Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

Start
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

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.

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 Commune aut Festo}
Deus tuórum mílitum
Sors, et córona, prǽmium,
Laudes canéntes Mártyris
Absólve nexu críminis.

Hic nempe mundi gáudia,
Et blanda fraudum pábula
Imbúta felle députans,
Pervénit ad cæléstia.

Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,
Et sústulit viríliter,
Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.

Ob hoc precátu súpplici
Te póscimus, piíssime;
In hoc triúmpho Mártyris
Dimítte noxam sérvulis.

Laus et perénnis glória
Patri sit, atque Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.

He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.

Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.

With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.

Glory and praise for aye be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,
One God, to all eternity.
Amen.

De libro Ecclesiástæ
Eccl 7:1-3
1 Quid necésse est hómini majóra se quǽrere, cum ignóret quid condúcat sibi in vita sua, número diérum peregrinatiónis suæ et témpore quod velut umbra prǽterit? Aut quis ei póterit indicáre quid post eum futúrum sub sole sit?
2 Mélius est nomen bonum quam unguénta pretiósa, et dies mortis die nativitátis.
3 Mélius est ire ad domum luctus quam ad domum convívii; in illa enim finis cunctórum admonétur hóminum, et vivens cógitat quid futúrum sit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Dómine, Pater et Deus vitæ meæ, ne derelínquas me in cogitátu malígno: extolléntiam oculórum meórum ne déderis mihi, et desidérium malígnum avérte a me, Dómine; aufer a me concupiscéntiam,
* Et ánimo irreverénti et infruníto ne tradas me, Dómine.
℣. Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, ne accréscant ignorántiæ meæ, nec multiplicéntur delícta mea.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiastes
Eccl 7:1-3
1 What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun?
2 A good name is better than precious ointments: and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
3 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. O Lord, Father and God of my life, leave me not to evil counsels; give me not a proud look, but turn away from me an haughty mind, O Lord turn away from me concupiscence,
* And give me not over unto an impudent and froward mind, O Lord!
℣. Leave me not, O Lord, lest mine ignorance increase, and my sins abound.
℟. And give me not over unto an impudent and froward mind, O Lord.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adjuváre dignétur. Amen.

Eccl 7:4-9
4 Mélior est ira risu, quia per tristítiam vultus corrígitur ánimus delinquéntis.
5 Cor sapiéntium ubi tristítia est, et cor stultórum ubi lætítia.
6 Mélius est a sapiénte córripi, quam stultórum adulatióne décipi;
7 Quia sicut sónitus spinárum ardéntium sub olla, sic risus stulti; sed et hoc vánitas.
8 Calúmnia contúrbat sapiéntem et perdet robur cordis illíus.
9 Mélior est finis oratiónis quam princípium, mélior est pátiens arrogánte.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Magna enim sunt judícia tua, Dómine, et inenarrabília verba tua:
* Magnificásti pópulum tuum et honorásti.
℣. Transtulísti illos per Mare Rubrum et transvexísti eos per aquam nímiam.
℟. Magnificásti pópulum tuum et honorásti.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Son, the Sole-begotten, mercifully bless and keep us. Amen.

Reading 2
Eccl 7:4-9
4 Anger is better than laughter: because by the sadness of the countenance the mind of the offender is corrected.
5 The heart of the wise is where there is mourning, and the heart of fools where there is mirth.
6 It is better to be rebuked by a wise man, than to be deceived by the flattery of fools.
7 For as the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool: now this also is vanity.
8 Oppression troubleth the wise, and shall destroy the strength of his heart.
9 Better is the end of a speech than the beginning. Better is the patient man than the presumptuous.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Great are thy judgments, O Lord, and thy words cannot be expressed.
* Thou didst make thy people mighty and honourable.
℣. Thou broughtest them through the Red Sea, and leddest them through much water.
℟. Thou didst make thy people mighty and honourable.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Spíritus Sancti grátia illúminet sensus et corda nostra. Amen.

Lectio 3
Eccl 7:11-14
11 Ne dicas: Quid putas causæ est quod prióra témpora melióra fuére quam nunc sunt? stulta enim est hujuscémodi interrogátio.
12 Utílior est sapiéntia cum divítiis et magis prodest vidéntibus solem.
13 Sicut enim prótegit sapiéntia, sic prótegit pecúnia; hoc autem plus habet erudítio et sapiéntia, quod vitam tríbuunt possessóri suo.
14 Consídera ópera Dei, quod nemo possit corrígere quem ille despéxerit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Quæ sunt in corde hóminum, óculi tui vident, Dómine, et in libro tuo ómnia scribéntur:
* Homo videt in fácie, Deus autem in corde.
℣. Omnia enim corda scrutátur, et univérsas méntium cogitatiónes intéllegit.
℟. Homo videt in fácie, Deus autem in corde.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Homo videt in fácie, Deus autem in corde.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the grace of the Holy Spirit enlighten all our hearts and minds. Amen.

Reading 3
Eccl 7:11-14
11 Say not: What thinkest thou is the cause that former times were better than they are now? for this manner of question is foolish.
12 Wisdom with riches is more profitable, and bringeth more advantage to them that see the sun.
13 For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them.
14 Consider the works of God, that no man can correct whom he hath despised.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Lord, thine eyes behold all that is in the heart of man, and in thy book are they all written.
* Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart.
℣. For He searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts.
℟. Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Man looketh on the outward appearance, but God looketh on the heart.

101:12 Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt: * et ego sicut fænum árui.
101:13 Tu autem, Dómine, in ætérnum pérmanes: * et memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
101:14 Tu exsúrgens miseréberis Sion: * quia tempus miseréndi ejus, quia venit tempus.
101:15 Quóniam placuérunt servis tuis lápides ejus: * et terræ ejus miserebúntur.
101:16 Et timébunt gentes nomen tuum, Dómine, * et omnes reges terræ glóriam tuam.
101:17 Quia ædificávit Dóminus Sion: * et vidébitur in glória sua.
101:18 Respéxit in oratiónem humílium: * et non sprevit precem eórum.
101:19 Scribántur hæc in generatióne áltera: * et pópulus, qui creábitur, laudábit Dóminum:
101:20 Quia prospéxit de excélso sancto suo: * Dóminus de cælo in terram aspéxit:
101:21 Ut audíret gémitus compeditórum: * ut sólveret fílios interemptórum:
101:22 Ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini: * et laudem ejus in Jerúsalem.
101:23 In conveniéndo pópulos in unum, * et reges ut sérviant Dómino.
101:24 Respóndit ei in via virtútis suæ: * Paucitátem diérum meórum núntia mihi.
101:25 Ne révoces me in dimídio diérum meórum: * in generatiónem et generatiónem anni tui.
101:26 Inítio tu, Dómine, terram fundásti: * et ópera mánuum tuárum sunt cæli.
101:27 Ipsi períbunt, tu autem pérmanes: * et omnes sicut vestiméntum veteráscent.
101:28 Et sicut opertórium mutábis eos, et mutabúntur: * tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non defícient.

Psalm 101 [5]
101:2 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: * and let my cry come to thee.
101:3 Turn not away thy face from me: * in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me.
101:3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * hear me speedily.
101:4 For my days are vanished like smoke: * and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
101:5 I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: * because I forgot to eat my bread.
101:6 Through the voice of my groaning, * my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
101:7 I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: * I am like a night raven in the house.
101:8 I have watched, * and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
101:9 All the day long my enemies reproached me: * and they that praised me did swear against me.
101:10 For I did eat ashes like bread, * and mingled my drink with weeping.
101:11 Because of thy anger and indignation: * for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
101:12 My days have declined like a shadow, * and I am withered like grass.
101:13 But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: * and thy memorial to all generations.
101:14 Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: * for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
101:15 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: * and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
101:16 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, * and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
101:17 For the Lord hath built up Sion: * and he shall be seen in his glory.
101:18 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: * and he hath not despised their petition.
101:19 Let these things be written unto another generation: * and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
101:20 Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: * from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
101:21 That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: * that he might release the children of the slain:
101:22 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: * and his praise in Jerusalem;
101:23 When the people assemble together, * and kings, to serve the Lord.
101:24 He answered him in the way of his strength: * Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
101:25 Call me not away in the midst of my days: * thy years are unto generation and generation.
101:26 In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: * and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
101:27 They shall perish but thou remainest: * and all of them shall grow old like a garment:
101:28 And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. * But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
101:29 The children of thy servants shall continue: * and their seed shall be directed for ever.
℣. 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.

102:7 Notas fecit vias suas Móysi, * fíliis Israël voluntátes suas.
102:8 Miserátor, et miséricors Dóminus: * longánimis, et multum miséricors.
102:9 Non in perpétuum irascétur: * neque in ætérnum comminábitur.
102:10 Non secúndum peccáta nostra fecit nobis: * neque secúndum iniquitátes nostras retríbuit nobis.
102:11 Quóniam secúndum altitúdinem cæli a terra: * corroborávit misericórdiam suam super timéntes se.
102:12 Quantum distat ortus ab occidénte: * longe fecit a nobis iniquitátes nostras.
102:13 Quómodo miserétur pater filiórum, misértus est Dóminus timéntibus se: * quóniam ipse cognóvit figméntum nostrum.
102:14 Recordátus est quóniam pulvis sumus: * homo, sicut fænum dies ejus, tamquam flos agri sic efflorébit.
102:16 Quóniam spíritus pertransíbit in illo, et non subsístet: * et non cognóscet ámplius locum suum.
102:17 Misericórdia autem Dómini ab ætérno, * et usque in ætérnum super timéntes eum.
102:17 Et justítia illíus in fílios filiórum, * his qui servant testaméntum ejus:
102:18 Et mémores sunt mandatórum ipsíus, * ad faciéndum ea.
102:19 Dóminus in cælo parávit sedem suam: * et regnum ipsíus ómnibus dominábitur.
102:20 Benedícite Dómino, omnes Ángeli ejus: * poténtes virtúte, faciéntes verbum illíus, ad audiéndam vocem sermónum ejus.
102:21 Benedícite Dómino, omnes virtútes ejus: * minístri ejus, qui fácitis voluntátem ejus.
102:22 Benedícite Dómino, ómnia ópera ejus: * in omni loco dominatiónis ejus, bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino.

102:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: * and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
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,
102:18 And are mindful of his commandments * to do them.
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.

Psalmus 103 [7]
103:1 Bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino: * Dómine, Deus meus, magnificátus es veheménter.
103:1 Confessiónem, et decórem induísti: * amíctus lúmine sicut vestiménto:
103:2 Exténdens cælum sicut pellem: * qui tegis aquis superióra ejus.
103:3 Qui ponis nubem ascénsum tuum: * qui ámbulas super pennas ventórum.
103:4 Qui facis ángelos tuos, spíritus: * et minístros tuos ignem uréntem.
103:5 Qui fundásti terram super stabilitátem suam: * non inclinábitur in sǽculum sǽculi.
103:6 Abýssus, sicut vestiméntum, amíctus ejus: * super montes stabunt aquæ.
103:7 Ab increpatióne tua fúgient: * a voce tonítrui tui formidábunt.
103:8 Ascéndunt montes: et descéndunt campi * in locum, quem fundásti eis.
103:9 Términum posuísti, quem non transgrediéntur: * neque converténtur operíre terram.
103:10 Qui emíttis fontes in convállibus: * inter médium móntium pertransíbunt aquæ.
103:11 Potábunt omnes béstiæ agri: * exspectábunt ónagri in siti sua.
103:12 Super ea vólucres cæli habitábunt: * de médio petrárum dabunt voces.
103:13 Rigans montes de superióribus suis: * de fructu óperum tuórum satiábitur terra:
103:14 Prodúcens fænum juméntis, * et herbam servitúti hóminum:
103:14 Ut edúcas panem de terra: * et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis:
103:15 Ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo: * et panis cor hóminis confírmet.
103:16 Saturabúntur ligna campi, et cedri Líbani, quas plantávit: * illic pásseres nidificábunt.
103:17 Heródii domus dux est eórum: * montes excélsi cervis: petra refúgium herináciis.
103:19 Fecit lunam in témpora: * sol cognóvit occásum suum.
103:20 Posuísti ténebras, et facta est nox: * in ipsa pertransíbunt omnes béstiæ silvæ.

103:24 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * ómnia in sapiéntia fecísti: impléta est terra possessióne tua.
103:25 Hoc mare magnum, et spatiósum mánibus: * illic reptília, quorum non est númerus.
103:26 Animália pusílla cum magnis: * illic naves pertransíbunt.
103:27 Draco iste, quem formásti ad illudéndum ei: * ómnia a te exspéctant ut des illis escam in témpore.
103:28 Dante te illis, cólligent: * aperiénte te manum tuam, ómnia implebúntur bonitáte.

Psalm 103 [7]
103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: * O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great.
103:1 Thou hast put on praise and beauty: * and art clothed with light as with a garment.
103:2 Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: * who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water.
103:3 Who makest the clouds thy chariot: * who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
103:4 Who makest thy angels spirits: * and thy ministers a burning fire.
103:5 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: * it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
103:6 The deep like a garment is its clothing: * above the mountains shall the waters stand.
103:7 At thy rebuke they shall flee: * at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
103:8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend * into the place which thou hast founded for them.
103:9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
103:10 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: * between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
103:11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
103:12 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
103:13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: * the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
103:14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men.
103:14 That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: * and that wine may cheer the heart of man.
103:15 That he may make the face cheerful with oil: * and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
103:16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: * there the sparrows shall make their nests.
103:17 The highest of them is the house of the heron. * The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
103:19 He hath made the moon for seasons: * the sun knoweth his going down.
103:20 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: * in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
103:21 The young lions roaring after their prey, * and seeking their meat from God.
103:22 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
103:23 Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
103:24 How great are thy works, O Lord? * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
103:25 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: * there are creeping things without number:
103:26 Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
103:27 This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
103:28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
103:29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
103:30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
103:31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
103:32 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: * he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
103:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: * I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
103:34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
103:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: * O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
℣. 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.

104:12 Cum essent número brevi, * paucíssimi et íncolæ ejus:
104:13 Et pertransiérunt de gente in gentem, * et de regno ad pópulum álterum.
104:14 Non relíquit hóminem nocére eis: * et corrípuit pro eis reges.
104:15 Nolíte tángere christos meos: * et in prophétis meis nolíte malignári.
104:16 Et vocávit famem super terram: * et omne firmaméntum panis contrívit.

104:18 Humiliavérunt in compédibus pedes ejus, ferrum pertránsiit ánimam ejus * donec veníret verbum ejus.
104:19 Elóquium Dómini inflammávit eum: * misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populórum, et dimísit eum.
104:21 Constítuit eum dóminum domus suæ: * et príncipem omnis possessiónis suæ:
104:22 Ut erudíret príncipes ejus sicut semetípsum: * et senes ejus prudéntiam docéret.
104:23 Et intrávit Israël in Ægýptum: * et Jacob áccola fuit in terra Cham.
104:24 Et auxit pópulum suum veheménter: * et firmávit eum super inimícos ejus.
104:25 Convértit cor eórum ut odírent pópulum ejus: * et dolum fácerent in servos ejus.
104:26 Misit Móysen, servum suum: * Aaron, quem elégit ipsum.
104:27 Pósuit in eis verba signórum suórum: * et prodigiórum in terra Cham.
104:28 Misit ténebras, et obscurávit: * et non exacerbávit sermónes suos.
104:29 Convértit aquas eórum in sánguinem: * et occídit pisces eórum.
104:30 Édidit terra eórum ranas: * in penetrálibus regum ipsórum.

Psalm 104 [8]
104:1 Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: * declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
104:2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: * relate all his wondrous works.
104:3 Glory ye in his holy name: * let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
104:4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: * seek his face evermore.
104:5 Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; * his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
104:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant; * ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
104:7 He is the Lord our God: * his judgments are in all the earth.
104:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: * the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
104:9 Which he made to Abraham; * and his oath to Isaac:
104:10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, * and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
104:11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, * the lot of your inheritance.
104:12 When they were but a small number: * yea very few, and sojourners therein:
104:13 And they passed from nation to nation, * and from one kingdom to another people.
104:14 He suffered no man to hurt them: * and he reproved kings for their sakes.
104:15 Touch ye not my anointed: * and do no evil to my prophets.
104:16 And he called a famine upon the land: * and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
104:17 He sent a man before them: * Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
104:18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, * until his word came.
104:19 The word of the Lord inflamed him: * the king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
104:21 He made him master of his house, * and ruler of all his possession.
104:22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, * and teach his ancients wisdom.
104:23 And Israel went into Egypt: * and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
104:24 And he increased his people exceedingly: * and strengthened them over their enemies,
104:25 He turned their heart to hate his people: * and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
104:26 He sent Moses his servant: * Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
104:27 He gave them power to shew his signs, * and his wonders in the land of Cham.
104:28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: * and grieved not his words.
104:29 He turned their waters into blood, * and destroyed their fish.
104:30 Their land brought forth frogs, * in the inner chambers of their kings.
104:31 He spoke, and there came diverse sorts of flies, * and sciniphs in all their coasts.
104:32 He gave them hail for rain, * a burning fire in the land.
104:33 And he destroyed their vineyards, and their fig trees: * and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
104:34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, * of which there was no number.
104:35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, * and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
104:36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: * the firstfruits of all their labour.
104:37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: * and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.
104:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: * for the fear of them lay upon them.
104:39 He spread a cloud for their protection, * and fire to give them light in the night.
104:40 They asked, and the quail came: * and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
104:41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: * rivers ran down in the dry land.
104:42 Because he remembered his holy word, * which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
104:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, * and his chosen with gladness.
104:44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: * and they possessed the labours of the people:
104:45 That they might observe his justifications, * and seek after his law.

Serm. 30. de Sanctis.
Beatissimi Laurentii Martyris, cujus natalem hodie celebramus, passionem nosse vos credo: et quanta in persecutione pertulerit, dilectionem vestram scire posse non dubito. Tanta enim ejus martyrii gloria exstitit, ut passione sua mundum illuminaverit universum. Illuminavit mundum plane Laurentius eo lumine, quo ipse accensus est, et flammis quas ipse pertulit, omnium Christianorum corda calefecit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Quo progréderis sine fílio, pater? quo, sacérdos sancte, sine diácono próperas?
* Tu nunquam sine minístro sacrifícium offérre consuéveras.
℣. Quid ergo in me displícuit paternitáti tuæ? numquid degénerem me probásti? Experíre utrum idóneum minístrum elégeris, cui commisísti Domínici sánguinis dispensatiónem.
℟. Tu nunquam sine minístro sacrifícium offérre consuéveras.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May God the Father Omnipotent, be to us merciful and clement. Amen.

From the Sermons of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
30th on the Saints.
I belive that ye know the history of the sufferings of that most blessed Martyr, Lawrence, whose birth-day we are keeping this day, and I doubt not, my beloved brethren, but that ye may know what agonies he endured under the persecutors. So illustrious is the glory of his martyrdom, that the splendour thereof shineth throughout the whole world. And this light, which Lawrence maketh so clearly to shine throughout the world, is the light of the fire wherewith he himself was enkindled. By the flames which he endured, he hath made hot every Christian heart.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Father, whither goest thou without thy son? Holy Priest, dost thou fare hence without a Deacon?
* It hath never been thy use to offer sacrifice without a minister.
℣. What therefore in me hath displeased thee, my Father? Hast thou tried me and found me unworthy to be called thy son? Make trial if I am indeed a useless servant, even I, whom thou didst choose, to commit unto me the administration of the Cup of the Blood of the Lord.
℟. It hath never been thy use to offer sacrifice without a minister.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ. Amen.

Lectio 5
Quis nolit ad horam uri Laurentii igne, ut æternum gehennæ non patiatur incendium? Beati igitur Laurentii exemplo provocamur ad martyrium, et accendimur ad fidem, incalescimus ad devotionem: et si in nobis persecutoris flamma deest, fidei tamen flamma non deest. Non ardemus quidem corpore pro Christo, sed ardemus affectu: non subjicit mihi persecutor ignem: sed suggerit mihi ignem desiderium Salvatoris.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Noli me derelínquere, pater sancte, quia thesáuros tuos jam expéndi.
* Non ego te désero, fili, neque derelínquo; sed majóra tibi debéntur pro fide Christi certámina.
℣. Nos quasi senes levióris pugnæ cursum recípimus, te autem quasi júvenem manet gloriósior de tyránno triúmphus: post tríduum me sequéris sacerdótem levíta.
℟. Non ego te désero, fili, neque derelínquo; sed majóra tibi debéntur pro fide Christi certámina.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live. Amen.

Reading 5
Who is there but knoweth how that Lawrence chose rather to burn in earthly flames for a while, than to suffer the eternal fire of hell? The example, therefore, of blessed Lawrence provoketh us to lift up our testimony, kindleth our faith, and setteth our love all a-glow. If for us there are now no fires of persecution, the flame of faith is not therefore quenched. We give not our bodies to be burned for Christ's sake, but our hearts burn with His love. The persecutor stirreth up no fire around me, but a fire is stirred up in me by the longing for the presence of my Saviour.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Leave me not, holy Father, for I have spent already thy treasures.
* I leave thee not, my son, neither forsake thee but there awaiteth thee for Christ's truth a wrestling sterner than mine.
℣. We, as old men, have an easier race to run; for thee in thy youth, there is kept a more glorious victory over the enemy; yet three days, and thou shalt follow me, the Deacon behind the Priest.
℟. I leave thee not, my son, neither forsake thee but there awaiteth thee for Christ's truth a wrestling sterner than mine.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris. Amen.

Lectio 6
Esse autem Salvatoris ignem legimus in Evangelio, dicente eodem Domino: Nescitis quia veni ignem mittere in terram? Et quid volo, nisi ut accendatur? Quo igne succensi illi duo discipuli dixerunt: Nonne cor nostrum ardens erat in nobis, dum loqueretur in via, et aperiret nobis Scripturas? Hoc igitur igne beatus Laurentius accensus, flammarum non sentit incendium: et dum Christi ardet desiderio, persecutoris pœnam non sentit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Beátus Lauréntius clamávit et dixit: Deum meum colo, illi soli sérvio;
* Et ídeo non tímeo torménta tua.
℣. Mea nox obscúrum non habet, sed ómnia in luce claréscunt.
℟. Et ídeo non tímeo torménta tua.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Et ídeo non tímeo torménta tua.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Spirit's fire Divine in our hearts enkindled shine. Amen.

Reading 6
But that the Saviour hath a fire of His own we read in the Gospel, where the Lord saith lam come to send fire on the earth, and what will I but that it be kindled? Luke xii. 49. It was this fire which had been enkindled in the two disciples when they said Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures? Luke xxiv. 32. It was because this fire had been enkindled within him that the blessed Lawrence felt not the burning of the flames, and through eager yearning for the sight of Christ perceived not the cruelty of his persecutor.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The blessed Lawrence cried and said: My God do I worship, and Him only do I serve
* And therefore I am not afraid of thy tortures.
℣. The darkness is no darkness to me, but the night is all as clear as the morning, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
℟. And therefore I am not afraid of thy tortures.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And therefore I am not afraid of thy tortures.

105:7 Patres nostri in Ægýpto non intellexérunt mirabília tua: * non fuérunt mémores multitúdinis misericórdiæ tuæ.
105:7 Et irritavérunt ascendéntes in mare, * Mare Rubrum.
105:8 Et salvávit eos propter nomen suum: * ut notam fáceret poténtiam suam.
105:9 Et incrépuit Mare Rubrum, et exsiccátum est, * et dedúxit eos in abýssis sicut in desérto.
105:10 Et salvávit eos de manu odiéntium: * et redémit eos de manu inimíci.
105:11 Et opéruit aqua tribulántes eos: * unus ex eis non remánsit.
105:12 Et credidérunt verbis ejus: * et laudavérunt laudem ejus.
105:13 Cito fecérunt, oblíti sunt óperum ejus: * et non sustinuérunt consílium ejus.
105:14 Et concupiérunt concupiscéntiam in desérto: * et tentavérunt Deum in inaquóso.
105:15 Et dedit eis petitiónem ipsórum: * et misit saturitátem in ánimas eórum.
105:16 Et irritavérunt Móysen in castris: * Aaron, sanctum Dómini.
105:17 Apérta est terra, et deglutívit Dathan: * et opéruit super congregatiónem Abíron.
105:18 Et exársit ignis in synagóga eórum * flamma combússit peccatóres.
105:19 Et fecérunt vítulum in Horeb * et adoravérunt scúlptile.
105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis fænum.
105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:23 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus ejus, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu ejus:
105:24 Ut avérteret iram ejus ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:25 Non credidérunt verbo ejus, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:26 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:
105:27 Et ut deíceret semen eórum in natiónibus: * et dispérgeret eos in regiónibus.
105:28 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.

105:32 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum ejus.
105:33 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:35 Et commísti sunt inter gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:37 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et fílias suas dæmóniis.
105:38 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:39 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:40 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.

Psalm 105 [9]
105:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
105:2 Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? * who shall set forth all his praises?
105:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, * and do justice at all times.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: * visit us with thy salvation.
105:5 That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: * that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
105:6 We have sinned with our fathers: * we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
105:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: * they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies:
105:7 And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, * even the Red Sea.
105:8 And he saved them for his own name’s sake: * that he might make his power known.
105:9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
105:10 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
105:11 And the water covered them that afflicted them: * there was not one of them left.
105:12 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises.
105:13 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels.
105:14 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water.
105:15 And he gave them their request: * and sent fulness into their souls.
105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, * Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: * and covered the congregation of Abiron.
105:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation: * the flame burned the wicked.
105:19 They made also a calf in Horeb: * and they adored the graven thing.
105:20 And they changed their glory * into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
105:21 They forgot God, who saved them, * who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
105:23 And he said that he would destroy them: * had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach:
105:24 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land.
105:25 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
105:26 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert;
105:27 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries.
105:28 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
105:29 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and destruction was multiplied among them.
105:30 Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: * and the slaughter ceased.
105:31 And it was reputed to him unto justice, * to generation and generation for evermore.
105:32 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit.
105:33 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
105:35 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them.
105:37 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils.
105:38 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.
105:39 And the land was polluted with blood, and was defiled with their works: * and they went aside after their own inventions.
105:40 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance.
105:41 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: * and they that hated them had dominion over them.
105:42 And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: * many times did he deliver them.
105:43 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities.
105:44 And he saw when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer.
105:45 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
105:46 And he gave them unto mercies, * in the sight of all those that had made them captives.
105:47 Save us, O Lord, our God: * and gather us from among nations:
105:47 That we may give thanks to thy holy name, * and may glory in thy praise.
105:48 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: * and let all the people say: 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.

106:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:2 Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: * and gathered out of the countries.
106:3 From the rising and the setting of the sun, * from the north and from the sea.
106:4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: * they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
106:5 They were hungry and thirsty: * their soul fainted in them.
106:6 And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:7 And he led them into the right way: * that they might go to a city of habitation.
106:8 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:9 For he hath satisfied the empty soul, * and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
106:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * bound in want and in iron.
106:11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: * and provoked the counsel of the most High:
106:12 And their heart was humbled with labours: * they were weakened, and there was none to help them.
106:13 Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:14 And he brought them out of darkness, * and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
106:15 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:16 Because he hath broken gates of brass, * and burst the iron bars.
106:17 He took them out of the way of their iniquity: * for they were brought low for their injustices.
106:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: * and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
106:19 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:20 He sent his word, and healed them: * and delivered them from their destructions.
106:21 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men
106:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: * and declare his works with joy.
106:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, * doing business in the great waters:
106:24 These have seen the works of the Lord, * and his wonders in the deep.
106:25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: * and the waves thereof were lifted up.
106:26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: * their soul pined away with evils.
106:27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; * and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
106:28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he brought them out of their distresses.
106:29 And he turned the storm into a breeze: * and its waves were still.
106:30 And they rejoiced because they were still: * and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
106:31 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:32 And let them exalt him in the church of the people: * and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
106:33 He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: * and the sources of water into dry ground:
106:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, * for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
106:35 He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, * and a dry land into water springs.
106:36 And hath placed there the hungry; * and they made a city for their habitation.
106:37 And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: * and they yielded fruit of birth.
106:38 And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: * and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
106:39 Then they were brought to be few: * and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
106:40 Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: *and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
106:41 And he helped the poor out of poverty: * and made him families like a flock of sheep.
106:42 The just shall see, and shall rejoice, * and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
106:43 Who is wise, and will keep these things: * and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
℣. 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. Visit us with Thy salvation, O Lord.

107:10 Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: * the aliens are become my friends.

107:12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? * and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

Psalm 108 [12]
108:2 God, be not thou silent in my praise: * for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
108:3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; * and have fought against me without cause.
108:4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer.
108:5 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love.
108:6 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand.
108:7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin.
108:8 May his days be few: * and his bishopric let another take.
108:9 May his children be fatherless, * and his wife a widow.
108:10 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; * and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
108:11 May the usurer search all his substance: * and let strangers plunder his labours.
108:12 May there be none to help him: * nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
108:13 May his posterity be cut off; * in one generation may his name be blotted out.
108:14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: * and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
108:15 May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: * because he remembered not to shew mercy,
108:17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; * and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
108:18 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: * and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him.
108:18 And he put on cursing, like a garment: * and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
108:19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; * and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
108:20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; * and who speak evils against my soul.
108:21 But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: * because thy mercy is sweet.
108:22 Do thou deliver me, for I am poor and needy, * and my heart is troubled within me.
108:23 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: * and I am shaken off as locusts.
108:24 My knees are weakened through fasting: * and my flesh is changed for oil.
108:25 And I am become a reproach to them: * they saw me and they shaked their heads.
108:26 Help me, O Lord my God; * save me according to thy mercy.
108:27 And let them know that this is thy hand: * and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
108:28 They will curse and thou wilt bless: * let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
108:29 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: * and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.
108:30 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: * and in the midst of many I will praise him.
108:31 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, * to save my soul from persecutors.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit; ipsum solum manet. Et réliqua.

De Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Ex Tract. 51. in Joann., post supra.
Cum ergo causæ articulus venerit, ut hæc conditio proponatur, aut faciendum esse contra Dei præceptum, aut ex hac vita emigrandum; quorum duorum homo si cogatur alterum eligere, comminante mortem persecutore, ibi eligat Deo dilecto emori, quam offenso vivere. Ibi oderit in hoc mundo animam suam, ut in vitam ætérnam custodiat eam. Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur. Quid est, Me sequatur, nisi, Me imitetur? Christus enim pro nobis passus est, ait Apostolus Petrus, relinquens nobis exemplum, ut sequamur vestigia ejus.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 12:25-27
At that time Jesus said unto His disciples Amen, Amen I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. And so on.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
51st Tract on John.
When matters are come to this pass that a simple choice must be made, either to break the law of God, or to bid farewell to this life; when a man must needs choose one or the other alternative, and the persecutor is threatening him with death, then let him choose rather to honour God and die, than to insult Him and live. This choice will be to hate his life in this world and to keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve Me, let him follow Me. And what is it to follow Christ but to imitate Him? Christ, saith the Apostle Peter, suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow His steps. I. ii. 21.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Upon the bars I denied thee not, O God.
* And when they put me to the fire, I acknowledged thee to be the Lord, O Jesus Christ.
℣. Lord, Thou hast proved mine heart and visited it by night.
℟. And when they put me to the fire, I acknowledged thee to be the Lord, O Jesus Christ.

Ecce quod dictum est: Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur. Quo fructu? qua mercede? quo præmio? Et ubi sum, inquit, ego, illic et minister meus erit. Gratis ametur, ut operis, quo ministratur illi, pretium sit esse cum illo. Ubi enim bene erit sine illo, aut quando esse male poterit cum illo? Audi evidentius: Si quis mihi, ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus. Quo honore, nisi ut sit cum Filio ejus? Quod enim superius ait: Ubi ego sum, illic et minister meus erit hoc intelligitur exposuisse, cum dicit: Honorificabit eum Pater meus. Nam quem majorem honorem accipere poterit adoptatus, quam ut sit ubi est unicus, non æqualis factus divinitati, sed consociatus æternitati?

Behold what is said If any man serve Me, let him follow Me. Follow Him, and with what result? at what wage? for what reward? And, saith the Lord, where I am, there shall also My servant be. He must be loved for Himself alone, if the wage of working in His service be to be with Him. Where would it be well where He was not? Or where could it be ill where He was? Hear even more clearly If any man serve Me, him will My Father honour. With what honour will He honour him, but to put him to be with His Own Son? That which is said first Where I am there shall also My servant be is explained by the next words Him will My Father honour. What higher honour can an adopted son receive, than to be where the Only-Begotten Son is, not in equality of Divine nature, but linked in eternal fellowship?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Commemoratio Ss. Mártyrum Tiburtii et Susannæ
Tiburtius, Chromátii præfecti Urbis fílius, sancti Sebastiáni ópera Christianus, cum ob eam causam ad Fabianum judicem adductus esset múltaque apud illum de Christi fide prædicáret, excandéscens judex paviméntum candéntibus carbónibus sterni jubet. Mox, Tiburti, inquit, vel diis nostris sacrífices oportet, vel per istos carbónes nudis pédibus tibi incedéndum est. At ille, crucis signo se muniens fidentérque ámbulans in pruna, Disce, inquit, ex hoc solum esse Deum, quem Christiáni colunt; prunæ enim mihi flores vidéntur. Quod cum magicis artibus tribuerétur, extra Urbem ductus Tiburtius, ac via Lavicana tertio ab Urbe lápide gládio percússus, ibi a Christiánis sepelítur. Quo die Susanna virgo nobilíssima, quod Galerii Maximiáni, fílii Diocletiáni imperatóris, conjúgium recusaret, ut quæ virginitátem Deo vóverat; post multa tormentórum genera, quibus varie tentátum est sanctum Vírginis propositum, domi suæ, jussu imperatóris, gládio percússa, ad duplex virginitátis et martyrii præmium migrávit in cælum.

Commemoratio for the Holy Martyrs Tiburtius and Susanna.
Tibutrius was son to Chromatius, Praefect of the city of Rome, and was converted to Christianity by holy Sebastian. On this account he was brought before Fabian the judge, and spake boldly in his presence many things concerning belief in Christ. Then Fabian broke out in anger and caused the pavement to be spread with live coals. Now, Tiburtius, said he, thou must either sacrifice to our gods, or walk barefoot on these coals. Tiburtius armed himself with the sign of the Cross and walked boldly on the coals. Learn from this, said he, that there is no God but He whom the Christians worship; for the coals are to me like flowers. For this in the year 286 he was credited with art magic, led forth without the city and smitten with the sword at the third milestone on the Lavican Road, where he was buried by the Christians. On the same day, about the year 295, the noble maiden Susanna, having refused the offer of marriage of Galerius Maximianus, son to the Emperor Diocletian, because she had made a vow of her virginity to God, after diverse torments wherewith her holy resolution was tried, was smitten with the sword, in her own house, by order of the Emperor, and passed to heaven to receive the double reward of virginity and martyrdom.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.

Psalmus 50 [1]
50:3 Miserére mei, Deus, * secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam.
50:3 Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam.
50:4 Ámplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.
50:5 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
50:7 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.
50:8 Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
50:9 Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
50:10 Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.
50:11 Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
50:12 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
50:13 Ne proícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
50:14 Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me.
50:15 Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur.
50:16 Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea justítiam tuam.
50:17 Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
50:18 Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium, dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis.
50:19 Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.
50:20 Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Jerúsalem.
50:21 Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium justítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalm 50 [1]
50:3 Have mercy on me, O God, * according to thy great mercy.
50:3 And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies * blot out my iniquity.
50:4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.
50:5 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.
50:6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
50:7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.
50:8 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
50:9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
50:10 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
50:11 Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.
50:12 Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
50:13 Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me.
50:14 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
50:15 I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
50:16 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
50:17 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
50:18 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
50:19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
50:20 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
50:21 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 91 [2]
91:2 Bonum est confitéri Dómino: * et psállere nómini tuo, Altíssime.
91:3 Ad annuntiándum mane misericórdiam tuam: * et veritátem tuam per noctem.
91:4 In decachórdo, psaltério: * cum cántico, in cíthara.
91:5 Quia delectásti me, Dómine, in factúra tua: * et in opéribus mánuum tuárum exsultábo.
91:6 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * nimis profúndæ factæ sunt cogitatiónes tuæ.
91:7 Vir insípiens non cognóscet: * et stultus non intélleget hæc.
91:8 Cum exórti fúerint peccatóres sicut fænum: * et apparúerint omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem:
91:9 Ut intéreant in sǽculum sǽculi: * tu autem Altíssimus in ætérnum, Dómine.
91:10 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui, Dómine, quóniam ecce inimíci tui períbunt: * et dispergéntur omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem.
91:11 Et exaltábitur sicut unicórnis cornu meum: * et senéctus mea in misericórdia úberi.
91:12 Et despéxit óculus meus inimícos meos: * et in insurgéntibus in me malignántibus áudiet auris mea.
91:13 Justus, ut palma florébit: * sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur.
91:14 Plantáti in domo Dómini, * in átriis domus Dei nostri florébunt.
91:15 Adhuc multiplicabúntur in senécta úberi: * et bene patiéntes erunt, ut annúntient:
91:16 Quóniam rectus Dóminus, Deus noster: * et non est iníquitas in eo.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Ant. Lawrence wrought a good work.
Psalm 91 [2]
91:2 It is good to give praise to the Lord: * and to sing to thy name, O most High.
91:3 To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, * and thy truth in the night:
91:4 Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: * with a canticle upon the harp.
91:5 For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: * and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
91:6 O Lord, how great are thy works! * thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
91:7 The senseless man shall not know: * nor will the fool understand these things.
91:8 When the wicked shall spring up as grass: * and all the workers of iniquity shall appear:
91:9 That they may perish for ever and ever: * but thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
91:10 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: * and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
91:11 But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: * and my old age in plentiful mercy.
91:12 My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: * and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
91:13 The just shall flourish like the palm tree: * he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
91:14 They that are planted in the house of the Lord * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
91:15 They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: * and shall be well treated, that they may shew,
91:16 That the Lord our God is righteous, * and there is no iniquity in him.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 62 [3]
62:2 Deus, Deus meus, * ad te de luce vígilo.
62:2 Sitívit in te ánima mea, * quam multiplíciter tibi caro mea.
62:3 In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: * sic in sancto appárui tibi, ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam.
62:4 Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas: * lábia mea laudábunt te.
62:5 Sic benedícam te in vita mea: * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
62:6 Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea: * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
62:7 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutínis meditábor in te: * quia fuísti adjútor meus.
62:8 Et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo, adhǽsit ánima mea post te: * me suscépit déxtera tua.
62:10 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsiérunt ánimam meam, introíbunt in inferióra terræ: * tradéntur in manus gládii, partes vúlpium erunt.
62:12 Rex vero lætábitur in Deo, laudabúntur omnes qui jurant in eo: * quia obstrúctum est os loquéntium iníqua.
Ant. O my God, my soul cleaveth.
Psalm 62 [3]
62:2 O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at break of day.
62:2 For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
62:3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: * so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
62:4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
62:5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
62:6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
62:7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.
62:8 And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: * thy right hand hath received me.
62:10 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
62:12 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: * because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
Psalmus 66 [4]

66:4 Confiteántur tibi pópuli, Deus: * confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes.
66:5 Læténtur et exsúltent gentes: * quóniam júdicas pópulos in æquitáte, et gentes in terra dírigis.
66:6 Confiteántur tibi pópuli, Deus, confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes: * terra dedit fructum suum.

Deut 32:1-65
32:1 Audíte, cæli, quæ loquor: * áudiat terra verba oris mei.
32:2 Concréscat ut plúvia doctrína mea, * fluat ut ros elóquium meum.
32:3 Quasi imber super herbam, et quasi stillæ super grámina. * Quia nomen Dómini invocábo.
32:4 Date magnificéntiam Deo nostro. * Dei perfécta sunt ópera, et omnes viæ ejus judícia:
32:5 Deus fidélis, et absque ulla iniquitáte, justus et rectus. * Peccavérunt ei, et non fílii ejus in sórdibus:
32:6 Generátio prava atque pervérsa. * Hǽccine reddis Dómino, pópule stulte et insípiens?
32:7 Numquid non ipse est pater tuus, * qui possédit te, et fecit, et creávit te?
32:8 Meménto diérum antiquórum, * cógita generatiónes síngulas:
32:9 Intérroga patrem tuum, et annuntiábit tibi: * majóres tuos, et dicent tibi.
32:10 Quando dividébat Altíssimus gentes: * quando separábat fílios Adam.
32:11 Constítuit términos populórum * juxta númerum filiórum Israël.
32:12 Pars autem Dómini, pópulus ejus: * Jacob funículus hereditátis ejus.
32:13 Invénit eum in terra desérta, * in loco horróris et vastæ solitúdinis:
32:14 Circumdúxit eum, et dócuit: * et custodívit quasi pupíllam óculi sui.
32:15 Sicut áquila próvocans ad volándum pullos suos, * et super eos vólitans,
32:16 Expándit alas suas, et assúmpsit eum, * atque portávit in húmeris suis.
32:17 Dóminus solus dux ejus fuit: * et non erat cum eo deus aliénus.
32:18 Constítuit eum super excélsam terram: * ut coméderet fructus agrórum,
32:19 Ut súgeret mel de petra, * oleúmque de saxo duríssimo.
32:20 Butýrum de arménto, et lac de óvibus * cum ádipe agnórum, et aríetum filiórum Basan:
32:21 Et hircos cum medúlla trítici, * et sánguinem uvæ bíberet meracíssimum.
32:22 Incrassátus est diléctus, et recalcitrávit: * incrassátus, impinguátus, dilatátus,
32:23 Derelíquit Deum, factórem suum, * et recéssit a Deo, salutári suo.
32:24 Provocavérunt eum in diis aliénis, * et in abominatiónibus ad iracúndiam concitavérunt.
32:25 Immolavérunt dæmóniis, et non Deo, * diis, quos ignorábant:
32:26 Novi recentésque venérunt, * quos non coluérunt patres eórum.
32:27 Deum qui te génuit dereliquísti, * et oblítus es Dómini, creatóris tui.
32:28 Vidit Dóminus, et ad iracúndiam concitátus est: * quia provocavérunt eum fílii sui et fíliæ.
32:29 Et ait: Abscóndam fáciem meam ab eis, * et considerábo novíssima eórum:
32:30 Generátio enim pervérsa est, * et infidéles fílii.
32:31 Ipsi me provocavérunt in eo, qui non erat Deus, * et irritavérunt in vanitátibus suis:
32:32 Et ego provocábo eos in eo, qui non est pópulus, * et in gente stulta irritábo illos.
32:33 Ignis succénsus est in furóre meo, * et ardébit usque ad inférni novíssima:
32:34 Devorabítque terram cum gérmine suo, * et móntium fundaménta combúret.
32:35 Congregábo super eos mala, * et sagíttas meas complébo in eis.
32:36 Consuméntur fame, * et devorábunt eos aves morsu amaríssimo:
32:37 Dentes bestiárum immíttam in eos, * cum furóre trahéntium super terram, atque serpéntium.
32:38 Foris vastábit eos gládius, et intus pavor, * júvenem simul ac vírginem, lactántem cum hómine sene.
32:39 Dixi: Ubinam sunt? * cessáre fáciam ex homínibus memóriam eórum.
32:40 Sed propter iram inimicórum dístuli: * ne forte superbírent hostes eórum,
32:41 Et dícerent: Manus nostra excélsa, et non Dóminus, * fecit hæc ómnia.
32:42 Gens absque consílio est, et sine prudéntia. * Utinam sáperent, et intellégerent, ac novíssima providérent.
32:43 Quómodo persequátur unus mille, * et duo fugent decem míllia?
32:44 Nonne ídeo, quia Deus suus véndidit eos, * et Dóminus conclúsit illos?
32:45 Non enim est Deus noster ut dii eórum: * et inimíci nostri sunt júdices.
32:46 De vínea Sodomórum vínea eórum, * et de suburbánis Gomórrhæ:
32:47 Uva eórum uva fellis, * et botri amaríssimi.
32:48 Fel dracónum vinum eórum, * et venénum áspidum insanábile.
32:49 Nonne hæc cóndita sunt apud me, * et signáta in thesáuris meis?
32:50 Mea est últio, et ego retríbuam in témpore, * ut labátur pes eórum:
32:51 Juxta est dies perditiónis, * et adésse festínant témpora.
32:52 Judicábit Dóminus pópulum suum, * et in servis suis miserébitur:
32:53 Vidébit quod infirmáta sit manus, * et clausi quoque defecérunt, residuíque consúmpti sunt.
32:54 Et dicet: Ubi sunt dii eórum, * in quibus habébant fidúciam?
32:55 De quorum víctimis comedébant ádipes, * et bibébant vinum libáminum:
32:56 Surgant, et opituléntur vobis, * et in necessitáte vos prótegant.
32:57 Vidéte quod ego sim solus, * et non sit álius Deus præter me:
32:58 Ego occídam, et ego vívere fáciam: percútiam, et ego sanábo, * et non est qui de manu mea possit erúere.
32:59 Levábo ad cælum manum meam, et dicam: * Vivo ego in ætérnum.
32:60 Si acúero ut fulgur gládium meum, * et arripúerit judícium manus mea:
32:61 Reddam ultiónem hóstibus meis, * et his qui odérunt me retríbuam.
32:62 Inebriábo sagíttas meas sánguine, * et gládius meus devorábit carnes,
32:63 De cruóre occisórum, * et de captivitáte, nudáti inimicórum cápitis.
32:64 Laudáte, gentes, pópulum ejus, * quia sánguinem servórum suórum ulciscétur:
32:65 Et vindíctam retríbuet in hostes eórum, * et propítius erit terræ pópuli sui.

Canticle of Moses [5]
Deut 32:1-65
32:1 Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, * let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth.
32:2 Let my doctrine gather as the rain, * let my speech distill as the dew,
32:3 As a shower upon the herb, and as drops upon the grass. * Because I will invoke the name of the Lord:
32:4 Give ye magnificence to our God. * The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments:
32:5 God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right. * They have sinned against him, and are none of his children in their filth:
32:6 They are a wicked and perverse generation. * Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people?
32:7 Is not he thy father, * that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee?
32:8 Remember the days of old, * think upon every generation:
32:9 Ask thy father, and he will declare to thee: * thy elders and they will tell thee.
32:10 When the Most High divided the nations: * when he separated the sons of Adam,
32:11 He appointed the bounds of people * according to the number of the children of Israel.
32:12 But the Lord’s portion is his people: * Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
32:13 He found him in a desert land, * in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness:
32:14 He led him about, and taught him: * and he kept him as the apple of his eye.
32:15 As the eagle enticing her young to fly, * and hovering over them,
32:16 He spread his wings, and hath taken him * and carried him on his shoulders.
32:17 The Lord alone was his leader: * and there was no strange god with him.
32:18 He set him upon high land: * that he might eat the fruits of the fields,
32:19 That he might suck honey out of the rock, * and oil out of the hardest stone,
32:20 Butter of the herd, and milk of the sheep * with the fat of lambs, and of the rams of the breed of Basan:
32:21 And goats with the marrow of wheat, * and might drink the purest blood of the grape.
32:22 The beloved grew fat, and kicked: * he grew fat, and thick and gross,
32:23 He forsook God who made him, * and departed from God his saviour.
32:24 They provoked him by strange gods, * and stirred him up to anger, with their abominations.
32:25 They sacrificed to devils and not to God: * to gods whom they knew not:
32:26 That were newly come up, * whom their fathers worshipped not.
32:27 Thou hast forsaken the God that beget * and hast forgotten the Lord that created thee.
32:28 The Lord saw, and was moved to wrath: * because his own sons and daughters provoked him.
32:29 And he said: I will hide my face from them, * and will consider what their last end shall be:
32:30 For it is a perverse generation, * and unfaithful children.
32:31 They have provoked me with that which was no god, * and have angered me with their vanities:
32:32 And I will provoke them with that which is no people, * and will vex them with a foolish nation.
32:33 A fire is kindled in my wrath, * and shall burn even to the lowest hell:
32:34 And shall devour the earth with her increase, * and shall burn the foundations of the mountains.
32:35 I will heap evils upon them, * and will spend my arrows among them.
32:36 They shall be consumed with famine, * and birds shall devour them with a most bitter bite:
32:37 I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, * with the fury of creatures that trail upon the ground, and of serpents.
32:38 Without, the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, * both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years.
32:39 I said: Where are they? * I will make the memory of them to cease from among men.
32:40 But for the wrath of the enemies * I have deferred it: lest perhaps their enemies might be proud,
32:41 And should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, * hath done all these things.
32:42 They are a nation without counsel, and without wisdom * O that they would be wise and would understand, and would provide for their last end.
32:43 How should one pursue after a thousand, * and two chase ten thousand?
32:44 Was it not, because their God had sold them, * and the Lord had shut them up?
32:45 For our God is not as their gods: * our enemies themselves are judges.
32:46 Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom, * and of the suburbs of Gomorrha:
32:47 Their grapes are grapes of gall, * and their clusters most bitter.
32:48 Their wine is the gall of dragons, * and the venom of asps, which is incurable.
32:49 Are not these things stored up with me, * and sealed up in my treasures?
32:50 Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, * that their foot may slide:
32:51 The day of destruction is at hand, * and the time makes haste to come.
32:52 The Lord will judge his people, * and will have mercy on his servants:
32:53 He shall see that their hand is weakened, * and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed.
32:54 And he shall say: Where are their gods, * in whom they trusted?
32:55 Of whose victims they ate the fat, * and drank the wine of their drink offerings:
32:56 Let them arise and help you, * and protect you in your distress.
32:57 See ye that I alone am, * and there is no other God besides me:
32:58 I will kill and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal, * and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
32:59 I will lift up my hand to heaven, * and I will say: I live for ever.
32:60 If I shall whet my sword as the lightning, * and my hand take hold on judgment:
32:61 I will render vengeance to my enemies, * and repay them that hate me.
32:62 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, * and my sword shall devour flesh,
32:63 Of the blood of the slain * and of the captivity, of the bare head of the enemies.
32:64 Praise his people, ye nations, * for he will revenge the blood of his servants:
32:65 And will render vengeance to their enemies, * and he will be merciful to the land of his people.

Martyr of God, whose strength was steeled
To follow close God's only Son,
Well didst thou brave thy battlefield,
And well thy heavenly bliss was won!

Now join thy prayers with ours, who pray
That God may pardon us and bless;
For prayer keeps evil's plague away,
And draws from life its weariness.

Long, long ago, were loosed the chains
That held thy body once in thrall;
For us how many a bond remains!
O love of God release us all.

All praise to God the Father be,
All praise to thee, Eternal Son;
All praise, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
While never-ending ages run.

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.

Martyrologium (anticip.)
August 12th 2018, the 1st day of the Moon, were born into the better life:

At Assisi, in Umbria, [in the year 1253], the holy Virgin Clare, the first of the women of the Order of Friars Minors [who are called Poor Clares.] Her life and miracles were famous, and Pope Alexander IV enrolled her name among those of the holy virgins.
At Catania, in Sicily, in the persecution under the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, the holy Deacon Euplius. He was long put to the torture for confessing the Lord, and at length beheaded, and so received the crown of martyrdom.
At Augsburg, [in the fourth century,] the holy Hilaria, the mother of the blessed martyr Afra. She was watching at her grave when she was taken by persecutors, and for Christ's faith's sake committed to the fire, along with her handmaidens Digna, Euprepia, and Eunomia.
In the same city, upon the same day, [in the fourth century,] there suffered also Quiriacus, Largis, Crescentian, Nimmia, Juliana, and twenty others.
In Syria, the holy martyrs Macarius and Julian.
At Nicomedia, under the Emperor Diocletian, the holy martyrs Count Anicete, his brother Photinus, and many others.
At Civita Castellana, in Tuscany, [under Galerius Maximianus,] the holy martyr Gracilian and the Virgin Felicissima. Because they confessed the faith, their mouths were first bruised with stones, and then they were smitten with the sword, and so received that palm of martyrdom which they had desired.
On the same day, [about the year 730,] the holy martyrs Porcarius, Abbot of the monastery of Lerins, and five hundred monks, crowned with martyrdom, slain by the barbarians for the Catholic faith's sake.
At Milan, the holy Confessor Eusebius, Bishop [of that see.]
At Brescia, holy Herculanus, Bishop [of that see.]
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Hymnus
Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,
Immótus in te pérmanens,
Lucis diúrnæ témpora
Succéssibus detérminans:

Largíre lumen véspere,
Quo vita nusquam décidat,
Sed prǽmium mortis sacræ
Perénnis instet glória.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Hymn
O strength and stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:

Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.

Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
Amen.

Jesu, the virgins' crown, do thou
Accept us as in prayer we bow;
Born of that Virgin, whom alone
The mother and the maid we own.

Amongst the lilies thou dost feed,
By virgin choirs accompanied;
With glory decked, the spotless brides
Whose bridal gifts thy love provides.

They, wheresoe'er thy footsteps bend,
With hymns and praises still attend:
In blessèd troops they follow thee,
With dance, and song, and melody.

We pray thee therefore to bestow
Upon our senses here below
Thy grace, that so we may endure
From taint of all corruption pure.

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.

Hail holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping

And after this our exile show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
