.
℟. A good Angel to deliver Israel.

Væ huic mundo ab scándalis. Humílitas passiónis scándalum mundo est. In hoc enim máxime ignorántia detinétur humána, quod sub deformitáte crucis, ætérnæ glóriæ Dóminum nóluit accípere. Et quid mundo tam periculósum, quam non recepísse Christum? Ideo vero necésse esse ait veníre scándala: quia ad sacraméntum reddéndæ nobis æternitátis, omnis in eo passiónis humílitas esset explénda.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Woe unto the world because of offences. The lowliness of the Passion is an offence unto the world. Such is the state of stupidity to which man's ignorance hath reduced itself, that it turneth away from the Lord of Eternal Glory, because of the unsightliness of the Cross. And what is so certain to bring woe unto the world as to turn away from Christ. And therefore He saith: "It must needs be that offences come," because His fulfilling the lowliness of the Passion was the predestined mean whereby He was to give us eternal life.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VIII.
℟. Tu Dómine, qui misísti Angelum tuum sub Ezechía rege Juda, et interfecísti de castris Sennácherib centum octogínta quinque míllia: * Et nunc Dominátor cœlórum mitte Angelum tuum bonum ante nos, in timóre et tremóre magnitúdinis bráchii tui.
℣. Ut métuant qui cum blasphémia véniunt advérsus sanctum pópulum tuum.

℟. O Lord, Thou didst send thine Angel in the time of Hezekiah, King of Judah, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred, fourscore, and five thousand. * Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send thy good Angel before us, for a fear and dread of the might of thine arm.
℣. That those be stricken with terror that come with blasphemy against thy holy people.
℟. Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send thy good Angel before us, for a fear and dread of the might of thine arm.

℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May He that is the Angels’ King * to that high realm His people bring.
Amen.
Vidéte ne contemnátis unum de pusíllis istis qui credunt in me. Aptíssimum vínculum mútui amóris impósuit, ad eos præcípue qui vere in Dómino credidíssent. Pusillórum enim Angeli quotídie Deum vident: quia Fílius hóminis venit salváre quæ pérdita sunt. Ergo et Fílius hóminis salvat, et Deum Angeli vident, et Angeli pusillórum præsunt fidélium oratiónibus. Præésse Angelos absolúta auctóritas est. Salvatórum ígitur per Christum oratiónes Angeli quotídie Deo ófferunt. Ergo periculóse ille contémnitur, cujus desidéria, ac postulatiónes ad ætérnum, et invisíbilem Deum ambitióso Angelórum famulátu ac ministério pervehúntur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Make heed that ye despise not one of these little ones that believe in Me.« He hath laid on us a most meet tie to constrain us to love one another, especially such as indeed believe in the Lord. »For I say unto you that in heaven their Angels do always behold the face of My Father Which is in heaven. For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost.« From these words we see, first, that the Son of Man saveth secondly, that the Angels do see God and thirdly, that the Angels of these little ones have the wardship over the prayers of the faithful. That the Angels have this wardship is taught us absolutely. The Angels therefore do every day offer to God the prayers which they which are saved do make to Him in the Name of Christ. Therefore it is dangerous for a man to despise them, seeing that these are they by whose watchful service and ministry, his wishes and requests are presented before the throne of the eternal and unseen God.
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.
O Lord, save Thy people, * and bless Thine inheritance.

O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in Thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: * let me never be confounded.

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.

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.

6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: * he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, * ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds * which fulfill his word:
9 Mountains and all hills, * fruitful trees and all cedars:
10 Beasts and all cattle: * serpents and feathered fowls:
11 Kings of the earth and all people: * princes and all judges of the earth:
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord: * for his name alone is exalted.
13 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: * and he hath exalted the horn of his people.
14 A hymn to all his saints: * to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him.
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.

Hymnus.
Ætérne Rector síderum,
Qui, quidquid est poténtia
Magna creásti, nec regis
Minóre providéntia:
Adésto supplicántium
Tibi reórum cœ́tui,
Lucísque sub crepúsculum
Lucem novam da méntibus.
Tuúsque nobis Angelus
Eléctus ad custódiam,
Hic adsit; a contágio
Ut críminum nos prótegat.
Nobis dracónis ǽmuli
Versútias extérminet;
Ne rete frauduléntiæ
Incaúta nectat péctora.
Metum repéllat hóstium
Nostris procul de fínibus:
Pacem procúret cívium,
Fugétque pestiléntiam,
Deo Patri sit glória,
Qui, quos redémit Fílius,
Et sanctus unxit Spíritus,
Per Angelos custódiat.
Amen.

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.
