GENERAL RUBRICS
OF THE BREVIARY AND MISSAL
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL RULES
1. The following rubrics concern the
Roman rite.
2. The term 'calendar' includes both the
calendar in use in the universal Church
and particular calendars.
3. The general rules which follow apply
both to the Breviary and the Missal.
There are, however, some exceptions
given in particular rubrics, which occur
here and there in the Breviary and Mis-
sal edited in accordance with the ru-
brics.

CHAPTER 2
THE LITURGICAL DAY
IN GENERAL
4. The liturgical day is the day sanctified by
the liturgical rites, especially the Eucha-
ristic Sacrifice and the public prayer of
the Church, that is the Divine Office; it
runs from midnight to midnight.
5. The celebration of the liturgical day
normally (per se) runs from Matins to
Compline. But there are more solemn
days, whose Office begins at I vespers
on the preceding day.
There is also an incomplete liturgical
celebration or a simple commemoration in
the Office and Mass of the occurring
liturgical day.
6. Each day is either a Sunday, or feria, or
vigil, or feast, or octave according to the
calendar and the precedence of liturgi-
cal days.
7. Precedence among the individual
liturgical days in invariably determined
by the special table (n. 91).
8. Liturgical days are of first, second, third
or fourth class.

CHAPTER 3
SUNDAYS
9. The term 'Sunday' means the Lord's day,
which occurs at the beginning of each
week.

10. Sundays are I or II class.
11. Sundays I class are:
a) I-IV Advent;
b) I-IV Lent;
c) I-II Passiontide;
d) Easter Sunday;

12. All other Sundays are II class.
13. The Office of Sunday begins at I Vespers
on the preceding Saturday, and finishes
after Compline on Sunday.
14. Sunday is celebrated on the day itself, ac-
cording to the rubrics. The Office and
Mass of an impeded Sunday are neither
anticipated nor resumed.
15. Sunday I class takes precedence over all
feasts in occurrence.
The feast of the Immaculate Concep-
tion of our Lady, however, takes prece-
dence over the Sunday of Advent on
which it falls.
In concurrence the rules given in nn.
104-105 are to be observed.
16. Sunday II class takes precedence over
feasts II class in occurrence. But:
a) feast of the Lord I or II class, falling on
a Sunday II class, takes the place of the
Sunday with all rights and privileges;
accordingly the Sunday is not com-
memorated;
b) Sunday II class takes precedence over All
Souls' Day.
In concurrence the rules given in nn.
104-105 are to be observed.
17. Normally feasts cannot be permanently
fixed on a Sunday. These are excepted:
a) feast of the Holy Name of Jesus,
celebrated on the Sunday between 2nd
and 5th January (otherwise on 2nd
January);
b) feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary
and Joseph, celebrated on first Sunday
after Epiphany;
c) feast of the Blessed Trinity, celebrated

General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal

d) feast of Christ the King, celebrated on
last Sunday of October;
e) feasts of the Lord I class, which in
particular calendars are now fixed on a
Sunday II class.
These feasts take the place of the Sun-
day on which they fall with all rights
and privileges; hence, the Sunday is not
commemorated.
18. The Sundays after Epiphany which are
impeded by Septuagesima are trans-
ferred until after XXIII Sunday after
Pentecost, in this order:
a) when there are 25 Sundays after Pente-
cost, VI Sunday after Epiphany is as-
signed to XXIV Sunday;
b) when there are 26 Sundays, the V after
Epiphany is assigned to XXIV Sunday;
and VI is assigned to XXV;
c) when there are 27 Sundays, IV after
V is assigned to XXV; and VI is as-
signed to XXVI;
d) when there are 28 Sundays, III after
IV is assigned to XXV; V is assigned to
XXVI; and VI is assigned to XXVII.
The Sunday which is set down as XXIV
after Pentecost is always put in the last
place, omitting, if need be, any others
for which there happens to be no place.
19. The first Sunday of the month means the
first one to occur in the month, namely
between 1st and 7th of the month; the
last Sunday is that which immediately
precedes the 1st of the following
month.
Likewise, in calculating the first Sunday
of the months of August, September,
October and November for purposes
of the occurring Scriptural lessons, the
first Sunday will be that which falls
between 1st of 7th of the month.
20. First Sunday of Advent is that which falls
on 30th November, or is nearest to it.

CHAPTER 4

of the week apart from Sunday.
22. Ferias are first, second, third or fourth
class.
23. Ferias I class are:

b) all the ferias of Holy Week.
These ferias take precedence over all
feasts, and admit no commemoration,
except a single privileged one.
24. Ferias II class are:
a) ferias of Advent from 17th to 23rd
December;
b) Ember Days of Advent, Lent and
September.
These ferias take precedence over all
particular feasts II class; and if im-

25. Ferias III class are:
a) ferias of Lent and Passiontide, from
Thursday after Ash Wednesday to
Saturday before the II Sunday of Pas-
siontide inclusive, which have not been

inclusive, not mentioned above; these
give place to feasts III class.
These ferias, if impeded, must be com-
memorated.
26. All ferias not mentioned in nn. 23-25, are
ferias IV class; if impeded, these are
never commemorated.
27. The Office of a feria begins at Matins
and finishes normally after Compline;
but the Office of Saturday, except the
Office of Holy Saturday, finishes after
none.

CHAPTER 5
VIGILS
28. The term 'vigil' means the liturgical day
which precedes a feast, and which is by
nature a preparation for it.
But the Vigil of Easter, since it is not a
liturgical day, is celebrated in its own
special way, or as a nocturnal vigil.
29. Vigils are first, second or third class.
30. Vigils I class are:
a) vigil of Christmas, which in occurrence
takes the place of IV Sunday of Ad-
vent, hence the Sunday is not com-
memorated;
b) vigil of Pentecost.
General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal

These vigils take precedence over all
feasts, and do not admit any
commemoration.
31. Vigils II class are:
a) vigil of the Ascension of our Lord;
b) vigil of the Assumption of our Lady;
c) vigil of the Birthday of St. John the
Baptist;
d) vigil of SS. Peter and Paul, Apostles.
These vigils take precedence over
liturgical days III and IV class; and if
impeded, they are commemorated ac-
cording to the rubrics.
32. Vigil III class is the vigil of St. Laurence.
This vigil takes precedence over liturgi-
cal days IV class; and if impeded, it is
commemorated according to the ru-
brics.
33. Vigils II or II class are omitted entirely
when they fall on any Sunday, or feast I
class, or if the feast which they precede
is transferred to another day or reduced
to a commemoration.
34. The Office of a vigil begins at Matins
and finishes when the Office of the
following feast begins.

CHAPTER 6
FEASTS AND THE CALENDAR
A - The nature and quality of feasts
35. The term 'feast' means a liturgical day on
which the public worship of the Church
is directed in a special way to the cele-
bration of the divine mysteries, or to
the veneration of our Lady, the Angels,
Saints or Beati.
36. Feasts are first, second or third class.
37. The procedure for the celebration of
feasts is:
a) feasts I class are counted among the
more solemn days, and their Office
begins at I Vespers on the preceding
day;
b) feasts II and III class have an Office
which normally runs from Matins to
Compline of the day itself;
c) feasts of the Lord II class acquire I
Vespers, whenever, in occurrence, they
take the place of a Sunday II class.
38. Feasts are universal and particular; and
particular are proper or by Indult.
39. Universal feasts are those which are
inscribed in the calendar of the Univer-
sal Church by the Holy See.
These feasts must be celebrated accord-
ing to the rubrics by all who follow the
Roman rite.
40. Particular feasts are those which are
inscribed in particular calendars by law
or by indult of the Holy See.
These feasts must be celebrated accord-
ing to the rubrics by all who are bound
by that calendar, and they can be de-
leted from the calendar or changed in
rank only by a special indult of the
Holy See.
41. Particular feasts inscribed in the calendar
by law (ipso iure) are the proper feasts of:
a) each nation and ecclesiastical or civil
region or province;
b) each diocese or ecclesiastical territory
ruled by a 'local Ordinary' (n. 43);
c) each place or town, or city (n. 44);

47. Particular feasts by indult are feasts which
are inscribed in particular calendars by
indult of the Holy See.

B - The Calendar and its feasts
48. The calendar is universal and particular or
proper.
49. The universal calendar is the calendar for
the use of the Universal Church, and
this governs the Roman Breviary and
Missal.
50. The particular or proper calendar is
diocesan or religious; and is made up by
inserting particular feasts into the
universal calendar.
The permanent arrangement of this
particular calendar is to be made respec-
tively by the local Ordinary or by the
religious Superior General after consult-
ing his general Chapter or Council, and
it must be approved by the Sacred Con-
gregation of Rites.
51. Each diocese and any other ecclesiastical
territory ruled by a 'local Ordinary' has
a diocesan calendar.
52. In the diocesan calendar, in addition to uni-
versal feasts, the following must be
inscribed:
a) feasts proper (n. 42) and by indult to the
whole nation or ecclesiastical or civil
region or province;
b) feasts proper (n. 43) and by indult to the
whole diocese.
53 From the diocesan calendar is made up:
a) the calendar of each place, by adding
feasts proper (n. 44) and by indult;
b) the calendar of each church or oratory,
by adding likewise the local feasts
proper (n. 44) and by indult, and the
feasts proper (n. 45) and by indult to
the church itself;
c) the calendar of Congregations of
Religious Women or Institutes of Pon-
tifical right, which are not bound to the
recitation of the Divine Office; and
Congregations of diocesan right, by
adding the local feasts proper (n. 44)
and by indult; and also other proper
(nn. 45 & 46) and by indult to them-
selves.
54. The following have a calendar of religious:
a) Regular Orders and Nuns and Sisters of
the same Order, also Tertiaries aggre-
gated to them who live in community
and take simple vows;
b) Religious Congregations or Institutes of
both sexes of Pontifical right, and con-
stituted under the government of a
Superior General, if they are bound to
the recitation of the Divine Office by
any title.
55. In the calendar of religious, in addition to
the universal feasts, feasts proper (n.
46) and by indult to the Order
or Congregation must be inscribed.
56. From this calendar of religious is made up:
a) the calendar of each religious province,
by adding the feasts proper (n. 46) and
by indult;
b) the calendar of each church or oratory,
by adding likewise the feasts proper (n.
45) and by indult, and also those men-
tioned in the following paragraph; this
v General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal

is also called the calendar of the reli-
gious house.
57. In each diocese and place, the religious,
including also those who follow a rite
other than the Roman rite, are obliged
to celebrate together with the diocesan
clergy;
a) the feast of the principal Patron of the
nation, the ecclesiastical or civil region
or province, the diocese, the place or
town or city (I class);
b) anniversary of the Dedication of the
Cathedral (I class);
c) other feasts, if any, actually observed as
holy days, with the same rank in which
they are inscribed in the diocesan calen-
dar.
58. In celebrating the feasts of Saints of the
Order or Congregation, religious are
bound to conform to the diocesan
clergy in regard to the day and more
proper Office, wherever these Saints are
venerated as principal Patrons (n. 57 a).
Likewise, if the feasts of Saints or Beati
of an Order or Congregation are cele-
brated by the clergy of some diocese or
place with a higher rank or more proper
Office, the religious of the same Order
or Congregation in the place may also
celebrate the feasts with the higher
grade or more proper Office, provided
that the feasts are inscribed in both
calendars on the same day.

C - The Proper Day of Feasts
59. Feasts already existing in the calendar are
to be celebrated on the day on which
they are now found inscribed.
60. For the introduction of new universal
feasts, the following are to be observed:
a) feasts of Saints are ordinarily assigned to
their 'birthday' (dies natalicius), that is the
day on which the Saint was born into
eternal life; if for any reason this day is
impeded, the feasts are to be assigned
to a day fixed by the Holy See, and
accordingly this will be regarded as the
'quasi-birthday';
b) for other feasts, the day will be fixed by
the Holy See.
61. For the introduction of new particular
feasts, the following are to be observed:
a) the proper feasts of Saints and Beati are
to be fixed ordinarily on their 'birthday',
unless it is impeded or the Holy See
determines otherwise. But the proper
feasts of a place or church, which are
also inscribed in the universal or dioce-
san calendar or in that of religious, but
with a lower rank, are to be celebrated
on the same day as in the universal or
diocesan calendar or that of religious;
b) if the 'birthday' is unknown, the feasts
are to be fixed, with the approval of the
Holy See, on a day, which is always IV
class in the calendar of the diocese or
religious;
c) but if the 'birthday' is permanently
impeded for the whole diocese or Reli-
gious Order or proper Church, the
feasts are to be fixed in such a particular
calendar in this way: if they are I or II
class, they are to be fixed on the nearest
day following which is not I or II class;
if III class, they are to be fixed on the
nearest day that is free from other feasts
or Offices of equal or higher rank;
d) particular feasts by indult are to be
inscribed in the calendar on the day
assigned by the Holy See in the grant.
62. Saints and Beati who for any reason are
inscribed in the calendar with a single
feast, are always celebrated together as
found in the Breviary, whenever they
are celebrated with the same rank, even
though one or other of them may be
more proper.
Accordingly:
a) if one or several of these Saints are to be
celebrated with a feast I class, the Of-
fice is of these only, and the compan-
ions are omitted;
b) if one or several of these Saints or Beati
are more proper and celebrated with a
higher rank, the whole Office is of
those more proper, with a commemora-
tion of the companions]

CHAPTER 7
OCTAVES
A - Octaves in General
63. An octave is a celebration, prolonged for
either successive days, of the great
feasts.

64. The octaves of Christmas, Easter and
Pentecost only are celebrated; all others,
either in the universal or particular
calendars, are excluded.
65. Octaves are I and II class.
B - Octaves I Class
66. Octaves I class are Easter and Pentecost.
The days within these octaves are I
class.
C - Octave II Class
67. The Octave II class is the octave of
Christmas. The days within the octave
are II class; but the octave day is I class.
68. The octave of Christmas is arranged in a
special way, namely:
a) 26th December is feast of St. Stephen,
Protomartyr (II class);
b) 27th December is feast of St. John,
Apostle and Evangelist (II class);
c) 28th December is feast of the Holy
Innocents, Martyrs (II class);
d) 29th December is commemoration of
St. Thomas, Bishop and Martyr;
e) 31st December is commemoration of St.
Silvester, Pope and Confessor;
f) only those particular feasts are admitted
which are I class and in honour of the
Saints inscribed in the universal calen-
dar on these days, even though merely a
commemoration; others are transferred
until after the octave.
69. On the Sunday within the octave of
Christmas, which falls between 26th and
31st December, the Office of the Sun-
day is always celebrated with a com-
memoration of any feast that may oc-
cur, according to the rubrics, unless the
Sunday falls on a feast I class, in which
case the Office is of the feast, with a
commemoration of the Sunday.
70. The special rules for arranging the Office
and Mass during the octave of Christ-
mas are found in the rubrics of the
Breviary and Missal.

CHAPTER 10
THE GREATER AND LESSER
LITANIES
A - The Greater Litanies
80. The Greater Litanies are fixed on 25th
April; but if Easter Sunday or Monday
after Easter falls on that day, they are
transferred to the following Tuesday.
81. The Greater Litanies are not mentioned
in the Office, but only in the Mass.
Their commemoration is not consid-
ered a "seasonal" commemoration (de
tempore).
82. According to the conditions and customs
of the church and place, of which mat-
ters the local Ordinary is the judge, a
procession is held on this day, and dur-
ing it the Litany of the Saints is said
(but without being doubled), along with
its prayers.
83. If, however, the procession cannot be
held, local Ordinaries are to arrange
special public prayers, during which the
Litany of the Saints and the other
prayers customary in the procession are
said.
84. All, who are bound to the recitation of
the Divine Office, and who are not
present at the procession or special
public prayers mentioned in the preced-
ing paragraph, are obliged to recite, in
Latin, on this day the Litany of the
Saints with its prayers.
85. If the Litany of the Saints and its
prayers, according to local custom, are
said with the faithful in the vernacular
during the procession or other special
public prayers, those who are bound to
the recitation of the Divine Office,
and who are duly present at these
public prayers, are not obliged to
repeat these prayers in Latin.
86. The Mass of the Rogations is to be said
regularly at the conclusion of the
procession, according to the norms laid
down in nn. 346-347. Indeed, it is
appropriate that the Mass of the Roga-
tions be also said after the special public
prayers which take the place of the
procession, even though they are held
in the evening.

B - The Lesser Litanies or Rogations
87. The Lesser Litanies or Rogations are nor-
mally (per se) fixed on the Monday, Tues-
day and Wednesday before the feast of
our Lord's Ascension.
Local Ordinaries have authority to
transfer them to another three succes-
sive days better suited to the peculiari-
ties, customs or needs of the area.
88. The Lesser Litanies are not mentioned in
the Office, but only in the Mass which
is associated with the procession or
other special public prayers.
89. In regard to the procession or other
special public prayers and the Mass or
commemoration, what has been laid
down above for the Greater Litanies is
to be observed (nn. 81-83 & 86).
90. The Litany of the Saints with its prayers
are said on these days only in the
procession or other public prayers (cfr.
n. 85). Accordingly, those who are
bound to the recitation of the Divine
Office, and who are not present at the
procession or other special public
prayers, are not obliged to recite the
Litany of the Saints with its prayers on
these days.

LITURGICAL DAYS IV CLASS

completely that year, according to the
rubrics.
THE OCCURRENCE OF
LITURGICAL DAYS
92. Occurrence is the coinciding of two or
more Offices on one and the same day.
Occurrence is accidental when a movable
liturgical day and a fixed liturgical day
coincide only at given intervals of years;
but it is permanent when two liturgical
days coincide each year.
93. The effect of occurrences is that the Of-
fice of the liturgical day of lower rank
gives place to the Office of higher rank.
This may be done by omitting, or com-
memorating, or transferring, or reas-
signing the less important Office, as
indicated in the following paragraphs.
94. A commemoration fixed for a given day
is not transferred or reassigned with the
transfer or reassignment of the feast,
but is made on its proper day or omit-
ted, according to the rubrics.

CHAPTER 13
THE ACCIDENTAL
OCCURRENCE AND TRANSFER
OF LITURGICAL DAYS
95. The right of transfer to another day, be-
cause of accidental occurrence with a
liturgical day having a higher place in
the table of precedence, belongs only
to feasts I class. Other feasts,
accidentally impeded by an Office of
higher rank, are either commemorated,
or omitted
But if two feasts of the same divine
Person, or two feasts of the same Saint
or Beatus fall on the same day, the Of-
fice is of the feast which has the higher
place in the table of precedence, and
the other is omitted.
96. A feast I class, impeded by a day which
has a higher place in the table of prece-
dence, is transferred to the nearest day
following which is not I or II class.
However:
a) When the feast of the Annunciation of
our Lady must be transferred after
Easter, it is transferred, as to its proper
place, to Monday after Low Sunday.
b) When All Souls' Day falls on a Sunday, it
is transferred, as to its proper place, to
the Monday following.
97. If several feasts I class fall on the same day,
on the day itself the feast that has the
higher place in the table of precedence
is celebrated; and the others are
transferred in the order in which
they are inscribed in the table of
precedence.
98. Likewise, when several feasts I class,
which fall on successive days, happen to be
transferred, the order in which they are
inscribed in the table of precedence is
to be retained; and in cases of equality,
the Office first impeded takes prece-
dence.
99. Transferred feasts have the same rank as
in their proper place.
General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal X

CHAPTER 14
THE PERMANENT
OCCURRENCE OF
LITURGICAL DAYS
AND THEIR REASSIGNMENT
100. The right to be reassigned (Ius repositionis)
to another day, because of permanent
occurrence with a liturgical day which
has a higher place in the table of prece-
dence, belongs to all feasts I and II
class, and also to particular feasts
III class, occurring outside Advent
and
Lent, which are impeded in the whole
diocese or the whole Order or Congre-
gation, or in a proper church.
But feasts III class of the universal
Church, permanently impeded in a
particular calendar, or feasts III class of
the diocese, or Order or Congregation
so impeded only in some churches, are
permanently either commemorated or
completely omitted, according to the
rubrics.
101. If the feasts that must be reassigned are I
or II class, they are to be assigned to the
nearest following day, which is not I or
II class; if they are III class, they are to
be assigned to the nearest day following
free from other Offices of the same or
higher rank.
102. The day, to which a permanently
impeded feast is reassigned, is
regarded as its proper day, and on
this day the reassigned feast is
celebrated with the same rank as in its
proper place.

CHAPTER 15
THE CONCURRENCE OF
LITURGICAL DAYS
103. Concurrence means the coinciding of
Vespers of the current liturgical day
with I Vespers of the following liturgi-
cal day.
104. In concurrence, Vespers of the liturgical
day of higher class take priority, and the
others are commemorated or not, ac-
cording to the rubrics.
105. But when liturgical days of the same class
concur at Vespers, the complete II Ves-
pers of the current Office are said, and
the following Office is commemorated,
according to the rubrics.
CHAPTER 16
COMMEMORATIONS
106. What is laid down here concerning
commemorations applies both to the
Mass and to the Office, either in occur-
rence or in concurrence.
107. Commemorations are either privileged or
ordinary.
108. Privileged commemorations are made at
Lauds and Vespers and also in all
Masses; but ordinary commemorations
are made only at Lauds, in conventual
Masses and in all low Masses.
109. Privileged commemorations are
commemorations of:
a) Sunday;
b) liturgical day I class;
c) days within the octave of Christmas;
d) Ember Days in September;
e) ferias of Advent, Lent and Passiontide;
f) Greater Litanies, at Mass.
All other commemorations are ordinary
commemorations.
110. The commemoration of St. Paul is
always made in the Office and Mass of
St. Peter, and vice versa. This
commemoration is termed inseparable;
and the two prayers are considered
to be united in such a way that,
in counting the number of prayers,
they
are reckoned only as one. Accordingly:
a) in the Office of St. Peter or St. Paul, the
prayer of the other Apostle is added at
Lauds and Vespers, under the one con-
clusion, to the prayer of the day, with-
out antiphon or verse;
b) in the Mass of St. Peter or St. Paul, the
prayer of the other Apostle is added,
under the one conclusion, to the prayer
of the day;
c) but whenever the prayer of one Apostle
must be added as a commemoration (ad
modum commemorationis), the other prayer
is added immediately to this, before all
other commemorations.
111. The rule for allowing commemorations
is:
a) on liturgical days I class and in sung
Masses (in cantu), which are not conven-
tual, no commemoration is allowed,
except a privileged one;

b) on Sundays II class, only one
commemoration, namely of a feast II
class, is allowed, and this is omitted if a
privileged commemoration must be
made;
c) on other liturgical days II class, only one
commemoration is allowed, namely,
either one privileged or one ordinary;
d) on liturgical days III and IV class, only
two commemorations are allowed.
112. In the matter of commemorations and
prayers, the following must also be
observed:
a) the Office, Mass or commemoration of
some feast or mystery of a divine Per-
son excludes a commemoration or
prayer of another feast or mystery of
the same divine Person;
b) the Office, Mass or commemoration of
a Sunday excludes a commemoration or
prayer of a feast or mystery of the
Lord, and vice versa;
c) the Office, Mass or commemoration of
the season excludes another commemo-
ration of the season;
d) likewise, the Office, Mass or commemo-
ration of our Lady or of some Saint or
Beatus excludes another commemora-
tion or prayer in which the intercession
of our Lady or the same Saint or Beatus
is sought; however, this does not apply
to the prayer of the Sunday or feria in
which the invocation of the same Saint
occurs.
113. The commemoration of the season
is made first. In allowing and
arranging other commemorations, the
order of the table of precedence is
followed.
114. Any commemoration that exceeds the
number set down for the individual
liturgical days is omitted.

CHAPTER 17
THE CONCLUSION OF
PRAYERS
115. The conclusion of prayers both in Mass
and in the Office is as follows:
a) If the prayer is addressed to the Father,
it concludes: Per Dominum nostrum
Iesum Christum Filium tuum, qui te-
cum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus
Sancti, Deus, per omnia sxcula sculo-
rum. Amen.; or in English: Through
our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who
liveth and reigneth with Thee in the
unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world
without end. Amen.
b) if the prayer is addressed to the Father,
but the Son is mentioned at the begin-
ning, it concludes: Per eundem Domi-
num nostrum etc., as above; or in Eng-
lish: Through the same Lord etc., as
above.
c) if the prayer is addressed to the Father,
but the Son is mentioned at the end, it
concludes: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in
unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia
sxcula sculorum. Amen; or in English:
Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in
the unity of the Holy Ghost, God,
world without end. Amen.
d) if the prayer is addressed to the Son, it
concludes: Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo
Patre in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus,
per omnia sxcula sculorum. Amen; or
in English: Who livest and reignest with
God the Father in the unity of the Holy
Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
e) if the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the
prayer, in the conclusion is said:
Spiri- tus eiusdem unitate, etc.
116. Other special conclusions sometimes
indicated in liturgical books must also
be retained.

CHAPTER 18
THE COLOURS OF VESTMENS
A - The Colours of Vestments in General
117. The vestments of the altar, celebrant
and ministers must be of the colour in
keeping with the Office and Mass of
the day, or with another Mass to be
celebrated, according to the use of the
Roman Church, which by custom uses
five colours: white, red, green, violet
and black.
However, indults and lawful customs
for the use of other colours remain in
force.
Wherever in missionary territories,
because of an established and genuine
native custom, the symbolism of any of
the liturgical colours of the Roman
Church conflicts with the symbolism
General Rubrics of the Breviary and Missal X

natural to that people, the Episcopal
Conference of the region or territory
may be given authority, if deemed
advisable, to substitute for the
incongruous colour another that is
more suitable. However, this is not to
be done without reference to the Sacred
Congregation of Rites.
118. Concerning the colour of vestments in
low votive Masses IV class, what is laid
down in n. 323 is to be consulted.

CHAPTER 19
THE USE AND CHOICE OF
VESTMENTS
133. At Mass, the priest celebrant
always wears a chasuble (planeta seu
casula).
134. Bishops, and others who enjoy the use
of pontificals, wear the chasuble over
the dalmatic and tunicle when they cele-
brate solemnly.
Likewise, a bishop wears the chasuble
over the dalmatic and tunicle even at a
low Mass:
a) for the consecration of a bishop;
b) for the conferring of sacred orders;
c) for the blessing of an abbot;
d) for the blessing of an abbess;
e) for the blessing and consecration of
virgins;
f) for the consecration of a church or altar.
However, the bishop and others men-
tioned above may, for a reasonable
cause, dispense with the tunicle and
dalmatic under the chasuble.
135. A cope is used:
a) at the Office of Lauds and Vespers,
when they are said solemnly;
b) for blessings which take place at the
altar;
c) in processions;
d) for the absolution over a body or
catafalque;
e) by the assistant priest at a Pontifical
Mass;
f) at the 'solemn prayers' in the Liturgy of
the Passion and Death of our Lord on
Good Friday;
g) at the Easter Vigil.
136. When the celebrant is wearing a cope,
he never uses a maniple; and if no cope
is available, the priest wears an alb and
stole, without chasuble and maniple, for
blessings which are given at the altar.
137. The dalmatic and tunicle are worn by
deacon and subdeacon respectively,
when they assist the priest:
a) at Mass;
b) at blessings at the altar;
c) in processions.
However, when the priest celebrant is
not wearing a cope, the ministers do not
wear dalmatic and tunicle.
Folded chasubles and broad stoles are
no longer used.

GENERAL RUBRICS
OF THE ROMAN BREVIARY
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL RULES
138. The Canonical Hours of the Roman
Breviary are: Matins, Lauds, Prime,
Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and
Com- pline.
Of these, Matins, Lauds and Vespers
are called the Great Hours; Prime, Terce,
Sext, None and Compline are called the
Little Hours. Compline is often treated
separately by the rubrics.
139. The obligation to recite the Divine Office
includes the whole daily round of Ca-
nonical Hours.
140. The Divine Office is discharged either in
choir or in common, or alone.
It is said in choir, if it is discharged by a
community bound to choir by ecclesias-
tical law; in common, if this is done by a
community not bound to choir.
141. The rules which follow apply both to the
discharge of the Divine Office in
choir or in common (even though it is
done only by two or three individuals),
and to its discharge alone, unless the
contrary is expressly stated.

CHAPTER 2
THE TIMES FOR SAYING THE
CANONICAL HOURS
142. The Canonical Hours of the Divine Of-
fice are arranged, of their nature, to
sanctify the different hours of the natu-
ral day. Accordinly, it is conducive to
the genuine sanctification of the day
and to the recitation of the Hours with
spiritual profit, if they are discharged at
the times which closely correspond to
the true time of each of the Canonical
Hours.
143. However, to satisfy the obligation of re-
citing the Divine Office, it suffices that
all the Canonical Hours be said within
the space of twenty-four hours.
144. Matins, for a just reason, may be
anticipated in the afternoon of the
preceding day, but not before 2 PM.

145. Lauds, since they are morning prayer, are
said first thing in the morning in choir
and in common; and it is appropriate to
keep to this also in reciting them alone.
146. Vespers, even during Lent and
Passiontide, are said in the afternoon in
choir and in common; and it is appropriate
to keep to this also in reciting them
alone.
147. The most suitable time for reciting Com-
pline, by all who are bound to the recita-
tion of the Divine Office, and especially
in religious communities, is as the last
prayer at the end of the day, even when,
for a just reason, Matins of the follow-
ing day have been already anticipated.
In these circumstances, the Pater noster,
otherwise to be said after the verse
Adiutorium nostrum, is omitted and in
its place, in choir and in common, the ex-
amination of conscience is made for a
reasonable space of time; the Confiteor
and the rest are then said as usual; it is
appropriate to keep to this also when
reciting it alone.

CHAPTER 3
THE CALENDAR TO BE USED
IN RECITING THE DIVINE
OFFICE
148. The Divine Office must be discharged
according to the proper calendar, or,
when there is no proper calendar, ac-
cording to the calendar of the universal
Church, as indicated in the following
paragraphs.
149. Prebenderies are bound to follow the
calendar of their own church (n. 53 b).
150. The diocesan clergy must follow the
calendar of the church or oratory to
which they are permanently (stabiliter)
attached (n. 53 b); if they are not
permanently attached to any church or
oratory, or if they are living outside
their diocese for a long period, they
must follow the calendar of their dio-
cese, together with the local feasts of

feasts of the principal Patron of the

A - Arranging the Divine Office in General
158. The extent of the Divine Office for
each liturgical day was described above
in paragraphs 13, 27, 34, 37.
159. The quality of the Divine Office to be
recited, and the method for selecting
the individual parts of the Hours, ac-
cording to the variety of liturgical days,
will be described below nn. 165-177.
160. The order for the recitation of the indi-
vidual Hours is found in the ordinarium
of the Divine Office.
161. Matins of three nocturns, i.i., nine psalms and
nine lessons belongs to:
a) feasts I or II class;
b) ferias of the Triduum sacrum;

some reason acquire them according to
the rubrics, take everything from II
Vespers, with the exception only of
those things that may be set down as
proper to I Vespers.

B - The Sunday Office
165. A Sunday office belongs to Sundays on
which no feast occurs that may take
precedence over the Sunday itself.
However, a special arrangement of the
Office is found on:
a) Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday
b) Sunday within the octave of Christmas.
166. A Sunday office is arranged in this way:
a) At I Vespers: everything as in the

G - Some Special Matters in Arranging the
Divine Office
172. On Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday, and
on the days during their octaves, at the
Little Hours the psalms for Sunday are
said, but at Prime as on feasts, namely
psalms 53, 118 i and 118 ii.
173. During the Triduum sacrum, on the vigil of
Christmas and in Offices of the Dead, the
Office is arranged according to the
special rubrics which are found in those
places in the Breviary.
174. On feasts of the Lord II class, which fall on
Septuagesima, Sexagesima or
Quinquagesima Sunday, the antiphons
at the Little Hours are taken from
Lauds as in the festive office, but at
Prime the psalms for Sunday are re-
tained, i.e., psalm 117, 118 i & 118 ii.
175. On days within the octave of Christmas free
from feasts of Saints, the Office is ar-
ranged in this way:
a) Matins have nine psalms and three
lessons. The invitatory, hymn, antiphons
and psalms are said as on the feast of
Christmas; the verse, as in the third
nocturn of the feast; but the three les-
sons are from the Scripture occurring
with their responsories, as indicated on
each day.
General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary Xv

b) At Lauds: everything as in the feast of
Christmas.
c) At the Little Hours the antiphons and
psalms are said from the current day in
the psalter; the rest as on the feast of
Christmas.
d) At Vespers, except on 31st December,
antiphons and psalms are taken from II
Vespers of Christmas; but from the
little chapter the Office is of the octave,
as on the feast, unless it has to be of
the following Sunday or of a following
feast I class.
e) Compline of Sunday.
176. On the Sunday within the octave of Christmas,
the Office is arranged in the same way
as on other days within the octave (n.
175), while retaining whatever is proper.
Concerning the lessons at Matins, the
following are to be observed:
a) if the Sunday falls on 26th, 27th or 28th
December, the first and second lessons,
with their responsories, are taken from
the first nocturn of Christmas Day, in
the way indicated in n. 221; the third is
from the homily on the Gospel of the
day (n. 220 b);
b) if it falls on other days, the first and
second lessons are said from Scripture
occurring, and the third from the hom-
ily on the Gospel of the day, as in a
Sunday office (n. 220).
177. On feasts III class, both universal and
particular, which have for some Hours
either proper antiphons and psalms
from the Common, or proper
antiphons and psalms especially
assigned, the special rubrics which
occur in these places in the Breviary
are to be observed.

CHAPTER 5
THE PARTS OF THE OFFICE
A - The Beginning and End of the Hours
178. The Canonical Hours, whether in choir, or
in common, or alone, begin absolutely this
way:
a) Matins with the verse Domine, labia mea
aperies;
b) Lauds, the Little Hours and Vespers with the
verse Deus, in adiutorium meum in-
tende;
c) Compline with the verse Iube, domne
(Domine), benedicere.
179. Likewise, the Canonical Hours, whether
in choir, or in common, or alone conclude
this way:
a) Matins (if separated from Lauds), Lauds,
Terce, Sext, None and Vespers with the
verse Fidelium anim;
b) Compline with the blessing Benedicat et
custodiat.
180. In Offices of the Triduum sacrum and
the Dead, the Hours are begun and
concluded as indicated in the Breviary.
Likewise, Matins on the feast of the
Epiphany begins in a special way.

B - The Conclusion of the Office
181. The daily round of the Divine Office
finishes after Compline with the
antiphon of our Lady along with its
verse and prayer, and with the verse
Divinum auxilium, except in Offices of
the Trid- uum sacrum and of the Dead.

C - The Invitatory
182. The Invitatory and psalm 94, Venite, ex-
sultemus, are said at the beginning of
Matins in every Office, in the way de-
scribed in the ordinarium, except in the
Offices of the Triduum sacrum, and the
feast of the Epiphany.
183. At the end of the invitatory, during the
Season of Easter (tempus paschale), Alle-
luia is added, unless it is already there.
184. The rule for selecting the invitatory ac-
cording to the different liturgical days is
given above, where the arrangement of
the Office is treated (nn. 165-177).

D - The Hymns
185. The hymns are said at each Hour, in the
place indicated in the ordinarium. They
are omitted at Matins of the Epiphany,
from Matins on Maundy Thursday to
None on Easter Sunday, and in the
Office of the Dead.
186. At the Little Hours and at Compline,
the hymns set down in the
ordinarium for those Hours are always
said, except at Terce on the feast of
Pentecost and during the octave.
X X General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary

187. Proper hymns appointed for certain
Hours are never transferred to
another Hour.
188. Each hymn is always said with the
conclusion which it has in the Breviary.
Any change in the conclusion by reason
of the feast or season is forbidden.
189. A commemorated Office never
introduces a proper doxology at the end
of the hymns of the day's Office.

E - The Antiphons
190. Antiphons are said at all Hours before
and after the psalms and canticles, one
or several being said according to the
different offices and Hours, as indicated
in their places. But they are omitted at
the Little Hours and at Compline dur-
ing the Triduum sacrum, on Easter
Sunday and during the octave, and in
the Office of the Dead on 2nd Novem-
ber.
191. The whole antiphon is always said before
and after the psalms and canticles, at all
the Hours, Great and Little.
The asterisk, which is marked after the
first words of the antiphon, indicates
that the intonation is carried to that
point.
192. Proper antiphons assigned to certain
Hours are not tansferred, but omitted,
if they cannot be said.
193. The antiphon to the Magnificat at I Ves-
pers on the first Sunday of the months
of August, September, October and
November is that which is given in the
Breviary before the first Sunday of each
month, and which corresponds to the
book of Sacred Scripture to be read on
the Sunday.
194. At Friday Vespers during the Season of
Easter (tempus paschale), the antiphon to
the Magnificat of II Vespers of the
preceding Sunday is used as antiphon to
the Magnificat.
195. During the Season of Easter, Alleluia is
added to each antiphon, unless it is
already there. But from Septuagesima to
Holy Saturday, if Alleluia happens to
occur in the antiphon, it is omitted.

F - The Psalms and Canticles
196. The psalms at the individual Hours are
selected in keeping with the rules for
arranging the Office of the different
liturgical days (nn. 165-177).
197. For Matins of Wednesday and for Lauds
of each day of the week, a double set
of psalms is given in the psalter.
The alternate set of psalms is used:
a) on Sundays of Septuagesima, Lent and
Passiontide;
b) on all ferias of Advent, Septuagesima,
Lent, Passiontide, Ember Days in Sep-
tember, and on vigils II and III class
outside the Season of Easter.
On the other days, the first set of
psalms is used.
198. When the psalm or canticle begins with
the same words occurring in the anti-
phon, these words are omitted, and the
psalm or canticle begins from the word
before which the antiphon ended, pro-
vided that Alleluia has not to be added
to the antiphon.
199. A psalm, which cannot be said at the
Hour to which it is especially assigned,
is omitted, not transferred.
200. The canticles Benedictus, Magnificat
and Nunc dimittis are said in their
proper places, as indicated in the ordi-
narium.
201. At the end of psalms and canticles, with
the exception of the canticle Benedicite,
the Gloria Patri is said, but this is omit-
ted during the Triduum sacrum.
However, in the Office of the Dead, in
place of the verse Gloria Patri the verse
Requiem ternam is said, as indicated in
its place.
202. The asterisk in the verses of the psalms
and canticles indicates that a pause must
be made in the singing or recitation in
choir and in common.

G - The Athanasian Creed
203. The Athanasian Creed is said only on
the feast of the Blessed Trinity, at
Prime, after the psalms and before re-
peating the antiphon.

H - The Verses
204. The verses are said at Matins, after the
antiphon of the last psalm of each
nocturn has been repeated. But at
General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary XX

Lauds and Vespers the verse is said after
the hymn; at the Little Hours and at
Compline it is said after the short re-
sponsory.
205. During the Triduum sacrum, the verse is
said only in each nocturn and at
Lauds; on Easter Sunday and during the
octave in the single nocturn; in the
Office of the Dead in each nocturn, at
Lauds and Vespers, as indicated in those
places.
206. During the Season of Easter (tempus
paschale) Alleluia is added to the
verses, unless it is already there; the
verses found in the ordinarium
without Alle- luia are excepted.
207. The rule for selecting the verse, according
to the different offices and Hours, is
given above, where the arranging of the
Divine Office is treated (nn. 165-177).

I - The Absolutions and Blessings before the
Lessons
208. The absolution and blessings are said at
Matins before the lessons of each noc-
turn, as indicated in the ordinarium.
They are omitted in the Offices of the
Triduum sacrum and of the Dead.
209. For Matins of the Saturday Office of our
Lady proper absolution and blessings
are given; likewise, there are proper
blessings for the third nocturn of Mat-
ins on Christmas Day.
210. The blessings before the short lesson at
Prime and Compline are proper and
unchangeable.

L - The Lessons at Matins
I: The Lessons in General
211. Three lessons are said at the end of each
nocturn. Accordingly, offices with three
nocturns have nine lessons; and offices
with one nocturn, three.
212. The term 'Scripture occurring' means the
Scriptural lessons assigned for the first
or single nocturn, and arranged in a
definite order for the individual days in
the Proper of the Season.
213. If the lessons of the Scripture occurring
cannot be said on the appointed day,
they are omitted, even in the case of the
initia of the books, with the exception
of the initium of the first epistle to the
Corinthians, which is read on the pre-
ceding Saturday when the I Sunday after
Epiphany falls on 13th January.
214. Commemorated Offices do not have a
lesson in the Office of the day.
215. The Scriptural lessons are read with the
title of the sacred book from which
they are taken, unless the contrary is
expressly indicated; likewise, lessons
from a sermon or treatise or pontifical
document are read with the title and
name of the author; similarly, the les-
sons from the homily on the Gospel of
the Day are prefaced by the name of
the author.
216. At the end of each lesson is said Tu au-
tem, Domine, miserere nobis, to which
the reply is made Deo gratias. This
conclusion is omitted in the Offices of
the Triduum sacrum and of the Dead.

II: The Lessons of an Office of Three
Nocturns
217. The three lessons of the first nocturn are
from Scripture, and:
a) in a festive or semi-festive office, they are
proper or especially appointed or
from the Common;
b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, they
are proper.
218. The three lessons of the second nocturn
are:
a) < semi-festive or festive a>, the life of
the Saint, or from a sermon or treatise
appointed for the day, as in the Proper
or Common;
But if only one or two lessons are
proper or appointed, the third is taken
from the lessons of the Common.
b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum
from the sermon appointed for the day.
219. The three lessons of the third nocturn are:
a) in a festive or semi-festive office, from the
homily on the Gospel of the day;
b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, from
the epistles of St. Paul the Apostle, as in
the Proper.

III: The Lessons of an Office of One Nocturn
220. In a Sunday office this is the order of the
three lessons:
a) the first and second lessons are said from the
Scripture occurring, as in the Proper.
XX General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary

However, the first lesson from Sacred
Scripture is that which is now marked in
the Breviary as the first; but the second
is made up of the second and third
joined together, the intervening respon-
sory being omitted.
b) the third lesson is said from the homily of
the Gospel of the day; and the lesson
which is now set down in the Breviary
as the first of the third nocturn is used.
221. In an ordinary office, this is the order of the
three lessons:
a) the first and second lessons are said from
Scripture; and ordinarily from the Scrip-
ture occurring, unless proper or espe-
cially appointed lessons are given.
However, the first lesson from Sacred
Scripture is that which is marked in the
Breviary as the first; but the second is
made up of the second and third joined
together, the intervening responsory
being omitted.
b) the third lesson is of the feast, namely the
proper one formerly called the 'con-
tracted' lesson; in the absence of this,
the proper lessons (formerly of the
second nocturn) are said joined to-
gether. But if the feast has no proper
lessons, the fourth of the Common is
used as the third lesson.
222. In a ferial office, this is the order of the
three lessons:
a) if it is an Office of a vigil or feria with a
homily, the three lessons are said from
the homily on the Gospel of the day;
b) if it is an Office of a feria without a homily,
the three lessons of the Scripture
occurring are read, as given in the
Breviary.

IV: Some Special Matters about the Lessons
223. The lessons of the Office of the Dead
are arranged in a special way, as indi-
cated in their place.
224. During the octaves of Easter and
Pentecost the three lessons are said
from the homily on the Gospel of the
day.
225. The lessons assigned to the Sundays and
weekdays after the Epiphany which
cannot be placed, because of occur-
rence of Septuagesima Sunday, are
omitted completely in that year. The
same applies to the lessons of the Sun-
days after Pentecost, and the lessons for
the weekdays after them, which are
impeded by the occurrence of the first
Sunday of August; also the lessons of
the months of August, September,
October and November, which are
impeded by the occurrence of the first
Sunday of the following month or the
first Sunday of Advent, are omitted.

M - The Responsories after the Lessons at
Matins
I: The Responsories in General
226. A responsory is said after each lesson,
except after the last when the hymn Te
Deum must be said.
227. Responsories are so linked to the
lessons, that they must be selected by
the same rule as the lessons, unless the
contrary is expressly stated.
228. Responsories which cannot be said on
their own day are omitted, not trans-
ferred.
229. During the Season of Easter (tempus pas-
chale), Alleluia is added to the end of
each responsory, before the verse,
unless it is already there; Alleluia is
never added after the verse.
230. At the end of the last responsory of
each nocturn, after the last part of the
responsory has been repeated, the Glo-
ria Patri is said, and then the last part of
the responsory is repeated, unless the
contrary is noted.
However, in the Office of Passiontide,
the Gloria Patri is omitted in the last
responsory of each nocturn, and in
place of it the whole responsory is
repeated from the beginning to the
verse exclusive.
In the Office of the Dead, the Requiem
ternam is said in place of the Gloria
Patri, in the last responsory of each
nocturn.
231. The peculiarities that may occur in say-
ing the responsories are indicated in
their places.
General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary XX

II: The Responsories in Offices of Three Noc-
turns
232. The responsories of three nocturns are ar-
ranged by this rule:
a) in a festive and semi-festive office, they are
proper or from the Common;
b) in the Offices of the Triduum sacrum, they
are proper.

III: The Responsories in Offices of One
Nocturn
233. In a Sunday office, the responsories are ar-
ranged in this way:
a) the first is the responsory placed after
the first lesson;
b) the second is the responsory formerly
found after the third lesson. At the end
of this responsory the Gloria Patri and
the repetition of the last part of the
responsory are omitted, if a third
responsory must be said;
c) the third, when it has to be said, is the
responsory which was placed after the
third lesson of the homily.
234. In an ordinary office with lessons from the
Scripture occurring, the responsories
are arranged this way:
a) the first is the responsory which is
placed after the first lesson;
b) the second is the responsory which is
found after the third lesson.
235. In an ordinary office with proper or
especially appointed lessons from Scrip-
ture, the responsories are proper or
from the Common, in the same order
as above (n. 234).
236. In a ferial office, either of a feria or a vigil,
the responsories of the current weekday
are said, as found in the Proper of the
Season.

N - The Hymn Te Deum
237. The hymn Te Deum is said at Matins, af-
ter the last lesson, in place of the ninth
or third responsory:
a) on Low Sunday, on Whit Sunday, and at
Matins on Easter Sunday when recited
by those who were not present at the
Easter Vigil;
b) on Sundays II class, except Septua-
gesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquage-
sima Sundays;
c) on all feasts;
d) during the octaves of Christmas, Easter
and Pentecost;
e) in a ferial office of the Seasons of
Christmas and Easter;
f) on the vigils of the Ascension and
Pentecost;
g) in the Saturday Office of our Lady.
238. The hymn Te Deum is omitted:
a) in offices of the season from I Sunday
of Advent to the vigil of Christmas
inclusive, and from Septuagesima Sunda
to Holy Saturday inclusive;
b) on vigils II and III class, except the vigil
of our Lord's Ascension;
c) on all ferias 'per annum';
d) in the Office of the Dead.
239. When the hymn Te Deum is omitted,
the ninth or third responsory is said in
place of it.

O - The Little Chapters and the Short Lesson
at Prime
240. The little chapter is said at all the Hours,
except Matins, after the psalms
and their antiphons; but at Compline
after the hymn. It is omitted from
Lauds on Maundy Thursday to None
on Easter Saturday, and in the Office of
the Dead.
241. At Prime the little chapter is always Regi
sculorum; and at Compline Tu autem
in nobis. At the other Hours it is taken
from the Ordinarium, or psalter, or
Proper, or Common, according to the
different offices (nn. 165-177).
242. The short lesson at Prime is always said
according to the season, as in the ordi-
narium.

P - The Short Responsories at the Little
Hours
243. The short responsories are said at the
Little Hours and at Compline after the
little chapter; but they are omitted from
Maundy Thursday to None of Easter
Saturday, and in the Office of the Dead.
244. At Prime, in the responsory Christe, Fili
Dei vivi, the verse Qui sedes is changed
in those Offices and seasons of the year
for which a proper verse is assigned;
however, the proper verse of a com-
memorated feast is never said.
The short responsory of Compline is
never changed. at Terce, Sext and None
XX General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary

the short responsories are taken from
the same place as the little chapters.
245. The manner in which the short
responsories must be said, either during
or outside the Season of Easter (tempus
paschale), or in a ferial office in Passion-
tide, is indicated in the ordinarium.
Outside the Season of Easter, even
though on some feasts a double Alleluia
must be added at the end of the short
responsory, before the verse, at Terce,
Sext and None, it is not to be likewise
added at Prime and Compline.

Q - The Prayers
246. The prayer is said at the end of each
Hour, at the place indicated in the ordi-
narium. Matins are excepted, when they
are recited together with Lauds.
247. The prayer is preceded, in choir or in com-
mon, by Dominus vobiscum to which
is replied Et cum spiritu tuo. When
the Office is recited alone, and by those
who are not ordained deacons,
Domine, exaudi orationem meam, the
reply Et clamor meus ad te veniat is
said, unless
they have been said already. Oremus is
then said, and the prayer is added.
Hence in reciting the Office alone,
Domine, exaudi orationem meam is
always said instead of Dominus vobis-
cum, as above.
248. At Prime and Compline, the prayer is
never changed, except in the Office of
All Souls' Day, and during the Triduum
sacrum at Prime. At the other Hours,
the prayer given at Lauds is used; how-
ever, there is a proper prayer at Vespers
on the ferias of Lent and Passiontide.
249. The prayer of the Office of the day is
always said with its own conclusion,
with due respect for the prescriptions
of n. 110 a. But the prayers, which
belong to commemorations, are
concluded with the last one only;
nevertheless, Oremus is said before
each prayer.

R - Commemorations
250. Commemorations are made in
accordance with the rules given in the
general rubrics, nn. 106-114.
251. Commemorations are placed after the
prayer of the Office of the day; and
they are made by using the antiphon
which is given for the Benedictus and
Magnificat respectively in the
commemorated Office, the verse which
precedes it and the prayer, with due
respect for the prescription of n. 110 c.
252. To commemorate the Office of a
Sunday, a feria and the vigil of the As-
cension, the antiphon and verse are
taken from the Proper of the Season,
the psalter or the ordinarium, but the
prayer from the Proper of the Season.
To commemorate the octave of Christ-
mas or the Office of Saints, the anti-
phon, verse and prayer are taken from
the Proper or Common. Lastly, to com-
memorate a vigil II and III class, the
antiphon and verse are taken from the
psalter, but the prayer from the Proper.
253. In making commemorations, the
following are to be observed:
a) the same antiphon is never repeated
twice in the same Hour;
b) the same words are never used for
antiphon and verse in the same com-
memoration.
254. If only one commemoration must be
made at Lauds, and the antiphon
and verse must be taken from the
same Common used for the Office of
the day, for the commemoration the
antiphon and verse are taken from I
Ves- pers.
255. If two commemorations must be made
at Lauds, and the antiphon and
verse must be taken from the same
Common:
a) for the first commemoration, the
antiphon and verse are taken from
Lauds;
b) for the second, the antiphon and verse
are from I Vespers.
256. If two commemorations must be made
at Lauds, and the antiphon and
verse must be taken from the same
Common used for the Office of the
day:
a) for the first commemoration, the
antiphon and verse are taken from I
Vespers;
b) for the second, the antiphon and verse
are from II Vespers.
257. Concerning the rules of nn. 253-256, it is
to be noted:
General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary XX v

a) if the antiphon is the same at I and II
Vespers, for the second commemora-
tion the antiphon is taken from Lauds,
or as a last resort the first antiphon of
the third nocturn;
b) at the same Hour, the text of the
antiphon can be used as the verse for
another commemoration to be taken
from the same Common;
c) the antiphon Euge, serve bone, given at
Lauds in the Common of a Confessor
Bishop, is considered to be identical
with the like antiphon given at Lauds in
the Common of a Confessor not a
Bishop.
258. Likewise, if the prayer of the feast of
which the Office is being celebrated is
the same as that of a commemoration,
the prayer of the commemorations is
changed for another of the same or
similar Common.
259. Proper antiphons and verses, which can-
not be used as a commemoration at
a particular Hour, are omitted, not
transferred.

S - The Preces
260. Preces are said only in offices of the sea-
son, and:
a) at Lauds and Vespers of Wednesday and
Friday of Advent, Lent and Passiontide;
b) at Lauds and Vespers of Ember
Wednesday and Friday in September;
c) at Lauds on Ember Saturdays, except
Saturday within the octave of Pente-
cost.

STANDING, KNEELING AND
SITTING DURING THE
RECITATION OF THE DIVINE
OFFICE
261. What is said here of making the sign of
the cross, and of bodily posture during
the recitation of the Divine
Office applies to the recitation in choir
and in common; but it is fitting that
those who recite the Divine Office
alone should conform to the rules for
the making of the sign of the cross.
262. The special rules which concern the
hebdomadarius and chanters are found
in books on ceremonies; accordingly,
only those things which apply generally
to the 'choir' are noted here.
263. All make the sign of the cross from the
forehead to the breast, and from the left
to the right shoulder:
a) at the beginning of all the Hours, when
Deus, in adiutorium is said;
b) at the verse Adiutorium nostrum;
c) at the absolution Indulgentiam after the
Confiteor at Compline;
d) at the beginning of the canticles
Benedictus, Magnificat and Nunc dimit-
tis;
e) at the blessing at the end of Prime and
Compline;
f) at the verse Divinum auxilium, at the
end of the Divine Office.
264. The sign of the cross is made on the
lips at the beginning of Matins, at the
words Domine, labia mea aperies.
265. The sign of the cross is made on the
breast at the words Converte nos at
Compline.
266. All stand:
a) at the beginning of each Hour, until the
first verse of the first psalm has been
begun;
b) while the hymns and gospel canticles are
being said;
c) also at Matins at the invitatory with its
psalms, and from the end of the last
antiphon of each nocturn to the first
blessing before the lessons inclusive;
and while the text of the Gospel is
being read before the homily;
d) at Lauds and Vespers from after the
antiphon following the last psalm to the
end, unless it is necessary to kneel for
the preces or the prayer, according to the
rubrics;
e) at Prime, from after the antiphon to the
end, except for the reading of the
Martyrology, unless it is necessary to
kneel for the prayers;
f) at Terce, Sext and None, from after the
antiphon to the end, unless it is neces-
sary to kneel for the prayer;
g) at Compline, from after the antiphon
following the psalms to the end, unless
it is necessary to kneel for prayer;
XXv General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary

h) at the intonation of the antiphons in
sung Matins, Lauds and Vespers, ac-
cording to custom;
i) at the final antiphon of our Lady after
Compline, on Saturday and Sunday,
even if the Office has not been of the
Sunday, and throughout the Season of
Easter.
267. All kneel:
a) at the words Venite, adoremus et
procidamus, etc., in the psalm Venite,
exsultemus, at the beginning of Matins;
b) at the verse Te ergo quxsumus in the
hymn Te Deum;
c) at the preces, when they must be said;
d) in a ferial office during Advent, Lent and
Passiontide, also on Ember Days of
September, and on vigils II and III
class, except the vigil of the Ascension,
at all the Hours for the prayer and the
commemorations that may follow; how-
ever, the hebdomadarius stands;
e) for the final antiphon of our Lady, after
Compline, except on Saturday and Sun-
day and throughout the Season of
Easter; however, the hebdomadarius
stands while saying the prayer;
f) in certain other special circumstances, as
noted in their place.
268. All sit:
a) at every Hour, after the first verse of the
initial psalm has been commenced until
the antiphon of the last psalm has been
repeated;
b) for the lessons with their responsories at
Matins, except while the text of the
Gospel is being read before the homily;
c) while the Martyrology is being read at
Prime, unless otherwise noted.

NOTES FOR THE TABLES OF
OCCURENCE AND CONCURRENCE

1. A 1
st
or 2
nd
class feast of the Lord occurring on a Sunday takes the
place of that Sunday with all rights and privileges; hence there is no
commemoration of that Sunday.

2. If two feasts of the same Divine Person or two feasts of the same Saint
or Blessed occur together, the Office is of the feast holding the higher
place in the table of precedence, and the other is omitted.

3. If a 1
st
or 2
nd
class feast of the Lord concurs with any Sunday, or vice
versa, the Vespers are ordered according to the table of concurrence, but
there is never a commemoration of the concurring Sunday in the Vespers
of the feast of the Lord, nor vice versa.

Brethren, it is now the hour for us to rise

than when we believed.
Hymn
Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people's everlasting light,
Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
And hear thy servants when they call.
Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death an universe,
Hast found the medicine, full of grace,
To save and heal a ruined race.
Thou camest, the Bridegroom of the Bride,
As drew the world to evening tide,
Proceeding from a virgin shrine,
The spotless Victim all divine.
At whose dread Name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
And things celestial thee shall own
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.
O thou whose coming is with dread,
To judge and doom the quick and dead,
Preserve us, while we dwell below,
From every insult of the foe.
All praise, eternal Son, to thee
Whose Advent doth thy people free;
Whom with the Father we adore,

Hymn
A thrilling voice by Jordan rings,
Rebuking guilt and darksome things:
Vain dreams of sin and visions fly;
Christ in his might shines forth on high.
Now let each torpid soul arise,
That sunk in guilt and wounded lies;
See! the new Star's refulgent ray
Shall chase disease and sin away.
The Lamb descends from heaven above
To pardon sin with freest love:
For such indulgent mercy shewn
With tearful joy our thanks we own:
That when again he shines revealed,
And trembling worlds to terror yield,

Who feedeth even each fowl of air.

Psalm 110
I will give thanks unto the Lord with my
whole heart, * in the assembly of the
righteous, and in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great, * meet to
serve for the doing of his will.
His work is worthy to be praised and had in
honour, * and his righteousness
endureth for ever.
He hath made a memorial of his marvellous
works; the Lord is merciful and
gracious: * he hath given meat unto
them that fear him.
He shall ever be mindful of his covenant: *
he will shew his people the power of his
works.
That he may give them the heritage of the
heathen: * the works of his hands are
verity and judgment.
All his commandments are true; they stand
fast for ever and ever: * and are done in
truth and equity.
He sent redemption unto his people; * he
hath commanded his covenant for ever.

Holy and terrible is his Name: * the fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
A good understanding have all they that do
thereafter; * his praise endureth for ever.

Psalm 111
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord; *
he hath great delight in his
commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth; * the
generation of the righteous shall be
blessed.
Glory and riches shall be in his house; *
and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the
darkness; * he is merciful, loving, and
righteous.
Happy is the man that sheweth mercy, and
lendeth; he will guide his words with
discretion: * for he shall never be
moved.
The righteous shall be had in everlasting
remembrance: * he shall not be afraid of
any evil tidings.
His heart is ready, trusting in the Lord, his
heart is established, * he shall not be
afraid until he see his desire upon his
enemies.
He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the
poor, and his righteousness remaineth
for ever; * his horn shall be exalted with
honour.
The ungodly shall see it, and be grieved; he
shall gnash with his teeth, and consume
away; * the desire of the ungodly shall
perish.

O Lord, remember David, * and all his
meekness:
How he sware unto the Lord, * and vowed
a vow unto the God of Jacob:
I will not come within the tabernacle of
mine house, * nor go up into the bed
wherein I lie;
I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, * nor
mine eyelids to slumber;
Neither the temples of my head to take any
rest: * until I find out a place for the
Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah, * and found
it in the fields of the wood.
We will go into his tabernacle, * and
worship in the place where his feet
stood.
Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place; *
thou, and the ark which thou hast
sanctified.
Let thy priests be clothed with
righteousness; * and let thy saints
rejoice.
For the sake of thy servant David, * turn
not away the face of thine anointed.
The Lord hath made a faithful oath unto
David, and he shall not make it void: *
of the fruit of thy womb shall I set upon
thy throne.
If thy children will keep my covenant, * and
my testimonies that I shall teach them.

The fleeting joys of earth disdain'd,

In many a fight he play'd the man;
For thee his blood he dar'd to pour,
And thence hath joy for evermore.

Regard us from thy throne above;

Jesu, the very thought is sweet;
In that dear Name all heart-joys meet:
But sweeter than the honey far
The glimpses of his presence are.
No word is sung more sweet than this,
No name is heard more full of bliss,
No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh
Than Jesus, Son of God Most High.
Jesu! the hope of souls forlorn,
How good to them for sin that mourn!
To them that seek thee, O how kind!
But what art thou to them that find?
No tongue of mortal can express,
No letters write its blessedness:
Alone who hath thee in his heart
Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art.
Be thou our joy, and thou our guard
Who art to be our great reward:
Our glory and our boast in thee
For ever and for ever be. Amen.

Hymn
Jesu, the very thought is sweet;
In that dear Name all heart-joys meet:
But sweeter than the honey far
The glimpses of his presence are.
No word is sung more sweet than this,
No name is heard more full of bliss,
No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh
Than Jesus, Son of God Most High.
Jesu! the hope of souls forlorn,
How good to them for sin that mourn!
To them that seek thee, O how kind!
But what art thou to them that find?
No tongue of mortal can express,
No letters write its blessedness:
Alone who hath thee in his heart
Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art.
Be thou our joy, and thou our guard
Who art to be our great reward:
Our glory and our boast in thee
For ever and for ever be. Amen.

V. Blessed be the name of the Lord, alle-
luia. R. Henceforth, now, and for ever,

Thou shalt call * his name Jesus: for he

Why, impious Herod, vainly fear
That Christ our Saviour cometh here?
He takes not earthly realms away
Who gives the crown that lasts for aye.
To greet his birth the Wise Men went,
Led by the star before them sent;
Called on by light, towards Light they
pressed,
And by their gifts their God confessed.

The heavenly Lamb vouchsafed to lave;

None, Bethlehem, can equal thee;
Salvation's King from heaven's dread
throne,
Was born in flesh in thee alone.
A star, whose fairness and whose light
Exceeds the sun's own radiance bright,
Hath come, to all the lands to tell
That God in flesh on earth doth dwell.
Right soon the Magi see his face,
And eastern gifts before him place,
And bending low, their prayer unfold
With incense, myrrh, and royal gold.
The fragrant incense which they bring
Shews him as God; and gold as King;
The bitter spicy dust of myrrh
Foreshadows his new sepulchre.

V. Adore God, alleluia. R. All ye his angels,
alleluia.
This day * is the Church united to the heav-
enly Spouse, for Christ, in the Jordan,

The blessed light of Saints above,
Sweet hope of mortals here below,
Art thou, O Jesu, who the love
Of human home and hearth didst know.
O Mary, thou art full of grace,
Who Jesus nursed at thy breast,
And kissed his blessed, laughing face
Whilst in thine arms he took his rest.
O Joseph, thou of all our race
Elected wast to guard the fame
Of Mary, Virgin full of grace,
And give her Son a father's name.
O Mary! Joseph! holy twain
From Jesse's root and David's seed,
Who ushered in salvation's reign,
Help all who at Christ's altars plead.
The sun declineth towards the west,
And dusk of night is drawing near,
O take to God the heart's behest
Of each and all who linger here.
Sweet home of Nazareth, in thee
All grace and virtue can we see;
Lord, grant each Christian home to be,
Like thine, a holy family.
Praise God, who served, whilst here on

Whom with the Father, we adore,

For love of Jesus made these twain

Whereby a great reward they gain,
Eternal love from him, their Son.

In holy charity increase;

And keep them all in God's sweet peace.

Hymn
Maker of all, eternal King,
Who day and night about dost bring,
Thou, weary mortals to relieve,
Dost in their turn the seasons give.
Lo! chanticleer proclaims each day,
And calls the sun's awakening ray
To be the pilgrim's guiding light,
And mark the watches night by night.
Roused at the note, the morning star
Heaven's dusky veil uplifts afar;
Night's vagrant bands no longer roam,
But from their dark ways hie them home.
Encouraged sailors then no more
Do fear the raging billow's roar;
Lo! e'en the very Church's Rock
Melts at the crowing of the cock.
So daily let us ardent rise;
The cock rebukes men's slumbering eyes,
Bestirs who still in sleep would lie,
And shames who would their Lord deny.
New hope his clarion note awakes,
Sickness the feeble frame forsakes,
The robber sheathes his lawless sword,
Faith to the fallen is restored.
Look on us, Jesu, when we fall,
And with the look our souls recall;
If thou but look, our sins are gone,
And with due tears our pardon won.
Shed through our hearts thy piercing ray,
Our souls' dull slumber drive away;
Thy Name be first on every tongue,
To thee our earliest praise be sung.
To God the Father, glory be,
And to his sole-begotten Son,
Glory, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
While everlasting ages run. Amen.

Ant. I Thou shalt be justified, O Lord, * in
thy words, and shalt overcome when thou
art judged.
Psalm 50
Have mercy upon me, O God, * according
to thy great mercy.
And according to the multitude of thy
tender mercies: * blot out my iniquity.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity: * and
cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my iniquity: * and my
sin is always before me.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done
evil in thy sight: * that thou mayest be
justified in thy words, and mayest
overcome when thou art judged.
For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, *
and in sins did my mother conceive me.
For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the
secret and hidden things of thy wisdom
thou hast made manifest unto me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop and I
shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me,
and I shall be made whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me hear of joy and
gladness: * and the bones that were
humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away thy face from my sins: * and
blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God: * and
renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy face: * and take
not thy holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: *
and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the
wicked shall be converted unto thee.
Deliver me from sins of blood, O God,
thou God of my salvation: * and my
tongue shall extol thy justice.

Dmine, lbia mea apries: * et os meum
annuntibit laudem tuam.
Quniam si volusses sacrifcium dedssem
tique: * holocustis non delectberis.

Sacrifcium Deo spritus contribultus: *

Bengne fac, Dmine, in bona voluntte tua
Sion: * ut dificntur muri Iersalem.

Tunc acceptbis sacrifcium iustti,
oblatines, et holocusta: * tunc
impnent super altre tuum vtulos.
Et non dicitur Glria Patri.
Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: * and my
mouth shall declare thy praise.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would
surely have given it: * with burnt-
offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit: * a
contrite and humble heart, O God, thou
dost not despise.
Deal favorably, O Lord, in thy good will
with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem
may be built up.
Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of
justice, oblations and whole-burnt
offerings: * then shall they lay calves
upon thine altar.
And Glory be to the Father is not said.

O Lord, thou hast been our refuge: * from
generation to generation.
Before the mountains were made, or the
earth and the world were formed: *
from everlasting and to everlasting thou
art God.
Turn not man away to be brought low: *
thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons
of men.
For a thousand years in thy sight * are but
as yesterday, which is past.
And as a watch in the night: * as things are
counted as nought, so shall their years
be.
In the morning man shall grow up like
grass; in the morning he shall flourish
and pass away: * in the evening he shall
fall, grow dry, and wither.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: *
and are troubled in thine indignation.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thine
eyes: * our life in the light of thy
countenance.
For all our days are spent: * and in thy
wrath we have fainted away.
Our years shall be considered as a spider: *
the days of our years are threescore and

For humiliation is come upon us, * and

Who knoweth the power of thine anger, *

learned in heart in wisdom.
Return, O Lord, how long? * and be

We are filled in the morning with thy
mercy: * and we have rejoiced, and are
delighted all our days.
We have rejoiced for the days in which
thou hast humbled us: * for the years in
which we have seen evils.
Look upon thy servants and upon thy
works: * and direct their children.
And let the brightness of the Lord our God
be upon us: and direct thou the works
of our hands over us; * yea, the work of
our hands do thou direct.

Hmines, et iumnta salvbis, Dmine: *
quemdmodum multiplicsti
misericrdiam tuam, Deus,
Psalm 35
The unjust hath said within himself, that he
would sin: * there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
For in his sight he hath done deceitfully: *
that his iniquity may be found unto
hatred.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and
guile: * he would not understand that he
might do well.
He hath devised iniquity on his bed: * he
hath set himself on every way that is not
good; but evil he hath not hated.
O Lord, thy mercy is in the heavens: * and
thy truth reacheth even unto the clouds.
Thy justice is as the mountains of God: *
thy judgments are a great deep.
Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
* O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy,
O God!

Non vniat mihi pes suprbi: * et manus

Ibi cecidrunt qui operntur iniquittem: *
explsi sunt, nec poturunt stare.
But the children of men * shall put their
trust: under the covert of thy wings.
They shall be inebriated with the
plenteousness of thy house: * and thou
shalt make them drink of the torrent of
thy pleasure.
For with thee is the well of life: * and in thy
light shall we see light.
Stretch forth thy mercy unto them that
know thee: * and thy justice unto them
that are right of heart.
Let not the foot of pride come unto me: *
and let not the hand of the sinner move
me.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: *
they are cast out, and they could not

Fortitdo mea, et laus mea Dminus, * et
factus est mihi in saltem.
Iste Deus meus, et glorificbo eum: * Deus

Dminus quasi vir pugntor, Omnpotens
nomen eius. * Currus Pharanis et
exrcitum eius proicit in mare.
Elcti prncipes eius submrsi sunt in mari
Rubro: * abyssi operurunt eos,

Dxtera tua, Dmine, magnificta est in
fortitdine: dxtera tua, Dmine,
percssit inimcum. * Et in multitdine
glri tu deposusti adversrios meos.

Missti iram tuam, qu devorvit eos sicut
stpulam. * Et in spritu furris tui

Stetit unda fluens, * congregt sunt abyssi

Canticle of Moses
Exod. 15: 1-18
Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously
magnified, * the horse and the rider he
hath thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and my praise, *
and he is become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will glorify him: * the
God of my father, and I will exalt him.
The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is
his name. * Pharao's chariots and his
army he hath cast into the sea:
His chosen captains are drowned in the
Red Sea: * the depths have covered
them, they are sunk to the bottom like a
stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in
strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath
slain the enemy. * And in the multitude
of thy glory thou hast put down thy
adversaries.
Thou hast sent thy wrath, which hat
devoured them like stubble. * And with
the blast of thy anger the waters were
gathered together.
The flowing water stood, * the depths were
gathered together in the midst of the
sea.

Dixit inimcus: Prsequar et

Quis smilis tui in frtibus, Dmine? * quis

Extendsti manum tuam, et devorvit eos
terra. * Dux fusti in misericrdia tua
ppulo quem redemsti:

Et portsti eum in fortitdine tua, * ad

Ascendrunt ppuli, et irti sunt: * dolres
obtinurunt habitatres Philsthiim.

Tunc conturbti sunt prncipes Edom,
robstos Moab obtnuit tremor: *
obrigurunt omnes habitatres
Chnaan.
Irruat super eos formdo et pavor, * in
magnitdine brchii tui:
Fiant immbiles quasi lapis, donec
pertrnseat ppulus tuus, Dmine, *
donec pertrnseat ppulus tuus iste,
quem possedsti.
Introdces eos, et plantbis in monte
heredittis tu, * firmssimo habitculo
tuo quod opertus es, Dmine.

Sancturium tuum, Dmine, quod
firmavrunt manus tu. * Dminus
regnbit in trnum et ultra.
Ingrssus est enim eques Phrao cum
crribus et equtibus eius in mare: * et
redxit super eos Dminus aquas maris:

Flii autem Isral ambulavrunt per siccum
* in mdio eius.
Et non dicitur Glria Patri
The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake,
* I will divide the spoils, my soul shall
have its fill.
I will draw my sword, * my hand shall slay
them.
Thy wind blew, and the sea covered them:
* they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like to thee among the strong, O
Lord? * who is like to thee, glorious in
holiness, terrible and praiseworthy,
doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the
earth swallowed them. * In thy mercy
thou hast been a leader to the people
which thou hast redeemed:
And in thy strength thou hast carried them
* to thy holy habitation.
Nations rose up and were angry: * sorrows
took hold on the inhabitants of the
Philisthiim.
Then were the princes of Edom troubled,
trembling seized on the stout men of
Moab: * all the inhabitants of Chanaan
became stiff.
Let fear and dread fall upon them: * in the
greatness of thy arm:
Let them become unmovable as a stone,
until thy people, O Lord, pass by: * until
this thy people pass by, which thou hast
possessed.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in
the mountain of thy inheritance, * in thy
most firm habitation which thou hast
made, O Lord.
Thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands
have established: * the Lord shall reign
for ever and ever.
For Pharao went in on horseback with his
chariots and horsemen into the sea: *
and the Lord brought back upon them
the waters of the sea:
But the children of Israel walked on dry
ground * in the midst thereof.

Ant. IV Exhorttus es in virtte tua, et in
refectine sancta tua, Dmine.
Ant. V Obltus est * quia ipse vluit, et

Psalm 146
Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing
praises: * let the praise of our God be
joyful and comely.
The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: * he will
gather together the dispersed of Israel.
Who healeth the broken of heart: * and
bindeth up their bruises.
Who telleth the number of the stars: * and
calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: *
and of his wisdom there is no measure.

The Lord lifteth up the meek: * and
bringeth the wicked down even to the
ground.
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: * sing unto
our God upon the harp.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds: *
and prepareth rain for the earth.
Who maketh grass to grow on the
mountains: * and herbs for the service
of men.
Who giveth to beasts their food: * and to
the young ravens that call upon him.
He shall not delight in the strength of the
horse: * nor take pleasure in the legs of
a man.
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear
him: * and in them that hope in his
mercy.

Dum dicitur canticum Benedctus,

Repetita antiphona ad Benedctus,
dicitur flexis genibus:

Ant. Christus factus est pro nobis obdiens
usque ad mortem.
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy
Prophets * who are from the beginning.
Salvation from our enemies, * and from the
hand of all that hate us.
To perform mercy to our Fathers, * and to
remember his holy testament.

The oath which he swore to Abraham, our
Father; * that he would grant to us.
That being delivered from the hand of our
enemies, * we may serve him without
fear.
In holiness and justice before him * all our
days.
And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet
of the Most High: * for thou shalt go
before the face of the Lord to prepare
his ways:
To give to his people the knowledge of
salvation: * unto the remission of their
sins:
Through the bowels of the mercy of our
God, * in which the Orient from on
high hath visited us:
To enlighten them that sit in darkness and
in the shadow of death; * to direct our
feet into the way of peace
Ant. The traitor gave them a sign, saying:
Whomsoever i shall kiss, that same is he;
hold him fast.

While the canticle Benedctus is
being sung, the six candles which have
been lighted on the altar from the
beginning of Matins are put out one by
one, so that at the last verse of the
canticle the last candle is extinguished.

Similarly the lamps and other lights
of the church are extinguished.

The antiphon at the Benedctus hav-
ing been repeated, then is said kneel-
ing:
Ant. Christ became for our sake obedient
unto death.

Psalm 4
He hath heard me when I call, the God of
my righteousness: * thou hast set me at
liberty when I was in trouble.
Have mercy upon me, * and hearken unto
my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye be dull
of heart? * and have such pleasure in
vanity, and seek after leasing?
Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen
to himself the man that is godly; * when
I call upon the Lord he will hear me.
Be ye angry, and sin not; * the things that
ye say in your hearts, repent ye them
upon your beds.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and
put your trust in the Lord, * there be
many that say, who will shew us any
good?
The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is
sealed upon us, * thou hast put gladness
in my heart.
By the fruit of their corn and wine and oil *
have they been multiplied.
I will lay me down in peace, * and take my

For it is thou, Lord, only, * that makest me
dwell in safety.

Psalm 90
He that dwelleth under the defence of the

shadow of the God of heaven.
He shall say unto the Lord, Thou art my

For he hath delivered me from the snare of

pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his wings, * and
thou shalt be safe under his feathers
His truth shall be thy shield to compass

noon-day.
A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten
thousand at thy right hand; * but it shall
not come nigh thee.
Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, *
and see the reward of the ungodly.
For thou, Lord, art my hope; * thou hast
set thine house of defence on the Most
High.
There shall no evil happen unto thee, *
neither shall any plague come nigh thy
dwelling.
For he hath given his angels charge over
thee, * to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee in their hands, * that
thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt go upon the adder and basilisk:
* the lion and the dragon shalt thou
tread under thy feet.
Because he hath set his hope upon me,
therefore will I deliver him; * I will
defend him, because he hath known my
Name.
He shall call upon me, and I will hear him;
* yea, I am with him in trouble; I will
deliver him, and bring him to honour.
With long life will I satisfy him, * and shew
him my salvation.

Psalm 133
Behold now, bless the Lord, * all ye
servants of the Lord;
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, *
even in the courts of the house of our
God.
Lift up your hands by night in the
sanctuary, * and bless ye the Lord.
The Lord that made heaven and earth *
give thee blessing out of Sion.

After the psalms, immediately add:
Canticle of Simeon

Because my eyes have seen * thy salvation.

A light to the revelation of the gentiles, *

Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath

Turn not away thy face from me: * lest I be

Make me to hear thy mercy in the morning:

Make me to know the way wherein I

Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord,
unto thee have I fled: * teach me to do

Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right
land: * for thy name's sake, O Lord,

Thou shalt bring my soul out of trouble: *

mine enemies.
And thou shalt destroy all them that afflict

Behold in peace is my bitterness most
bitter.
But thou hast delivered my soul that it

my sins behind my back.
For hell shall not confess to thee, neither

Ad Laudes

Hail, thou who man's Redeemer art,
Jesu, the joy of every heart;
Great maker of the world's wide frame,
And purest love's delight and flame:
What nameless mercy thee o'ercame,
To bear our load of sin and shame?
For guiltless, thou thy life didst give,
That sinful erring man might live.
The realms of woe are forced by thee,
Its captives from their chains set free;
And thou, amid thy ransomed train,
At God's right hand dost victor reign.
Let mercy sweet with thee prevail,
To cure the wounds we now bewail;
Oh, bless us with thy holy sight,
And fill us with eternal light.
Our guide, our way to heavenly rest,
Be thou the aim of every breast;
Be thou the soother of our tears,
Our sweet reward above the spheres.
Amen.

To thee, the Gift of God most high,
The Fount of life, the Fire of love,
The soul's Anointing from above.
The sevenfold gifts of grace are thine,
O Finger of the Hand Divine;
True Promise of the Father thou,
Who dost the tongue with speech endow.
Thy light to every sense impart,
And shed thy love in every heart;
Thine own unfailing might supply
To strengthen our infirmity.
Drive far away our ghostly foe,
And thine abiding peace bestow;
If thou be our preventing Guide,
No evil can our steps betide.
Make thou to us the Father known,
Teach us the eternal Son to own,
Be this our never changing creed,
That thou dost from them both proceed.
All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
From death to endless life restored;

Blest joys for mighty wonders wrought
The year's revolving orb hath brought,
What time the Holy Ghost in flame
Upon the Lord's disciples came.
The quivering fire, their heads bedewed
In cloven tongues' similitude,
That eloquent their words might be,
And fervid all their charity.
In varying tongues the Lord they praised,
The gathering people stood amazed;
And whom the Comforter divine
Inspired, they mocked as full of wine.
These things were done in type today,
When Eastertide had worn away,

Regard us, as we humbly pray,
And send us from thy heavenly seat
The blessings of the Paraclete.

Didst bid indwelling grace to rest:
This day our sins, we pray, release,
And in our time, O Lord, give peace.
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, praise be done;
And Christ the Lord upon us pour

Hymn
O Trinity of blessed light,
O Unity of princely might,
The fiery sun now goes his way,
Shed thou within our hearts thy ray.
To thee our morning song of praise,
To thee our evening prayer we raise;
Thy glory suppliant we adore,
For ever and for evermore.
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.

V. Let us bless the Father and the Son with
the Holy Ghost. R. Let us praise and exalt
him above all for ever.
Thanks * be unto thee, O God, thanks be
unto thee, O true and one Trinity, only and
supreme Deity, holy and one Unity.
Prayer (Collect)
O almighty and everlasting God, who hast
granted to thy servants, in the confession
of the truth faith, to acknowledge the glory
of an eternal Trinity, and in the power of
majesty to adore an Unity, grant that by
steadfastness in the same faith we may ever
be defended from all adversity. Through
our Lord.

Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.

Shews him as God; and gold as King;
The bitter spicy dust of myrrh
Foreshadows his new sepulchre.

Hymn
Thirty years among us dwelling,
His appointed time fulfilled,
Born for this, he meets his Passion,
For that this he freely willed :
On the Cross the Lamb is lifted,
Where his life-Blood shall be spilled.
He endured the nails, the spitting,
Vinegar, and spear, and reed :
From that holy Body broken
Blood and Water forth proceed :
Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean,
By that flood from stain are freed.
Faithful Cross! above all other,
One and only noble Tree;
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be :
Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron,
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
Bend thy boughs, O Tree of glory,
Thy relaxing sinews bend :
For awhile the ancient rigour
That thy birth bestowed, suspend :
And the King of heavenly beauty
On thy bosom gently tend.
Thou alone wast counted worthy
This world's ransom to sustain,
That a shipwrecked race for ever
Might a port of refuge gain :
With the sacred Blood anointed
Of the Lamb for sinners slain.
To the Trinity be glory
Everlasting, as is meet :
Equal to the Father, equal
To the Son, and Paraclete :
Trinal Unity, whose praises
All created things repeat. Amen.

Hymn
The royal banners forward go:
The Cross shines forth in mystic glow,
Where he in flesh, our flesh who made,
Our sentence bore, our ransom paid :
Where deep for us the spear was dyed,
Life's torrent rushing from his side,
To wash us in that precious flood,
Where mingled Water flowed and Blood.
Fulfilled is all that David told
In true prophetic song of old:
Amidst the nations, God, saith he,
Hath reigned and triumphed from the Tree.
O Tree of beauty! Tree of light!
O Tree with royal purple dight!
Elect on whose triumphal breast
Those holy limbs should find their rest :
On whose dear arms, so widely flung,
The weight of this world's ransom hung,
The price of humankind to pay,
And spoil the spoiler of his prey.
During this stanza, all kneel.
O Cross, our one reliance, hail!
This holy Passiontide avail
To give fresh merit to the saint
And pardon to the penitent.
To thee, eternal Three in One,
Let homage meet by all be done:
Whom by the Cross thou dost restore,
Preserve and govern evermore. Amen.

Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky,
Heaven thunders forth its victor cry,
The glad earth shouts its triumph high,
And groaning hell makes wild reply :
While he, the King of glorious might
Treads down death's strength in death's despite,
And trampling hell by victor's right,
Brings forth his sleeping Saints to light.
Fast barred beneath the stone of late
In watch and ward where soldiers wait,
Now shining in triumphant state,
He rises Victor from death's gate.
Hell's pains are loosed, and tears are fled;
Captivity is captive led;
The Angel, crowned with light, hath said,
The Lord is risen from the dead.
We pray thee, King with glory decked,
In this our Paschal joy, protect
From all that death would fain effect
Thy ransomed flock, thine own elect.

Psalm 113
When Israel came out of Egypt, * and the
house of Jacob from among the strange
people,
Judah was his sanctuary, * and Israel his
dominion.
The sea saw that, and fled; * Jordan was
driven back.
The mountains skipped like rams, * and
the little hills like young sheep.
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou
fleedest? * and thou Jordan, that thou
wast driven back?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? *
and ye little hills, like young sheep?
The earth trembled at the presence of the
Lord: * at the presence of the God of
Jacob;
Who turned the hard rock into a standing
water, * and the flint-stone into a
springing well.
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, * but
unto thy Name give the glory.
For thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's
sake : * wherefore shall the heathen say,
Where is now their God?
As for our God, he is in heaven: * he hath
done whatsoever pleased him.
The idols of the heathen are silver and
gold, * even the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, and speak not; * eyes
have they, and see not.
They have ears, and hear not; * noses have
they, and smell not.
They have hands, and handle not; feet have
they, and walk not; * neither speak they
through their throat.
May they that make them be like unto
them; * even every one that trusteth in
them.
The house of Israel trusteth in the Lord; *
he is their helper and defender.
The house of Aaron, trusteth in the Lord;
* he is their helper and defender.
They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord; *
he is their helper and defender.

The Lord hath been mindful of us, * and
hath blessed us.
He hath blessed the house of Israel, * he
hath blessed the house of Aaron.
He hath blessed all them that fear the
Lord, * both small and great.

For unto thee will I make my prayer: * in
the morning shalt thou hear my voice,
O Lord.
Early in the morning will I stand before
thee, and will see: * for thou art the
God that hast no pleasure in
wickedness.
Neither shall any evil dwell with thee: * nor
shall the unjust abide before thine eyes.
For thou hatest all them that work iniquity:
* thou shalt destroy them that speak
lies.
The Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty
and deceitful man: * but as for me, in
the multitude of thy mercy.
I will come into thine house; * and in thy
fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.
Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, *
because of mine enemies make my way
plain before thy face.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
* their heart is vain.
Their throat is an open sepulchre, they
flatter with their tongue: * judge thou
them, O God.
Let them perish through their own
imaginations; cast them out in the
multitude of their ungodliness; * for
they have rebelled against thee, O Lord.
And let all them that put their trust in thee
rejoice: * they shall for ever be glad, and
thou shalt dwell amongst them.
And all they that love thy Name shall be
joyful in thee; * for thou, Lord, wilt give
thy blessing unto the righteous.
Thou hast crowned us, O Lord, * as with a
shield of thy good will.

With thy calm perpetual beam,

Making sense and thought divine.

Who can purge our tainted dwelling;
Who can aid us, who can break
Teeth of envious foes, and make
Hours of pain and loss succeed;
Guiding safe each duteous deed;
And, infusing self-control,
Fragrant chastity of soul,
Faiths keen flame to soar on high,
Incorrupt simplicity.
Christ himself for food be given,
Faith become the cup of heaven,
Out of which the joy is quaffd
Of the Spirits sobering draught.
With that joy replenished,
Morn shall glow with modest red,
Noon with beaming face so bright,
Eve be soft without twilight.
It has dawned: upon our way,
Father, in thy Word, this day,
In thy Father, Word divine,
From thy cloudy pillar shine.

And the Spirit, Three in One,
As of old, and as in heaven,
Now and here to glory be given. Amen.

O hearken thou unto the voice of my
calling, * my King and my God.
For unto thee will I make my prayer: * in
the morning shalt thou hear my voice,
O Lord.
Early in the morning will I stand before
thee, and will see: * for thou art the
God that hast no pleasure in
wickedness.
Neither shall any evil dwell with thee: * nor
shall the unjust abide before thine eyes.
For thou hatest all them that work iniquity:
* thou shalt destroy them that speak
lies.
The Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty
and deceitful man: * but as for me, in
the multitude of thy mercy.
I will come into thine house; * and in thy
fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.
Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, *
because of mine enemies make my way
plain before thy face.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
* their heart is vain.
Their throat is an open sepulchre, they
flatter with their tongue: * judge thou
them, O God.
Let them perish through their own
imaginations; cast them out in the
multitude of their ungodliness; * for
they have rebelled against thee, O Lord.
And let all them that put their trust in thee
rejoice: * they shall for ever be glad, and
thou shalt dwell amongst them.
And all they that love thy Name shall be
joyful in thee; * for thou, Lord, wilt give
thy blessing unto the righteous.
Thou hast crowned us, O Lord, * as with a
shield of thy good will.

Psalm 28
Bring unto the Lord, O ye children of
God, * bring unto the Lord the
offspring of rams.
Bring unto the Lord glory and honour, yea,
bring unto the Lord the honour due
unto his Name; * worship ye the Lord
in his holy court.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters,
the God of majesty hath thundered, *
the Lord is upon the great waters.
The voice of the Lord is mighty in
operation; * the voice of the Lord in
magnificence.
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar-
trees; * yea, the Lord shall break the
cedars of Lebanon.
And shall reduce them to pieces like a calf
of Lebanon; * and as the beloved son
of the unicorn.
The voice of the Lord divideth the flames
of fire; * the voice of the Lord shaketh
the wilderness; yea, the Lord shaketh
the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord prepareth the hinds,
and he will lay bare the forests: * and in
his temple shall every man speak forth
his glory.
The Lord maketh the water-flood to dwell,
* and the Lord shall remain King for
ever.
The Lord shall give strength unto his
people; * the Lord shall give his people
the blessing of peace.

Hymn
Of the Father effluence bright,
Out of light evolving light,
Light from light, unfailing ray,
Day creative of the day.
Truest sun, upon us stream
With thy calm perpetual beam,
In the Spirits still sunshine
Making sense and thought divine.
Seek we too the Fathers face,
Father of almighty grace,
And of majesty excelling,
Who can purge our tainted dwelling;
Who can aid us, who can break
Teeth of envious foes, and make
Hours of pain and loss succeed;
Guiding safe each duteous deed;
And, infusing self-control,
Fragrant chastity of soul,
Faiths keen flame to soar on high,
Incorrupt simplicity.
Christ himself for food be given,
Faith become the cup of heaven,
Out of which the joy is quaffd
Of the Spirits sobering draught.
With that joy replenished,
Morn shall glow with modest red,
Noon with beaming face so bright,
Eve be soft without twilight.
It has dawned: upon our way,

Hymn
O great Creator of the sky,
Who wouldest not the floods on high
With earthly water to confound,
But mad'st the firmament their bound.
The floods above thou didst ordain;
The floods below thou didst restrain;
That moisture might attemper heat,
Lest the parched earth should ruin meet.
Upon our souls, good Lord, bestow
The gift of grace in endless flow:
Lest some renew'd deceit or wile
Of former sin should us beguile.
Let Faith discover heav'nly light;
So shall her ray direct us right:
And let this Faith each error chase,
And never give to falsehood place.
Almighty Father, hear our cry
Through Jesus Christ our Lord most

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am
weak: * heal me, O Lord, for my bones
are troubled.
My soul also is troubled exceedingly: * but
thou, O Lord, how long?
Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul: *
O save me for thy mercy's sake.

For in death there is no one that is mindful
of thee: * and who will give thee thanks
in hell?
I have laboured in my groanings, every
night will I wash my bed: * and water
my couch with my tears.
Mine eye is troubled through indignation: *
I have grown old amongst all mine
enemies.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity:
* for the Lord hath heard the voice of
my weeping.
The Lord hath heard my supplication: *
the Lord hath received my prayer.
Let all mine enemies be put to shame, and
be sore troubled: * let them be turned
back, and put to shame very speedily.

Psalm 7, i
O Lord my God, in thee have I put my
trust: * save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver me.
Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like
a lion: * while there is no one to redeem
me nor to save.
O Lord my God, if I have done this thing:
* if there be iniquity in my hands:
If I have made a return to them that did
evils to me: * let me deservedly fall
empty before mine enemies.
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it,
and tread down my life on the earth: *
and bring down my glory to the dust.

Rise up, O Lord, in thine anger: * and be
thou exalted in the borders of mine
enemies.

Ut pro tua clemntia
And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept
which thou hast commanded: * and a
congregation of people shall surround
thee.
And for their sakes return thou on high: *
the Lord judgeth the people.
Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice:
* and according to my innocence in me.

The wickedness of sinners shall be brought
to nought, and thou shalt direct the just:
* O God who searchest the hearts and
reins.

Psalm 7, ii
Just is my help from the Lord: * who
saveth the upright of heart.
God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is
he angry every day?
Except ye be converted, he will brandish
his sword: * he hath bent his bow, and
made it ready.
And in it he hath prepared the instruments
of death: * he hath made ready his
arrows for them that burn.
Behold, he hath been in travail with
injustice: * he hath conceived sorrow
and brought forth iniquity.
He hath opened a pit and dug it: * and he
is falling into the hole that he hath
made.
His sorrow shall be turned on his own
head: * and his wickedness shall come
down upon his own crown.
I will give glory to the Lord according to
his justice: * and will sing to the name
of the Lord most high.

O sing unto the Lord a new song: * sing
unto the Lord, all the earth.
Sing unto the Lord, and bless his name: *
tell forth his salvation from day to day.
Tell forth his glory among the gentiles: *
his wonders among all peoples.
For the Lord is great, and highly to be

For all the gods of the gentiles are devils: *
but the Lord made the heavens.
Praise and beauty are before him; *
holiness and majesty his sanctuary.

Bring unto the Lord, O ye kindred of the

Psalm 134
Praise ye the name of the Lord: * O ye his
servants, praise ye the Lord.
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord: * in
the courts of the house of our God.
Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: *
sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto
himself: * and Israel for his own
possession.
For I know that the Lord is great: * and
our God is above all gods.

Whatsoever the Lord pleased he hath
done, in heaven, and in earth: * in the
sea, and in all the deeps.
He bringeth up clouds from the ends of
the earth: * he hat made lightnings for
the rain.
He bringeth the winds out of his treasures:
* he slew the first-born of Egypt, from
man even unto beast.
He sent forth signs and wonders in the
midst of thee, O Egypt: * upon Pharao
and all his servants.
He smote many nations: * and slew mighty
kings:
Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, and Og,
the king of Basan, * and all the
kingdoms of Chanaan:
And gave their land for an inheritance: *
for an inheritance unto his people
Israel.
Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: * thy
memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

For the Lord will judge his people: * and
will be entreated for his servants.
The idols of the gentiles are silver and
gold: * the works of men's hands.
They have a mouth, but they speak not: *
eyes have they, but they do not see.

Aures habent, et non udient: * neque enim

Domus Isral, benedcite Dmino: * domus
Aaron, benedcite Dmino.
Domus Levi, benedcite Dmino: * qui

Benedctus Dminus ex Sion, * qui hbitat

Ears have they, but they hear not: * neither
is there any breath in their mouths.
Let them that make them be like unto
them: * and every one that trusteth in
them.
Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: * bless
the Lord, O house of Aaaron.
Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: * ye that
fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Blessed be the Lord out of Sion: * who
dwelleth in Jerusalem.

Psalm 125
When the Lord turned again the captivity

consoled.
Then was our mouth filled with gladness: *
and our tongue with joy.
Then shall they say among the gentiles: *
The Lord hath done great things for
them.
The Lord hath done great things for us: *
we are become joyful.
Turn again our captivity, O Lord: * as a
river in the south.
They that sow in tears: * shall reap in joy.

They went forth on their way and wept: *
scattering their seed.
But returning, they shall come with joy: *
carrying their sheaves with them.

Psalm 126
Unless the Lord build the house: * they
labour in vain that build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city: * he
watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
In vain do ye rise before the light: * rise
not till ye have rested, O ye that eat the
bread of sorrow.
When he hath given sleep to his beloved: *
lo, children are an heritage from the
Lord: and the fruit of the womb a
reward.
Like as arrows in the hand of the mighty
One: * so are the children of those that
have been cast out.
Blessed is the man whose desire is satisfied
with them: * he shall not be
confounded when he speaketh with his
enemies in the gate.

Earth's mighty Maker, whose command
Raised from the sea the solid land;
And drove each billowy heap away,
And bad the earth stand firm for aye:
That so, with flowers of golden hue,
The seeds of each it might renew;
And fruit-trees bearing fruit might yield,
And pleasant pasture of the field:
Our spirit's rankling wounds efface
With dewy freshness of Thy grace:
That grief may cleanse each deed of ill,
And o'er each lust may triumph still.
Let every soul Thy law obey,
And keep from every evil way;
Rejoice each promised god to win,
And flee from every mortal sin.
Hear Thou our prayer, Almighty king!
Hear Thou our praises, while we sing,
Adoring with the heavenly host,
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Amen.

How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me

turn away thy face from me?
How long shall I take counsels in my soul:

How long shall mine enemy be exalted
over me? * Consider, and hear me, O
Lord my God.
Enlighten mine eyes, that I sleep not ever
in death: * lest mine enemy say at any
time: I have prevailed against him.
They that trouble me will rejoice when I
am moved: * but I have trusted in thy
mercy.
My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation, I will
sing unto the Lord, who hath given me
good things; * yea, I will sing unto the
name of the Lord most high.

Psalm 15
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my
trust in thee: * I have said to the Lord;
Thou art my God, for thou hast no

Their infirmities were multiplied: *

Thou hast visited the earth, and hast

The river of God is filled with water, thou

I will sing, and I will understand in the
unspotted way: * when thou shalt come

I walked in the innocence of my heart: * in
the midst of my house.

* and the wicket that turned aside from
me, I would not know.
The man that in private slandered his
neighbor: * him did I punish.
With him that had a proud eye, and an
ambitious heart: * I would not eat.
Mine eyes were upon the faithful of the
earth, that they may sit with me: * the
man that walked in the perfect way, he
served me.
He that worketh pride shall not dwell in
the midst of my house: * he that
speaketh unjust things did not prosper
before mine eyes.
In the morning I put to death all the
wicked out of the land: * that I might
cut off all the workers on iniquity from
the city of the Lord.

Canticle of Anna
1 Kings 2: 1-10
My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, * and
my horn is exalted in my God:
My mouth is enlarged over my enemies: *
because I joyed in thy salvation.
There is none holy as the Lord is: for there
is no other beside thee, * and there is
no one strong like our God.
Do not multiply to speak lofty things, *
boasting.
Let old matters depart from your mouth:
for the Lord is a God of all knowledge,
* and to him are thoughts prepared.
The bow of the mighty is overcome, * and
the weak are girt with strength.
They that were full before have hired out
themselves for bread: * and the hungry
are filled.
So that the barren hath borne many: * and
she that had many children weakened.
The Lord killeth and maketh alive, * he
bringeth down to hell and bringeth
back again.
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, *
he humbleth and exalteth.
He raised up the needy from the dust, *
and lifteth up the poor from the
dunghill:
That he may sit with princes, * and hold
the throne of glory.
For the poles of the earth are the Lords, *
and upon them he hath set the world.
He will keep the feet of his Saints, and the
wicked shall be silent in darkness; *
because no man shall prevail by his own
strength.
The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him:
* and upon them shall he thunder in the
heavens:

Dminus iudicbit fines terr, et dabit

And painting it with fiery light,
Made it so beauteous and so bright:
Thou, when the fourth day was begun,
Didst frame the circle of the sun,
And set the moon for ordered change,
And planets for their wider range:
To night and day, by certain line,
Their varying bounds Thou didst assign;
And gav'st a signal, known and meet,
For months begun and months complete.
Enlighten Thou the hearts of men:
Polluted souls make pure again:

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king:

army he hath cast into the sea:
His chosen captains are drowned in the
Red Sea: * the depths have covered
them, they are sunk to the bottom like a
stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in
strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath
slain the enemy. * And in the multitude
of thy glory thou hast put down thy
adversaries.
Thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath
devoured them like stubble. * And with
the blast of thy anger the waters were
gathered together.
The flowing water stood, * the depths were
gathered together in the midst of the
sea.
The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake,
* I will divide the spoils, my soul shall
have its fill.
I will draw my sword, * my hand shall slay
them.
Thy wind blew, and the sea covered them:
* they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like to thee among the strong, O
Lord? * who is like to thee, glorious in
holiness, terrible and praiseworthy,
doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the
earth swallowed them. * In thy mercy
thou hast been a leader to the people
which thou hast redeemed:
And in thy strength thou hast carried them
* to thy holy habitation.
Nations rose up and were angry: * sorrows
took hold on the inhabitants of the
Philisthiim.
Then were the princes of Edom troubled,
trembling seized on the stout men of
Moab: * all the inhabitants of Chanaan
became stiff.
Let fear and dread fall upon them: * in the
greatness of thy arm:
Let them become unmovable as a stone,
until thy people, O Lord, pass by: *
until this thy people pass by, which
thou hast possessed.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them
in the mountain of thy inheritance, * in
thy most firm habitation which thou
hast made, O Lord.

O sovereign Lord of Nature's might,
Who had'st the water's birth divide;
Part in the heavens to take their flight,
And part in ocean's deep to hide;
These low obscured, on airy wing
Exalted those, that either race,
Though from one element they spring,
Might serve Thee in a different place.
Grant, Lord, that we Thy servants all,
Saved by Thy tide of cleansing Blood,
No more 'neath sin's dominion fall,
Nor fear the thought of death's dark
flood!
Thy varied love each spirit bless,
The humble cheer, the high control;
Check in each heart its proud excess,
But raise the meek and contrite soul!
This boons, O Father, we entreat,
This blessing grant, Eternal Son,
And Holy Ghost, the Paraclete,
Both now, and while the ages run. Amen.

Eastertide:

Psalm 98
The Lord hath reigned, though the nations
rage: * he that sitteth on the cherubim:
though the earth be moved.
The Lord is great in Sion: * and high above
all peoples.
Let them give praise to thy great name: for
it is terrible and holy: * and the king's
honour loveth judgment.
Thou has prepared equity: * thou hast
done judgment and justice in Jacob.
Exalt ye the Lord our God: and adore his
footstool, * for it is holy.

Moses and Aaron among his priests: * and
Samuel among them that call upon his
name:
They called upon the Lord, and he heard
them: * he spake to them in the pillar of
the cloud.
They kept his testimonies: * and the
commandment which he gave them.
Thou didst hear and answer them, O Lord
our God: * thou wast a merciful God to
them, though thou tookest vengeance
on all their inventions.
Exalt ye the Lord our god, and adore at his
holy mountain: * for the Lord our God
is holy.

For thus saith the Lord that created the
heavens, * God himself that formed the
earth, and made it, the very maker
thereof:
He did not create it in vain: he formed it to
be inhabited: * I am the Lord, and there
is no other.
I have not spoken in secret, * in a dark
place of the earth:
I have not said to the seed of Jacob: * seek
me, in vain. * I am the Lord that speak
justice, that declare right things.
Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw
near together, * ye that are saved of the
gentiles.
They have no knowledge that set up the
wood of their graven work, * and pray
to a god that cannot save.
Tell ye, and come, and consult together: *
who hath declared this from the
beginning, who hath foretold this from
that time?
Have not I the Lord, and there is no god
else besides me? * A just God and a
Saviour, there is none besides me.
Be converted to me, and you shall be
saved, all ye ends of the earth: * for I
am God, and there is no other.
I have sworn by myself, the word of justice
shall go out of my mouth, * and shall
not return:
For ever knee shall be bowed to me, * and
every tongue shall swear.
Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my
justices and empire: * they shall come
to him, and all that resist him shall be
confounded.
In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel * be
justified and praised.

Thou struckest the head of the house of

Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of

For the fig-tree shall not blossom: * and

Et vide, si via iniquittis in me est: * et
deduc me in via trna.
I will remember them, and they shall be
multiplied above the sand: * I rose up
and am still with thee.
If thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: * ye
men of blood, depart from me:
Because ye say in thought: * they shall
receive thy cities in vain.
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated
thee: * and pined away because of thine
enemies?
I have hated them with a perfect hatred: *
and they became as enemies unto me.
Prove me, O God, and know my heart: *
examine me, and know my paths.
And see if there be in me the way of
iniquity: * and lead me in the eternal
way.

Psalm 139
Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: *
and rescue me from the unjust man.
Who have devised iniquities in their hearts:
* all the day long they designed battles.
They have sharpened their tongues like
serpents: * the venom of asps is under
their lips.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the
wicked: * and deliver me from unjust
men.
Who are purposed to supplant my steps: *
the proud have hidden a net for me:
And they have stretched out cords for a
snare: * they have laid for me a
stumbling-block by the wayside.
I said unto my Lord: Thou art my God: *
hear, O Lord, the voice of my
supplication.
O Lord, Lord, the strength of my
salvation: * thou hast overshadowed my
head in the day of battle.
Give me not up, O Lord, against my desire
to the wicked: * they have plotted
against me; do not thou forsake me, lest
they triumph.
The head of them compassing me about: *
the labour of their lips shall overwhelm

Cadent super eos carbnes, in ignem

Burning coals shall fall upon them: thou
shalt cast them down into the fire: * in
their miseries they shall not be able to

A man full of words shall not be
established in the earth: * evil shall seize

I know the Lord will do justice to the

Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: *
and a door round about my lips.
Incline not my heart to evil words: * to
make excuses in sins.
With the men that work iniquity: * I will
have no dealings with the choicest of

The just man shall correct me in mercy,

Our bones lie scattered night unto hell, *
but on thee, O Lord, my Lord, are mine
eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take
not away my soul.
Keep me from the snare, which they have

Flight hath failed me: * and there is no one

Attend unto my supplication: * for I am

Hymn
Maker of men, from heaven, thy throne,
Who orderest all things, God alone;
By whose decree the teeming earth
To reptile and to beast gave birth.
The mighty forms that fill the land,
Instinct with life at thy command,
Are given subdued to human-kind
For service in their rank assigned.
Therefore subdue in us today
Fierce passions which would else have
sway,
Or mingle with the heart's intent,
And with our actions thus, be blent.
In heaven thine endless joys bestow,
But grant thy gifts of grace below;
From chains of strife our souls release,
Bind fast the gentle banks of peace.
Almighty Father, hear our cry
Through Jesus Christ our Lord most
high,
Who with the Holy Ghost and thee

Psalmus 76, ii

Notam fecsti in ppulis virttem tuam: *
Redemsti in brchio tuo ppulum tuum

Psalmus 85
Inclna, Dmine, aurem tuam, et exudi me:
night: * and I was not deceived.
My soul refused to be comforted: * I
remembered God, and was delighted,
and I mused: and my spirit swooned
away.
Mine eyes prevented the watches: * I was
troubled, and I spake not.
I thought upon the days of old: * and I had
in my mind the eternal years.
And I meditated in the night with mine
own heart: * and I mused, and searched
my spirit.
Will God then cast off for ever? * or will
he never more be favourable?
Or will he cut off his mercy for ever? *
from generation to generation?

Or will God forget to show mercy? * or
will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
And I said, Now have I begun: * this
change is of the right hand of the Most
High.
I remembered the works of the Lord: * for
I will be mindful of thy wonders from
the beginning,
And I will meditate on all thy works: * and
will be employed in thy doings.

Psalm 76, ii
Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who
is the great God like our God? * thou
art the God that doest wonders.
Thou hast made known thy power among
the nations: * with thine arm hast thou
redeemed thy people, the children of
Jacob and of Joseph.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters
saw thee: * and they were afraid, and
the depths were troubled.
Great was the noise of the waters: * the
clouds sent out a sound.
For thine arrows pass by: * the voice of thy
thunder in a wheel.
Thy lightnings lightened the world: * the
earth shook and trembled.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in
many waters: * and thy footsteps shall
not be known.
Thou didst lead thy people like sheep: * by
the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 85
Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear me: *

Preserve my soul, for I am holy: * O my
God, save thy servant, that trusteth in
thee.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for unto
thee have I cried all the day: * give joy
to the soul of thy servant, for unto thee,
O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: *
and plenteous in mercy unto all that call
upon thee.
Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer: * and
attend to the voice of my petition.
I have called upon thee in the day of my
trouble: * for thou hast heard me.
Among the gods there is none like unto
thee, O Lord, * and there is none that
can do works like unto thy works.
All the nations whom thou hast made shall
come and worship before thee, O Lord:
* and shall glorify thy name.
For thou art great, and doest wondrous
things: * thou art God alone.
Lead me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will
walk in thy truth: * let my heart rejoice
that it may fear thy name.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with
my whole heart: * and I will glorify thy
name for ever:
For great is thy mercy towards me: * and
thou hast delivered my soul out of the
lower hell.
O God, the wicked are risen up against me;
and the assembly of the mighty have
sought after my soul: * and they have
not set thee before their eyes.
And thou, O Lord, art a God full of
compassion, and merciful: * long
suffering, and of much mercy, and true.
O look upon me, and have mercy on me: *
give thy strength unto thy servant, and
save the son of thine handmaid.
Show me a token for good: that they who
hate me may see, and be confounded: *
because thou, O Lord, hast helped me
and hast comforted me.

Have mercy upon us, O God of all, and

And send thy fear upon the nations, * that
have not sought after thee.
That they may know that there is no God
beside thee, * and that they may show

Lift up thy hand of the strange nations, *
that they may see thy power.
For as thou hast been sanctified in us in
their sight, * so shalt thou be magnified

That they may know thee, as we also have
known thee, * that there is no God

Renew thy signs, and work new miracles. *
Glorify thy hand, and thy right arm.
Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath. *
Take away the adversary, and crush the
enemy.
Hasten the time, and remember the end, *
that they may declare thy wonderful
works.
Let him that escapeth be consumed by the
rage of the fire: * and let them perish
that oppress thy people.
Crush the head of the princes of the
enemies * that say: There is no other
beside us.
Gather together all the tribes of Jacob: that
they may know that there is no God
besides thee, * and may declare thy
great works.
And thou shalt inherit them, * as from the
beginning.
Have mercy on thy people, upon whom
thy name is invoked: * and upon Israel,

firstborn.
Have mercy on Jerusalem, the city which
thou hast sanctified, * the city of thy

Little Chapter (Ecclus. 24: 14)
From the beginning, and before the world,
was I created, and unto the world to come
I shall not cease to be, and in the holy
dwelling-place I have ministered before
him.
Hymn
O glorious Maid, exalted far
In light more bright than any star,
From him who made thee thou hast won
Grace to be Mother of his Son.
That which was lost in hapless Eve
Thy holy Scion did retrieve;
The tear-worn sons of Adam's race,
Through thee have glimpsed the heavenly
place.
Thou wast the gate of heaven's Lord,
The door through which the Light had
poured;
Thou, Maiden-Mother, Life dost bring
Ye ransomed nations, shout and sing!
O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee,

On Holy Saturday, in the place of
the following canticle of Moses Hear,
O ye heavens, the following canticle of
Ezechias is said I said: in the midst of
my days, as above P108 at Lauds on
Tuesday.

Canticle of Moses
Deut. 32: 1-43
Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, *
let the earth give ear to the words of my
mouth.
Let my doctrine gather as the rain, * let my
speech distil as the dew,
As a shower upon the herb, and as drops
upon the grass. * Because I will invoke
the name of the Lord:
Give ye magnificence to our God. * The
works of God are perfect, and all his
ways are judgments:
God is faithful and without any iniquity, he
is just and right. * They have sinned
against him, and are none of his
children in their filth:
They are a wicked and perverse generation.
* Is this the return thou makest to the
Lord, O foolish and senseless people?
Is not he thy father, * that hath possessed
thee, and made thee, and created thee?
Remember the days of old, * think upon
every generation:
Ask thy father, and he will declare to thee:
* thy elders and they will tell thee.
When the Most High divided the nations: *
when he separated the sons of Adam,
He appointed the bounds of people *
according to the number of the children
of Israel.
But the Lords portion is his people: *
Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
He found him in a desert land, * in a place
of horror, and of vast wilderness:
He led him about, and taught him: * and
he kept him as the apple of his eye.
As the eagle enticing her young to fly, *
and hovering over them,
He spread his wings, and hath taken him *
and carried him on his shoulders.

Dminus solus dux eius fuit: * et non erat
cum eo deus alinus.
Consttuit eum super exclsam terram: * ut
comderet fructus agrrum,
Ut sgeret mel de petra, * olemque de
saxo durssimo.
Btyrum de armnto, et lac de vibus * cum
dipe agnrum, et aretum filirum
Basan:
Et hircos cum medlla trtici, * et
snguinem uv bberet meracssimum.

Incrasstus est dilctus, et recalcitrvit: *
incrasstus, impingutus, dilattus,
Derelquit Deum, factrem suum, * et
recssit a Deo, salutri suo.
Provocavrunt eum in diis alinis, * et in
abominatinibus ad iracndiam
concitavrunt.
Immolavrunt dmniis, et non Deo, * diis,
quos ignorbant:
Novi recentsque venrunt, * quos non
colurunt patres erum.
Deum qui te gnuit dereliqusti, * et obltus
es Dmini, creatris tui.

Vidit Dminus, et ad iracndiam concittus
est: * quia provocavrunt eum flii sui et
fli.
Et ait: Abscndam fciem meam ab eis, * et
considerbo novssima erum:

Genertio enim pervrsa est, * et infidles
flii.
Ipsi me provocavrunt in eo, qui non erat
Deus, * et irritavrunt in vanittibus suis:

Et ego provocbo eos in eo, qui non est
ppulus, * et in gente stulta irritbo illos.

Ignis succnsus est in furre meo, * et
ardbit usque ad infrni novssima:
Devorabtque terram cum grmine suo, * et
mntium fundamnta combret.

Congregbo super eos mala, * et sagttas
meas complbo in eis.
Consumntur fame, * et devorbunt eos
aves morsu amarssimo:

Dentes bestirum immttam in eos, * cum
furre trahntium super terram, atque
serpntium.
The Lord alone was his leader: * and there
was no strange god with him.
He set him upon high land: * that he might
eat the fruits of the fields,
That he might suck honey out of the rock,
* and oil out of the hardest stone,
Butter of the herd, and milk of the sheep *
with the fat of lambs, and of the rams
of the breed of Basan:
And goats with the marrow of wheat, *
and might drink the purest blood of the
grape.
The beloved grew fat, and kicked: * he
grew fat, and thick and gross,
He forsook God who made him, * and
departed from God his saviour.
They provoked him by strange gods, * and
stirred him up to anger, with their
abominations.
They sacrificed to devils and not to God: *
to gods whom they knew not:
That were newly come up, * whom their
fathers worshipped not.
Thou hast forsaken the God that beget
thee, * and hast forgotten the Lord that
created thee.
The Lord saw, and was moved to wrath: *
because his own sons and daughters
provoked him.
And he said: I will hide my face from
them: * and I will consider what their
last end shall be.
For it is a perverse generation, * and
unfaithful children.
They have provoked me with that which
was no god, * and have angered me
with their vanities:
And I will provoke them with that which is
no people, * and will vex them with a
foolish nation.
A fire is kindled in my wrath, * and shall
burn even to the lowest hell:
And shall devour the earth with her
increase, * and shall burn the
foundations of the mountains.
I will heap evils upon them, * and will
spend my arrows among them.
They shall be consumed with famine: * and
birds shall devour them with a most
bitter bite:
I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, *
with the fury of creatures that trail upon
the ground, and of serpents.

Foris vastbit eos gldius, et intus pavor, *

Qumodo persequtur unus mille, * et duo

Et dicet: Ubi sunt dii erum, * in quibus

De quorum vctimis comedbant dipes, *

Surgant, et opitulntur vobis, * et in

Deus prter me:
Ego occdam, et ego vvere fciam:
perctiam, et ego sanbo, * et non est
qui de manu mea possit erere.
Levbo ad clum manum meam, et dicam:
Without the sword shall lay them waste,
and terror within, * both the young man
and the virgin, the sucking child with
the man in years.
I said: Where are they? * I will make the
memory of them to cease from among
men.
But for the wrath of the enemies I have
deferred it: * lest perhaps their enemies
might be proud.
And should say: Our mighty hand, and not
the Lord, * hath done all these things.
They are a nation without counsel, and
without wisdom. * O that they would
be wise, and would understand, and
would provide for their last end.
How should one pursue after a thousand, *
and two chase ten thousand?
Was it not because their God had sold
them, * and the Lord had shut them
up?
For our God is not as their gods: * our
enemies themselves are judges.
Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom,
* and of the suburbs of Gomorrha.
Their grapes are grapes of gall, * and their
clusters most bitter.
Their wine is the gall of dragons, * and the
venom of asps, which is incurable.
Are not these things stored up with me, *
and sealed up in my treasures?
Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in
due time: * that their foot may slide:
The day of destruction is at hand, * and the
time makes haste to come.
The Lord will judge his people, * and will
have mercy on his servants:
He shall see that their hand is weakened, *
and that they who were shut up have
also failed, and they that remained are
consumed.
And he shall say: Where are their gods, * in
whom they trusted?
Of whose victims they ate the fat, * and
drank the wine of their drink offerings:
Let them arise and help you, * and protect
you in your distress.
See ye that I alone am, * and there is no
other God besides me.
I will kill, and I will make to live: * I will
strike, and I will heal, * and there is
none that can deliver out of my hand.
I will lift up my hand to heaven, and will

and my sword shall devour flesh.

And will render vengeance to their

Each dawn, that sprinkles east with light
As day o'er earth is gliding bright,
Bids dark things flee, and deeds of sin,
As morn's bright rays their course begin.

Let guilty thoughts forsake the heart;
And every ill, that darkness sought
Beneath its shade, come swift to naught.

Which we with trembling hope await,
With blessed light for us shall glow

Ant. I Blessed be the Lord, * my upholder

Eastertide:

Psalm 143, i
Blessed be the Lord my God: who
teacheth my hands to fight, * and my
fingers to war.
My mercy and my refuge: * my upholder
and my deliverer:
My protector in whom I have hoped: *
who subdueth my people under me.
Lord, what is man, that thou makest
thyself known unto him? * or the son
of man, that thou makest account of
him?
Man is like to vanity: * his days pass away
as a shadow.
Bow down thy heavens, O Lord, and come
down: * touch the mountains, and they
shall smoke.
Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter
them: * shoot out thine arrows, and
thou shalt trouble them.
Put forth thy hand from on high; take me
out and deliver me from many waters: *
and from the hand of the strange
children.
Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and
their right hand is the right hand of
iniquity.

children; whose mouth hath spoken
vanity: * and their right hand is the right
hand of iniquity.
Whose sons are as new plants: * in their

Their daughters decked out; * adorned
round about after the similitude of a
temple.
Their storehouses full: * flowing over from
one into another.
Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in
their goings out: * their oxen well fed.
There is no breach of wall, nor passage: *
neither any crying in their streets.
They have called the people happy, that
hath these things: * but happy is the
people whose God is the Lord.

Sicut vulnerti dormintes in seplcris,

Psalmus 102, i
Bnedic, nima mea, Dmino: * et mnia,
cried in the day, and in the night before
thee.
Let my prayer have entrance in thy sight: *
incline thine ear to my petition:
For my soul is filled with evils: * and my
life hath drawn nigh unto hell.
I am counted among them that go down
into the pit: * I am become as a man
without help, free among the dead:
Like unto them that are wounded and
sleep in the grave, whom thou
rememberest no more: * and they are
cast off from thy hand.
They have laid me in the lower pit: * in the
dark places, and in the shadow of death.
Thy wrath is strong over me: * and all thy
waves thou hast brought in upon me.
Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far
from me: * they have set me an
abomination to themselves.
I was delivered up, and came not forth: *
mine eyes languished for want.
All the day I cried unto thee, O Lord: * I
stretched out my hands unto thee.
Wilt thou show wonders unto the dead? *
or shall physicians raise to life, and give
praise unto thee?
Shall any one in the grace declare thy
mercy: * and thy truth in destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark: *
and thy justice in the land of
forgetfulness?
But I, O Lord, have cried unto thee: * and
in the morning my prayer shall come
early before thee.
Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: *
why turnest thou away thy face from
me?
I am poor, and in labours from my youth
up: * and being lifted up I have been
humbled and troubled.
Thy wrath hath come upon me: * and thy
terrors have troubled me.
They came round about like water all the
day: * they have compassed me about
together.
Friend and neighbour thou hast put far
from me: * and mine acquaintance,
because of misery.

Who forgiveth thee all thine iniquities: *
who healeth all thine infirmities.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction:
* who crowneth thee with mercy and
compassion.
Who satisfieth thy desire with good things:
* thy youth shall be renewed like the
eagles.
The Lord doth mercies and judgment: *
for all that suffer wrong.
He hath made his ways known unto
Moses: * his will unto the children of
Israel.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy:
* long-suffering, and plenteous in
mercy.
He will not always be angry: * neither will
he threaten for ever.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins: *
nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth: *
so hath he strengthened his mercy
towards them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west: * so far
hath he removed our iniquities from us.

Psalm 102, ii
As a father hath pity upon his children, so
hath the Lord pity upon them that fear

He remembereth that we are but dust: *
mans days are as the grass, as the
flower of the field so shall he flourish.
For the wind shall pass over it, and it shall
not be: * and one shall know its place
no more.
But the mercy of the Lord is from
everlasting * to everlasting: upon them
that fear him;
And justice upon childrens children: *
unto such as keep his covenant;
And are mindful of his commandments: *
to do them.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in

Guide our wavering spirits with hope

Hymn
Spotless in Mary, saith the long tradition
Taught by the Doctors, through the
Church re-echoed,
And by the faithful joyously remembered,
On this glad feast-day.
Oft this fair Virgin to a maiden lowly
Herself presented; soothed the damsel's
trembling;
And in speech mystic her conception
spotless
Then manifested.
O happy grotto, honoured by this vision
Of God's own Mother, coming to the
lowly!
O rock so hallowed, whence the healing
waters
Streamed forth, life-giving!
Not Frenchmen only throng this sanctuary;
Hither come pilgrims from the earth's far
corners;
And all uniting, seek the Blessed Virgin's
Mighty assistance.
Here doth that Mother hearken to
petitions;
Here she the sickly granteth prayed-for
healing;
Filled with such blessings pilgrims wend
their journey
Homeward rejoicing.
Pity, O Virgin, all this world's misfortunes;
Lighten our burdens by thine intercession;
Joy everlasting for our earthly penance,
We pray thee, win us.
Praise we the Father, and the Sole-Begotten;
And thee, O Spirit, Power of the Highest,
Mary's O'er-Shadower, with them both
Co-Equal;
One God for ever. Amen.

V. My praise by thee accepted be, O Holy
Virgin. R. Give me strength against thine
enemies.
Today the glorious Queen of heaven *
appeared on earth; today her word brought
to her people a pledge of peace and salva-
tion; today the choirs of Angels and of
men exult, celebrating with joy the
Immaculate Conception. (Alleluia.)

Hymn
The fathers lived a life in shade,
Yet seemed to Peters vision seven
White glistening lilies for the Maid,
The Queen of heaven.
Through city streets, oer hills and plains,
Upborne by love divine, they trod,
To fix in men the Mothers pains,
The swords of God.
This was the power in which they spoke,
Till each wild passion owned their sway:
They cheered the sad, from sinners broke
Their chains away.
Till at last the Virgin Queen
Led them to mansions in the sky,
Mansions where garlands aye are green
And never die.
May they hear cries of all who pray,
And see how hard our earthly strife:
Aiding us onward to the day
When all is life.
Now to the Father, thanks and praise;
To thee, O Son, the same we send;
To thee, Great Spirit, through all days,
World without end. Amen.

Hymn
By Marys inspiration led,
A sevenfold offspring comes to light;
At Marys call away they sped
To Mount Senarios rugged height.
What fruits of grace the earth shall bear
When they have sown their seeds divine!
Christs vine shall bud with clusters rare,
Empurpled with the ruddy wine.
A holy death to heaven speeds
The souls with virtues glory crowned;
When Mary for her servants pleads,
Heavens blessed portals they have found.
O happy souls who now obtain
The Kingdom, and the sceptre bear,
Look down on us who still remain
Where Satan spreads his subtle snare.
Therefore on bended knee we pray,
For sake of Marys bitter grief;
Chase darkness from our mind away,
And give our troubled hearts relief.
And thou, O Trinity Divine!
Confirm us in thy holy grace!
That so we may our hearts incline
To walk in these thy servants ways.
Amen.
V. These are men of mercy, and their good
works have not failed. R. Their seed and

O Joseph, spouse so pure of that immortal
bride
Whose glory shines secure, midst virgins
glorified:
How now on high thy name is ever
magnified
Let all of Christendom proclaim;
How once at God's behest an Angel came
to bring
Joy to thine anxious breast, and tell of
Christ the King
The Babe foretold of yore that of a maid
must spring,
By God the Spirit shadowed o'er.
How with thy new-born Lord and Mary
thou didst flee;
How Egypt did afford haven for them
and thee;
How in Jerusalem that Son, sought
mournfully,
Restored all joy, all grief did stem.
Not till death's hour is past do other men
obtain
The blessings that do last, the joys that
e'er remain;
Thou, like to Angels blest, on earth didst
here attain
To clasp thy God unto thy breast.
O Holy Trinity, thy suppliant servants
spare;
Grant us to come to thee, with Joseph's
help and prayer;
And then our hearts shall raise, in saintly
chorus fair,
Exulting canticles of praise. Amen.

Not angry threat, nor naked sword;
Thou didst prefer on earth to die,
And gain the glory of the Lord.

Enthroned in bliss for evermore,
Look down from that exalted height
And hear the humble prayers we pour.

class
The major Litanies are assigned to
April 25; if that day occurs on Easter
Sunday, or the Monday following
Easter, it is transferred to Tuesday.
The major Litanies are not said in
the Office, but in the church and ac-
cording to the local conditions and cus-
toms, of which the local Ordinary is the
judge; on this day a procession is fit-
ting, in which the Litany of the Saints is
said (which nevertheless are not dupli-
cated) along with its prayers. If, how-
ever, a procession cannot be made, the
local Ordinary can institute particular
supplications, in which is said the Lit-
any of the Saints and other prayers
which are customary in the procession.
All who are obligated to the recita-
tion of the Divine Office, who are not
present for the procession or other
prayers described above, are to still
maintain the recitation of the Litany of
the Saints with their prayers, in the
Latin language.

If the Litany of the Saints with its
prayers, by local custom, is said in pro-
cession or some other particular place
in the vernacular, and one of the faith-
ful who is saying them, is obligated to
the recitation of the Divine Office, and
these prayers are done in accordance
with the rite, he is not bound to repeat
it in the Latin language in his prayers.

Hymn
This day, as doth the star of earth
Awake the dawn, and climb the sky,
Venantius, for his heavenly birth,
Now bids us share his triumph high.
No joy his country could afford
To him as it in darkness lay,
Till he o'er all its regions poured
The light of everlasting day;
Till he the blest baptismal flood
Set loose, and so did purify
His land, and them that sought his blood,
Who with him came for Christ to die.
And now with Angels doth he share
Blest joys of Christ which never cease;
Look down on us, O Martyr fair,
And plead for us Christ's grace and peace.
We praise thee, three-fold Unity,
The Three in One and One in Three,
And beg, by grace of charity,
To share this Martyr's sanctity. Amen.

Hymn
Venantius, hail! God's Martyr bright,
Thy country's honour and her light;
Who dost with joy in triumph sing,
Thy judge and tortures conquering.
A child in years, yet heeds no pain,
Nor dungeon damp, nor galling chain;
Then he, for beastly bait, is thrown
To lions mad with hunger grown.
O wondrous sight! the beasts of prey
Their food reject, and turn away;
Then tamely lick the Martyr's feet,
A tribute to his virtue meet.
Next downwards hung, he is exposed
To clouds of smoke beneath disposed,
Whilst with slow torches, burning clear,
His naked breasts and sides they sear.
We praise thee, three-fold Unity,
The Three in One and One in Three,
And beg, by grace of charity,
To share this Martyr's sanctity. Amen.

Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all

thou hast formed me, and laid thine

Thy knowledge is become wonderful unto

Wither shall I go from thy spirit? * or

If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I
descend into hell, thou art present.
If I take my wings early in the morning: *
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the
sea:
Even there also shall thy hand lead me: *
and thy right hand shall hold me.
And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover
me: * and night shall be my light in my
pleasures.
But darkness shall not be dark to thee: and
night shall be as light as the day: * the
darkness and the light thereof shall be
alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou
hast upholden me from my mother's
womb.
I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully
magnified: * wonderful are thy works,
My bone is not hidden from thee, which
thou hast made in secret: * and my
substance in the lower parts of the
earth.
Thine eyes did see my imperfect being, and
in thy book all shall be written: * the
days shall be formed, and no one in
them.
But to my thy friends, O God, are made
exceedingly honourable: * their
principality is exceedingly strengthened.
I will remember them, and they shall be
multiplied above the sand: * I rose up
and am still with thee.
If thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: * ye
men of blood, depart from me:
Because ye say in thought: * they shall
receive thy cities in vain.
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated
thee: * and pined away because of thine
enemies?
I have hated them with a perfect hatred: *
and they became as enemies unto me.
Prove me, O God, and know my heart: *
examine me, and know my paths.
And see if there be in me the way of
iniquity: * and lead me in the eternal
way.

The love that never faints, their glory
evermore,
For these the Church today pours forth
her joyous lay;
What victors wear so rich a bay?
This clinging world of ill them and their
works abhorred;
Its withering flowers still they spurned
with one accord:
They knew them short lived all, how soon
they fade and fall,
And followed, Jesu, at thy call.
For thee all pangs they bare, fury and
mortal hate,
The cruel scourge to tear, the hook to
lacerate;
But vain their foes' intent: for, every
torment spent,
Their valiant spirits stood unbent.
Like sheep their blood they poured: and
without groan or tear
They bent before the sword for that their
King most dear:
Their souls, serenely blest, in patience
they possessed,
And looked in hope to-wards their rest.
What tongue may here declare, fancy or
thought descry,
The joys thou dost prepare, for these thy
Saints on high?
Empurpled in the flood of their victorious
blood,
They won the laurel from their God.
O Lord Most High, we pray, stretch forth
thy mighty arm
To put our sins away, and shelter us from
harm;
O give thy servants peace, from guilt and
pain release;
Our praise to thee shall never cease. Amen.

V. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just.
R. And be joyful, all ye that are right of

O glorious King of Martyr hosts,
Thou Crown that each Confessor boasts:
Who leadest to celestial day
Those who have cast earth's joys away.
Thine ear in mercy, Saviour, lend,
While unto thee our prayers ascend;
And as we count their triumphs won,
Forgive the sins that we have done.
Martyrs in thee their triumphs gain,
From thee Confessors grace obtain;
O'ercome in us the lust of sin,
That we thy pardoning love may win.

Whose yearly feast, in solemn state,
Thy faithful people celebrate.

For higher, truer joys he sought;
And now with Angels round thy throne
Unfading treasures are his own.

May follow in the steps he trod:

The grace of pardon for our sin.

Hath won through grace a saintly fame,
And owns a dear and honoured name.
Such holy love inflamed her breast
That she on earth recked naught of rest,
But, strong in faith and patience, trod
The straight and narrow way to God.
She learned through fasting to control
The flesh that weigheth down the soul,
And then, by prayer's sweet food sustain'd,
To seek the joys she now hath gain'd.
King Christ, the strength of all the strong,
To whom alone high deeds belong,
Through her prevailing prayer on high,
In mercy hear thy people's cry.

Hymn
Blessed City, heavenly Salem,
Vision dear of peace and love,
Who, of living stones upbuilded,
Art the joy of heaven above,
And, with Angel cohorts circled,
As a bride to earth dost move!
From celestial realms descending,
Ready for the nuptial bed,
To his presence, decked with jewels,
By her Lord shall she be led;
All her streets, and all her bulwarks,
Of pure gold are fashioned.
Bright with pearls her portal glitters,
It is open evermore;
And, by virtue of his merits,
Thither faithful souls may 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 honour to the Father,
Laud and honour to the Son,
Laud and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
Consubstantial, co-eternal,
While unending ages run. Amen.

Hymn
From highest heaven, the Father's Son,
Descending like that mystic stone
Cut from a mountain without hands,
Came down below, and filled all lands;
Uniting, midway in the sky,
His house on earth, and house on high.
That house on high,it ever rings
With praises of the King of kings;
Forever there, on harps divine,
They hymn th' eternal One and Trine;
We, here below, the strain prolong,
And faintly echo Sion's song.
O Lord of lords invisible!
With thy pure light this temple fill:
Hither, oft as invoked, descend;
Here to thy people's prayer attend;
Here, through all hearts, forever more,
Thy Spirit's quick'ning graces pour.
Here may the faithful, day by day,
Their hearts' adoring homage pay;

other times according to custom: Mat-

Vespers after Vespers of the day, imme-

Lord and Thanks be to God. At the end
of all the psalms is said: Eternal rest *
give to them, O Lord. And let perpetual
light * shine on them, even if the Office
is for only one.

Matins
Begin immediately at the invitatory.
The below Nocturns are said by all
who are able or only one, thusly: outside
the day of burial, in which is always
said the first Nocturn; the first Nocturn
is said on Sunday, Monday, and Thurs-

let us approach his presence in praise,
and let us sing joyfully in psalms to him.
Come, let us adore the King, to whom all
things live.
Because the Lord is a great God, and a
great King above all gods: because the
lord repels not his people, for in his
hands are all the bounds of the earth:
and he beholds the heights of the
mountains.
Come, let us adore.

st
Nocturn
For Sunday, Monday and Thursday
Ant. I Direct, * O Lord my God, my way
in thy sight.
Psalm 5
Give ear, O Lord, to my words: * hearken
to my cry.
Attend to the voice of my prayer: * my
King and my God.
Because I will pray to thee: * O Lord, in the
morning thou wilt hear my voice.
In the morning I will stand by thee and will
see: * for thou art not a God that willest
iniquity.
Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: *
nor the unjust abide before thy eyes.
Thou hatest all that work iniquity: * thou
wilt destroy all that speak lies.

The bloody and deceitful man the Lord will
abhor: * but I, in the multitude of thy
mercies,
Will enter into thy house: * I will adore at
thy holy temple in thy fear.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: *
because of my enemies, direct my way in
thy sight.
Because there is no truth in their mouth: *
their heart is in vain.
(3) Office of the Dead




iusto.
coronsti nos.
Et lux perptua * lceat eis.
Their throat is a gaping sepulchre, they
dealt deceitfully with their tongues: *
judge them, O God.
Let them fail in their designs: according to
the multitude of their impieties expel
them, * for they have provoked thee, O
Lord.
And let all be glad that hope in thee, * they
shall rejoice for ever: and thou wilt dwell
in them.
And all that love thy name shall glory in
thee, * because thou wilt bless the just.

Lord, as with a shield of thy good-will *
thou hast crowned us.
Eternal rest * give to them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light * shine on them.

Ant. I Drige, Dmine, Deus meus, in
conspctu tuo viam meam.
Ant. II Convrtere, * Dmine, et ripte
nimam meam: quniam non est in morte,
qui memor sit tui.
Ant. I Direct, O Lord my God, my way in
thy sight.
Ant. II Turn, * O Lord, and deliver my
soul: for there is none in death who will be
mindful of thee.

Psalmus 6
Miserre mei, Dmine, quniam infrmus
sum: * sana me, Dmine, quniam
conturbta sunt ossa mea.
Et nima mea turbta est valde: * sed tu,
Dmine, squequo?
Convrtere, Dmine, et ripe nimam
meam: * salvum me fac propter
misericrdiam tuam.
Quniam non est in morte qui memor sit
tui: * in infrno autem quis confitbitur
tibi?
Laborvi in gmitu meo, lavbo per
sngulas noctes lectum meum: * lcrimis
meis stratum meum rigbo.
Turbtus est a furre culus meus: *
invetervi inter omnes inimcos meos.
Discdite a me, omnes, qui opermini
iniquittem: * quniam exaudvit
Dminus vocem fletus mei.
Exaudvit Dminus deprecatinem meam,
* Dminus oratinem meam suscpit.
Erubscant, et conturbntur vehemnter
omnes inimci mei: * convertntur et
erubscant valde velciter.
Psalm 6
Lord, rebuke me not in thy fury, * nor
chastise me in thy wrath.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, because I am
infirm: * heal me, O Lord, because my
bones are disordered.
And my soul is very much troubled: * but
thou, O Lord, how long?
Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul: * save
me for thy mercys sake.

Because there is none in death that is
mindful of thee, * and in hell who will
praise thee?
I have laboured in my groaning, every night
I will wash my bed: * I will water my
couch with my tears.
My eye is troubled with fury; * I am grown
old among all my enemies.
Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity: *
because the Lord has heard the voice of
my weeping.
The Lord has heard my petition: * the Lord
has received my prayer.
Let all my enemies blush, and be troubled
exceedingly: * let them be turned back
and ashamed very speedily.

Et lux perptua * lceat eis. And let perpetual light * shine on them.

Ant. II Convrtere, Dmine, et ripte ni-
mam meam: quniam non est in morte, qui
memor sit tui.
Ant. III Nequndo rpiat * ut leo nimam
meam, dum non est qui rdimat, neque qui
salvum fciat.
Ant. II Turn, O Lord, and deliver my soul:
for there is none in death who will be
mindful of thee.
Ant. III Lest at any time * the enemy
snatch my soul as a lion, whilst there is
none to redeem, nor to save it.

Psalmus 7
Dmine, Deus meus, in te spervi: *
salvum me fac ex mnibus
persequntibus me, et lbera me.
Nequndo rpiat ut leo nimam meam, *
dum non est qui rdimat, neque qui
salvum fciat.
Dmine, Deus meus, si feci istud. * si est
inquitas in mnibus meis:
Si rddidi retribuntibus mihi mala, *
dcidam mrito ab inimcis meis innis.

Persequtur inimcus nimam meam, et
comprehndat, et conclcet in terra
vitam meam, * et glriam meam in
plverem dedcat.
Exsrge, Dmine, in ira tua: * et exaltre in
fnibus inimicrum merum.
Et exsrge, Dmine Deus meus, in
prcpto quod mandsti: * et synagga
populrum circmdabit te.

Et propter hanc in altum regrdere: *
Dminus idicat ppulos.
Idica me, Dmine, secndum iusttiam
meam, * et secndum innocntiam
meam super me.
Consumtur nequtia peccatrum, et driges
iustum, * scrutans corda et renes Deus.

Iustum adiutrium meum a Dmino, * qui
salvos facit rectos corde.
Deus iudex iustus, fortis, et ptiens: *
numquid irscitur per sngulos dies?
Nisi convrsi furitis, gldium suum
vibrbit: * arcum suum tetndit, et
parvit illum.
Et in eo parvit vasa mortis: * sagttas suas
ardntibus effcit.

Ecce partriit iniusttiam: * concpit
dolrem, et pperit iniquittem.
Psalm 7
O Lord my God, I have hoped in thee: *
save me from all that persecute me, and
deliver me.
Lest at any time he snatch away my soul as
a lion, * whilst there is none to redeem,
nor to save me.
O Lord my God, if I have done this: * if
there be iniquity in my hands:
If I have repaid to them that returned me
evils: * let me deservedly fall empty
before mine enemies.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and seize
it, and tread down my life on the earth;
* and bring down my glory into the
dust.
Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath: * and be
exalted in the borders of my enemies.
And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept
which thou hast commanded: * and an
assembly of people shall encompass
thee.
And for this return on high: * the Lord
judges the people.
Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice:
* and according to my innocence upon
me.
The wickedness of sinners shall be
consumed, and thou wilt direct the just,
* who searchest the hearts and reins, O
God.
My just help is from the Lord: * who saves
the right of heart.
God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is
he angry every day?
Except ye be converted, he will shake his
sword: * he has bent his bow, and
prepared it:
And in it he has prepared weapons of
death: * he has made his arrows with
fiery points.
Behold he has bred injustice: * he has
conceived sorrow, and brought forth

Lacum apruit, et effdit eum: * et ncidit
in fveam quam fecit.

Converttur dolor eius in caput eius: * et in
vrticem ipsus inquitas eius descndet.

Confitbor Dmino secndum iusttiam
eius: * et psallam nmini Dmini
altssimi.
iniquity.
He has opened a pit and digged it up: * and
he is fallen into the ditch which he
made.
His sorrow shall be turned upon his head: *
and his iniquity shall descend upon his
crown.
I will praise our Lord according to his
justice: * and will sing to the name of
the most high Lord.

Ant. III Nequndo rpiat ut leo nimam
meam, dum non est qui rdimat, neque qui
salvum fciat.

V. A port nferi. R. Erue, Dmine, nimas
erum.

Pater noster, totum secreto.
Lectiones leguntur sine absolutione,
benedictionibus et titulo.
Lectio i Iob 7: 16-21
Parce mihi, Dmine; nihil enim sunt dies
mei. Quid est homo, quia magnficas eum?
aut quid appnas erga eum cor tuum?
Vsitas eum dilculo, et sbito probas illum.
Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimttis me,
ut gltiam salvam meam? Peccvi, quid
fciam tibi, o custos hminum? quare po-
susti me contrrium tibi, et factus sum
mihimetpsi gravis? Cur non tollis pec-
ctum meum, et quare non aufers iniq-
uittem meam? Ecce nunc in plvere dr-
miam: et, si mane me quseris, non sub-
sstam.

Lectiones terminantur sine Tu au-
tem, vel alia conclusione.
R. Credo quod Redmptor meus vivit, et in
novssimo die de terra surrectrus sum, *
Et in carne mea vidbo Deum Salvatrem
meum. V. Quem visrus sum ego ipse, et
non lis; et culi mei conspectri sunt. Et.
Lectio ii Iob 10: 1-7
Tdet nimam meam vit me, dimttam
advrsum me elquium meum, loquar in
amaritdine nim me. Dicam Deo: Noli
me condemnre: ndica mihi cur me ita
idices. Numquid bonum tibi vidtur, si
calumniris me, et pprimas me, opus
mnuum turum, et conslium impirum
Ant. III Lest at any time the enemy snatch
my soul as a lion, whilst there is none to
redeem, nor to save it.

V. From the gate of hell. R. Deliver their
souls, O Lord.

Our Father, said throughout silently.
The Lessons are begun without Ab-
solution, Blessing or title.
Lesson i Job 7: 16-21
Spare me, O Lord, for my days are nothing.
What is man, that thou magnifiest him? or
why settest thou thy heart towards him?
Thou dost visit him early, and suddenly
thou provest him: how long dost thou not
spare me, nor suffer me to swallow my
spittle? I have sinned: what shall I do to
thee, O keeper of men? Why hast thou set
me contrary to thee, and I am become
burthensome to myself ? Why dost thou
not take away my sin, and why dost thou
not take away my iniquity? Behold now I
shall sleep in the dust, and if thou seek me
in the morning, I shall not be.
The Lessons are ended without But
thou, or any other conclusion.
R. I believe that my Redeemer liveth, and
that in the last day I shall rise from the
earth, * And in my flesh I shall see my
Saviour. V. Whom I myself shall see, and
not another, and my eyes shall behold. And.
Lesson ii Job 10: 1-7
My soul is weary of life, and I will let my
speech loose against myself, I will speak in
the bitterness of my soul. I will say to God:
Condemn me not; show me why thou
judgest me so? Does it seem good to thee,
if thou calumniate me, and oppress me, the
work of thy hands, and help the design of

diuves? Numquid culi crnei tibi sunt;
aut, sicut videt homo, et tu vidbis? Num-
quid sicut dies hminis dies tui, et anni tui
sicut humna sunt tmpora, ut quras iniq-
uittem meam, et pecctum meum scru-
tris? Et scias quia nihil mpium fcerim,
cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit
erere.
R. Qui Lzarum resuscitsti a monumnto
ftidum, * Tu eis, Dmine, dona rquiem,
et locum indulgnti. V. Qui ventrus es
iudicre vivos et mrtuos, et sxculum per
ignem. Tu.
Lectio iii Iob 10: 8-12
Manus tu fecrunt me, et plasmavrunt
me totum in circitu: et sic repnte prcpi-
tas me? Memnto, quso, quod sicut lutum
fceris me, et in plverem redces me.
Nonne sicut lac mulssti me, et sicut
cseum me coagulsti? Pelle et crnibus
veststi me, ssibus et nervis compegsti
me. Vitam et misericrdiam tribusti mihi,
et visittio tua custodvit spritum meum.

R. Dmine, quando vneris iudicre ter-
ram, ubi me abscndam a vultu ir tu? *
Quia peccvi nimis in vita mea. V. Com-
mssa mea pavsco, et ante te erubsco:
dum vneris iudicre, noli me condemnre.
Quia. Rquiem trnam dona eis, Dmine:
et lux perptua lceat eis. Quia.

Si vero Laudes omnino omittantur,
post ultimum responsorium dicuntur
Pater noster et preces, ut infra (22).

In II Nocturno
Pro feria III et VI
Ant. IV In loco pscu * ibi me collocvit.

Psalmus 22
Dminus regit me, et nihil mihi derit: * in
loco pscu ibi me collocvit.

Super aquam refectinis educvit me: *
nimam meam convrtit.
Dedxit me super smitas iustti: *
propter nomen suum.
Nam, et si ambulvero in mdio umbr
mortis, non timbo mala: * quniam tu
the impious? hast thou eyes of flesh; or as a
man sees, shalt thou also see? Are thy days
as the days of man; and are thy years as the
times of men, that thou shouldst seek my
iniquity, and search my sin? And thou mayst
know that I have done no impious thing;
whereas there is no man that can escape
out of thy hand.
R. Thou who didst raise Lazarus fetid from
the grace. * Thou, O Lord, give them rest,
and a place of pardon. V. Who art to come
to judge the living and the dead, and the
world by fire. Thou.
Lesson iii Job 10: 8-12
Thy hands have made me, and framed me,
wholly round about; and dost thou thus
suddenly cast me down headlong? Remem-
ber, I beseech thee, that as clay thou didst
make me, and into dust thou wilt bring me
again. Hast thou not milked me like milk,
and curdled me like cheese? With skin and
flesh hast thou clothed me: with bones and
sinews hast thou bound me. Life and mercy
thou hast given me, and thy visitation has
kept my spirit.
R. O Lord, when thou shalt come to judge
the earth, where shall I hide myself from
the face of thy wrath? * For I have sinned
exceedingly in my life. V. I dread my mis-
deeds, and blush before thee: do not con-
demn me, when thou shalt come to judge.
For. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and
let perpetual light shine on them. For.
Lauds (16), are said here when the
Office is of one Nocturn.
But when Lauds are not said, after
the third Responsory the Our Father
and preces are said, (22).

2nd Nocturn
For Tuesday and Friday
Ant. IV In a place of pasture, * he has put
me there.
Psalm 22
The Lord rules me, and I shall want
nothing: * in a place of pasture, he has
put me there.
Near the refreshing waters, he has brought
me up: * and has converted my soul.
He has conducted me in the paths of
justice, * for his name's sake.
For though I shall walk in the midst of the
shadow of death, I will not fear evils: *

mecum es.
Virga tua, et bculus tuus: * ipsa me
consolta sunt.
Parsti in conspctu meo mensam, *
advrsus eos, qui trbulant me.
Impingusti in leo caput meum: * et calix
meus inbrians quam prclrus est!

Et misericrdia tua subsequtur me *
mnibus dibus vit me.
Et ut inhbitem in domo Dmini, * in
longitdinem dirum.
because thou art with me.
Thy rod and thy staff: * they have
comforted me.
Thou hast prepared in my sight a table: *
against them that afflict me.
Thou hast annointed my head with oil: *
and my inebriating cup, how excellent is
it!
And thy mercy shall follow me: * all the
days of my life.
And that I may dwell in the house of the
Lord: * for length of days.

Ant. IV In loco pscu ibi me collocvit.

Ant. V Delcta * iuventtis me, et
ignorntias meas ne memneris, Dmine.
Ant. IV In a place of pasture, he has put
me there.
Ant. V The offences * of my youth, and
my ignorances, remember not, O Lord.

Psalmus 24
Ad te, Dmine, levvi nimam meam: *
Deus meus, in te confdo, non
erubscam.
Neque irrdeant me inimci mei: * tenim
univrsi, qui sstinent te, non
confundntur.
Confundntur omnes inqua agntes *

Vias tuas, Dmine, demnstra mihi * et
smitas tuas doce me.
Drige me in veritte tua, et doce me: * quia
tu es, Deus, Salvtor meus, et te sustnui
tota die.
Reminscere miseratinum turum,
Dmine, * et misericordirum turum,

Secndum misericrdiam tuam memnto

Propter nomen tuum, Dmine,
propitiberis peccto meo: * multum est
Psalm 24
To thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul: *
my God, in thee I put my trust, let me
not be ashamed.
Neither let my enemies insult over me: *
for all that hope in thee shall not be
confounded.
Let all be confounded: * who vainly do
unjust things.
Show me thy ways, O Lord: * and teach me
thy paths.
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me: *
because thou art God my Saviour, and
thee I have expected all the day.
Remember thy compassions, O Lord: * and
thy mercies that are from the beginning
of the world.
The sins of my youth: * and my ignorances,
remember not.
According to thy mercy do thou remember
me: * for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

The Lord is sweet and righteous: * for this
cause he will give a law to them that sin
in the way.
He will direct the mild in judgment: * he
will teach the meek his ways.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and
truth: * to them that seek his testament
and his testimonies.
For thy name, O Lord, thou wilt be
propitious to my sin: * for it is great.

Quis est homo qui timet Dminum? *

Anima eius in bonis demorbitur: * et

Firmamntum est Dminus timntibus

Oculi mei semper ad Dminum: * quniam

Rspice in me, et miserre mei: * quia

Who is the man that fears the Lord? * he
appoints him a law in the way he has
chosen.
His soul shall abide in good things: * and
his seed shall inherit the land.
The Lord is a support to them that fear
him: * and that his testament may be
manifested to them.
My eyes are ever towards the Lord: * for he
shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on
me; * for I am alone and poor.
The tribulations of my heart are multiplied:
* deliver me from my necessities.
See my humiliation and my labour: * and
remit all my sins.
Look upon my enemies, for they are
multiplied: * and with unjust hatred they
hated me.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: * I shall not
be ashamed, because I have hoped in
thee.
The innocent and righteous have adhered
to me: * because I have expected thee.
Deliver Israel, O God, * out of all his
tribulations.

Psalmus 26
Dminus illumintio mea, et salus mea, *

Psalm 26
The Lord is my light and my salvation: *
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the protector of my life: * who
shall make me tremble?
Whilst the wicked approach to me: * to
devour my flesh.
My enemies that afflict me: * themselves
are weakened and are fallen.
If camps stand against me: * my heart shall
not fear.
If battle rise up against me: * in this will I
hope.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, this
will I seek: * that I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life.
That I may see the delight of the Lord: *

Quniam abscndit me in tabernculo suo:
* in die malrum protxit me in

In petra exaltvit me: * et nunc exaltvit

Exudi, Dmine, vocem meam, qua

Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisvit te fcies

Ne avrtas fciem tuam a me, * ne declnes

Aditor meus esto: * ne derelnquas me,

and visit his temple.
Because he has hid me in his tabernacle: *
in the day of evils he has protected me
in the secret of his tabernacle.
On a rock he has exalted me: * and now he
hath exalted my head above my
enemies.
I have gone round, and have immolated in
his tabernacle a host of loud
acclamation: * I will sing and say a
psalm to the Lord.
Hear my voice, O Lord, wherewith I have
cried to thee: * have mercy on me, and
hear me.
My heart has spoken to thee, my face has
sought thee out: * thy face, O Lord, I
will seek.
Hide not thy face from me: * turn not away
in wrath from thy servant.
Be thou my helper: * forsake me not, nor
despise me, O God my Saviour.

Because my father and my mother have
forsaken me: * but the Lord has
received me.
Set me a law, O Lord, in thy way; * and
direct me in the right paths, because of
my enemies.
Deliver me not to the will of them that
afflict me; * because unjust witnesses
have risen up against me, and iniquity
has lied to itself.
I believe I shall see the good things of the
Lord * in the land of the living.
Expect the Lord, do manfully: * and let thy
heart take courage, and expect thou the
Lord.

Homo natus de mulere, brevi vivens

R. Hei mihi, Dmine, quia peccvi nimis in

thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.
For thou writest bitter things against me,
and wilt consume me for the sins of my
youth. Thou hast put my feet in the stocks,
and hast observed all my paths, and hast
considered the steps of my feet: Who am
to be consumed as rottenness, and as a
garment that is motheaten.
R. Remember me, O God, because my life
is but wind: * Nor may the sight of man
behold me. V. From the depths I have cried
to thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. Nor.
Lesson v Job 14: 1-6
Man born of a woman, living for a short
time, is filled with many miseries. Who
cometh forth like a flower, and is de-
stroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never
continueth in the same state. And dost thou
think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an
one, and to bring him into judgment with
thee? Who can make him clean that is con-
ceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who
only art? The days of man are short, and
the number of his months is with thee:
thou hast appointed his bounds which
cannot be passed. Depart a little from him,
that he may rest, until his wished for day
come, as that of the hireling.
R. Woe is me, O Lord, because I have
sinned exceedingly in my life: O wreth,
what shall I do, wither shall I fly but to
thee, my God? * Have mercy on me when
thou comest at the latter day. V. My soul is
greatly troubled; but thou, O Lord, succour
it. Have.
Lesson iv Iob 14: 8-6
Who will grant me this, that thou mayest
protect me in hell, and hide me till thy
wrath pass, and appoint me a. time when
thou wilt remember me? Shall man that is
dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days
in which I am now in warfare, I expect until
my change come. Thou shalt call me, and I
will answer thee: to the work of thy hands
thou shalt reach out thy right hand. Thou
indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare
my sins.
R. Remember not my sins, O Lord, *
When thou shalt come to judge the world
by fire. V. Direct, O Lord, my God, my way
in thy sight. When. Eternal rest give to
them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine
on them. When.

Psalmus 39
Exspctans exspectvi Dminum, * et
intndit mihi.
Et exaudvit preces meas: * et edxit me de
lacu misri, et de luto fcis.

Et sttuit super petram pedes meos: * et

Et immsit in os meum cnticum novum *

Vidbunt multi, et timbunt: * et sperbunt

Multa fecsti tu, Dmine, Deus meus,

Annuntivi et loctus sum: * multiplicti
sunt super nmerum.
Sacrifcium et oblatinem nolusti: * aures

Holocustum et pro peccto non postulsti:
* tunc dixi: Ecce vnio.

In cpite libri scriptum est de me ut
fcerem volunttem tuam: * Deus meus,
vlui, et legem tuam in mdio cordis
mei.
Annuntivi iusttiam tuam in ecclsia
magna, * ecce lbia mea non prohibbo:
Dmine, tu scisti.

Iusttiam tuam non abscndi in corde meo:

Non abscndi misericrdiam tuam et

Psalm 39
With expectation I have waited for the
Lord, * and he inclined unto me.
And he heard my prayers: * and he brought
me also out of the horrible pit, out of
the mire and clay.
And he hath set my feet upon the rock, *
and ordered my goings.
And he hath put a new canticle in my
mouth, * even a song unto our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, * and shall put
their trust in the Lord.
Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in
the Name of the Lord, * and who hath
not turned unto vanity, and to lying
follies.
O Lord my God, great are the wondrous
works which thou hast done, * and in
thy thoughts there is no one like unto
thee.
I have declared and I have spoken: * they
are multiplied above number.
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, *
but mine ears hast thou opened.
Burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin hast
thou not required: * then said I, Lo, I
come;
In the volume of the book it is written of
me, that I should fulfil thy will, * O my
God, I am content to do it; yea, thy law
is within my heart.
I have declared thy righteousness in the
great congregation: * lo, I will not
refrain my lips, O Lord, and that thou
knowest.
I have not hid thy righteousness within my
heart; * I have declared thy truth and thy
salvation.
I have not concealed thy loving mercy and
truth * from the great congregation.
Withdraw not thou thy mercy from me, O
Lord; * thy loving-kindness and thy

For evils without number are come about

Yea, they are more in number than the

failed me.
O Lord, let it be thy pleasure to deliver me;

Let them be ashamed, and confounded

rebuke, * that wish me evil.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be

Ant. VIII Heal my soul, O Lord, because I
have sinned against thee.
Ant. IX My soul has thirsted * after the
living God: when shall I come and appear
before the face of the Lord?

In voce exsultatinis, et confessinis: *
sonus epulntis.
Quare tristis es, nima mea? * et quare
contrbas me?
Psalm 41
Like as the hart desireth the water-brooks,
* so longeth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the
strong, living God: * when shall I come
to appear before the presence of God?
My tears have been my meat day and night,
* while they daily say unto me, Where is
now thy God?
These things I remembered, and poured
out my soul within me; * for I shall go
over into the place of the wondrous
tabernacle, even unto the house of God.
In the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *
the sound of one keeping holy-day.
Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why
dost thou trouble me?


Ad mepsum nima mea conturbta est: *
proptrea memor ero tui de terra
Iordnis, et Hermniim a monte
mdico.
Abyssus abyssum nvocat, * in voce
cataractrum turum.
Omnia exclsa tua, et fluctus tui * super me
transirunt.
In die mandvit Dminus misericrdiam
suam: * et nocte cnticum eius.

Apud me ortio Deo vit me, * dicam
Deo: Suscptor meus es.

Quare obltus es mei? * et quare
contristtus incdo, dum afflgit me
inimcus?
Dum confringntur ossa mea, *
exprobravrunt mihi qui trbulant me
inimci mei.
Dum dicunt mihi per sngulos dies: Ubi est
Deus tuus? * quare tristis es, nima mea?
et quare contrbas me?

O put thy trust in God, for I will yet praise
him, * the salvation of my countenance,
and my God.
My soul is vexed within me; * therefore will
I remember thee from the land of
Jordan, from Hermon and the little hill.

The deep calleth on the deep, * at the noise
of thy water-floods.
All thy waves and storms * are gone over
me.
The Lord hath commanded his mercy in
the daytime; * and a canticle to him in
the night season.
The prayer to the God of my life is with
me, * I will say unto God: Thou dost
uphold me.
Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go
I mourning, whilst the enemy
oppresseth me?
Whilst my bones are smitten asunder, *
mine enemies that trouble me have
reproached me.
While they say daily unto me: Where is now
thy God? * why art thou sad, O my
soul? and why dost thou trouble me?
O put thy trust in God, for I will yet praise
him, * the salvation of my countenance,
and my God.

ing God: when shall I come and appear
before the face of the Lord?

V. Deliver not to beasts the souls that

Lesson vii Job 17: 1-3; 11-15
My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be
shortened, and only the grave remaineth
for me. I have not sinned, and my eye abi-
deth in bitterness. Deliver me O Lord, and
set me beside thee, and let any mans hand
fight against me. My days have passed away,
my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my
heart. They have turned night into day, and
after darkness I hope for light again. If I
wait hell is my house, and I have made my
bed in darkness. If I have said to rotten-

mini mei, saltem vos, amci mei, quia manus

sicut Deus, et crnibus meis saturmini?
Quis mihi trbuat ut scribntur sermnes
mei? quis mihi det ut exarntur in libro,
stylo frreo et plumbi lmina, vel celte
sculpntur in slice? Scio enim quod
redmptor meus vivit, et in novssimo die
de terra surrectrus sum: et rursum cir-
cmdabor pelle mea, et in carne mea
vidbo Deum meum. Quem visrus sum
ego ipse, et culi mei conspectri sunt, et
non lius: repsita est hc spes mea in sinu
meo.

R. Dmine, secndum actum meum noli

egi; deo dprecor maiesttem tuam, * Ut
tu, Deus, dleas iniquittem meam. V. Am-
plius lava me, Dmine, ab iniusttia mea, et
a delcto meo munda me. Ut.

Lectio ix Iob 10: 18-22
Quare de vulva eduxsti me? qui tinam

Fussem quasi non essem, de tero tran-
sltus ad tmulum. Numquid non pucitas

umbra mortis et nullus ordo, sed sempitr-
nus horror inhbitat.

Sequens responsorium tunc ponitur,
quando dictus fuerit tertius Nocturnus
tantum pro Defunctis.
R. Lbera me, Dmine, de viis infrni, qui
ness: Thou art my father; to worms, my
mother and my sister. Where is now then
my expectation, and who considereth my
patience?
R. The fear of death troubles me: sinning
daily and not repenting: * Because in hell
there is no redemption, have mercy on me,
O God, and save me. V. O God, in thy
name save me, and in thy strength deliver
me. Because.
Lesson viii Job 19: 20-27
My flesh being consumed, my bone has
cleaved to my skin, and there are left only
lips about my teeth. Have mercy on me,
have mercy on me, at least you my friends,
because the hand of the Lord has touched
me. Why do you persecute me as God, and
are glutted with my flesh? Who will grant
me that my words may be written? Who
will grant me that they may be drawn in a
book, with an iron pen, and on a plate of
lead, or else be graven with steel on a flint
stone? For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the last day I shall rise out of
the earth: and I shall be encompassed again
with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see
God my Saviour, whom I myself shall see,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another:
this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
R. Judge me not, O Lord, according to my
deeds, for I have done nothing worthy in
thy sight: therefore I beseech thy majesty, *
That thou, O God, mayest blot out my
iniquity. V. Wash me, O Lord, yet more
from my injustice, and cleanse me from my
sin. That.
Lesson ix Iob 10: 18-22
Why didst thou bring me forth out of the
womb: O that I had been consumed that
eye might not see me! I should have been
as if I had not been, carried from the
womb to the grave. Shall not the fewness
of my days be ended shortly? suffer me,
therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a
little: Before I go, and return no more, to a
land that is dark and covered with the mist
of death: A land of misery and darkness,
where the shadow of death, and no order,
but everlasting horror dwelleth.
The following Responsory is said
when only the third Nocturn is said:
R. Deliver me, O Lord, from the ways of
hell, thou who hast broken the brazen

Then, if Lauds is entirely omitted,

In mystic self-indifference.
The bonds of love, which naught can part,
The Mothers heart with his unite;
His fires of love do hers ignite
And hers reenter straight his heart.
Ant. O Victim of love, most loving Heart
of Jesus, sacrificed for our sins, afflicted
and neglected by an ungrateful mankind,
covert us, give us life, inflame us with thy
love.

SEVEN PENITENTIAL PSALMS

Sicubi recitentur in choro, congrue
dicuntur post Matutinum et Laudes diei
flexis genibus, dicto Benedicmus
Dmino et Deo grtias; extra chorum
pro temporis opportunitate.

Litani Sanctorum, sine psalmis
pnitentialibus, sed cum suis precibus,
dicend sunt in Litaniis maioribus et
minoribus, iuxta proprias rubricas, nec
duplicantur, nec anticipari possunt de
sero.

Ant. Ne reminiscris, * Dmine, delcta
nostra vel parntum nostrrum, neque
vindctam sumas de pecctis nostris.
1 Psalmus 6
ut in Completorium de feria II P41.

2 Psalmus 31
Beti quorum remss sunt iniquittes: * et
quorum tecta sunt peccta.
Betus vir, cui non imputvit Dminus
pecctum, * nec est in spritu eius dolus.

Quniam tcui, inveteravrunt ossa mea, *
dum clamrem tota die.
Quniam die ac nocte gravta est super me
manus tua: * convrsus sum in rmna
mea, dum confgitur spina.
Delctum meum cgnitum tibi feci: * et
iniusttiam meam non abscndi.
Dixi: Confitbor advrsum me iniusttiam
meam Dmino: * et tu remissti
impiettem peccti mei.
Pro hac orbit ad te omnis sanctus, * in
tmpore opportno.
Vermtamen in dilvio aqurum multrum,
* ad eum non approximbunt.
Tu es refgium meum a tribulatine, qu
circmdedit me: * exsulttio mea, erue
me a circumdntibus me.

When recited in choir, they are
fittingly said kneeling after Matins and
Lauds of the day, having said Let us
bless the Lord and Thanks be to God;
outside of choir they may be said at an
opportune time.
The Litany of the Saints, without the
penitential psalms, but with their
prayers, are said at the major and minor
Litanies, according to the rubrics,
neither being duplicated nor
anticipated at a late hour.

Ant. Remember not, * Lord, our offenses,
nor the offenses of our forefathers, nor
take thou vengeance upon them.
1 Psalm 6
as in Compline of Monday P41.

2 Psalm 31
Blessed are they whose iniquities are
forgiven: * and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord
hath not imputed sin: * and in whose
spirit there is no guile.
Because I was silent my bones grew old: *
whilst I cried out all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was heavy
upon me: * I am turned in my anguish,
while the thorn is fastened.
I have acknowledged my sin unto thee: *
and mine iniquity I have not concealed.
I said: I will confess against myself mine
iniquity unto the Lord: * and thou hast
forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
For this shall every one that is holy pray to
thee: * in a seasonable time.
And yet in a flood of many waters, * they
shall not come night unto him.
Thou art my refuge from the trouble
which hath encompassed me: * my joy,
deliver me from them that surround
Penitential Psalms *22

Intellctum tibi dabo, et nstruam te in via
hac, qua gradiris: * firmbo super te
culos meos.

Nolte feri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus

In camo et freno maxllas erum
constrnge: * qui non apprximant ad te.
Multa flaglla peccatris, * sperntem
autem in Dmino misericrdia

Ltmini in Dmino et exsultte, iusti, * et

Glria Patri.

3 Psalmus 37

Quniam sagtt tu infx sunt mihi: * et
confirmsti super me manum tuam.
Non est snitas in carne mea a fcie ir
tu: * non est pax ssibus meis a fcie
peccatrum merum.
Quniam iniquittes me supergrss sunt
caput meum: * et sicut onus grave
gravt sunt super me.
Putrurunt et corrpt sunt cicatrces me,
* a fcie insipinti me.
Miser factus sum, et curvtus sum usque in
finem: * tota die contristtus
ingredibar.

Quniam lumbi mei implti sunt
illusinibus: * et non est snitas in carne
mea.
Afflctus sum, et humilitus sum nimis: *
rugibam a gmitu cordis mei.

Dmine, ante te omne desidrium meum: *
et gmitus meus a te non est
abscnditus.
Cor meum conturbtum est, derelquit me
virtus mea: * et lumen oculrum
merum, et ipsum non est mecum.
Amci mei, et prximi mei * advrsum me
appropinquavrunt, et stetrunt.
Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetrunt: *
et vim facibant qui qurbant nimam
meam.
Et qui inquirbant mala mihi, locti sunt
me.
I will give thee understanding, and I will
instruct thee in this way:, in which thou
shalt go: * I will fix mine eyes upon
thee.
Be not as the horse and the mule: * that
have no understanding.
With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws: *
who come not near unto thee.
Many are the scourges of the sinner: * but
mercy shall encompass him that
hopeth in the Lord.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just: *
and be joyful, all ye that are right of
heart.
Glory be.

3 Psalm 37
Put me not to rebuke, O Lord, in thine
anger; * neither chasten me in thy
heavy displeasure.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, * and
thy hand hath pressed me sore.
There is no health in my flesh, because of
thy displeasure; * neither is there any
rest in my bones, by reason of my sin.
For my wickednesses are gone over my
head, * and like a sore burden, are
become heavy upon me.
My wounds stink and are corrupt, *
because of my foolishness.
I am brought into so great misery, that I
am bowed down even unto the
end: * and I go mourning all the day
long.
For my loins are filled with illusions, * and
there is no health in my flesh.

I am afflicted and sore smitten; * I have
roared for the very disquietness of my
heart.
Lord, thou knowest all my desire; * and
my groaning is not hid from thee.

My heart is troubled, my strength hath
failed me, * and the light of mine eyes
is gone from me.
My friends and my neighbours * have
drawn near, and stood against me.
And they that were near me stood afar
off: * and they also that sought after
my life dealt violence.
And they that sought evils to me talked of
*23 Penitential Psalms

vanittes: * et dolos tota die
meditabntur.
Ego autem tamquam surdus non audibam:
* et sicut mutus non apriens os suum.

Et factus sum sicut homo non udiens: * et
non habens in ore suo redargutines.
Quniam in te, Dmine, spervi: * tu
exudies, Dmine, Deus meus.
Quia dixi: Nequndo supergudeant mihi
inimci mei: * et dum commovntur
pedes mei, super me magna locti sunt.

Quniam ego in flaglla partus sum: * et
dolor meus in conspctu meo semper.
Quniam iniquittem meam annuntibo: *
et cogitbo pro peccto meo.
Inimci autem mei vivunt, et confirmti
sunt super me: * et multiplicti sunt qui
odrunt me inque.
Qui retrbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahbant
mihi: * quniam sequbar bonittem.

Ne derelnquas me, Dmine, Deus meus: *
ne discsseris a me.
Intnde in adiutrium meum, * Dmine,
Deus, saltis me.
Glria Patri.

4 Psalmus 50 ut
in Laudes II.

5 Psalmus 101
Dmine, exudi oratinem meam: * et
clamor meus ad te vniat.
Non avrtas fciem tuam a me: * in
quacmque die trbulor, inclna ad me
aurem tuam.
In quacmque die invocvero te: * velciter
exudi me.
Quia defecrunt sicut fumus dies mei: * et
ossa mea sicut crmium arurunt.

Percssus sum ut fnum, et ruit cor

panem meum.
A voce gmitus mei: * adhxsit os meum

Similis factus sum pellicno solitdinis: *

Vigilvi, * et factus sum sicut passer
solitrius in tecto.
vain things: * and imagined deceit all
the day long.
As for me, I was like a deaf man, and
heard not; * and as one that is dumb,
who doth not open his mouth.
I became even as a man that heareth not,
* and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
For in thee, O Lord, have I put my trust; *
thou shalt hear me, O Lord my God.
For I have said: Lest ever mine enemies
should triumph over me; * for when
my foot slipped, they spake great
things against me.
For I am ready for scourges, * and my
sorrow is ever in my sight.
For I will confess my wickedness, * and be
sorry for my sin.
But mine enemies live, and are mightier
than I; * and they that hate me
wrongfully are multiplied.
They also that reward evil for good are
against me; * because I follow the
thing that is good.
Forsake me not, O Lord my God; * do
not thou depart from me.
Haste thee to help me, * O Lord God of
my salvation.
Glory be.

4 Psalm 50
as in Lauds 2.

5 Psalm 101
O Lord, hear my prayer, * and let my cry
come unto thee.
Turn not away thy face from me: * in the
time of my trouble, incline thine ear
unto me.
In what day soever I shall call upon thee, *
O hear me, and that right soon.
For my days are consumed away like
smoke, * and my bones are grown dry
like as fuel for the fire.
I am smitten like grass, and my heart is
withered; * so that I forget to eat my
bread.
For the voice of my groaning, * my bones
will scarce cleave to my flesh.
I am become like a pelican in the
wilderness, * yea, I am like a night
raven that is in the house.
I have watched, * and am even as it were a
sparrow, that sitteth alone upon the
Penitential Psalms *24

Tota die exprobrbant mihi inimci mei: * et
qui laudbant me, advrsum me
iurbant.
Quia cnerem tamquam panem
manducbam, * et potum meum cum
fletu miscbam.
A fcie ir et indignatinis tu: * quia
levans allissti me.

Et timbunt gentes nomen tuum, Dmine:

Mine enemies reviled me all the day long;
* and they that are praised me are
sworn together against me.
For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, *
and mingled my drink with weeping.

Because of thy wrath and indignation; *
for thou hast taken me up, and cast me
down.
My days have declined like a shadow, *
and I am withered like grass.
But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever, *
and thy remembrance throughout all
generations.
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon
Sion; * for it is time that thou have
mercy upon her, yea, the time is come.
For the stones thereof have pleased thy
servants: * and they shall have pity on
the earth thereof.
The nations shall fear thy Name, O Lord;
* and all the kings of the earth thy
glory.
For the Lord hath built up Sion, * and he
shall be seen in his glory.
He hath turned him unto the prayer of
the humble, * and hath despised not
their petition.
Let these things be written for another
generation, * and the people which
shall be created shall praise the Lord.
For he hath looked down from his high
sanctuary; * out of the heaven did the
Lord behold the earth;
That he might hear the groans of such as
are in fetters, * and release the children
of the slain.
That they may declare the Name of the
Lord in Sion, * and his worship at
Jerusalem;
When the peoples are gathered together, *
and the kings also, to serve the Lord.
He answered him in the way of his
strength, * Declare unto me the
fewness of my days.
Call me not away in the midst of my days;
* thy years endure throughout all
generations.
Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth, * and the
heavens are the work of thy hands.
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: *

it out with all his might.
O God, from whom come holy desires,
right counsels, and good works, give to thy
servants that peace which the world cannot
give; so that our hearts may be dedicated to
the observances of thy law, freed from fear
of our enemies, and tranquil in the knowl-
edge of thy protection.
O Lord, inflame our affections and our
understanding with the fire of the Holy
Ghost, that we may serve thee with a chaste
body and please thee with a pure heart.
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all
the faithful, grant to the souls of thy de-
parted servants remission of all sins; and by
our fervent prayers may they obtain the
pardon they have always desired.

We beg thee, O Lord, let a breath of thy
grace prompt our undertakings and guide
them along their course, so that our least
prayer and work may ever begin in and end
in thee.
Almighty everlasting God, Lord of both
the living and the dead; deal mercifully with
all whom thee foresee shall be thine by
faith and good works. Hear us, thy lowly
servants, and grant that those for whom we
earnestly offer our prayers, whether this
present world still detains them in flesh or
the world to come has already claimed their
souls, may obtain pardon of all their sins,
through thy mercy and goodness and
through the intercession of thy Saints.
Through our Lord.
