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

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-

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);
d) each church, or public or semi-public
oratory that takes the place of a church
(n. 45);

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-
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.

Of a Virgin to proceed,
Man with man in converse blending,
Scattered he the Gospel seed,
Till his sojourn drew to ending,
Which he closed in wondrous deed.
At the last great Supper lying,
Circled by his brethren's band,
Meekly with the law complying,
First he finished its command,
Then, immortal Food supplying,
Gave himself with his own hand.
Word-made-Flesh, by word he maketh
Very bread his Flesh to be;
Man in wine Christ's Blood partaketh,
And if senses fail to see,
Faith alone the true heart waketh
To behold the mystery.
If the Office be recited in the pres-
ence of the exposed Sacrament, the
following stanza is said kneeling.
Therefore we, before him bending,
This great Sacrament revere;
Types and shadows have their ending,
For the newer Rite is here;
Faith, our outward sense befriending,
Makes the inward vision clear.
Glory, let us give, and blessing,
To the Father, and the Son;
Honour, might, and praise addressing,
While eternal ages run;
Ever too his Love confessing,
Who from Both, with Both, is One.
Amen.

V. Thou hast given them bread from

Prayer (Collect)

Hymn
The Word proceedeth from above,
Yet leaving not the Father's side,
Went forth upon his work of love,
And reached at length life's eventide.
Ere a disciple him betrayed,
To die the death of pain and strife,
He first for all disciples made,
Himself their living Bread of Life.
In two-fold form of Sacrament
He gave his Flesh, he gave his Blood,
That man, of two-fold substance blent,
Might wholly feed on him as food.
Our Brother thus in birth was he,
Our Food while seated at the board:
He died our Ransomer to be,
He reigns to be our great reward.
O Saving Victim opening wide
The gate of heaven to man below:
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.

For evermore, blest One in Three;
O grant us life that shall not end
In our true native land with thee. Amen.

Hymn
See how the haughty, savage horde
Of mankind's sins doth wound the Lord,
And pierce his Heart which, innocent,
Could ne'er deserve such punishment.
Unsteady was the soldier's lance,
But mankind's sins firmed its advance;
Its point was barbed by mortal sin
Which our own malice drave straight in.
That pierced Heart's engendering flood
Begat the Church from Christ's own blood:
Salvation's ark thus opened wide
Its door to man, set in Christ's side.
Unceasing grace there from doth flow,
And forth in seven-fold stream doth go
To wash our robes, and make them white,
In that Lamb's blood of quickening might.
What shame those whited robes to stain!

O Lord, thus thou Law's temple art;
Its Holy Place, thy Sacred Heart;
Whose rended veil doth well unfold
A worth beyond Law's shrine of old.
Thus willed thy love to open wide
A wound upon thy sacred side,
Through which to shew how sins impart
Wounds else unseen, hid in thy Heart.
Its blood and water, two-fold sign,
Shew priestly sacrifice divine,
First offered on the bloody Tree,
Now on our altars bloodlessly.
Though sinners, thou didst die for us!
Who can but love one loving thus?
Thou, in thy Heart, hast made a place
Of refuge for our lawless race.

Hymn
See how the haughty, savage horde
Of mankind's sins doth wound the Lord,
And pierce his Heart which, innocent,
Could ne'er deserve such punishment.
Unsteady was the soldier's lance,
But mankind's sins firmed its advance;
Its point was barbed by mortal sin
Which our own malice drave straight in.
That pierced Heart's engendering flood
Begat the Church from Christ's own blood
Salvation's ark thus opened wide
Its door to man, set in Christ's side.
Unceasing grace there from doth flow,

things unto me: * and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation unto

mindful of his mercy.
As he spake to our fathers: * to Abraham,

break of day.
For thee my soul hath thirsted: * for thee
my flesh longeth, O how exceedingly!
In a desert and pathless land where no
water is: * so have I come before thee
in thy holy place, that I might see thy
power and thy glory.
For thy mercy is better than life: * my lips
shall praise thee.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and
in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and
fatness: * and my mouth shall praise
thee with joyful lips.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed,
on thee will I meditate in the morning:
* because thou hast been my helper.
And I will rejoice under the covert of thy
wings: my soul hath cleaved unto thee:
* thy right hand hath upheld me.
But they have sought my soul in vain: they
shall go into the lower parts of the
earth: * they shall be delivered into the
hands of the sword: they shall be the
portions of foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they
that swear by him shall be praised: *
because the mouth of them that speak
wicked things is stopped.

Praise him, O ye sun and moon: * praise

Ecce iam noctis tenutur umbra,
Lux et aurr rtilans corscat:
Spplices rerum Dminum canra
Voce precmur:

Ut reos culp misertus omnem
Pellat angrem, trbuat saltem,
Donet et nobis bona sempitrn
Mnera pacis.
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.

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? *

For thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's

Where is now their God?
As for our God, he is in heaven: * he hath

They have mouths, and speak not; * eyes

O blest Creator of the light!
Who dost the dawn from darkness bring;
And framing Natures depth and height,
Didst with the light thy work begin;
Who gently blending eve with morn,
And morn with eve, didst call them day;
Thick flows the flood of darkness down;
Oh, hear us as we weep and pray!
Keep thou our souls from schemes of
crime,
Nor guilt remorseful let them know;
Nor, thinking but on things of time,
Into eternal darkness go.
Teach us to knock at Heavens high door;
Teach us the prize of life to win;
Teach us all evil to abhor,
And purify ourselves within.
Father of mercies! hear our cry;
Hear us, O sole-begotten Son!
Who, with the Holy Ghost most high,
Reignest while endless ages run. Amen.

Brief Lesson
(I Peter 5: 8-9)
Brethren: Be sober and watch: because
your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
goeth about, seeking whom he may de-
vour: whom resist ye, strong in faith.

Glory be to the Father. As it was. Alleluia.

Ant. Have mercy * upon me, O Lord, and
hear my prayer.

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
rest;

Quniam tu, Dmine, singulriter in spe *
constitusti me.

Psalmus 90
Qui hbitat in adiutrio Altssimi, * in

Psalmus 133

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

Psalm 90
He that dwelleth under the defence of the
Most High, * shall abide under the
shadow of the God of heaven.
He shall say unto the Lord, Thou art my
hope, and my stronghold; * my God, in
him will I trust.
For he hath delivered me from the snare of
the hunter, * and from the noisome
pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his wings, *
and thou shalt be safe under his
feathers
His truth shall be thy shield to compass
thee round about; * thou shalt not be
afraid for any terror by night.
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day, for
the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
* nor for the demon that destroyeth in
the 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.

Ant. I Sing joyfully * to God with the
voice of exultation.

Psalm 46
O clap your hands, all ye nations: * O
shout unto God with the voice of joy.
For the Lord is high, and to be feared; * he
is the great King upon all the earth.
He hath subdued the peoples under us, *
and the nations under our feet.
He hath chosen out an heritage for us, *
even the excellency of Jacob, whom he
loved.
God is gone up with a merry noise, * and
the Lord with the sound of the trump.
O sing praises, sing praises unto our God;
* O sing praises, sing praises unto our
King.
For God is the King of all the earth: * sing
ye praises with understanding.
God shall reign over the nations; * God
sitteth upon his holy throne.
The princes of the people are joined unto
the God of Abraham; * for the strong

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.

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.
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.

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,

For in death there is no one that is mindful

The wickedness of sinners shall be brought

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.

Canticle of Tobias
Tob. 13: 1-10
Thou art great, O Lord, for ever, * and thy
kingdom is unto all ages:
For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou
leadest down to hell, and bringest up
again: * and there is none that can
escape thy hand.
Give glory to the Lord, ye children of
Israel, * and praise him in the sight of
the gentiles:
Because he hath therefore scattered you
among the gentiles, who know not him,
* that you may declare his wonderful
works,
And make them know * that there is no
other almighty God besides him.
He hath chastised us for our iniquities: *
and he will save us for his own mercy.

Aspcite ergo qu fecit nobscum, et cum

See then what he hath done with us, and
with fear and trembling give ye glory to
him: * and extol the eternal King of
worlds in your works.
As for me, I will praise him in the land of
my captivity: * because he hath shown
his majesty toward a sinful nation.
Be converted, therefore, ye sinners, and do
justice before God, * believing that he
will show his mercy to you.
And I and my soul * will rejoice in him.
Bless ye the Lord, all his elect: * keep days
of joy, and give glory to him.

Canticle of Ezechias
Is. 38: 10-20
I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go
to the gates of hell.
I sought for the residue of my years: * I
said: I shall not see the Lord God in the
land of the living.
I shall behold man no more, * nor the
inhabitants of rest.
My generation is at an end, and it is rolled
away from me * as a shepherd's tent.
My life is cut off as by a weaver: whilst I
was yet but beginning, he cut me off: *
from morning even to night thou wilt
make an end of me.
I hoped till morning; * as a lion so hath he
broken all my bones:
From morning even till night thou wilt
make an end of me: * I will cry like a
young swallow, I will meditate like a
dove.
My eyes are weakened * looking upward.

Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for
me. * What shall I say, or what shall he
answer for me, whereas he himself hath
done it?
I will recount to thee all my years * in the
bitterness of my soul.
O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life
of my spirit be in such things as these,
thou shalt correct me, and make me
live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness
most bitter.
But thou hast delivered my soul that it
should not perish, * thou hast cast all
my sins behind my back.
For hell shall not confess to thee, neither
shall death praise thee: * nor shall they
that go down into the pit look for thy
truth.
The living, the living, he shall give praise to
thee, as I do this day: * the father shall
make thy truth known to the children.
O Lord, save me, * and we will sing our
psalms all the days of our life in the
house of the Lord.

Psalm 125
When the Lord turned again the captivity
of Sion: * we became like men
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.

Unless the Lord build the house: * they

In vain do ye rise before the light: * rise

Ant. Thou, O Lord, * wilt preserve us:
and keep us for ever.

Psalm 11
Save me, O Lord, for there is no godly
man left: * truths are failing from
among the children of men.
They have spoken vain things every one to
his neighbour: * with deceitful lips, and
with a double heart have they spoken.
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips: *
and the tongue that speaketh proud
things.
Who have said, We will magnify our
tongue: our lips are our own; * who is
Lord over us?
Because of the misery of the needy, and
the groans of the poor: * now will I
arise, saith the Lord.
I will set him in safety: * I will deal
confidently in his regard.
The words of the Lord are pure words: *
as silver tried by the fire, purged from
the earth, refined seven times.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep
us * from this generation for ever.
The wicked walk round about: * according
to thy high counsel, thou hast
multiplied the children of men.

Psalm 12
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

My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation, I will

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
need of my goods.
To the Saints, who are in his land, * he
hath made wonderful all my desires in
them
Their infirmities were multiplied: *
afterwards they made haste.
I will not gather together their meetings for
blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful
of their names by my lips.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance
and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt
restore my inheritance to me.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly
places: * for my inheritance is goodly to
me.
I will bless the Lord, who hath given me
understanding: * moreover, my reins
also have corrected me even till night.
I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he
is at my right hand, that I be not
moved.
Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my
tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover, my
flesh also shall rest in hope.
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell:
* nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see
corruption.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of
life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy
countenance: * at thy right hand are
delights even to the end.

I walked in the innocence of my heart: * in
the midst of my house.
I set not before mine eyes any unjust thing:
* I hated the workers of iniquities.

The perverse heart did not cleave unto me:
* 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.

O Lord, remember David: * and all his
meekness.
How he sware unto the Lord: * and vowed
a vow to the God of Jacob:
If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my
house: * if I shall go up into my bed:
If I shall give sleep to mine eyes: * or
slumber to mine eyelids,
Or rest unto the temples of my head: until
I find a place for the Lord, * a
tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrata: * we found
it in the fields of the wood.
We will go into his tabernacle: * we will
worship in the place where his feet have
stood.
Arise, O Lord, into thy resting-place: *
thou and the ark of thy holiness.
Let thy priests be clothed with justice: *
and let thy Saints rejoice.
For thy servant David's sake: * turn not
away the face of thine Anointed.
The Lord hath sworn the truth unto
David, and he will not make it void: *
of the fruit of thy body I will set upon
thy throne.
If thy children will keep my covenant: *
and these my testimonies which I shall
teach them,
Their children also shall sit upon thy
throne: * for evermore.
For the Lord hath chosen Sion: * he hath
chosen her for his dwelling.
This is my rest for ever and ever: * here
will I dwell, for I have chosen her.
With blessings I will bless her widows: * I
will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will clothe her priests with salvation: *
and her Saints shall rejoice with
exceeding joy.
There will I bring forth a horn unto David:
* I have prepared a lamp for mine
Anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with confusion: *
but upon him shall my sanctification
flourish.
Ant. V The Lord hath chosen Sion for his

O God, whose hand hath spread the sky,
And all its shining hosts on high,
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:
Unloose the hands of guilt within:
Remove the burden of our sin.
Grant this, O Father, ever One
With Christ Thy sole-begotten Son,
Whom, with the Spirit we adore,
One God, both now and evermore.
Amen.

The Lord hath regarded * my lowliness,
and he that is mighty hath done great

Keep thy tongue from evil: * and thy lips
from speaking guile.
Turn away from evil, and do good: * seek
peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: *
and his ears are open unto their prayers.
But the countenance of the Lord is against
them that do evil things: * to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth.
The just cried, and the Lord heard them: *
and delivered them out of all their
troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a
contrite heart: * and he will save the
humble of spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the just: * but
the Lord will deliver them out of them
all.
The Lord keepeth all their bones: * not
one of them shall be broken.
The death of the wicked is very evil: * and
they that hate the just shall be guilty.
The Lord will redeem the souls of his

Sing joyfully unto God, all the earth: * sing,
rejoice, and give praise.
Give praise unto the Lord upon the harp,
upon the harp and with the voice of
psalms: * with the long trumpets, and
sound of the cornet.
Sing joyfully before the Lord our king: * let
the sea be moved, and the fullness
thereof; the compass of the earth, and
they that dwell therein.
The rivers shall clap their hands, the
mountains shall rejoice together, at the
presence of the Lord: * for he cometh
to judge the earth.

Psalm 89
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
ten.
But if the strong they be fourscore years: *
and what is more of them is labour and
sorrow.
For humiliation is come upon us, * and we
shall be corrected.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger, *
and for thy fear who can number thy
wrath?
So make thy right hand known, * and the
learned in heart in wisdom.
Return, O Lord, how long? * and be
entreated in favour of thy servants.
We are filled in the morning with thy
mercy: * and we have rejoiced, and are
delighted all our days.

Ltti sumus pro dibus, quibus nos
humilisti: * annis, quibus vdimus mala.

Rspice in servos tuos, et in pera tua: * et
drige flios erum.
Et sit splendor Dmini Dei nostri super
nos, et pera mnuum nostrrum drige
super nos: * et opus mnuum nostrrum
drige.
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.

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!
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
stand.

For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, * and

And they shall come, and shall give praise
in the mount of Sion: * and they shall
flow together to the good things of the
Lord.
For the corn, and wine, and oil, * and the
increase of cattle and herds.
And their soul shall be as a watered garden,
* and they shall be hungry no more.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, *
the young men and old men together.
And I will turn their mourning into joy, *
and will comfort them, and make them
joyful after their sorrow.
And I will fill the soul of the priests with

The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is

His chosen captains are drowned in the

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

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

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear
him: * and in them that hope in his

Hymn
See the golden sun arise!
Let no more our darkened eyes
Snare us, tangled by surprise
In the maze of sin!
From false words and thoughts impure
Let this Light, serene and sure,
Keep our lips without secure,
Keep our souls within.
So may we the day-time spend,
That, till life's temptations end,
Tongue, nor hand nor eye offend!
One, above us all,
Views in His revealing ray
All we do, and think, and say,
Watching us from break of day
Till the twilight fall.

In holiness * let us serve the Lord, and he
will deliver us from our enemies.

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.

Psalm 84
Thou hast blessed thy land, O Lord: * thou
hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy
people: * thou hast covered all their
sins.
Thou hast softened all thine anger: * thou
hast turned away from the wrath of
thine indignation.
Covert us, O God our Saviour: * and turn
away thine anger from us.
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? * or
wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from
generation to generation?
Thou shalt turn again, O God, and quicken
us: * and thy people shall rejoice in
thee.
Show us thy mercy, O Lord: * and grant us
thy salvation.
I will hearken what the Lord shall say
within me: * for he will speak peace
unto his people.
And unto his saints: * and unto them that
are converted in heart.
Surely his salvation is nigh unto them that
fear him: * that glory may dwell in our
land.
Mercy and truth have met together: *
justice and peace have kissed each
other.
Truth is sprung out of the earth, * and
justice hath looked down from heaven.
For the Lord shall give goodness: * and
our earth shall yield her fruit.
Justice shall walk before him: * and shall
set his steps in the way.

Is. 45: 15-26
Verily thou art a hidden God, * the God of
Israel, the Saviour.
They are all confounded, and ashamed: *
the forgers of errors are gone together
into confusion.
Israel is saved in the Lord with an eternal
salvation: * you shall not be
confounded, and you shall not be
ashamed for ever and ever.
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

Which tells that day itself is near,
And that night's shadows must depart,
So, Holy Light, illume the heart!

And worldly darkness thence expel:

Preserve our souls devout and pure.

O Lord, thy work, * in the midst of the

In the midst of the years thou shalt make it

God will come from the South, * and the
holy one from mount Pharan:
His glory covered the heavens, * and the
earth is full of his praise.
His brightness shall be as the light: * horns

There is his strength hid: * death shall go

And the devil shall go before his feet: * he
stood and measured the earth.
He beheld, and melted the nations: * and
the ancient mountains were crushed to
pieces.
The hills of the world were bowed down, *
by the journeys of his eternity.
I saw the tenets of Ethiopia for their
iniquity: * the curtains of the land of
Madian shall be troubled.
Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers?
* or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or
thy indignation upon the sea?
Who wilt ride upon thy horses: * and thy
chariots are salvation.
Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: *
according to the oaths which thou hast
spoken to the tribes:
Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth: the
mountains saw thee, and were grieved:
* the great body of waters passed away.
The deep put forth its voice: * the deep
lifted up its hands.
The sun and the moon stood still in their
habitation, * in the light of thy arrows,
they shall go in the light of thy glittering
spear.
In thy anger thou wilt treat the earth under
foot: * in thy wrath thou wilt astonish
the nations.
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy
people: * for salvation with thy Christ.
Thou struckest the head of the house of
the wicked: * thou hast laid bare his
foundation even to the neck.
Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of
his warriors, * them that came out as a
whirlwind to scatter me.

Psalm 138, i
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known

Thou hast understood my thoughts afar
off: * my path and my line hast thou
searched out.
Thou hast foreseen also all my ways: * for
there is no speech in my tongue.
Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all
things, the newest, and those of old: *
thou hast formed me, and laid thine
hand upon me,
Thy knowledge is become wonderful unto
me: * it is high, and I cannot reach unto
it.
Wither shall I go from thy spirit? * or
whither shall I flee from thy face?
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.

But to my thy friends, O God, are made

If thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: * ye

Because ye say in thought: * they shall

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.

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:

Et funes extendrunt in lqueum: * iuxta

Dixi Dmino: Deus meus es tu: * exudi,
Dmine, vocem deprecatinis me.

Dmine, Dmine, virtus saltis me: *
obumbrsti super caput meum in die
belli.
Ne tradas me, Dmine, a desidrio meo
peccatri: * cogitavrunt contra me, ne
derelnquas me, ne forte exaltntur.

Caput circitus erum: * labor labirum

Cadent super eos carbnes, in ignem
deicies eos: * in misriis non subsstent.

Vir lingusus non dirigtur in terra: * virum

Cognvi quia fciet Dminus iudcium

Vermtamen iusti confitebntur nmini

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
them.
Burning coals shall fall upon them: thou
shalt cast them down into the fire: * in
their miseries they shall not be able to
stand.
A man full of words shall not be
established in the earth: * evil shall seize
the unjust man unto destruction.
I know the Lord will do justice to the
needy: * and will revenge the poor.
But the just shall give glory to thy name: *
and the upright shall dwell with the
light of thy countenance.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: *

When my spirit failed me: * then thou

Flight hath failed me: * and there is no one

Attend unto my supplication: * for I am
brought very low.
Deliver me from my persecutors: * for they
are stronger than I.
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may

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


The Lord hath put down * the mighty
from their seat, and hath exalted the lowly.

Or will he cut off his mercy for ever? *

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

I remembered the works of the Lord: * for
I will be mindful of thy wonders from

And I will meditate on all thy works: * and
will be employed in thy doings.

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

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

Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for unto

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: *

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

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

In light more bright than any star,
From him who made thee thou hast won
Grace to be Mother of his Son.

Thy holy Scion did retrieve;

Through thee have glimpsed the heavenly

The door through which the Light had
poured;
Thou, Maiden-Mother, Life dost bring
Ye ransomed nations, shout and sing!

the fool understand these things.

Mine eye also hath looked down upon

Hear my prayer, O God, when I make
supplication to thee: * deliver my soul
from the fear of the enemy.
Thou hast protected me from the assembly
of the malignant: * from the multitude
of the workers of iniquity.
For they have whetted their tongues like a
sword: * they have bent their bow a
bitter thing, to shoot in secret the
undefiled.
They will shoot at him on a sudden, and
will not fear: * they are resolute in
words of wickedness.
They have talked of hiding snares: * they
have said: Who shall see them?
They have searched after iniquities: * they
have failed in their search.
Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God
shall be exalted.
The arrows of children are their wounds: *
and their tongues are made weak
against them.
All that saw them were troubled: * and
every man was afraid.
And they declared the works of God: * and
understood his doings.

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.
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

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.
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,

Their grapes are grapes of gall, * and their

Are not these things stored up with me, *

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

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
say: * I live for ever.
If I shall whet my sword as the lightning, *
and my hand shall take hold on

I will render vengeance to my enemies, *
and repay them that hate me.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, *
and my sword shall devour flesh.
Of the blood of the slain, * and of the
captivity, of the bare head of the

And will render vengeance to their

Hymn
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.
Like as night's phantoms swift depart,
Let guilty thoughts forsake the heart;
And every ill, that darkness sought
Beneath its shade, come swift to naught.
So that last morning, dread and great,
Which we with trembling hope await,
With blessed light for us shall glow
Who chant the song we sang below:

Psalm 143, ii
Unto thee, O God, will I sing a new song:
* on the psaltery and an instrument of
ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
Who givest salvation to kings; * who hast
redeemed thy servant David from the
malicious sword; deliver me.
And rescue me out of the hand of strange
children; whose mouth hath spoken
vanity: * and their right hand is the right
hand of iniquity.
Whose sons are as new plants: * in their
youth.
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.

Ant. Let my prayer have entrance * in thy
sight, O Lord.

Psalm 87
O Lord, the God of my salvation: * I have
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.

Saturday at Compline P 3O

Pauper sum ego, et in labribus a iuventte

Circumdedrunt me sicut aqua tota die: *

Misertor, et misricors Dminus: *
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.

Psalm 102, i
Bless the Lord, O my soul: * and let all that
is within me bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul: * and forget
not all his benefits.
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

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
him: * for he knoweth whereof we are
made.
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
heaven: * and his kingdom shall rule
over all.
Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: * ye that
are mighty in strength, and fulfil his
commandment, hearkening to the voice
of his words.
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: * ye
ministers of his that do his will.
Bless the Lord, all ye his works: * in every

O my soul.

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,

And beg, by grace of charity,
To share this Martyr's sanctity. Amen.

To be the Lamb's celestial bride

To dwell amid the virgin choir.

Till in herself, through very grief,
The image of that Spouse appears.

Sickness and health alike obey'd;
May ye our ailing souls once more
To strength and holiness restore.
That Christ the unerring Judge of doom,
When he at time's last end shall come,
May grant us for his mercy's sake,
Of joys eternal to partake.

Little Chapter (Heb. 9: 11-12)
Brethren: Christ being come, a High Priest
of the good things to come, by a greater
and more perfect tabernacle not made with
hands, that is, not of this creation, neither
by the blood of goats or of calves, but by
his own blood, entered once into the Ho-
lies, having obtained eternal redemption.
Hymn
With man's triumphant song God's City's
streets resound,
As young and old there throng God's
courts in joy around;
Let all, in festive state, as gleaming lights
abound,
The wonders of Christ's Blood relate.
Yet nonetheless, let tears commingle with
our joy;
For Christ man's spirit cheers by what did
him destroy;
So let us count the price he paid in death's
employ
By that his bloody sacrifice.
Then mourn we all the sin which Adam's
ruin wrought,
When Satan entered in man's paradise,
and
taught
Mankind the lore of death, till death
redemption brought
Through our new Adam's living Breath.
For God did hear the cry of his dear dying
Son,
Whose sad, expiring sigh was sign of
Victory won;
And hence Christ's Blood doth plead for
every evil done,
And sinners may from sin be freed.
Whoe'er in that pure Blood their soiled
robes shall lave,
Shall in that saving flood both cleanse
themselves, and save,
And roseate beauty bring, which God to
Angels gave,
Well-pleasing to the Angels' King.
Then from the path of right ne'er let thy
footsteps stray,
But walk thou in Christ's sight and
strength
to thy last day,
When he shall give to thee a crown to end
thy way,

Nobis proptius sis, Gnitor potens,
Ut, quos ungen snguine Flii

Hymn
Hail, holy wounds of Jesus, hail,
Sweet pledges of the saving Rood,
Whence flow the streams that never fail,
The purple streams of his dear Blood!
Brighter than brightest stars ye shew;
Than sweetest rose your scent more rare;
No Indian gem may match your glow;
Nor honey's taste with yours compare.
Portals ye are to that dear home
Wherein our wearied souls may hide,
Whereto no angry foe can come,
The Heart of Jesus crucified.
What countless stripes our Jesus bore,
All naked left in Pilate's hall!
From his torn flesh how red a shower
Did round his sacred person fall!
O shame and woe! his comely head
Was riven by a thorny crown;
Upon the Cross, by woundings dread,
His hands and feet were nailed down.
But when for our poor sakes he died,
A willing Priest by love subdued,
And that sharp lance transfixed his side,
Forth flowed the Water and the Blood.
In full atonement of our guilt,
Careless of self, the Saviour trod,
E'en till his Heart's best Blood was spilt,
The wine-press of the wrath of God.
Come, bathe you in the healing flood,
All ye who mourn, by sin oppressed;
Your only hope is Jesus' Blood,
His sacred Heart your only rest.
All praise to him, Eternal Son,
At God's right hand enthroned above,
Whose Blood our full redemption won,
Whose Spirit seals the gift of love. Amen.

V. Being justified by the blood of Christ. R.
We shall be saved from wrath by him.
The blood of the Lamb * shall be unto you
for a sign, saith the Lord: And I shall see
the blood and shall pass over you, and the
plague shall not be upon you.

Thou only Son of God on high,

Again the long-lost coin displayed;
The noble gem of sparkling sheen,
From mire recovered, glows serene.

Forgive the hearts that fain would break
For that repentant sinner's sake.
And may thy Mother kind and meek
Think on our nature frail and weak,
And raise her prayer that we may gain
A passage safe o'er life's rough main.
To God alone be honour paid
For grace so manifold displayed:
Their guilt he pardons who repent,
And gives reward for punishment. Amen.

Hymn
Father of lights! one glance of thine,
Whose eyes the Universe control,
Fills Magdalene with holy love,
And melts the ice within her soul.
Her precious ointment forth she brings,
Upon those sacred Feet to pour;
She washes them with burning tears;
And with her hair she wipes them o'er.
Impassioned to the Cross she clings:
Nor fears beside the tomb to stay;
Nought of its ruffian guard she recks,
For love has cast all fear away.
O Christ, thou very Love itself!
Blest hope of man, through thee forgiven!
So touch our spirits from above,
So purify our souls from Heaven.
To God the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Paraclete, with thee,
As evermore hath been before,
Be glory through eternity. Amen.

He hath made her to dwell in his taberna-

when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the

feet with tears, and wiped them with the
hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed them with the ointment.

O Love of Jesus, sweet and dear,
When to the heart thou dost appear,
Away its clouds and darkness roll,
And sweetness overflows the soul.
How happy he who feels thy light,
Thou Sharer of the Father's might,
True Radiance of our native land,
Surpassing all we understand.
Thou Brightness of the Father's throne,
Goodness that never can be known,
The fulness of thy love impart
By thy true presence in the heart.

For prayer keeps evil's plagues away,
And draws from life its weariness.

That held thy body once in thrall;
For us how many a bond remains!

O God, thy soldiers' great reward,

From all transgressions set us free
Who sing thy Martyr's victory.

The vanity of all below,
The fleeting joys of earth disdain'd,
And everlasting glory gain'd.
For thee through many a woe he ran,
In many a fight he play'd the man;
For thee his blood he dar'd to pour,
And thence hath joy for evermore.
We therefore pray thee, Lord of love,
Regard us from thy throne above;
On this thy Martyr's triumph-day
Wash ev'ry stain of sin away.
Enduring laud and praise be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And to the Holy Paraclete,
For endless ages, as is meet. Amen.

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!

To give fresh merit to the saint
And pardon to the penitent.

Where his life-Blood shall be spilled.

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.

Everlasting, as is meet :
Equal to the Father, equal
To the Son, and Paraclete :

All created things repeat. Amen.

Little Chapter (Lam. 2: 13)
To what shall I compare thee? or to what

to what shall I equal thee, that I may com-

great as the sea is thy destruction.
Hymn
Now fitly may dark night black out the
evening sky
The sun to earth all light, as if in grief,
deny
Whilst we, of Mary's plight with Christ
on Calvary,
Proclaim the awesome mystery.
Thou, Mother, through all pain of
anguished sorrow tried
Strong-hearted didst remain, close to
Christ crucified,
Whilst he the King his reign completed
on his Tree
In dreadful, spoken agony.
They took thy Son with scorn, with
scourges him assailed,
And crowned him with the thorn, and
on the Cross then nailed;
There with him thou wast torneach
hateful mockery
And cruel wounding wounded thee.
The spitting and the blows; bearing the
crushing Cross;
The nails, the thirst and woes; the dice
that gamesters toss;
The death wrought by his foes;
whate'er his pain might be
Was also suffered there by thee.
So, by him standing nigh, thou on that
blood-stained hill
A thousand deaths didst die, obedient
to his will;

Illume our minds with light of grace.

To keep us from all stain of sin.

Of hostile fmen disappear;
Let civil strife give way to peace,
And pestilence and famine cease.

And guard us by his Angel-host. Amen.

The messenger from God's high throne
His secret counsel making known
Hails Mary, child of David's race,
God's Virgin Mother, full of grace.
The Mother Maid, with joyous feet,
Her matron cousin goes to greet;
He, stirring in the enclosing womb,
Declares that Christ his Lord has come.
The Word, who ere the worlds began,
From God the Father's thought forth ran,
Of Mary, Virgin undefiled,
For us is born a mortal child.
Christ to the Temple courts they bring,
The King's own law subjects the King;
The world's Redeemer for a price
Is there redeemed, our sacrifice.
The joyful Mother finds once more
The Son she mourned as lost before;
While doctors by his speech were shewn
The mysteries they had never known.

blessed Dionysius thy Martyr and Bishop,
and didst vouchsafe to make Rusticus and
Eleutherius his companions in preaching
thy glory to the heathen; grant, we beseech
thee, that, following their examples, we may

For love's consuming, fiery dart, Would

O Saint of gentle majesty,
What potent voice in prayer is thine!
When thou dost plead, diseases flee,
And ills of body turn benign.

And lingering at their latest breath,
The sick by thee are straightway drawn
From out the very jaws of death.
And oft the shipwrecked merchandise,
Which sank beneath the raging flood,
At thy petition, made to rise,
Is saved as by the might of God.
O by God's gift to thee of power,
Do thou in joy celestial
Defend us in affliction's hour,
And help us when on thee we call.
And thou, eternal Three in One,

That when we die, we come to thee. Amen.

Great John! thou dost a beacon stand
To Poland's folk, to learning's halls,
Thou father of thy fatherland,
Priest-guardian of her Church's walls:
To God's full law thou gavest heed;
In teaching thou was justly famed
As one who truly lived the Creed
Which thy great eloquence proclaimed.
On foot thou oft didst wend thy way
To pray at Rome's twin shrines for light;
O guide us toward God's timeless day
From this dark realm of earthly night.
Thou wentest, too, to seek for grace
In Christ's own land, where stood his rood,
And there didst scan his every trace,
And each with loving tears bedewed.
Christ's bitter wounds do grace afford;
May they be printed in our hearts,
As we, like thee, seek that reward
Which their redeeming grace imparts.
Then let the world obeissance due
Perform, O God, to thy high will;
And let our souls, by grace made new,
High heaven's new song with joy fulfil
Amen.

See now the Christ, in triumph high,
Unfurl his standard to the sky!

The King of kings with homage greet.
The kingdoms that he claims as Lord
He quelled not by grim fear or sword,
But rather, on the Cross raised high,
He would on love alone rely.
That civic state, how trebly blest,
Where Christ bears rule by man confessed;
There edicts of high heaven run;
There upon earth God's will is done.
No civil strife can kindle there;
Good will prevails, and peace most fair;
There concord smiles 'twixt man and man;
Firm stands life's wise and ordered plan.
There wedlock firm in hallowed troth,
And youth with sweet unsullied growth,
Make every home the dwelling place
Of every pure and modest grace.
May this thy light, for which we pine,
Sweet King of love, upon us shine;
And all the earth, in holy peace,
From thy glad praises never cease.

V. His empire shall be multiplied. R. And
there shall be peace without end.

Prince of the kings of the earth, hath made

C Hymn
Jesu, thou art the crown on high,
And truth sublime, for which men sigh,
Who dost to thy Confessor give
Rewards with those that ever live.
Thy lowly band of suppliants spare;
O may we, helped by his prayer,
Remission of our sins obtain,
And freedom from each binding chain.
Again the slowly circling year
The day of glory bringeth here,
Whereon thy Saint, from flesh set free,
In power ascended up to thee.
Earth's fleeting joys he counted naught,
For higher, truer joys he sought;
And now, with Angels round thy throne,
Unfading treasures are his own.
By ever owning thee his King,
O Christ most gracious, did he fling
The haughty foe beneath his feet,
And all hell's minions bravely beat.
Renowned for faith and virtue, he
Confessed his Lord right constantly,
And with such fasts his flesh subdued
That he obtained supernal food.
O thou, most full of love and grace,
We humbly fall before thy face;
For this thy servant's sake, we pray,
Wipe all the debt we owe away.
Glory to thee, O Father, Lord,
And to thy sole-begotten Word,
With him thy Spirit; ever One

Jesu, who camest the world to save,
By thee redeemed, thine aid we crave:
Mother of God, in time of need,
For contrite hearts salvation plead.
Let all the bright Angelic choirs,
The ranks of Patriarchal sires,
And Prophet-Saints, devout and meek,
Forgiveness for our errors seek.
The Baptist, thy great harbinger,
With heaven's appointed Keybearer,
And all Apostles strive to win
From God remission of our sin.
So may the sacred Martyr band,
Confessors, Priests, adoring stand,
And every Virgin chastely pray
That he would purge our guilt away.
Your suffrages, ye Monks, unite
With all the citizens of light
To speed our vows; combine your powers
That life's eternal prize be ours.
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Laud, honour, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally. Amen.

V. The Saints shall rejoice in glory. R. They
shall be joyful in their beds.
The glorious * choir of the Apostles, the

COMMEMORATION OF
ALL THE FAITHFUL
DEPARTED
1

class

The commemoration of all the
Faitfhul departed excludes all occurring
feasts and also all transferred feasts of
any rite. If it should fall on a Sunday, it
is celebrated with the same privileges
on the following Monday; any other
feast being transferred or omitted, ac-
All as in the Office of the Dead, near
the end of the Breviary (1), except that
which is given as proper.

Lauds
Begin immediately with the antiphon
The humbled bones (16).
After the Benedctus antiphon has been
repeated, say while kneeling:
Our Father silently until
And immediately add:
V. From the gate of hell. R. Deliver their
souls, O Lord.
R. Amen.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer...
(V. The Lord be with you...)
Let us pray.
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all
the faithful, give to the souls of thy ser-
vants and handmaids the remission of all
their sins: that by pious supplications they
may obtain the pardon which they have
always desired. Who livest and reignest. R.
Amen.
V. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord. R.
And let perpetual light shine on them.
V. May they rest in peace. R. Amen.
And thus ends Lauds, with nothing else
added.
Vespers
If occurring with Sunday or a 1
st

feast, the Office of the Commemoration
of all the Faithful departed terminates
after None.

Ad Completorium
Non dicitur Iube, domne, nec lectio
brevis, neque versus Adiutrium nos-

confessione et absolutione, statim sine
antiphona incipitur a psalmis sequen-

Compline
Do not say Pray, sir, nor the brief les-
son, or the verse Our help, or the prayer
of Sunday; but, after the confession and
absolution, immediately without an
antiphon begin the following psalms.
Whereby, according the rubrics,
Compline is said as the last prayer of
the day, in which an examination of
conscience is made, then, if recited in
choir or in community, the master of
the choir or community, giving a sign,
indicates the initiation of the examina-
tion of conscience; that having been
finished, say I confess, May almighty
God, May the almighty and merciful
Lord.
Psalm 122
Unto thee have I lifted up mine eyes: * O
thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of the servants: * are on

As the eyes of the maiden are on the hands
of her mistress: * so are our eyes unto
the Lord our God, until he have mercy
upon us.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy

Psalm 141

Lord:
In his sight I pour out my prayer: * and

When my spirit failed me: * then thou

In the way wherein I walked: * they have
hidden a snare for me.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld: *
and there was no man that would know
me.
Flight hath failed me: * and there is no one
that hath regard unto my soul.
I cried unto thee, O Lord, * and said: Thou
art my hope, my portion in the land of
the living.
Attend unto my supplication: * for I am
brought very low.
Deliver me from my persecutors: * for they
are stronger than I.

Psalm 138
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me:
* thou hast known my sitting down, and
my rising up.
Thou hast understood my thoughts afar
off: * my path and my line hast thou
searched out.
Thou hast foreseen also all my ways: * for
there is no speech in my tongue.
Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all
things, the newest, and those of old: *
thou hast formed me, and laid thine
hand upon me,
Thy knowledge is become wonderful unto
me: * it is high, and I cannot reach unto
it.

Quo ibo a spritu tuo? * et quo a fcie tua

Quia tu possedsti renes meos: * suscepsti

Confitbor tibi quia terribliter magnifictus

Non est occulttum os meum a te, quod
fecsti in occlto: * et substntia mea in

Imperfctum meum vidrunt culi tui, et in

Mihi autem nimis honorificti sunt amci

Proba me, Deus, et scito cor meum: *
intrroga me, et cognsce smitas meas.
Et vide, si via iniquittis in me est: * et
deduc me in via trna.
Wither shall I go from thy spirit? * or
whither shall I flee from thy face?
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.

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.

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.

From thee Confessors grace obtain;
O'ercome in us the lust of sin,
That we thy pardoning love may win.

That she on earth recked naught of rest,

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;
And here receive from thy dear love
The blessings of that home above;

Matutinum cum Laudibus post Laudes
diei; Vesper post Vesperas diei, imme-
diate post versum Benedicmus
Dmino et Deo grtias. In fine vero
omnium psalmorum semper dicitur:
Et lux perptua * lceat eis, etiam si
pro uno tantum fiat Officium.

Ad Matutinum
Incipitur absolute ab invitatorio.
Nocturni inferius positi omnes dici
possunt vel etiam unus tantum, ita
tamen, ut extra diem depositionis, in
qua semper dicitur primus Nocturnus,
dominica, feria II et V dicatur primus,
feria III et VI secundus, et feria IV et
sabbato tertius Nocturnus.

Invit. Regem, cui mnia vivunt: * vente,

Repetitur: Regem, cui mnia vivunt:
vente, adormus.
Psalmus 94
Vente, exsultmus Dmino, iubilmus Deo
Salutri nostro: proccupmus fciem

iubilmus ei.
Regem, cui mnia vivunt, vente adormus.

The Office is said in choir on the day
of the death or of the burial, and at
other times according to custom: Mat-
ins with Lauds after Lauds of the Day;
Vespers after Vespers of the day, imme-
diately after the verse Let us bless the
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-
day; the second Nocturn on Tuesday
and Friday; and the third Nocturn on
Wednesday and Saturday.

Invit. Come, let us adore the King, * to
whom all things live.
Repeat: Come, let us adore the King, to
whom all things live.
Psalm 94
Come, let us rejoice in the Lord, let us
make a joyful noise to God our Saviour:
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.
Because the sea is his, and he made it, and
his hands formed the dry land: COME,
LET US ADORE, AND FALL DOWN BEFORE
GOD: let us lament before the Lord that
made us: he is the Lord our God: and

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.

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.

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

conturbta sunt ossa mea.
Et nima mea turbta est valde: * sed tu,
Dmine, squequo?

misericrdiam tuam.
Quniam non est in morte qui memor sit

Laborvi in gmitu meo, lavbo per
sngulas noctes lectum meum: * lcrimis

Turbtus est a furre culus meus: *

Discdite a me, omnes, qui opermini

Dminus vocem fletus mei.
Exaudvit Dminus deprecatinem meam,
* Dminus oratinem meam suscpit.
Erubscant, et conturbntur vehemnter

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-

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

none to redeem, nor to save it.

Psalmus 7
Dmine, Deus meus, in te spervi: *

Et exsrge, Dmine Deus meus, in

Et propter hanc in altum regrdere: *

Iustum adiutrium meum a Dmino, * qui

Deus iudex iustus, fortis, et ptiens: *
numquid irscitur per sngulos dies?
Nisi convrsi furitis, gldium suum

Et in eo parvit vasa mortis: * sagttas suas

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

Converttur dolor eius in caput eius: * et in

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.

Our Father, said throughout silently.
The Lessons are begun without Ab-

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

Manus tu fecrunt me, et plasmavrunt

Ant. IV In loco pscu * ibi me collocvit.

Psalmus 22
Dminus regit me, et nihil mihi derit: * in

Super aquam refectinis educvit me: *

Dedxit me super smitas iustti: *
propter nomen suum.
Nam, et si ambulvero in mdio umbr

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.

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: *

Thy rod and thy staff: * they have

Thou hast prepared in my sight a table: *

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.

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.

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, *

Dminus protctor vit me, * a quo

Dum apprpiant super me nocntes, * ut

Si consstant advrsum me castra, * non

Si exsrgat advrsum me prlium, * in hoc

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: *

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

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.

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.

sinned exceedingly in my life: O wreth,

greatly troubled; but thou, O Lord, succour
it. Have.

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

And he heard my prayers: * and he brought
me also out of the horrible pit, out of

And he hath set my feet upon the rock, *

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

Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, *

Burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin hast

God, I am content to do it; yea, thy law

My soul is vexed within me; * therefore will
I remember thee from the land of

All thy waves and storms * are gone over

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.

Lsson 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

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.

O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at
break of day.
For thee my soul hath thirsted: * for thee
my flesh longeth, O how exceedingly!
In a desert and pathless land where no
water is: * so have I come before thee
in thy holy place, that I might see thy
power and thy glory.
For thy mercy is better than life: * my lips
shall praise thee.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and
in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and
fatness: * and my mouth shall praise
thee with joyful lips.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed,
on thee will I meditate in the morning:
* because thou hast been my helper.
And I will rejoice under the covert of thy
wings: my soul hath cleaved unto thee:
* thy right hand hath upheld me.
But they have sought my soul in vain: they
shall go into the lower parts of the
earth: * they shall be delivered into the
hands of the sword: they shall be the
portions of foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they
that swear by him shall be praised: *
because the mouth of them that speak
wicked things is stopped.

Father; * that he would grant to us.
That being delivered from the hand of our
enemies, * we may serve him without
fear.

salvation: * unto the remission of their

high hath visited us:
To enlighten them that sit in darkness and
in the shadow of death; * to direct our

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 P3.

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.

Intellctum tibi dabo, et nstruam te in via

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 P3.

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
me.
I will give thee understanding, and I will

Multa flaglla peccatris, * sperntem

Ltmini in Dmino et exsultte, iusti, * et
glorimini, omnes recti corde.

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
vanittes: * et dolos tota die
meditabntur.
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
vain things: * and imagined deceit all
the day long.


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
meum: * quia obltus sum comdere
panem meum.
A voce gmitus mei: * adhxsit os meum
carni me.
Similis factus sum pellicno solitdinis: *
factus sum sicut nyctcorax in domiclio.

Vigilvi, * et factus sum sicut passer
solitrius in tecto.

Tota die exprobrbant mihi inimci mei: * et
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
housetop.
Mine enemies reviled me all the day long;

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.

Dies mei sicut umbra declinavrunt: * et
ego sicut fnum rui.
Tu autem, Dmine, in trnum prmanes:
* et memorile tuum in generatinem et
generatinem.
Tu exsrgens miserberis Sion: * quia
tempus miserndi eius, quia venit
tempus.
Quniam placurunt servis tuis lpides
eius: * et terr eius miserebntur.

Et timbunt gentes nomen tuum, Dmine:
* et omnes reges terr glriam tuam.

Quia dificvit Dminus Sion: * et
vidbitur in glria sua.
Respxit in oratinem humlium: * et non
sprevit precem erum.

Scribntur hc in generatine ltera: * et
ppulus qui crebitur, laudbit
Dminum.
Quia prospxit de exclso sancto suo: *
Dminus de clo in terram aspxit:

Ut audret gmitus compeditrum: * ut
slveret flios interemptrum.

Ut annntient in Sion nomen Dmini: * et
laudem eius in Iersalem.

In convenindo ppulos in unum: * et
reges ut srviant Dmino.
Respndit ei in via virttis su: *
Paucittem dirum merum nntia mihi.

Ne rvoces me in dimdio dirum merum:
* in generatinem et generatinem anni
tui.
Intio tu, Dmine, terram fundsti: * et
pera mnuum turum sunt cli.

Ipsi peribunt, tu autem prmanes: * et
omnes sicut vestimntum veterscent.
* 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: *
and they all shall wax old like a
garment;

absolved.
We beg thee, Lord, hear the plea of thy
suppliants, pardon the sins of thy penitents,
and kindly grant us thy tender forgiveness
along with thy peace.
Show us, O Lord, thy indescribable mercy,
blot out our transgressions, and graciously
deliver us from the condemnation they
deserve.
O God, who is offended by our sins but
appeased by our penances, may it please
thee to hear the entreaties of thy people
and turn away the stripes that our
transgressions rightly deserve.
Almighty everlasting God, be gracious to
thy servant, N., our Sovereign Pontiff, and
in thy kindness lead him on the path of
everlasting salvation; may he by thy grace
seek only that which pleases thee and carry
it out with all his might.

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-

understanding with the fire of the Holy
Ghost, that we may serve thee with a chaste
body and please thee with a pure heart.

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.
