Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
Giver of life, eternal Lord!
thy own redeemed defend;
Mother of grace! thy children save,
And help them to the end.
Ye thousand thousand angel hosts!
Assist us in our need;
Ye patriarchs! with the prophet choir!
For our forgiveness plead.
Forerunner blest! and thou who still
Dost heaven's dread keys retain!
Ye glorious Apostles all!
Unloose our guilty chain.
Army of martyrs! holy priests
In beautiful array!
Ye happy troops of virgins chaste!
Wash all our stains away.
All ye who high above the stars
In heavenly glory reign!
May we through your prevailing prayers
Unto your joys attain.
Praise, honour, to the Father be,
Praise to his only Son;
Praise, Holy Paraclete, to thee,
While endless ages run.
Amen.

30:3 Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * accélera ut éruas me.
30:3 Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in domum refúgii: * ut salvum me fácias.

Nocturn II.
Ant. O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth.
Psalm 30 [7]
30:2 In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: * deliver me in thy justice.
30:3 Bow down thy ear to me: * make haste to deliver me.
30:3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, * to save me.
30:4 For thou art my strength and my refuge; * and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
30:5 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: * for thou art my protector.
30:6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: * thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
30:7 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, * to no purpose.
30:7 But I have hoped in the Lord: * I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy.
30:8 For thou hast regarded my humility, * thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
30:9 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: * thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
30:10 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: * my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
30:11 For my life is wasted with grief: * and my years in sighs.
30:11 My strength is weakened through poverty * and my bones are disturbed.
30:12 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; * and a fear to my acquaintance.
30:12 They that saw me without fled from me. * I am forgotten as one dead from the heart.
30:13 I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. * For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about.
30:14 While they assembled together against me, * they consulted to take away my life.
30:15 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: * I said: Thou art my God. My lots are in thy hands.
30:16 Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; * and from them that persecute me
30:17 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy. * Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee.
30:18 Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. * Let deceitful lips be made dumb.
30:19 Which speak iniquity against the just, * with pride and abuse.
30:20 How great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, * which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee!
30:20 Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, * in the sight of the sons of men.
30:21 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, * from the disturbance of men.
30:21 Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle * from the contradiction of tongues.
30:22 Blessed be the Lord, * for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
30:23 But I said in the excess of my mind: * I am cast away from before thy eyes.
30:23 Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, * when I cried to thee.
30:24 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: * for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
30:25 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, * all ye that hope in 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.

31:5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, * and my injustice I have not concealed.
31:5 I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
31:6 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee * in a seasonable time.
31:6 And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come nigh unto him.
31:7 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
31:8 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: * I will fix my eyes upon thee.

Life of Barlaam and Josophat
Blessed, yea, thrice blessed, are they that have them loved God, and, for his love's sake, have counted their suffering as nothing worth. For they wept and here mourned, day and night, that they might gain glory and everlasting comfort: they humbled themselves after willingly, that there they might be exalted: they afflicted the flesh with hunger and thirst and vigil, that there they might come to the pleasures and joys of Paradise.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Spíritus Sancti tabernáculum per cordis puritátem exstitérunt, quemádmodum scriptum est: Inhabitábo in ipsis et inambulábo. Seípsis mundo crucifixérunt, ut ad Christi déxteram starent: lumbos suos in veritáte succinxérunt, atque in promptu semper lámpades habuérunt, immortális Sponsi advéntum expectántes. Nam, cum mentis óculis prǽditi essent, hórrendum illum diem semper prospiciébant, atque tum futurórum bonórum, tum futurórum bonórum, tum futúri supplícii contemplatiónem ita in corde defíxam gerébant, ut ab ipsa nunquam divelleréntur.

Reading 6
By their purity of heart they became a tabernacle of the Holy Ghost, as it is written, "I will dwell in them and walk in them." They crucified themselves unto the world, that they might stand at the right hand of the Crucified: they girt their loins with truth, and alway had their lamps ready, looking for the coming of the immortal bridegroom. The eye of their mind being enlightened, they continually looked forward to that awful hour, and kept the contemplation of future happiness and everlasting punishment immovable from their hearts, and pained themselves to labour, that they might not lose eternal glory. They became passionless as the Angels, and now they weave the dance in their fellowship, whose lives also they imitated.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. These men are saints, whom the Lord hath chosen in love unfeigned, and hath given them glory everlasting. These are they

Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Mt 19:27-29
At that time Peter said to Jesus: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have? And so on.
From a homily of St Bernard, abbot
Sermon of St Bernard on St Benedict
Brethren, you have just heard our Lord making a promise to His disciples, saying to them: "You shall sit on seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Behold, the restfulness of being seated and the honor of passing judgment are promised. Now our Lord Himself was unwilling to receive these rewards except by humility and labor. Wherefore He was condemned to a most shameful death, loaded with torments, filled with opprobrium. So has He done, together with all who imitate Him in journeying on the way, in order that the enemy might be confounded. He it is, O wicked creature, He it is who will be seated on the throne of His Majesty, like to the Most High and equal to Him. The angels considered this when, at the fall of the evil one, they did not consent to his apostasy, thereby leaving us an example that as they chose to serve, so should we.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. God shall wipe away all tears from the eyes of His Saints, and there shall be no more sorrow, there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain;
* For the former things are passed away.

Reading 10
Let those who fly labor and seek honor know that they imitate him who sought for himself power and majesty; and if the devil's crime does not terrify them, his punishment should. The saints of God, who indeed wilt be seated in judgment, have given us an example of prudence in avoiding these vices. They, I say, in their own esteem, wretched worms of the earth, will sit in judgment. "Do you not know," says the Apostle, "that we shall judge even the angels?" They indeed who went forth weeping, sowing their seed, will come with joy carrying their sheaves. They who have sown labor and humility reap honor and rest. Because "for their double confusion and shame they wilt receive double in their land." Wherefore also a certain one has said: "Behold my lowliness and sorrow."
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O ye My Saints, who, being in the flesh, didst have striving
* I will render unto you a reward of your labours.
℣. Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom
℟. I will render unto you a reward of your labours.

Non solum autem ipsa vita, sed et promíssio vitæ ætérnæ et expectátio iustórum, lætítia est, et tanta lætítia, ut omne, quod concupíscitur, ei non váleat comparári. Hanc quoque prudéntiam nobis Apóstoli sancti seminavérunt, quando, recedéntibus his, qui sapiéntiam huius mundi sequebántur, quæ stultítia est apud Deum, et prudéntiam carnis, quæ mortem operátur et inimíca est Deo; ipsi Dóminuo adhæsérunt. Mártyres vero maniféstum est fortitúdinem seminásse. Porro Confessóres sectáti sunt iustítiam in omni vita sua. Hoc enim ínterest inter Mártyres et Confessóres, quod inter Petrum simul ómnia relinquéntem, et Abraham substántiam mundi in bonos usus expendéntem: sic enim illi consummáti in brevi explevérunt témpora multa; isti vero longa et multímoda traxére martýria. Vírgines sanctæ planum est, quia temperántiam seminavérunt, quæ sic libídinem calcavérunt.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucérnæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris:
* Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis.
℣. Vigiláte ergo, quia nescítis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit.
℟. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis.

Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. Amen.
Reading 11
Not only that life itself, but also the promises of eternal life and the eager anticipation of it, are a joy for the just, and, a joy so great that anything to be desired cannot be compared with it. At the time when the followers of the wisdom of this world, which is indeed foolishness in God's sight, and of the prudence of the flesh, which worketh death and is inimical to God, withdrew from Christ, the holy apostles, when they clung to our Lord, sowed for us the seed of prudence. Manifestly, the martyrs sowed fortitude; the confessors followed justice throughout their lives. The same comparison exists between the martyrs and confessors as between Peter leaving all things, and Abraham using the wealth of this world for good purposes. For as the martyrs, having become perfect in a short time, filled out for a long time, so did the confessors endure long and varied martyrdoms. Plainly, the virgins who thus trod upon lust sowed temperance.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
* And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.
℣. Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
℟. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.

Hac doctrína nos étiam ínstruit noster cæléstis pater, dux, magíster et légifer Benedíctus, et dírigit gressus nostros in viam pacis. Porro vitæ iustítia omníno róborat et ánimat nos, ut tanto magis accendámur ad agénda quæ dócuit, quanto certi sumus eum non ália docuísse quam fécerit. Sermo quidem vivus et éfficax, exemplum óperis est, plúrimum fáciens suadíbile quod dícitur, dum monstrat factíbile quod suadétur. In hunc ergo modum sánctitas confórtat, pietátis infórmat, iustítia confírmat. Quantæ enim pietátis fuit, quod non solum præséntibus prófuit, sed et pro futúris sollícitus fuit? Pascit vita, pascit doctrína, pascit intercéssione. Per quam incessánter adiúti, fructificáte et vos, caríssimi, quóniam in hoc pósiti estis, ut eátis et fructum afferátis. Imitémur et hunc; quóniam ad hoc venit, ut formam nbis tráderet, et viam demonstráret.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Córpora Sanctórum in pace sepúlta sunt,

Our heavenly father, guide, master, and legislator, Benedict, also instructs us in this doctrine and directs our steps along the way of peace. Moreover, he strengthens and animates us for a life of justice in such a way that we are so much the more impelled to practice what he taught as we are certain that he taught not otherwise than he acted. The example of works is indeed a living and effective sermon, since it makes what is spoken most persuasive, showing that that which is urged is possible. In this regard his sanctity comforts us, his piety instructs us, his justice strengthens us. With what great piety was he not animated who provided not only for his children present, but was also solicitous for those of the future! He nourishes us by his life, his teaching, and by his intercession. Being always thus helped, dearly beloved, become fruitful; since for this were you appointed, "that you should go and bring forth fruit." Let us imitate him, because for this end he came, that he might give us the example and show us the way.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Their bodies are buried in peace,
* And their name liveth unto generation and generation.
℣. Let the people shew forth the wisdom of the saints, and the church declare their praise.
℟. And their name liveth unto generation and generation.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And their name liveth unto generation and generation.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
In illo témpore: Dixit Petrus ad Iesum: Ecce, nos relíquimus ómnia, et secúti sumus te: quid ergo erit nobis? Iesus autem dixit illis: Amen, dico vobis, quod vos, qui secuti estis me, in regeneratióne, cum séderit Fílius hóminis in sede maiestátis suæ, sedébitis et vos super sedes duódecim, iudicántes duódecim tribus Israël. Et omnis, qui relíquerit domum, vel fratres, aut soróres, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut uxórem, aut fílios, aut agros, propter nomen meum, céntuplum accípiet, et vitam ætérnam possidébit.
