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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 6:16-21

Matt 6:16-21

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Cum ieiunátis, nolíte fíeri sicut hypócritæ, tristes. Et réliqua.

In that time Jesus said to his disciples: And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Lib. 2 de Serm. Domini in monte, cap. 12 tom. 4

Bk. ii on the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, ch. xii, tom. 4

Maniféstum est, his præcéptis omnem nostram intentiónem in interióra gáudia dírigi: ne foris quæréntes mercédem, huic sǽculo conformémur, et amittámus promissiónem tanto solidióris atque firmióris, quanto interióris beatitúdinis, qua nos elégit Deus confórmes fíeri imáginis Fílii sui. In hoc autem capítulo máxime adverténdum est, non in solo rerum corporeárum nitóre atque pompa, sed étiam in ipsis sórdibus luctuósis esse posse iactántiam et eo periculosiórem, quo sub nómine servitútis Dei décipit.

It is evident that by these precepts we are bidden to seek for inner gladness, lest, by running after that reward which is without, we should become conformed to the fashion of this world, and should so lose the promise of that blessing which is all the truer and more stable that it is inward, that blessing wherein God hath chosen us to be conformed to the likeness of His Son. In this chapter we will principally consider the fact that vain-glory findeth a ground for its exercise in struggling poverty as much as in worldly distinction and display; and this development is the most dangerous, because it entices under pretence of being the serving of God.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Veni hódie ad fontem aquæ, et orávi Dóminum, dicens:

℟. I came this day unto the well, and I besought the Lord, and said:

* Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum.

* O Lord God of Abraham, Thou hast prospered my way.

℣. Igitur puélla, cui díxero, Da mihi aquam de hýdria tua, ut bibam: et illa díxerit, Bibe, dómine, et camélis tuis potum tríbuam: ipsa est, quam præparávit Dóminus fílio dómini mei.

℣. Therefore the virgin to whom I shall say: Give me water of thy pitcher to drink; and she shall say to me: Drink, my lord, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son.

℟. Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum.

℟. O Lord God of Abraham, Thou hast prospered my way.

Qui ergo immoderáto cultu córporis atque vestítu, vel ceterárum rerum nitóre præfúlget, fácile convíncitur rebus ipsis, pompárum sǽculi esse sectátor, nec quemquam fallit dolósa imágine sanctitátis. Qui autem in professióne christianitátis, inusitáto squalóre ac sórdibus inténtos in se óculos hóminum facit, cum id voluntáte fáciat, non necessitáte patiátur: ex céteris eius opéribus potest cónici, utrum hoc contémptu supérflui cultus, an ambitióne áliqua fáciat: quia et sub ovína pelle cavéndos lupos Dóminus præcépit: Sed ex frúctibus, inquit, eórum cognoscétis eos.

He that is characterised by unbridled indulgence in luxury or in dress, or any other display, is by these very things easily shown to be a follower of worldly vanities, and deceiveth no one by putting on an hypocritical mask of godliness. But those professors of Christianity, who turn all eyes on themselves by an eccentric show of grovelling and dirtiness, not suffered by necessity, but by their own choice, of them we must judge by their other works whether their conduct really proceedeth from the desire of mortification by giving up unnecessary comfort, or is only the mean of some ambition the Lord biddeth us beware of wolves in sheep's clothing, but by their fruits, saith He, ye shall know them.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

* Fear not, Abram I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

℣. Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de Ur Chaldæórum.

Cum enim cœ́perint alíquibus tentatiónibus ea ipsa scílicet illis súbtrahi, vel negári, quæ isto velámine vel consecúti sunt, vel cónsequi cúpiunt: tunc necésse est ut appáreat, utrum lupus in ovína pelle sit, an ovis in sua. Non tamen proptérea ornátu supérfluo debet aspéctus hóminum mulcére Christiánus, quia illum parcum hábitum ac necessárium étiam simulatóres sǽpius usúrpant, ut incáutos decípiant: quia et illæ oves non debent pelles suas depónere, si aliquándo eis lupi se cóntegant.

The test is when, by diverse trials, such persons lose those things which under the cover of seeming unworldliness they have either gained or sought to gain. Then must it needs appear whether they be wolves in sheep's clothing, or indeed sheep in their own. But that hypocrites do the contrary maketh it no duty of a Christian to shine before the eyes of men with a display of needless luxury the sheep need not to lay aside their own clothing because wolves sometimes falsely assume it.

52:3 Deus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum: * ut vídeat si est intéllegens, aut requírens Deum.

52:3 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: * to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.

Quinto Nonas Mártii Luna secúnda Anno Dómini 2033

On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy Confessor Aelred, Abbot of Rievaux, of the Cistercian Order, famous for his knowledge of sacred letters, uprightness of life, self-content, wondrous long-suffering, spirit of prophecy, heavenly conversation, and great miracles, who departed this life upon the 12th day of January.

March 3rd 2033, the 2nd day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Cæsaréæ, in Palæstína, sanctórum Mártyrum Maríni mílitis, et Astérii Senatóris, in persecutióne Valeriáni. Horum prior, cum accusátus esset a commilitónibus ut Christiánus, et, interrogátus a Iúdice, se Christiánum esse voce claríssima testarétur, martýrii corónam abscissióne cápitis accépit; cumque Astérius corpus Mártyris, cápite truncátum, subiéctis húmeris et substráta veste, qua induebátur, excíperet, honórem quem Mártyri détulit, contínuo et ipse Martyr accépit.

Calagúrri, in Hispánia, natális sanctórum Mártyrum Hemitérii et Cheledónii fratrum, qui, cum apud Legiónem, Gallǽciæ urbem, in castris militárent, ambo, exsurgénte persecutiónis procélla, pro confessióne nóminis Christi, Calagúrrim usque profécti, ibi, plúribus torméntis afflícti, martýrio coronáti sunt.

At Caesarea, in Palestine, in the persecution under the Emperor Valerian, the holy martyrs Marinus the soldier and Asterius the senator.

Eódem die pássio sanctórum Felícis, Lucíoli, Fortunáti, Márciæ et Sociórum.

Marinus was accused by his comrades of being a Christian, and when asked by the judge so declared with a loud voice, and was beheaded.

Item sanctórum mílitum Cleoníci, Eutrópii et Basilísci, qui, in persecutióne Maximiáni, sub Asclepíade Prǽside, crucis supplício felíciter triumphárunt

Asterius took off his own garment, wrapt in it the headless body of the martyr, and took it upon his own shoulder, and for so doing himself received the honour of martyrdom.

They were stationed as soldiers in camp at Leon in Galicia, when the storm of persecution broke. On account of their confession of the Name of Christ they were taken to Calaxorra, where they were put to diverse torments and crowned with martyrdom. [Their bodies rest in the Cathedral of Calal they are the patrons.]

Upon the same day the holy martyrs Felix, Luciolus, Fortunatus, Marcia, and their Companions.

Lib. 2 de Consensu Evangelist. cap. 20, tom. 4

Book ii on the Agreement of the Evangelists, ch. xx, tom. 4

Videámus, utrum sibi de hoc servo centuriónis Matthǽus Lucásque conséntiant. Matthǽus enim dicit: Accéssit ad eum centúrio, rogans eum, et dicens: Puer meus iacet in domo paralýticus. Cui vidétur repugnáre quod ait Lucas: Et cum audísset de Iesu, misit ad eum senióres Iudæórum, rogans eum ut veníret, et sanáret servum eius. At illi cum veníssent ad Iesum, rogábant eum sollícite, dicéntes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes: díligit enim gentem nostram, et synagógam ipse ædificávit nobis. Iesus autem ibat cum illis: et cum iam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centúrio amícos, dicens: Dómine, noli vexári: non enim dignus sum ut sub tectum meum intres.

Let us consider whether Matthew and Luke are at one as touching this centurion's servant. Matthew saith: “There came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him, and saying: ‘Lord, my servant lieth at home sick, of the palsy.’” This seemeth to differ from what Luke saith, namely: “And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching Him that He would come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying: “That he was worthy for whom He should do this; for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.” Then Jesus went with them; and when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him: “Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof.” vii. 6, seq.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dómine, puer meus iacet paralýticus in domo, et male torquétur:

℟. Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and grievously tormented.

* Amen dico tibi, ego véniam, et curábo eum.

* Amen, I say unto thee, I will come and heal him:

℣. Dómine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur puer meus.

℣. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed:

℟. Amen dico tibi, ego véniam, et curábo eum.

℟. Amen, I say unto thee, I will come and heal him.

℣. 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.

Si enim hoc ita gestum est, quómodo erit verum, quod Matthǽus narrat: Accéssit ad eum quidam centúrio, cum ipse non accésserit, sed amícos míserit: nisi diligénter adverténtes intellegámus Matthǽum non omnímodo deseruísse usitátum morem loquéndi? Non solum enim dícere solémus, accessísse áliquem étiam antequam pervéniat illuc, quo dícitur accessísse: unde étiam dícimus: Parum accéssit, vel multum accéssit eo, quo áppetit perveníre: verum étiam ipsam perventiónem cuius adipiscéndi causa accéditur, dícimus plerúmque factam, etsi eum, ad quem pérvenit, non vídeat ille qui pérvenit, cum per amícum pérvenit ad áliquem, cuius ei favor est necessárius. Quod ita ténuit consuetúdo, ut iam étiam vulgo perventóres appelléntur, qui poténtium quorúmlibet tamquam inaccessíbiles ánimos, per conveniéntium personárum interpositiónem, ambitiónis arte pertíngunt.

If it were done thus, how is Matthew truthful, when he saith that the centurion came unto Him, seeing that, in fact, he sent his friends? We must then look well into this, and we shall see that Matthew only made use of a common form of speech. Now, we use to say of a man that he cometh to a place even though he be not already come: whence also we say, He arrived close; or He arrived long way off, that is, to that place to which he would come; yea, we speak of that coming, toward which he tendeth, as though it had already taken place, when he that should be come at, seeth not yet him that cometh, but is come at for him by friends, to obtain his favour, which is needful for him that would come to him. And so much doth this manner of speaking hold, that they are commonly said to come at a great man, (who is beyond their personal reach,) who, by means of suitable persons, succeed in laying before him such things as they desire.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dum staret Abraham ad ílicem Mambre, vidit tres viros ascendéntes per viam:

℟. Abraham stood by the oak of Mamre, and he saw three men coming up by the path.

* Tres vidit, et unum adorávit.

* He saw three, and worshipped One.

℣. Ecce Sara uxor tua páriet tibi fílium, et vocábis nomen eius Isaac.

℣. Behold, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac.

℟. Tres vidit, et unum adorávit.

℟. He saw three, and worshipped One.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Reading 3

Non ergo absúrde Matthǽus, étiam quod vulgo possit intéllegi, per álios facto accéssu centuriónis ad Dóminum, compéndio dícere vóluit: Accéssit ad eum centúrio. Verúmtamen non negligénter intuénda est étiam sancti Evangelístæ altitúdo mýsticæ locutiónis, secúndum quam scriptum est in Psalmo: Accédite ad eum, et illuminámini. Proínde quia fidem centuriónis, qua vere accéditur ad Iesum, ipse ita laudávit, ut díceret: Non invéni tantam fidem in Israël: ipsum pótius accessísse ad Christum dícere vóluit prudens Evangelísta, quam illos, per quos verba sua míserat.

Therefore it is not strange that Matthew should make use of the common short phrase, and say of the centurion, who reached the Lord's sympathies, by mean of friends, that he came unto Him. Also we must needs not pass by lightly the mystic depth which underlieth the words of this holy Evangelist. It is written in the Psalms xxxiii. 6: Draw near unto Him and be enlightened. Thus did the centurion in faith draw near unto Jesus, and the Lord so praised him that He said: I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. Of him of whom these words were spoken, the Evangelist deemeth it wiser to say that he had found his way to Jesus; that he had got to Christ, than that they came, through whom he sent his message unto Him.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tentávit Dóminus Abraham, et dixit ad eum:

℟. The Lord did tempt Abraham, and said unto him:

* Tolle fílium tuum, quem díligis, Isaac, et offer illum ibi in holocáustum super unum móntium, quem díxero tibi.

* Take thy son Isaac whom thou lovest, and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

℣. Vocátus quoque a Dómino, respóndit, Adsum: et ait ei Dóminus.

℣. And when the Lord called him, he answered: Behold, here I am. And the Lord said unto him:

℟. Tolle fílium tuum, quem díligis, Isaac, et offer illum ibi in holocáustum super unum móntium, quem díxero tibi.

℟. Take thy son Isaac whom thou lovest, and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

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

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

℟. Tolle fílium tuum, quem díligis, Isaac, et offer illum ibi in holocáustum super unum móntium, quem díxero tibi.

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.

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.

72:18 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 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.

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

78:6 Effúnde iram tuam in gentes, quæ te non novérunt: * et in regna quæ nomen tuum non invocavérunt:

78:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: * and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

78:7 Quia comedérunt Iacob: * et locum eius desolavérunt.

78:7 Because they have devoured Jacob; * and have laid waste his place.

78:8 Ne memíneris iniquitátum nostrárum antiquárum, cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ tuæ: * quia páuperes facti sumus nimis.

78:9 Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: * and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:

78:10 Ne forte dicant in géntibus: Ubi est Deus eórum? * et innotéscat in natiónibus coram óculis nostris.

78:10 Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? * And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes,

78:10 Últio sánguinis servórum tuórum, qui effúsus est: * intróeat in conspéctu tuo gémitus compeditórum.

78:10 By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed: * let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee.

78:11 Secúndum magnitúdinem brácchii tui, * pósside fílios mortificatórum.

78:11 According to the greatness of thy arm, * take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.

78:12 Et redde vicínis nostris séptuplum in sinu eórum: * impropérium ipsórum, quod exprobravérunt tibi, Dómine.

78:12 And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: * the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:43-48; 6:1-4

Matt 5:43-48; 6:1-4

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Audístis quia dictum est: Díliges próximum tuum, et ódio habébis inimícum tuum. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Lib. 1 Comm. in cap. 5 et 6 Matth.

Bk. i, Comm. on Matth. v and vi

Ego autem dico vobis: Dilígite inimícos vestros; benefácite his qui odérunt vos. Multi præcépta Dei, imbecillitáte sua, non Sanctórum víribus æstimántes, putant esse impossibília quæ præcépta sunt: et dicunt suffícere virtútibus, non odísse inimícos: céterum dilígere, plus prǽcipi, quam humána natúra patiátur. Sciéndum est ergo, Christum non impossibília præcípere, sed perfécta. Quæ fecit David in Saul, et in Absalom: Stéphanus quoque Martyr pro inimícis lapidántibus deprecátus est: et Paulus anáthema cupit esse pro persecutóribus suis. Hæc autem Iesus et dócuit et fecit, dicens: Pater, ignósce illis: quod enim fáciunt, nésciunt.

But I say unto you: “Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you.” There are many who judge of the commandments of the Lord by their own weakness, and not by the strength of His Saints; and so deem Him to have commanded things impossible. These are they who think that not to hate their enemies is all that they are able to do; and that to command us to love them, is to command more than man's nature can bear. It behoveth them to know, that this which Christ commandeth is not impossible, albeit perfect. This is what David did in respect of Saul and Absalom; the martyr Stephen also prayed for his enemies, even while they were stoning him; and Paul could wish that himself were accursed from Christ for his persecutors. Rom. ix. 3. And this, Jesus Himself did, as well as taught, when He said: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke xxiii. 34.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Angelus Dómini vocávit Abraham, dicens:

℟. The Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham and said:

* Ne exténdas manum tuam super púerum, eo quod tímeas Dóminum.

* Lay not thine hand upon the lad; for now I know that thou fearest God.

℣. Cumque extendísset manum ut immoláret fílium, ecce Angelus Dómini de cælo clamávit, dicens.

℣. And Abraham stretched forth his hand to slay his son; and, behold, the Angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said:

℟. Ne exténdas manum tuam super púerum, eo quod tímeas Dóminum.

℟. Lay not thy hand upon the lad; for now I know that thou fearest God.

Ut sitis fílii Patris vestri, qui in cælis est. Si Dei præcépta custódiens, fílius quis effícitur Dei: ergo non est natúra fílius, sed arbítrio suo. Cum ergo facis eleemósynam, noli tuba cánere ante te, sicut hypócritæ fáciunt in synagógis et in vicis, ut honorificéntur ab homínibus. Qui tuba canit, eleemósynam fáciens, hypócrita est. Qui ieiúnans demolítur fáciem suam, ut ventris inanitátem monstret in vultu, et hic hypócrita est. Qui in synagógis et in ángulis plateárum orat, ut videátur ab homínibus, hypócrita est.

That ye may be the children of your Father Which is in heaven. If he that doeth the commandments of God becometh a son of God, then is he not a son by nature, but by his own choice. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. He that soundeth a trumpet before him, when he doeth alms, is an hypocrite. He that disfigureth his face, when he fasteth, to the end that he may show the emptiness of his belly in his looks, he also is an hypocrite.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

* Et multiplicábo te sicut stellas cæli.

* And said: I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven.

℣. Possidébit semen tuum portas inimicórum tuórum, et benedicéntur in sémine tuo omnes tribus terræ.

Ex quibus ómnibus collígitur hypócritas esse, qui quódlibet fáciunt ut ab homínibus glorificéntur. Mihi vidétur et ille, qui dicit fratri suo: Dimítte ut tollam festúcam de óculo tuo: nam propter glóriam hoc fácere vidétur, ut ipse iustus esse videátur. Unde dícitur ei a Dómino: Hypócrita, éice primum trabem de óculo tuo. Non ítaque virtus, sed causa virtútis apud Deum mercédem habet. Et si a recta via páululum declináveris, non ínterest, utrum ad déxteram vadas, an ad sinístram, cum verum iter amíseris.

He that prayeth in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that he may be seen of men, is an hypocrite. From all which, we gather that an hypocrite is one which doeth anything that he may have glory of men. To me also it seemeth that he which saith unto his brother: “Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye”, vii. 4 that he also is an hypocrite; for he proposeth to take upon him that office for vainglory's sake, that he himself may appear righteous. Therefore the Lord saith unto him: “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye.” Thus we see that it is, not the doing good, but the motive which moveth us to do good, which will meet with reward from God; and, if thou stray but a little from the right way, it is of small moment whether thou wander to the right hand or to the left, when once thou hast lost the straight path.

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Marcum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Mark

Marc 6:47-56

Mark 6:47-56

In illo témpore: Cum sero esset, erat navis in médio mari, et Iesus solus in terra. Et réliqua.

In that time when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and Jesus himself alone on the land. And so on.

Homilía sancti venerábilis Bedæ Presbýteri

Homily by the Venerable Bede, Priest (at Jarrow) and Doctor of the Church

Lib. 2, cap. 28 in cap. 6 Marci, tom. 4

Bk. ii, cap. 6, on Mark vi, 45

Labor discipulórum in remigándo, et contrárius eis ventus, labóres sanctæ Ecclésiæ varios desígnat: quæ inter undas sǽculi adversántis, et immundórum flatus spirítuum, ad quiétem pátriæ cæléstis, quasi ad fidam líttoris statiónem, perveníre conátur. Ubi bene dícitur, quia navis erat in médio mari, et ipse solus in terra: quia nonnúnquam Ecclésia tantis gentílium pressúris non solum afflícta, sed et fœdáta est, ut, si fíeri posset, Redémptor ipsíus eam prorsus deseruísse ad tempus viderétur.

The toil of the disciples in rowing, and the wind contrary to them, is a figure of the diverse toils of the Holy Church, as, amid the waves of a world that fighteth against her, and the stormy blasts of unclean spirits, she laboureth to reach the rest of her Fatherland above, as a shore safe for her anchor. Here also it is well said that the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land; for sometimes it cometh to pass that the Church is, by the great pressure of the Gentiles, not only so afflicted, but also befouled, that it seemeth as though, if it were possible, her Redeemer had for the time forsaken her.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Veni hódie ad fontem aquæ, et orávi Dóminum, dicens:

℟. I came this day unto the well, and I besought the Lord, and said:

* Dómine, Deus Abraham, tu prósperum fecísti desidérium meum.

* O Lord God of Abraham, Thou hast prospered my way.

℣. Igitur puélla, cui díxero, Da mihi aquam de hýdria tua, ut bibam: et illa díxerit, Bibe, dómine, et camélis tuis potum tríbuam: ipsa est, quam præparávit Dóminus fílio dómini mei.

Unde est illa vox eius inter undas procellásque tentatiónum irruéntium deprehénsæ, atque auxílium protectiónis illíus gemebúndo clamóre quæréntis: Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe, déspicis in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne? Quæ páriter vocem inimíci persequéntibus expónit, in sequéntibus Psalmi subíciens: Dixit enim in corde suo: Oblítus est Deus, avértit fáciem suam, ne vídeat usque in finem.

Whence it is that there cometh that cry of hers, when she is taken amid the waves, and the winds of temptations that break upon her, and with piteous entreaty she calleth on Him to protect her: Why standest Thou afar off, O Lord, why hidest Thou thyself in times of trouble? Ps. ix. 22. And then, in the verses that follow, she telleth Him what saith the enemy that persecuted her, saying: For he hath said in his heart God hath forgotten; He hideth His face, He will never see it. 32.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Verum ille non oblivíscitur oratiónem páuperum, neque avértit fáciem suam a sperántibus in se: quin pótius et certántes cum hóstibus, ut vincant, ádiuvat, et victóres in ætérnum corónat. Unde hic quoque apérte dícitur, quia vidit eos laborántes in remigándo. Videt quippe Dóminus laborántes in mari, quamvis ipse pósitus in terra: quia etsi ad horam différre videátur auxílium tribulátis impéndere, nihilóminus eos, ne in tribulatiónibus defíciant, suæ respéctu pietátis corróborat: et aliquándo étiam manifésto adiutório, victis adversitátibus, quasi calcátis sedatísque flúctuum volumínibus líberat.

Verily, He forgetteth not the prayer of the poor, neither turneth He His face away from any that putteth his trust in Him; yea, rather, to him whosoever is striving with the enemy, He giveth help to conquer, and, whosoever conquereth, to him He giveth an everlasting crown. For the which reason also it is here said plainly He saw them toiling in rowing. The Lord seeth them that are toiling in the sea, albeit He be Himself on the land. Although He seem for a moment to tarry in succouring the distressed, nevertheless the look of His love is strengthening them, all the while, lest they should faint and sometimes He setteth them free, even by an open deliverance, conquering all their adversaries for them, as when He walked upon the swelling of the waves, and stilled them.

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

9 Quasi moriéntes, et ecce vívimus: ut castigáti, et non mortificáti:

2 Cor 6:11-16

11 Os nostrum patet ad vos, o Corínthii; cor nostrum dilatátum est.

11 Our mouth is open to you, O ye Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

12 Non angustiámini in nobis: angustiámini autem in viscéribus vestris:

12 You are not straitened in us, but in your own bowels you are straitened.

13 Eándem autem habéntes remuneratiónem, tamquam fíliis dico, dilatámini et vos.

13 But having the same recompense, (I speak as to my children,) be you also enlarged.

14 Nolíte iugum dúcere cum infidélibus. Quæ enim participátio iustítiæ cum iniquitáte? aut quæ socíetas luci ad ténebras?

14 Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?

15 Quæ autem convéntio Christi ad Bélial? aut quæ pars fidéli cum infidéli?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?

16 Qui autem consénsus templo Dei cum idólis? vos enim estis templum Dei vivi, sicut dicit Deus: Quóniam inhabitábo in illis, et inambulábo inter eos, et ero illórum Deus, et ipsi erunt mihi pópulus.

2 Cor 7:4-9

4 Replétus sum consolatióne; superabúndo gáudio in omni tribulatióne nostra.

4 I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.

5 Nam et cum venissémus in Macedóniam, nullam réquiem hábuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulatiónem passi sumus: foris pugnæ, intus timóres.

5 For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.

6 Sed qui consolátur húmiles, consolátus est nos Deus in advéntu Titi.

6 But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.

7 Non solum autem in advéntu eius, sed étiam in consolatióne, qua consolátus est in vobis, réferens nobis vestrum desidérium, vestrum fletum, vestram æmulatiónem pro me, ita ut magis gaudérem.

7 And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

8 Quóniam etsi contristávi vos in epístola, non me pœ́nitet: etsi pœnitéret, videns quod epístola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristávit,

8 For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;

9 Nunc gáudeo: non quia contristáti estis, sed quia contristáti estis ad pœniténtiam.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 4:1-11

Matt 4:1-11

In illo témpore: Ductus est Iesus in desértum a Spíritu, ut tentarétur a diábolo. Et cum ieiunásset quadragínta diébus et quadragínta nóctibus, póstea esúriit. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 16 in Evangelia

16th on the Gospels

Dubitári a quibúsdam solet, a quo spíritu sit Iesus ductus in desértum, propter hoc quod súbditur: Assúmpsit eum diábolus in sanctam civitátem: et rursum: Assúmpsit eum in montem excélsum valde. Sed vere et absque ulla quæstióne conveniénter accípitur, ut a Sancto Spíritu in desértum ductus credátur: ut illuc eum suus Spíritus dúceret, ubi hunc ad tentándum malígnus spíritus inveníret. Sed ecce cum dícitur Deus homo vel in excélsum montem, vel in sanctam civitátem a diábolo assúmptus, mens réfugit crédere, humánæ hoc audíre aures expavéscunt. Qui tamen non esse incredibília ista cognóscimus, si in illo et ália facta pensámus.

Some persons are accustomed to question what Spirit it was of which Jesus was led up into the wilderness, on account of the words a little farther on Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city and again The devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain. But in truth, and without any searching, we may very fitly take it that we are to believe it was the Holy Ghost Who led Him up into the wilderness; His own Spirit led Him where the evil spirit found Him to tempt Him. When however it is said that He, God and man, was taken up by the devil either into an exceeding high mountain or into the holy city, the mind shrinketh from believing, and the ears of man tingle to hear it. Yet these things we know not to be incredible, when we consider certain other things concerning Him.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

* In mánibus portábunt te, ne umquam offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.

* They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

℣. Super áspidem et basilíscum ambulábis, et conculcábis leónem et dracónem.

℣. Thou shalt tread upon the adder and the cockatrice, the lion also, and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

℟. In mánibus portábunt te, ne umquam offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:31-46

Matt 25:31-46

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Cum vénerit Fílius hóminis in maiestáte sua, et omnes Angeli cum eo, tunc sedébit super sedem maiestátis suæ: et congregabúntur ante eum omnes gentes. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: When the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. And all nations shall be gathered together before him. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Lib. de fide et operibus. cap. 15 tom. 4, circa medium

On Faith and Works, xv, 4

Si mandátis non servátis, ad vitam veníri potest per solam fidem, quæ sine opéribus mórtua est: illud deínde quómodo verum erit, quod eis, quos ad sinístram positúrus est, dicet: Ite in ignem ætérnum, qui parátus est diábolo, et ángelis eius: nec íncrepat, quia in eum non credidérunt; sed quia bona ópera non fecérunt? Nam profécto, ne sibi quisquam de fide, quæ sine opéribus mórtua est, promíttat ætérnam vitam; proptérea omnes gentes segregatúrum se dixit, quæ permíxtæ eisdem páscuis utebántur: ut appáreat, eos illi dictúros: Dómine, quando te vídimus illa et illa patiéntem, et non ministrávimus tibi? qui in eum credíderant, sed bona operári non curáverant, tamquam de ipsa fide mórtua ad vitam pervenirétur ætérnam.

If, without keeping the commandments, it be possible to attain unto life by faith only, and faith, if it hath not works, is dead, James ii. 17, how can it be true that the Lord will say to such as He shall have set on His left hand Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels? He rebuketh them, not because they have not believed in Him, but because they have not wrought good works. Yea, lest any man should promise himself life eternal by faith only, (and faith, if it hath not works, is dead,) the Lord saith that He will gather together all nations, nations who have lived mingled together in the same countries, that we may seem to hear them which have believed indeed in Him, but have not wrought good works, (as though that their dead faith could, being alone, lead them into life eternal,) that we may seem to hear such crying unto Him, Lord, when saw we thee suffering such and such things, and did not minister unto thee?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis: commendémus nosmetípsos in multa patiéntia, in ieiúniis multis,

* Per arma iustítiæ virtútis Dei.

* In the power of God, by the armour of righteousness.

℣. In ómnibus exhibeámus nosmetípsos sicut Dei minístros, in multa patiéntia, in ieiúniis multis.

An forte ibunt in ignem ætérnum, qui ópera misericórdiæ non fecérunt: et non ibunt, qui aliéna rapuérunt? vel corrumpéndo in se templum Dei, in seípsos immisericórdes fuérunt: quasi ópera misericórdiæ prosint áliquid sine dilectióne, dicénte Apóstolo: Si distríbuam ómnia mea paupéribus, caritátem autem non hábeam, nihil mihi prodest? Aut díligat quisquam próximum sicut seípsum, qui non díligit seípsum? Qui enim díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.

If they shall go into everlasting fire who have not done works of mercy, shall not they go who have taken their neighbour's goods? Or shall not they go who have outraged the temple of God in their own selves, and so been merciless to themselves? As if works of mercy could avail anything without love, contrary to the words of the Apostle Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. xiii. 3. And what manner of love to his neighbour hath he who loveth him as himself and loveth not himself? remembering that he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul. Ps. x. 6.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

Neque illud dici hic póterit, in quo nonnúlli seípsos sedúcunt, ignem ætérnum dictum, non ipsam combustiónem ætérnam. Per ignem quippe, qui ætérnus erit, transitúros arbitrántur eos, quibus propter fidem mórtuam per ignem promíttunt salútem: ut vidélicet ipse ignis ætérnus sit, combústio vero eórum, hoc est, operátio ignis, nos sit in eos ætérna: cum et hoc prǽvidens Dóminus senténtiam suam conclúsit ita dicens: Sic ibunt illi in combustiónem ætérnam, iusti autem in vitam ætérnam. Erit ergo ætérna combústio, sicut ignis: et eos in illam itúros Véritas dicit, quorum non fidem, sed bona ópera defuísse declarávit.

Neither dare we say here that by which some delude themselves, namely, that the fire indeed is everlasting, but that they will not burn therein everlastingly. Such men say that they whose faith is dead, will pass through that everlasting fire, and that they are they to whom it is promised that they themselves shall be saved, yet so as by fire. 1 Cor. iii. 15. So that, though the fire itself be everlasting, the burning of the damned therein, that is, the work of the fire upon them, will not be everlasting. As though the Lord were answering this beforehand, the last words of His Sermon are And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. As the fire, so shall the burning be; and the Truth biddeth us know that they shall burn therein, who have lacked, not faith, but good works.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 21:10-17

Matt 21:10-17.

In illo témpore: Cum intrásset Iesus Ierosólymam, commóta est univérsa cívitas, dicens: Quis est hic? Et réliqua.

In that time, when Jesus was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this? And so on.

Homilía sancti Bedæ Venerábilis Presbýteri

Homily by the Venerable Bede, Priest at Jarrow.

Homil. 7 in Quadrag. tom. 7

11th for Lent, Tom. vii

Quod maledicéndo ficum infructuósam per figúram fecit Dóminus, hoc idem mox apértius osténdit, eiciéndo ímprobos e templo. Neque enim áliquid peccávit arbor, quod esuriénte Dómino poma non hábuit, quorum necdum tempus advénerat: sed peccavére sacerdótes, qui in domo Dómini negótia sæculária gerébant, et fructum pietátis, quem debúerant, quemque in eis Dóminus esuriébat, ferre superséderant. Arefécit Dóminus árborem maledícto, ut hómines hæc vidéntes, sive audiéntes, multo magis intellégerent sese divíno condemnándos esse iudício, si absque óperum fructu, de plausu tantum sibi religiósi sermónis, velut de sónitu et teguménto blandiréntur viridántium foliórum.

The same thing which the Lord showed in a figure by cursing the barren fig-tree, He afterwards more plainly put before us by casting the desecrators out of the temple. The tree herself had not sinned by bearing no fruit when the Lord was hungry, for the time of figs was not yet come, but those Priests had sinned who were carrying on worldly business in the Lord's house, and who neglected to bring forth that fruit of godliness which they owed, and which the Lord was hungry to find in them. The Lord made the fig-tree to wither away under His curse, that all men who saw it, and all men who hear of it, might know that they will be condemned by the judgment of God, if they content themselves with the talk of godliness, without the solid fruit of good works, even as that barren figtree was clothed only with a rustling garb of green leaves.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Emendémus in mélius, quæ ignoránter peccávimus: ne súbito præoccupáti die mortis, quærámus spátium pœniténtiæ, et inveníre non possímus:

℟. Let us amend for the better in that wherein we have sinned unknowingly, or ever the day of death suddenly prevent us, and we seek a place of repentance, and find none.

* Atténde, Dómine, et miserére, quia peccávimus tibi.

* Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.

℣. Adiuva nos, Deus salutáris noster, et propter honórem nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos.

℣. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the glory of thy Name deliver us, O Lord.

℟. Atténde, Dómine, et miserére, quia peccávimus tibi.

℟. Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.

℣. 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.

Verum quia non intellexérunt, in ipsos consequénter districtiónem méritæ ultiónis exércuit: et eiécit commércia rerum humanárum de domo illa, in qua divínas tantum res agi, hóstias et oratiónes Dei offérri, verbum Dei legi, audíri, et decantári præcéptum erat. Et quidem credéndum est, quia ea tantum vendi vel emi repérerit in templo quæ ad ministérium necessária essent eiúsdem templi, iuxta hoc quod álias factum légimus, cum idem templum ingrédiens, invénit in eo vendéntes et eméntes oves, et boves, et colúmbas: quia nimírum hæc ómnia non nisi ut offerréntur in domo Dómini, eos qui de longe vénerant, ab indígenis comparáre credéndum est.

But because the buyers and sellers understood not the parable of the barren fig-tree, the Lord brought upon them the stroke of the punishment that they had deserved, and cast out the traffickers in earthly things, from that house, wherein it had been commanded that nothing should be done save the work of God, sacrifices and prayers offered up to Him, and His word read, taught, and sung. And yet it may be believed that nothing was being sold or bought in the temple save such things as were needful for the service thereof, as we read in another place, John ii. 14, that when Jesus went into the temple He found those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and all these things were doubtless there for no other end but to be offered to God in that His holy house, and were sold by the natives to those worshippers who came from a distance, to be so used.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius:

℟. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him;

* Quia benígnus et miséricors est, et præstábilis super malítia Dóminus Deus noster.

* For the Lord our God is gracious, and merciful, and repenteth Him of the evil.

℣. Non vult Dóminus mortem peccatóris, sed ut convertátur et vivat.

℣. The Lord hath no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that he turn from his way and live.

℟. Quia benígnus et miséricors est, et præstábilis super malítia Dóminus Deus noster.

℟. For the Lord our God is gracious, and merciful, and repenteth Him of the evil.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring.

℟. Amen.

Si ergo Dóminus nec ea volébat venúmdari in templo, quæ in templo volébat offérri, vidélicet propter stúdium avarítiæ, sive fraudis, quod próprium solet esse negotiántium fácinus: quanta putas animadversióne puníret, si invenísset ibi áliquos rísui vel vanilóquio vacántes aut álii cuílibet vítio mancipátos? Si enim ea quæ álibi líbere geri póterant, Dóminus in domo sua temporália negótia geri non pátitur: quanto magis ea quæ nusquam fíeri licet, plus cæléstis iræ meréntur, si in ǽdibus Deo sacrátis agúntur? Verum quia Spíritus Sanctus in colúmba super Dóminum appáruit, recte per colúmbas Sancti Spíritus charísmata signántur. Qui autem sunt in templo Dei hódie, qui colúmbas vendunt, nisi qui in Ecclésia prétium de impositióne manus accípiunt, per quam vidélicet impositiónem Spíritus Sanctus cǽlitus datur?

If, therefore, the Lord would not have to be sold in the temple, even such things as He willed should be offered therein, (On account, that is, of the greed or dishonesty which is often the stain of such transactions,) with what anger, suppose ye, would He visit such as He might find laughing or gossiping there, or yielding to any other sin. If the Lord suffer not to be carried on in His house such worldly business as may be freely done elsewhere, how much more shall such things as ought never to be done anywhere, draw down the anger of God if they be done in His own holy house. Lastly the Holy Ghost came down upon the Lord in the shape of a dove, and by doves therefore may be signified the gifts of that Holy Spirit. They, then, to this day sell doves in the temple of God, who take money in the Church for the laying on of their hands, whereby the Holy Ghost is given from heaven.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

* Ut in die resurrectiónis cum Dómino gloriémur.

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.

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.

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

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 12:38-50

Matt 12:38-50

In illo témpore: Respondérunt Iesu quidam de scribis et pharisǽis, dicéntes: Magíster, vólumus a te signum vidére. Et réliqua.

In that time, some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master, we would see a sign from thee. Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 7 in Lucæ cap. 11

7th Bk. on Luke, ch. xii

Iudæórum plebe damnáta, Ecclésiæ mystérium evidénter exprímitur, quæ in Ninivítis per pœniténtiam, et in regína Austri per stúdium percipiéndæ sapiéntiæ, de totíus orbis fínibus congregátur, ut pacífici Salomónis verba cognóscat. Regína plane, cuius regnum est indivísum, de divérsis et distántibus pópulis in unum corpus assúrgens.

After the condemnation of the Jewish people, the mystery of the Church is plainly declared in the figures of the repentant Ninevites, and of the Queen of the South. Like that Queen, the Church cometh from the uttermost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of the true Solomon, the Prince of Peace. A Queen she is, and a Queen of one indivisible realm, wrought into one body out of all nations, however diverse and distant.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Scíndite corda vestra, et non vestiménta vestra: et convertímini ad Dóminum Deum vestrum:

℟. Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God;

* Quia benígnus et miséricors est.

* For He is gracious and merciful.

℣. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius.

℣. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him.

℟. Quia benígnus et miséricors est.

℟. For He is gracious and merciful.

℣. 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.

Itaque sacraméntum illud magnum est de Christo et Ecclésia. Sed tamen hoc maius est, quia illud in figúra ante præcéssit, nunc autem plenum in veritáte mystérium est. Illic enim Sálomon typus, hic autem Christus in suo córpore est. Ex duóbus ígitur constat Ecclésia: ut aut peccáre nésciat, aut peccáre désinat. Pœniténtia enim delíctum ábolet, sapiéntia cavet.

And thus cometh that great mystery of Christ and the Church, a mystery more excellent now in the fulness of truth, than in the ancient type. For there they had in Solomon only a type of that which Christ is now in His own Person. And the Church is of two classes, whereof the one knoweth not how to sin, and the other sinneth no more. To wash away sin is the work of repentance, to eschew it that of wisdom.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Frange esuriénti panem tuum, et egénos vagósque induc in domum tuam:

℟. Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor and the wanderer to thine house.

* Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

* Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

℣. Cum víderis nudum, óperi eum, et carnem tuam ne despéxeris.

℣. When thou seest the naked, cover him; and hide not thyself from thine own flesh.

℟. Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

Céterum Ionæ signum, ut typus Domínicæ passiónis, ita étiam grávium, quæ Iudǽi commíserint, testificátio peccatórum est. Simul advértere licet et maiestátis oráculum, et pietátis indícium. Namque Ninivitárum exémplo et denuntiátur supplícium, et remédium demonstrátur. Unde étiam Iudǽi debent non desperáre indulgéntiam, si velint ágere pœniténtiam.

Lastly, the sign of the Prophet Jonas, as it was a figure of the Lord's sufferings, was also a witness to the gravity of those sins which the Jews committed. At the same time, we see in these words of the Lord a declaration at once of His power, and of His love; for, by turning our eyes on the Ninevites, He showeth us a way of escape, while He setteth before us the horror of what will otherwise be our punishment. Even the Jews need not cease to hope for pardon, if only they would repent.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Abscóndite eleemósynam in sinu páuperum, et ipsa orábit pro vobis ad Dóminum:

℟. Shut up alms in the breast of the poor, and it shall plead for you with the Lord.

* Quia sicut aqua extínguit ignem, ita eleemósyna extínguit peccátum.

* For, as water will quench fire, so alms maketh an atonement for sins.

℣. Date eleemósynam, et ecce ómnia munda sunt vobis.

℣. Give alms, and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

℟. Quia sicut aqua extínguit ignem, ita eleemósyna extínguit peccátum.

In that time, Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Liber 2 Comm. in cap. 15. Matthæi

Bk. ii Comm. on Matth. xv

Scribis et pharisǽis calumniatóribus derelíctis, transgréditur in partes Tyri et Sidónis, ut Týrios Sidoniósque curáret. Múlier autem Chananǽa egréditur de fínibus prístinis, ut clamans fíliæ ímpetret sanitátem. Obsérva quod in quintodécimo loco fília Chananǽæ sanétur. Miserére mei, Dómine, Fili David. Inde novit vocáre Fílium David, quia egréssa iam fúerat de fínibus suis, et errórem Tyriórum ac Sidoniórum loci et fídei commutatióne dimíserat.

Christ leaveth the Scribes and Pharisees who had spoken falsely against Him, and goeth into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, that He may heal the Tyrians and Sidonians. But a woman of Canaan cometh to Him out of the land He had left, and crieth to Him to give health to her daughter. Remark that the case of the daughter of this woman of Canaan is the fifteenth case of healing. Have mercy on me, O Lord, Thou Son of David! She knew that He was to be called Son of David because she was come out of His own country, and had left the errors of the Tyrians and Sidonians when she changed her home and her faith.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tribulárer, si nescírem misericórdias tuas, Dómine; tu dixísti: Nolo mortem peccatóris, sed ut magis convertátur et vivat:

℟. I had been troubled, but that I knew thy mercy, O Lord; Thou hast said: I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that he turn from his way and live.

* Qui Chananǽam et publicánum vocásti ad pœniténtiam.

* O Thou, Who didst call the Canaanite woman and the Publican unto repentance!

℣. Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo, consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.

℣. In the multitude of the sorrows within my heart, thy comforts delight my soul.

℟. Qui Chananǽam et publicánum vocásti ad pœniténtiam.

℟. O Thou Who didst call the Canaanite woman and the Publican unto repentance!

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Fília mea male a dæmónio vexátur. Ego fíliam Chananǽæ puto ánimas esse credéntium, quæ male a dæmónio vexabántur, ignorántes Creatórem, et adorántes lápidem. Qui non respóndit ei verbum: non de supérbia pharisáica, nec de scribárum supercílio: sed ne ipse senténtiæ suæ viderétur esse contrárius, per quam iússerat: In viam géntium ne abiéritis, et in civitátes Samaritanórum ne intravéritis. Nolébat enim occasiónem calumniatóribus dare: perfectámque salútem géntium passiónis et resurrectiónis témpori reservábat.

My daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. I think that the daughter of this woman of Canaan, (whom the Lord at length delivered,) was a figure of the souls of such as now believe, but were once grievously vexed by the devil, knowing not Him Who made them, and bowing down to stocks and stones. But He answered not a word not because He was puffed up with the pride of the Pharisees, or shared the high looks of the Scribes, but that He might fulfil His own word that He had spoken, saying: Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. Matth. x. 5. He would not give an occasion to such as spoke falsely against Him, and He kept back perfect salvation from the Gentiles until such time as He should have suffered and risen again.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. In ómnibus exhibeámus nosmetípsos sicut Dei minístros in multa patiéntia:

℟. In all things let us approve ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience;

* Ut non vituperétur ministérium nostrum.

* That our ministry be not blamed.

℣. Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis: commendémus nosmetípsos in multa patiéntia.

℣. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation: let us approve ourselves in much patience.

℟. Ut non vituperétur ministérium nostrum.

℟. That our ministry be not blamed.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Et accedéntes discípuli eius, rogábant eum, dicéntes: Dimítte eam, quia clamat post nos. Discípuli illo adhuc témpore mystéria Dómini nesciéntes, vel misericórdia commóti, rogábant pro Chananǽa mulíere, quam alter Evangelísta Syrophœníssam appéllat: vel importunitáte eius carére cupiéntes, quia non ut cleméntem, sed ut durum médicum crébrius inclamáret. Ipse aútem respóndens ait: Non sum missus, nisi ad oves quæ periérunt domus Israël. Non quo et ad gentes non missus sit, sed quo primum missus sit ad Israël: ut illis non recipiéntibus Evangélium, iusta fíeret ad gentes transmigrátio.

And His disciples came and besought Him, saying: Send her away; for she crieth after us. The disciples, knowing not as yet the mysterious things of the Lord, said this, either because they were moved with compassion and so interceded for this Canaanite woman, whom another Evangelist calleth a Syrophoenician, Mark vii. 26, or because she was crying out that the Lord was an hard, instead of a merciful physician, and they desired to be rid of her clamour. But He answered and said: I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel, not that He was not sent unto the Gentiles, but because it was to Israel in the first instance that He was sent, whom refusing the Gospel, He might justly pass away from, and go to the Gentiles.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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.

72:1 How good is God to Israel, * to them that are of a right heart!

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:

72:11 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.

72:14 And I have been scourged all the day; * and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.

72:15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce, natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.

72:16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:

72:16 I studied that I might know this thing, * it is a labour in my sight:

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:

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 Ioánnem

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 5:1-15

John 5:1-15

In illo témpore: Erat dies festus Iudæórum, et ascéndit Iesus Ierosólymam. Et réliqua.

In that time was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo

Tractatus 17 in Ioannem, post initium

17th Tract on John

Videámus quid volúerit significáre in illo uno, quem étiam ipse servans unitátis mystérium, de tot languéntibus unum sanáre dignátus est. Invénit in annis eius númerum quemdam languóris: trigínta et octo annos habébat in infirmitáte. Hic númerus quómodo magis ad languórem pertíneat, quam ad sanitátem, paulo diligéntius exponéndum est. Inténtos vos volo: áderit Dóminus, ut cóngrue loquar, et sufficiénter audiátis. Quadragenárius númerus sacrátus nobis in quadam perfectióne commendátur; notum esse árbitror caritáti vestræ: testántur sæpíssime divínæ Scriptúræ: ieiúnium hoc número consecrátum esse, bene nostis. Nam et Móyses quadragínta diébus ieiunávit, et Elías tótidem: et ipse Dóminus noster et Salvátor Iesus Christus hunc ieiúnii númerum implévit. Per Móysen significátur Lex, per Elíam significántur Prophétæ, per Dóminum significátur Evangélium. Ideo in illo monte tres apparuérunt, ubi se discípulis osténdit in claritáte vultus et vestis suæ: appáruit enim médius inter Móysen et Elíam, tamquam Evangélium testimónium habéret a Lege et Prophétis.

Let us see what is mystically signified by that one infirm man whom alone the Lord, keeping to a mysterious unity, chose out of so many sufferers, to be the subject of His healing power. He found in him a certain number of years of sickness. He had had an infirmity thirty and eight years. How this number is proper rather to weakness than to health, will now be the subject of a few careful remarks. I bespeak your attention; the Lord will be present, that I may speak fitly, and you may understand. The number forty is put before us as hallowed, and, in a way, perfect. I think that your love knoweth this God's Scriptures often and; often witness it. Ye well know that a Fast of this number of days is hallowed. Moses fasted forty days. Elias did the same. And our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself fasted this number of days complete. Moses representeth the Law, Elias the Prophets, and the Lord the Gospel. And therefore these three appeared on the Mount of the Transfiguration. There the Lord showed Himself to His disciples with His Face shining as the sun, and His raiment glistering; and He stood between Moses and Elias; as it were, the Gospel receiving testimony, on the one hand from the Law, and, on the other, from the Prophets.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Emendémus in mélius, quæ ignoránter peccávimus: ne súbito præoccupáti die mortis, quærámus spátium pœniténtiæ, et inveníre non possímus:

℟. Let us amend for the better in that wherein we have sinned unknowingly, or ever the day of death suddenly prevent us, and we seek a place of repentance, and find none.

* Atténde, Dómine, et miserére, quia peccávimus tibi.

* Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.

℣. Adiuva nos, Deus salutáris noster, et propter honórem nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos.

℣. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the glory of thy Name deliver us, O Lord.

℟. Atténde, Dómine, et miserére, quia peccávimus tibi.

Sive ergo in Lege, sive in Prophétis, sive in Evangélio, quadragenárius númerus nobis in ieiúnio commendátur. Ieiúnium autem magnum et generále est, abstinére ab iniquitátibus et illícitis voluptátibus sǽculi, quod est perféctum ieiúnium: Ut abnegántes impietátem et sæculáres cupiditátes, temperánter et iuste et pie vivámus in hoc sǽculo. Huic ieiúnio quam mercédem addit Apóstolus? Séquitur et dicit: Exspectántes illam beátam spem, et manifestatiónem glóriæ beáti Dei et Salvatóris nostri Iesu Christi. In hoc ergo sǽculo quasi quadragésimam abstinéntiæ celebrámus, cum bene vívimus, cum ab iniquitátibus et ab illícitis voluptátibus abstinémus: sed quia hæc abstinéntia sine mercéde non erit, exspectámus beátam illam spem, et revelatiónem glóriæ magni Dei et Salvatóris nostri Iesu Christi. In illa spe, cum fúerit de spe facta res, acceptúri sumus mercédem denárium. Ipsa enim merces rédditur operáriis in vínea laborántibus, secúndum Evangélium, quod vos credo reminísci: neque enim ómnia commemoránda sunt tamquam rúdibus et imperítis. Denárius ergo, qui accépit nomen a número decem, rédditur, et coniúnctus quadragenário fit quinquagenárius: unde cum labóre celebrámus Quadragésimam ante Pascha; cum lætítia vero, tamquam accépta mercéde, Quinquagésimam post Pascha.

Whether, therefore, it be in the Law, or in the Prophets, or in the Gospel, the number of forty is recommended to us for Fast-days. The great and general Fast is this to abstain from the iniquity of the world, and her forbidden pleasures. This is the perfect Fast, that, denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. After such a Fast, what is the Feast that followeth? Hear what the Apostle saith in continuation Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Titus ii. 12, 13. We, then, make our pilgrimage in this world a Lent, by living good lives, and abstaining from her iniquities and her forbidden pleasures. But at the end of this life-long Lent there will be an Easter indeed. We look for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ When that hope is realised, when that faith is swallowed up in knowledge, then indeed shall we receive every man a penny. In good sooth, it is true that every labourer in the vineyard will get his wages witness that Gospel which I believe ye have not forgotten, Matth. xx. 116 and which it is not my business to quote again as if ye were ignorant children. Now, the word used in the original for this penny which the labourers received is denarion. And the derivation of the word denarion is the numeral decem, ten. There are forty days in Lent, and if we add ten, we get fifty. So do we toil in fasting for the forty days of Lent before Easter, and, then, when we have, as it were, received our reward, we keep holiday for the fifty days of Eastertide.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius:

℟. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him;

* Quia benígnus et miséricors est, et præstábilis super malítia Dóminus Deus noster.

* For the Lord our God is gracious, and merciful, and repenteth Him of the evil.

℣. Non vult Dóminus mortem peccatóris, sed ut convertátur et vivat.

℣. The Lord hath no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that he turn from his way and live.

℟. Quia benígnus et miséricors est, et præstábilis super malítia Dóminus Deus noster.

Mementóte quod proposúerim númerum trigínta octo annórum in illo lánguido. Volo expónere, quare númerus ille trigésimus et octávus, languóris sit pótius quam sanitátis. Ergo, ut dicébam, cáritas implet Legem: ad plenitúdinem Legis in ómnibus opéribus pértinet quadragenárius númerus. In caritáte autem duo præcépta nobis commendántur: Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota ánima tua, et ex tota mente tua: et díliges próximum tuum sicut teípsum. In his duóbus præcéptis tota Lex pendet, et Prophétæ. Mérito et illa vídua omnes facultátes suas, duo minúta misit in dona Dei: mérito et pro illo lánguido a latrónibus sauciáto stabulárius duos nummos accépit, unde sanarétur: mérito apud Samaritános bíduum fecit Iesus, ut eos caritáte firmáret. Binário ergo isto número cum áliquid boni significátur, máxime bipertíta cáritas commendátur. Si ergo quadragenárius númerus habet perfectiónem Legis, et Lex non implétur nisi in gémino præcépto caritátis: quid miráris, quia languébat, qui ad quadragínta, duo minus habébat?

Remember how I remarked, that the man healed by our Lord at the pool of Bethesda had had an infirmity thirty and eight years. I wish to explain why this number of thirty-eight is proper rather to weakness than to health. Love is the fulfilling of the law Rom. xiii. 10; to the fulfilling of the law belongeth in every work the number forty. But in love we have given us two precepts Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matth. xxii. 37-40. When the widow gave all she had for an offering to God she gave two mites Mark xii. 42; the inn-keeper received two pence wherewith to cure him that had fallen among thieves Luke x. 35; Jesus abode for two days among the Samaritans John iv. 40, that He might establish them in love. When, then, anything good is spoken of as two, the two great divisions of love are the chief mystic interpretation.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 17:1-9

Matt 17:1-9

In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et Ioánnem fratrem eius, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And so on.

Homilia de Transfiguratione Domini

On the Transfiguration of the Lord

Evangélica lectio, dilectíssimi, quæ per aures córporis interiórem méntium nostrárum pulsávit audítum, ad magni sacraménti nos intellegéntiam vocat: quam, aspiránte grátia Dei, facílius assequémur, si consideratiónem nostram ad ea, quæ paulo supérius sunt narráta, referámus. Salvátor enim humáni géneris Iesus Christus, condens eam fidem, quæ et ímpios ad iustítiam, et mórtuos révocat ad vitam, ad hoc discípulos suos doctrínæ mónitis, et óperum miráculis imbuébat, ut idem Christus et Unigénitus Dei, et hóminis Fílius crederétur. Nam unum horum sine áltero non próderat ad salútem: et æquális erat perículi, Dóminum Iesum Christum aut Deum tantúmmodo sine hómine, aut sine Deo solum hóminem credidísse: cum utrúmque esset páriter confiténdum: quia sicut Deo vera humánitas, ita hómini ínerat vera divínitas.

Dearly beloved brethren, the Lesson from the Holy Gospel which, entering in by our bodily ears, hath knocked at the door of our inner mind, calleth us to understand a great mystery. This, by the grace of God, we shall the more readily do, if we return to consider what hath been told us just before. The Saviour of mankind, even Jesus Christ, laying the foundations of that faith whereby the ungodly are called to righteousness and the dead to life, instilled into the minds of His disciples, both by the voice of His teaching and the wonder of His works, that they should believe Him, the one Christ, to be both the Only-begotten Son of God and the Son of man. Had they believed Him one of these and not the other, it had availed them nothing to salvation; and the danger was equally great, of holding the Lord Jesus Christ to be God without the Manhood, or Man only without the Godhead, since we are constrained to acknowledge that He is perfect God and perfect Man, and that as there is in the Godhead perfect Manhood, so there is in the Manhood perfect Godhead.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Scíndite corda vestra, et non vestiménta vestra: et convertímini ad Dóminum Deum vestrum:

℟. Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God;

* Quia benígnus et miséricors est.

* For He is gracious and merciful.

℣. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius.

℣. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him.

℟. Quia benígnus et miséricors est.

℟. For He is gracious and merciful.

℣. 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.

Ad confírmandam ergo huius fídei salubérrimam cognitiónem interrogáverat discípulos suos Dóminus, inter divérsas aliórum opiniónes quid ipsi de eo créderent, quidve sentírent. Ubi Petrus Apóstolus, per revelatiónem summi Patris corpórea súperans, et humána transcéndens, vidit mentis óculis Fílium Dei vivi, et conféssus est glóriam Deitátis; quia non ad solam respéxit substántiam carnis et sánguinis: tantúmque in hac fídei sublimitáte complácuit, ut beatitúdinis felicitáte donátus, sacram inviolábilis petræ accíperet firmitátem: super quam fundáta Ecclésia, portis ínferi et mortis légibus prævaléret: nec in solvéndis aut ligándis quorumcúmque causis áliud ratum esset in cælis, quam quod Petri sedísset arbítrio.

To strengthen, therefore, the saving knowledge of this faith, the Lord had asked His disciples what, among the differing opinions of men, it was their own belief and judgment as to Who He was. Then did the Apostle Peter, by the revelation of That Father Who is above all, rising above fleshly things, yea, outstripping the thoughts of men, then did he fix the eyes of his mind upon the Son of the living God, and confess the glory of the Godhead, for he looked not on the substance of the flesh and blood only. And in all the exaltation of this faith so well did he please God, that he was gifted with that joyous blessing, the hallowed establishment of that impregnable rock, whereon the Church being founded, should prevail against the gates of hell and the laws of death; neither, when anything is to be bound or loosed, is any bound or loosed in heaven, otherwise than as the judgment of Peter hath bound or loosed it upon earth.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Frange esuriénti panem tuum, et egénos vagósque induc in domum tuam:

℟. Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor and the wanderer to thine house.

* Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

* Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

℣. Cum víderis nudum, óperi eum, et carnem tuam ne despéxeris.

℣. When thou seest the naked, cover him; and hide not thyself from thine own flesh.

℟. Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et anteíbit fáciem tuam iustítia tua.

℟. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy righteousness shall go before thee.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Hæc autem, dilectíssimi, laudátæ intellegéntiæ celsitúdo instruénda erat de inferióris substántiæ sacraménto: ne apostólica fides ad glóriam confiténdæ in Christo Deitátis evécta, infirmitátis nostræ receptiónem indígnam impassíbili Deo atque incóngruam iudicáret: et ita iam in Christo humánam créderet glorificátam esse natúram, ut nec supplício posset áffici, nec morte dissólvi. Et ídeo dicénte Dómino, quod oportéret eum ire Ierosólymam, et multa pati a senióribus et scribis, ac princípibus sacerdótum, et occídi, et tértia die resúrgere: cum beátus Petrus, qui supérno illustrátus lúmine, de ardentíssima Fílii Dei confessióne fervébat, contumélias illusiónum et crudelíssimæ mortis oppróbrium religióso, ut putábat, et líbero fastídio respuísset; benígna a Iesu increpatióne corréptus, et ad cupiditátem participándæ cum eo passiónis animátus est.

But, dearly beloved brethren, it behoved that the height of this understanding, which the Lord praised, should rest upon a foundation, and that foundation, the mystery of the lower nature, lest the faith of the Apostle, carried away by the glorious acknowledgment of the Godhead in Christ, should deem it unworthy and unnatural for the impassible God to take into Himself the frailty of our nature; and should thus believe that in Christ the Manhood had been so glorified as to be no longer able to suffer pain, or be dissolved in death. And therefore it was that, when the Lord said how that He must go up unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and rise again the third day, and the blessed Peter, bright with heavenly illumination, and still glowing from the passionate acknowledgment of the Divine Sonship, by a natural, and, as seemed to him, a godly shrinking, could not bear the mention of mockery and insult and a cruel death, he was corrected by the merciful rebuke of Jesus, and moved rather to desire to be a partaker in the sufferings of his Master.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

* Quia sicut aqua extínguit ignem, ita eleemósyna extínguit peccátum.

* For, as water will quench fire, so alms maketh an atonement for sins.

℣. Date eleemósynam, et ecce ómnia munda sunt vobis.

℣. Give alms, and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

℟. Quia sicut aqua extínguit ignem, ita eleemósyna extínguit peccátum.

Gen 27:11-20

Gen 27:11-20

11 Cui ille respóndit: Nosti quod Esau frater meus homo pilósus sit, et ego lenis:

11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.

12 Si attractáverit me pater meus, et sénserit, tímeo ne putet sibi voluísse illúdere, et indúcam super me maledictiónem pro benedictióne.

12 If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.

13 Ad quem mater: In me sit, ait, ista maledíctio, fili mi: tantum audi vocem meam, et pergens, affer quæ dixi.

13 And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.

14 Abiit, et áttulit, dedítque matri. Parávit illa cibos, sicut velle nóverat patrem illíus.

14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.

15 Et véstibus Esau valde bonis, quas apud se habébat domi, índuit eum:

15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:

16 Pelliculásque hædórum circúmdedit mánibus, et colli nuda protéxit.

16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.

17 Dedítque pulméntum, et panes, quos cóxerat, trádidit.

17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.

18 Quibus illátis, dixit: Pater mi! At ille respóndit: Audio. Quis es tu, fili mi?

18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?

19 Dixítque Iacob: Ego sum primogénitus tuus Esau: feci sicut præcepísti mihi: surge, sede, et cómede de venatióne mea, ut benedícat mihi ánima tua.

19 And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

20 Rursúmque Isaac ad fílium suum: Quómodo, inquit, tam cito inveníre potuísti, fili mi? Qui respóndit: Volúntas Dei fuit ut cito occúrreret mihi quod volébam.

20 And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way.

Gen 27:21-29

21 Dixítque Isaac: Accéde huc ut tangam te, fili mi, et probem utrum tu sis fílius meus Esau, an non.

21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.

22 Accéssit ille ad patrem, et, palpáto eo, dixit Isaac: Vox quidem, vox Iacob est: sed manus, manus sunt Esau.

22 He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands are the hands of Esau.

23 Et non cognóvit eum, quia pilósæ manus similitúdinem maióris exprésserant. Benedícens ergo illi,

23 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.

24 Ait: Tu es fílius meus Esau? Respóndit: Ego sum.

25 Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,

25 At ille: Affer mihi, inquit, cibos de venatióne tua, fili mi, ut benedícat tibi ánima mea. Quos cum oblátos comedísset, óbtulit ei étiam vinum. Quo hausto,

26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.

26 Dixit ad eum: Accéde ad me, et da mihi ósculum, fili mi.

27 He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which Lord hath blessed.

27 Accéssit, et osculátus est eum. Statímque ut sensit vestimentórum illíus flagrántiam, benedícens illi, ait: Ecce odor fílii mei sicut odor agri pleni, cui benedíxit Dóminus.

28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.

28 Det tibi Deus de rore cæli, et de pinguédine terræ abundántiam fruménti et vini.

29 And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let they mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.

29 Et sérviant tibi pópuli, et adórent te tribus: esto dóminus fratrum tuórum, et incurvéntur ante te fílii matris tuæ. Qui maledíxerit tibi, sit ille maledíctus: et qui benedíxerit tibi, benedictiónibus repleátur.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 17:1-9

Matt 17:1-9

In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et Ioánnem fratrem eius, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And so on.

De Homilía sancti Leónis Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Leo the Great.

Ex Homil. de Transfiguratione Domini

From a homily on the Transfiguration of the Lord

Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et fratrem eius Ioánnem, et conscénso cum eis seórsum monte præcélso, claritátem suæ glóriæ demonstrávit: quia licet intellexíssent in eo maiestátem Dei, ipsíus tamen córporis, quo divínitas tegebátur, poténtiam nesciébant. Et ídeo próprie signantérque promíserat, quosdam de astántibus discípulis non prius gustáre mortem, quam vidérent Fílium hóminis veniéntem in regno suo, id est, in régia claritáte, quam spiritáliter ad natúram suscépti hóminis pertinéntem, his tribus viris vóluit esse conspícuam. Nam illam ipsíus Deitátis ineffábilem et inaccessíbilem visiónem, quæ in ætérnam vitam mundis corde servátur, nullo modo mortáli adhuc carne circúmdati intuéri póterant et vidére.

Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an exceeding high mountain apart, and manifested forth the brightness of His glory. Hitherto, though they understood that there was in Him the Majesty of God, they knew not the power of that Body which veiled the Godhead. And therefore He had individually and markedly promised to some of the disciples that had stood by Him Matth. xvi. 28 that they should “not taste of death till they had seen the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”, that is, in the kingly splendour, which is the right of the Manhood taken into God, and which He willed to make visible to those three men. This it was that they saw, for the unspeakable and unapproachable vision of the Godhead Himself which will be the everlasting life of the pure in heart, Matth. v. 8 can no man, who is still burdened with a dying body, see and live.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Cum audísset Iacob quod Esau veníret contra eum, divísit fílios suos et uxóres, dicens: Si percússerit Esau unam turmam, salvábitur áltera.

℟. When Jacob heard that Esau came to meet him, he divided his sons and his wives, saying: If Esau smite the one company, then the other shall escape.

* Líbera me, Dómine, qui dixísti mihi: * Multiplicábo semen tuum sicut stellas cæli, et sicut arénam maris, quæ præ multitúdine numerári non potest.

* Deliver me, O Lord, Who saidst unto me: I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

℣. Dómine, qui dixísti mihi, Revértere in terram nativitátis tuæ: Dómine, qui pascis me a iuventúte mea.

℣. O Lord, Who saidst unto me: Return unto thy country O Lord, Which feedest me still from my youth up.

℟. Líbera me, Dómine, qui dixísti mihi.

℟. Deliver me, O Lord, Who saidst unto me:

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

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 8:21-29

John 8:21-29

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus turbis Iudæórum: Ego vado, et quærétis me, et in peccáto vestro moriémini. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to the multitude of Jews: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily on this passage by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Tract. 38 in Ioann. post init.

Tract 38 on John

Locútus est Dóminus Iudǽis, dicens: Ego vado. Christo enim Dómino mors proféctio fuit illo, unde vénerat, et unde non discésserat. Ego, inquit, vado, et quærétis me, non desidério, sed ódio. Nam illum póstea quam abscéssit ab óculis hóminum, inquisiérunt et qui óderant, et qui amábant: illi persequéndo, isti habére cupiéndo. In Psalmis ait ipse Dóminus per Prophétam: Périit fuga a me, et non est qui requírat ánimam meam. Et íterum ait álio loco in Psalmo: Confundántur et revereántur requiréntes ánimam meam.

The Lord spake unto the Jews, saying: I go My way for, to the Lord Christ, death was a departure to that place whence He had come, and whence He had never departed. I go My way, saith He, and ye shall seek Me not from love, but from hatred. Yea after He had withdrawn Himself from the sight of men, two classes sought Him, even they that loved, and they that hated Him; the one because they longed for His presence, the other because they were fain to hunt Him down. In the Psalms the Lord Himself saith by His Prophet: Refuge failed me, and no man cared for my soul. Ps. cxli. 5. And again He said in another Psalm: Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul. Ps. xxxiv.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dum iret Iacob de Bersabée, et pérgeret Haram, locútus est ei Dóminus, dicens:

℟. While as Jacob went from Beersheba, and hasted unto Haran, the Lord spake unto him, saying

* Terram, in qua dormis, tibi dabo, et sémini tuo.

* The land whereon thou sleepest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.

℣. Ædificávit ex lapídibus altáre in honórem Dómini, fundens óleum désuper: et benedíxit eum Deus, dicens.

℣. He built an altar of stones unto the Name of the Lord, and poured oil upon the top of it; and God blessed him and said,:

℟. Terram, in qua dormis, tibi dabo, et sémini tuo.

℟. The land whereon thou sleepest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.

℣. 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.

Reading 2

Culpávit, qui non requírerent: damnávit requiréntes. Bonum est enim quǽrere ánimam Christi, sed quo modo eam quæsiérunt discípuli: et malum est quǽrere ánimam Christi, sed quo modo eam Iudǽi quæsiérunt: illi enim ut habérent, isti ut pérderent. Dénique istis, quia sic quærébant more malo, corde pervérso, quid secutus adiúnxit? Quærétis me; et ne putétis, quia bene me quærétis, in peccáto vestro moriémini. Hoc est Christum male quǽrere, in peccáto suo mori: hoc est illum odísse, per quem possit solum salvus esse.

Thus doth He blame them that seek not, and condemn such as seek. Yea, it is a good thing to seek the soul of Christ, as the disciples sought it; and an evil thing to seek it, as the Jews sought it; the first sought it to possess, the second to destroy it. What then doth He bid us know will be the reward of such as seek it evilly in a perverse heart? Ye shall seek Me, and lest ye think that ye shall do well so to seek Me, I tell you that ye shall die in your sins. To seek Christ with bad intent, is as much as to die in sin, for it is to hate Him through Whom alone we can be saved.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Appáruit Deus Iacob, et benedíxit eum, et dixit: Ego sum Deus Bethel, ubi unxísti lápidem, et votum vovísti mihi:

℟. God appeared unto Jacob, and blessed him, and said I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto Me.

* Créscere te fáciam, et multiplicábo te.

* I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee.

℣. Vere Dóminus est in loco isto, et ego nesciébam.

℣. Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.

℟. Créscere te fáciam, et multiplicábo te.

℟. I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee.

Cum enim hómines, quorum spes in Deo est, non débeant mala réddere nec pro malis; reddébant isti mala pro bonis. Prænuntiávit ergo illis Dóminus, dixítque senténtiam prǽscius, quod in suo peccáto moreréntur. Deínde adiúnxit: Quo ego vado, vos non potéstis veníre. Hoc et discípulis suis álio loco dixit: nec tamen eis dixit: In peccáto vestro moriémini. Quid autem dixit? quod et istis: Quo ego vado, vos non potéstis veníre. Non ábstulit spem, sed prædíxit dilatiónem. Quando enim hoc discípulis Dóminus loquebátur, tunc non póterant veníre, quo ille ibat, sed póstea ventúri erant: isti autem nunquam, quibus prǽscius dixit, In peccáto vestro moriémini.

Whereas men whose hope is in God ought to return good even for evil, those men returned evil for good. The Lord therefore told them beforehand, and, because He knew it, He let them know their coming end, how that they should die in their sins. Then He said farther Whither I go, ye cannot come. This He said in another place xiii. 33 to His disciples, but He never said to them: Ye shall die in your sins. What said He? The same words as to the Jews: Whither I go, ye cannot come. Yet, to the disciples, these words only deferred, they cut not away hope for they, though for a little while they could not come whither He was to go, were yet in the end to go there. Not so they, to whom He foretold and said: Ye shall die in your sins.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

37:12 Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam.

37:12 And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they that sought my soul used violence.

37:13 Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur.

37:13 And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, * and studied deceits all the day long.

38:5 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.

38:6 Ecce mensurábiles posuísti dies meos: * et substántia mea tamquam níhilum ante te.

38:6 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: * and my substance is as nothing before thee.

38:6 Verúmtamen univérsa vánitas, * omnis homo vivens.

38:6 And indeed all things are vanity: * every man living.

38:7 Verúmtamen in imágine pertránsit homo: * sed et frustra conturbátur.

38:8 Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea? Nonne Dóminus? * Et substántia mea apud te est.

38:8 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with thee.

38:9 Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me: * oppróbrium insipiénti dedísti me.

38:9 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: * thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.

38:10 Obmútui, et non apérui os meum, quóniam tu fecísti: * ámove a me plagas tuas.

38:10 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it: * remove thy scourges from me.

38:12 A fortitúdine manus tuæ ego deféci in increpatiónibus: * propter iniquitátem corripuísti hóminem.

38:12 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * thou hast corrected man for iniquity.

38:12 Et tabéscere fecísti sicut aráneam ánimam eius: * verúmtamen vane conturbátur omnis homo.

38:12 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.

38:13 Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe lácrimas meas.

38:13 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.

38:13 Ne síleas: quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, et peregrínus, * sicut omnes patres mei.

38:13 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, * and a sojourner as all my fathers were.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 23:1-12

Matt 23:1-12

In illo témpore: Locútus est Iesus ad turbas, et ad discípulos suos, dicens: Super cáthedram Móysi sedérunt scribæ et pharisǽi. Omnia ergo quæcúmque díxerint vobis, serváte, et fácite: secúndum ópera vero eórum nolíte fácere. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not. And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Lib. 4 Comment. in cap. 23 Matthæi

Bk. iv Comm. on Matth. xxiii

Quid mansuétius, quid benígnius Dómino? Tentátur a pharisǽis, confringúntur insídiæ eórum, et secúndum Psalmístam: Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: et nihilóminus propter sacerdótii et nóminis dignitátem hortátur pópulos, ut subiciántur eis, non ópera, sed doctrínam considerántes. Quod autem ait, Super cáthedram Móysi sedérunt scribæ et pharisǽi: per cáthedram, doctrínam Legis osténdit. Ergo et illud quod dícitur in Psalmo: In cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit: et, Cáthedras vendéntium colúmbas evértit: doctrínam debémus accípere.

Was there ever man gentler and kinder than the Lord? The Pharisees tempted Him; their craft was confounded, and, in the words of the Psalmist, The arrows of babes have pierced them, Ps. lxiii. 8, and nevertheless, because of the dignity of their priesthood and name, He exhorteth the people to be subject to them, by doing according to their words, though not according to their works. By the words “Moses' seat” we are to understand the teaching of the law. Thus also must we mystically take: “Sitteth in the seat of the scornful”, Ps. i. 1, and likewise, “overthrew the seats of them that sold doves”, Matth. xxi. 12, to describe doctrine.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dum exíret Iacob de terra sua, vidit glóriam Dei, et ait: Quam terríbilis est locus iste!

℟. As Jacob went out from his own land, he saw the glory of God, and said: How dreadful is this place.

* Non est hic áliud, nisi domus Dei, et porta cæli.

* This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.

℣. Vere Deus est in loco isto, et ego nesciébam.

℣. Surely God is in this place, and I knew it not.

℟. Non est hic áliud, nisi domus Dei, et porta cæli.

℟. This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Alligant enim ónera grávia et importabília, et impónunt in húmeros hóminum, dígito autem suo nolunt ea movére. Hoc generáliter advérsus omnes magístros, qui grávia iubent, et minóra non fáciunt. Notándum autem, quod et húmeri, et dígitus, et ónera, et víncula quibus alligántur ónera, spirituáliter intellegénda sunt. Omnia vero ópera sua fáciunt, ut videántur ab homínibus. Quicúmque ígitur ita facit quódlibet, ut videátur ab homínibus, scriba et pharisǽus est.

How they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. This is generally directed against all teachers who command things hard, and themselves do not even things easy. But it is to be remarked that the shoulders, the fingers, and the binding of the burdens, have a spiritual interpretation. But all their works they do for to be seen of men. Whosoever therefore doth anything for to be seen of men, the same is, so far, a Scribe and a Pharisee.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Si Dóminus Deus meus fúerit mecum in via ista, per quam ego ámbulo, et custodíerit me, et déderit mihi panem ad edéndum, et vestiméntum quo opériar, et revocáverit me cum salúte:

℟. If the Lord my God will be with me, in this way that I go, and will keep me, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, and will bring me again safely.

* Erit mihi Dóminus in refúgium, et lapis iste in signum.

* The Lord shall be my refuge, and this stone shall be a sign.

℣. Surgens ergo mane Iacob, tulit lápidem quem supposúerat cápiti suo, et eréxit in títulum, fundénsque óleum désuper, dixit.

℣. So Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it, and said:

℟. Erit mihi Dóminus in refúgium, et lapis iste in signum.

℟. The Lord shall be my refuge, and this shall be a sign.

Dilátant enim phylactéria sua, et magníficant fímbrias. Amant quoque primos recúbitus in cenis, et primas cáthedras in synagógis, et salutatiónes in foro, et vocári ab homínibus Rabbi. Væ nobis míseris, ad quos pharisæórum vítia transiérunt. Dóminus cum dedísset mandáta Legis per Móysen, ad extrémum íntulit: Ligábis ea in manu tua, et erunt immóta ante óculos tuos. Et est sensus: Præcépta mea sint in manu tua, ut ópere compleántur: sint ante óculos tuos, ut die ac nocte meditéris in eis. Hoc pharisǽi male interpretántes, scribébant in membránis decálogum Móysi, id est, decem verba Legis, complicántes ea et ligántes in fronte, et quasi corónam cápiti faciéntes: ut semper ante óculos moveréntur.

They make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments. And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi. Woe to us miserable sinners who have inherited the vices of the Pharisees! When the Lord had given the commandments of the law to Moses He added afterwards Thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes, Deut. vi. 8. The sense of these words is: My Law shall be in thine hand to order whatsoever thou doest, and ever before thine eyes that thou mayest meditate therein day and night. But the Pharisees, by a bad interpretation, were accustomed to write on pieces of parchment the Decalogue of Moses, that is, the Ten Words of the Law, and to tie these pieces of parchment, plaited in a peculiar manner, on their foreheads, so as to make a sort of crown round their heads, which projected in front of their eyes, and always moved before them.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

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.

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

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 20:17-28

Matt 20:17-28

In illo témpore: Ascéndens Iesus Ierosólymam, assúmpsit duódecim discípulos secréto, et ait illis: Ecce ascéndimus Ierosólymam, et Fílius hóminis tradétur princípibus sacerdótum, et scribis, et condemnábunt eum morte. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 5 de Fide ad Gratianum, cap. 2, post initium

Bk. v to Gratian, on Faith, c. ii

Consideráte, quæ mater filiórum Zebedǽi cum fíliis et pro fíliis petat: mater est útique, cui pro filiórum honóre sollícitæ, immoderátior quidem, sed tamen ignoscénda mensúra votórum est. Atque mater ætáte longǽva, stúdio religiósa, solátio destitúta, quæ tunc témporis, quando vel iuvánda, vel alénda foret válidæ prolis auxílio, abésse sibi líberos patiebátur, et voluptáti suæ mercédem sequéntium Christum prætúlerat filiórum. Qui prima voce vocáti a Dómino (ut légimus) relíctis rétibus et patre, secúti sunt eum.

Consider what it was that the mother of Zebedee's children came to Christ desiring, with, and for her sons. She was a mother, who, longing for the honour of her sons, preferred a request immoderate, and yet pardonable. She was a mother who, albeit stricken in years and comfortless, at an age when she had sore need of the strength of her offspring to help and keep her, was yet so earnest in godliness and motherly love, that she had liefer suffer the loss of her sons, that they might gain the reward of following Christ still, as we read they had already done, when, at the first call of the Lord, they left their nets and their father, iv. 21, 22.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dixit Angelus ad Iacob:

℟. The Angel said unto Jacob

* Dimítte me, auróra est. Respóndit ei: Non dimíttam te, nisi benedíxeris mihi. Et benedíxit ei in eódem loco.

* Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he blessed him there.

℣. Cumque surrexísset Iacob, ecce vir luctabátur cum eo usque mane: et cum vidéret quod eum superáre non posset, dixit ad eum.

℣. And when Jacob arose, behold there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day and, when he saw that he prevailed not, he said unto him

℟. Dimítte me, auróra est. Respóndit ei: Non dimíttam te, nisi benedíxeris mihi. Et benedíxit ei in eódem loco.

℟. Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he blessed him there.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Hæc ígitur, stúdio matérnæ sedulitátis indulgéntior, obsecrábat Salvatórem, dicens: Ut sédeant hi duo fílii mei, unus ad déxteram tuam, et alter ad sinístram in regno tuo. Etsi error, pietátis tamen error est. Nésciunt enim matérna víscera patiéntiam: etsi voti avára, tamen veniábilis cupíditas, quæ non pecúniæ est ávida, sed grátiæ. Nec inverecúnda petítio, quæ non sibi, sed líberis consulébat. Matrem consideráte, matrem cogitáte.

She, then, yielding to the intensity of her motherly love, besought the Saviour, saying, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one at thy right hand and the other at thy left hand, in thy kingdom. Although it was a mistake, it was a mistake of love. For a mother's love knoweth no moderation. Yet, although it was a greedy prayer, that was a pardonable greed, which hungered, not for riches, but for grace. Neither was that request shameless which sought, not her own good, but her children's. Remember that she was a mother. Think how that she was a mother.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Vidi Dóminum fácie ad fáciem:

℣. And he said unto me: thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name.

Considerábat Christus matris dilectiónem, quæ filiórum mercéde grandǽvam solabátur senéctam: et desidériis licet fessa matérnis, carissimórum pignórum tolerábat abséntiam. Consideráte étiam féminam, hoc est, sexum fragiliórem, quem Dóminus própria nondum confirmáverat passióne. Consideráte, inquam, Hevæ illíus primæ mulíeris herédem, transfúsa in omnes immoderátæ cupiditátis successióne labéntem: quam Dóminus adhuc próprio sánguine non redémerat, nondum inólitam afféctibus ómnium immódici contra fas honóris appeténtiam suo Christus cruóre dilúerat. Hereditário ígitur múlier delinquébat erróre.

Christ took into His consideration that mother's love of hers, which made her sons' reward the comfort of her own old age, and which could bear the loss of her loved ones, broken as she was by a mother's yearnings. Consider also that she was a woman, that is, of the weaker sex, to which the Lord had not yet given strength by His Passion. Consider, I say, that she was an heiress of Eve, and weakened by that transmission of the unbridled covetousness of the first woman, which the Lord had not yet disarmed by His Blood, even that craving for undue dignity, wherewith all our natures are imbued, and which Christ's Bloodshedding had not yet washed away. She erred indeed, but the mistake was an inherited weakness.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℟. When Jacob heard that Esau came to meet him, he divided his sons and his wives, saying: If Esau smite the one company, then the other shall escape.

* Líbera me, Dómine, qui dixísti mihi: * Multiplicábo semen tuum sicut stellas cæli, et sicut arénam maris, quæ præ multitúdine numerári non potest.

* Deliver me, O Lord, Who saidst unto me: I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

℣. Dómine, qui dixísti mihi, Revértere in terram nativitátis tuæ: Dómine, qui pascis me a iuventúte mea.

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

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.

68:27 Quóniam quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt: * et super dolórem vúlnerum meórum addidérunt.

68:27 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.

68:28 Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum: * et non intrent in iustítiam tuam.

68:28 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: * and let them not come into thy justice.

68:29 Deleántur de libro vivéntium: * et cum iustis non scribántur.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 16:19-31

Luke 16:19-31

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus pharisǽis: Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebátur púrpura et bysso: et epulabátur cotídie spléndide. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to the pharisees: There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Homilia 40 in Evangelia

40th on the Gospels

Quem, fratres caríssimi, quem dives iste, qui induebátur púrpura et bysso, et epulabátur cotídie spléndide, nisi Iudáicum pópulum signat: qui cultum vitæ extérius hábuit, qui accéptæ legis delíciis ad nitórem usus est, non ad utilitátem? Quem vero Lázarus ulcéribus plenus, nisi gentílem pópulum figuráliter éxprimit? Qui dum convérsus ad Deum peccáta confitéri sua non erúbuit, huic vulnus in cute fuit. In cutis quippe vúlnere virus a viscéribus tráhitur, et foras erúmpit.

Whom, dearly beloved brethren, whom are we to understand as signified by that rich man which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day, whom, I ask, are we to understand, but the Jewish people, who had all the outward life of religious ordinances, and who turned the treasure of the law they had received to show and not to use? What but the herd of the Gentiles is figured in Lazarus, full of sores? Whosoever turneth himself to God and is not ashamed to confess his sin, hath his sores on the skin, for in a sore on the skin breaketh out the corruption, which is drawn from within.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tolle arma tua, pháretram et arcum, et affer de venatióne tua, ut cómedam:

℟. Take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and bring me some of thy venison, that I may eat,

* Et benedícat tibi ánima mea.

* and my soul may bless thee.

℣. Cumque venátu áliquid attúleris, fac mihi inde pulméntum, ut cómedam.

℣. And when thou hast taken somewhat, make me thereof savoury meat, that I may eat.

℟. Et benedícat tibi ánima mea.

℟. And my soul may bless thee.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Quid est ergo peccatórum conféssio, nisi quædam vúlnerum rúptio? Quia peccáti virus salúbriter aperítur in confessióne, quod pestífere latébat in mente. Vúlnera étenim cutis in superfíciem trahunt humórem putrédinis. Et confiténdo peccáta, quid áliud ágimus, nisi malum, quod in nobis latébat, aperímus? Sed Lázarus vulnerátus cupiébat saturári de micis, quæ cadébant de mensa dívitis, et nemo illi dabat: quia gentílium quemque ad cognitiónem legis admíttere supérbus ille pópulus despiciébat.

What is, then, the confession of our sins but the breaking out of our sores? The corrupt matter of sin is healthily opened in confession, instead of remaining in the mind to rot it. Open sores on the skin bring the poisonous matter to the surface, and when we confess our sins, what do we but open up the evil that there is lurking in us? But Lazarus desired to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table, and no man gave unto him; even so did that proud people scorn to admit a Gentile to the knowledge of their law.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ecce odor fílii mei sicut odor agri pleni, cui benedíxit Dóminus: créscere te fáciat Deus meus sicut arénam maris:

℟. See the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed. May my God multiply thee as the sand of the sea.

* Et donet tibi de rore cæli benedictiónem.

* And give thee a blessing of the dew of heaven.

℣. Deus autem omnípotens benedícat tibi, atque multíplicet.

Qui dum doctrínam legis non ad caritátem hábuit, sed ad elatiónem, quasi de accéptis ópibus túmuit: et quia ei verba defluébant de sciéntia, quasi micæ cadébant de mensa. At contra, iacéntis páuperis vúlnera lingébant canes. Nonnúnquam solent in sacro elóquio, per canes prædicatóres intéllegi. Canum étenim lingua, vulnus dum lingit, curat: quia et doctóres sancti, dum in confessióne peccáti nostri nos ínstruunt, quasi vulnus mentis per linguam tangunt.

The teaching of the law moved them to pride, and not to love, as though they swelled with selfimportance at the thought of their riches, and the words which some Gentiles caught of their knowledge were as crumbs falling from their sumptuous table. On the other hand, the dogs came and licked the sores of the beggar that was laid at their gate. Sometimes in Holy Writ, under the figure of dogs, preachers are understood. A dog's tongue healeth the sore which it licketh, and so do holy teachers, when we confess our sins, and they speak to us, mollify by their tongues the sores of our souls.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

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.

Quintodécimo Kaléndas Aprílis Luna décima séptima Anno Dómini 2033

At Jerusalem, holy Confessor Cyril, Bishop of that see, and Doctor of the Church, who suffered many things from the Arians for the faith's sake. He was several times driven from the see, but at length fell asleep in peace, [in the year 386,] illustrious for the glory of holiness. The Ecumenical Council [of Constantinople,] in writing to Pope Damasus, gave a noble witness to the purity of his faith. We keep his feast upon the 22nd day of this present month of March.

March 18th 2033, the 17th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

Póstmodum vero, in persecutióne Décii, cum iam longǽvæ ætátis veneránda canítie præfulgéret, ductus est Cæsaréam, et clausus in cárcere, ob confessiónem Christi, martýrium complévit.

At Caesarea, in Palestine, the blessed martyr Alexander, Bishop [of Jerusalem.] He came to Jerusalem from his own city, in Cappadocia, whereof he was Bishop, in order to visit the holy places. Narcissus, who was already very old, was then ruling the Church of Jerusalem, and Alexander by the revelation of God received the government thereof, afterward, and when he himself was in the venerable glory of grey hairs he was brought to Caesarea in the persecution under the Emperor Decius, and was put in prison, and finished his testimony confessing Christ.

Augústæ sancti Narcíssi Epíscopi, qui primus in Rhǽtia Evangélium prædicávit; deínde in Hispániam proféctus est, et, cum Gerúndæ multos ad Christi fidem convertísset, ibídem, in persecutióne Diocletiáni Imperatóris, una cum Felíce Diácono, martýrii palmam accépit.

At Augsburg, the holy martyrs Narcissus, Bishop of Augsburg, and the Deacon Felix. Narcissus was the first who preached the gospel in Rhaetia. He afterwards went into Spain, and after he had brought many to believe in Christ at Girona he there received the palm of martyrdom, along with the Deacon Felix, in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian.

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.

72:5 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.

72:11 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.

77:38 Et abundávit ut avérteret iram suam: * et non accéndit omnem iram suam:

77:39 Et recordátus est quia caro sunt: * spíritus vadens et non rédiens.

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.

78:3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem, * and there was none to bury them.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 21:33-46

Matt 21:33-46

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus turbis Iudæórum, et princípibus sacerdótum parábolam hanc: Homo erat paterfamílias, qui plantávit víneam, et sepem circúmdedit ei. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus said to the multitude of Jews and the chief priests: Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 9 in cap. 20 Lucæ

Bk. ix on Luke xx

Pleríque várias significatiónes de víneæ appellatióne derívant: sed evidénter Isaías víneam Dómini Sábaoth, domum Israël esse memorávit. Hanc víneam quis álius, nisi Deus, cóndidit? Hic est ergo qui eam locávit colónis, et ipse péregre fuit: non quia ex loco ad locum proféctus est Dóminus, qui ubíque semper præsens est: sed quia est præséntior diligéntibus, negligéntibus abest. Multis tempóribus ábfuit, ne præprópera viderétur exáctio. Nam quo indulgéntior liberálitas, eo inexcusabílior pervicácia.

Many derive diverse spiritual meanings from the term vineyard, but Isaias giveth us to know that the vineyard of the Lord of Sabaoth is the house of Israel. v. 7. Who but God planted that vineyard? He it was that let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country; not that the Lord, Who is everywhere present, moveth from place to place; but because He is nigh unto them that seek Him, and from such as regard Him not He standeth afar off. For a long time He tarried away, lest He might seem to ask too early for the fruits of His vineyard. For where kindness is greatest, there ingratitude is worst.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dum exíret Iacob de terra sua, vidit glóriam Dei, et ait: Quam terríbilis est locus iste!

℟. As Jacob went out from his own land, he saw the glory of God, and said: How dreadful is this place.

* Non est hic áliud, nisi domus Dei, et porta cæli.

* This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.

℣. Vere Deus est in loco isto, et ego nesciébam.

℣. Surely God is in this place, and I knew it not.

℟. Non est hic áliud, nisi domus Dei, et porta cæli.

℟. This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.

℣. 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.

Unde bene secúndum Matthǽum habes, quia et sepem circúmdedit: hoc est, divínæ custódiæ munitióne vallávit, ne fácile spiritálium patéret incúrsibus bestiárum. Et fodit in ea tórcular. Quómodo intellégimus quid sit tórcular, nisi forte quia Psalmi pro torculáribus inscribúntur; eo quod in his mystéria Domínicæ passiónis, modo musti Sancto fervéntis Spíritu, redundántius æstuáverint? Unde ébrii putabántur, quibus Spíritus Sanctus inundábat. Ergo et hic fodit tórcular, in quod uvæ rationábilis fructus intérior spiritáli infusióne deflúeret.

Therefore it is well written in Matthew, for our instruction, that He hedged it round about, that is, He girded it with the fortifications of His own Divine protection, that it might not easily lie open to the ravages of spiritual wild beasts. And digged a wine-press in it. What sense are we to put upon the wine-press, unless it be that the Psalms are here described under that title, because in them the mysteries of the Lord's Passion flow over like new wine, working under the power of the Holy Ghost? Whence also, they upon whom the Holy Ghost was outpoured were deemed to be drunken Acts ii. 13.. God therefore digged a wine-press, whereinto the reasonable grapes of inward fruitfulness poured their spiritual richness.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Si Dóminus Deus meus fúerit mecum in via ista, per quam ego ámbulo, et custodíerit me, et déderit mihi panem ad edéndum, et vestiméntum quo opériar, et revocáverit me cum salúte:

℟. If the Lord my God will be with me, in this way that I go, and will keep me, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, and will bring me again safely.

* Erit mihi Dóminus in refúgium, et lapis iste in signum.

* The Lord shall be my refuge, and this stone shall be a sign.

℣. Surgens ergo mane Iacob, tulit lápidem quem supposúerat cápiti suo, et eréxit in títulum, fundénsque óleum désuper, dixit.

℣. So Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it, and said:

℟. Erit mihi Dóminus in refúgium, et lapis iste in signum.

℟. The Lord shall be my refuge, and this shall be a sign.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Ædificávit turrim, vérticem scílicet legis attóllens: atque ita hanc víneam munítam, instrúctam, ornátam, locávit Iudǽis. Et témpore frúctuum sérvulos misit. Bene tempus frúctuum pósuit, non provéntuum. Nullus enim fructus éxstitit Iudæórum, nullus víneæ huius provéntus, de qua Dóminus ait: Exspectávi ut fáceret uvas, fecit autem spinas. Itaque non lætítiæ vino, non spiritáli musto, sed cruénto Prophetárum sánguine torculária redundárunt.

And built a tower that is, He raised up the goodly structure of the Law. And so this His vineyard, thus fortified, furnished, and garnished, He gave over to the Jews. And when the time of the fruit drew near, He sent His servants to the husbandmen. Well doth He call it the time of the fruit, not the time of the in-gathering. For the Jews yielded Him no fruit; the Lord had no ingathering from that vineyard of which He said: When I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes. Isa. v. 4. Not that wine that maketh glad the heart of man, not with the new wine of the spirit, reeked that wine-press, but with the blood of the Prophets, brutally shed.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Erit mihi Dóminus in Deum, et lapis iste quem eréxi in títulum, vocábitur domus Dei: et de univérsis quæ déderis mihi,

℟. The Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be called God's house, and of all that Thou shalt give me;

* Décimas et hóstias pacíficas ófferam tibi.

* I will offer tithes and peace-offerings to thee.

℣. Si revérsus fúero próspere ad domum patris mei.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis

From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux.

Homil. 2 super Missus est, prope finem

2nd on Luke i. 26

Quis et qualis homo fúerit beátus Ioseph, cónice ex appellatióne, qua, licet dispensatória, méruit honorári ádeo, ut pater Dei et dictus et créditus sit; cónice et ex próprio vocábulo, quod augméntum non dúbitas interpretári. Simul et meménto magni illíus quondam Patriárchæ vénditi in Ægýpto; et scito ipsíus istum non solum vocábulum fuísse sortítum, sed et castimóniam adéptum, innocéntiam assecútum et grátiam.

What and what manner of man the blessed Joseph was, we may gather from that title wherewith, albeit only as a deputy, God deemed him fit to be honoured he was both called, and supposed to be the Father of God. We may gather it from his very name, which, being interpreted, signifieth Increase. Remember likewise that great Patriarch who was sold into Egypt, and know that the Husband of Mary not only received his name, but inherited his purity, and was likened to him in innocence and in grace.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ascéndit Ioseph a Galilǽa de civitáte Názareth in Iudǽam, in civitátem David, quæ vocátur Béthlehem:

℟. Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem

* Eo quod esset de domo et família David.

* Because he was of the house and lineage of David.

℣. Ut profiterétur cum María desponsáta sibi uxóre.

℣. To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife.

Síquidem ille Ioseph, fratérna ex invídia vénditus et ductus in Ægýptum, Christi venditiónem præfigurávit: iste Ioseph, Herodiánam invídiam fúgiens, Christum in Ægýptum portávit. Ille dómino suo fidem servans, dóminæ nóluit commiscéri: iste Dóminam suam, Dómini sui matrem, vírginem agnóscens et ipse cóntinens, fidéliter custodívit. Illi data est intellegéntia in mystériis somniórum: isti datum est cónscium fíeri atque partícipem cæléstium sacramentórum.

If then, that Joseph that was sold by his brethren through envy, and was brought down to Egypt, was a type of Christ sold by a disciple, and handed over to the Gentiles, the other Joseph flying from the envy of Herod carried Christ into Egypt. That first Joseph kept loyal to his master, and would not carnally know his master's wife; that second Joseph knew that the Lady, the Mother of his Lord, was a virgin, and he himself remained faithfully virgin toward her. To that first Joseph it was given to know dark things in interpreting of dreams; to the second Joseph it was given in sleep to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

* And be thou there until I bring thee word.

℣. Ut adimplerétur quod dictum est a Dómino per prophétam dicéntem: Ex Ægýpto vocávi Fílium meum.

Ille fruménta servávit non sibi, sed omni pópulo: iste Panem vivum e cælo servándum accépit tam sibi quam toti mundo.

Fidélis, inquam, servus, et prudens, quem constítuit Dóminus suæ Matris solátium, suæ carnis nutrítium, solum dénique in terris magni consílii coadiutórem fidelíssimum.

The first Joseph laid by bread, not for himself, but for all people; the second Joseph received into his keeping that Living Bread Which came down from heaven, not for him only, but for the whole world. We cannot doubt but that that Joseph was good and faithful to whom was espoused the Mother of the Saviour. Yea, I say, he was a faithful and wise servant, whom the Lord appointed to be the comfort of His own Mother, the keeper of His own Body, and the only and trusty helper in the Eternal Counsels.

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.

℟. Dicit Mater Iesu ad illum: Fili, quid fecísti nobis sic?

℟. The Mother of Jesus said unto Him Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us?

* Ecce pater tuus et ego doléntes quærebámus te.

* Behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

℣. Et ait ad illos: Quid est, quod me quærebátis? nesciebátis, quia in his quæ Patris mei sunt, opórtet me esse?

℣. And He said unto them: How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?

℟. Ecce pater tuus et ego doléntes quærebámus te.

℟. Behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

℣. 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.

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.

℟. Thanks be to God.

Reading 9

Ioseph autem vir eius, cum esset iustus, et nollet eam tradúcere, vóluit occúlte dimíttere eam. 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.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

62:3 In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: † sic in sancto appárui tibi, * ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam.

62:3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: † so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, * to see thy power and thy glory.

De libro Génesis

Lesson from the book of Genesis

Gen 37:2-10

Gen 37:2-10

2 Ioseph, cum sédecim esset annórum, pascébat gregem cum frátribus suis adhuc puer: et erat cum fíliis Balæ et Zelphæ uxórum patris sui: accusavítque fratres suos apud patrem crímine péssimo.

2 And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.

3 Israël autem diligébat Ioseph super omnes fílios suos, eo quod in senectúte genuísset eum: fecítque ei túnicam polýmitam.

3 Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of diverse colours.

4 Vidéntes autem fratres eius quod a patre plus cunctis fíliis amarétur, óderant eum, nec póterant ei quidquam pacífice loqui.

4 And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

5 Accidit quoque ut visum sómnium reférret frátribus suis: quæ causa maióris ódii seminárium fuit.

5 Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.

6 Dixítque ad eos: Audíte sómnium meum quod vidi:

6 And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.

7 Putábam nos ligáre manípulos in agro: et quasi consúrgere manípulum meum, et stare, vestrósque manípulos circumstántes adoráre manípulum meum.

7 I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before my sheaf.

8 Respondérunt fratres eius: Numquid rex noster eris? aut subiciémur ditióni tuæ? Hæc ergo causa somniórum atque sermónum, invídiæ et ódii fómitem ministrávit.

8 His brethren answered Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.

9 Aliud quoque vidit sómnium, quod narrans frátribus, ait: Vidi per sómnium, quasi solem, et lunam, et stellas úndecim adoráre me.

9 He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.

10 Quod cum patri suo, et frátribus retulísset, increpávit eum pater suus, et dixit: Quid sibi vult hoc sómnium quod vidísti? num ego et mater tua, et fratres tui adorábimus te super terram?

10 And when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Vidéntes Ioseph a longe, loquebántur mútuo fratres, dicéntes: Ecce somniátor venit:

℟. And when his brethren saw Joseph afar off, they said one to another: Behold, this dreamer cometh.

* Veníte, occidámus eum, et videámus si prosint illi sómnia sua.

* Come, let us slay him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

℣. Cumque vidíssent Ioseph fratres sui, quod a patre cunctis frátribus plus amarétur, óderant eum, nec póterant ei quidquam pacífice loqui, unde et dicébant.

℣. And when his brethren saw that their father loved Joseph more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him; therefore they said:

℟. Veníte, occidámus eum, et videámus si prosint illi sómnia sua.

℟. Come, let us slay him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

℣. 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.

Gen 37:11-20

Gen 37:11-20

11 Invidébant ei ígitur fratres sui: pater vero rem tácitus considerábat.

11 His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.

12 Cumque fratres illíus in pascéndis grégibus patris moraréntur in Sichem,

12 And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father's flocks,

13 Dixit ad eum Israël: Fratres tui pascunt oves in Síchimis: veni, mittam te ad eos. Quo respondénte,

13 Israel said to him: thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:

14 Præsto sum, ait ei: Vade, et vide si cuncta próspera sint erga fratres tuos, et pécora: et renúntia mihi quid agátur. Missus de valle Hebron, venit in Sichem:

14 I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:

15 Invenítque eum vir errántem in agro, et interrogávit quid quǽreret.

15 And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.

16 At ille respóndit: Fratres meos quæro: índica mihi ubi pascant greges.

16 But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the flocks.

17 Dixítque ei vir: Recessérunt de loco isto: audívi autem eos dicéntes: Eámus in Dóthain. Perréxit ergo Ioseph post fratres suos, et invénit eos in Dóthain.

17 And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.

18 Qui cum vidíssent eum procul, ántequam accéderet ad eos, cogitavérunt illum occídere:

18 And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.

19 Et mútuo loquebántur: Ecce somniátor venit:

19 And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.

20 Veníte, occidámus eum, et mittámus in cistérnam véterem: dicemúsque: Fera péssima devorávit eum: et tunc apparébit quid illi prosint sómnia sua.

20 Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him.

Gen 37:21-28

Gen 37:21-28

21 Audiens autem hoc Ruben, nitebátur liberáre eum de mánibus eórum, et dicébat:

21 And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:

22 Non interficiátis ánimam eius, nec effundátis sánguinem: sed proícite eum in cistérnam hanc, quæ est in solitúdine, manúsque vestras serváte innóxias: hoc autem dicébat, volens erípere eum de mánibus eórum, et réddere patri suo.

22 Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.

23 Conféstim ígitur ut pervénit ad fratres suos, nudavérunt eum túnica talári et polýmita:

23 And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of diverse colours:

24 Miserúntque eum in cistérnam véterem, quæ non habébat aquam.

24 And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.

25 Et sedéntes ut coméderent panem, vidérunt Ismaëlítas viatóres veníre de Gálaad, et camélos eórum portántes arómata, et resínam, et stacten in Ægýptum.

25 And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Calaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.

26 Dixit ergo Iudas frátribus suis: Quid nobis prodest si occidérimus fratrem nostrum, et celavérimus sánguinem ipsíus?

26 And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?

27 Mélius est ut venundétur Ismaëlítis, et manus nostræ non polluántur: frater enim et caro nostra est. Acquievérunt fratres sermónibus illíus.

27 It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.

28 Et prætereúntibus Madianítis negotiatóribus, extrahéntes eum de cistérna, vendidérunt eum Ismaëlítis, vigínti argénteis: qui duxérunt eum in Ægýptum.

28 And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Extrahéntes Ioseph de lacu, vendidérunt Ismaëlítæ vigínti argénteis:

℟. They drew up Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.

* Reversúsque Ruben ad púteum, cum non invenísset eum, scidit vestiménta sua cum fletu, et dixit: Puer non compáret, et ego quo ibo?

* And Reuben returned unto the pit, and when he found not Joseph, he rent his clothes, and wept, and said: The child is not, and I, whither shall I go?

℣. At illi, intíncta túnica Ioseph in sánguine hædi, misérunt qui ferret eam ad patrem, et díceret: Vide, si túnica fílii tui sit, an non.

℣. And they took Joseph's coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid of the goats, and they sent one that brought the coat unto their father, and said: See now whether this be thy son's coat or no.

℟. Reversúsque Ruben ad púteum, cum non invenísset eum, scidit vestiménta sua cum fletu, et dixit: Puer non compáret, et ego quo ibo?

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 11:14-28

Luke 11:14-28

In illo témpore: Erat Iesus eíciens dæmónium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecísset dæmónium, locútus est mutus, et admirátæ sunt turbæ. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb: and when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes were in admiration at it. And so on.

Homilía sancti Bedæ Venerábilis Presbýteri

Homily by the Venerable Bede, Priest at Jarrow.

Lib. 4, cap. 48, in cap. 11 Lucæ

Bk. iv, 48 on Luke xi

Dæmoníacus iste apud Matthǽum non solum mutus, sed et cæcus fuísse narrátur: curatúsque dícitur a Dómino, ita ut loquerétur, et vidéret. Tria ergo signa simul in uno hómine perpetráta sunt: cæcus videt, mutus lóquitur, posséssus a dǽmone liberátur. Quod et tunc quidem carnáliter factum est, sed et cotídie complétur in conversióne credéntium: ut, expúlso primum dǽmone, fídei lumen aspíciant; deínde ad laudes Dei tacéntia prius ora laxéntur. Quidam autem ex eis dixérunt: in Beélzebub príncipe dæmoniórum éicit dæmónia. Non hæc áliqui de turba, sed pharisǽi calumniabántur, et scribæ, sicut álii Evangelístæ testántur.

We read in Matthew xii. 22 that the devil, by which this poor creature was possessed, was not only dumb, but also blind; and that, when he was healed by the Lord, he saw as well as spake. Three miracles, therefore, were performed on this one man; the blind saw, the dumb spake, and the possessed was delivered. This mighty work was then indeed wrought carnally, but it is still wrought spiritually in the conversion of believers, when the devil is cast out of them, so that their eyes see the light of faith, and the lips, that before were dumb, are opened that their mouth may show forth the praise of God. But some of them said: He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils. These some were not of the multitude, but liars among the Pharisees and Scribes, as we are told by the other Evangelist.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Lamentabátur Iacob de duóbus fíliis suis: Heu me, dolens sum de Ioseph pérdito, et tristis nimis de Béniamin ducto pro alimóniis:

℟. Jacob lamented for his two sons, saying: Woe is me; I am bereaved of Joseph, for he is not; and afflicted because of Benjamin, because he is taken away for bread.

* Precor cæléstem Regem, ut me doléntem nímium fáciat eos cérnere.

* I pray the King of heaven in my distress, that He may make me to see them yet again.

℣. Prostérnens se Iacob veheménter cum lácrimis pronus in terram, et adórans ait.

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 4:23-30

Luke 4:23-30

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus pharisǽis: Utique dicétis mihi hanc similitúdinem: Médice, cura te ipsum: quanta audívimus facta in Caphárnaum, fac et hic in pátria tua. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus said to the pharisees: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 4 in c. 4 Lucæ, post med.

Bk. iv on Luke iv

Non medíocris invídia próditur, quæ cívicæ caritátis oblíta, in acérba ódia causas amóris infléctit. Simul hoc exémplo páriter et oráculo declarátur, quod frustra opem misericórdiæ cæléstis exspéctes, si aliénæ frúctibus virtútis invídeas. Aspernátor enim Dóminus invidórum est: et ab iis qui divína benefícia in áliis persequúntur, mirácula suæ potestátis avértit. Domínicæ quippe carnis actus, divinitátis exémplum est: et invisibília nobis eius, per ea quæ sunt visibília, demonstrántur.

Here we have a display of a spite not very common. Their hatred of Christ, and their desire to find grounds for that hatred in what in Him appealed for their love, had made them forget their local friendliness to a fellow-citizen. By this example as well as by God's declaration, thou mayest learn that thou wilt wait in vain to be helped of His mercy, whilst thou art envious of the spiritual good of thy neighbour. Yea, the Lord turneth Him away from the envious, and will not show the mighty works of His power to such as are bitter against His gifts to others. The example of Himself which God hath been pleased to set before us is that of His doings in the Flesh, and it is by these His doings which He suffered to be seen, that we are taught touching those which are unseen.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Tóllite hinc vobíscum múnera, et ite ad dóminum terræ: et cum invenéritis, adoráte eum super terram:

℟. Take hence presents with you, and go unto the lord of the land, and when ye be come into his presence, bow yourselves to him to the earth.

* Deus autem meus fáciat eum vobis placábilem: et remíttat et hunc fratrem vestrum vobíscum, et eum quem tenet in vínculis.

* And my God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away again this your brother, and him which he keepeth in ward.

℣. Súmite de óptimis terræ frúgibus in vasis vestris, et deférte viro múnera.

℣. Take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present.

℟. Deus autem meus fáciat eum vobis placábilem: et remíttat et hunc fratrem vestrum vobíscum, et eum quem tenet in vínculis.

Non otióse ítaque Salvátor excúsat, quod nulla in pátria sua mirácula virtútis operátus sit: ne fortássis áliquis viliórem pátriæ nobis esse debére putáret afféctum. Neque enim cives póterat non amáre, qui amáret omnes: sed ipsi se caritáte pátriæ, dum ínvident, abdicárunt. In veritáte dico vobis: multæ víduæ fuérunt in diébus Elíæ. Non quia Elíæ dies fuérunt, sed in quibus Elías operátus est: aut quia Elías dies faciébat illis, qui in eius opéribus lucem vidébant grátiæ spiritális, et convertebántur ad Dóminum. Et ídeo aperiebátur cælum vidéntibus ætérna et divína mystéria: claudebátur, et fames erat, quando nulla erat cognoscéndæ divinitátis ubértas. Sed de hoc plénius díximus, cum de víduis scriberémus.

The Saviour then doth not lightly excuse Himself that He had wrought none of His mighty works in His own country, lest perchance any should thence learn to think lightly of our duty to love our Fatherland. Neither was it possible that He Who loved all, should not love His own countrymen; they it was who failed in that love because of their very envy. I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias. The days of Elias not that the said days belonged to Elias, but either because those were the days when Elias lived and worked; or, else, this is a mystic phrase, meaning that Elias by his works made many souls to awake spiritually from the night of sin to the day of grace, and turn to the Lord. In this latter sense that holy Prophet was a mean whereby heaven was opened to such as looked to the eternal and mysterious things of God, and again was shut, (and there was a famine,) when there were no means of knowing God through outward ordinances. This subject, however, I have treated before at full length, when I was writing on the subject of widows.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Iste est frater vester mínimus, de quo dixerátis mihi? Deus misereátur tibi, fili mi.

℟. Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? God be gracious unto thee, my son.

* Festinavítque in domum, et plorávit: quia erumpébant lácrimæ, et non póterat se continére.

* And he made haste, and entered into the house, and wept there, for his tears brake forth, and he could not refrain himself.

℣. Attóllens autem Ioseph óculos, vidit Béniamin stantem: et commóta sunt ómnia víscera eius super fratre suo.

℣. And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, and his bowels yearned upon his brother.

℟. Festinavítque in domum, et plorávit: quia erumpébant lácrimæ, et non póterat se continére.

Et multi leprósi erant in Iudǽa tempóribus Eliséi prophétæ: et nemo eórum mundátus est, nisi Náaman Syrus. Evidénter hic sermo nos Dómini salutáris infórmat, et ad stúdium venerándæ divinitátis hortátur: quod nemo sanátus osténditur, et maculósi morbo córporis absolútus, nisi qui religióso offício stúduit sanitáti. Non enim dormiéntibus divína benefícia, sed observántibus deferúntur. Díximus in libro álio, in vídua illa, ad quam Elías diréctus est, typum Ecclésiæ præmíssum. Pópulus Ecclésiam congregávit, ut sequátur pópulus ille ex alienígenis congregátus. Pópulus ille ante leprósus, pópulus ille ante maculósus, priúsquam mýstico baptizarétur in flúmine: idem post sacraménta baptísmatis máculis córporis et mentis ablútus, iam non lepra, sed immaculáta virgo cœpit esse sine ruga.

And many lepers were in Israel in the days of Eliseus the Prophet, and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. By these words of the Lord our great Physician, we are plainly taught and urged to put our trust in the Adorable God, since we see that none was healed, or cleansed from bodily plague-spots, save him who took a religious means to regain health. For the blessings of God are not given to them who close their eyes in sleep, but to them that look to Him. We have remarked in our other book, alluded to above, that the widow to whom Elias was sent was a type of the Church. And next after (the mention of the type of) the Church cometh meetly the (mention of him who was a type of the Gentile) people, her converts. Yea, the Gentiles were a people foreigners by birth, leprous, and covered with plague-spots, till they were baptized in the stream of the mystic Jordan; but from the sacramental waters they rise, lepers no more, but cleansed in body and soul, a glorious virgin Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. Eph. v. 27.

* Ite, addúcite eum ad me, ut possit vívere.

* Go, bring him down unto me, that he may live.

℣. Biénnium enim est, quod cœpit esse fames in terra: et adhuc restant anni quinque, quibus nec arári póterit, nec meti.

℣. For these two years hath the famine been in the land; and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 18:15-22

Matt 18:15-22

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Si peccáverit in te frater tuus, vade, et córripe eum inter te et ipsum solum. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus saith to his disciples: But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Sermo 16 de Verbis Domini, tomus 10, post initium

16th Sermon on the Words of the Lord, vol. x

Quare illum córripis? Quia tu doles, quod peccáverit in te? Absit. Si amóre tui id facis, nihil facis: si amóre illíus facis, óptime facis. Dénique in ipsis verbis atténde, cuius amóre id fácere débeas, utrum tui, an illíus. Si te audíerit, inquit, lucrátus es fratrem tuum. Ergo propter illum fac, ut lucréris illum. Sic faciéndo lucráris: nisi fecísses, períerat. Quid est ergo, quod pleríque hómines ista peccáta contémnunt, et dicunt: Quid magnum feci? In hóminem peccávi. Noli contémnere: in hóminem peccásti.

Why tell him his fault? Because he hath made thee smart by trespassing against thee? God forbid. If thou tell him his fault because thou lovest thyself, thou dost nothing. But if thou tell it him because thou lovest him, then dost thou do exceeding well. Hear now, in the words of the Gospel itself, for love of whom, thou oughtest to do it, of thyself, or of him. The Lord saith: If he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. Therefore it behoveth thee to do it for his sake, that thou mayest gain him; since, if thou so do, haply thou mayest gain him; whereas, if thou do it not, he may haply perish. Why then are there so many who reckon lightly of a trespass against their brother, and say I have done no great offence, for I have trespassed only against my fellow man? Deem it not light; thou hast trespassed, though it be against thy fellow man.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Nuntiavérunt Iacob dicéntes: Ioseph fílius tuus vivit, et ipse dominátur in tota terra Ægýpti: quo audíto revíxit spíritus eius, et dixit:

℟. They told Jacob, saying: thy son Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt; and, when he heard it, his spirit revived, and he said

* Súfficit mihi, vadam et vidébo eum ántequam móriar.

* It is enough; I will go, and see him before I die.

℣. Cumque audísset Iacob quod fílius eius víveret, quasi de gravi somno evígilans, ait.

℣. And when Jacob heard that his son yet lived, he was as one that awakeneth from a deep sleep, and said:

℟. Súfficit mihi, vadam et vidébo eum ántequam móriar.

℟. It is enough; I will go, and see him before I die.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

Vis nosse, quia in hóminem peccándo perísti? Si te ille, in quem peccásti, corripúerit inter te et ipsum solum, et audíeris illum, lucrátus est te. Quid est, Lucrátus est te; nisi quia períeras, si non lucrarétur te? Nam si non períeras, quómodo te lucrátus est? Nemo ergo contémnat, quando peccat in fratrem. Ait enim quodam loco Apóstolus: Sic autem peccántes in fratres, et percutiéntes consciéntiam eórum infírmam, in Christum peccátis: ídeo quia membra Christi omnes facti sumus. Quómodo non peccas in Christum, qui peccas in membrum Christi?

Wouldest thou know that thy trespass against thy brother hath destroyed thee? If he against whom thou hast trespassed tell thee thy fault between himself and thee alone, and thou hear him, he hath gained thee. Gained thee! And what signify those words, if it be not that thou, if thou be not gained, shalt perish? For if thou shouldest not otherwise perish, in what sense can he be said to gain thee? Therefore let no man deem it a light thing when he trespasseth against his brother. For the Apostle Paul saith in a certain place: When ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1 Cor. viii. 12. We are all members of Christ. How dost thou not trespass against Christ, which trespassest against one of His members?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ioseph dum intráret in terram Ægýpti, linguam quam non nóverat, audívit: manus eius in labóribus serviérunt:

℟. When Joseph came into the land of Egypt, he heard a language that he understood not; his hands were burdened with labour;

* Et lingua eius inter príncipes loquebátur sapiéntiam.

* And his tongue spake wisdom among princes.

℣. Humiliavérunt in compédibus pedes eius: ferrum petránsiit ánimam eius, donec veníret verbum eius.

℣. Whose feet they hurt with fetters; the iron entered into his soul, until the time that his word came

℟. Et lingua eius inter príncipes loquebátur sapiéntiam.

℟. And his tongue spake wisdom among princes.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

℟. Amen.

Nemo ergo dicat, quia non peccávi in Deum, sed peccávi in fratrem: in hóminem peccávi, leve, vel nullum peccátum est. Forte inde dicis: Leve est, quia cito curátur. Peccásti in fratrem: fac satis, et sanátus es. Cito fecísti mortíferam rem, sed remédium cito invenísti. Quis nostrum speret regnum cælórum, fratres mei, quando dicit Evangélium: Qui díxerit fratri suo, Fátue: reus erit gehénnæ ignis? Magnus terror: sed vide ibi remédium. Si obtúleris munus tuum ad altáre, et ibi recordátus fúeris, quia frater tuus habet áliquid advérsum te, relínque ibi munus tuum ante altáre. Non iráscitur Deus, quia differs impónere munus tuum: te quærit Deus magis, quam munus tuum.

Let no man therefore say I have not trespassed against God, but only against my brother; that is, I have trespassed against my fellowman; and so the sin is light, if any at all. And perchance thou wilt argue that it is light, because it is quickly mended; thou hast trespassed against thy brother, but thou canst make satisfaction, and be right again; thou hast done the deadly thing quickly, and quickly canst thou find a remedy. O my brethren, which of us can hope for the kingdom of heaven, when we remember that the Gospel saith: “Whosoever shall say to his brother: Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire?” Matth. v. 22. It is a thought full of dread; but, lo! the remedy: If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. God is not wroth that thou tarry or ever thou offer thy gift; for God seeketh thyself more than thy gift.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Meménto mei, dum bene tibi fúerit:

℟. Think on me when it shall be well with thee;

* Ut súggeras pharaóni, ut edúcat me de isto cárcere: * Quia furtim sublátus sum, et hic ínnocens in lacum missus sum.

* And make mention of me unto Pharaoh, that he may bring me out of this prison. * For I was stolen away; and here have I done nothing, that they should put me into the dungeon.

℣. Tres enim adhuc dies sunt, post quos recordábitur phárao ministérii tui, et restítuet te in gradum prístinum: tunc meménto mei.

℣. For yet three days, and then Pharaoh shall remember thy service, and restore thee unto thy place; then think of me.

℟. Ut súggeras pharaóni, ut edúcat me de isto cárcere.

℟. And make mention of me unto Pharaoh, that he may bring me out of this prison.

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.

43:7 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.

43:14 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.

At that time, scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying: Why do thy disciples trangress the tradition of the ancients? And so on.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.

Lib. 2 Comment. in cap. 15 Matthæi

Bk. ii Comm. on Matth. xv

Mira pharisæórum scribarúmque stultítia. Dei Fílium árguunt, quare hóminum traditiónes et præcépta non servet: Non enim lavant manus suas, cum panem mandúcant. Manus, id est ópera, non córporis útique, sed ánimæ lavándæ sunt, ut fiat in illis verbum Dei. Ipse autem respóndens ait illis: Quare et vos transgredímini mandátum Dei propter traditiónem vestram? Falsam calúmniam vera responsióne confútat. Cum, inquit, vos propter traditiónem hóminum præcépta Dómini negligátis: quare discípulos meos arguéndos putátis, quod seniórum iussa parvipéndant, ut Dei scita custódiant?

The stupidity of the Pharisees and Scribes is something extraordinary. They rebuke the Son of God because He doth not observe the traditions and commandments of men for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. It behoveth us to cleanse, not the hands of the body, but the hands of the soul, namely, our works, that we may do the commandments of God. But He answered and said unto them Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? He meeteth here their false accusation by a true. “How,” saith He, “do ye, who pass over the commandments of God, in order to keep to the traditions of men, hold that My disciples are to be rebuked, because they deem the tradition of the elders of little moment in comparison with the doing of what they know to be the Laws of God?”

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Mérito hæc pátimur, quia peccávimus in fratrem nostrum, vidéntes angústias ánimæ eius, dum deprecarétur nos, et non audívimus:

℟. We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear.

* Idcírco venit super nos tribulátio.

* Therefore is this distress come upon us.

℣. Dixit Ruben frátribus suis: Numquid non dixi vobis, Nolíte peccáre in púerum; et non audístis me?

℣. And Reuben answered his brethren, saying Spake I not unto you, saying: Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?

℟. Idcírco venit super nos tribulatio.

℟. Therefore is this distress come upon us.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Nam Deus dixit: Honóra patrem et matrem; et, Qui maledíxerit patri, vel matri, morte moriátur. Vos autem dícitis: Quicúmque díxerit patri, vel matri: Munus quodcúmque est ex me, tibi próderit: et non honorificábit patrem suum, aut matrem suam. Honor in Scriptúris non tantum in salutatiónibus et offíciis deferéndis, quantum in eleemósynis, ac múnerum oblatióne sentítur. Honóra, inquit Apóstolus, víduas, quæ vere víduæ sunt. Hic honor donum intellégitur. Et in álio loco: Presbýteri dúplici honóre honorándi sunt, máxime qui labórant in verbo et doctrína Dei. Et per hoc mandátum iubémur bovi trituránti os non cláudere: et dignus sit operárius mercéde sua.

Now God commanded, saying: Honour thy father and mother; and: He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say: Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother: It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; and honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. The word ‘honour’ is used in Scripture, not so much in the sense of paying salutations and services, as in that of giving alms and gifts. Honour widows, saith the Apostle, which are widows indeed. 1 Tim. v. 3. And here ‘honour’ signifieth support. So again, 17, 18: Let the Priests that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture saith: “Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn” and “The labourer is worthy of his reward.”

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dixit Ruben frátribus suis: Numquid non dixi vobis, Nolíte peccáre in púerum, et non audístis me?

℟. And Reuben answered his brethren, saying: Spake I not unto you, saying: Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?

* En sanguis eius exquíritur.

* Behold, his blood is required.

℣. Mérito hæc pátimur, quia peccávimus in fratrem nostrum, vidéntes angústias ánimæ eius, dum deprecarétur nos, et non audívimus.

℣. We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear.

℟. En sanguis eius exquíritur.

Præcéperat Dóminus, vel imbecillitátes, vel ætátes, vel penúrias paréntum consíderans, ut fílii honorárent, étiam in vitæ necessáriis ministrándis, paréntes suos. Hanc providentíssimam Dei legem voléntes scribæ et pharisǽi subvértere, ut impietátem sub nómine pietátis indúcerent, docuérunt péssimos fílios, ut si quis ea, quæ paréntibus offerénda sunt, Deo vovére volúerit, qui verus est pater, oblátio Dómini præponátur paréntum munéribus: vel certe ipsi paréntes, quæ Deo consecráta cernébant, ne sacrilégii crimen incúrrerent, declinántes, egestáte conficiebántur. Atque ita fiébat, ut oblátio liberórum sub occasióne templi et Dei, in sacerdótum lucra céderet.

The Lord being mindful of the helplessness, or age, or poverty of parents, had commanded their children to honour them even by giving them the necessaries of life. The Scribes and Pharisees, scrupling not to make of none effect this most benign law, and bringing in ungodliness under the very form of godliness, taught, for the benefit of unnatural children, that if any one vowed to God, Who is our very Father in heaven, whatsoever he was bound to give to his parents, the duty of discharging his debt to his heavenly Father ought to come before that which he owed to his earthly father; or, at least, that parents in such case incurred the guilt of sacrilege by taking for themselves what they knew had been made a gift to God. And so parents were left unsuccoured, and the offerings of such children, under pretence of being given to God and His temple, became the gain of the Priests.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

* Precor cæléstem Regem, ut me doléntem nímium fáciat eos cérnere.

* I pray the King of heaven in my distress, that He may make me to see them yet again.

℣. Prostérnens se Iacob veheménter cum lácrimis pronus in terram, et adórans ait.

℣. And Jacob cast him down upon his face upon the ground, and wept sore; and he prayed, saying:

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 4:38-44

Luke 4:38

In illo témpore: Surgens Iesus de synagóga, introívit in domum Simónis. Socrus autem Simónis tenebátur magnis fébribus. Et réliqua.

At that time Jesus arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan

Liber 4 in cap. 4 Lucæ, circa finem

Bk. 4 on Luke iv

Vide cleméntiam Dómini Salvatóris: nec indignatióne commótus nec scélere offénsus, nec iniúria violátus Iudǽam déserit: quin étiam ímmemor iniúriæ, memor cleméntiæ, nunc docéndo, nunc liberándo, nunc sanándo, infídæ plebis corda demúlcet. Et bene sanctus Lucas virum ab spíritu nequítiæ liberátum ante præmísit, et subdit féminæ sanitátem. Utrúmque enim sexum Dóminus curatúrus advénerat: sed prior sanári débuit, qui prior creátus est; nec prætermítti illa, quæ mobilitáte magis ánimi, quam pravitáte peccáverat.

Behold here how long-suffering is the Lord our Redeemer! Neither moved to anger against them, nor sickened at their guilt, nor outraged by their attacks, did He leave the Jews' country. Nay, forgetting their iniquity, and mindful only of His mercy, He strove to soften their hard and unbelieving hearts, sometimes by His teaching, and sometimes by freeing some of them, and sometimes by healing them. St. Luke doth well to tell us first of the man who was delivered from an unclean spirit, and then of the healing of a woman. The Lord indeed came to heal both sexes, but that must be healed first which was created first, and then must not she be passed by whose first sin arose rather from fickleness of heart than from depraved will.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Vidéntes Ioseph a longe, loquebántur mútuo fratres, dicéntes: Ecce somniátor venit:

℟. And when his brethren saw Joseph afar off, they said one to another: Behold, this dreamer cometh.

* Veníte, occidámus eum, et videámus si prosint illi sómnia sua.

* Come, let us slay him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

℣. Cumque vidíssent Ioseph fratres sui, quod a patre cunctis frátribus plus amarétur, óderant eum, nec póterant ei quidquam pacífice loqui, unde et dicébant.

℣. And when his brethren saw that their father loved Joseph more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him; therefore they said:

℟. Veníte, occidámus eum, et videámus si prosint illi sómnia sua.

℟. Come, let us slay him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

℣. 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.

Sábbato medicínæ Domínicæ ópera cœpta signíficat, ut inde nova creatúra cœ́perit, ubi vetus creatúra ante desívit: nec sub lege esse Dei Fílium, sed supra legem in ipso princípio designáret: nec solvi legem, sed impléri. Neque enim per legem, sed verbo factus est mundus, sicut légimus: Verbo Dómini cæli firmáti sunt. Non sólvitur ergo lex, sed implétur: ut fiat renovátio hóminis iam labéntis. Unde et Apóstolus ait: Exspoliántes vos véterem hóminem, indúite novum, qui secúndum Deum creátus est.

That the Lord began to heal on the Sabbath-day showeth in a figure how that the new creation beginneth where the old creation ended. It showeth, moreover, that the Son of God, Who is come not to destroy the law but to fulfill the law, Matth. v. 17, is not under the law, but above the law. Neither was it by the law, but by the Word, that the world was created, as it is written “By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made.” Ps. xxxii. 6. The law, then, is not destroyed, but fulfilled, in the Redemption of fallen man. Whence also the Apostle saith: “Put off, concerning the former conversation, the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Eph. iv. 22.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Dixit Iudas frátribus suis: Ecce Ismaëlítæ tránseunt; veníte, venumdétur, et manus nostræ non polluántur:

℟. Judah said unto his brethren: Behold, the Ismaelites pass by; come, let us sell him, and let not our hands be defiled.

* Caro enim et frater noster est.

* For he is our flesh, and our brother.

℣. Quid enim prodest, si occidérimus fratrem nostrum, et celavérimus sánguinem ipsíus? mélius est ut venumdétur.

℣. What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? It is better to sell him.

℟. Caro enim et frater noster est.

℟. For he is our flesh, and our brother.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring.

Et bene sábbato cœpit, ut ipsum se osténderet Creatórem, qui ópera opéribus intéxeret, et prosequerétur opus, quod ipse iam cœ́perat: ut si domum faber renováre dispónat, non a fundaméntis, sed a culmínibus íncipit sólvere vetustátem. Itaque ibi prius manum ádmovet, ubi ante desíerat: deínde a minóribus íncipit, ut ad maióra pervéniat. Liberáre a dǽmone et hómines, sed in verbo Dei possunt: resurrectiónem mórtuis imperáre, divínæ solíus est potestátis. Fortássis étiam in typo mulíeris illíus socrus Simónis et Andréæ, váriis críminum fébribus caro nostra languébat, et diversárum cupiditátum immódicis æstuábat illécebris. Nec minórem febrem amóris esse díxerim, quam calóris. Itaque illa ánimum, hæc corpus inflámmat. Febris enim nostra, avarítia est: febris nostra, libído est: febris nostra, luxúria est: febris nostra, ambítio est: febris nostra, iracúndia est.

It was well that He began to heal on the Sabbath, that He might show Himself to be the Creator, weaving in one with another of His works, and continuing that which He had already begun, even as a workman, being to repair an house, beginneth not to take down that which is old from the foundations, but from the roof. Thus doth the Lord begin to lay to His hand again, in that place whence last He hath lifted it; then He beginneth which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness: Eph. iv. 22. with things lesser, that He may go on to things greater. Even men are able to deliver other men from evil spirits, albeit with the word of God: to command the dead to rise again is for God's power alone. Perchance, also, this woman, the mother-in-law of Simon and Andrew, was a type of our nature, stricken down with the great fever of sin, and burning with unlawful lusts after diverse objects. Nor would I say that the passion which rageth in the mind is a lesser fire than that fever which burneth the body. Covetousness, and lust, and uncleanness, and vain desires, and strivings, and anger, these be our fevers.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

* Reversúsque Ruben ad púteum, cum non invenísset eum, scidit vestiménta sua cum fletu, et dixit: Puer non compáret, et ego quo ibo?

* And Reuben returned unto the pit, and when he found not Joseph, he rent his clothes, and wept, and said: The child is not, and I, whither shall I go?

℣. At illi, intíncta túnica Ioseph in sánguine hædi, misérunt qui ferret eam ad patrem, et díceret: Vide, si túnica fílii tui sit, an non.

℣. And they took Joseph's coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid of the goats, and they sent one that brought the coat unto their father, and said: See now whether this be thy son's coat or no.

℟. Reversúsque Ruben ad púteum, cum non invenísset eum, scidit vestiménta sua cum fletu, et dixit: Puer non compáret, et ego quo ibo?

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.

72:1 How good is God to Israel, * to them that are of a right heart!

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:

72:11 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:

72:14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.

72:14 And I have been scourged all the day; * and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.

72:15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce, natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.

72:16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:

72:16 I studied that I might know this thing, * it is a labour in my sight:

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:

Sermo sancti Leónis Papæ

From the Sermons of Pope St. Leo the Great.

Sermo 2 de Nativ. Domini

2nd for Christmas

Deus omnípotens et clemens, cuius natúra bónitas, cuius volúntas poténtia, cuius opus misericórdia est, statim ut nos diabólica malígnitas venéno suæ mortificávit invídiæ, prædestináta renovándis mortálibus suæ pietátis remédia, inter ipsa mundi primórdia præsignávit; denúntians serpénti futúrum semen mulíeris, quod nóxii cápitis elatiónem sua virtúte contéreret, Christum scílicet in carne ventúrum; Deum hominémque signans, qui natus ex Vírgine, violatórem humánæ propáginis incorrúpta nativitáte damnáret.

The Almighty and merciful God, Whose nature is goodness, Whose will is power, and Whose work is mercy, did, at the very beginning of the world, as soon as the devil's hatred had mortally poisoned us with the venom of his envy, foretell those remedies which His mercy had foreordained for our healing. He bade the serpent know that there was to be a Seed of the woman Who should yet bruise the swelling of his pestilential head; this Seed was none other than the Christ to come in the flesh, that God and Man in one Person, Who, being born of a Virgin, should, by His undefiled birth, damn the seducer of man.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Ecce virgo concípiet, et páriet fílium, dicit Dóminus:

℟. Behold, the Virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, saith the Lord;

* Et vocábitur nomen eius Admirábilis, Deus, Fortis.

* And His name shall be called Wonderful, the Mighty God.

℣. Super sólium David, et super regnum eius sedébit in ætérnum.

℣. He shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom for ever.

℟. Et vocábitur nomen eius Admirábilis, Deus, Fortis.

℟. And His name shall be called Wonderful, the Mighty God.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Nam quia gloriabátur diábolus hóminem sua fraude decéptum divínis caruísse munéribus, et immortalitátis dote nudátum, duram mortis subísse senténtiam, seque in malis suis quoddam de prævaricatóris consórtio invenísse solátium; Deum quoque, iustæ severitátis exigénte ratióne, erga hóminem, quem in tanto honóre condíderat, antíquam mutásse senténtiam: opus fuit, dilectíssimi, secréti dispensatióne consílii ut incommutábilis Deus, cuius volúntas non potest sua benignitáte privári, primam pietátis suæ dispositiónem sacraménto occultióre compléret; et homo diabólicæ iniquitátis versútia actus in culpam, contra Dei propósitum non períret.

The devil rejoiced that by his fraud he had so deceived man as to make him lose the gifts of God, forfeit his privilege of eternal life, bring himself under the hard sentence of death, and find in his misery a certain comfort in the accomplice of his guilt; he rejoiced also that God, in His just anger, was changed towards man, whom He had made in such honour. But, dearly beloved brethren, that Unchangeable God, Whose Will cannot be divorced from His goodness, by His own secret counsel carried out in a mysterious way His original purpose of goodness, and man, who had been led into sin by the wicked craft of the devil, perished not to disappoint that gracious purpose of God.

℣. 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.

Adveniéntibus ergo tempóribus, dilectíssimi, quæ redemptióni hóminum fúerant præstitúta, ingréditur hæc ínfima Iesus Christus, Dóminus noster, de cælésti sede descéndens, et a patérna glória non recédens, novo órdine, nova nativitáte generátus: novo órdine, quia, invisíbilis in suis, visíbilis factus est in nostris; incomprehensíbilis, vóluit comprehéndi; ante témpora manens, esse cœpit ex témpore; universitátis Dóminus servílem formam, obumbráta maiestátis suæ dignitáte, suscépit; impassíbilis Deus, non dedignátus est homo esse passíbilis; et immortális, mortis légibus subiacére.

Then therefore, dearly beloved brethren, the fulness of that time came, which God had appointed for our Redemption, our Lord Jesus Christ entered this lower world, came down from His heavenly throne, and, while He left not that glory which He hath with the Father before the world was, was incarnate by a new order and a new birth new, in that He Who is Invisible among His own, was made visible among us; He Who is Incomprehensible, willed to be comprehended; He Who is before the ages, began to be in time; the Lord of all shadowed the glory of His Majesty, and took upon Him the form of a servant; the Impassible God vouchsafed to become a man subject to suffering; and the Immortal laid Himself under the laws of death.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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.

℟. Congratulámini mihi, omnes qui dilígitis Dóminum: quia cum essem párvula, plácui Altíssimo,

℟. Rejoice with me, all ye that love the Lord, for while I was yet a little one, I pleased the Most High.

* Et de meis viscéribus génui Deum et hóminem.

* And I have brought forth from my bowels God and man.

℣. Beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes, quia ancíllam húmilem respéxit Deus.

℣. All generations shall call me blessed, since the Lord hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden.

℟. Et de meis viscéribus génui Deum et hóminem.

℟. And I have brought forth from my bowels God and man.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Cuius festum cólimus, ipsa Virgo vírginum intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Benediction. She whose feast-day we are keeping, Mary, blessed Maid of Maidens, be our Advocate with God.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

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.

℟. Gaude, María Virgo, cunctas hǽreses sola interemísti, quæ Gabriélis Archángeli dictis credidísti:

℟. Rejoice, O Mary, by whose mighty hand the Church hath victory o'er her foes achieved, since thou to Gabriel's word of quickening power in lowliness hast listened, and believed;

* Dum Virgo Deum et hóminem genuísti, et post partum, Virgo, invioláta permansísti.

* Thou, still a virgin, in thy blessed womb hast God Incarnate of thy flesh conceived, and, still of heaven, of that virginity remainest after childbirth unbereaved.

℣. Beáta es quæ credidísti: quia perfécta sunt ea, quæ dicta sunt tibi a Dómino.

℣. Blessed art thou that hast believed, for there is a performance of those things which were told thee from the Lord.

℟. Dum Virgo Deum et hóminem genuísti, et post partum, Virgo, invioláta permansísti.

℟. Thou, still a virgin, in thy blessed womb hast God Incarnate of thy flesh conceived, and, still of heaven, of that virginity remainest after childbirth unbereaved.

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

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

℟. Dum Virgo Deum et hóminem genuísti, et post partum, Virgo, invioláta permansísti.

℟. Thou, still a virgin, in thy blessed womb hast God Incarnate of thy flesh conceived, and, still of heaven, of that virginity remainest after childbirth unbereaved.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring.

℟. Amen.

℟. Amen.

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.

℟. Thanks be to God.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 8:1-11

John 8:1-11

In illo témpore: Perréxit Iesus in montem Olivéti, et dilúculo íterum venit in templum. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus went unto Mount Olivet. And early in the morning he came again into the temple. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Tract. 33 in Ioannem, post init.

33rd Tract on John.

Iesus perréxit in montem Olivéti, in montem fructuósum, in montem unguénti, in montem chrísmatis. Ubi enim decébat docére Christum, nisi in monte Olivéti? Christi enim nomen a chrísmate dictum est: chrisma autem Græce, Latíne únctio nominátur. Ideo autem nos unxit, quia luctatóres contra diábolum fecit. Et dilúculo íterum venit in templum, et omnis pópulus venit ad eum: et sedens docébat eos, et non tenebátur, quia nondum pati dignabátur. Nunc iam atténdite, ubi ab inimícis tentáta sit Dómini mansuetúdo.

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives, even unto that fruitful Mount, that anointing Mount, that Mount of Chrism. Where else became it Christ to teach, if not on the Mount of Olives? For the word Christ is derived from Chrisma, and Chrisma is the Greek for ointment. He hath anointed us that we may be able to wrestle with the devil. And, early in the morning, He came again into the temple; and all the people came unto Him; and He sat down, and taught them and no man laid hands on Him, because He was not yet pleased to suffer. And now listen how His enemies tried the Lord's meekness.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Mérito hæc pátimur, quia peccávimus in fratrem nostrum, vidéntes angústias ánimæ eius, dum deprecarétur nos, et non audívimus:

℟. We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear.

* Idcírco venit super nos tribulátio.

* Therefore is this distress come upon us.

℣. Dixit Ruben frátribus suis: Numquid non dixi vobis, Nolíte peccáre in púerum; et non audístis me?

℣. And Reuben answered his brethren, saying Spake I not unto you, saying: Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?

℟. Idcírco venit super nos tribulatio.

℟. Therefore is this distress come upon us.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Addúcunt autem illi scribæ et pharisǽi mulíerem in adultério deprehénsam, et statuérunt eam in médio, et dixérunt ei: Magíster, hæc múlier modo deprehénsa est in adultério: in lege autem Móyses mandávit nobis huiúsmodi lapidáre: tu ergo quid dicis? Hæc autem dicébant tentántes eum: ut possent accusáre eum. Unde accusáre? Numquid ipsum in áliquo facínore deprehénderant, aut illa múlier ad eum áliquo modo pertinuísse dicebátur?

And the Scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto Him: Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now, Moses in the law commanded that such should be stoned; but what sayest Thou? This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. Whereof to accuse Him? Had they taken Him in any sin? Or was the woman said to have anything to do with Him?

Intellegámus, fratres, admirábilem mansuetúdinem in Dómino fuísse. Animadvertérunt eum nímium esse mitem, nímium esse mansuétum. De illo quippe fúerat ante prædíctum: Accíngere gládio tuo circa femur tuum, potentíssime. Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua inténde, próspere procéde, et regna: propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et iustítiam. Ergo áttulit veritátem ut doctor, mansuetúdinem ut liberátor, iustítiam ut cógnitor. Propter hæc eum esse regnatúrum in Spíritu Sancto prophéta prædíxerat. Cum loquerétur, véritas agnoscebátur: cum advérsus inimícos non moverétur, mansuetúdo laudabátur. Cum ergo de duóbus istis, id est, de veritáte et mansuetúdine eius, inimíci livóre et invídia torqueréntur; in tértio, id est iustítia, scándalum posuérunt.

We must understand, my brethren, that there was a wonderful gentleness in the Lord. They knew that He was most mild and most gentle. Of Him indeed it had been said of old time: Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most Mighty! In thy comeliness and thy beauty go forward, fare prosperously, and reign, because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness. Ps. xliv. 4, 5. And He came bringing truth as one that teacheth, meekness as one that delivereth, and righteousness as one that knoweth. Because of these it was that the Prophet declared, in the Holy Ghost, that He was to reign. Whenever He spake, truth shone forth whenever He spared His enemies, meekness was made glorious. And His enemies, racked with envy and hatred by His truth and His meekness, laid a stumbling-block for His righteousness.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Lamentabátur Iacob de duóbus fíliis suis: Heu me, dolens sum de Ioseph pérdito, et tristis nimis de Béniamin ducto pro alimóniis:

℟. Jacob lamented for his two sons, saying: Woe is me; I am bereaved of Joseph, for he is not; and afflicted because of Benjamin, because he is taken away for bread.

* Precor cæléstem Regem, ut me doléntem nímium fáciat eos cérnere.

* I pray the King of heaven in my distress, that He may make me to see them yet again.

℣. Prostérnens se Iacob veheménter cum lácrimis pronus in terram, et adórans ait.

℣. And Jacob cast him down upon his face upon the ground, and wept sore; and he prayed, saying:

℟. Precor cæléstem Regem, ut me doléntem nímium fáciat eos cérnere.

℟. I pray the King of heaven in my distress, that He may make me to see them yet again.

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.

Exod 3:1-6

1 Móyses autem pascébat oves Iethro sóceri sui sacerdótis Mádian; cumque minásset gregem ad interióra desérti, venit ad montem Dei Horeb.

1 Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb.

2 Apparuítque ei Dóminus in flamma ignis de médio rubi; et vidébat quod rubus ardéret et non comburerétur.

2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire and was not burnt.

3 Dixit ergo Móyses: Vadam, et vidébo visiónem hanc magnam, quare non comburátur rubus.

3 And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 Cernens autem Dóminus quod pérgeret ad vidéndum, vocávit eum de médio rubi, et ait: Móyses, Móyses! Qui respóndit: Adsum.

4 And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am.

5 At ille: Ne apprópies, inquit, huc: solve calceaméntum de pédibus tuis; locus enim, in quo stas, terra sancta est.

5 And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6 Et ait: Ego sum Deus patris tui, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob. Abscóndit Móyses fáciem suam: non enim audébat aspícere contra Deum.

6 And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God.

* Ut dimíttat pópulum meum: indurátum est cor Pharaónis: non vult dimíttere pópulum meum, nisi in manu forti.

* Let My people go. And the heart of Pharaoh shall be hardened, that he will not let My people go but by a mighty hand.

℣. The cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me, and I have seen their affliction: come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, and thou shalt say unto him:

7 Cui ait Dóminus: Vidi afflictiónem pópuli mei in Ægýpto, et clamórem eius audívi propter durítiam eórum qui præsunt opéribus:

7 And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that are over the works:

8 Et sciens dolórem eius, descéndi ut líberem eum de mánibus Ægyptiórum, et edúcam de terra illa in terram bonam et spatiósam, in terram quæ fluit lacte et melle, ad loca Chananǽi, et Hethǽi, et Amorrhǽi, et Pherezǽi, et Hevǽi, et Iebusǽi.

8 And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite.

9 Clamor ergo filiórum Israël venit ad me: vidíque afflictiónem eórum, qua ab Ægýptiis opprimúntur.

9 For the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have seen their affliction, wherewith they are oppressed by the Egyptians.

12 And he said to him: I will be with thee: and this thou shalt have for a sign, that I have sent thee: When thou shalt have brought my people out of Egypt, thou shalt offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.

13 Ait Móyses ad Deum: Ecce, ego vadam ad fílios Israël, et dicam eis: Deus patrum vestrórum misit me ad vos. Si díxerint mihi: Quod est nomen eius? quid dicam eis?

13 Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you. If they should say to me: What is his name? what shall I say to them?

14 Dixit Deus ad Móysen: Ego sum qui sum. Ait: Sic dices fíliis Israël: Qui est, misit me ad vos.

14 God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

From the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 6:1-15

John 6:1-15

In illo témpore: Abiit Iesus trans mare Galilǽæ, quod est Tiberíadis: et sequebátur eum multitúdo magna, quia vidébant signa, quæ faciébat super his qui infirmabántur. Et réliqua.

In that time, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Tract. 24 in Ioannem

24th Tract on John

Mirácula, quæ fecit Dóminus noster Iesus Christus, sunt quidem divína ópera, et ad intellegéndum Deum de visibílibus ádmonent humánam mentem. Quia enim ille non est talis substántia, quæ vidéri óculis possit; et mirácula eius, quibus totum mundum regit, universámque creatúram adminístrat, assiduitáte viluérunt, ita ut pene nemo dignétur atténdere ópera Dei mira et stupénda in quólibet séminis grano: secúndum ipsam suam misericórdiam, servávit sibi quædam, quæ fáceret opportúno témpore præter usitátum cursum ordinémque natúræ; ut non maióra, sed insólita vidéndo stupérent, quibus cotidiána vilúerant.

The miracles which our Lord Jesus Christ did were the very works of God, and they enlighten the mind of man by mean of things which are seen, that he may know more of God. God is Himself of such a Substance as eye cannot see, and the miracles, by the which He ruleth the whole world continually, and satisfieth the need of everything that He hath made, are by use become so common, that scarce any will vouchsafe to see that there are wonderful and amazing works of God in every grain of seed of grass. According to His mercy He kept some works to be done in their due season, but out of the common course and order of nature, that men might see them and be astonished, not because they are greater, but because they are rarer than those which they lightly esteem, since they see them day by day.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Atténdite, pópule meus, legem meam:

℟. Give ear, O My people, to My law;

* Inclináte aurem vestram in verba oris mei.

* Incline your ears to the words of My mouth.

℣. Apériam in parábolis os meum: loquar propositiónes ab inítio sǽculi.

℣. I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter dark sayings of old.

℟. Inclináte aurem vestram in verba oris mei.

During the persecution under the Emperor Valerian they were dwelling on a little plot of ground in the suburbs of the said city, and when heavenly crowns of martyrdom were then being offered, their love of God and faith in Him enkindled them to go openly to the judge, and to rebuke him for that he so raged after the blood of the godly, whereupon he forthwith commanded them to be devoured by wild beasts for Christ's name's sake.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 2:13-25

John 2:13-25.

In illo témpore: Prope erat Pascha Iudæórum, et ascéndit Iesus Ierosólymam: et invénit in templo vendéntes boves, et oves, et colúmbas. Et réliqua.

In that time, the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Tract. 10 in Ioannem, post init.

10th Tract on John.

Quid audívimus, fratres? Ecce templum illud figúra adhuc erat, et eiécit inde Dóminus omnes qui sua quærébant, qui ad núndinas vénerant. Et quæ ibi vendébant illi? Quæ opus habébant hómines in sacrifíciis illíus témporis. Novit enim cáritas vestra, quod sacrifícia illi pópulo pro eius carnalitáte, et corde adhuc lapídeo, tália data sunt, quibus tenerétur, ne in idóla deflúeret: et immolábant ibi sacrifícia, boves, oves et colúmbas. Nostis, quia legístis.

What hear we now, my brethren? Behold, that temple was still but a figure, and the Lord drove out therefrom all them that sought their own, even them that were come to deal in merchandise. And what was it that they sold there? Only such things as were needful to men for the sacrifices that then were. For your love knoweth that, because of that people's carnal-mindedness and the stoniness of their heart, there were commanded unto them such sacrifices as these, thereby to hold them back from idolatry and there, according, they offered up oxen, and sheep, and doves. This ye have read, and know.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

* De lapídibus, quos ferrum non tétigit: et offérte super illud holocáusta, et hóstias pacíficas Deo vestro.

* Of whole stones; ye shall not lift up any iron tool upon them; and ye shall offer burnt-offerings thereon, and peace-offerings, unto your God.

℣. Cumque intravéritis terram, quam Dóminus datúrus est vobis, ædificáte ibi altáre Dómino.

℣. When ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the Lord giveth you, there shall ye build an altar unto the Lord.

℟. De lapídibus, quos ferrum non tétigit: et offérte super illud holocáusta, et hóstias pacíficas Deo vestro.

Non ergo magnum peccátum, si hoc vendébant in templo, quod emebátur ut offerétur in templo: et tamen eiécit inde illos. Quid si ibi ebriósos inveníret, quid fáceret Dóminus, si vendéntes ea quæ lícita sunt, et contra iustítiam non sunt (quæ enim honéste emúntur, non illícite vendúntur) éxpulit tamen, et non est passus domum oratiónis fíeri domum negotiatiónis?

It was no great sin, therefore, if they sold in the temple that which was bought to be offered in the temple and yet He drove them out. If, then, the Lord drove out of His temple them which sold such things as are lawful and right (for to buy and sell is lawful, if only it be done honestly,) and suffered not the house of prayer to be made an house of merchandise, what would He have done if He had found there men drunken?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

* Et dabo tibi terram fluéntem lac et mel.

* And I will give unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey.

℣. Obsérva ígitur, et audi vocem meam: et inimícus ero inimícis tuis.

℣. Take heed therefore, and hearken unto My voice and I will be an enemy unto thine enemies.

Si negotiatiónis domus non debet fíeri domus Dei, potatiónis debet fíeri? Nos autem quando ista dícimus, strident déntibus suis advérsus nos: et consolátur nos Psalmus, quem audístis: Stridérunt in me déntibus suis. Nóvimus et nos audíre unde curémur: etsi ingeminántur flagélla Christo, quia flagellátur sermo ipsíus. Congregáta sunt, inquit, in me flagélla, et nesciébant. Flagellátus est flagéllis Iudæórum: flagellátur blasphémiis falsórum Christianórum: multíplicant flagélla Dómino Deo suo, et nésciunt. Faciámus nos, quantum ipse ádiuvat. Ego autem, cum mihi molésti essent, induébam me cilício, et humiliábam in ieiúnio ánimam meam.

If the house of God must not be a house of merchandise, must it be an house to drink in? And yet, when we say this, men gnash upon us with their teeth. But we find consolation in remembering that so far we are even as the Psalmist, who saith: They gnashed upon me with their teeth. Ps. xxxiv. 16. Yea, we have also learnt to listen to words that heal us, though, of a verity, the lashes that are made at His word are really made at Christ. Lashes, saith He, were heaped upon Me; and they knew not what they did. He was lashed by the scourges of the Jews, and He is lashed still by the blasphemies of false Christians; they heap lashes upon the Lord their God; and know not what they do. As for us, we will do that which He hath holpen us to do; But as for me, when they troubled me, my clothing was sackcloth, and I humbled my soul with fasting

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Sicut fui cum Moyse ita ero tecum, dicit Dóminus:

* Confortáre, et esto robústus: introdúces pópulum meum ad terram lacte et melle manántem.

* Be strong and of a good courage, and thou shalt bring My people into a land flowing with milk and honey.

℣. Noli timére, quóniam tecum sum: ad quæcúmque perréxeris, non dimíttam te, neque derelínquam.

℣. Fear not, for I am with thee whithersoever thou goest I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

℟. Confortáre, et esto robústus: introdúces pópulum meum ad terram lacte et melle manántem.

℟. Be strong and of a good courage, and thou shalt bring My people into a land flowing with milk and honey.

38:5 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.

38:6 Ecce mensurábiles posuísti dies meos: * et substántia mea tamquam níhilum ante te.

38:6 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: * and my substance is as nothing before thee.

38:6 Verúmtamen univérsa vánitas, * omnis homo vivens.

38:6 And indeed all things are vanity: * every man living.

38:7 Verúmtamen in imágine pertránsit homo: * sed et frustra conturbátur.

38:7 Surely man passeth as an image: * yea, and he is disquieted in vain.

38:7 Thesaurízat: * et ignórat cui congregábit ea.

38:7 He storeth up: * and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.

38:8 Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea? Nonne Dóminus? * Et substántia mea apud te est.

38:8 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with thee.

38:9 Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me: * oppróbrium insipiénti dedísti me.

38:9 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: * thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.

38:10 Obmútui, et non apérui os meum, quóniam tu fecísti: * ámove a me plagas tuas.

38:10 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it: * remove thy scourges from me.

38:12 A fortitúdine manus tuæ ego deféci in increpatiónibus: * propter iniquitátem corripuísti hóminem.

38:12 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * thou hast corrected man for iniquity.

38:12 Et tabéscere fecísti sicut aráneam ánimam eius: * verúmtamen vane conturbátur omnis homo.

38:12 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.

38:13 Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe lácrimas meas.

38:13 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.

38:13 Ne síleas: quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, et peregrínus, * sicut omnes patres mei.

38:13 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, * and a sojourner as all my fathers were.

38:14 Remítte mihi, ut refrígerer priúsquam ábeam, * et ámplius non ero.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 7:14-31

John 7:14-31

In illo témpore: Iam die festo mediánte, ascéndit Iesus in templum, et docébat. Et mirabántur Iudǽi. Et réliqua.

In that time, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Tract. 29 in Ioannem, sub init.

29th Tract on John

Ille qui latébat, docébat, et palam loquebátur, et non tenebátur. Illud enim ut latéret, erat causa exémpli, hoc potestátis. Sed cum docéret, mirabántur Iudǽi. Omnes quidem, quantum árbitror, mirabántur, sed non omnes convertebántur. Et unde admirátio? Quia multi nóverant ubi natus, quemádmodum fúerit educátus. Nunquam eum víderant lítteras discéntem: audiébant autem de lege disputántem, legis testimónia proferéntem, quæ nemo posset proférre, nisi legísset, nemo légeret, nisi lítteras didicísset: et ídeo mirabántur. Eórum autem admirátio, magístro facta est insinuándæ áltius veritátis occásio.

He Who had gone up unto the Feast, not openly, but as it were in secret, the Same taught, and spake openly, and no man laid hands upon Him. That He had hid Himself, was for example's sake; that He manifested Himself, was to show His power. And when He taught, the Jews marvelled. As seemeth to my mind, they all marvelled, but were not all converted. And wherefore marvelled they? Because many of them knew where He was born, and how He had been brought up. They had never seen Him learn letters; but they heard Him dispute concerning the law, and allege the testimony of the same, as no man could do who had not read it; and no man can read unless he learn; and therefore they marvelled. But their marvelling was unto the Teacher an occasion for the revealing of higher truth.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Quid me quǽritis interfícere, hóminem qui vera locútus sum vobis?

℟. Why go ye about to kill Me, a Man That hath told you the truth?

* Si male locútus sum, testimónium pérhibe de malo: si autem bene, cur me cædis?

* If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou Me?

℣. Multa bona ópera operátus sum vobis: propter quod opus vultis me occídere?

℣. Many good works have I wrought among you; for which of those works go ye about to kill Me?

℟. Si male locútus sum, testimónium pérhibe de malo: si autem bene, cur me cædis?

℟. If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou Me?

℣. 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.

Ex eórum quippe admiratióne et verbis, dixit Dóminus profúndum áliquid, et diligéntius ínspici et discúti dignum. Quid ergo Dóminus respóndit eis, admirántibus quómodo sciret lítteras, quas non didícerat? Mea, inquit, doctrína non est mea, sed eius qui misit me. Hæc est profúnditas prima: vidétur enim paucis verbis quasi contrária locútus. Non enim ait: Ista doctrína non est mea: sed, Mea doctrína non est mea. Si non tua, quómodo tua? si tua, quómodo non tua? Tu enim dicis utrúmque: et mea doctrína, et non mea.

For when they marvelled and whispered, the Lord said a certain deep thing, yea, a thing worthy of very careful thought and discussion. And what was this thing which the Lord gave for an answer to such as marvelled that He knew letters, having never learned? Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not Mine, but His That sent Me. Here is the first depth, for He seemeth in these few words to enunciate a contradiction. He saith not: This doctrine is not Mine but: My doctrine is not Mine. O how is it thine? If it be thine, wherefore sayest Thou that it is not thine? For Thou sayest: My doctrine is not Mine.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Addúxi vos per desértum quadragínta annis ego Dóminus, et non sunt attríta vestiménta vestra:

℟. I, even I, the Lord, have led you forty years in the wilderness, and your clothes are not waxen old upon you.

* Manna de cælo plui vobis, et oblíti estis me, dicit Dóminus.

* I rained down manna upon you from heaven, and ye have forgotten Me, saith the Lord.

℣. Ego addúxi vos de terra Ægýpti, et de domo servitútis liberávi vos.

℣. I led you forth out of the land of Egypt, and delivered you from the house of bondage.

℟. Manna de cælo plui vobis, et oblíti estis me, dicit Dóminus.

℟. I rained down manna upon you from heaven, and ye have forgotten Me, saith the Lord.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Si ergo intueámur diligénter quod ipse in exórdio dicit sanctus Evangelísta: In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum: inde pendet huius solútio quæstiónis. Quæ est doctrína Patris, nisi Verbum Patris? Ipse ergo Christus doctrína Patris, si Verbum Patris. Sed quia Verbum, non potest esse nullíus, sed alicúius: et suam doctrínam dixit seípsum, et non suam, quia Patris est Verbum. Quid enim tam tuum quam tu? Et quid tam non tuum quam tu, si alicúius est, quod es?

Let us then carefully regard what this same holy Evangelist saith in the beginning of his Gospel, and we shall find there wherewith to loose the knot of this difficulty. There it is written: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. i. 1. What is the doctrine of the Father but the Word of the Father? If Christ therefore be the Word of the Father, He is the doctrine of the Father. But a Word cannot be of no one, but must needs, if it be a Word, have some one whose word it is. Christ therefore saith that His doctrine is Himself, and therefore not His, forasmuch as He is the Word of the Father. And what hast thou that is so much thine own as thy self? Or what is there that is so little thine own as thyself, if that which thou art is another's?

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Móyses fámulus Dei ieiunávit quadragínta diébus et quadragínta nóctibus:

℟. Moses, the servant of God, fasted forty days and forty nights

* Ut legem Dómini mererétur accípere.

* To make him meet to receive the Law of God.

℣. Ascéndens Móyses in montem Sínai ad Dóminum, fuit ibi quadragínta diébus et quadragínta nóctibus.

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.

38:17 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:

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?

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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

Ioannes 9:1-38

John 9:1-38

In illo témpore: Prætériens Iesus, vidit hóminem cæcum a nativitáte: et interrogavérunt eum discípuli eius: Rabbi, quis peccávit, hic, aut paréntes eius, ut cæcus nascerétur? Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus, passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth. And so on.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.

Tract. 44 in Ioannem, circa initium

44th Tract on John

Ea quæ fecit Dóminus noster Iesus Christus, stupénda atque miránda, et ópera, et verba sunt: ópera, quia facta sunt: verba, quia signa sunt. Si ergo quid signíficet hoc quod factum est, cogitémus: genus humánum est iste cæcus. Hæc enim cǽcitas cóntigit in primo hómine per peccátum, de quo omnes oríginem dúximus, non solum mortis, sed étiam iniquitátis. Si enim cǽcitas est infidélitas, et illuminátio fides: quem fidélem, quando venit Christus, invénit? Quandóquidem Apóstolus natus in gente prophetárum dicit: Fúimus et nos aliquándo natúra fílii iræ, sicut et céteri. Si fílii iræ, fílii vindíctæ, fílii pœnæ, fílii gehénnæ: quómodo natúra, nisi quia peccánte primo hómine vítium pro natúra inolévit? Si vítium pro natúra inolévit, secúndum mentem omnis homo cæcus natus est.

Dread and wondrous are all the things which our Lord Jesus Christ did, both His works and His words; the works, because He wrought them; the words, because they are deep. If, therefore, we consider the meaning of this work of His, we see that that man which was blind from his birth was a figure of mankind. This spiritual blindness was the consequence of the sin of the first man, from whom we all inherit by birth, not death only, but depravity also. For if blindness be unbelief, and faith, light, whom, when Christ came, did He find faithful? May, the Apostle who had himself been born of the race of which the Prophets came, saith: We also were by nature children of wrath, even as others. Eph. ii. 3. And if children of wrath, then children also of vengeance, children of damnation, children of hell. And wherefore so by nature, unless it were that the sin of the first man had made all his descendants to be born in sin, in that they partook of his nature? If, then, our nature bring sin with it, all men, according to the spirit, are born blind.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Spléndida facta est fácies Móysi, dum respíceret in eum Dóminus:

℟. After that the Lord had looked upon him, the face of Moses shone.

* Vidéntes senióres claritátem vultus eius, admirántes timuérunt valde.

* And when the elders saw that his face shone, they marvelled and were sore afraid.

℣. Cumque descendísset de monte Sínai, portábat duas tábulas testimónii, ignórans quod cornúta esset fácies eius ex consórtio sermónis Dei.

℣. And when he came down from Mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in his hand, he wist not that his face shone, because that God had spoken with him.

℟. Vidéntes senióres claritátem vultus eius, admirántes timuérunt valde.

℟. And when the elders saw that his face shone, they marvelled and were sore afraid.

Venit Dóminus: quid fecit? Magnum mystérium commendávit. Exspuit in terram, de salíva sua lutum fecit: quia Verbum caro factum est, et inúnxit óculos cæci. Inúnctus erat, et nondum vidébat. Misit illum ad piscínam, quæ vocátur Síloë. Pertínuit autem ad Evangelístam commendáre nobis nomen huius piscínæ, et ait: Quod interpretátur Missus. Iam quis sit missus agnóscitis. Nisi enim ille fuísset missus, nemo nostrum esset ab iniquitáte dimíssus. Lavit ergo óculos in ea piscína, quæ interpretátur Missus; baptizátus est in Christo. Si ergo quando eum in seípso quodámmodo baptizávit, tunc illuminávit: quando inúnxit, fortásse catechúmenum fecit.

The Lord came; and what did He? He set before us a great mystery. Jesus spat on the ground, and made clay of the Spittle for the Word was made flesh. And He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay but yet that man saw not. He was anointed, indeed, but yet still he saw not. And He said unto him: Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam. Now, it was the duty of the Evangelist to impress upon us the name of this Pool, and therefore he saith Siloam, which is, by interpretation, Sent. Ye, my brethren, know Who is signified where it is written: (The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law-giver from his loins, until) He that shall be Sent cometh. Gen. xlix. 10. Yea, He it is, Who, if He had not been sent, we had never been sent loose out of the prison-house of sin. The blind man went his way therefore, and washed his eyes in that Pool, which is, by interpretation, Sent in other words, he was baptized in Christ. When, therefore, he had figuratively been baptized in Him Whom the Father hath Sent into the world, he came seeing. When he was anointed, he was perchance made a figure of a Catechumen.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

* Obsérva et audi vocem meam, et inimícus ero inimícis tuis, et affligéntes te afflígam: et præcédet te Angelus meus.

* Beware, and obey My voice; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries; for Mine Angel shall go before thee.

℣. Israël, si me audíeris, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum: ego enim Dóminus.

℣. O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto Me, there shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god, for I am the Lord.

℟. Obsérva et audi vocem meam, et inimícus ero inimícis tuis, et affligéntes te afflígam: et præcédet te Angelus meus.

Audístis grande mystérium. Intérroga hóminem: Christiánus es? Respóndet tibi: Non sum. Si pagánus es, aut Iudǽus? Si autem díxerit, Non sum: adhuc quæris ab eo, Catechúmenus, an fidélis? Si respónderit tibi, Catechúmenus: inúnctus est, nondum lotus. Sed unde inúnctus? Quære, et respóndet. Quære ab illo, in quem credat? Eo ipso quo catechúmenus est, dicit: In Christum. Ecce modo loquor et fidélibus et catechúmenis. Quid dixi de sputo et luto? Quia Verbum caro factum est; hoc catechúmeni áudiunt: sed non eis súfficit ad quod inúncti sunt: festínent ad lavácrum, si lumen inquírunt.

We have heard this great mystery. Ask of a man: Art thou a Christian? He answereth thee: I am not. Then, if thou ask him: Art thou a pagan then, or a Jew? And he still saith unto thee Nay and thou say Art thou then a Catechumen, though not yet one of the faithful? and he saith Yea, a Catechumen then there thou seest a man anointed, but not yet washed. With what hath he been anointed? Ask of him, and he will tell thee. Ask of him in Whom he believeth, and, being a Catechumen, he will say: In Christ. But, behold, I speak before both Faithful and Catechumens. What said I touching the. Spittle and the clay? I said for 'the Word was made flesh.' This the Catechumens hear, but it is not enough for them to be anointed; they must make haste to the washing, if they would have their eyes opened.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 7:11-16

Luke 7:11-16

In illo témpore: Ibat Iesus in civitátem, quæ vocátur Naim: et ibant cum eo discípuli eius, et turba copiósa. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude. And so on.

Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi

Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.

Lib. 5 Comment. in Lucæ cap. 7, post initium

Bk. v Comm. on Luke vii

Et hic locus ad utrámque redúndat grátiam; et ut cito flecti divínam misericórdiam matris víduæ lamentatióne credámus, eius præcípue, quæ únici fílii vel labóre, vel morte frangátur; cui tamen víduæ gravitátis méritum exsequiárum turba concíliet: et ut hanc víduam populórum turba septam, plus vidéri esse quam féminam, quæ resurrectiónem únici et adulescéntis fílii suis lácrimis merúerit impetráre: eo quod sancta Ecclésia pópulum iuniórem a pompa fúneris atque a suprémis sepúlcri, suárum révocet ad vitam contemplatióne lacrimárum: quæ flere prohibétur eum, cui resurréctio debebátur.

The history which we here read in the Holy Gospel hath for us specially two gracious lessons, the one from the literal, the other from the mystic interpretation thereof. According to the letter then, we see how quickly the compassion of God was aroused by the sorrow of this mother, who was a widow, a widow broken down by nursing her only son, or by the bitterness of her grief for his death. She was a widow also whose worshipful conversation is borne witness to by this, that, much people of the city was with her. Mystically however, this widow encompassed by the multitude was something more than a poor woman whose tears won from the Lord the resurrection of her young and only son; for she is a type of our holy Mother the Church, who calleth back her young children to life from the pursuit of deathly vanities, and soul-slaying honours, by bidding them look on those tears which she sheddeth for such as they, and which it is unlawful for her to shed for them of whom she knoweth that they will rise again.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Descénde in Ægýptum, et dic Pharaóni:

℟. The Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Go down now into Egypt, and say unto Pharaoh:

* Ut dimíttat pópulum meum: indurátum est cor Pharaónis: non vult dimíttere pópulum meum, nisi in manu forti.

* Let My people go. And the heart of Pharaoh shall be hardened, that he will not let My people go but by a mighty hand.

℣. Clamor filiórum Israël venit ad me, vidíque afflictiónem eórum: sed veni, mittam te ad Pharaónem.

℣. The cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me, and I have seen their affliction: come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, and thou shalt say unto him:

℟. Ut dimíttat pópulum meum: indurátum est cor Pharaónis: non vult dimíttere pópulum meum, nisi in manu forti.

℟. Let My people go. And the heart of Pharaoh shall be hardened, that he will not let My people go but by a mighty hand.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Qui quidem mórtuus in lóculo materiálibus quátuor ad sepúlcrum ferebátur eleméntis, sed spem resurgéndi habébat, quia ferebátur in ligno. Quod etsi nobis ante non próderat, tamen posteáquam Iesus id tétigit, profícere cœpit ad vitam: ut esset indício, salútem pópulo per crucis patíbulum refundéndam. Audíto ígitur Dei verbo, stetérunt acérbi illi fúneris portitóres, qui corpus humánum letháli fluxu natúræ materiális urgébant. Quid enim áliud, nisi quasi in quodam féretro, hoc est, suprémi fúneris instruménto, iacémus exánimes, cum vel ignis immódicæ cupiditátis exǽstuat, vel frígidus humor exúndat, vel pigra quadam terréni córporis habitúdine vigor hebetátur animórum; vel concréta noster spíritus labe, puræ lucis vácuus mentem alit? Hi sunt nostri fúneris portitóres.

This man, then, being dead, was carried out on a bier to the grave by four bearers, even as the sinner is borne to destruction by the four elements of which he is composed. But there was hope in his latter end, from this, that that whereon he was carried was of wood, and wood, albeit it had profited us little before, is become everything to us now since Jesus touched it, being a figure of that gibbet, the Cross, which was made thereof, and wherefrom salvation floweth unto all people. When, therefore, the horrid bearers of the corpse heard the commandment of God, they stood still, and carried no farther him who was dead through the fatal course of a material nature. And is not our case even as that of the widow's son, when we lie, as it were, lifeless, in our spiritual coffin, that is, in the last bed of our soul's death, consumed by the fever of unbridled lust, or frozen by cold-heartedness, or with our whole manliness sapped by some degrading habit of this earthly body, or starved by a spiritual lockjaw that shutteth our mouth to the bright food of our soul? These, and such as these, are they which carry us out to burial.

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

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

℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Stetit Móyses coram Pharaóne, et dixit: Hæc dicit Dóminus:

℟. Moses stood before Pharaoh, and said: Thus saith the Lord:

* Dimítte pópulum meum, ut sacríficet mihi in desérto.

* Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.

℣. Dóminus Deus Hebræórum misit me ad te, dicens.

℣. The Lord God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying:

℟. Dimítte pópulum meum, ut sacríficet mihi in desérto.

℟. Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Sed quamvis supréma mortis spem vitæ omnis aboléverint, et túmulo próxima córpora iáceant defunctórum: verbo tamen Dei iam mórtua resúrgunt cadávera: vox redit, rédditur fílius matri, revocátur a túmulo, erípitur a sepúlcro. Quis iste est túmulus tuus, nisi mali mores? Túmulus tuus perfídia est: sepúlcrum tuum guttur est. Sepúlcrum enim patens, est guttur eórum, unde verba mórtua proferúntur. Ab hoc sepúlcro te líberat Christus: ab hoc túmulo surges, si áudias verbum Dei. Et si grave peccátum est, quod pœniténtiæ lácrimis ipse laváre non possis; fleat pro te mater Ecclésia, quæ pro síngulis tamquam pro únicis fíliis vídua mater intérvenit. Compátitur enim quodam spiritáli dolóre natúræ, cum suos líberos lethálibus vítiis ad mortem cernit urgéri.

But even at the last hour, when the hope of life hath been utterly extinguished, and the bodies of the dead are lying by the side of the grave, by the word of God those carcases live again, yea, arise and speak. Then doth Jesus deliver the son to his mother, for Jesus calleth him out of the grave, and delivereth him from death. O, what is the grave of the soul but a bad life? Sinner! thy grave is unbelief, and thy throat is a sepulchre! Even so is it written: Their throat is an open sepulchre, Ps. v. ii, whereout breathe their pestilential words. Lo! Christ maketh thee free from that grave! If only thou wilt hear the word of God, thou shalt yet arise from that sepulchre! Yea, though thy sin be exceeding weighty, so that the tears of thine own sorrow cannot wash it away, let thy Mother the Church weep for thee, that longing Mother who weepeth for every one of her children as though he were the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Believe me, her spiritual anguish is keen like the anguish of nature, when she seeth her children dead in sin, and carried out to be buried for ever.

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

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

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.
