Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us worship Him.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us worship Him.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
Ant. Christ appeared to us, * O come, let us worship Him.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Crudélis Heródes, Deum
Regem veníre quid times?
Non éripit mortália,
Qui regna dat cæléstia.
Ibant magi, quam víderant,
Stellam sequéntes prǽviam:
Lumen requírunt lúmine:
Deum faténtur múnere.
Lavácra puri gúrgitis
Cæléstis Agnus áttigit:
Peccáta, quæ non détulit,
Nos abluéndo sústulit.
Novum genus poténtiæ:
Aquæ rubéscunt hýdriæ,
Vinúmque iussa fúndere,
Mutávit unda oríginem.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui apparuísti géntibus,
Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
|
Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Why, impious Herod, vainly fear
That Christ the Saviour cometh here?
He takes no earthly realms away
Who gives the crown that lasts for aye.
To greet His birth the Wise Men went,
Led by the star before them sent;
Called on by light, towards light they pressed,
And by their gifts their God confessed.
In holy Jordan's purest wave
The heavenly Lamb vouchsafed to lave;
That He, to whom was sin unknown,
Might cleanse His people from their own.
New miracle of power divine!
The water reddens into wine:
He spake the word: and poured the wave
In other streams than nature gave.
All glory, Lord, to thee we pay
For thine Epiphany to-day:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

1 Cor 6:1-6
1 Audet áliquis vestrum, habens negótium advérsus álterum, iudicári apud iníquos, et non apud sanctos?
2 An nescítis quóniam sancti de hoc mundo iudicábunt? Et si in vobis iudicábitur mundus, indígni estis qui de mínimis iudicétis?
3 Nescítis quóniam ángelos iudicábimus? quanto magis sæculária?
4 Sæculária ígitur iúdicia, si habuéritis: contemptíbiles, qui sunt in Ecclésia, illos constitúite ad iudicándum.
5 Ad verecúndiam vestram dico. Sic non est inter vos sapiens quisquam, qui possit iudicáre inter fratrem suum?
6 Sed frater cum fratre iudício conténdit: et hoc apud infidéles?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Hódie in Iordáne baptizáto Dómino apérti sunt cæli, et sicut colúmba super eum Spíritus mansit, et vox Patris intónuit:

Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor 6:1-6
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints
2 Know you not that the saints shall judge this world And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters
3 Know you not that we shall judge angels how much more things of this world
4 If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. This day, when the Lord was baptized in Jordan, the heavens were opened, and the Spirit descended like a dove, and abode upon Him, and, lo, the voice of the Father was heard, like unto thunder, saying:
* This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.
℣. The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven
℟. This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

1 Cor 6:7-11
7 Iam quidem omníno delíctum est in vobis, quod iudícia habétis inter vos. Quare non magis iniúriam accípitis? quare non magis fraudem patímini?
8 Sed vos iniúriam fácitis, et fraudátis: et hoc frátribus.
9 An nescítis quia iníqui regnum Dei non possidébunt? Nolíte erráre: neque fornicárii, neque idólis serviéntes, neque adúlteri,
10 Neque molles, neque masculórum concubitóres, neque fures, neque avári, neque ebriósi, neque malédici, neque rapáces, regnum Dei possidébunt.
11 Et hæc quidam fuístis: sed ablúti estis, sed sanctificáti estis, sed iustificáti estis in nómine Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, et in Spíritu Dei nostri.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. In colúmbæ spécie Spíritus Sanctus visus est, Patérna vox audíta est:
* Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui.

1 Cor 6:7-11
7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.
9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
10 Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
11 And such some of you were; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Holy Ghost appeared in a bodily shape like a dove, and the voice of the Father was heard:

14 Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power.
15 Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot God forbid.

From the Sermons of St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Patriarch of Constantinople.
Discourse on the Epiphany, 2
I am not able to restrain the outbursts of my happiness. I feel changed and elated. I forget my own meanness while I undertake and try to discharge the office of the great John. It is true that I am not the Forerunner, but at least I come from the desert. Christ is enlightened, or rather, He enlighteneth us with His own light. Christ is baptized; let us go down with Him into the water, that we may come up with Him.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Shine, shine, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come;
* And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
℣. And the Gentiles shall walk in thy light, and kings in the brightness of thy rising.

John is baptizing. Jesus cometh. He cometh that He may make holy him who baptizeth Him; He cometh to bury the old Adam in the waters; He cometh to hallow the blessed flood of Jordan. He Who is Flesh and Spirit cometh to open for all that should ever be baptized that power of generation whereby new peoples are constantly begotten of water and the Holy Ghost. The Baptist will not receive Him. Jesus striveth with him. I, saith John, have need to be baptized of thee. Thus speaketh the candle to the Sun, the voice to the Word.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Jesus came up out of the water, having, in a manner, washed the whole world, and brought it up with Him. And He saw the heavens opened not divided, even those heavens which Adam had once shut upon himself and us his descendants, when the cherub's fiery sword barred the gates of Paradise. And the Holy Spirit bare witness, witness unto Him Who is of One Substance with Himself. And witness was given from Heaven, unto Him that came down from heaven.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem
Ioannes 1:29-34
In illo témpore: Vidit Ioánnes Iesum veniéntem ad se, et ait: Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccátum mundi. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tract. 6 in Ioann., ante med.
Antequam veníret Dóminus ut baptizarétur a Ioánne in Iordáne, nóverat eum illis vócibus, ubi ait: Tu ad me venis baptizári? ego a te débeo baptizári. Sed ecce Dóminum nóverat, nóverat Fílium Dei. Unde probámus quod iam nóverat, quia ipse baptizáret in Spíritu Sancto? Antequam veníret ad flúvium, cum multi ad Ioánnem cúrrerent baptizári, ait illis: Ego quidem baptízo vos in aqua: qui autem post me venit, maior me est: cuius non sum dignus corrígiam calceaménti sólvere: ipse vos baptizábit in Spíritu Sancto, et igni. Iam et hoc nóverat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Stella, quam víderant Magi in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, donec venírent ad locum, ubi puer erat.
* Vidéntes autem eam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno.
℣. Et intrántes domum, invenérunt púerum cum María matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum.
℟. Vidéntes autem eam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 1:29-34
At that time, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
6th Tract on John
John knew Jesus even before He came to be baptized of him in Jordan, as we perceive by the words I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest Thou to me? Behold, how he knew that He was the Lord, how he knew that He was the Son of God! How do we prove that he knew that He it was Who should baptize with the Holy Ghost? Before the Lord came to the river, when many betook themselves to John to be baptized of him, the Baptist said I indeed baptize you with water but One Mightier than I cometh; the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. (Luke iii. 16.) Behold, John knew this also.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The star which the wise men had seen in the East, went before them, till they came where the young Child was.
* And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
℣. And when they were come into the house, they found the young Child with Mary His Mother, and fell down and worshipped Him.
℟. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Quid ergo per colúmbam dídicit, ne mendax póstea inveniátur, (quod avértat a nobis Deus opinári) nisi quamdam proprietátem in Christo talem futúram, ut quamvis multi minístri baptizatúri essent, sive iusti, sive iniústi, non tribuerétur sánctitas baptísmi nisi illi, super quem descéndit colúmba, de quo dictum est: Hic est qui baptízat in Spíritu Sancto? Petrus baptízet, hic est qui baptízat: Paulus baptízet, hic est qui baptízat: Iudas baptízet, hic est qui baptízat. Nam si pro diversitáte meritórum baptísma sanctum est: quia divérsa sunt mérita, divérsa erunt baptísmata: et tanto quisque áliquid mélius putátur accípere, quanto a melióre vidétur accepísse.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Vidéntes stellam Magi, gavísi sunt gáudio magno:
* Et intrántes domum invenérunt púerum cum María matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum: * Et apértis thesáuris suis obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.
℣. Stella, quam víderant Magi in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra ubi erat puer.
℟. Et intrántes domum invenérunt púerum cum María matre eius, et procidéntes adoravérunt eum:

Reading 8
Yet John saith: I knew Him Now, how are we to explain this without calling John a liar? and God forbid that we should ever even think anything of the kind. Was it not that when the Dove descended on Christ, John then for the first time knew Him to have that peculiar attribute, that, whosoever should baptize with His Baptism, whether they were themselves just or unjust, the virtue of the Sacrament should proceed, not from them, but from Him on Whom abode the Dove; so that He is the real Baptizer in every Christian Baptism until the end of time, and it is in this sense that it is said of Him the Same is He Which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost Whether it be Peter, or Paul, or Judas, that performeth the ceremony, the real Baptizer and effectual Worker is Christ. For if the holiness of the baptism depended on the holiness of the particular officiator, no two baptisms would be exactly alike, and every one would be supposed to be more or less regenerated according as the minister who baptized him was more or less of a saint.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. When the wise men saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
* And when they were come into the house, they found the young Child with Mary His Mother, and fell down and worshipped Him; *
and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
℣. The star which the wise men had seen in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
℟. And when they were come into the house, they found the young Child with Mary His Mother, and fell down and worshipped Him.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Quare ergo si unus ab illo, verbi grátia, iusto, sancto baptizétur, álius ab álio inferióris mériti apud Deum, inferióris gradus, inferióris continéntiæ, inferióris vitæ; unum tamen et par et æquále est quod accepérunt, nisi quia hic est, qui baptízat?

Now, my brethren, understand me. The saints themselves, those good men who appertain to the Dove, those good men whose portion is in Jerusalem, those good men in the Church, of whom the Apostle saith: the Lord knoweth them that are His, 2 Tim. ii. 19, these good men differ one from another by diversities of graces, and are not all of the same worthiness. Some are holier than others, and some are better than others. Supposing then for the sake of argument that A is baptized by B, a righteous saint, and C is baptized by D who is less worthy in the sight of God, who hath attained only a lower degree in godliness, who is not so chaste, and whose life is not so good as B's, yet A and C receive just the same thing. And how is this, unless it be that it is Christ Himself Who is the effectual Baptizer?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Common or Feast}
Isa 60:1
Arise, be enlightened, O Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Bethlehem, of noblest cities
None can once with thee compare;
Thou alone the Lord from heaven
Didst for us incarnate bear.
Fairer than the sun at morning
Was the star that told His birth;
To the lands their God announcing,
Hid beneath a form of earth.
By its lambent beauty guided,
See, the eastern kings appear;
See them bend, their gifts to offer,
Gifts of incense, gold, and myrrh.
Solemn things of mystic meaning:
Incense doth the God disclose;
Gold a royal child proclaimeth;
Myrrh a future tomb foreshows.
Holy Jesu, in thy brightness
To the Gentile world displayed,
With the Father and the Spirit,
Endless praise to thee be paid.
Amen.
℣. Worship God. Alleluia.
℟. All ye His angels. Alleluia.

Hymn
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.
51:6 Dilexísti ómnia verba præcipitatiónis, * lingua dolósa.
51:7 Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem, * evéllet te, et emigrábit te de tabernáculo tuo: et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.
51:8 Vidébunt iusti, et timébunt, et super eum ridébunt, et dicent: * Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum adiutórem suum:
51:9 Sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum: * et præváluit in vanitáte sua.

51:6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.
51:7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
51:8 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: * Behold the man that made not God his helper:
51:9 But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.
51:10 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, * have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
51:11 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: * and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.

52:6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.
52:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.

Psalm 52 [3]
52:1 The fool said in his heart: * There is no God.

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.
52:4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.
52:5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, * who eat up my people as they eat bread?
52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.

Martyrologium {anticip.}
On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy Confessor Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, and Doctor of the Church, who passed away to heaven upon this present day.
January 14th 2021, the 30th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Nola, in Campania, the holy Priest Felix. Holy Paulinus, Bishop of the same city, writeth that after the persecutors had put Felix to the torture they committed him to prison, where they laid him in chains, upon shells and potsherds, but in the night an angel loosed him and led him forth. In after-times, when the persecution was over and he had turned many to Christ by his example and teaching, he fell asleep, famous for miracles, (about the year 256.)
In Judea, the holy Prophet Malachi, (415 B.C.)
Upon Mount Sinai, thirty-eight holy monks, who were massacred by the Saracens for Christ's faith's sake, (in the year 373.)

Psalm 57 [3]
57:2 If in very deed you speak justice: * judge right things, ye sons of men.
57:3 For in your heart you work iniquity: * your hands forge injustice in the earth.
57:4 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: * they have spoken false things.
57:5 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: * like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
57:6 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; * nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
57:7 God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: * the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
57:8 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; * he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
57:9 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: * fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
57:10 Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, * as alive, in his wrath.
57:11 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: * he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
57:12 And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: * there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.

Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:

And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.

113:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

113:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, * and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
113:7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, * at the presence of the God of Jacob:

113:9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; * but to thy name give glory.
113:10 For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: * lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?
113:11 But our God is in heaven: * he hath done all things whatsoever he would.

Isa 60:1
Arise, be enlightened, O Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Why, impious Herod, vainly fear
That Christ the Saviour cometh here?
He takes no earthly realms away
Who gives the crown that lasts for aye.
To greet His birth the Wise Men went,
Led by the star before them sent;
Called on by light, towards light they pressed,
And by their gifts their God confessed.
In holy Jordan's purest wave
The heavenly Lamb vouchsafed to lave;
That He, to whom was sin unknown,
Might cleanse His people from their own.
New miracle of power divine!
The water reddens into wine:
He spake the word: and poured the wave
In other streams than nature gave.
All glory, Lord, to thee we pay
For thine Epiphany to-day:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.
℣. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents.
℟. The kings of Arabia and Saba shall offer gifts.

Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
