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. Let it not be vain for you to rise up early, before the light: * For the Lord hath promised a crown to them that watch.

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 nóxia,
Quæ súbruunt mentes vagas:
Nullúmque demus cállidi
Hostis locum tyránnidi.
Flectámus iram víndicem,
Plorémus ante Iúdicem,
Clamémus ore súpplici,
Dicámus omnes cérnui:
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.

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.

Psalm 2 [2]
2:1 Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?

2:3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
2:4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
2:6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
2:7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
2:10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

9:27 For he hath said in his heart: * I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
9:28 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: * under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
9:29 He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, * that he may kill the innocent.
9:30 His eyes are upon the poor man: * he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den.
9:30 He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: * so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
9:31 In his net he will bring him down, * he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.

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.
2 Apparuítque ei Dóminus in flamma ignis de médio rubi; et vidébat quod rubus ardéret et non comburerétur.
3 Dixit ergo Móyses: Vadam, et vidébo visiónem hanc magnam, quare non comburátur rubus.
4 Cernens autem Dóminus quod pérgeret ad vidéndum, vocávit eum de médio rubi, et ait: Móyses, Móyses! Qui respóndit: Adsum.
5 At ille: Ne apprópies, inquit, huc: solve calceaméntum de pédibus tuis; locus enim, in quo stas, terra sancta est.
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.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Descénde in Ægýptum, et dic Pharaóni:
* Ut dimíttat pópulum meum: indurátum est cor Pharaónis: non vult dimíttere pópulum meum, nisi in manu forti.
℣. Clamor filiórum Israël venit ad me, vidíque afflictiónem eórum: sed veni, mittam te ad Pharaónem.

Lesson from the book of Exodus
Exod 3:1-6
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 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 And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
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 And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Go down now into Egypt, and say unto Pharaoh:
* 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:
℟. 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.

7 Cui ait Dóminus: Vidi afflictiónem pópuli mei in Ægýpto, et clamórem eius audívi propter durítiam eórum qui præsunt opéribus:
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.
9 Clamor ergo filiórum Israël venit ad me: vidíque afflictiónem eórum, qua ab Ægýptiis opprimúntur.
10 Sed veni, et mittam te ad Pharaónem, ut edúcas pópulum meum, fílios Israël de Ægýpto.
Exod 3:11-15
11 Dixítque Móyses ad Deum: Quis sum ego, ut vadam ad Pharaónem, et edúcam fílios Israël de Ægýpto?
12 Qui dixit ei: Ego ero tecum: et hoc habébis signum, quod míserim te: Cum edúxeris pópulum de Ægýpto, immolábis Deo super montem istum.
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?
14 Dixit Deus ad Móysen: Ego sum qui sum. Ait: Sic dices fíliis Israël: Qui est, misit me ad vos.
15 Dixítque íterum Deus ad Móysen: Hæc dices fíliis Israël: Dóminus Deus patrum vestrórum, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob, misit me ad vos; hoc nomen mihi est in ætérnum, et hoc memoriále meum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Exod 3:7-10
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 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 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.
10 But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring forth my people, the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Exod 3:11-15
11 And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
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 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 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.
15 And God said again to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

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.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tract. 24 in Ioannem
Mirácula, quæ fecit Dóminus noster Iesus Christus, sunt quidem divína ópera, et ad intellegéndum Deum de visibílibus ádmonent humánam méntem. 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.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 6:1-15
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.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
24th Tract on John
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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Give ear, O My people, to My law;
* Incline your ears to the words of My mouth.
℣. I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter dark sayings of old.
℟. Incline your ears to the words of My mouth.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Incline your ears to the words of My mouth.
