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 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.
℣. 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.

93:9 Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet? * aut qui finxit óculum, non consíderat?
93:10 Qui córripit gentes, non árguet: * qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?
93:11 Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum, * quóniam vanæ sunt.
93:12 Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine: * et de lege tua docúeris eum,
93:13 Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: * donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.
93:14 Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: * et hereditátem suam non derelínquet.

93:2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: * render a reward to the proud.
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.

93:9 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.
93:22 But the Lord is my refuge: * and my God the help of my hope.
93:23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: * the Lord our God will destroy them.

In illo témpore: Erat dies festus Iudæórum, et ascéndit Iesus Ierosólymam. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tractatus 17 in Ioannem, post initium
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.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Emendémus in mélius, quæ ignoránter peccávimus: ne súbito præoccupáti die mortis, quærámus spátium pœniténtiæ, et inveníre non possímus:

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 5:1-15
In that time was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And so on.
Homily of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
17th Tract on John
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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. 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.
* Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.
℣. Help us, O God of our salvation, and for the glory of thy Name deliver us, O Lord.
℟. Give heed, O Lord, and have mercy upon us, for we have sinned against thee.

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.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius:

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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. 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;
* For the Lord our God is gracious, and merciful, and repenteth Him of the evil.
℣. The Lord hath no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that he turn from his way and live.
℟. For the Lord our God is gracious, and merciful, and repenteth Him of the evil.

Mementóte quod proposúerim númerum trigínta ócto 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?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 3
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. If, then, the law is fulfilled in the number forty, and it is not fulfilled if there be lacking the two precepts of love, what wonder is it that he was infirm who lacked two of forty?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The season of the Fast openeth unto us the gates of heaven; let us enter thereon in prayer and supplication,
* That on the day when the Lord riseth again we may rejoice with Him.
℣. In all things let us approve ourselves the ministers of God, in much patience.
℟. That on the day when the Lord riseth again we may rejoice with Him.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. That on the day when the Lord riseth again we may rejoice with Him.

100:7 He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: * he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.
