Ant. The Lord, the King who is to come * O come, let us adore Him.
Ant. The Lord, the King who is to come * O come, let us adore Him.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. The Lord, the King who is to come * O come, let us adore Him.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us adore Him.
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.
Ant. The Lord, the King who is to come * O come, let us adore Him.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us adore Him.
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.
Ant. The Lord, the King who is to come * O come, let us adore Him.

Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum tempora}
Verbum supérnum, pródiens
A Patre olim éxiens,
Qui natus orbi súbvenis,
Cursu declívi témporis.
Illúmina nunc péctora,
Tuóque amóre cóncrema;
Audíto ut præcónio
Sint pulsa tandem lúbrica.
Iudéxque cum post áderis
Rimári facta péctoris,
Reddens vicem pro ábditis,
Iustísque regnum pro bonis.
Non demum arctémur malis
Pro qualitáte críminis;
Sed cum beátis cómpotes
Simus perénnes cælibes.
Laus, honor, virtus, glória,
Deo Patri, et Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sæculórum sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Celestial Word, to this our earth
Sent down from God's eternal clime,
To save mankind by mortal birth
Into a world of change and time;
Enlighten our hearts; vain hopes destroy;
And in thy love's consuming fire
Fill all the soul with heavenly joy,
And melt the dross of low desire.
So when the Judge of quick and dead
Shall bid his awful summons come,
To whelm the guilty soul with dread,
And call the blessed to their home.
Saved from the whirling, black abyss,
Forevermore to us be given
To share the feast of saintly bliss,
And see the face of God in heaven.
To God the Father and the Son
Our songs with one accord we raise;
And to the Holy Spirit, One
With them, be ever equal praise
Amen.

21:3 Deus meus, clamábo per diem, et non exáudies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi.
21:4 Tu autem in sancto hábitas, * laus Israël.
21:5 In te speravérunt patres nostri: * speravérunt, et liberásti eos.
21:6 Ad te clamavérunt, et salvi facti sunt: * in te speravérunt, et non sunt confúsi.
21:7 Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: * oppróbrium hóminum, et abiéctio plebis.
21:8 Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput.
21:9 Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.
21:10 Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ. In te proiéctus sum ex útero:
21:11 De ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu, * ne discésseris a me:
21:12 Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádiuvet.
21:13 Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi: * tauri pingues obsedérunt me.
21:14 Aperuérunt super me os suum, * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens.

Psalm 21 [2]
21:2 O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
21:3 O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
21:4 But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
21:5 In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
21:6 They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
21:7 But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
21:8 All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
21:9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
21:10 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb.
21:11 From my mother’s womb thou art my God, * depart not from me.
21:12 For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.
21:13 Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
21:14 They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring.
21:15 I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered.
21:15 My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels.
21:16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
21:17 For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me.
21:17 They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
21:18 And they have looked and stared upon me. * They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
21:20 But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence.
21:21 Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog.
21:22 Save me from the lion’s mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
21:23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
21:24 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
21:25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man.
21:25 Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me.
21:26 With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
21:27 The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
21:28 All the ends of the earth * shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord:
21:28 And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight.
21:29 For the kingdom is the Lord’s; * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
21:30 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
21:31 And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him.
21:32 There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: * and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

26:1 Dóminus protéctor vitæ meæ, * a quo trepidábo?
26:2 Dum apprópiant super me nocéntes, * ut edant carnes meas:
26:2 Qui tríbulant me inimíci mei, * ipsi infirmáti sunt, et cecidérunt.
26:3 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
26:3 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prǽlium, * in hoc ego sperábo.

26:4 Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini, * et vísitem templum eius.
26:5 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.
26:6 In petra exaltávit me: * et nunc exaltávit caput meum super inimícos meos.
26:6 Circuívi, et immolávi in tabernáculo eius hóstiam vociferatiónis: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam Dómino.
26:7 Exáudi, Dómine, vocem meam, qua clamávi ad te: * miserére mei, et exáudi me.
26:8 Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisívit te fácies mea: * fáciem tuam, Dómine, requíram.

26:6 I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: * I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
26:7 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: * have mercy on me and hear me.
26:8 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: * thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
26:9 Turn not away thy face from me; * decline not in thy wrath from thy servant.
26:9 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
26:10 For my father and my mother have left me: * but the Lord hath taken me up.
26:11 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, * and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
26:12 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; * for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.

Psalm 29 [10]
29:2 I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: * and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
29:3 O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, * and thou hast healed me.
29:4 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: * thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
29:5 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: * and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
29:6 For wrath is in his indignation; * and life in his good will.
29:6 In the evening weeping shall have place, * and in the morning gladness.
29:7 And in my abundance I said: * I shall never be moved.
29:8 O Lord, in thy favour, * thou gavest strength to my beauty.
29:8 Thou turnedst away thy face from me, * and I became troubled.
29:9 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: * and I will make supplication to my God.
29:10 What profit is there in my blood, * whilst I go down to corruption?
29:10 Shall dust confess to thee, * or declare thy truth?
29:11 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: * the Lord became my helper.
29:12 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: * thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
29:13 To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: * O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.

Psalmus 30 [11]
30:2 In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum: * in iustítia tua líbera me.
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.
30:4 Quóniam fortitúdo mea, et refúgium meum es tu: * et propter nomen tuum dedúces me, et enútries me.
30:5 Edúces me de láqueo hoc, quem abscondérunt mihi: * quóniam tu es protéctor meus.
30:6 In manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum: * redemísti me, Dómine, Deus veritátis.
30:7 Odísti observántes vanitátes, * supervácue.
30:7 Ego autem in Dómino sperávi: * exsultábo, et lætábor in misericórdia tua.
30:8 Quóniam respexísti humilitátem meam, * salvásti de necessitátibus ánimam meam.
30:9 Nec conclusísti me in mánibus inimíci: * statuísti in loco spatióso pedes meos.
30:10 Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor: * conturbátus est in ira óculus meus, ánima mea, et venter meus:
30:11 Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea: * et anni mei in gemítibus.
30:11 Infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea: * et ossa mea conturbáta sunt.
30:12 Super omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium et vicínis meis valde: * et timor notis meis.
30:12 Qui vidébant me, foras fugérunt a me: * oblivióni datus sum, tamquam mórtuus a corde.
30:13 Factus sum tamquam vas pérditum: * quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum commorántium in circúitu.
30:14 In eo dum convenírent simul advérsum me, * accípere ánimam meam consiliáti sunt.
30:15 Ego autem in te sperávi, Dómine: * dixi: Deus meus es tu: in mánibus tuis sortes meæ.
30:16 Éripe me de manu inimicórum meórum, * et a persequéntibus me.
30:17 Illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, salvum me fac in misericórdia tua: * Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te.
30:18 Erubéscant ímpii, et deducántur in inférnum: * muta fiant lábia dolósa.
30:19 Quæ loquúntur advérsus iustum iniquitátem: * in supérbia, et in abusióne.

30:21 Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum.

30:23 Ídeo exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.
30:24 Dilígite Dóminum omnes sancti eius: * quóniam veritátem requíret Dóminus, et retríbuet abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.

Psalm 30 [11]
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.

Psalm 31 [12]
31:1 Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven * and whose sins are covered.
31:2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no guile.
31:3 Because I was silent my bones grew old; * whilst I cried out all the day long.
31:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: * I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
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.
31:9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * who have no understanding.
31:9 With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, * who come not near unto thee.
31:10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
31:11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, * and glory, all ye right of heart.

From the Commentary on the Prophecies of Isaiah made by St. Jerome, Priest (at Bethlehem)
Book iv, c. xi
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. From the beginning of the Book of this Prophet till the xiiith chapter, where commenceth the vision, or burden of Babylon, the whole of the vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, is one continual prophecy of Christ. We must explain it part by part, for if we were to take it all at once, the memory of the reader would be confused. According to the Jewish commentators, the rod and the flower would both relate to the Lord Himself. They take the rod to mean the sceptre of His Royal dominion, and the flower the loveliness of His beauty.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Behold, there cometh the Lord, our defender, the Holy One of Israel,
* Wearing a royal crown upon His head.
℣. And His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
℟. Wearing a royal crown upon His head.

We, however, understand that the rod out of the root of Jesse signifieth the holy Virgin Mary. She was a clean stem that had as yet put forth no shoot; as we have read above Behold, the Virgin shall conceive and bear a son. Isa. vii. 14. And the flower we believe to mean the Lord our Redeemer, Who hath elsewhere compared Himself to a flower; I am a flower of the plain, and a lily of the valleys. Cant. ii. 1.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

The Spirit of the Lord then shall rest upon this flower; this flower which shall come forth from the stem and roots of Jesse by means of the Virgin Mary. And truly the Spirit of the Lord did rest upon our Redeemer. It is written that In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Col. ii. 9. The Spirit was not shed on Him by measure, as it is upon the 4 Isa. Ixvi. 13, 14. Isa. xlvi. 13. Saints. To Him we may apply the words of the Hebrew Gospel used by the Nazarenes; The whole fountain of the Holy Ghost shall be poured forth upon Him The Lord is a spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Cor. iii. 17.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon thy mountains, O Jerusalem thou shalt sing for joy, for the day of the Lord cometh; arise, O Zion, and turn unto the Lord thy God; rejoice and be glad, O Jacob.

49:9 They shall feed in the ways, * and their pastures shall be in every plain.
49:10 They shall not hunger, nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them: * for he that is merciful to them, shall be their shepherd, and at the fountains of waters he shall give them drink.
49:11 And I will make all my mountains a way, * and my paths shall be exalted.
49:12 Behold these shall come from afar, and behold these from the north and from the sea, * and these from the south country.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 11:2-10
In that time, when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him: Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another? And so on.
Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.
6th Homily on the Gospels
The sight of so many signs and so many mighty works should have been a source of wonder, and not a stumbling-block. And yet the unfaithful Jer. xxxi. 5. found these very works a rock of offence, when they afterwards saw Him Who had worked so many miracles dying on the Cross. Hence Paul saith: "We preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block and unto the Gentiles foolishness." 1 Cor. i. 23.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Lord shall go forth out of Samaria unto the gate that looketh toward the East; and He shall come into Bethlehem, walking upon the waters of the redemption of Judah.
* Then shall every one be saved for, behold, He cometh.
℣. And in mercy shall His throne be established, and He shall sit upon it in truth.
℟. Then shall every one be saved for, behold, He cometh.

It is indeed folly in the eyes of men to say that the Author of life died for men and thus men put as a stumbling-block to hinder them from coming to Jesus, the very thing that doth oblige them the most unto Him. For the more humbling God hath undergone for man's sake, the more worthy is He that man should worship Him.

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me. Now what is this, but a plain mention of that time, when He afterwards humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross? It is as if He said: I indeed do wonderful works, but the day will come when I shall not refuse to suffer shame and evil treatment. Take heed then, ye who now worship Me for the works' sake, that when I come to die ye despise Me not for My death's sake.

And, as the disciples of John departed, what did Jesus say unto the multitudes concerning this same John? Let us hear. What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? Here our Lord teacheth not by assertion, but by negation. Now a reed is a thing so made that as soon as the wind bloweth upon it, it bendeth it over toward the opposite quarter. And the fleshly-minded man is like a human reed. As he is praised or blamed so he bendeth himself in the one direction or the other.

Continuation +︎ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 11:2-10
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, when John had heard in prison of the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples to say to Him, Are You He Who is to come, or shall we look for another? And Jesus answering said to them, Go and report to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise, the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not scandalized in Me. Then, as they went away, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who wear soft garments are in the houses of kings. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before Your face, who shall make ready Your way before You.’
℟. 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.
