Hymnus {Doxology: PascT}
Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.

Linguam refrénans témperet,
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,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.

Glória tibi Dómine,
Qui surréxisti a mórtuis,
Cum Patre et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
Hymn {Doxology: PascT}
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.

To Thee Who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, Thy people give;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

13:2 Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intéllegens, aut requírens Deum.
13:3 Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:3 Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum: linguis suis dolóse agébant * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
13:3 Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.

Psalm 13 [2]
13:1 The fool hath said in his heart: * there is no God.
13:1 They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: * there is none that doth good, no not one.
13:2 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
13:3 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: * there is none that doth good: no not one.
13:3 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: * the poison of asps is under their lips.
13:3 Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; * their feet are swift to shed blood.
13:3 Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: * there is no fear of God before their eyes.
13:4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, * who devour my people as they eat bread?
13:5 They have not called upon the Lord: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
13:6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man; * but the Lord is his hope.

14:4 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu eius malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:

14:3 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
14:4 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord:
14:5 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
14:5 He that doth these things, * shall not be moved for ever.

On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy Confessor Antonine, Archbishop of Florence, whose birth into the better life is told upon the 2nd day of May.
May 10th 2019, the 6th day of the Moon, is kept

At Rome, on the Latin Way, the birthday of the holy martyrs Gordian and Epimachus. Gordian was long beaten with whips loaded with lead, and at last beheaded, in the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate, because of his confession of Christ's Name. The Christians buried his body at night upon the aforesaid Latin Way, in the same underground place whither had a little while before been brought from Alexandria the remains of the blessed martyr Epimachus, who had there suffered martyrdom for believing in Christ.
In the land of Uz is commemorated the holy prophet Job, a man of wondrous patience.
At Rome, the blessed priest and martyr Calepodius, whom the Emperor Alexander [Severus] caused to be slain with the sword, and his body to be dragged through the city and cast into the Tiber; when it had been found it was buried by Pope Callistus.
Moreover, at Rome also, there were beheaded the Consul Palmatius, along with his wife and children and forty-two others of both sexes of his house; also the Senator Simplicius, with his wife and sixty-eight of his household; also Felix, with his wife Blanda. Their heads were hung up at the different gates of the city to be a terror to Christians.
Also at Rome, at the Hundred Halls, upon the Latin Way, are commemorated the holy martyrs Quartus and Quintus, whose bodies were taken to Capua.
At Lentini, in Sicily, [in the third century,] the holy martyrs Alphius, Philadelphus, and Cyrinus.
At Smyrna, the holy martyr Dioscoredes.
At Bologna, [in the year 1443,] the blessed Nicholas Albergati, Bishop of that city, a Charterhouse monk, and Cardinal of the holy Roman Church, famous for his holiness and for his work as Legate of the Apostolic See. His body is buried in the Charterhouse at Florence.
At Taranto, [at the end of the seventh century,] the holy Catald, Bishop [of that city, an Irish monk,] famous for wonders.
At Milan is commemorated the finding of the bodies of the holy martyrs Nazarius and Celsus. The blessed Bishop Ambrose found the body of holy Nazarius still marked with fresh blood, and took it to the Cathedral Church of the Apostles along with the body of the blessed child Celsus, to whom Nazarius had been foster-father. In the persecution under Nero, Anolinus commanded them both together to be slain with the sword upon the 29th day of July, upon the which day is kept [at Milan] the feast of their martyrdom.
At Madrid, [in the year 1175,] the holy Isidore the husbandman, famous for wonders, whom Pope Gregory XV enrolled in the list of the Saints along with holy Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Teresa, and Philip Neri.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℣. Precious in the sight of the Lord.
℟. Is the death of his saints.

Regula
Incipit Régula Sancti Patri Nostri Benedícti. Caput 1: De genéribus monachórum

Monachórum quáttuor esse génera, maniféstum est. Primum cœnobitárum, hoc est monasteriále, mílitans sub régula vel abbáte. Deínde secúndum genus est anachoritárum id est heremitárum, horum qui non conversatiónis fervóre novício, sed monastérii probatióne diutúrna, qui didicérunt contra diábulum multórum solácio iam docti pugnáre, et bene extrúcti fratérna ex ácie ad singulárem pugnam herémi, secúri iam sine consolatióne alteríus, sola manu vel bráchio contra vítia carnis vel cogitatiónum, Deo auxiliánte, pugnáre suffíciunt.
Tértium vero monachórum tetérrimum genus est Sarabaitárum, qui nulla régula adprobáti, experiéntia magístra, sicut aurum fornácis, sed in plumbi natúra mollíti, adhuc opéribus servántes sǽculo fidem, mentíri Deo per tonsúram noscúntur. Qui bini aut terni aut certe sínguli sine pastóre, non domínicis sed suis inclúsi ovílibus, pro lege eis est desideriórum volúptas, cum quidquid putáverint vel elégerint, hoc dicunt sanctum, et quod nolúerint, hoc putant non licére. Quartum vero genus est monachórum quod nominátur giróvagum, qui tota vita sua per divérsas províncias ternis aut quatérnis diébus per diversórum cellas hospitántur, semper vagi et numquam stábiles, et própriis voluntátibus et gulæ inlécebris serviéntes, et per ómnia deterióres Sarabaítis. De quorum ómnium horum misérrima conversatióne mélius est silére quam loqui. His ergo omíssis, ad cœnobitárum fortíssimum genus disponéndum, adiuvánte Dómino, veniámus.

Lectio brevis {ex Commune aut Festo}
Sir 45:19-20

℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Regula
The Rule of our Holy Father Benedict. Chapter 1: Concerning the Different Kinds of Monks

It is well known that there are four kinds of monks.
The first kind are the Cenobites:
those who live in monasteries
and serve under a rule and an Abbot.

The second kind are the Anchorites or Hermits:
those who,
no longer in the first fervor of their reformation,
but after long probation in a monastery,
having learned by the help of many brethren
how to fight against the devil,
go out well armed from the ranks of the community
to the solitary combat of the desert.
They are able now,
with no help save from God,
to fight single-handed against the vices of the flesh
and their own evil thoughts.

The third kind of monks, a detestable kind, are the Sarabaites.
These, not having been tested,
as gold in the furnace (Wis. 3:6),
by any rule or by the lessons of experience,
are as soft as lead.
In their works they still keep faith with the world,
so that their tonsure marks them as liars before God.
They live in twos or threes, or even singly,
without a shepherd,
in their own sheepfolds and not in the Lord's.
Their law is the desire for self-gratification:
whatever enters their mind or appeals to them,
that they call holy;
what they dislike, they regard as unlawful.

The fourth kind of monks are those called Gyrovagues.
These spend their whole lives tramping from province to province,
staying as guests in different monasteries
for three or four days at a time.
Always on the move, with no stability,
they indulge their own wills
and succumb to the allurements of gluttony,
and are in every way worse than the Sarabaites.
Of the miserable conduct of all such
it is better to be silent than to speak.

Passing these over, therefore,
let us proceed, with God's help,
to lay down a rule for the strongest kind of monks, the Cenobites.

Short reading {from the Common or Feast}
