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.

Ant. Save me, O God * for the waters are come in even unto my soul. ‡
Psalm 68(2-13) [7]
68:2 Save me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
68:3 ‡ I stick fast in the mire of the deep: * and there is no sure standing.
68:3 I am come into the depth of the sea: * and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
68:4 I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: * my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
68:5 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, * who hate me without cause.
68:5 My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: * then did I pay that which I took not away.
68:6 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; * and my offences are not hidden from thee.
68:7 Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, * the Lord of hosts.
68:7 Let them not be confounded on my account, * who seek thee, O God of Israel.
68:8 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; * shame hath covered my face.
68:9 I am become a stranger to my brethren, * and an alien to the sons of my mother.
68:10 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: * and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
68:11 And I covered my soul in fasting: * and it was made a reproach to me.
68:12 And I made haircloth my garment: * and I became a byword to them.
68:13 They that sat in the gate spoke against me: * and they that drank wine made me their song.

68:14 In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, * in the truth of thy salvation.
68:15 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: * deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
68:16 Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: * and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

68:18 And turn not away thy face from thy servant: * for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
68:19 Attend to my soul, and deliver it: * save me because of my enemies.
68:20 Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, * and my shame.
68:21 In thy sight are all they that afflict me; * my heart hath expected reproach and misery.
68:21 And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, * but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
68:22 And they gave me gall for my food, * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
68:23 Let their table become as a snare before them, * and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
68:24 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; * and their back bend thou down always.
68:25 Pour out thy indignation upon them: * and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
68:26 Let their habitation be made desolate: * and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
68:27 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
68:28 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: * and let them not come into thy justice.
68:29 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; * and with the just let them not be written.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri
Liber 2 Comm. in cap. 15. Matthæi
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.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 15:21-28
In that time, Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And so on.
Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.
Bk. ii Comm. on Matth. xv
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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. 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.
* O Thou, Who didst call the Canaanite woman and the Publican unto repentance!
℣. In the multitude of the sorrows within my heart, thy comforts delight my soul.
℟. O Thou Who didst call the Canaanite woman and the Publican unto repentance!

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.

Reading 2
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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. In all things let us approve ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience;

Ipse aútem respóndens ait: Non sum missus, nisi ad oves quæ periérunt domus Israël.

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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Priests shall pray, with fasting and with weeping, and shall say:
* Spare, O Lord, spare thy people; and give not thine heritage to destruction.
℣. The Priests shall weep between the porch and the altar, and shall say:
