Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Ætérne Rex altíssime,
Redémptor et fidélium,
Cui mors perémpta détulit
Summæ triúmphum glóriæ:
Ascéndis orbes síderum,
Quo te vocábat cǽlitus
Colláta, non humánitus,
Rerum potéstas ómnium:
Ut trina rerum máchina,
Cæléstium, terréstrium,
Et inferórum cóndita,
Flectat genu jam súbdita.
Tremunt vidéntes Angeli
Versam vicem mortálium:
Peccat caro, mundat caro,
Regnat Deus Dei caro.
Sis ipse nostrum gáudium,
Manens olýmpo prǽmium,
Mundi regis qui fábricam,
Mundána vincens gáudia.
Hinc te precántes quǽsumus,
Ignósce culpis ómnibus,
Et corda sursum súbleva
Ad te supérna grátia.
Ut, cum repénte cœ́peris
Clarére nube júdicis,
Pœnas repéllas débitas,
Reddas corónas pérditas.
Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui victor in cælum redis,
Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Eternal Monarch, King most high,
Whose blood hath brought redemption nigh,
By whom the death of death was wrought,
And conquering grace's battle fought:
Ascending by the starry road,
This day thou wentest home to God,
By heaven to power unending called,
And by no human hand installed.
That so, in nature's triple frame,
Each heavenly and each earthly name,
And things in hell's abyss abhorred,
May bend the knee and own him Lord.
Yea, angels tremble when they see
How changed is our humanity;
That flesh hath purged what flesh had stained,
And God, the flesh of God, hath reigned.
Be thou our joy, O mighty Lord,
As thou wilt be our great reward;
Earth's joys to thee are nothing worth,
Thou joy and crown of heaven and earth.
To thee we therefore humbly pray
That thou wouldst purge our sins away,
And draw our hearts by cords of grace
To thy celestial dwelling-place.
So when the judgement day shall come,
And all must rise to meet their doom,
Thou wilt remit the debts we owe,
And our lost crowns again bestow.
All glory, Lord, to thee we pay,
Ascending o'er the stars today;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

6 And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day.
7 As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
8 In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty.

10 Hi autem quæcúmque quidem ignórant, blasphémant: quæcúmque autem naturáliter, tamquam muta animália, norunt, in his corrumpúntur.
11 Væ illis, quia in via Cain abiérunt, et erróre Bálaam mercéde effúsi sunt, et in contradictióne Core periérunt!
12 Hi sunt in épulis suis máculæ, convivántes sine timóre, semetípsos pascéntes, nubes sine aqua, quæ a ventis circumferéntur, árbores autumnáles, infructuósæ, bis mórtuæ, eradicátæ,

9 When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.
10 But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.
11 Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.
12 These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

20:2 The king rejoices in thy strength, O Lord; * and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
20:3 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: * and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
20:4 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: * thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
20:5 He asked life of thee: * and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
20:6 His glory is great in thy salvation: * glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
20:7 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: * thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
20:8 For the king hopeth in the Lord: * and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
20:9 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: * let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
20:10 Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, * in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
20:11 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: * and their seed from among the children of men.
20:12 For they have intended evils against thee: * they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
20:13 For thou shalt make them turn their back: * in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.

From the Treatise upon the Creed, addressed to Catechumens by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
Bk. iv. ch. I. tom. 9
We are yet the unborn offspring of a great Mother. Our Holy Mother the Church hath by the most sacred sign of the Cross received you into her womb, and from thence she is now just about to bring you forth, as she hath already brought forth your brethren, with thrills of spiritual joy. But until, through the washing of regeneration, she bringeth you forth into true light, she feedeth you in her womb with such food as becometh your condition, and in gladness matureth her children for the glad moment of her delivery. This Mother is not stricken by the doom of Eve, to bring forth children in sorrow, and they themselves oftenertimes weeping than laughing. Rather doth your spiritual Mother annul the sentence of your earthly Eve, by disobedience, endowed her offspring with death the Church, by obedience, giveth them newness of life. All the mystic prayers and ceremonies which have been and are still being performed over you by the ministry of the servants of God, exorcisms, prayers, spiritual songs, onbreathings, haircloth, prostrations, baring of the feet, the dread which ye feel, albeit so safe, all these things, I say unto you, are the nourishment which ye are ever. drawing from your Mother while yet ye are in her womb, that at the baptismal birth she may be able to present you strong and laughing babes unto Christ.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. My time is come that I should return unto Him That sent Me, saith the Lord. Be not sorrowful, neither let your heart be troubled.
* I pray the Father for you, that He may keep you. Alleluia, Alleluia.
℣. If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; where I am ascended, I will send Him unto you.
℟. I pray the Father for you, that He may keep you. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Dracónem diábolum esse, nullus vestrum ignórat: mulíerem illam Vírginem Maríam significásse, quæ caput nostrum íntegra íntegrum péperit; quæ étiam ipsa figúram in se sanctæ Ecclésiæ demonstrávit: ut quómodo Fílium páriens, Virgo permánsit, ita et hæc omni témpore membra ejus páriat, et virginitátem non amíttat.

We have also received the Creed, which is the shield of the travailing Mother against the venom of the dragon. In the Apocalypse of the Apostle John xii. 4 it is written "And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." That this dragon is the devil ye all know. Ye know likewise that by the woman is signified the Virgin Mary, who, herself a Virgin, bore our Virgin Head, and who is revealed unto us as a type of the Holy Church, in that, even as Mary, though she bore a Son, remained a Virgin, so the Church doth in all times give birth to all her members, and yet is ever presented a chaste virgin to Christ. I have undertaken, with the help of the Lord, to expound every clause of the Creed, that I may bring home to your understandings what each containeth. Your hearts are ready, for the enemy hath been shut out of your hearts.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Huic vos renuntiáre proféssi estis: in qua professióne, non homínibus, sed Deo et Angelis ejus conscribéntibus dixístis, Renúntio.

Scitóte vos cum cállido, antíquo, et veternóso inimíco suscepísse certámen: non in vobis post renuntiatiónem invéniat ópera sua, non jure vos áttrahat in servitútem suam. Deprehénderis enim, et detégeris Christiáne, quando áliud agis, et áliud profitéris: fidélis in nómine, áliud demónstrans in ópere, non tenens promissiónis tuæ fidem: modo ingrédiens ecclésiam oratiónes fúndere, post módicum in spectáculis cum histriónibus impudíce clamáre.

We have made profession of renouncing the enemy. At the moment of that profession it was not before men only, but in the presence of God and His Angels that ye said: "I do renounce him." Renounce him, not only in your words, but in your ways not only with your voices, but with your lives not only with your lips, but in your works. Know ye well that the wrestling which ye have undertaken is a strife with an enemy who is subtle, and old, and patient now that ye have once renounced him, let him never again find in you his works never again give him the right to bring you into bondage. O Christian thou wilt be caught and exposed, if thou dost one thing and professest another, if thou art faithful in name, and makest it to be evident by thy works that thou hast broken the faith pledged by this promise if some while thou goest into a church to pray, and anon to the shows to join in applauding obscene representations. What hast thou to do any more with the pomps of the devil, which thou hast renounced?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

102:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, * and never forget all he hath done for thee.
102:3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: * who healeth all thy diseases.
102:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: * who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
102:5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: * thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.
102:6 The Lord doth mercies, * and judgment for all that suffer wrong.
102:7 He hath made his ways known to Moses: * his wills to the children of Israel.
102:8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful: * longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.
102:9 He will not always be angry: * nor will he threaten for ever.
102:10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: * nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
102:11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: * he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
102:12 As far as the east is from the west, * so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
102:13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him: * for he knoweth our frame.
102:14 He remembereth that we are dust: * man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
102:16 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: * and he shall know his place no more.
102:17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity * and unto eternity upon them that fear him:
102:17 And his justice unto children’s children, * to such as keep his covenant,

102:19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: * and his kingdom shall rule over all.
102:20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: * you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
102:21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: * you ministers of his that do his will.
102:22 Bless the Lord, all his works: * in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 14:15-21
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Si dilígitis me, mandáta mea serváte. Et ego rogábo Patrem, et álium Paráclitum dabit vobis. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tractatus 74 in Joannem, sub finem, et 75
Quod ait, Rogábo Patrem, et álium Paráclitum dabit vobis: osténdit et seípsum esse Paráclitum. Paráclitus enim Latíne dícitur advocátus: et dictum est de Christo: Advocátum habémus ad Patrem, Jesum Christum justum. Sic autem mundum dixit non posse accípere Spíritum Sanctum, sicut étiam dictum est: Prudéntia carnis inimíca est Deo: legi enim Dei non est subjécta, nec enim potest: velut si dicámus: Injustítia justítia esse non potest. Mundum quippe ait hoc loco, mundi signíficans dilectóres: quæ diléctio non est a Patre. Et ídeo dilectióni hujus mundi, de qua satágimus ut minuátur et consumátur in nobis, contrária est diléctio Dei, quæ diffúnditur in córdibus nostris per Spíritum Sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Ego rogábo Patrem, et álium Paráclitum dabit vobis,
* Ut máneat vobíscum in ætérnum, Spíritum veritátis, allelúja.
℣. Si enim non abíero, Paráclitus non véniet ad vos: si autem abíero, mittam eum ad vos.
℟. Ut máneat vobíscum in ætérnum, Spíritum veritátis, allelúja.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 14:15-21
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: If ye love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
74th and 75th Tracts on John
By these words of the Lord: "I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter", He doth imply that Himself is a Comforter. The Greek word used, namely "Parakletos," signifieth also an Advocate, and is used in that sense where it is written "We have an Advocate Parakleton with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous." "Even the Spirit of truth, Whom the world cannot receive," because as we read elsewhere, "the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be" as we may say plainly nothing can make unrighteousness righteous. By "the world," in this place, we must understand the lovers of the world, a love which cometh not of the Father. And therefore it is that this love of the world, which we strive to lessen and to destroy in ourselves, is contrary to "the love of God, which is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,
* That He may abide with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth. Alleluia.
℣. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.
℟. That He may abide with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth. Alleluia.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum. Amen.

Mundus ergo eum accípere non potest, quia non videt eum, neque scit eum. Non enim habet invisíbiles óculos mundána diléctio, per quos vidéri Spíritus Sanctus potest, qui vidéri nisi invisibíliter non potest. Vos autem, inquit, cognoscétis eum: quia apud vos manébit, et in vobis erit. Erit in eis, ut máneat; non manébit, ut sit: prius est enim esse alícubi, quam manére. Sed ne putárent quod dictum est, Apud vos manébit; ita dictum, quemádmodum apud hóminem hospes visibíliter manére consuévit, expósuit quid díxerit: Apud vos manébit, cum adjúnxit et dixit, In vobis erit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Si enim non abíero, Paráclitus non véniet ad vos: si autem abíero, mittam eum ad vos.
* Cum autem vénerit ille, docébit vos omnem veritátem, allelúja.
℣. Non enim loquétur a semetípso: sed quæcúmque áudiet, loquétur: et quæ ventúra sunt, annuntiábit vobis.

Reading 8
The Spirit of truth Whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him "for to love the world is to lack those spiritual eyes, which are able to see Him Who is invisible, the Holy Ghost. "But ye know Him," saith the Lord to His disciples, "for He shall dwell with you, and shall be in you." He will be in them to dwell in them, not dwell in them to be in them for one must first be in a place before one dwell there. But lest the Apostles should think that the words, "He shall dwell with you," signified that He should visibly abide with them for a while, as do guests in the houses of men, the Lord saith in explanation "He shall be in you."
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you;
* And when He is come, He will guide you into all truth. Alleluia.
℣. For He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak and He will show you things to come.
℟. And when He is come, He will guide you into all truth. Alleluia.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And when He is come, He will guide you into all truth. Alleluia.

Ergo invisibíliter vidétur. Nec, si non sit in nobis, potest esse in nobis ejus sciéntia: sic enim a nobis vidétur in nobis et nostra consciéntia. Nam fáciem vidémus altérius, nostram vidére non póssumus: consciéntiam vero nostram vidémus, altérius non vidémus. Sed consciéntia nunquam est nisi in nobis: Spíritus autem Sanctus potest esse étiam sine nobis. Datur quippe ut sit et in nobis: sed vidéri et sciri, quemádmodum vidéndus et sciéndus est, non potest a nobis, si non sit in nobis. Post promissiónem Spíritus Sancti, ne quisquam putáret, quod ita eum Dóminus datúrus fúerit velut pro seípso, ut non et ipse cum eis esset futúrus, adjécit atque ait: Non relínquam vos órphanos, véniam ad vos. Quamvis ergo nos Fílius Dei suo Patri adoptáverit fílios, et eúndem Patrem nos volúerit habére per grátiam, qui ejus Pater est per natúram: tamen étiam ipse circa nos patérnum afféctum quodámmodo demónstrat, cum dicit: Non relínquam vos órphanos.

Reading 9
Therefore is He seen That is invisible. If He were not in us we could have in us no knowledge of Him but He is seen in us, as we see our conscience. We see the faces of other men, but we cannot see our Own but of consciences we see none save that within ourselves. But our conscience is never elsewhere but within us whereas the Holy Ghost may be without us, as well as within us. He is given to be within us, and, unless He be within us, we can neither see nor know Him, either within or without us. Then, after that He had promised the Holy Ghost, the Lord, lest they should deem that He was to give them that other Comforter instead of Himself, and that He Himself was to be no longer with them, said also "I will not leave you orphans I will come to you." Therefore, although the Son of God hath made us by adoption sons of His Own Father, and hath willed that the Same Who is His Father by nature should be our Father by grace, nevertheless, He showeth that Himself hath toward us a love as of a Father, where He saith "I will not leave you orphans."
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
