Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum tempora}
Ex more docti mýstico
Servémus hoc ieiúnium,

Rex atque factor témporum.
Utámur ergo párcius

Somno, iocis, et árctius
Perstémus in custódia.
Vitémus autem nóxia,

Flectámus iram víndicem,
Plorémus ante Iúdicem,
Clamémus ore súpplici,
Dicámus omnes cérnui:
Nostris malis offéndimus
Tuam, Deus, cleméntiam:
Effúnde nobis désuper,

Meménto quod sumus tui,
Licet cadúci, plásmatis:
Ne des honórem nóminis

Laxa malum, quod fécimus,
Auge bonum, quod póscimus:

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
The fast, as taught by holy lore,
We keep in solemn course once more:
The fast to all men known, and bound
In forty days of yearly round.
The law and seers that were of old
In diverse ways this Lent foretold,
Which Christ, all seasons’ King and Guide,
In after ages sanctified.
More sparing therefore let us make
The words we speak, the food we take,
Our sleep and mirth, —and closer barred
Be every sense in holy guard.
Avoid the evil thoughts that roll
Like waters o’er the heedless soul;
Nor let the foe occasion find
Our souls in slavery to bind.
In prayer together let us fall,
And cry for mercy, one and all,
And weep before the Judge’s feet,
And his avenging wrath entreat.
Thy grace have we offended sore,
By sins, O God, which we deplore;
But pour upon us from on high,
O pardoning One, thy clemency.
Remember thou, though frail we be,
That yet thine handiwork are we;
Nor let the honour of thy name
Be by another put to shame.
Forgive the sin that we have wrought;
Increase the good that we have sought:
That we at length, our wanderings o'er,
May please thee here and evermore.
Grant O thou Blessed Trinity,
Grant, O Essential Unity,
That this our fast of forty days
May work our profit and thy praise.
Amen.

Consideráte, quæ mater filiórum Zebedǽi cum fíliis et pro fíliis petat: mater est útique, cui pro filiórum honóre sollícitæ, immoderátior quidem, sed tamen ignoscénda mensúra votórum est. Atque mater ætáte longǽva, stúdio religiósa, solátio destitúta, quæ tunc témporis, quando vel iuvánda, vel alénda foret válidæ prolis auxílio, abésse sibi líberos patiebátur, et voluptáti suæ mercédem sequéntium Christum prætúlerat filiórum.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 20:17-28
In that time, Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death. And so on.
Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan.
Bk. v to Gratian, on Faith, c. ii
Consider what it was that the mother of Zebedee's children came to Christ desiring, with, and for her sons. She was a mother, who, longing for the honour of her sons, preferred a request immoderate, and yet pardonable. She was a mother who, albeit stricken in years and comfortless, at an age when she had sore need of the strength of her offspring to help and keep her, was yet so earnest in godliness and motherly love, that she had liefer suffer the loss of her sons, that they might gain the reward of following Christ still, as we read they had already done, when, at the first call of the Lord, they left their nets and their father, iv. 21, 22.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Angel said unto Jacob
* Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he blessed him there.
℣. And when Jacob arose, behold there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day and, when he saw that he prevailed not, he said unto him
℟. Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he blessed him there.

Etsi error, pietátis tamen error est. Nésciunt enim matérna víscera patiéntiam: etsi voti avára, tamen veniábilis cupíditas, quæ non pecúniæ est ávida, sed grátiæ. Nec inverecúnda petítio, quæ non sibi, sed líberis consulébat. Matrem consideráte, matrem cogitáte.

Reading 2
She, then, yielding to the intensity of her motherly love, besought the Saviour, saying, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one at thy right hand and the other at thy left hand, in thy kingdom. Although it was a mistake, it was a mistake of love. For a mother's love knoweth no moderation. Yet, although it was a greedy prayer, that was a pardonable greed, which hungered, not for riches, but for grace. Neither was that request shameless which sought, not her own good, but her children's. Remember that she was a mother. Think how that she was a mother.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Reading 3
Christ took into His consideration that mother's love of hers, which made her sons' reward the comfort of her own old age, and which could bear the loss of her loved ones, broken as she was by a mother's yearnings. Consider also that she was a woman, that is, of the weaker sex, to which the Lord had not yet given strength by His Passion. Consider, I say, that she was an heiress of Eve, and weakened by that transmission of the unbridled covetousness of the first woman, which the Lord had not yet disarmed by His Blood, even that craving for undue dignity, wherewith all our natures are imbued, and which Christ's Bloodshedding had not yet washed away. She erred indeed, but the mistake was an inherited weakness.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. When Jacob heard that Esau came to meet him, he divided his sons and his wives, saying: If Esau smite the one company, then the other shall escape.

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.

50:9 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.

50:18 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.

℟. Deo grátias.

O sol salútis, íntimis,

Dum, nocte pulsa, grátior
Orbi dies renáscitur.
Dans tempus acceptábile,
Da lacrimárum rívulis
Laváre cordis víctimam,
Quam læta adúrat cáritas.
Quo fonte manávit nefas,
Fluent perénnes lácrimæ,
Si virga pœniténtiæ
Cordis rigórem cónterat.
Dies venit, dies tua,
In qua reflórent ómnia:
Lætémur et nos in viam
Tua redúcti déxtera.
Te prona mundi máchina,
Clemens, adóret, Trínitas,
Et nos novi per grátiam
Novum canámus cánticum.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Psalter for the day of the week}
Isa 58:1
Cry, cease not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their wicked doings, and the house of Jacob their sins.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Jesu, salvation’s Sun Divine,
Within our inmost bosoms shine,
With light all darkness drive away
And give the world a better day.
Now days of grace with mercy flow,
O Lord, the gift of tears bestow,
To wash our stains in every part,
Whilst heavenly fire consumes the heart.
Rise, crystal tears, from that same source
From whence our sins derive their course;
Nor cease, till hardened hearts relent,
And softened by your streams, repent.
Behold, the happy days return,
The days of joy for them that mourn;
May we of their indulgence share,
And bless the God that grants our prayer.
May heaven and earth aloud proclaim
The Trinity’s almighty fame;
And we, restored to grace, rejoice
In newness both of heart and voice.
Amen.
℣. God hath given His Angels charge over thee.
℟. To keep thee in all thy ways.

Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,

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.

Psalms {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
Ant. As I live, * saith the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the sinner, but rather that he be converted and live.
Psalm 25 [1]
25:1 Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: * and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.
25:2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; * burn my reins and my heart.
25:3 For thy mercy is before my eyes; * and I am well pleased with thy truth.
25:4 I have not sat with the council of vanity: * neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
25:5 I have hated the assembly of the malignant; * and with the wicked I will not sit.
25:6 I will wash my hands among the innocent; * and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
25:7 That I may hear the voice of thy praise: * and tell of all thy wondrous works.
25:8 I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; * and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
25:9 Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: * nor my life with bloody men:
25:10 In whose hands are iniquities: * their right hand is filled with gifts.
25:11 But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: * redeem me, and have mercy on me.
25:12 My foot hath stood in the direct way: * in the churches I will bless thee, O 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.

Psalmus 51 [2]
51:3 Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es in iniquitáte?
51:4 Tota die iniustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.
51:5 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.
51:6 Dilexísti ómnia verba præcipitatiónis, * lingua dolósa.
51:7 Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem, * evéllet te, et emigrábit te de tabernáculo tuo: et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.
51:8 Vidébunt iusti, et timébunt, et super eum ridébunt, et dicent: * Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum adiutórem suum:
51:9 Sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum: * et præváluit in vanitáte sua.
51:10 Ego autem, sicut olíva fructífera in domo Dei, * sperávi in misericórdia Dei in ætérnum: et in sǽculum sǽculi.
51:11 Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti: * et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm 51 [2]
51:3 Why dost thou glory in malice, * thou that art mighty in iniquity?
51:4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
51:5 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: * and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
51:6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.
51:7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
51:8 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: * Behold the man that made not God his helper:
51:9 But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.
51:10 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, * have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
51:11 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: * and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
℣. 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 52 [3]
52:1 Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * Non est Deus.
52:2 Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in iniquitátibus: * non est qui fáciat bonum.
52:3 Deus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum: * ut vídeat si est intéllegens, aut requírens Deum.
52:4 Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
52:5 Nonne scient omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?
52:6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
52:6 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.
52:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Iacob, et lætábitur Israël.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Ant. Vivo ego dicit Dóminus: nolo mortem peccatóris, sed ut magis convertátur et vivat.

Psalm 52 [3]
52:1 The fool said in his heart: * There is no God.
52:2 They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: * there is none that doth good.
52:3 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: * to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
52:4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.
52:5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, * who eat up my people as they eat bread?
52:6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
52:6 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
52:7 Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? * when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
℣. 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. As I live, saith the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the sinner, but rather that he be converted and live.

Martyrology {anticipated}
March 5th 2026, the 16th day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Antioch, [about the year 320,] the holy martyr Phocas. For the Redeemer's name's sake he gained the victory over many an assault of the old serpent, and that victory is still held forth before the people, with this miracle, that if any be bitten of a serpent and touch in faith the door of this martyr's church, he is forthwith healed of the poison.
At Cassarea, in Palestine, [in the year 308,] the holy martyr Hadrian, who was crowned by command of the President Firmilian, in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian. He was first thrown to a lion, but afterward slain with the sword.
On the same day, the holy martyr Eusebius, and nine others.
At Caesarea, in Palestine, [in the year 200,] holy Theophilus, Bishop of that see, who was a great light for wisdom and good living in the time of the Emperor Severus.
Likewise in Palestine, on the bank of the Jordan, [in the year 475,] the holy hermit Gerasimus, who flourished in the time of the Emperor Zeno.
At Naples, [in the year 1734,] holy John Joseph of the Cross, barefooted Friar Minor, first Provincial of the Italian followers of holy Peter of Alcantara. He strove to tread in the footsteps of holy Francis of Assisi and Peter of Alcantara, was a bright ornament of the Seraphic Order, and was numbered among the saints by Pope Gregory XVI.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalm 54(2-16) [2]
54:2 Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication: * be attentive to me and hear me.
54:3 I am grieved in my exercise; * and am troubled, at the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner.
54:4 For they have cast iniquities upon me; * and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
54:5 My heart is troubled within me: * and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
54:6 Fear and trembling are come upon me: * and darkness hath covered me.
54:7 And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, * and I will fly and be at rest?
54:8 Lo, I have gone far off flying away; * and I abode in the wilderness.
54:9 I waited for him that hath saved me * from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
54:10 Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; * for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
54:11 Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: * and in the midst thereof are labour, and injustice.
54:12 And usury and deceit * have not departed from its streets.
54:13 For if my enemy had reviled me, * I would verily have borne with it.
54:13 And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, * I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
54:14 But thou a man of one mind, * my guide, and my familiar.
54:15 Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: * in the house of God we walked with consent.
54:16 Let death come upon them, * and let them go down alive into hell.
54:16 For there is wickedness in their dwellings: * in the midst of them.

Psalm 54(17-24) [3]
54:17 But I have cried to God: * and the Lord will save me.
54:18 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: * and he shall hear my voice.
54:19 He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: * for among many they were with me.
54:20 God shall hear, * and the Eternal shall humble them.
54:20 For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God: * he hath stretched forth his hand to repay.
54:21 They have defiled his covenant, they are divided by the wrath of his countenance, * and his heart hath drawn near.
54:22 His words are smoother than oil, * and the same are darts.
54:23 Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: * he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
54:24 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down * into the pit of destruction.
54:24 Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; * but I will trust in thee, O Lord.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Psalter for the day of the week}
Joel 2:17
Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord's ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
O kind Creator, bow thine ear
To mark the cry, to know the tear
Before thy throne of mercy spent
In this thy holy fast of Lent.
Our hearts are open, Lord, to thee:
Thou knowest our infirmity;
Pour out on all who seek thy face
Abundance of thy pardoning grace.
Our sins are many, this we know;
Spare us, good Lord, thy mercy show;
And for the honour of thy name
Our fainting souls to life reclaim.
Give us the self-control that springs
From discipline of outward things,
That fasting inward secretly
The soul may purely dwell with thee.
We pray thee, Holy Trinity,
One God, unchanging Unity,
That we from this our abstinence
May reap the fruits of penitence.
Amen.
℣. God hath given His Angels charge over thee.
℟. To keep thee in all thy ways.

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.
