Hymn {Votive}
Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and, with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move;
from celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned.
Bright thy gates of pearl are shining;
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who for Christ's dear Name in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever Three, and ever One,
consubstantial, coeternal,
while unending ages run.
Amen.

1 And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord filled the house.
2 Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.
3 Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.

12 And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people:
14 And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.
15 My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place.

From the Sermons of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
252nd for the Season.
Dearly beloved brethren, as often as we keep the Dedication-Feast of some Altar or Church, if we think faithfully and carefully, and live holily and righteously, that which is done in temples made with hands, is done in our soul by a spiritual building. He at the Dedication of the Temple. lied not who said: The temple of God is holy; which temple ye are i Cor. iii. 17, and again: Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, Which is in you, vi. 19.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. If they pray toward this place,
* Forgive the sin of thy people, O God, and teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and manifest forth thy glory in this place.
℣. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock, thou that sittest upon the cherubim.

Et ideo, fratres caríssimi, quia, nullis præcedéntibus méritis, per grátiam Dei merúimus fíeri templum Dei, quantum possumus cum ipsíus adiutório labóremus, ne Dóminus noster in templo suo, hoc est, in nobis ipsis, invéniat quod óculos suæ maiestátis offéndat. Sed habitáculum cordis nostri evacuétur vítiis, et virtútibus repleátur; claudátur diabolo, et aperiátur Christo.

And therefore, dearly beloved brethren, since by the grace of God, without any foregoing deserts of our own, we have been made meet to become the Temple of God, let us work as hard as we can, with His help, that our Lord may not find in His Temple, that is, in us, anything to offend the eyes of His Majesty. Let the Tabernacle of our heart be swept clean of vices and filled with virtues. Let it be locked to the devil, and thrown open to Christ. Yea, let us so work, that we may be able to open the door of the kingdom of heaven with the key of good works.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

For even as evil works are so many bolts and bars to close against us the entrance into life, so beyond doubt are good works the key thereto. And therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let each one look into his own conscience, and when he findeth the wounds of guilt there, let him first strive by prayers, fasting, or alms deeds to purge his conscience, and so let him dare to take the Eucharist.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

For if he acknowledge his iniquity, and withdraw himself from the Altar of God, he will soon attain unto the mercy of the pardon of God, for, as he that exalted himself shall be abased, so shall he that humbleth himself be exalted.

He who, as I have said, acknowledging his iniquity, withdraweth himself through lowliness from the Altar of the Church, till he have mended his life, need have but little fear that he will be excommunicated from the eternal marriage supper in heaven.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 19:1-10
At that time: Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And so on.
Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.
Bk. viii. on Luke.
Zacchaeus was little of stature, that is, he was not raised aloft among men by nobility of birth, and, like the most of the world, he possessed few merits. When he heard that the Lord and Saviour, Who had come unto His Own, and Whom His Own had not received, John i. 11, was coming, he desired to see Him. But the sight of Jesus is not easy; to any on the earth it is impossible. And since Zacchaeus had neither the Prophets, nor yet the Law, as a gracious help to his nature, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, raising his feet above the vanity of the Jews, and straightening the crooked branches of his former life, and therefore he received Jesus to lodge within his house.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. My house shall be called the house of prayer, saith the Lord. Therein, he that asketh, receiveth; he that seeketh, findeth;
* And to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
℣. Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find.

He did well to climb up into a tree, that a good tree might bring forth good fruits, Matth. vii. 17, and that the slip of the wild olive, grafted, contrary to nature, into the good olive, might bring forth the fruits of the law.

Zachǽus ergo in sycómoro, cæcus in via: quorum álterum Dóminus miseratúrus exspéctat, álterum mansiónis suæ claritáte nobílitat; álterum sanatúrus intérrogat, apud álterum se, non invitátus, invítat.

Zacchaeus, then, was in the sycamore tree, and the blind man by the way-side, xviii. 35. For the one, Jesus stood waiting to show mercy, and asked him before He healed him, what he would that He should do for him; being unbidden of the other, He bade Himself to be his Guest, knowing how rich was the reward of receiving Him. Nevertheless, albeit He had heard no words of invitation, yet had He seen how his heart went.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory that has been built
* To the praise and glory of your name O Lord.
℣. Bless this house that I have built.

Verum, ne cæcum illum, tamquam fastidiósi páuperum, cito reliquísse videámur et transísse ad dívitem, exspectémus eum, quia exspectávit et Dóminus; interrogémus eum, quia interrogávit et Christus. Nos interrogémus, quia nescímus: ille, quia nóverat. Nos interrogémus, ut sciámus unde iste curátus sit: ille interrogávit, ut in uno plures discerémus unde Dóminum vidére mereámur. Interrogávit enim, ut crederémus, néminem, nisi confiténtem, posse salvári.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Vidi civitátem sanctam Ierúsalem novam, † descendéntem de cælo a Deo parátam:
* Et audívi vocem de throno dicéntem: * Ecce tabernáculam Dei cum homínibus, et habitábit cum eis.
℣. Et ipsi pópulus eius erunt, † et ipse Deus cum eis erit eórum Deus.
℟. Et audívi vocem de throno dicéntem: Ecce tabernáculam Dei cum homínibus, et habitábit cum eis.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 12
But lest we should seem haughtily to pass by the poor blind man, and to hurry on to the rich one, let us stand waiting for him, as the Lord stood and waited; let us ask of him, as Christ asked of him. Let us ask, because we are ignorant; Christ asked, because He knew. Let us ask, that we may know whence he received his cure; Christ asked, that all of us may know from one example where through we are to earn a sight of the Lord. Christ asked, that we might believe that none, save they that confess Him, can be saved.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
*And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them.
℣. And they shall be his people; and God himself with them shall be their God.
℟. And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Sequéntia +︎ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 19:1-10
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
In illo témpore: Ingréssus Iesus perambulábat Iéricho. Et ecce, vir nómine Zachǽus: et hic princeps erat publicanórum, et ipse dives: et quærébat vidére Iesum, quis esset: et non póterat præ turba, quia statúra pusíllus erat. Et præcúrrens ascéndit in árborem sycómorum, ut vidéret eum; quia inde erat transitúrus. Et cum venísset ad locum, suspíciens Iesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum: Zachǽe, festínans descénde; quia hódie in domo tua opórtet me manére. Et festínans descéndit, et excépit illum gaudens. Et cum vidérent omnes, murmurábant, dicéntes, quod ad hóminem peccatórem divertísset. Stans autem Zachǽus, dixit ad Dóminum: Ecce, dimídium bonórum meórum, Dómine, do paupéribus: et si quid áliquem defraudávi, reddo quádruplum. Ait Iesus ad eum: Quia hódie salus dómui huic facta est: eo quod et ipse fílius sit Abrahæ. Venit enim Fílius hóminis quǽrere et salvum fácere, quod períerat.

Continuation +︎ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 19:1-10
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, Jesus entered and was passing through Jericho. And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus; and he was a leading publican, and he was rich. And he was trying to see Jesus, Who He was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay in your house today. And he made haste and came down, and welcomed Him joyfully. And upon seeing it all began to murmur, saying, He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner. But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, I give one-half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold. Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, since he, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
℟. Amen
Thou art worthy of praise, thou art worthy of hymns, to Thee be glory: to God the Father and the Son with the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.

50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.
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.

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.

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.

17:28 For thou wilt save the humble people; * but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
17:29 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: * O my God, enlighten my darkness.
17:30 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; * and through my God I shall go over a wall.
17:31 As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire-tried: * he is the protector of all that trust in him.
17:32 For who is God but the Lord? * or who is God but our God?

17:38 I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: * and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
17:39 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: * they shall fall under my feet.
17:40 And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; * and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
17:41 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, * and hast destroyed them that hated me.
17:42 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: * but he heard them not.

17:44 Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people; * thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
17:45 A people which I knew not, hath served me: * at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
17:46 The children that are strangers have lied to me, * strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.

Psalm 18 [2]
18:2 The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
18:3 Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
18:4 There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
18:5 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
18:6 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
18:6 Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * his going out is from the end of heaven,
18:7 And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
18:8 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
18:9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
18:10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
18:11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
18:12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
18:13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * and from those of others spare thy servant.
18:14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
18:15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
18:15 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
℣. 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.

September 26th 2021, the 19th day of the Moon, .
Upon the same 26th day of September, were born into the better life:
At Nicomedia, the holy martyrs Cyprian and Justina the Virgin. Justina suffered much for Christ's sake under Diocletian the Emperor and Eutholmius the President, and she converted to Christ the warlock Cyprian, who had sought by his magical arts to put her out of her mind, but along with whom she afterwards suffered martyrdom. Their bodies were cast out to be eaten by beasts, but certain Christian sailors took them by night and brought them to Rome, and they were afterwards taken to the church of the Most Holy Saviour, founded by the Emperor Constantine, where they are buried hard by the Baptistery.
At Rome, the holy martyrs Callistratus and forty-nine others, all soldiers. In the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian, Callistratus was sewn up in a leathern sack and cast into the sea, and when, by the help of God, he escaped unharmed, the others were converted to Christ and suffered martyrdom along with him.
Likewise at Rome, (in the year 310,) the holy Confessor Pope Eusebius.
At Bologna, (in the fifth century,) the holy Confessor Eusebius, Bishop (of that see.)
At Brescia, (in the sixth century,) holy Vigilius, Bishop (of that see.)
At Albano, holy Senator.
In the country of Frascati, (at the beginning of the eleventh century,) the blessed Abbot Nilus, a man of great holiness, Founder of the Monastery of Grotta-Ferrata, (of the Italian Congregation of the Order of St. Basil.)
At Citta di Castello, the holy Priest Amantius, famous for the grace of working miracles.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℣. Precious in the sight of the Lord.

Regula
Ex Régula Sancti Patri Nostri Benedícti. Caput 7: De humilitáte
Clamat nobis Scriptúra divína, fratres, dicens: Omnis qui se exáltat humiliábitur et qui se humíliat exaltábitur. Cum hæc ergo dicit, osténdit nobis omnem exaltatiónem genus esse supérbiæ. Quod se cavére Prophéta índicat dicens: Dómine, non est exaltátum cor meum neque eláti sunt óculi mei, neque ambulávi in magnis neque in mirabílibus super me. Sed quid, si non humíliter sentiébam, si exaltávi ánimam meam, sicut ablactátum super matrem suam, ita retríbues in ánimam suam.
Unde fratres, si summæ humilitátis vólumus culmen adtíngere et ad exaltatiónem illam cæléstem ad quam per præséntis vitæ humilitátem ascénditur, vólumus velóciter perveníre, áctibus nostris ascendéntibus scala illa erigénda est quæ in sómnio Iacob appáruit, per quam ei descendéntes et ascendéntes ángeli monstrabántur. Non áliud sine dúbio descénsus ille et ascénsus a nobis intellígitur nisi exaltatióne descéndere et humilitáte ascéndere. Scala vero ipsa erécta nostra est vita in sǽculo, quæ humiliáto corde a Dómino erigátur ad cælum. Látera enim eius scalæ dícimus nostrum esse corpus et ánimam, in qua látera divérsos gradus humilitátis vel disciplínæ evocátio divína ascendéndo inséruit.

Regula
The Rule of our Holy Father Benedict. Chapter 7: Concerning Humility
Brethren, the sacred Scriptures cry out to us and say: “Every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and every one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
In saying this it reveals that all exalting is a form of pride, against which the prophet shows that he is on his guard by saying: “Lord, my heart is not exalted nor mine eyes uplifted; and I have not concerned myself with great things nor with wonderful things above my reach.” But why? “If I have not been of humble mind, but exalted my soul, then as if a weaned child upon his mother’s breast, such let my soul’s retribution be.” Whence, brethren, if we wish to attain the highest point of humility and if we wish quickly to reach that heavenly exaltation which is attained through humility in this present life, we must by what we do to attain it set up that ladder which appeared in Jacob’s dream and by which angels were shown to be both descending and ascending; for without doubt we are not to understand that descending and ascending but as descending by exaltation and ascending by humility.
For that ladder set up is our life in this world which, when the heart has been humbled by the Lord, is set up to heaven. And we say that the sides of this ladder are our body and soul, into which sides God-given vocation has inserted sundry rungs of humility and discipline by which we may ascend.

Psalm 90 [6]

90:5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: * thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
90:6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: * of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

90:16 I will fill him with length of days; * and I will shew him my salvation.

Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nóstrum cómprime,

Hymn
Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
