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.

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.

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.

Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum tempora}
Ex more docti mýstico
Servémus hoc ieiúnium,
Deno diérum círculo
Ducto quater notíssimo.

Lex et prophétæ prímitus
Hoc prætulérunt, póstmodum
Christus sacrávit, ómnium
Rex atque factor témporum.

Utámur ergo párcius
Verbis, cibis et pótibus,
Somno, iocis, et árctius
Perstémus in custódia.

Vitémus autem péssima,
Quæ súbruunt mentes vagas:
Nullúmque demus cállidi
Hostis locum tyránnidi.

Dicámus omnes cérnui:
Clamémus atque sínguli,
Plorémus ante Iúdicem,
Flectámus iram víndicem,

Nostris malis offéndimus
Tuam, Deus, cleméntiam:
Effúnde nobis désuper,
Remíssor, indulgéntiam.

Meménto quod sumus tui,
Licet cadúci, plásmatis:
Ne des honórem nóminis
Tui, precámur, álteri.

Laxa malum, quod fécimus,
Auge bonum, quod póscimus:
Placére quo tandem tibi
Possímus hic, et pérpetim.

Præsta, beáta Trínitas,
Concéde, simplex Únitas,
Ut fructuósa sint tuis
Ieiuniórum múnera.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
The fast, as taught by holy lore,
We keep in solemn course once more:
The fast to all men known, and bound
In forty days of yearly round.

The law and seers that were of old
In diverse ways this Lent foretold,
Which Christ, all seasons’ King and Guide,
In after ages sanctified.

More sparing therefore let us make
The words we speak, the food we take,
Our sleep and mirth, —and closer barred
Be every sense in holy guard.

Avoid the evil thoughts that roll
Like waters o’er the heedless soul;
Nor let the foe occasion find
Our souls in slavery to bind.

In prayer together let us fall,
And cry for mercy, one and all,
And weep before the Judge’s feet,
And his avenging wrath entreat.

Thy grace have we offended sore,
By sins, O God, which we deplore;
But pour upon us from on high,
O pardoning One, thy clemency.

Remember thou, though frail we be,
That yet thine handiwork are we;
Nor let the honour of thy name
Be by another put to shame.

Forgive the sin that we have wrought;
Increase the good that we have sought:
That we at length, our wanderings o'er,
May please thee here and evermore.

Grant O thou Blessed Trinity,
Grant, O Essential Unity,
That this our fast of forty days
May work our profit and thy praise.
Amen.

88:21 Invéni David, servum meum: * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.
88:22 Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei: * et brácchium meum confortábit eum.
88:23 Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non appónet nocére ei.
88:24 Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos eius: * et odiéntes eum in fugam convértam.
88:25 Et véritas mea, et misericórdia mea cum ipso: * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu eius.
88:26 Et ponam in mari manum eius: * et in flumínibus déxteram eius.
88:27 Ipse invocábit me: Pater meus es tu: * Deus meus, et suscéptor salútis meæ.
88:28 Et ego primogénitum ponam illum * excélsum præ régibus terræ.
88:29 In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam: * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.
88:30 Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen eius: * et thronum eius sicut dies cæli.
88:31 Si autem derelíquerint fílii eius legem meam: * et in iudíciis meis non ambuláverint:
88:32 Si iustítias meas profanáverint: * et mandáta mea non custodíerint:
88:33 Visitábo in virga iniquitátes eórum: * et in verbéribus peccáta eórum.

88:40 Evertísti testaméntum servi tui: * profanásti in terra Sanctuárium eius.
88:41 Destruxísti omnes sepes eius: * posuísti firmaméntum eius formídinem.

88:50 Ubi sunt misericórdiæ tuæ antíquæ, Dómine, * sicut iurásti David in veritáte tua?
88:51 Memor esto, Dómine, oppróbrii servórum tuórum * quod contínui in sinu meo multárum géntium.

Psalm 88(20-53) [4]
88:20 Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.
88:21 I have found David my servant: * with my holy oil I have anointed him.
88:22 For my hand shall help him: * and my arm shall strengthen him.
88:23 The enemy shall have no advantage over him: * nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.
88:24 And I will cut down his enemies before his face; * and them that hate him I will put to flight.
88:25 And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: * and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
88:26 And I will set his hand in the sea; * and his right hand in the rivers.
88:27 He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: * my God, and the support of my salvation.
88:28 And I will make him my firstborn, * high above the kings of the earth.
88:29 I will keep my mercy for him for ever: * and my covenant faithful to him.
88:30 And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: * and his throne as the days of heaven.
88:31 And if his children forsake my law, * and walk not in my judgments:
88:32 If they profane my justices: * and keep not my commandments:
88:33 I will visit their iniquities with a rod: *and their sins with stripes.
88:34 But my mercy I will not take away from him: * nor will I suffer my truth to fail.
88:35 Neither will I profane my covenant: * and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.
88:36 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: * his seed shall endure for ever.
88:37 And his throne as the sun before me: * and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.
88:39 But thou hast rejected and despised: * thou hast been angry with thy anointed.
88:40 Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: * thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.
88:41 Thou hast broken down all his hedges: * thou hast made his strength fear.
88:42 All that pass by the way have robbed him: * he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
88:43 Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: * thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
88:44 Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; * and hast not assisted him in battle.
88:45 Thou hast made his purification to cease: * and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.
88:46 Thou hast shortened the days of his time: * thou hast covered him with confusion.
88:47 How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? * shall thy anger burn like fire?
88:48 Remember what my substance is: * for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?
88:49 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: * that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
88:50 Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, * according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
88:51 Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants * which I have held in my bosom of many nations:
88:52 Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; * wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.
88:53 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. * So be it. So be it.

93:3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: * how long shall sinners glory?
93:4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: * shall all speak who work injustice?
93:5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: * and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
93:6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: * and they have murdered the fatherless.
93:7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: * neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
93:8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: * and, you fools, be wise at last.
93:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? * or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
93:10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: * he that teacheth man knowledge?

93:12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: * and shalt teach him out of thy law.
93:13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: * till a pit be dug for the wicked.
93:14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: * neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
93:15 Until justice be turned into judgment: * and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
93:16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? * or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
93:17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, * my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
93:18 If I said: My foot is moved: * thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
93:20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, * who framest labour in commandment?
93:21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, * and will condemn innocent blood.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem
Ioannes 4:5-42
In illo témpore: Venit Iesus in civitátem Samaríæ, quæ dícitur Sichar: iuxta prǽdium, quod dedit Iacob Ioseph fílio suo. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tract. 15 in Ioánnem, post init.
Iam incípiunt mystéria. Non enim frustra fatigátur Iesus: non enim frustra fatigátur virtus Dei: non enim frustra fatigátur, per quem fatigáti recreántur: non enim frustra fatigátur, quo deserénte fatigámur, quo præsénte firmámur. Fatigátur tamen Iesus, et fatigátur ab itínere, et sedet, et iuxta púteum sedet, et hora sexta fatigátus sedet. Omnia ista ínnuunt áliquid, indicáre volunt áliquid: ut pulsémus, hortántur. Ipse ergo apériat et nobis et vobis, qui dignátus est ita hortári, ut díceret: Pulsáte, et aperiétur vobis.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Videns Iacob vestiménta Ioseph, scidit vestiménta sua cum fletu, et dixit:

℣. Tulérunt autem fratres eius túnicam illíus, mitténtes ad patrem: quam cum cognovísset pater, ait.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 4:5-42
At that time, Jesus cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And so on.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
15th Tract on John
Jesus, wearied with His journey, the mysteries are beginning now. It is not for nothing that Jesus is wearied. It is not for nothing that the Mighty One of God is wearied. It is not for nothing that He is wearied Who Himself giveth Rest to all them that are weary and heavy-laden. It is not for nothing that He is wearied Whose absence prostrateth us, and Whose presence maketh us to be strong.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. When Jacob saw Joseph's coat he rent his clothes, and mourned; and he said:
* An evil beast hath devoured my son Joseph.
℣. And his brethren took his coat, and sent it to his father and he knew it, and said:
℟. An evil beast hath devoured my son Joseph.
℣. Iube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum. Amen.

Lectio 2
Tibi fatigátus est ab itínere Iesus. Invenímus virtútem Iesum, et invenímus infírmum Iesum: fortem, et infírmum. Fortem, quia in princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum: hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Vis vidére quam iste Fílius Dei fortis sit? Omnia per ipsum facta sunt, et sine ipso factum est nihil: et sine labóre facta sunt. Quid ergo illo fórtius, per quem sine labóre facta sunt ómnia? Infírmum vis nosse? Verbum caro factum est, et habitávit in nobis. Fortitúdo Christi te creávit: infírmitas Christi te recreávit. Fortitúdo Christi fecit, ut quod non erat, esset: infírmitas Christi fecit, ut quod erat, non períret. Cóndidit nos fortitúdine sua, quæsívit nos infirmitáte sua.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Ioseph dum intráret in terram Ægýpti, linguam quam non nóverat, audívit: manus eius in labóribus serviérunt:
* Et lingua eius inter príncipes loquebátur sapiéntiam.
℣. Humiliavérunt in compédibus pedes eius: ferrum petránsiit ánimam eius, donec veníret verbum eius.
℟. Et lingua eius inter príncipes loquebátur sapiéntiam.

Reading 2
Jesus, therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus on the well and it was about the sixth hour. There is a depth in all these details they all have something to say for us to learn. Upon them we gaze. Knock, saith the Lord, and it shall be opened unto you. Let us knock then and, O, may He open to me and to you, even He Who hath spoken to us those words Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matth. vii. 7. It is for thy sake that Jesus was wearied with His journey. We find the strength of Jesus, and we find Jesus weak; yea, strong and weak. Strong, for In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God the Same was in the beginning with God. Wouldest thou know again how that the Son of God is strong? All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made made without effort. John i. 1-3. What then is stronger than He by Whom all things were made without effort? Wouldest thou know His weakness? The Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us. Christ, strong, made thee; Christ, weak, redeemed thee. Christ, strong, made all things out of nothing; Christ, weak, so wrought that that was made perished not. His strength hath made us, and His weakness saved us.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. When Joseph came into the land of Egypt, he heard a language that he understood not; his hands were burdened with labour;
* And his tongue spake wisdom among princes.
℣. Whose feet they hurt with fetters; the iron entered into his soul, until the time that his word came

Nutrit ergo ipse infírmus infírmos, tamquam gallína pullos suos: huic enim se símilem fecit. Quóties vólui, inquit ad Ierúsalem, congregáre fílios tuos sub alas tamquam gallína pullos suos, et noluísti? Vidétis autem, fratres, quemádmodum gallína infirmétur cum pullis suis. Nulla enim ália avis, quod sit mater, agnóscitur. Vidémus nidificáre pásseres quóslibet ante óculos nostros: hirúndines, cicónias, colúmbas cotídie vidémus nidificáre: quos, nisi quando in nidis vidémus, paréntes esse non agnóscimus. Gallína vero sic infirmátur in pullis suis, ut étiam si ipsi pulli non sequántur, fílios non vídeas, matrem tamen intéllegas.

Reading 3
He then, being Himself made weak, is strength to all such as are weak, gathering them together, to use His own figure, even as an hen gathereth her chickens under her wings. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as an hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Matth. xxiii. 37. Consider now, my brethren, in what bondage is an hen to her chickens. There is no other bird in whom motherhood is unmistakeable. We watch the sparrows building their nests under our eyes; we see swallows, and storks, and pigeons building theirs every day. But, unless we actually see them in their nests, we know not if they have little ones, or no. But the hen's motherhood is so much a part of herself, that even if at the minute we see not her children the chickens following after her, nevertheless we see by her ways if she be a mother.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Think on me when it shall be well with thee;
* 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.
℣. For yet three days, and then Pharaoh shall remember thy service, and restore thee unto thy place; then think of me.
℟. And make mention of me unto Pharaoh, that he may bring me out of this prison.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. For I was stolen away; and here have I done nothing, that they should put me into the dungeon.

3:5 God will come from the south, * and the holy one from mount Pharan:
3:6 His glory covered the heavens, * and the earth is full of his praise.
3:7 His brightness shall be as the light: * horns are in his hands:
3:8 There is his strength hid: * Death shall go before his face.
3:9 And the devil shall go forth before his feet. * He stood and measured the earth.
3:10 He beheld, and melted the nations: * and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces.

3:12 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, * the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.

3:15 Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: * according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes.
3:16 Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth. The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: * the great body of waters passed away.
3:17 The deep put forth its voice: * the deep lifted up its hands.
3:18 The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, * in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.
3:19 In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: * in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations.
3:20 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: * for salvation with thy Christ.
3:21 Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: * thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck.
3:22 Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, * them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me.
3:23 Their joy * was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret.
3:24 Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, * in the mud of many waters.
3:25 I have heard and my bowels were troubled: * my lips trembled at the voice.
3:26 Let rottenness enter into my bones, * and swarm under me.
3:27 That I may rest in the day of tribulation: * that I may go up to our people that are girded.
3:28 For the fig tree shall not blossom: * and there shall be no spring in the vines.
3:29 The labour of the olive tree shall fail: * and the fields shall yield no food:
3:30 The flock shall be cut off from the fold, * and there shall be no herd in the stalls.
3:31 But I will rejoice in the Lord: * and I will joy in God my Jesus.
3:32 The Lord God is my strength: * and he will make my feet like the feet of harts:
3:33 And he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places * singing psalms.

Hymn
Jesu, salvation’s Sun Divine,
Within our inmost bosoms shine,
With light all darkness drive away
And give the world a better day.

Now days of grace with mercy flow,
O Lord, the gift of tears bestow,
To wash our stains in every part,
Whilst heavenly fire consumes the heart.

Rise, crystal tears, from that same source
From whence our sins derive their course;
Nor cease, till hardened hearts relent,
And softened by your streams, repent.

Behold, the happy days return,
The days of joy for them that mourn;
May we of their indulgence share,
And bless the God that grants our prayer.

May heaven and earth aloud proclaim
The Trinity’s almighty fame;
And we, restored to grace, rejoice
In newness both of heart and voice.
Amen.

℣. For he hath given his angels charge over thee;
℟. To keep thee in all thy ways.

Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.

Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.

Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,

Ipsi canámus glóriam.

Eiúsque soli Fílio,

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.

16:13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; * deliver my soul from the wicked one; thy sword from the enemies of thy hand.
16:14 O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: * their belly is filled from thy hidden stores.

17:6 Dolóres inférni circumdedérunt me: * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.
17:7 In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum, * et ad Deum meum clamávi.
17:7 Et exaudívit de templo sancto suo vocem meam: * et clamor meus in conspéctu eius, introívit in aures eius.

17:16 Ab increpatióne tua, Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.
17:17 Misit de summo, et accépit me: * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis.
17:18 Erípuit me de inimícis meis fortíssimis, et ab his qui odérunt me: * quóniam confortáti sunt super me.
17:19 Prævenérunt me in die afflictiónis meæ: * et factus est Dóminus protéctor meus.
17:20 Et edúxit me in latitúdinem: * salvum me fecit, quóniam vóluit me.
17:21 Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam: * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum retríbuet mihi:

Psalm 17(2-25) [3]
17:2 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength: * The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer.
17:3 My God is my helper, * and in him will I put my trust.
17:3 My protector, and the horn of my salvation, * and my support.
17:4 Praising, I will call upon the Lord: * and I shall be saved from my enemies.
17:5 The sorrows of death surrounded me: * and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
17:6 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: * and the snares of death prevented me.
17:7 In my affliction I called upon the Lord, * and I cried to my God:
17:7 And he heard my voice from his holy temple: * and my cry before him came into his ears.
17:8 The earth shook and trembled: * the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
17:9 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: * coals were kindled by it.
17:10 He bowed the heavens, and came down, * and darkness was under his feet.
17:11 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; * he flew upon the wings of the winds.
17:12 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: * dark waters in the clouds of the air.
17:13 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, * hail and coals of fire.
17:14 And the Lord thundered from heaven, * and the Highest gave his voice: * hail and coals of fire.
17:15 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: * he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
17:16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, * and the foundations of the world were discovered:
17:16 At thy rebuke, O Lord, * at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
17:17 He sent from on high, and took me: * and received me out of many waters.
17:18 He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: * for they were too strong for me.
17:19 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: * and the Lord became my protector.
17:20 And he brought me forth into a large place: * he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
17:21 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; * and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
17:22 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; * and have not done wickedly against my God.
17:23 For all his judgments are in my sight: * and his justices I have not put away from me.
17:24 And I shall be spotless with him: * and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
17:25 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice: * and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
℣. 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.
Ant. As I live, saith the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the sinner, but rather that he be converted and live.

Martyrologium (anticip.)
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.

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.
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.
At Nicomedia, the ten thousand holy martyrs who were slain with the sword for confessing Christ.
Also the holy martyrs Trophimus and Eucarpius, [fourth century.]
In England, holy Edward II., King of the English, who was murdered through a plot of his stepmother, and hath been famous for many miracles, [962-978.]
At Lucca, in Tuscany, holy Finnan, Bishop of that see, [in the sixth century,] famous for the power of working miracles, but whose principal feast is kept upon the 18th day of November, which is that of the translation of his body.
At Mantua, the holy Confessor Anselm, Bishop of the see, [in the year 1086.]

Ex Régula Sancti Patri Nostri Benedícti. Caput 38: De ebdomadário lectóre

Mensis fratrum léctio deésse non debet, nec fortúito casu qui arripúerit códicem légere ibi, sed lectúrus tota ebdómada domínica ingrediátur. Qui ingrédiens post missas et communiónem petat ab ómnibus pro se orári, ut avértat ab ipso Deus spíritum elatiónis. Et dicátur hic versus in oratório tértio ab ómnibus, ipso tamen incipiénte: Dómine, lábia mea apéries, et os meum adnuntiábit laudem tuam. Et sic accépta benedictióne ingrediátur ad legéndum. Et summum fiat siléntium, ut nullus musitátio vel vox nisi solíus legéntis ibi audiátur. Quæ vero necessária sunt comedéntibus et bibéntibus sic sibi vicíssim minístrent fratres, ut nullus indígeat pétere áliquid. Si quid tamen opus fúerit, sónitu cuiuscúmque signi pótius petátur quam voce. Nec præsúmat ibi áliquis de ipsa lectióne aut aliúnde quicquam requírere, ne detur occásio; nisi forte prior pro ædificatióne volúerit áliquid bréviter dícere. Frater autem lector ebdomadárius accípiat mixtum, priúsquam incípiat légere, propter communiónem sanctam, et ne forte grave si ei ieiúnium sustinére. Póstea autem cum coquínæ ebdomadáriis et servitóribus refíciat. Fratres autem non per órdinem legant aut cantent, sed qui ædíficant audiéntes.

Regula
The Rule of our Holy Father Benedict. Chapter 38: Concerning the Weekly Reader

Reading ought not to be wanting to the brethren when they eat at table: and let not anyone presume to read there because he happens to have casually picked up the book, but let one who is to read for the whole week enter upon his office on the Lord’s day: and when he enters upon his office let him, after the Mass and Communion, beg of all prayers for himself that God avert from him the spirit of pride: and let this versicle be said in the oratory thrice by all, he himself however beginning it: “Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord; and my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise”; and so having received his blessing let him enter upon his office of reading: and let complete silence be kept so that the whispering of none be heard there, nor the voice of any but of him only who is reading: and let the brethren who are eating and drinking pass each other such things as they require so that no one may have to ask for anything; but if it should be necessary, it were better to make request by means of some sound-signal rather than by word of mouth: and let not anyone presume to ask any question there whether about the reading or otherwise, that occasion be not given for talking, unless by chance the superior wish to say anything briefly for the purpose of edification.

And let the brother who is weekly reader receive a “mixtum” before he begins to read, both because of the Holy Communion and also lest by chance it be too great strain upon him to keep his fast; and afterwards let him take his meal with the weekly kitcheners and the servitor. And let not all the brethren read or sing in order, but only those who may edify their hearers.

Come Holy Ghost who ever One
Art with the Father and the Son,
It is the hour, our souls possess
With thy full flood of holiness.

Let flesh and heart and lips and mind
Sound forth our witness to mankind;
And love light up our mortal frame,
Till others catch the living flame.

Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

O kind Creator, bow thine ear
To mark the cry, to know the tear
Before thy throne of mercy spent
In this thy holy fast of Lent.

Our hearts are open, Lord, to thee:
Thou knowest our infirmity;
Pour out on all who seek thy face
Abundance of thy pardoning grace.

Our sins are many, this we know;
Spare us, good Lord, thy mercy show;
And for the honour of thy name
Our fainting souls to life reclaim.

Give us the self-control that springs
From discipline of outward things,
That fasting inward secretly
The soul may purely dwell with thee.

We pray thee, Holy Trinity,
One God, unchanging Unity,
That we from this our abstinence
May reap the fruits of penitence.
Amen.

℣. For he hath given his angels charge over thee;
℟. To keep thee in all thy ways.

Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut sólita cleméntia
Sis præsul ad custódiam.

Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nóstrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.

Præsta, Pater omnípotens,
Per Iesum Christum Dóminum,
Qui tecum in perpétuum
Regnat cum Sancto Spíritu.

Hymn
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.
