Isa 38:10-24

Isa 38:10-23

38:10 Ego dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum * vadam ad portas ínferi.

38:10 I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go to the gates of hell:

38:11 Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.

38:11 I sought for the residue of my years. * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.

38:12 Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, * et habitatórem quiétis.

38:12 I shall behold man no more, * nor the inhabitant of rest.

38:13 Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, * quasi tabernáculum pastórum.

38:13 My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, * as a shepherd’s tent.

38:14 Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: * de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.

38:14 My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

38:15 Sperábam usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea:

38:15 I hoped till morning, * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:

38:16 De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: * sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba:

38:16 From morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. * I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:

38:17 Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, * suspiciéntes in excélsum.

38:17 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:

38:18 Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?

38:18 Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?

38:19 Recogitábo tibi omnes annos meos * in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ.

38:19 I will recount to thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.

38:20 Dómine, si sic vívitur, et in tálibus vita spíritus mei, corrípies me, et vivificábis me. * Ecce, in pace amaritúdo mea amaríssima:

38:20 O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:

38:21 Tu autem eruísti ánimam meam ut non períret: * proiecísti post tergum tuum ómnia peccáta mea.

38:21 But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, * thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

38:22 Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, neque mors laudábit te: * non exspectábunt qui descéndunt in lacum, veritátem tuam.

38:22 For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: * nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.

38:23 Vivens vivens ipse confitébitur tibi, sicut et ego hódie: * pater fíliis notam fáciet veritátem tuam.

38:23 The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: * the father shall make thy truth known to the children.

43:3 Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.

43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

43:4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et brácchium eórum non salvávit eos:

43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

43:4 Sed déxtera tua, et brácchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

Bibiána virgo Romána, nóbili génere nata, christiána fide nobílior fuit. Eius enim paréntes, Flaviánus et Dafrósa, sub Iuliáno Apóstata martýrium subiérunt. Tum Bibiána eiúsque soror Demétria, bonis ómnibus exspoliátæ et ab Aproniáno, Urbis prætóre, blandítiis et minis tentátæ, ut a recta fide declinárent, prætóris impietátem constantíssime detestátæ sunt. Quo in agóne Demétria, ob óculos Bibiánæ repénte córruens, óbiit in Dómino. Bibiána autem Rufínæ mulíeri vaférrimæ seducénda tráditur; sed, eius superátis insídiis, prætóris astus delúsit. Quare huius iussu plumbátis cæsa est, donec ánimam efflávit. Eius sacrum corpus, bíduo cánibus obiéctum, illǽsum tamen divínitus servátum, Ioánnes présbyter sepelívit noctu iuxta sepúlcrum soróris et matris ad palátium Liciniánum, ubi nunc exstat ecclésia Deo, sanctæ Bibiánæ nómine, dicáta.

Bibiana, a Roman virgin, was born of noble parents but was of still nobler race by reason of her Christian faith. Her parents, Flavian and Dafrosa, suffered martyrdom under Julian the Apostate. Then Bibiana and her sister, Demetria, were deprived of all their possessions, and Apronianus, praetor of the City, attempted, both by promises and by threats, to make them abandon the true faith. But they resisted him and his wickedness with great constancy. In this struggle, Demetria suddenly collapsed before Bibiana's eyes, and died in the Lord. Next Bibiana herself was handed over to a very crafty woman called Rufina, who was to have her seduced. But Bibiana was victorious over all her wiles, and thwarted the praetor's evil designs. Then he commanded that she be beaten with leaded whips, and at length she breathed out her soul. Her sacred body, left exposed to the dogs for two days, was preserved unharmed by divine power. John the priest buried it by night next to the grave of her sister and mother, near the palace of Licinius, where now stands a church dedicated to God and named after St. Bibiana.

Psalm 51 [2]

51:3 Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es in iniquitáte?

51:3 Why dost thou glory in malice, * thou that art mighty in iniquity?

51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.

51:4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

51:5 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: * and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.

51:6 Dilexísti ómnia verba præcipitatiónis, * lingua dolósa.

51:6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.

51:7 Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem, * evéllet te, et emigrábit te de tabernáculo tuo: et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.

51:7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.

51:8 Vidébunt iusti, et timébunt, et super eum ridébunt, et dicent: * Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum adiutórem suum:

51:8 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: * Behold the man that made not God his helper:

51:9 Sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum: * et præváluit in vanitáte sua.

51:9 But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.

51:10 Ego autem, sicut olíva fructífera in domo Dei, * sperávi in misericórdia Dei in ætérnum: et in sǽculum sǽculi.

51:10 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, * have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.

51:11 Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti: * et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum.

52:4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.

52:5 Nonne scient omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?

52:6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

52:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.

Isa 5:1-4

Isa 5:1-4

1 Cantábo dilécto meo cánticum patruélis mei víneæ suæ: Vínea facta est dilécto meo in cornu fílio ólei.

1 I will sing to my beloved the canticle of my cousin concerning his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a hill in a fruitful place.

2 Et sepívit eam, et lápides elégit ex illa, et plantávit eam eléctam, et ædificávit turrem in médio eius, et tórcular exstrúxit in ea: et exspectávit ut fáceret uvas, et fecit labrúscas.

2 And he fenced it in, and picked the stones out of it, and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a tower in the midst thereof, and set up a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

3 Nunc ergo, habitatóres Ierúsalem, et viri Iuda, iudicáte inter me et víneam meam.

3 And now, O ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and ye men of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.

4 Quid est quod débui ultra fácere víneæ meæ, et non feci ei? An quod exspectávi, ut fáceret uvas, et fecit labrúscas?

4 What is there that I ought to do more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? was it that I looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it hath brought forth wild grapes?

Isa 5:5-7

5 Et nunc osténdam vobis quid ego fáciam víneæ meæ: áuferam sepem eius, et erit in direptiónem: díruam macériam eius, et erit in conculcatiónem.

5 And now I will shew you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be wasted: I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down.

6 Et ponam eam desértam: non putábitur, et non fodiétur. Et ascéndent vepres et spinæ; et núbibus mandábo ne pluant super eam imbrem.

6 And I will make it desolate: it shall not be pruned, and it shall not be digged: but briers and thorns shall come up: and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.

7 Vínea enim Dómini exercítuum domus Israël est: et vir Iuda germen eius delectábile: et exspectávi ut fáceret iudícium, et ecce iníquitas: et iustítiam, et ecce clamor.

7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel: and the man of Juda, his pleasant plant: and I looked that he should do judgment, and behold iniquity: and do justice, and behold a cry.

Francíscus, in Xavério diœcésis Pampelonénsis nobílibus paréntibus natus, Parísiis sancto Ignátio sese cómitem et discípulum iungit, et brevi mira vitæ austeritáte et rerum divinárum assídua contemplatióne cláruit. A Paulo tértio apostólicus núntius pro Indiis creátus, províncias innúmeras pédibus semper, et sæpe nudis, peragrávit. Fidem Iapóniæ et sex áliis regiónibus invéxit. Multa centéna hóminum míllia ad Christum in Indiis convértit; magnósque príncipes regésque complúres sacro fonte expiávit. Ea tamen erat humilitáte, ut sancto Ignátio, præpósito suo, flexis génibus scríberet. Eius dilatándi Evangélii ardórem multitúdine et excelléntia miraculórum Dóminus roborávit. Demum in Sanciáno Sinárum ínsula, die secúnda decémbris, óbiit plenus méritis laboribúsque conféctus. Eum Gregórius décimus quintus inter Sanctos rétulit, Pius autem décimus sodalitáti et óperi Propagándæ Fídei cæléstem patrónum constítuit.

Francis was born of noble family at Xavier in the diocese of Pamplona. In Paris, he joined the companions and disciples of St. Ignatius, and in a short time became a shining example of austerity of life and untiring contemplation of divine things. Paul III made him apostolic nuncio to India, and he traveled about through countless provinces, always on foot and often barefoot. He brought the faith to Japan and six other regions. In India he converted many hundreds of thousands to Christianity, cleansing many princes and kings in the holy waters of baptism. His humility was so great that, when he wrote to St. Ignatius, his general, he always did so on his knees. By many and wonderful miracles, the Lord confirmed his zealous work in spreading the Gospel. Finally, on the Chinese island of Sancian, he died on the 2nd of December, rich in merits and worn out with his labors. Gregory XV enrolled him among the Saints, and Pius X, appointed him the heavenly patron of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith and of its work.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?

72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.

72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa iustificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:

72:18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up, thou hast cast them down.

72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.

72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.

72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.

72:20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.

72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.

72:21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.

72:23 Ut iuméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.

72:23 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:

72:28 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, * to put my hope in the Lord God:

1 In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple.

2 Séraphim stabant super illud: sex alæ uni, et sex alæ álteri, duábus velábant fáciem eius, et duábus velábant pedes eius, et duábus volábant.

2 Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they flew.

3 Et clamábant alter ad álterum, et dicébant: Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, Dóminus exercítuum, plena est omnis terra glória eius.

Petrus, qui ob áuream eius eloquéntiam Chrysólogi cognómen adéptus est, Foro Cornélii in Æmília honéstis paréntibus natus, a prima ætáte ánimum ad religiónem adíciens Cornélio Románo, tunc eiúsdem urbis Corneliénsis epíscopo, óperam dedit; a quo diáconus mérito creátus est. A sancto Xysto Papa tértio archiepíscopus Ravénnæ, licet invítus, renuntiátus, a Ravennátibus máxima cum reveréntia suscéptus est. In pastoráli múnere exímius, ludos ab homínibus personátis fíeri sólitos ut cohibéret concióne, illud præcláre dixit: Qui iocári volúerit cum diábolo, non póterit gaudére cum Christo. Vitæ suæ finem divínitus prænóscens, in pátriam se cóntulit; et sancti Cassiáni templum ingréssus, pretiósa dona cum obtulísset, Deum eundémque patrónum humíliter rogávit, ut benígne ánimam eius excíperent. Migrávit ex hac vita quarto nonas decémbris, décimo octávo episcopátus anno. Eius sacrum corpus prope corpus sancti Cassiáni honorífice cónditum est.

Peter named 'Chrysologus', because of his golden quality of his eloquence, was born of good parents at Imola in Aemelia. Turning to religion from his earliest youth, he put himself under Cornelius of Rome, at that time bishop of Imola, who recognized his worth and ordained him deacon. In spite of his protests, Sixtus III proclaimed him archbishop of Ravenna, where he was received by the people with the greatest reverence. He was outstanding for his pastoral work and, in a sermon designed to put a stop to the customary games and masques, he made the famous statement: “The man who wants to play with the devil will not be able to rejoice with Christ.” Divinely forewarned that the end of his life was approaching, he went back to his native town and, going into the church of St. Cassian, offered gifts and humbly begged God and his holy patron mercifully to receive his soul. He departed this life on December 2, in the eighteenth year of his episcopate, His holy body was buried with great honor next to that of St, Cassian.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

In Iudǽa sancti Sabbæ Abbátis, in óppido Cappadóciæ Mútala orti, qui miro sanctitátis exémplo refúlsit, et pro fide cathólica, advérsus impugnántes sanctam Sýnodum Chalcedonénsem, strénue laborávit, ac tandem in ea diœcésis Hierosolymitánæ laura, quæ ipsíus sancti Sabbæ nómine póstmodum est insigníta, requiévit in pace.

At Nice, upon the river Var, holy Bassus, Bishop (of that see, in the third century.) In the persecution under the Emperors Decius and Valerian the President Perennius caused him for Christ's faith's sake to be racked, burnt with plates of white-hot metal, beaten with cudgels and loaded scourges, cast into the fire, and when he came out therefrom unharmed, to be pierced with two nails, and so he achieved an illustrious martyrdom.

Thagúræ, in Africa, sanctórum Mártyrum Iúlii, Potámiæ, Crispíni, Felícis, Grati et aliórum septem.

At Pavia, the holy martyr Dalmatius, Bishop (of that see,) who suffered in the persecution under the Emperor Maximian, (in the year 304.)

Thebéste, in Numídia, sanctæ Crispínæ, nobilíssimæ féminæ, quæ, tempóribus Diocletiáni et Maximiáni, cum sacrificáre nollet, iussu Anolíni Procónsulis decolláta est; quam sanctus Augustínus sæpe láudibus celébrat.

Hi omnes, in persecutióne Wandálica, sub Ariáno Rege Hunneríco, gravíssimis et innúmeris supplíciis pro cathólicæ fídei defensióne cruciáti, sanctórum Christi Confessórum número sociári meruérunt.

In Africa, the holy women Dionysia, Dativa, and Leontia, and the monk Tertius, the physician Aemilian, Boniface, and three others, who in the Vandal persecution under the Arian King Hunneric were tormented in most grievous and manifold ways for their defence of the Catholic faith, and so earned a place among Confessors of Christ, (in the year 484.)

Romæ sanctæ Aséllæ Vírginis, quæ (ut beátus Hierónymus scribit), ex útero matris benedícta, vitam in ieiúniis et oratiónibus usque ad senéctam prodúxit.

At the same time and place, the holy martyr Majoricus, the son of holy Dionysia. He was but a little lad and was in fear of the torments, but by the looks and words of his mother, he was so strengthened that he became mightier than them all, and died under the torture his mother took his body to her heart, and buried it in their home, and was used to pray instantly at his grave.

Granátæ, in Hispánia, pássio beáti Petri Paschásii, Epíscopi Giennénsis et Mártyris, ex Ordine beátæ Maríæ de Mercéde redemptiónis captivórum.

On the same day, the holy priest Polychronius, who was saying Mass in the time of the Emperor Constantius, when the Arians attacked him and slew him, (fourth century.)

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 11:2-10

Matt 11:2-10

In illo témpore: Cum audísset Ioánnes in vínculis ópera Christi, mittens duos de discípulis suis, ait illi: Tu es qui ventúrus es, an álium exspectámus? Et réliqua.

In that time, when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him: Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another? And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 6 in Evangelia, post initium

6th Homily on the Gospels

Visis tot signis tantísque virtútibus, non scandalizári quisque pótuit, sed admirári. Sed infidélium mens grave in illo scándalum pértulit, cum eum post tot mirácula moriéntem vidit. Unde et Paulus dicit: Nos autem prædicámus Christum crucifíxum, Iudǽis quidem scándalum, géntibus autem stultítiam. Stultum quippe homínibus visum est, ut pro homínibus Auctor vitæ morerétur: et inde contra eum homo scándalum sumpsit, unde ei ámplius débitor fíeri débuit. Nam tanto Deus ab homínibus dígnius honorándus est, quanto pro homínibus et indígna suscépit.

The sight of so many signs and so many mighty works should have been a source of wonder, and not a stumbling-block. And yet the unfaithful Jer. xxxi. 5. found these very works a rock of offence, when they afterwards saw Him Who had worked so many miracles dying on the Cross. Hence Paul saith: “We preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block and unto the Gentiles foolishness.” 1 Cor. i. 23. It is indeed folly in the eyes of men to say that the Author of life died for men and thus men put as a stumbling-block to hinder them from coming to Jesus, the very thing that doth oblige them the most unto Him. For the more humbling God hath undergone for man's sake, the more worthy is He that man should worship Him.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ecce Dóminus véniet cum splendóre descéndens, et virtus eius cum eo,

℟. Behold, the Lord cometh down with glory, and His host is with Him.

* Visitáre pópulum suum in pace, et constitúere super eum vitam sempitérnam.

* To visit His people in peace, and to establish them in life everlasting.

℣. Ecce Dóminus noster cum virtúte véniet.

℣. Behold, our Lord cometh with an host.

℟. Visitáre pópulum suum in pace, et constitúere super eum vitam sempitérnam.

Ambrósius epíscopus Mediolanénsis, Ambrósii civis Románi fílius, in Urbe liberálibus disciplínis erudítus est. A Probo præfécto, Ligúriæ et Æmíliæ præpósitus, eiúsdem iussu, cum potestáte Mediolánum venit; ubi, mórtuo Auxéntio Ariáno epíscopo, pópulus de successóre deligéndo dissidébat. Quare Ambrósius, pro offícii sui múnere ecclésiam ingréssus, ut commótam seditiónem sedáret, cum multa de quiéte et tranquillitáte reipúblicæ præcláre dixísset, derepénte púero Ambrósium epíscopum exclamánte, univérsi pópuli vox erúpit, Ambrósium epíscopum deposcéntis. Quare baptizátus (erat enim catechúmenus), sacris initiátus, omnibúsque órdinum grádibus de more Ecclésiæ suscéptis, episcopáli dignitáte auctus est. Quo in múnere cathólicam veritátem et disciplínam ecclesiásticam tum verbo tum scriptis ácriter deféndit, multósque Ariános, et álios hæréticos ad fidem convértit, e quibus sanctum Augustínum Iesu Christo péperit. Tot pro Ecclésia Dei labóribus curísque perfúnctus, óbiit prídie nonas aprílis, anno trecentésimo nonagésimo séptimo.

Ambrose, bishop of Milan, son of Ambrose, who was a Roman citizen, was educated in the City in the liberal arts. Appointed by the prefect Probus to govern Liguria and Aemilia at his order and with his authority. Ambrose went to Milan, where Auxentius, the Arian bishop, had died and the people were quarreling about the choice of a successor. In the exercise of his official duty, Ambrose went into the church to quell the riot that had arisen and, when he had spoken at length and eloquently on the peace and tranquility of the state, suddenly a boy's voice exclaimed, “Ambrose bishop!” Then the whole populace with one voice demanded that he be elected. And so he received baptism (for he had been only a catechumen), the other sacraments of the Christian initiation, all the degrees of orders according to the custom of the Church, and was raised to the dignity of the episcopate. In carrying of his office, he courageously defended the Catholic faith and the discipline of the Church both in speech and in writing, and converted many Arians and other heretics to the faith, among whom was St. Augustine, whom he begot to Christ Jesus as his spiritual child. Worn out by all his labors and cares for the Church of God, he died on April 4 in the year 397.

From the book of Genesis

Gen 3:1-5

Gen 3:1-5

1 Serpens erat callídior cunctis animántibus terræ quæ fécerat Dóminus Deus. Qui dixit ad mulíerem: Cur præcépit vobis Deus ut non comederétis de omni ligno paradísi?

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?

2 Cui respóndit múlier: De fructu lignórum, quæ sunt in paradíso, véscimur:

2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:

3 De fructu vero ligni quod est in médio paradísi, præcépit nobis Deus ne comederémus, et ne tangerémus illud, ne forte moriámur.

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.

4 Dixit autem serpens ad mulíerem: Nequáquam morte moriémini.

4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.

5 Scit enim Deus quod in quocúmque die comedéritis ex eo, aperiéntur óculi vestri, et éritis sicut dii, sciéntes bonum et malum.

5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Gen 3:6-8

6 Vidit ígitur múlier quod bonum esset lignum ad vescéndum, et pulchrum óculis, aspectúque delectábile: et tulit de fructu illíus, et comédit: dedítque viro suo, qui comédit.

6 And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband who did eat.

7 Et apérti sunt óculi ambórum; cumque cognovíssent se esse nudos, consuérunt fólia ficus, et fecérunt sibi perizómata.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.

8 Et cum audíssent vocem Dómini Dei deambulántis in paradíso ad auram post merídiem, abscóndit se Adam et uxor eius a fácie Dómini Dei in médio ligni paradísi.

Gen 3:9-15

9 Vocavítque Dóminus Deus Adam, et dixit ei: Ubi es?

9 And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?

10 Qui ait: Vocem tuam audívi in paradíso, et tímui, eo quod nudus essem, et abscóndi me.

10 And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.

11 Cui dixit: Quis enim indicávit tibi quod nudus esses, nisi quod ex ligno de quo præcéperam tibi ne coméderes, comedísti?

11 And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?

12 Dixítque Adam: Múlier, quam dedísti mihi sóciam, dedit mihi de ligno, et comédi.

12 And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 Et dixit Dóminus Deus ad mulíerem: Quare hoc fecísti? Quæ respóndit: Serpens decépit me, et comédi.

13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.

14 Et ait Dóminus Deus ad serpéntem: Quia fecísti hoc, maledíctus es inter ómnia animántia, et béstias terræ: super pectus tuum gradiéris, et terram cómedes cunctis diébus vitæ tuæ.

14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

15 Inimicítias ponam inter te et mulíerem, et semen tuum et semen illíus: ipsa cónteret caput tuum, et tu insidiáberis calcáneo eius.

15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

Sermo sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

From the Sermons of St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

De Assumptione B. M. V.

On the Assumption

Qualis et quanta esset beáta et gloriósa semper Virgo María, ab Angelo divínitus declarátur, cum dícitur: Ave, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus. Tálibus namque decébat Vírginem oppignorári munéribus, ut esset grátia plena, quæ dedit cælis glóriam, terris Dóminum, pacémque refúdit, fidem géntibus, finem vítiis, vitæ órdinem, móribus disciplínam. Et bene plena, quia céteris per partes præstátur; Maríæ vero simul se tota infúdit plenitúdo grátiæ. Vere plena, quia etsi in sanctis Pátribus et Prophétis grátia fuísse créditur, non tamen eátenus plena; in Maríam vero totíus grátiæ, quæ in Christo est, plenitúdo venit, quamquam áliter. Et ídeo inquit: Benedícta tu in muliéribus; id est plus benedícta quam omnes mulíeres. Ac per hoc quidquid maledictiónis infúsum est per Hevam, totum ábstulit benedíctio Maríæ. De ipsa Sálomon in Cánticis, quasi in laudem eius, Veni, inquit, colúmba mea, immaculáta mea. Iam enim hiems tránsiit, imber ábiit et recéssit. Ac deínde inquit: Veni de Líbano, veni, coronáberis.

Who and what was the blessed and glorious Mary, always a Virgin, hath been revealed by God by the message of an Angel, in these words: Hail, thou that art full of grace, the Lord is with thee blessed art thou among women. It was fitting that a fullness of grace should be poured into that Virgin who hath given to God glory and to man a Saviour, who hath brought peace to earth, who hath given faith to the Gentiles, who hath killed sin, who hath given law to life, who hath made the crooked ways straight. Verily, she is full of grace. To others grace cometh measure by measure; in Mary grace dwelleth at once in all fullness. Verily, she is full of grace. We believe that the holy Fathers and Prophets had grace; but they were not full of grace. But into Mary came a fullness of all the grace which is in Christ, albeit otherwise than as it is in Him. Therefore is it said: Blessed art thou among women, that is, Blessed art thou above all women. The fulness of blessing in Mary utterly neutralized in her any effects of the curse of Eve. In her praise Solomon writeth in the Song of Songs, ii. 10,: Rise up, my dove, my fair one, for the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. And again: Come from Lebanon, my Spouse, come, thou shalt be crowned.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

iv. 8.

℟. Deo grátias.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ego ex ore Altíssimi prodívi, primogénita ante omnem creatúram: ego feci in cælis, ut orirétur lumen indefíciens.

* Nondum erant abýssi, et ego iam concépta eram.

℟. I came out of the mouth of the Most High, the first-begotten before every creature. I made the unfading light to arise in the heavens.

℣. Deus enim creávit me in iustítia, et apprehéndit manum meam, et servávit me.

* When there were no depths I was conceived.

℟. Nondum erant abýssi, et ego iam concépta eram.

℣. For the Lord hath created me in righteousness, and hath held mine hand, and hath kept me.

Non immérito ígitur veníre de Líbano iubétur, quia Líbanus candidátio interpretátur. Erat enim candidáta multis meritórum virtútibus, et dealbáta nive candídior, Spíritus Sancti munéribus, simplicitátem colúmbæ in ómnibus repræséntans: quóniam, quidquid in ea gestum est, totum púritas et simplícitas, totum véritas et grátia fuit; totum misericórdia et iustítia, quæ de cælo prospéxit: et ídeo immaculáta, quia in nullo corrúpta. Circúmdedit enim virum in útero, sicut Ieremías sanctus testátur, et non aliúnde accépit. Fáciet, inquit, Dóminus novum super terram, et múlier circúmdabit virum. Vere novum, et ómnium novitátum superéminens nóvitas virtútum, quando Deus (quem ferre non potest mundus, neque vidére áliquis, ut vívere possit) sic ingréssus est hospítium ventris, ut córporis claustrum nescíret; sicque gestátus, ut totus Deus in eo esset; et sic exívit inde, ut esset (sicut Ezéchiel fatétur) porta omníno clausa. Unde cánitur in eísdem Cánticis de ea: Hortus conclúsus, fons signátus, emissiónes tuæ paradísus. Vere hortus deliciárum, in quo cónsita sunt univérsa florum génera, et odoraménta virtútum; sicque conclúsus, ut nésciat violári, neque corrúmpi ullis insidiárum fráudibus. Fons ítaque signátus sigíllo totíus Trinitátis.

Not unjustly then is she bidden to come from Lebanon, for Lebanon is so named on account of its stainless and glistening whiteness. The earthly Lebanon is white with snow, but the lonely heights of Mary's holiness are white with purity and grace, brilliantly fair, whiter far than snow, sparkling with the gifts of the Holy Ghost she is undefiled like a dove, all clean, all upright, full of grace and truth. She is full of mercy, and of the righteousness that hath looked down from heaven, and therefore is she without stain because in her hath never been any corruption. She hath compassed a man in her womb, saith holy Jeremiah, but she conceived not by the will of fallen man. The Lord, saith the Prophet, hath created a new thing in the earth; a woman shall compass a man. xxxi. 22. Verily, it is a new thing. Verily, it was a new work of power, greater than all other works, when God, Whom the world cannot bear, and Whom no man shall see and live, entered the lodging of her womb, breaking not the blissful cloister of her virgin flesh. And in her body He was borne, the Infinite inclosed within her womb. And from her womb He came forth, so that it was fulfilled which was spoken of the Prophet Ezekiel, saying: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. xliv. 2. Hence also in the Song of Songs it is said of her iv. 12,: A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse, a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed, thy perfumes are a garden of delights. Verily a garden of delights, filled with the perfumes of all flowers, rich with the sweet savour of grace. And the most holy Virgin herself is a garden enclosed, whereinto sin and Satan have never entered to sully the blossoms, a fountain sealed, sealed with the seal of the Trinity.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Nihil inquinátum in eam incúrrit:

℟. No defiled thing can fall into her;

* Candor est lucis ætérnæ et spéculum sine mácula.

* She is the brightness of the everlasting light, and the unspotted mirror of the power of God.

℣. Est enim hæc speciósior sole, et luci comparáta invenítur púrior.

Ex Actis Pii Papæ noni

From the acts of Pope Pius IX

Deíparæ autem Vírginis in sua Conceptióne de tetérrimo humáni géneris hoste victóriam, quam divína elóquia, veneránda tradítio, perpétuus Ecclésiæ sensus, singuláris episcopórum ac fidélium conspirátio, insígnia quoque summórum Pontíficum acta atque constitutiónes mirífice iam illustrábant, Pius nonus Póntifex máximus totíus Ecclésiæ votis ánnuens státuit suprémo suo atque infallíbili oráculo solémniter proclamáre. Itaque sexto idus decémbris anni millésimi octingentésimi quinquagésimi quarti in basílica Vaticána, ingénti sanctæ Románæ Ecclésiæ patrum cardinálium et Episcopórum ex díssitis étiam regiónibus astánte cœtu, universóque plaudénte orbe, solémniter pronuntiávit et definívit: Doctrínam quæ tenet beatíssimam Vírginem Maríam in primo instánti suæ Conceptiónis fuísse, singulári Dei privilégio, ab omni originális culpæ labe præservátam immúnem, esse a Deo revelátam, ac proínde ab ómnibus fidélibus fírmiter constantérque credéndam.

The fact that the Virgin Mother of God had at the moment of her conception triumphed over the foul enemy of man, hath ever been borne out by the Holy Scriptures, by the venerable tradition of the Church, and by her unceasing belief, as well as by the common conviction of all Bishops and faithful Catholics, and by marked acts and constitutions of the Holy See. At length the Supreme Pontiff Pius IX, in compliance with the wishes of the Universal Church, determined to publish it as a truth of faith, on his own absolute and unerring authority, and accordingly, on the 8th day of December, 1854, in the Vatican Basilica, in presence of a great multitude composed of the Fathers Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, and Bishops from all parts of the earth, he, with the consent and jubilation of the whole world, declared and defined as follows That doctrine which declareth that the most Blessed Virgin Mary was in the first instant of her Conception preserved, by a special privilege granted unto her by God, from any stain of original sin, is a doctrine taught and revealed by God, and therefore is to be held by all faithful Christians firmly and constantly.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. There appeared a great wonder in heaven; a Woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet

* Et in cápite eius coróna stellárum duódecim.

* And upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

℣. Induit eam Dóminus vestiméntis salútis, induménto iustítiæ, et quasi sponsam ornávit eam monílibus suis.

℣. The Lord hath clothed her with the garments of salvation, and hath covered her with the robe of righteousness, yea, as a bride He hath adorned her with jewels.

℟. Et in cápite eius coróna stellárum duódecim.

℟. And upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Hail, thou living garden of Eden, planted towards the East by the right hand of the Most Merciful and Mighty God, wherein do grow to His glory rich lilies and unfading roses, for the healing of them that have drunk in death from the blighting and pestilential breezes of the bitter West, Gen. ii. 8, 9; Eden, wherein hath sprung that Tree of life, Whereof if any man eat he shall live for ever. Gen. ii. 9; iii. 22. John vi. 52. Hail, stately Palace of the King, most holy, stainless, purest, House of the Most High God, adorned with His Royal splendour, open to all, filled with Kingly dainties; Palace wherein is that spiritual bridal chamber, not made with hands, nor hung with diverse colours, in the which the Eternal Word, when He would raise up fallen man, wedded flesh unto Himself, that He might reconcile unto the Father them who had cast themselves away.

Behold, this is thine own city, which hath thee for her towers and her foundations, crown her with victory, gird the house of God with strength, keep undefiled the loveliness of His tabernacles, as for them that praise thy name, be thou their deliverer from strife and bitterness of spirit. Free thou the prisoner, protect the wanderer, and if there be any that hath no refuge, be thou to him a consolation. Stretch forth thine hand and help the whole earth so shall we year by year keep this and all thy feasts, and at last be found with thee in Christ Jesus, Who is Lord of all, and verily our God. To Him, with the Holy Father, Who is the Fountain of Life, and the coeternal Spirit, Three Persons and One Substance, even as there is one Kingdom, be glory and strength, now and for ever. Amen.

51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.

51:4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

51:9 Sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum: * et præváluit in vanitáte sua.

51:9 But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.

51:10 Ego autem, sicut olíva fructífera in domo Dei, * sperávi in misericórdia Dei in ætérnum: et in sǽculum sǽculi.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

Upon the same day the holy martyrs Carpophorus the Priest, and Abundius the Deacon. In the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian they were first most cruelly cudgelled and recommitted to prison, where they were denied food and drink, then they were racked, and suffered long imprisonment, and lastly were beheaded, (in the year 303.)

54:18 Véspere, et mane, et merídie narrábo et annuntiábo: * et exáudiet vocem meam.

54:18 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: * and he shall hear my voice.

54:21 They have defiled his covenant, they are divided by the wrath of his countenance, * and his heart hath drawn near.

54:22 Mollíti sunt sermónes eius super óleum: * et ipsi sunt iácula.

Celestial Word, to this our earth

E Patris ætérni sinu,

Sent down from God's eternal clime,

Qui natus orbi súbvenis,

To save mankind by mortal birth

Labénte cursu témporis:

Into a world of change and time;

Illúmina nunc péctora,

Enlighten our hearts; vain hopes destroy;

Tuóque amóre cóncrema;

And in thy love's consuming fire

Ut cor cadúca déserens

Fill all the soul with heavenly joy,

Cæli volúptas ímpleat.

And melt the dross of low desire.

Ut, cum tribúnal Iúdicis

So when the Judge of quick and dead

Damnábit igni nóxios,

Shall bid his awful summons come,

Et vox amíca débitum

To whelm the guilty soul with dread,

Vocábit ad cælum pios;

And call the blessed to their home.

Non esca flammárum nigros

Saved from the whirling, black abyss,

Volvámur inter túrbines,

Forevermore to us be given

Vultu Dei sed cómpotes

To share the feast of saintly bliss,

Cæli fruámur gáudiis.

And see the face of God in heaven.

Patri, simúlque Fílio,

To God the Father and the Son

Tibíque, Sancte Spíritus,

Our songs with one accord we raise;

Sicut fuit, sit iúgiter

And to the Holy Spirit, One

Sæclum per omne glória.

With them, be ever equal praise

Amen.

72:2 Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes: * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei.

72:2 But my feet were almost moved; * my steps had wellnigh slipped.

72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.

72:3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.

72:4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.

72:4 For there is no regard to their death, * nor is there strength in their stripes.

72:5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:

72:5 They are not in the labour of men: * neither shall they be scourged like other men.

72:6 Ídeo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.

72:6 Therefore pride hath held them fast: * they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.

72:7 Pródiit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum: * transiérunt in afféctum cordis.

72:7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: * they have passed into the affection of the heart.

72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?

72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.

72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa iustificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:

72:18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up, thou hast cast them down.

72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.

72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.

72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.

72:20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.

72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.

72:21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.

72:23 Ut iuméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

Isa 24:1-3

Isa 24:1-3

1 Ecce Dóminus dissipábit terram, et nudábit eam, et afflíget fáciem eius, et dispérget habitatóres eius.

1 Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2 Et erit sicut pópulus, sic sacérdos: et sicut servus, sic dóminus eius: sicut ancílla, sic dómina eius: sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit: sicut fœnerátor, sic is qui mútuum áccipit: sicut qui répetit, sic qui debet.

2 And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest: and as with the servant, so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth.

3 Dissipatióne dissipábitur terra, et direptióne prædábitur. Dóminus enim locútus est verbum hoc.

3 With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.

Isa 24:4-6

Isa 24:4-6

4 Luxit et deflúxit terra, et infirmáta est: deflúxit orbis, infirmáta est altitúdo pópuli terræ.

4 The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.

5 Et terra infécta est ab habitatóribus suis: quia transgréssi sunt leges, mutavérunt ius, dissipavérunt fœdus sempitérnum.

5 And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Propter hoc maledíctio vorábit terram, et peccábunt habitatóres eius: ideóque insánient cultóres eius, et relinquéntur hómines pauci.

6 Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.

Isa 24:7-16

Isa 24:7-16

7 Luxit vindémia, infirmáta est vitis, ingemuérunt omnes qui lætabántur corde.

7 The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.

8 Cessávit gáudium tympanórum, quiévit sónitus lætántium, contícuit dulcédo cítharæ.

8 The mirth of timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent.

9 Cum cántico non bibent vinum, amára erit pótio bibéntibus illam.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10 Attríta est cívitas vanitátis, clausa est omnis domus, nullo introëúnte.

10 The city of vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh in.

11 Clamor erit super vino in platéis: desérta est omnis lætítia: translátum est gáudium terræ.

11 There shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away.

12 Relícta est in urbe solitudo, et calámitas ópprimet portas.

12 Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.

13 Quia hæc erunt in médio terræ, in médio populórum: quómodo si paucæ olívæ, quæ remansérunt, excutiántur ex ólea: et racémi, cum fúerit fínita vindémia.

13 For it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended.

14 Hi levábunt vocem suam, atque laudábunt: cum glorificátus fúerit Dóminus, hínnient de mari.

14 These shall lift up their voice, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise from the sea.

15 Propter hoc in doctrínis glorificáte Dóminum, in ínsulis maris nomen Dómini Dei Israël.

15 Therefore glorify ye the Lord in instruction: the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the sea.

16 A fínibus terræ laudes audívimus, glóriam iusti.

℟. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon thy mountains, O Jerusalem thou shalt sing for joy, for the day of the Lord cometh; arise, O Zion, and turn unto the Lord thy God; rejoice and be glad, O Jacob.

Dámasus Hispánus, vir egrégius et erudítus in Scriptúris sacris, indícto primo Constantinopolitáno concílio, nefáriam Eunómii et Macedónii hǽresim exstínxit. Ariminénsem convéntum, a Libério iam ante reiéctum, íterum condemnávit; in quo, ut scribit sanctus Hierónymus, Valéntis potíssimum et Ursácii fráudibus, damnátio Nicǽnæ fídei conclamáta est. Basílicas duas ædificávit: álteram sancti Lauréntii nómine ad theátrum Pompéii, álteram via Ardeatína ad Catacúmbas. Státuit, ut, quod plúribus iam locis erat in usu, Psalmi per omnes ecclésias diu noctúque ab altérnis caneréntur, et in fine cuiúsque Psalmi dicerétur: Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Eius iussu sanctus Hierónymus novum testaméntum Græcæ fídei réddidit. Multa étiam sanctórum Mártyrum córpora invénit, eorúmque memórias vérsibus exornávit. Virtúte, doctrína et prudéntia clarus, prope octogenárius, Theodósio senióre imperánte, obdormívit in Dómino.

Damasus was a Spaniard of great eminence and learned in the Sacred Scriptures. He called the first Council of Constantinople, in which he abolished the evil heresy of Eunomius and Macedonius. He repeated the condemnation, already pronounced by Liberius, of the Council of Rimini. A proclamation of that council, chiefly due, as writeth St. Jerome, to the intrigues of Valens and Ursacius, had condemned the faith of Nicea. Damasus built two basilicas: one dedicated to St. Lawrence near the theatre of Pompey, the other on the Ardeatine Way at the Catacombs. He decreed that, as was already the custom in many places, Psalms should be sung day and night in all churches by alternate choirs, and that at the end of each Psalm should be repeated the words: “Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.” It was at his command that St. Jerome revised the translation of the New Testament to make it faithful to the Greek text. He discovered many bodies of holy Martyrs and celebrated their memory in verses. When he was nearly eighty years old and famous for his virtue, learning and prudence, he fell asleep in the Lord, during the reign of Theodosius the Great.

Sanctus vero Epímachus, simul cum sancto Gordiáno Mártyre, festíva celebritáte cólitur sexto Idus Maii.

At Rome, the holy martyr Synesius, who was ordained a Reader in the time of the blessed Pope Xystus, and converted many to Christ he was accused before the Emperor Aurelian, and received the crown of martyrdom by being beheaded, (in the year 270.)

Likewise at Alexandria, the holy women Ammonaria the Virgin, Mercuria, Dionysia, and another called also Ammonaria. In the aforesaid persecution under the Emperor Decius, the first of these died a blessed death by the sword, after overcoming torments unheard of. The judge was ashamed to be conquered by women, and shrank from causing the application to them of the same tortures as to the first, and so conquered by their steadfastness, ordered them to be beheaded, (in the year 250.)

Tréviris sanctórum Mártyrum Maxéntii, Constántii, Crescéntii, Iustíni et Sociórum; qui in persecutióne Diocletiáni, sub Rictiováro Prǽside, passi sunt.

On the same day, the holy martyrs Hermogenes, Donatus, and twenty-two others.

At Trier, (in the fourth century,) under the President Rictiovarus, in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian, suffered the holy martyrs Maxentius, Constantius, Crescentius, Justinus, and their Companions.

December 13th 2026, the 4th day of the Moon,

Syracúsis, in Sicília, natális sanctæ Lúciæ, Vírginis et Mártyris, in persecutióne Diocletiáni. Hæc nóbilis Virgo, cum eam lenónes, quibus, iubénte Paschásio Consulári, trádita erat ut a pópulo castitáti eius illuderétur, dúcere vellent, nullátenus per illos movéri pótuit, nec fúnibus ádditis, nec boum iugis plúrimis; deínde vero, picem, resínam ac fervens óleum nil læsa súperans, tandem, gládio in gútture percússa, martýrium consummávit.

Sacrum eius corpus Annésium, in Sabáudia, translátum fuit, et solémni pompa in prima sui Ordinis Ecclésia tumulátum. Ipsíus autem festum duodécimo Kaléndas Septémbris ab univérsa Ecclésia Clemens Papa Décimus quartus celebrári mandávit.

In Arménia pássio sanctórum Mártyrum Eustrátii, Auxéntii, Eugénii, Mardárii et Oréstis, in persecutióne Diocletiáni. Ex ipsis Eustrátius, primum sub Lýsia, deínde Sebáste, sub Agricoláo Prǽside, una cum Oréste exquisítis torméntis cruciátus, in fornácem missus réddidit spíritum; Oréstes autem, in stratum férreum ignítum pósitus, migrávit ad Dóminum; céteri apud Arábracos, sævíssimis agitáti supplíciis, sub Lýsia Prǽside, diversímode martýrium consummárunt. Eórum córpora, póstea Romam transláta, in Ecclésia sancti Apollináris honorífice collocáta sunt.

At Syracuse, in Sicily, in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian, the holy Virgin and martyr Lucy. By command of Paschasius the Consular she was handed over to panders to make a public mock of her chastity, but when they would have led her away they could not move her even with ropes, and not even when these were drawn by many yoke of oxen then they poured upon her boiling pitch, rosin, and oil but these did not hurt her, and at length she was smitten in the neck with a sword, and so finished her testimony, (in the year 303.)

In Sulcitána ínsula, apud Sardíniam, pássio sancti Antíochi, sub Hadriáno Imperatóre.

In Armenia, in the same persecution under the Emperor Diocletian, the holy martyrs Eustratius, Auxentius, Eugenius, Mardarius, and Orestes. Eustratius was first put to dreadful torments under Lysias, and afterwards to the like at Sebaste, along with Orestes, under the President Agricolaus, and was then cast into a furnace, wherein he gave up the ghost. Orestes was laid upon an iron bed heated with fire, and so passed away to be ever with the Lord. The others finished their testimony in diverse ways in the country of the Arabraci, after enduring most cruel sufferings under the President Lysias. Their bodies were afterwards brought to Rome and honourably buried in the church of St. Apollinaris.

℟. Deo grátias.

At Moulins, in Gaul, the holy widow Jeane Frances Fremiot de Chantal, (1572-1641,) foundress of the Congregation of Nuns of the Visitation of St. Mary. She was eminent by her noble birth, by the holiness of her life, which she sanctified unceasingly in the four different states of maiden, wife, widow, and nun, and by the grace of working miracles, and Clement XIII enrolled her name among those of the Saints. Her sacred body was translated to Annecy, in Savoy, and there entombed with solemn pomp in the first church of their order.

Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

7 The way of the just is right, the path of the just is right to walk in.

8 Et in sémita iudiciórum tuórum, Dómine, sustinúimus te: nomen tuum, et memoriále tuum in desidério ánimæ.

8 And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we have patiently waited for thee: thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul.

9 Anima mea desiderávit te in nocte, sed et spíritu meo in præcórdiis meis de mane vigilábo ad te. Cum féceris iudícia tua in terra, iustítiam discent habitatóres orbis.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

From the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 1:19-28

John 1:19-28

In illo témpore: Misérunt Iudǽi ab Ierosólymis sacerdótes et levítas ad Ioánnem, ut interrogárent eum: Tu quis es? Et réliqua.

In that time were sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites to John, to ask him: Who art thou? And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory (the Great)

Homilia 7 in Evangelia

7th on the Gospels

Ex huius nobis lectiónis verbis, fratres caríssimi, Ioánnis humílitas commendátur: qui cum tantæ virtútis esset, ut Christus credi potuísset, elégit sólide subsístere in se, ne humána opinióne raperétur inániter super se. Nam conféssus est, et non negávit: et conféssus est, Quia non sum ego Christus. Sed qui dixit, Non sum; negávit plane quod non erat, sed non negávit quod erat: ut veritátem loquens, eius membrum fíeret, cuius sibi nomen falláciter non usurpáret. Cum ergo non vult appétere nomen Christi, factus est membrum Christi: quia dum infirmitátem suam stúduit humíliter agnóscere, illíus celsitúdinem méruit veráciter obtinére.

Dearly beloved brethren, the first thing which striketh us in today's Gospel is the lowly-mindedness of John. He was so great that it was thought he might be the Christ; yet he soberly chose rather to seem only what he really was, than to let the belief of men invest him with a dignity which did not belong to him; for he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Christ, at the same time he would not deny what he was in reality; and thus his very truth-speaking made him a member of Him Whose title he would not by falsehood take. In that he arrogated not to himself the name of Christ, he became a member of Christ. While he humbly strove to confess his own weakness, he earned by his simplicity a part in the grandeur of his Master.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Docébit nos Dóminus vias suas, et ambulábimus in sémitis eius:

℟. The Lord will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.

* Quia de Sion exíbit lex, et verbum Dómini de Ierúsalem.

* For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

℣. Veníte, ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Iacob.

℟. Quia de Sion exíbit lex, et verbum Dómini de Ierúsalem.

Isa 28:4-7

4 Et erit flos décidens glóriæ exsultatiónis eius, qui est super vérticem vallis pínguium, quasi temporáneum ante maturitátem autúmni: quod cum aspéxerit videns, statim ut manu tenúerit, devorábit illud.

4 And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.

5 In die illa erit Dóminus exercítuum coróna glóriæ, et sertum exsultatiónis resíduo pópuli sui;

5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:

6 Et spíritus iudícii sedénti super iudícium, et fortitúdo reverténtibus de bello ad portam.

6 And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.

7 Verum hi quoque præ vino nesciérunt, et præ ebrietáte erravérunt: sacérdos et prophéta nesciérunt præ ebrietáte, absórpti sunt a vino.

7 But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.

(He was born about the year 315 and died about the year 371 or 375.)

Ibídem sancti Valeriáni Epíscopi, qui, cum esset annórum plus octogínta, in persecutióne Wandálica, sub Rege Ariáno Genseríco, convéntus ab eo ut tráderet Ecclésiæ utensília, idque constánter renuísset, extra civitátem singuláris iussus est pelli; cumque præcéptum esset ut nullus eum neque in domo neque in agro dimítteret habitáre, multo témpore in strata pública nudo sub áere iácuit, et, in confessióne et defensióne cathólicæ veritátis, cursum beátæ vitæ complévit.

Likewise in Africa, holy Valerian, Bishop (of Abbenze.) When he was more than eighty years of age the Arian king Genseric, during the Vandal persecution, sought to make him consent to give up the vessels of the church, and because he steadfastly refused so to do, he caused him to be thrust out of the city alone, and since it was forbidden to any man to allow him to come into his house or to dwell in his field, he lay a long time in the open air on the public highway, and finished the course of his blessed life, (in the year 457,) in the profession and defense of Catholic truth.

℣. Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.

In the country of Orleans, the holy Confessor Maximin, (2nd Abbot of Michy, in the Diocese of Orleans about the year 520.)

36:30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: * and his tongue shall speak judgment.

36:31 Lex Dei eius in corde ipsíus, * et non supplantabúntur gressus eius.

36:31 The law of his God is in his heart, * and his steps shall not be supplanted.

36:32 Consíderat peccátor iustum: * et quærit mortificáre eum.

36:32 The wicked watcheth the just man, * and seeketh to put him to death.

36:33 Dóminus autem non derelínquet eum in mánibus eius: * nec damnábit eum, cum iudicábitur illi.

36:33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands; * nor condemn him when he shall be judged.

36:34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: * when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.

Isa 38:10-24

Isa 38:10-23

38:10 Ego dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum * vadam ad portas ínferi.

38:10 I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go to the gates of hell:

38:11 Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.

38:11 I sought for the residue of my years. * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.

38:12 Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, * et habitatórem quiétis.

38:12 I shall behold man no more, * nor the inhabitant of rest.

38:13 Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, * quasi tabernáculum pastórum.

38:13 My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, * as a shepherd’s tent.

38:14 Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: * de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.

38:14 My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

38:15 Sperábam usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea:

38:15 I hoped till morning, * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:

38:16 De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: * sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba:

38:16 From morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. * I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:

38:17 Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, * suspiciéntes in excélsum.

38:17 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:

38:18 Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?

38:18 Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?

38:19 Recogitábo tibi omnes annos meos * in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ.

38:19 I will recount to thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.

38:20 O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:

38:21 But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, * thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

38:22 Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, neque mors laudábit te: * non exspectábunt qui descéndunt in lacum, veritátem tuam.

38:22 For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: * nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.

43:2 We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,

43:2 Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.

43:2 The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.

43:3 Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.

43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

43:4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et brácchium eórum non salvávit eos:

43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

43:4 Sed déxtera tua, et brácchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

43:4 But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.

48:20 Introíbit usque in progénies patrum suórum: * et usque in ætérnum non vidébit lumen.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 1:26-38

Luke 1:26-38

In illo témpore: Missus est Angelus Gábriel a Deo in civitátem Galilǽæ, cui nomen Názareth, ad Vírginem desponsátam viro, cui nomen erat Ioseph, de domo David, et nomen Vírginis María. Et réliqua.

At that time the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Liber 2 in Lucam

Bk. ii on Luke

Latent quidem divína mystéria, nec fácile, iuxta prophéticum dictum, quisquam hóminum potest scire consílium Dei. Sed tamen ex céteris factis, atque præcéptis Dómini Salvatóris póssumus intellégere, et hoc propensióris fuísse consílii, quod ea potíssimum elécta est, ut Dóminum páreret, quæ erat desponsáta viro. Cur autem non ántequam desponsarétur, impléta est? Fortásse ne dicerétur quod concéperat ex adultério.

The mysteries of God are unsearchable, and it is especially declared by a Prophet, that a man can hardly know His counsels. Wisd. ix. 13. Nevertheless, some things have been revealed to us, and we may gather from some of the words and works of the Lord our Saviour, that there was a special purpose of God, in the fact that she who was chosen to be the mother of the Lord was espoused to a man. Why did not the power of the Highest overshadow her before she was so espoused? Perhaps it was lest any might blasphemously say that she had conceived in fornication the Holy One.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Clama in fortitúdine, qui annúntias pacem in Ierúsalem:

℟. O thou that bringest good tidings of peace to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength!

* Dic civitátibus Iudæ, et habitatóribus Sion: Ecce Deus noster, quem exspectábimus, advéniet.

* Say unto the cities of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Behold, our God will come, for Whom we waited.

℣. Supra montem excélsum ascénde tu, qui evangelízas Sion, exálta in fortitúdine vocem tuam.

℣. O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain, lift up thy voice with strength.

℟. Dic civitátibus Iudæ, et habitatóribus Sion: Ecce Deus noster, quem exspectábimus, advéniet.

℟. Say unto the cities of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Behold, our God will come, for Whom we waited.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Et ingréssus ad eam Angelus. Disce vírginem móribus, disce vírginem verecúndia, disce oráculo, disce mystério. Trepidáre vírginum est, et ad omnes viri affátus veréri. Discant mulíeres propósitum pudóris imitári. Sola in penetrálibus, quam nemo virórum víderit, solus Angelus repérerit: sola sine cómite, sola sine teste, ne quo degénere depravarétur affátu, ab Angelo salutátur.

And the angel came in unto her. Let us learn from this Virgin how to bear ourselves, let us learn her modesty, let us learn by her devout utterance, above all let us learn by the holy mystery enacted. It is the part of a maiden to be timid, to avoid the advances of men, and to shrink from men's addresses. Would that our women would learn from the example of modesty here set before us. She upon whom the stare of men had never been fixed was alone in her chamber, and was found only by an angel. There was neither companion nor witness there, that what passed might not be debased in gossip and the angel saluted her.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Oriétur stella ex Iacob, et exsúrget homo de Israël, et confrínget omnes duces alienigenárum:

℟. There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Man shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through all the princes of the aliens.

* Et erit omnis terra posséssio eius.

* And all the earth shall be His possession.

℣. Adorábunt eum omnes reges terræ, omnes gentes sérvient ei.

℣. All kings shall fall down before Him, all nations shall serve Him.

℟. Et erit omnis terra posséssio eius.

℟. And all the earth shall be His possession.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Tanti namque mandáti mystérium non hóminis fuit, sed Angeli ore proméndum. Hódie primum audítur: Spíritus Sanctus supervéniet in te. Et audítur, et créditur. Dénique, Ecce, inquit, ancílla Dómini: contíngat mihi secúndum verbum tuum. Vide humilitátem, vide devotiónem. Ancíllam se dicit Dómini, quæ mater elígitur: nec repentíno exaltáta promísso est.

The message of God to the Virgin was a mystery, which it was not lawful for the mouth of men, but only of angels, to utter. For the first time on earth the words are spoken The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee. The holy maiden heareth, and believeth. At length she saith Behold the handmaid of the Lord be it unto me according to thy word. Here is an example of lowliness, here is a pattern of true devotion. At the very moment that she is told she is chosen to be the mother of the Lord she at once declareth herself His handmaid. The knowledge that she was Mother of God caused in the heart of Mary only an act of humility.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

Psalm 51 [2]

51:3 Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es in iniquitáte?

51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.

51:4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

51:6 Dilexísti ómnia verba præcipitatiónis, * lingua dolósa.

51:6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.

51:7 Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem, * evéllet te, et emigrábit te de tabernáculo tuo: et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.

51:7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.

51:8 Vidébunt iusti, et timébunt, et super eum ridébunt, et dicent: * Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum adiutórem suum:

51:8 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: * Behold the man that made not God his helper:

51:9 Sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum: * et præváluit in vanitáte sua.

51:9 But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.

51:10 Ego autem, sicut olíva fructífera in domo Dei, * sperávi in misericórdia Dei in ætérnum: et in sǽculum sǽculi.

51:10 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, * have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.

51:11 Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti: * et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum.

52:6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.

50:6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

50:7 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.

72:2 But my feet were almost moved; * my steps had wellnigh slipped.

72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.

72:3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.

72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.

72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa iustificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:

72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.

72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

78:1 O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: * they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 1:39-47

Luke 1:39-47

In illo témpore: Exsúrgens María ábiit in montána cum festinatióne in civitátem Iuda: et intrávit in domum Zacharíæ, et salutávit Elísabeth. Et réliqua.

In that time, Mary, rising up, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop (of Milan)

Lib. 2 in Luc. cap. 1 post init.

Commentary on Luke, Bk. ii. c

Morále est ómnibus, ut qui fidem éxigunt, fidem ástruant. Et ídeo Angelus, cum abscóndita nuntiáret, ut fidem astrúeret exémplo, senióris féminæ sterilísque concéptum Vírgini Maríæ nuntiávit: ut possíbile Deo omne, quod ei placúerit, asséreret. Ubi audívit hoc María, non quasi incrédula de oráculo, nec quasi incérta de núntio, nec quasi dúbitans de exémplo, sed quasi læta pro voto, religiósa pro offício, festína pro gáudio, in montána perréxit. Quo enim iam Deo plena, nisi ad superióra cum festinatióne conténderet? Nescit tarda molímina Sancti Spíritus grátia.

When any one asketh another for credence, he is bound to give some reasonable ground. And so the Angel, when he announced to Mary the counsel of God, gave, as a proof, the conception of Elizabeth, then aged and barren, that Mary might perceive, by this example, that with God nothing is impossible. When the holy Virgin had heard it, she arose and went to visit her cousin. She did not go to see if what she had heard was true, because she did not believe God, or because she knew not who the messenger had been, or yet because she doubted the fact adduced in proof. She went joyfully as one who hath received a mercy in answer to his vow goeth to pay the same. She went with devotion, as a godly person goeth to execute a religious duty. She went into the hill country in joyful haste. And is it not something that she went up into the hills? God was already in her womb, and her feeling bore her continually upward. The grace of the Holy Spirit knoweth no slow working.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Emítte Agnum, Dómine, Dominatórem terræ,

* De Petra desérti ad montem fíliæ Sion.

* From the rock in the wilderness unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

℣. Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam, et salutáre tuum da nobis.

℣. Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.

℟. De Petra desérti ad montem fíliæ Sion.

Díscite et vos, sanctæ mulíeres, sedulitátem, quam prægnántibus debeátis exhibére cognátis. Maríam, quæ ante sola in íntimis penetrálibus versabátur, non a público virginitátis pudor, non ab stúdio aspéritas móntium, non ab offício prolíxitas itíneris retardávit. In montána Virgo cum festinatióne, Virgo offícii memor, iniúriæ ímmemor, afféctu urgénte non sexu, relícta perréxit domo. Díscite, vírgines, non circumcursáre per aliénas ædes, non demorári in platéis, non áliquos in público miscére sermónes. María in domo sera, festína in público, mansit apud cognátam suam tribus ménsibus.

Godly women will learn from the example of the Mother of God to take a tender care of their kinswomen who are with child. In pursuance of this charity, Mary, who had hitherto remained alone at home, was not deterred by her maidenly shyness from entering on a public journey; she faced for this end the hardships of mountain travelling; and encountered with a sense of duty the weary length of the way. The Virgin left her home, and went into the hill country with haste, unmindful of the trouble, and remembering only the office to which her cousinly love prompted her, in spite of the delicacy of her sex. Maidens will learn from her not to idle about from house to house, to loiter in the streets, nor to take part in conversations in public. Mary, as she was hasteful to pass through the public roads, so was she slow again to enter on them she abode with her cousin about three months.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

Didicístis, vírgines, pudórem Maríæ: díscite humilitátem. Venit propínqua ad próximam, iúnior ad seniórem: nec solum venit, sed étiam prior salutávit. Decet enim, ut quanto cástior virgo, tanto humílior sit. Nóverit deférre senióribus. Sit magístra humilitátis, in qua est proféssio castitátis. Est et causa pietátis, est étiam norma doctrínæ. Contuéndum est enim, quia supérior venit ad inferiórem, ut inférior adiuvétur: María ad Elísabeth, Christus ad Ioánnem.

As the modesty of Mary is a pattern for the imitation of all maidens, so also is her humility. She went to see Elizabeth, like one cousin going to visit another, and as the younger to the elder. Not only did she first go, but she first saluted Elizabeth. Now, the purer a virgin is, the humbler ought she to be. She will know how to submit herself to her elders. She that professeth chastity ought to be a very mistress of humility. Lowly-mindedness is at once the very ground in which devotion groweth, and the first and principal rule of its teaching. In this act of the Virgin then we see the greater going to visit and to succour the lesser: Mary to Elizabeth, Christ to John.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

50:4 Ámplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.

50:4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.

50:5 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.

50:5 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.

50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.

50:6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

50:7 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.

50:7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.

50:8 Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.

50:8 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

50:9 Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.

50:9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

50:10 Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.

50:19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

50:20 Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem.

50:20 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

50:21 Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 3:1-6

Luke 3:1-6

Anno quintodécimo impérii Tibérii Cǽsaris, procuránte Póntio Piláto Iudǽam. Et réliqua.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 20 in Evangelia

10th on the Gospels.

Redemptóris nostri Præcúrsor, quo témpore prædicatiónis offícium accéperit, memoráto Románæ reipúblicæ príncipe, et Iudǽæ régibus, designátur. Quia enim illum prædicáre veniébat, qui et ex Iudǽa quosdam, et multos ex géntibus redemptúrus erat: per regem géntium et príncipes Iudæórum prædicatiónis eius témpora designántur. Quia autem gentílitas colligénda erat, et Iudǽa pro culpa perfídiæ dispergénda, ipsa quoque descríptio terréni principátus osténdit: quóniam et in Romána república unus præfuísse descríbitur, et in Iudǽæ regno per quartam partem plúrimi principabántur.

The date, at which the Fore-runner of our Redeemer entered on his public office of preaching, is indicated to us by the name of the ruler of the Roman Commonwealth, and by those of the princes of Palestine. The time of his preaching is indicated by these names, because he came as the Fore-runner of Him Who was to be the Redeemer of some Jews and many Gentiles. Moreover in the enumeration of these worldly monarchs there is a foreshadowing of the fact, that the Gentiles were about to be gathered into one, and the Jews to be scattered abroad in punishment of their unbelief; in the whole heathen Commonwealth we find the title of one Emperor, but in the small kingdom of Judaea are mentioned four masters.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Egrediétur virga de radíce Iesse, et flos de radíce eius ascéndet:

℟. There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a flower shall grow out of his roots.

* Et erit iustítia cíngulum lumbórum eius, et fides cinctórium renum eius.

* And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

℣. Et requiéscet super eum spíritus Dómini: spíritus sapiéntiæ, et intelléctus: spíritus consílii, et fortitúdinis.

℣. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might.

℟. Et erit iustítia cíngulum lumbórum eius, et fides cinctórium renum eius.

℟. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Voce étenim nostri Redemptóris dícitur: Omne regnum in seípsum divisum desolábitur. Liquet ergo, quod ad finem regni Iudǽa pervénerat, quæ tot régibus divisa subiacébat. Apte quoque non solum quibus régibus, sed étiam quibus sacerdótibus actum sit, demonstrátur: et quia illum Ioánnes Baptísta prædicáret, qui simul Rex et Sacérdos exsísteret, Lucas Evangelísta prædicatiónis eius témpora per regnum et sacerdótium designávit.

The blessed voice of the Saviour itself hath said, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation Luke xi. 17. And we may well look for the ruin of the Jewish state when we see it divided among so many rulers. We observe likewise that the names of the reigning priests as well as kings are given. The Evangelist Luke hath left on record the chiefs both of the monarchy and of the priesthood who held office when John the Baptist began to preach, because John preached Him Who is at once our Priest and our King.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Radix Iesse, qui exsúrget iudicáre gentes, in eum gentes sperábunt:

℟. Behold, the root of Jesse that shall arise to bring forth judgment to the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.

* Et erit nomen eius benedíctum in sǽcula.

* And his name shall be blessed for ever.

℣. Super ipsum continébunt reges os suum, ipsum gentes deprecabúntur.

℣. The Kings shall shut their mouths at him, to him shall the Gentiles seek.

℟. Et erit nomen eius benedíctum in sǽcula.

℟. And his name shall be blessed for ever.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Et venit in omnem regiónem Iordánis, prǽdicans baptísmum pœniténtiæ in remissiónem peccatórum. Cunctis legéntibus liquet, quia Ioánnes non solum baptísmum pœniténtiæ prædicávit, verum étiam quibúsdam dedit: sed tamen baptísmum suum in remissiónem peccatórum dare non pótuit. Remíssio étenim peccatórum in solo nobis baptísmo Christi tribúitur. Notándum ítaque, quod dícitur: Prǽdicans baptísmum pœniténtiæ in remissiónem peccatórum: quóniam baptísmum, quod peccáta sólveret, quia dare non póterat, prædicábat: ut sicut incarnátum Verbum Patris præcurrébat verbo prædicatiónis, ita baptísmum pœniténtiæ, quo peccáta solvúntur, præcúrreret suo baptísmate, quo peccáta solvi non possunt.

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. It is evident from these words that John the Baptist not only preached, but also administered the baptism of repentance, and yet that baptism of repentance which he gave, was not really a baptism for the remission of sins. For there is only one baptism for the remission of sins, and that is our Christian baptism. It is worthy of note here that the words used are, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, for he himself owned that his baptism was not the true baptism that washes away sin. Even as the Eternal Word of God made Flesh was greater than the preacher that went before Him, so was His holy baptism, by which our sins are washed away, far greater than that baptism of repentance which the Fore-runner preached, and which could never wash away sin.

50:5 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.

50:5 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.

50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.

50:6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

50:7 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.

50:7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.

50:8 Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.

50:8 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

Martyrologium {anticip.}

Martyrology {anticip.}

Tertiodécimo Kaléndas Ianuárii Luna undécima Anno Dómini 2026

Tomorrow is the eve of the holy Apostle Thomas.

December 20th 2026, the 11th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Romæ natális sancti Zephyríni, Papæ et Mártyris. Ipsíus tamen festum recólitur séptimo Kaléndas Septémbris.

Ibídem pássio sancti Ignátii, Epíscopi et Mártyris; qui, tértius post beátum Petrum Apóstolum, Antiochénam rexit Ecclésiam. Hic, in persecutióne Traiáni, damnátus ad béstias, Romam vinctus míttitur; ibíque, circumsedénte Senátu, immaníssimis pœnárum supplíciis primo est afféctus, dehinc obiícitur leónibus, quorum déntibus præfocátus, hóstia Christi effícitur. Eius vero festívitas Kaléndis Februárii celebrátur.

At Rome, the holy martyrs Liberatus, Bajulus, Ammon, Zeno, Ptolemy, Ingenes, and Theophilus, all martyrs. They were on guard beside the judgment-seat when a certain Christian who was under the torture began to waver and was almost giving way, and they tried by signs to encourage him to hold out; for this cause all the people cried out against them, and they came forward and confessed themselves to be Christians and Christ, who Himself had given such steadfastness unto His own, did Himself most gloriously triumph in their victory, (in the year 249.)

Item Romæ sanctórum Mártyrum Liberáti et Báiuli.

At Geldube, (in Thrace,) the holy martyr Julius, (fourth century.)

In Arábia sanctórum Mártyrum Eugénii et Macárii Presbyterórum, qui a Iuliáno Apóstata, cum ipsíus impietátem arguíssent, sævíssimis plagis affécti sunt, atque in vastíssimam erémum relegáti, et gládio cæsi.

In Arabia, the holy martyrs Eugenius and Macarius, two Priests who blamed the ungodliness of the Emperor Julian the Apostate, and for that cause were most cruelly flogged and sent out into the great desert, where they were slain with the sword, (in the year 362.)

Alexandríæ sanctórum mílitum et Mártyrum Ammónis, Zenónis, Ptolemǽi, Ingenis et Theóphili; qui, tribunálibus astántes, cum quidam Christiánus, in supplíciis pósitus, trepidáret et iam prope ad negándum declináret, vultu, óculis ac nútibus illum conabántur erígere. Cumque hac de causa clamor totíus pópuli in eos prosilíret, prorumpéntes in médium se Christiános esse testáti sunt; per quorum victóriam Christus, qui suis eam animi constántiam déderat, gloriosíssime triumphávit.

At Antioch, holy Philogonius, Patriarch of the see. He was an advocate when he was called by the will of God to govern that church, and first took up the contending for the Catholic faith along with holy Bishop Alexander, and his Companions, against Arius. He fell asleep in the Lord, illustrious for good works, (in the year 322.) Holy John Chrysostom preached an eloquent sermon on his feast-day.

Géldubæ, in Germánia, sancti Iúlii Mártyris.

At Brescia, the holy Confessor Dominic, Bishop (of that see, about the year 612.)

Antiochíæ natális sancti Philogónii Epíscopi, qui, Dei nutu ex causídico ad eam Ecclésiam regéndam accersítus, advérsus Aríum, una cum sancto Alexándro Epíscopo et Sóciis, primum pro fide cathólica certámen íniit, clarúsque méritis quiévit in Dómino; cuius ánnuam festivitátem sanctus Ioánnes Chrysóstomus præcláro encómio celebrávit.

On this day is commemorated the burial in Spain of holy Dominic, Abbot of Silos, (in the diocese of Burgos, in Castile, which abbey he founded,) of the Order of St. Benedict, very famous for his miracles wrought for the liberation of captives. (He died in his monastery at Silos, on December 14, 1073.)

Bríxiæ sancti Domínici, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.

In Hispánia deposítio sancti Domínici de Sylos Abbátis, e sancti Benedícti Ordine, miráculis in captivórum liberatióne celebérrimi.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℣. Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.

℟. Deo grátias.

℣. Pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini.

℣. Precious in the sight of the Lord

℟. Mors Sanctórum eius.

℟. Is the death of his saints.

Sancta María et omnes Sancti intercédant pro nobis ad Dóminum, ut nos mereámur ab eo adiuvári et salvári, qui vivit et regnat in sǽcula sæculórum.

Holy Mary and all the Saints, intercede for us with the Lord, our God, so that we may merit His help and salvation, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 3:1-6

Luke 3:1-6

Anno quintodécimo impérii Tibérii Cǽsaris, procuránte Póntio Piláto Iudǽam. Et réliqua.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea. And so on.

De Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory (the Great)

Homilia 20 in Evangelia ante medium

20th on the Gospels

Dicébat Ioánnes ad turbas, quæ éxibant ut baptizaréntur ab eo: Genímina viperárum, quis osténdit vobis fúgere a ventúra ira? Ventúra enim ira est animadvérsio ultiónis extrémæ: quam tunc fúgere peccátor non valet, qui nunc ad laménta pœniténtiæ non recúrrit. Et notándum, quod malæ sóboles, malórum paréntum actiónem imitántes, genímina viperárum vocántur: quia per hoc quod bonis ínvident, eósque persequúntur, quod quibúsdam mala retríbuunt, quod læsiónes próximis exquírunt: quóniam in his ómnibus patrum suórum carnálium vias sequúntur, quasi venenáti fílii de venenátis paréntibus nati sunt.

John said unto the multitude, that came forth to be baptised of him: O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? The wrath to come in one sense signifieth the great vengeance of the Latter Day the sinner that repenteth not of his sin now, will have no mean whereby to flee from punishment then. Let us remark that addressing evil children copying the example of evil parents, the Baptist calleth them a generation of vipers in that they were envious at the righteous, and persecuted them; that they repaid evil for evil; that they hunted out ways of harming their neighbours, in all these things following the pattern of carnal parents, the prophet likeneth them to a venomous brood hatched from a venomous stock.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

De Epístola prima beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

1 Cor 4:1-5

1 Cor 4:1-5

1 Sic nos exístimet homo ut minístros Christi, et dispensatóres mysteriórum Dei.

1 Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.

2 Hic iam quǽritur inter dispensatóres ut fidélis quis inveniátur.

2 Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful.

3 Mihi autem pro mínimo est ut a vobis iúdicer, aut ab humáno die: sed neque meípsum iúdico.

3 But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man's day; but neither do I judge my own self.

4 Nihil enim mihi cónscius sum, sed non in hoc iustificátus sum: qui autem iúdicat me, Dóminus est.

4 For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.

5 Ítaque nolíte ante tempus iudicáre, quoadúsque véniat Dóminus: qui et illuminábit abscóndita tenebrárum, et manifestábit consília córdium: et tunc laus erit unicuíque a Deo.

5 Therefore judge not before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise from God.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in médio lupórum, dicit Dóminus:

℟. Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves, said the Lord:

* Estóte ergo prudéntes sicut serpéntes, et símplices sicut colúmbæ.

* Be ye, therefore, wise as serpents and simple as doves.

℣. Dum lucem habétis, crédite in lucem, ut fílii lucis sitis.

℣. Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light.

℟. Estóte ergo prudéntes sicut serpéntes, et símplices sicut colúmbæ.

℟. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

1 Cor 4:6-9

1 Cor 4:6-9

6 Hæc autem, fratres, transfigurávi in me et Apóllo, propter vos: ut in nobis discátis, ne supra quam scriptum est, unus advérsus álterum inflétur pro álio.

6 But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.

7 Quis enim te discérnit? Quid autem habes quod non accepísti? Si autem accepísti, quid gloriáris quasi non accéperis?

7 For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

8 Iam saturáti estis, iam dívites facti estis: sine nobis regnátis: et útinam regnétis, ut et nos vobíscum regnémus.

8 You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

9 Puto enim quod Deus nos Apóstolos novíssimos osténdit, tamquam morti destinátos: quia spectáculum facti sumus mundo, et Ángelis, et homínibus.

9 For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tóllite iugum meum super vos, dicit Dóminus, et díscite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde:

℟. Take up my yoke upon you, said the Lord, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart.

* Iugum enim meum suáve est, et onus meum leve.

* For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

℣. Et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris.

1 Cor 4:10-15

10 Nos stulti propter Christum, vos autem prudéntes in Christo: nos infírmi, vos autem fortes: vos nóbiles, nos autem ignóbiles.

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour.

11 Usque in hanc horam et esurímus, et sitímus, et nudi sumus, et cólaphis cǽdimur, et instábiles sumus,

11 Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;

12 Et laborámus operántes mánibus nostris: maledícimur, et benedícimus: persecutiónem pátimur, et sustinémus:

12 And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.

13 Blasphemámur, et obsecrámus: tamquam purgaménta huius mundi facti sumus, ómnium peripséma usque adhuc.

13 We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.

14 Non ut confúndam vos, hæc scribo, sed ut fílios meos caríssimos móneo.

14 I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.

15 Nam si decem míllia pædagogórum habeátis in Christo, sed non multos patres, nam in Christo Iesu per Evangélium ego vos génui.

15 For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.

Thomas Apóstolus, qui et Dídymus, Galilǽus, post accéptum Spíritum Sanctum in multas províncias proféctus est ad prædicándum Christi Evangélium: Parthis, Medis, Persis, Hyrcánis et Bactris christiánæ fídei et vitæ præcépta trádidit. Postrémo ad Indos se cónferens, eos in christiána religióne erudívit. Qui ad extrémum, vitæ doctrinǽque sanctitáte et miraculórum magnitúdine, cum céteris ómnibus sui admiratiónem et Iesu Christi amórem commovísset; illíus gentis regem, idolórum cultórem, magis ad iram accéndit: cuius senténtia condemnátus, telísque confóssus, Calamínæ apostolátus honórem martýrii coróna decorávit.

The Apostle Thomas, called Didymus, or the Twin, was a Galilean. After the descent of the Holy Ghost, he went into many provinces to preach Christ's Gospel. He gave knowledge of the rules of Christian faith and life to the Parthians, Medes, Persians, Hyrcanians, and Bactrians. He went last to the East Indies. Here he provoked the anger of one of the idolatrous kings, because the holiness of his life and teaching, and the number of his miracles, drew many after him, and brought them to the love of Christ Jesus. He was therefore condemned, and slain with lances. He crowned the dignity of the Apostleship with the glory of martyrdom, on the Coromandel coast, not far from Madras.

Sermo sancti Gregórii Papæ

Sermon of St. Gregory, Pope

Homilia 30 in Evangelia, post medium

Sermon 30 on the Gospels

Scriptum est: Spíritus Dómini ornávit cælos. Ornaménta enim cælórum sunt virtútes prædicántium. Quæ vidélicet ornaménta Paulus enúmerat, dicens: Álii datur per Spíritum sermo sapiéntiæ, álii sermo sciéntiæ secúndum eúndem Spíritum, álteri fides in eódem Spíritu, álii grátia sanitátum in uno Spíritu, álii operátio virtútum, álii prophetía, álii discrétio spirítuum, álii génera linguárum, álii interpretátio sermónum. Hæc autem ómnia operátur unus atque idem Spíritus, dívidens síngulis prout vult.

It is written: By His Spirit the Lord hath adorned the heavens. Job xxvi. 13. Now the ornament of the heavens are the godly powers of preachers, and this ornament, what it is, Paul teacheth us thus To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another diverse kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will. 1 Cor. xii. 8.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Beáti estis, cum maledíxerint vobis hómines, et persecúti vos fúerint, et díxerint omne malum advérsum vos, mentiéntes, propter me:

℟. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake;

* Gaudéte et exsultáte, quóniam merces vestra copiósa est in cælis.

* Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven.

℣. Cum vos óderint hómines, et cum separáverint vos, et exprobráverint, et eiécerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Fílium hóminis.

℣. When men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

℟. Gaudéte et exsultáte, quóniam merces vestra copiósa est in cælis.

℟. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Lectio 6

Reading 6

Quot ergo sunt bona prædicántium, tot sunt ornaménta cælórum. Hinc rursus scriptum est: Verbo Dómini cæli firmáti sunt. Verbum enim Dómini Fílius est Patris. Sed eósdem cælos, vidélicet sanctos Apóstolos, ut tota simul sancta Trínitas ostendátur operáta, repénte de Sancti Spíritus divinitáte adiúngitur: Et Spíritu oris eius omnis virtus eórum. Cælórum ergo virtus de Spíritu sumpta est: quia mundi huius potestátibus contraíre non præsúmerent, nisi eos Sancti Spíritus fortitúdo solidásset. Quales namque doctóres sanctæ Ecclésiæ ante advéntum huius Spíritus fúerint, scimus: et post advéntum illíus, cuius fortitúdinis facti sint, conspícimus.

So much power then as have preachers, so much ornament have the heavens. Wherefore again it is written By the word of the Lord were the heavens made.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Ps. xxxii. 6. For the Word of the Lord is the Son of the Father. But, to the end that all the Holy Trinity may be made manifest as the Maker of the heavens, that is, of the Apostles, it is straightway added touching God the Holy Ghost: you and all the host of them by the Breath of His mouth. Therefore the might of the same heavens is the might of the Spirit, for they had not braved the powers of this world, unless the strength of the Holy Ghost had comforted them. For we know what manner of men the Teachers of the Holy Church were before the coming of this Spirit and since He came we see in Whose strength they are made strong.

℟. Deo grátias.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Isti sunt triumphatóres et amíci Dei, qui contemnéntes iussa príncipum, meruérunt prǽmia ætérna:

* Modo coronántur, et accípiunt palmam.

℟. These are they which have conquered, and are become the friends of God, who recked not of the commandments of princes, and earned the everlasting reward.

℣. Isti sunt qui venérunt ex magna tribulatióne, et lavérunt stolas suas in sánguine Agni.

* And now have they crowns on their heads, and palms in their hands.

℟. Modo coronántur, et accípiunt palmam.

℣. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℟. And now have they crowns on their heads, and palms in their hands.

℟. Modo coronántur, et accípiunt palmam.

℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

℟. And now have they crowns on their heads, and palms in their hands.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

From the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 20:24-29

John 20:24-29

In illo témpore: Thomas, unus ex duódecim, qui dícitur Dídymus, non erat cum eis, quando venit Iesus. Et réliqua.

In that time, Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 26 in Evang., post med.

26th on the Gospels

Quid, fratres caríssimi, quid inter hæc animadvértitis? Numquid casu gestum créditis, ut eléctus ille discípulus tunc deésset, post autem véniens audíret, áudiens dubitáret, dúbitans palpáret, palpans créderet? Non hoc casu, sed divína dispensatióne gestum est. Egit namque miro modo supérna cleméntia, ut discípulus ille dúbitans, dum in magístro suo vúlnera palpáret carnis, in nobis vúlnera sanáret infidelitátis. Plus enim nobis Thomæ infidélitas ad fidem, quam fides credéntium discipulórum prófuit; quia dum ille ad fidem palpándo redúcitur, nostra mens, omni dubitatióne postpósita, in fide solidátur.

Dearly beloved brethren, what is it in this passage which particularly claimeth our attention? Think ye that it was by accident that this chosen Apostle was not with them when Jesus came? or, when he came, heard? or, when he heard, doubted? or, when he doubted, felt? or when he had felt, believed? All these things were not accidental, but Providential. It was a wonderful provision of Divine mercy, that this incredulous disciple, by thrusting his fingers into the bodily Wounds of his Master, should apply a remedy to the spiritual wounds of unbelief in our souls. The doubts of Thomas have done us more good than the faith of all the disciples that believed. While he feeleth his way to faith, our minds are freed from doubt, and settled in faith.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Isti sunt qui vivéntes in carne, plantavérunt Ecclésiam sánguine suo:

℟. These are they who while yet they lived in the flesh, planted the Church in their own blood;

* Cálicem Dómini bibérunt, et amíci Dei facti sunt.

* They drank of the Lord's cup, and became the friends of God.

℣. In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.

℣. Their sound is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

℟. Cálicem Dómini bibérunt, et amíci Dei facti sunt.

℟. They drank of the Lord's cup, and became the friends of God.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Cuius festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Sic quippe discípulum Dóminus post resurrectiónem suam dubitáre permísit, nec tamen in dubitatióne deséruit; sicut ante nativitátem suam habére Maríam sponsum vóluit, qui tamen ad eius núptias non pervénit. Nam ita factus est discípulus dúbitans et palpans, testis veræ resurrectiónis, sicut sponsus matris fúerat custos integérrimæ virginitátis. Palpávit autem, et exclamávit: Dóminus meus, et Deus meus. Dicit ei Iesus: Quia vidísti me, credidísti. Cum Paulus Apóstolus dicat, Est autem fides sperandárum substántia rerum, arguméntum non apparéntium; profécto liquet quia fides illárum rerum arguméntum est, quæ apparére non possunt. Quæ étenim appárent, iam fidem non habent, sed agnitiónem.

Even as the Lord before His birth willed that Mary should be espoused, and yet never lose her virginity, so, after His Resurrection, He willed that His disciple should doubt, and yet not lose his faith. For, even as the espoused husband was the keeper of the virginity of the Mother, so was the disciple who doubted and felt, the witness of the truth of the Resurrection. He felt, and cried out My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. When the Apostle Paul saith Heb. xi. i: Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, he plainly meaneth that faith is the evidence of things that cannot be seen. When they are seen, there remaineth not faith, but knowledge.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Isti sunt viri sancti, quos elégit Dóminus in caritáte non ficta, et dedit illis glóriam sempitérnam:

℟. These men are saints, whom the Lord hath chosen in love unfeigned, and hath given them glory everlasting. These are they

* Quorum doctrína fulget Ecclésia, ut sole luna.

* By the light of whose teaching the Church is glorified, even as the moon is glorified by the light of the sun.

℣. Sancti per fidem vicérunt regna: operáti sunt iustítiam.

℣. The saints through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness.

℟. Quorum doctrína fulget Ecclésia, ut sole luna.

Dum ergo vidit Thomas, dum palpávit, cur ei dícitur: Quia vidísti me, credidísti? Sed áliud vidit, áliud crédidit. A mortáli quippe hómine divínitas vidéri non pótuit. Hóminem ergo vidit, et Deum conféssus est, dicens: Dóminus meus, et Deus meus. Vidéndo ergo crédidit, qui considerándo verum hóminem, hunc Deum, quem vidére non póterat, exclamávit. Lætíficat valde quod séquitur: Beáti qui non vidérunt, et credidérunt. In qua nimírum senténtia nos speciáliter signáti sumus, qui eum, quem carne non vídimus, mente retinémus. Nos signáti sumus; sed si fidem nostram opéribus séquimur. Ille étenim vere credit, qui exércet operándo quod credit.

Thomas, then, seeth, and believeth. Why is it said to him Because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed? The truth is, he saw one thing, and so believed another. To mortal man it is not given to see God. He therefore saw only the Manhood, and yet had faith in the Godhead: My Lord and my God. This he said, seeing and believing, seeing Perfect Man, and yet believing in Perfect God, Whom he could not see. O what a comfort are the words which follow! Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. These words are specially meant for us, who have not seen even the Flesh, and who yet do believe. They are specially meant for us if we believe and do not, by our lives, give the lie to our belief. He only hath a saving faith, whose faith beareth fruit.

38:11 Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.

38:11 I sought for the residue of my years. * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.

38:14 My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.

38:15 I hoped till morning, * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:

38:17 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:

38:18 Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?

38:18 Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?

38:19 I will recount to thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.

38:20 Dómine, si sic vívitur, et in tálibus vita spíritus mei, corrípies me, et vivificábis me. * Ecce, in pace amaritúdo mea amaríssima:

38:20 O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:

December 23rd 2026, the 14th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Romæ sanctæ Victóriæ, Vírginis et Mártyris, quæ, in persecutióne Décii Imperatóris, cum esset desponsáta Eugénio pagáno et nec núbere vellet neque sacrificáre, ídeo, post multa facta mirácula, quibus plúrimas Deo Vírgines aggregáverat, a carnífice percússa est gládio in corde, rogátu sui sponsi.

At Rome, the holy Virgin and martyr Victoria (de Tivoli.) She was espoused to one Eugenius, a heathen, and during the persecution under the Emperor Decius she would neither marry Eugenius nor offer sacrifice unto idols, but worked many miracles, whereby she gathered many virgins unto God, and the executioner stabbed her to the heart with his sword at the request of her espoused husband.

Nicomedíæ pássio sanctórum Migdónii et Mardónii, quorum alter, in Diocletiáni persecutióne, igne cremátus, alter in fossam proiéctus occúbuit. Tunc étiam Diáconus sancti Anthimi, Epíscopi Nicomediénsis, passus est; qui, cum lítteras perférret ad Mártyres, a Gentílibus tentus est, atque, lapídibus óbrutus, migrávit ad Dóminum.

At Nicomedia, twenty holy martyrs during the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian, after they had been most grievously tormented.

Ibídem natális sanctórum vigínti Mártyrum, quos ípsamet Diocletiána persecútio, gravíssimis torméntis cruciátos, Mártyres Christi fecit.

There likewise, in the same persecution, the holy martyrs Migdonius and Mardonius, of whom the one was burnt and the other cast into a ditch, and so died. Then also suffered the Deacon of holy Anthimus, Bishop of Nicomedia, who was bringing a letter to the martyrs when he was taken by the Gentiles and stoned to death, and so passed hence to be ever with the Lord.

In Creta sanctórum Mártyrum Theodúli, Saturníni, Eupori, Gelásii, Euniciáni, Zetici, Leóminis, Agathópodis, Basílidis et Evarísti; qui, in Décii persecutióne, crudélia passi sunt et cápite cæsi.

In Crete, the holy martyrs Theodulus, Saturninus, Euporus, Gelasius, Eunician, Zeticus, Cleomenes, Agathopus, Basilides, and Evaristus, who suffered great cruelties in the persecution under the Emperor Decius, and were beheaded. (They are often called the Ten Martyrs of Crete.)

Romæ beáti Sérvuli, qui (ut sanctus Gregórius Papa scribit), a primǽva sui ætáte usque ad finem vitæ, paralýticus iácuit in pórticu prope Ecclésiam sancti Cleméntis, et demum, Angelórum cántibus invitátus, ad paradísi glóriam transívit; ad cuius túmulum Deus mirácula crebérrime osténdit.

At Rome, blessed Servulus, concerning whom holy Gregory writeth that from his childhood even unto the end of his life he lay paralysed in a porch hard by the church of St. Clement, and at the end he was called by songs of angels, and passed away into the glory of Paradise, (in the year 570.) God doth very often show miracles at his grave.

Psalm 43(2-9) [1]

43:2 Deus áuribus nostris audívimus: * patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis.

43:2 We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,

43:2 Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.

43:2 The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.

43:3 Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.

43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

43:4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et brácchium eórum non salvávit eos:

43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

43:4 Sed déxtera tua, et brácchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

43:4 But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.

43:5 Tu es ipse Rex meus et Deus meus: * qui mandas salútes Iacob.

43:5 Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.

43:6 In te inimícos nostros ventilábimus cornu: * et in nómine tuo spernémus insurgéntes in nobis.

43:6 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

43:7 Non enim in arcu meo sperábo: * et gládius meus non salvábit me.

43:7 For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.

43:8 Salvásti enim nos de affligéntibus nos: * et odiéntes nos confudísti.

43:10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

43:11 Avertísti nos retrórsum post inimícos nostros: * et qui odérunt nos, diripiébant sibi.

43:11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

43:12 Dedísti nos tamquam oves escárum: * et in géntibus dispersísti nos.

43:12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.

43:13 Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine prétio: * et non fuit multitúdo in commutatiónibus eórum.

43:13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

43:14 Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.

43:14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

43:15 Posuísti nos in similitúdinem géntibus: * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.

43:15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.

43:16 Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me.

43:16 All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.

43:17 A voce exprobrántis, et obloquéntis: * a fácie inimíci, et persequéntis.

43:17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

43:18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

43:19 Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum: * et declinásti sémitas nostras a via tua:

Lesson from the book of Isaias

Isa 51:1-3

Isa 51:1-3

1 Audíte me, qui sequímini quod iustum est, et quǽritis Dóminum: atténdite ad petram unde excísi estis, et ad cavérnam laci, de qua præcísi estis.

1 Give ear to me, you that follow that which is just, and you that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are dug out.

2 Atténdite ad Abraham patrem vestrum, et ad Saram, quæ péperit vos, quia unum vocávi eum, et benedíxi ei, et multiplicávi eum.

2 Look unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.

3 Consolábitur ergo Dóminus Sion, et consolábitur omnes ruínas eius: et ponet desértum eius quasi delícias, et solitúdinem eius quasi hortum Dómini. Gáudium et lætítia inveniétur in ea, gratiárum áctio et vox laudis.

3 The Lord therefore will comfort Sion, and will comfort all the ruins thereof: and he will make her desert as a place of pleasure, and her wilderness as the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of praise.

Isa 51:4-6

4 Atténdite ad me, pópule meus, et tribus mea, me audíte: quia lex a me éxiet, et iudícium meum in lucem populórum requiéscet.

4 Hearken unto me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my tribes: for a law shall go forth from me, and my judgment shall rest to be a light of the nations.

5 My just one is near at hand, my saviour is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people: the islands shall look for me, and shall patiently wait for my arm.

6 Leváte in cælum óculos vestros, et vidéte sub terra deórsum: quia cæli sicut fumus liquéscent, et terra sicut vestiméntum atterétur, et habitatóres eius sicut hæc interíbunt: Salus autem mea in sempitérnum erit, et iustítia mea non defíciet.

6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice shall not fail.

67:3 Sicut déficit fumus, defíciant: * sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, sic péreant peccatóres a fácie Dei.

67:3 As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: * as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

67:7 Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; * in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.

67:8 Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto:

67:8 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, * when thou didst pass through the desert:

67:9 Terra mota est, étenim cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israël.

67:9 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sinai, * at the presence of the God of Israel.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 1:18-21

Matt 1:18-21

Cum esset desponsáta Mater Iesu María Ioseph, ántequam convenírent, invénta est in útero habens de Spíritu Sancto. Et réliqua.

When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Lib. 1 Comment. in c. 1 Matth.

Book of Commentaries, on Matth. i.

Quare non de símplici vírgine, sed de desponsáta concípitur? Primum, ut per generatiónem Ioseph, orígo Maríæ monstrarétur: secúndo, ne lapidarétur a Iudǽis ut adúltera: tértio, ut in Ægýptum fúgiens habéret solátium. Martyr Ignátius étiam quartam áddidit causam, cur a desponsáta concéptus sit: Ut partus, ínquiens, eius celarétur diábolo, dum eum putat non de vírgine, sed de uxóre generátum.

Why was the Lord conceived of an espoused virgin rather than of a free? First, for the sake of the genealogy of Mary, which we have obtained by that of Joseph. Secondly, because she was thus saved from being stoned by the Jews as an adulteress. Thirdly, that Himself and His mother might have a guardian on their journey into Egypt. To these, Ignatius, the martyr of Antioch, has added a fourth reason namely, that the birth might take place unknown to the devil, who would naturally suppose that Mary had conceived by Joseph.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Sanctificámini hódie, et estóte paráti: quia die crástina vidébitis

* Maiestátem Dei in vobis.

* The majesty of God upon you.

℣. Hódie sciétis quia véniet Dóminus, et mane vidébitis.

℣. This day ye shall know that the Lord cometh, and in the morning, then ye shall see.

℟. Maiestátem Dei in vobis.

℟. The majesty of God upon you.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Antequam convenírent, invénta est in útero habens de Spíritu Sancto. Non ab álio invénta est, nisi a Ioseph, qui pene licéntia maritáli futúræ uxóris ómnia nóverat. Quod autem dícitur, Antequam convenírent, non séquitur ut póstea convénerint: sed Scriptúra quod factum non sit, osténdit.

Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. She was found, that is, by Joseph, but by no one else. He had already almost an husband's privilege to know all that concerned her. Before they came together. This doth not imply that they ever did come together the Scripture merely showeth the absolute fact that up to this time they had not done so.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

Si quis fornicáriæ coniúngitur, unum corpus effícitur, et in lege præcéptum est, non solum reos, sed et cónscios críminum obnóxios esse peccáti: quómodo Ioseph, cum crimen celáret uxóris, iustus scríbitur? Sed hoc testimónium Maríæ est, quod Ioseph sciens illíus castitátem, et admírans quod evénerat, celat siléntio, cuius mystérium nesciébat.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. If any man be joined to a fornicatress they become one body; and according to the law they that are privy to a crime are thereby guilty. How then can it be that Joseph is described as a just man, at the very time he was compounding the criminality of his espoused? It must have been that he knew her to be pure, and yet understood not the mystery of her pregnancy, but, while he wondered at that which had happened, was willing to hold his peace.

Anno a creatióne mundi, quando in princípio Deus creávit cælum et terram, quinquiés millésimo centésimo nonagésimo nono; a dilúvio autem, anno bis millésimo nongentésimo quinquagésimo séptimo; a nativitáte Abrahæ, anno bis millésimo quintodécimo; a Móyse et egréssu pópuli Israël de Ægýpto, anno millésimo quingentésimo décimo; ab unctióne David in Regem, anno millésimo trigésimo secúndo; Hebdómada sexagésima quinta, iuxta Daniélis prophétiam; Olympíade centésima nonagésima quarta; ab urbe Roma cóndita, anno septingentésimo quinquagésimo secúndo; anno Impérii Octaviáni Augústi quadragésimo secúndo, toto Orbe in pace compósito, sexta mundi ætáte, Iesus Christus, ætérnus Deus æterníque Patris Fílius, mundum volens advéntu suo piíssimo consecráre, de Spíritu Sancto concéptus, novémque post conceptiónem decúrsis ménsibus Hic vox elevatur, et omnes genua flectunt, in Béthlehem Iudæ náscitur ex María Vírgine factus Homo. Hic autem in priori voce dicitur, et in tono passionis: Natívitas Dómini nostri Iesu Christi secúndum carnem.

In the year 5199th from the creation of the world, when in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, in the year 2957th from the flood, in the year 2015th from the birth of Abraham, in the year 1510th from the going forth of the people of Israel out of Egypt under Moses, in the year 1032th from the anointing of David as King, in the 65th week according to the prophecy of Daniel, in the 194th Olympiad, in the 752nd from the foundation of the city of Rome, in the 42nd year of the reign of the Emperor Octavian Augustus, in the 6th age of the world, while the whole earth was at peace, Jesus Christ, Himself Eternal God and Son of the Eternal Father, being pleased to hallow the world by His most gracious coming, having been conceived of the Holy Ghost, and when nine months were passed after His conception, all kneel down was born of the Virgin Mary at Bethlehem of Juda made Man, Our Lord Jesus Christ was born according to the flesh.

Quod sequitur, legitur in tono Lectionis consueto; et surgunt omnes.

Eódem die natális sanctæ Anastásiæ, quæ, témpore Diocletiáni, primo diram et immítem custódiam a viro suo Públio perpéssa est, in qua tamen a Confessóre Christi Chrysógono multum consoláta et confortáta fuit; deínde a Floro, Præfécto Illýrici, per diútinam custódiam maceráta, ad últimum, mánibus et pédibus exténsis, ligáta est ad palos, et circa eam ignis accénsus, in quo martýrium consummávit in ínsula Palmária, ad quam una cum ducéntis viris et septuagínta féminis deportáta fúerat, qui váriis interfectiónibus martýrium celebrárunt.

Upon the same 25th day of December were born into the better life:

Barcinóne, in Hispánia, item natális sancti Petri Nolásci Confessóris, qui Fundátor éxstitit Ordinis beátæ Maríæ de Mercéde redemptiónis captivórum, ac virtúte et miráculis cláruit. Ipsíus autem festum cólitur quinto Kaléndas Februárii.

The birthday of St. Anastasia, who in the reign of Diocletian first of all suffered hard and cruel imprisonment at the hands of her husband Publius, during which, however, she was much consoled and comforted by Chrysogonus, a confessor of Christ. Then she was enfeebled by lengthy detention by Florus, prefect of Illyria, and at last was bound to stakes with her hands and feet stretched out and fire kindled about her. Thus she achieved her martyrdom in the island of Palmaria, to which she had been deported with 200 men and 70 women, who celebrated their martyrdom by being slain in different ways.

Romæ, in cœmetério Aproniáni, sanctæ Eugéniæ Vírginis, beáti Mártyris Philíppi fíliæ, quæ, témpore Galliéni Imperatóris, post plúrima virtútum insígnia, post sacros Vírginum choros Christo aggregátos, sub Præfécto Urbis Nicétio diu agonizávit, ac novíssime gládio iuguláta est.

At Rome, in the Apronian cemetery, the holy virgin Eugenia, who in the time of the Emperor Gallienus, after many works of power, and after enlisting bands of sacred virgins for Christ, suffered long under Nicetius, Prefect of the city, and at length was slain with the sword (about 258).

Nicomedíæ pássio multórum míllium Mártyrum, qui cum in Christi Natáli ad Domínicum conveníssent, Diocletiánus Imperátor iánuas Ecclésiæ claudi iussit, et ignem circumcírca parari, tripodémque cum thure præ fóribus poni, ac præcónem magna voce clamáre ut qui incéndium vellent effúgere, foras exírent et Iovi thus adolérent; cumque omnes una voce respondíssent se pro Christo libéntius mori, incénso igne consúmpti sunt, atque ita eo die nasci meruérunt in cælis, quo Christus in terris pro salúte mundi olim nasci dignátus est.

At Nicomedia, many thousand holy martyrs. Upon the feast of Christ's birth they had come together unto the Lord's house, and the Emperor Diocletian ordered the doors of the church to be shut, and all things made ready for fire round about it then he set a tripod and incense in front of the door, and sent an herald to proclaim in a loud voice that whosoever would escape burning should come forth and offer incense unto Jupiter. Whereunto they all replied with one voice, that they would far rather die for Christ's sake, whereupon he kindled the fire and they were consumed, and were born in heaven upon that same day whereupon it had pleased Christ to be born into this world to save it.

℣. Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.

At Barcelona, in Spain (in the year 1256), the holy confessor Peter Nolasco, founder of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Ransom for the redemption of captives. He was famous for his graces and miracles, and Alexander VIII. commanded his feast to be kept upon the last day of January.

Isa 9:1-6

Isa 9:1-6

1 Primo témpore alleviáta est terra Zábulon, et terra Néphthali: et novíssimo aggraváta est via maris trans Iordánem Galilǽæ géntium.

1 At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded.

2 Pópulus qui ambulábat in ténebris, vidit lucem magnam: habitántibus in regióne umbræ mortis, lux orta est eis.

2 The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen.

3 Multiplicásti gentem, et non magnificásti lætítiam. Lætabúntur coram te, sicut qui lætántur in messe, sicut exsúltant victóres, capta præda, quando dívidunt spólia.

3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.

4 Iugum enim óneris eius, et virgam húmeri eius, et sceptrum exactóris eius superásti sicut in die Mádian.

4 For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou hast overcome, as in the day of Median.

5 Quia omnis violénta prædátio cum tumúltu, et vestiméntum mistum sánguine, erit in combustiónem, et cibus ignis.

5 For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.

6 Párvulus enim natus est nobis, et fílius datus est nobis, et factus est principátus super húmerum eius: et vocábitur nomen eius, Admirábilis, Consiliárius, Deus, Fortis, Pater futúri sǽculi, Princeps pacis.

6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

1 Consolámini, consolámini, pópule meus, dicit Deus vester.

1 Be comforted, be comforted, my people, saith your God.

2 Loquímini ad cor Ierúsalem, et advocáte eam: quóniam compléta est malítia eius, dimíssa est iníquitas illíus: suscépit de manu Dómini duplícia pro ómnibus peccátis suis.

2 Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her: for her evil is come to an end, her iniquity is forgiven: she hath received of the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.

3 Vox clamántis in desérto: Paráte viam Dómini, rectas fácite in solitúdine sémitas Dei nostri.

3 The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.

4 Omnis vallis exaltábitur, et omnis mons et collis humiliábitur: et erunt prava in dirécta, et áspera in vias planas.

4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways plain.

5 Et revelábitur glória Dómini: et vidébit omnis caro páriter quod os Dómini locútum est.

5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.

6 Vox dicéntis: Clama. Et dixi: Quid clamábo? Omnis caro fœnum, et omnis glória eius quasi flos agri.

6 The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of the field.

7 Exsiccátum est fœnum, et cécidit flos: quia spíritus Dómini sufflávit in eo. Vere fœnum est pópulus:

7 The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen, because the spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed the people is grass:

Isa 52:1-6

1 Consúrge, consúrge, indúere fortitúdine tua, Sion, indúere vestiméntis glóriæ tuæ, Ierúsalem, cívitas sancti: quia non adíciet ultra ut pertránseat per te incircumcísus, et immúndus.

1 Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.

5 And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.

6 Propter hoc sciet pópulus meus nomen meum, in die illa: quia ego ipse qui loquébar, ecce adsum.

6 Therefore my people shall know my name in that day: for I myself that spoke, behold I am here.

Sermo sancti Leónis Papæ

From the Sermons of Pope St. Leo (the Great)

Sermo 1 de Nativitate Domini

1st for Christmas

Salvátor noster, dilectíssimi, hódie natus est: gaudeámus. Neque enim fas est locum esse tristítiæ, ubi natális est vitæ: quæ, consúmpto mortalitátis timóre, nobis íngerit de promíssa æternitáte lætítiam. Nemo ab huius alacritátis participatióne secérnitur. Una cunctis lætítiæ commúnis est rátio: quia Dóminus noster, peccáti mortísque destrúctor, sicut nullum a reátu líberum réperit, ita liberándis ómnibus venit. Exsúltet sanctus, quia appropínquat ad palmam: gáudeat peccátor, quia invitátur ad véniam: animétur gentílis, quia vocátur ad vitam. Dei namque Fílius secúndum plenitúdinem témporis, quam divíni consílii inscrutábilis altitúdo dispósuit, reconciliándam auctóri suo natúram géneris assúmpsit humáni, ut invéntor mortis diábolus, per ipsam, quam vícerat, vincerétur.

Dearly beloved brethren, Unto us is born this day a Saviour, Luke ii. 11. Let us rejoice. It would be unlawful to be sad to day, for today is Life's Birthday; the Birthday of that Life, Which, for us dying creatures, taketh away the sting of death, and bringeth the bright promise of the eternal gladness hereafter. It would be unlawful for any man to refuse to partake in our rejoicing. All men have an equal share in the great cause of our joy, for, since our Lord, Who is the destroyer of sin and of death, findeth that all are bound under the condemnation, He is come to make all free. Rejoice, O thou that art holy, thou drawest nearer to thy crown! Rejoice, O thou that art sinful, thy Saviour offereth thee pardon! Rejoice also, O thou Gentile, God calleth thee to life! For the Son of God, when the fulness of the time was come, which had been fixed by the unsearchable counsel of God, took upon Him the nature of man, that He might reconcile that nature to Him Who made it, and so the devil, the inventor of death, is met and beaten in that very flesh which hath been the field of his victory.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. O magnum mystérium, et admirábile sacraméntum, ut animália vidérent Dóminum natum, iacéntem in præsépio:

℟. How great is this mystery, how wonderful is the teaching of the faith! The beasts saw the new-born Lord lying in a manger.

* Beáta Virgo, cuius víscera meruérunt portáre Dóminum Christum.

* Blessed is that Virgin whose womb was made meet to bear our Lord Christ.

℣. Ave, María, grátia plena: Dóminus tecum.

℣. Hail, Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee.

℟. Beáta Virgo, cuius víscera meruérunt portáre Dóminum Christum.

℟. Blessed is that Virgin whose womb was made meet to bear our Lord Christ.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Benediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live.

℟. Amen.

In quo conflíctu pro nobis ínito, magno et mirábili æquitátis iure certátum est, dum omnípotens Dóminus cum sævíssimo hoste non in sua maiestáte, sed in nostra congréditur humilitáte: obíciens ei eándem formam, eandémque natúram, mortalitátis quidem nostræ partícipem, sed peccáti totíus expértem. Aliénum quippe ab hac nativitáte est, quod de ómnibus légitur: Nemo mundus a sorde, nec infans, cuius est uníus diéi vita super terram. Nihil ergo in istam singulárem nativitátem de carnis concupiscéntia transívit, nihil de peccáti lege manávit. Virgo régia Davídicæ stirpis elígitur, quæ sacro gravidánda fœtu, divínam humanámque prolem prius concíperet mente, quam córpore. Et ne supérni ignára consílii ad inusitátos pavéret affátus, quod in ea operándum erat a Spíritu Sancto, collóquio discit angélico: nec damnum credit pudóris, Dei Génetrix mox futúra.

When our Lord entered the field of battle against the devil, He did so with a great and wonderful fairness. Being Himself the Almighty, He laid aside His uncreated Majesty to fight with our cruel enemy in our weak flesh. He brought against him the very shape, the very nature of our mortality, yet without sin.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Heb. iv. 15. His birth however was not a birth like other births for no other is born pure, nay, not the little child whose life endureth but a day on the earth. To His birth alone the throes of human passion had not contributed, in His alone no consequence of sin had had part. For His Mother was chosen a Virgin of the kingly lineage of David, and when she was to grow heavy with the sacred Child, her soul had already conceived Him before her body. She knew the counsel of God announced to her by the Angel, lest the unwonted events should alarm her. The future Mother of God knew what was to be wrought in her by the Holy Ghost, and that her modesty was absolutely safe.

℟. Deo grátias.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Beáta Dei Génetrix María, cuius víscera intácta pérmanent:

* Hódie génuit Salvatórem sǽculi.

℟. Blessed is God's holy Mother, Mary, maiden undefiled.

℣. Beáta, quæ crédidit: quóniam perfécta sunt ómnia, quæ dicta sunt ei a Dómino.

* This day hath she brought forth the Saviour of the world.

℟. Hódie génuit Salvatórem sǽculi.

℣. Blessed is she that believed; for there is a performance of all those things which were told her from the Lord.

℟. This day hath she brought forth the Saviour of the world.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris.

Agámus ergo, dilectíssimi, grátias Deo Patri, per Fílium eius in Spíritu Sancto: qui propter multam caritátem suam, qua diléxit nos, misértus est nostri: et cum essémus mórtui peccátis, convivificávit nos Christo, ut essémus in ipso nova creatúra, novúmque figméntum. Deponámus ergo véterem hóminem cum áctibus suis: et adépti participatiónem generatiónis Christi, carnis renuntiémus opéribus. Agnósce, o Christiáne, dignitátem tuam: et divínæ consors factus natúræ, noli in véterem vilitátem degéneri conversatióne redíre. Meménto, cuius cápitis et cuius córporis sis membrum. Reminíscere, quia érutus de potestáte tenebrárum, translátus es in Dei lumen et regnum.

Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us give thanks to God the Father, through His Son, in the Holy Ghost: Who, for His great love wherewith He loved us, hath had mercy on us and, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, Eph. ii. 4, 5, that in Him we might be a new creature, and a new workmanship. Let us then put off the old man with his deeds Col. iii. 9; and, having obtained a share in the Sonship of Christ, let us renounce the deeds of the flesh. Learn, O Christian, how great thou art, who hast been made partaker of the Divine nature, 2 Pet. i. 4, and fall not again by corrupt conversation into the beggarly elements above which thou art lifted. Remember Whose Body it is Whereof thou art made a member, and Who is its Head, 1 Cor. vi. 15. Remember that it is He That hath delivered thee from the power of darkness and hath translated thee into God's light, and God's kingdom, Col. i. 13.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Sancta et immaculáta virgínitas, quibus te láudibus éfferam, néscio:

* Quia quem cæli cápere non póterant, tuo grémio contulísti.

* For thou hast borne in thy breast Him Whom the heavens cannot contain.

℣. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui.

℣. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

℟. Quia quem cæli cápere non póterant, tuo grémio contulísti.

Homilia 8 in Evangelia

8th on the Gospels

Quia, largiénte Dómino, Missárum solémnia ter hódie celebratúri sumus, loqui diu de evangélica lectióne non póssumus: sed nos áliquid vel bréviter dícere, Redemptóris nostri Natívitas ipsa compéllit. Quid est enim, quod nascitúro Dómino mundus descríbitur, nisi hoc, quod apérte monstrátur, quia ille apparébat in carne, qui eléctos suos adscríberet in æternitáte? Quo contra de réprobis per prophétam dícitur: Deleántur de libro vivéntium, et cum iustis non scribántur. Qui bene étiam in Béthlehem náscitur: Béthlehem quippe domus panis interpretátur. Ipse namque est, qui ait: Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cælo descéndi. Locus ergo, in quo Dóminus náscitur, domus panis ántea vocátus est; quia futúrum profécto erat, ut ille ibi per matériam carnis apparéret, qui electórum mentes intérna satietáte refíceret. Qui non in paréntum domo, sed in via náscitur: ut profécto osténderet, quia per humanitátem suam, quam assúmpserat, quasi in aliéno nascebátur.

By God's mercy we are to say three Masses today, so that there is not much time left for preaching; but at the same time the occasion of the Lord's Birthday itself obliges me to speak a few words. I will first ask why, when the Lord was to be born, the world was enrolled? Was it not to herald the appearing of Him by Whom the elect are enrolled in the book of life? Whereas the Prophet saith of

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

the reprobate: Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. Ps. lxviii. 29. Then, the Lord is born in Bethlehem. Now the name Bethlehem signifieth the House of Bread, and thus it is the birth-place of Him Who hath said: I am the Living Bread, Which came down from heaven. John vi. 51. We see then that this name of Bethlehem was prophetically given to the place where Christ was born, because it was there that He was to appear in the flesh by Whom the souls of the faithful are fed unto life eternal. He was born, not in His Mother's house, but away from home. And this is a mystery, showing that this our mortality into which He was born was not the home of Him Who is begotten of the Father before the worlds.

℟. Deo grátias.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Beáta víscera Maríæ Vírginis, quæ portavérunt ætérni Patris Fílium: et beáta úbera, quæ lactavérunt Christum Dóminum:

* Qui hódie pro salúte mundi de Vírgine nasci dignátus est.

℟. Blessed be the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the Eternal Father, and blessed be the paps which give suck to Christ our Lord.

℣. Dies sanctificátus illúxit nobis: veníte, gentes, et adoráte Dóminum.

* This day hath He been pleased for the salvation of the world to be born of a Virgin.

℟. Qui hódie pro salúte mundi de Vírgine nasci dignátus est.

℣. This day which is breaking is holy; O come, ye Gentiles, and worship the Lord.

℟. This day hath He been pleased for the salvation of the world to be born of a Virgin.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Lib. 2 in cap. 2. Lucæ, circa medium

Book II on Luke II

Vidéte Ecclésiæ surgéntis exórdium: Christus náscitur, et pastóres vigiláre cœpérunt; qui géntium greges, pécudum modo ante vivéntes, in caulam Dómini congregárent, ne quos spiritálium bestiárum per offúsas nóctium ténebras pateréntur incúrsus. Et bene pastóres vígilant, quos bonus pastor infórmat. Grex ígitur pópulus, nox sǽculum, pastóres sunt sacerdótes. Aut fortásse étiam ille sit pastor, cui dícitur: Esto vígilans, et confírma. Quia non solum epíscopos ad tuéndum gregem Dóminus ordinávit, sed étiam Angelos destinávit.

Behold the beginning of the Church. Christ is born, and the shepherds watch; shepherds, to gather together the scattered sheep of the Gentiles, and to lead them into the fold of Christ, that they might no longer be a prey to the ravages of spiritual wolves in the night of this world's darkness. And that shepherd is wide awake, whom the Good Shepherd stirreth up. The flock then is the people, the night is the world, and the shepherds are the Priests. And perhaps he is a shepherd to whom it is said: Be watchful and strengthen, Apoc. iii. 2, for God hath ordained as the shepherds of His flock not Bishops only, but also Angels.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

* And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

℣. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt, et sine ipso factum est nihil.

Si et Verbum Dei ipsum factum est: per quod áliud verbum factum est? Si hoc dicis, quia hoc est verbum Verbi, per quod factum est illud; ipsum dico ego únicum Fílium Dei. Si autem non dicis verbum Verbi, concéde non factum, per quod facta sunt ómnia. Non enim per seípsum fíeri pótuit, per quod facta sunt ómnia. Crede ergo Evangelístæ.

Lest thou shouldest think all things mean, as thou art accustomed to think of things human, hear and digest this The Word was God. Now perhaps there will come forward some Arian unbeliever, and say that the Word of God was a creature. How can the Word of God be a creature, when it was by the Word that all creatures were made? If He be a creature, then there must have been some other Word, not a creature, by which He was made. And what Word is that? If thou sayest that it was by the word of the Word Himself that He was made, I tell thee that God had no other, but One Only-begotten Son. But if thou say not that it was by the word of the Word Himself that He was made, thou art forced to confess that. He by Whom all things were made was not Himself made at all. Believe the Gospel.

He was thrown to wild beasts, but they left him unharmed. He was led again to the altar, and, when he prayed, the idols fell down. Then they smote him with the sword, and he became more than conqueror through up-lifting of his testimony.

De Actibus Apostolórum

Lesson from the Acts of Apostles

Act. 6:1-6

Acts 6:1-6

1 In diébus illis, crescénte número discipulórum, factum est murmur Græcórum advérsus Hebrǽos, eo quod despiceréntur in ministério cotidiáno víduæ eórum.

1 And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

2 Convocántes autem duódecim multitúdinem discipulórum, dixérunt: Non est æquum nos derelínquere verbum Dei et ministráre mensis.

2 Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

3 Consideráte ergo, fratres, viros ex vobis boni testimónii, septem, plenos Spíritu Sancto et sapiéntia, quos constituámus super hoc opus.

3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

4 Nos vero oratióni et ministério verbi instántes érimus.

4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

5 Et plácuit sermo coram omni multitúdine. Et elegérunt Stéphanum virum plenum fide et Spíritu Sancto, et Philíppum, et Próchorum, et Nicánorem, et Timónem, et Pármenam, et Nicoláum, ádvenam Antiochénum.

5 And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.

6 Hos statuérunt ante conspéctum Apostolórum: et orántes imposuérunt eis manus.

6 These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.

Sermo sancti Fulgéntii Epíscopi

From the Sermons of St. Fulgentius, Bishop of Ruspe.

Sermo 3, de S. Stéphano, circa init.

On St. Stephen

Heri celebrávimus temporálem sempitérni Regis nostri natálem: hódie celebrámus triumphálem mílitis passiónem. Heri enim Rex noster trábea carnis indútus, de aula úteri virginális egrédiens, visitáre dignátus est mundum: hódie miles de tabernáculo córporis éxiens, triumphátor migrávit ad cælum. Ille, sempitérnæ Deitátis maiestáte serváta, servíle cinctórium carnis assúmens, in huius sǽculi campum pugnatúrus intrávit; iste, depósitis corruptibílibus córporis induméntis, ad cæli palátium perénniter regnatúrus ascéndit. Ille descéndit carne velátus, iste ascéndit sánguine laureátus.

Yesterday we were celebrating the birth in time of our Eternal King; today we celebrate the victory, through suffering, of one of His soldiers. Yesterday our King was pleased to come forth from His royal palace of the Virgin's womb, clothed in a robe of flesh, to visit the world; today His soldier, laying aside the tabernacle of the body, entereth in triumph into the heavenly palaces. The One, preserving unchanged that glory of the Godhead which He had before the world was, girded Himself with the form of a servant, and entered the arena of this world to fight sin; the other taketh off the garments of this corruptible body, and entereth into the heavenly mansions, where he will reign for ever. The One cometh down, veiled in flesh; the other goeth up, clothed in a robe of glory, red with blood.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Lapidábant Stéphanum invocántem et dicéntem:

℟. They stoned Stephen, calling upon God and saying:

* Dómine Iesu Christe, áccipe spíritum meum: et ne státuas illis hoc peccátum.

* Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit; and lay not this sin to their charge.

℣. Pósitis autem génibus, clamávit voce magna, dicens.

Ascéndit iste lapidántibus Iudǽis, quia ille descéndit lætántibus Angelis. Glória in excélsis Deo, heri sancti Angeli exsultántes cantavérunt: hódie Stéphanum lætántes in suum consórtium suscepérunt. Heri Dóminus exívit de útero Vírginis: hódie miles egréssus est de ergástulo carnis. Heri Christus pro nobis pannis est involútus: hódie Stéphanus stola est ab eo immortalitátis indútus. Heri præsépis angústia Christum portávit infántem: hódie imménsitas cæli suscépit Stéphanum triumphántem. Solus Dóminus descéndit, ut multos eleváret: humiliávit se Rex noster, ut suos mílites exaltáret.

The One cometh down amid the jubilation of angels; the other goeth up amid the stoning of the Jews. Yesterday the holy angels were singing, Glory to God in the highest; today there is joy among them, for they receive Stephen into their company. Yesterday the Lord came forth from the Virgin's womb; today His soldier is delivered from the prison of the body. Yesterday Christ was for our sakes wrapped in swaddling bands; today He girdeth Stephen with a robe of immortality. Yesterday the new-born Christ lay in a narrow manger; today Stephen entereth victorious into the boundless heavens. The Lord came down alone that He might raise many up; our King humbled Himself that He might set His soldiers in high places.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

* Dómine Iesu, áccipe spíritum meum.

Necessárium tamen nobis est, fratres, agnóscere, quibus armis præcínctus Stéphanus sævítiam Iudæórum pótuit superáre, ut ita meruísset felíciter triumpháre. Stéphanus ergo, ut nóminis sui corónam meruísset accípere, caritátem pro armis habébat, et per ipsam ubíque vincébat. Per caritátem Dei sæviéntibus Iudǽis non cessit: per caritátem próximi pro lapidántibus intercéssit. Per caritátem arguébat errántes, ut corrigeréntur: per caritátem pro lapidántibus orábat, ne puniréntur. Caritátis virtúte subníxus, vicit Saulum crudéliter sæviéntem; et quem hábuit in terra persecutórem, in cælo méruit habére consórtem.

Why brethren, it behoveth us to consider with what arms Stephen was able, amid all the cruelty of the Jews, to remain more than conqueror, and worthily to attain to so blessed a triumph. Stephen, in that struggle which brought him to the crown whereof his name is a prophecy, had for armour the love of God and man, and by it he remained victorious on all hands. The love of God strengthened him against the cruelty of the Jews; and the love of his neighbour made him pray even for his murderers. Through love he rebuked the wandering, that they might be corrected; through love he prayed for them that stoned him, that they might not be punished. By the might of his love he overcame Saul his cruel persecutor; and earned for a comrade in heaven, the very man who had done him to death upon earth.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Impii super iustum iactúram fecérunt, ut eum morti tráderent:

℟. The ungodly fell upon the righteous, to put him to death.

* At ille gaudens suscépit lápides, ut mererétur accípere corónam glóriæ.

* But he received the stones with joy, that he might earn a crown of glory.

℣. Continuérunt aures suas, et ímpetum fecérunt unanímiter in eum.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 23:34-39

Matt 23:34-39

In illo témpore: Dicébat Iesus scribis et pharisǽis: Ecce ego mitto ad vos prophétas, et sapiéntes, et scribas: et ex illis occidétis, et crucifigétis. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus said to the scribes and pharisee: I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify. And so on,

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Liber 4 Comment. in cap. 23 Matthæi

Book IV, Commentary on Matth. XXIII

Hoc quod ántea dixerámus, Impléte mensúram patrum vestrórum; ad persónam Dómini pertinére, eo quod occidéndus esset ab eis, potest et ad discípulos eius reférri, de quibus nunc dicit: Ecce ego mitto ad vos prophétas, et sapiéntes, et scribas. Simúlque obsérva, iuxta Apóstolum scribéntem ad Corínthios, vária esse dona discipulórum Christi; álios prophétas, qui ventúra prædícent; álios sapiéntes, qui novérunt quando débeant proférre sermónem; álios scribas in lege doctíssimos, ex quibus lapidátus est Stéphanus, Paulus occísus, crucifíxus Petrus, flagelláti in Actibus Apostolórum discípuli.

We have already remarked that the Lord's words, Fill ye up the measure of your fathers, 32, refer in the first place to Himself, Whom the Jews afterwards put to death. In a secondary sense it may likewise be applied to His disciples, of whom He saith, Behold, I send unto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes. Here observe that, according to the Apostle writing to the Corinthians, 1 Cor. xii. 4, there are diversities of gifts among Christ's followers. Some are Prophets of that which is to come; some are wise men, who know the due season for rebuke and exhortation; some are Scribes learned in the law. And of these they stoned Stephen, slew Paul with the sword, crucified Peter, and scourged the Disciples mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. v, 40; xvi, 23.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Stéphanus servus Dei, quem lapidábant Iudǽi, vidit cælos apértos: vidit, et introívit:

℟. Stephen, the servant of God, who was stoned by the Jews, saw the heavens opened he saw and entered in.

* Beátus homo, cui cæli patébant.

* Blessed is he, unto whom the heavens were opened.

℣. Cum ígitur saxórum crepitántium túrbine quaterétur, inter æthéreos aulæ cæléstis sinus divína ei cláritas fulsit.

℣. While his poor body was crushed by the hurtling shower of stones, God's brightness broke upon him out of the heavenly palaces.

℟. Beátus homo, cui cæli patébant.

℟. Blessed is he unto whom the heavens were opened.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Cuius festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God.

Quǽrimus, quis iste sit Zacharías fílius Barachíæ: quia multos légimus Zacharías. Et ne líbera nobis tribuerétur erróris facúltas, ádditum est: Quem occidístis inter templum et altáre. In divérsis divérsa legi: et débeo singulórum opiniónes pónere. Alii Zacharíam fílium Barachíæ dicunt, qui in duódecim prophétis undécimus est, patrísque in eo nomen conséntit: sed ubi occísus sit inter templum et altáre, Scriptúra non lóquitur; máxime cum tempóribus eius vix ruínæ templi fúerint. Alii Zacharíam patrem Ioánnis intellégi volunt, ex quibúsdam apocryphórum sómniis approbántes, quod proptérea occísus sit, quia Salvatóris prædicáverit advéntum.

It is a subject of dispute among commentators who is meant by Zacharias the son of Barachias. We read of several persons of the name of Zacharias. But here, in order to prevent any mistake, it is particularly said, Whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. I have read various opinions in various places upon this question, and I will give each. First, some hold that Zacharias the son of Barachias is the eleventh of the twelve Minor Prophets; and this opinion is supported by the father's name. But the Bible nowhere telleth us that this Prophet was slain between the temple and the altar; and it is hardly possible that he can have been, for in his time it could scarcely be said that even the ruins of the temple were in existence. Secondly, others maintain that this Zacharias was Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. This interpretation is derived from the dreams of the Apocryphal Gospels, wherein it is asserted that he was martyred for preaching Christ's coming.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Patefáctæ sunt iánuæ cæli Christi Mártyri beáto Stéphano, qui in número Mártyrum invéntus est primus:

℟. The gates of heaven were opened to Christ's blessed martyr Stephen, and he is the first of all the martyrs.

* Et ídeo triúmphat in cælis coronátus.

* Wherefore he reigneth crowned in heaven.

℣. Mortem enim, quam Salvátor noster dignátus est pro nobis pati, hanc ille primus réddidit Salvatóri.

℣. For he was the first to make an offering of his death to that Saviour Who vouchsafed to suffer death for us.

℟. Et ídeo triúmphat in cælis coronátus.

℟. Wherefore he reigneth crowned in heaven.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

℟. Et ídeo triúmphat in cælis coronátus.

℟. Wherefore he reigneth crowned in heaven.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Alii istum volunt esse Zacharíam, qui occísus est a Ioas rege Iudæ inter templum et altáre, sicut Regum narrat história. Sed observándum, quod ille Zacharías non sit fílius Barachíæ, sed fílius Ióiadæ sacerdótis: unde et Scriptúra refert: Non fuit recordátus Ioas patris eius Ióiadæ, quia sibi fecísset bona. Cum ergo et Zacharíam teneámus et occisiónis conséntiat locus: quǽrimus, quare Barachíæ dicátur fílius, et non Ióiadæ? Barachía lingua nostra Benedíctus Dómini dícitur, et sacerdótis Ióiadæ iustítia Hebrǽo nómine demonstrátur. In Evangélio, quo utúntur Nazaréni, pro fílio Barachíæ, fílium Ióiadæ reperímus scriptum.

A third school will have it that this Zacharias, the son of Barachias, was that Zacharias of whom we read, in Chron. xxiv. 22, that he was slain by Joash, king of Judah, between the temple and the altar. Against this it is to be remarked, that that Zacharias was not the son of Barachias, but of Jehoiada the priest; whence it is written, Joash remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him. The question therefore ariseth, if this opinion be true, why, the name and manner of death both agreeing with this explanation, Zacharias is called the son, not of Jehoiada, but of Barachias. In Hebrew, Barachias signifieth the Blessed of the Lord, and Jehoiada proves his Righteousness. In the Gospel used by the Nazarenes the name of Jehoiada is used instead of Barachias.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Sexto Kaléndas Ianuárii Luna duodevicésima Anno Dómini 2026

December 27th 2026, the 18th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Apud Ephesum natális sancti Ioánnis, Apóstoli et Evangelístæ, qui, post Evangélii scriptiónem, post exsílii relegatiónem et Apocalýpsim divínam, usque ad Traiáni Príncipis témpora persevérans, totíus Asiæ fundávit rexítque Ecclésias, ac tandem, conféctus sénio, sexagésimo octávo post passiónem Dómini anno mórtuus est, et iuxta eándem urbem sepúltus.

At Ephesus, the holy Apostle and Evangelist John. After the writing of his Gospel after his return from exile, and after the Revelation which God gave unto him, he lived on until the time of the Emperor Trajan, and founded and governed the churches of all Asia. He died of old age in the sixty-eighth year after the death of Christ (about the year 101), and was buried hard by the city of Ephesus.

Constantinópoli sanctórum Confessórum Theodóri et Theóphanis fratrum, qui, a puerítia in Palæstinénsi sancti Sabbæ monastério nutríti, cum póstea pro sanctárum Imáginum cultu advérsus Leónem Arménum strénue decertárent, eius iussu verbéribus affécti sunt et exsílio relegáti. Sed, eódem Leóne mórtuo, rursus Theóphilo Imperatóri, qui eádem impietáte detinebátur, constánter resisténtes, verbéribus íterum cæsi et in exsílium pulsi sunt, ubi Theodórus in cárcere exspirávit. Theóphanes vero, pace demum Ecclésiæ réddita, factus est Nicǽnæ civitátis Epíscopus, et confessiónis glória præclárus quiévit in Dómino.

At Alexandria, holy Maximus, Pope of that See, who was eminently worthy to be called a confessor (in the year 282).

Alexandríæ sancti Máximi Epíscopi, qui satis clarus et insígnis título confessiónis efféctus est.

At Constantinople the holy brethren Theodore (Grapt) and Theophanes. They were bred up from their childhood in the monastery of St. Saba, and afterwards stoutly contended for the honouring of holy images against the Emperor Leo the Armenian, for the which he caused them to be beaten and sent into exile, and after his death they still stoutly withstood the Emperor Theophilus, who was held captive by the same ungodliness, for the which he also caused them to be again beaten and driven into exile. Theodore died in prison, but Theophanes, after that peace was given back to the Church, was made Bishop of Nice, and fell asleep in peace in the Lord (ninth century).

Constantinópoli sanctæ Nicáretes Vírginis, quæ, sub Arcádio Imperatóre, cláruit sanctitáte.

Likewise, at Constantinople, the holy virgin Niceras, who was eminent for her holiness, in the time of the Emperor Arcadius (about the year 440).

Isa 9:1-6

Isa 9:1-6

1 Primo témpore alleviáta est terra Zábulon, et terra Néphthali: et novíssimo aggraváta est via maris trans Iordánem Galilǽæ géntium.

1 At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded.

2 Pópulus qui ambulábat in ténebris, vidit lucem magnam: habitántibus in regióne umbræ mortis, lux orta est eis.

2 The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen.

3 Multiplicásti gentem, et non magnificásti lætítiam. Lætabúntur coram te, sicut qui lætántur in messe, sicut exsúltant victóres, capta præda, quando dívidunt spólia.

3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.

4 Iugum enim óneris eius, et virgam húmeri eius, et sceptrum exactóris eius superásti sicut in die Mádian.

4 For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou hast overcome, as in the day of Median.

5 Quia omnis violénta prædátio cum tumúltu, et vestiméntum mistum sánguine, erit in combustiónem, et cibus ignis.

5 For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.

6 Párvulus enim natus est nobis, et fílius datus est nobis, et factus est principátus super húmerum eius: et vocábitur nomen eius, Admirábilis, Consiliárius, Deus, Fortis, Pater futúri sǽculi, Princeps pacis.

6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.

1 Consolámini, consolámini, pópule meus, dicit Deus vester.

1 Be comforted, be comforted, my people, saith your God.

2 Loquímini ad cor Ierúsalem, et advocáte eam: quóniam compléta est malítia eius, dimíssa est iníquitas illíus: suscépit de manu Dómini duplícia pro ómnibus peccátis suis.

2 Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her: for her evil is come to an end, her iniquity is forgiven: she hath received of the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.

3 Vox clamántis in desérto: Paráte viam Dómini, rectas fácite in solitúdine sémitas Dei nostri.

3 The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.

4 Omnis vallis exaltábitur, et omnis mons et collis humiliábitur: et erunt prava in dirécta, et áspera in vias planas.

4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways plain.

5 Et revelábitur glória Dómini: et vidébit omnis caro páriter quod os Dómini locútum est.

5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.

6 Vox dicéntis: Clama. Et dixi: Quid clamábo? Omnis caro fœnum, et omnis glória eius quasi flos agri.

6 The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of the field.

7 Exsiccátum est fœnum, et cécidit flos: quia spíritus Dómini sufflávit in eo. Vere fœnum est pópulus:

7 The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen, because the spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed the people is grass:

8 Exsiccátum est fœnum, et cécidit flos: Verbum autem Dómini nostri manet in ætérnum.

8 The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen: but the word of our Lord endureth for ever.

Isa 52:1-6

Isa 52:1-6

1 Consúrge, consúrge, indúere fortitúdine tua, Sion, indúere vestiméntis glóriæ tuæ, Ierúsalem, cívitas sancti: quia non adíciet ultra ut pertránseat per te incircumcísus, et immúndus.

1 Arise, arise, put on thy strength, O Sion, put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One: for henceforth the uncircumcised, and unclean shall no more pass through thee.

2 Excútere de púlvere, consúrge, sede, Ierúsalem: solve víncula colli tui, captíva fília Sion.

2 Shake thyself from the dust, arise, sit up, O Jerusalem: loose the bonds from off thy neck, O captive daughter of Sion.

3 Quia hæc dicit Dóminus: Gratis venumdáti estis, et sine argénto redimémini.

3 For thus saith the Lord: You were sold gratis, and you shall be redeemed without money.

4 Quia hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: In Ægýptum descéndit pópulus meus in princípio, ut colónus esset ibi: et Assur absque ulla causa calumniátus est eum.

4 For thus saith the Lord God: My people went down into Egypt at the beginning to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without any cause at all.

5 Et nunc quid mihi est hic, dicit Dóminus, quóniam ablátus est pópulus meus gratis? Dominatóres eius iníque agunt, dicit Dóminus: et iúgiter tota die nomen meum blasphemátur.

5 And now what have I here, saith the Lord: for my people is taken away gratis. They that rule over them treat them unjustly, saith the Lord, and my name is continually blasphemed all the day long.

6 Propter hoc sciet pópulus meus nomen meum, in die illa: quia ego ipse qui loquébar, ecce adsum.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 2:33-40

Luke 2:33-40

In illo témpore: Erat Ioseph, et María mater Iesu, mirántes super his, quæ dicebántur de illo. Et réliqua.

In that time, his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 2 in cap. 2 Lucæ, prope finem

Bk. ii on Luke ii

Vides úberem in omnes grátiam, Dómini generatióne diffúsam, et prophetíam incrédulis negátam esse, non iustis. Ecce et Símeon prophétat, in ruínam et resurrectiónem plurimórum venísse Dóminum Iesum Christum, ut iustórum, iniquorúmque mérita discérnat; et pro nostrórum qualitáte factórum, iudex verus et iustus aut supplícia decérnat, aut prǽmia.

We see that God's abounding grace is poured forth on all by the birth of the Lord, and that the gift of prophecy is not denied to the righteous, but to the unbelieving. Simeon prophesieth that our Lord Jesus Christ is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, setting forth that the just and the unjust reap different fruits from the coming of the Saviour; so will it be with us; according to our individual works will the True and Just Judge apportion to us punishment or reward.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

Sermo sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

From the Sermons of St. Augustine, Bishop (of Hippo)

Sermo 10 de Sanctis

10th on the Saints

Hódie, fratres caríssimi, natálem illórum infántium cólimus, quos ab Heróde crudelíssimo rege interféctos esse, Evangélii textus elóquitur. Et ídeo cum summa exsultatióne gáudeat terra, cæléstium mílitum et tantárum parens fecúnda virtútum. Ecce profánus hostis nunquam beátis párvulis tantum prodésse potuísset obséquio, quantum prófuit ódio. Nam, sicut sacratíssimum præséntis diéi festum maniféstat, quantum in beátos párvulos iníquitas abundávit, tantum in eis grátia benedictiónis refúdit.

Dearly beloved brethren, today we keep the birthday of those children, who, as we are informed by the Gospel, were massacred by the savage King Herod. Therefore let earth rejoice with exceeding joy, for she is the mother of these heavenly soldiers, and of this numerous host. The love of the vile Herod could never have crowned these blessed ones as hath his hatred. For the Church testifieth by this holy solemnity, that whereas iniquity did specially abound against these little saints, so much the more were heavenly blessings poured out upon them.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Effudérunt sánguinem Sanctórum velut aquam in circúitu Ierúsalem:

℟. The blood of thy saints have they shed like water round about Jerusalem.

* Et non erat qui sepelíret.

* And there was none to bury them.

℣. Posuérunt mortália servórum tuórum escas volatílibus cæli, carnes sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ.

℣. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the air, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

℟. Et non erat qui sepelíret.

℟. And there was none to bury them.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.

Benediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Beáta es, o Béthlehem terra Iuda, quæ Heródis regis immanitátem in puerórum exstinctióne perpéssa es: quæ sub uno témpore candidátam plebem imbéllis infántiæ Deo offérre meruísti. Digne tamen natálem illórum cólimus, quos beátius ætérnæ vitæ mundus édidit, quam quos maternórum víscerum partus effúdit. Síquidem ante vitæ perpétuæ adépti sunt dignitátem, quam usúram præséntis accéperint.

Blessed art thou, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, which hast suffered the cruelty of King Herod in the slaughter of thy children; who art found worthy to offer at once to God a whole white-robed army of guileless martyrs! Surely, it is well to keep their birthday, even that blessed birthday which gave them from earth to heaven, more blessed than the day that brought them out of their mother's womb. Scarcely had they entered on the life that now is, when they obtained that glorious life which is to come.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℣. Avenge, O Lord, the blood of thy saints which is shed.

℟. Quia clamant ad te cotídie.

Aliórum quidem pretiósa mors Mártyrum laudem in confessióne proméruit, horum in consummatióne complácuit; quia incipiéntis vitæ primórdiis, ipse eis occásus inítium glóriæ dedit, qui præséntis términum impósuit. Quos Heródis impíetas lactántes matrum ubéribus abstráxit; qui iure dicúntur Mártyrum flores, quos in médio frígore infidelitátis exórtos, velut primas erumpéntes Ecclésiæ gemmas, quædam persecutiónis pruína decóxit.

We praise the death of other martyrs because it was the crowning act of an undaunted and persistent testimony; but these were crowned at once. He That maketh an end to this present life, gave to them at its very gates that eternal blessedness which we hope for at its close. They whom the wickedness of Herod tore from their mothers' breasts are rightfully called the flowers of martyrdom; hardly had these buds of the Church shown their heads above the soil, in the winter of unbelief, when the frost of persecution nipped them.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Isti sunt, qui non inquinavérunt vestiménta sua:

℟. These are they which have not defiled their garments.

* Ambulábunt mecum in albis, quia digni sunt.

* They shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.

℣. Hi sunt, qui cum muliéribus non sunt coinquináti: vírgines enim sunt.

℣. These are they which were not defiled with women for they are virgins.

32:17 Fallax equus ad salútem: * in abundántia autem virtútis suæ non salvábitur.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 2:13-18

Matt 2:13-18

In illo témpore: Angelus Dómini appáruit in somnis Ioseph, dicens: Surge, et áccipe Púerum et Matrem eius, et fuge in Ægýptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Et réliqua.

At that time, an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest (at Bethlehem)

Lib. 1 Comm. in c. 2 Matth. et apud Gloss. ord.

Book I Comment, on Matth. II

Quando tulit Púerum et Matrem eius, ut in Ægýptum tránseat, nocte tulit, et in ténebris: quia noctem ignorántiæ his, a quibus ipse recéssit, relíquit incrédulis. Quando vero revértitur in Iudǽam, nec nox, nec ténebræ ponúntur in Evangélio: quia in fine mundi Iudǽi fidem, tamquam Christum ab Ægýpto reverténtem suscipiéntes, illuminabúntur.

He took the young Child, and His mother, and fled into Egypt, by night and in darkness; and the darkness of that night was a figure of the darkness of ignorance in which they left the unbelievers from whom they fled. But when they returned into Judaea, we learn not from the Gospel that it was by night, or in darkness; which is an image of that light which will lighten the Jews, when, at the end of the world, they shall receive back the faith, which now lighteneth the Gentiles, even as Judaea received Christ returning from Egypt.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Cantábant Sancti cánticum novum ante sedem Dei et Agni:

℟. The saints sung a new song before the throne of God and the Lamb.

* Et resonábat terra in voces eórum.

* And their voices were echoed on earth.

℣. Hi empti sunt ex homínibus primítiæ Deo et Agno, et in ore ipsórum non est invéntum mendácium.

℣. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God, and to the Lamb, and in their mouth was found no guile.

℟. Et resonábat terra in voces eórum.

℟. And their voices were echoed on earth.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Quorum festum cólimus, ipsi intercédant pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Benediction. They whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocates with God.

℟. Amen.

Ut adimplerétur quod dictum est a Dómino per prophétam dicéntem: Ex Ægýpto vocávi Fílium meum. Respóndeant, qui Hebræórum volúminum dénegant veritátem, ubi hoc in Septuagínta legátur interprétibus. Quod cum non invénerint, nos eis dicémus, in Osée prophéta scriptum, sicut et exemplária probáre possunt, quæ nuper edídimus.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying Out of Egypt have I called My Son. Those who go about to deny the authority of the Hebrew Scriptures, ask where any such passage is to be found in the Septuagint. But, although they find it not there, I tell them that the fact of its being written in the Prophet Hosea xi. i can be proved by the texts which I have lately published.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

℟. Deo grátias.

Tunc adimplétum est, quod dictum est per Ieremíam prophétam dicéntem: Vox in Rama audíta est, plorátus et ululátus multus, Rachel plorans fílios suos. De Rachel natus est Béniamin, in cuius tribu non est Béthlehem. Quǽritur ergo, quómodo Rachel fílios Iudæ, id est Béthlehem, quasi suos ploret. Respondébimus bréviter, quia sepúlta sit iuxta Béthlehem in Ephrata; et ex matérno corpúsculi hospítio matris nomen accéperit; sive quóniam Iuda et Béniamin duæ tribus iunctæ erant, et Heródes præcéperat non solum in Béthlehem intérfici púeros, sed et in ómnibus fínibus eius.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the Prophet, saying; In Rama was there a voice heard, weeping and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children. The child of Rachel was Benjamin, and Bethlehem is not a town belonging to his tribe. We must therefore seek another reason why Rachel should weep for the children of Judah, to whom Bethlehem belongeth, as for her own. The plain answer is that she is buried at Ephrath close to Bethlehem, and she is called Mother on account of the resting-place of her earthly tabernacle being there. It is possible also that she is called Mother because the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were joined together, and Herod slew not only all the children that were in Bethlehem, but also in all the coasts thereof.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Rom 1:13-19

Rom 1:13-19

13 Nolo autem vos ignoráre fratres: quia sæpe propósui veníre ad vos (et prohíbitus sum usque adhuc) ut áliquem fructum hábeam et in vobis, sicut et in céteris géntibus.

13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 Græcis ac bárbaris, sapiéntibus, et insipiéntibus débitor sum:

14 To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;

15 Ita (quod in me) promptum est et vobis, qui Romæ estis, evangelizáre.

15 So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.

16 Non enim erubésco Evangélium. Virtus enim Dei est in salútem omni credénti, Iudǽo primum, et Græco.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

17 Iustítia enim Dei in eo revelátur ex fide in fidem: sicut scriptum est: Iustus autem ex fide vivit.

17 For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.

18 Revelátur enim ira Dei de cælo super omnem impietátem, et iniustítiam hóminum eórum, qui veritátem Dei in iniustítia détinent:

43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

43:4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et brácchium eórum non salvávit eos:

43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

43:4 Sed déxtera tua, et brácchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

43:16 Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me.

43:16 All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.

51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.

51:7 Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem, * evéllet te, et emigrábit te de tabernáculo tuo: et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.

51:7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.

52:4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.

52:5 Nonne scient omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?

52:6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.

52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

52:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.

72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.

72:3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.

72:4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.

72:4 For there is no regard to their death, * nor is there strength in their stripes.

72:5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:

72:5 They are not in the labour of men: * neither shall they be scourged like other men.

72:6 Ídeo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.

72:7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: * they have passed into the affection of the heart.

72:8 Cogitavérunt, et locúti sunt nequítiam: * iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.

72:8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: * they have spoken iniquity on high.

72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?

72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?

72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.

72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.

72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa iustificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:

72:13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, * and washed my hands among the innocent.

72:14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.

72:18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up, thou hast cast them down.

72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.

72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.

72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.

72:20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.

72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.

72:21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.

72:23 Ut iuméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.

72:23 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.

72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.

72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.

72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?

72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?

72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.

72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.

72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.

72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.

72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:

72:28 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, * to put my hope in the Lord God:
