Deus, in adiutórium meum inténde.
Dómine, ad adiuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen. Allelúia.

O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son

world without end.

Doctor ætérnus cóleris piúsque,
Christe, qui leges áperis salútis,
verba qui vitæ mérito putáris
solus habére.
Teque clamámus, bone Pastor orbis,
cǽlitus semper solidásse Sponsæ
verba, constánter quibus illa mundo
lumen adésset.
Ipse quin præbes fámulos corúscos,
áureas stellas velut emicántes,
certa qui nobis réserent beátæ
dógmata vitæ.
Unde te laudes récinant, Magíster,
Spíritus fundis bona qui stupénda
ore doctórum, tua quo poténter
lux patet alma.
Quique nunc iustus celebrátur, instet
ut tuam plebem per amœ́na lucis
des gradi, donec tibi dicat hymnos
lúmine pleno. Amen.

Who are these like stars appearing,
these, before God’s throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia! Hark, they sing,
praising loud their heavenly King.
Who are these of dazzling brightness,
clothed in God’s own righteousness?
These, whose robes of purest whiteness,
shall their lustre still possess,
still untouched by time’s rude hand?
Whence came all this glorious band?
These are they who have contended
for their Saviour’s honour long,
wrestling on till life was ended,
following not the sinful throng;
these who well the fight sustained,
triumph through the Lamb have gained.
These are they whose hearts were riven,
sore with woe and anguish tried,
who in prayer full oft have striven
with the God they glorified;
now, their painful conflict o’er,
God has bid them weep no more.
These, the Almighty contemplating,
did as priests before him stand,
soul and body always waiting
day and night at his command:
now in God’s most holy place
blest they stand before his face.

Ps 50:3-21
| Psalm 50 (51)

Deus apparet ad iudicandum
Cum irátus fúeris, Dómine, misericórdiæ recordáberis.
2Dómine, audívi auditiónem tuam,*
et tímui, Dómine, opus tuum.
In médio annórum vivífica illud,*
in médio annórum notum fácies.
Cum irátus fúeris,*
misericórdiæ recordáberis.
3Deus a Theman véniet,*
et Sanctus de monte Pharan.
Operit cælos glória eius,*
et laudis eius plena est terra.
4Splendor eius ut lux erit,†
rádii ex mánibus eius:*
ibi abscóndita est fortitúdo eius.
13Egréssus es in salútem pópuli tui,*
in salútem cum christo tuo.
15Viam fecísti in mari equis tuis,*
in luto aquárum multárum.
16Audívi, et conturbátus est venter meus,*
ad vocem contremuérunt lábia mea.
Ingréditur putrédo in óssibus meis,*
et subter me vacíllant gressus mei.
Conquiéscam in die tribulatiónis,*
ut ascéndat super pópulum, qui invádit nos.
17Ficus enim non florébit,*
et non erit fructus in víneis;
mentiétur opus olívæ,*
et arva non áfferent cibum;
abscíssum est de ovíli pecus,*
et non est arméntum in præsépibus.
18Ego autem in Dómino gaudébo*
et exsultábo in Deo salvatóre meo.
19Dóminus Deus fortitúdo mea,†
et ponet pedes meos quasi cervórum*
et super excélsa mea dedúcet me.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Cum irátus fúeris, Dómine, misericórdiæ recordáberis.

The Lord will appear in judgementIn spite of your anger, Lord, have compassion.
Lord, I heard what you gave me to hear,
and I was struck with awe of your work.
In the midst of the years, bring it to life;
in the midst of the years you will make it known.
When you are angry, you will remember your mercy.
God will come from Theman,
the holy one from the mountain of Pharan.
His glory has covered the heavens
and the earth is full of his praise.
His brightness shall be like light itself,
rays shining from his hands –
there is his strength hidden.
You went forth for the salvation of the people,
for salvation with your anointed one.
You made a way through the sea for your horses,
in the silt of many waters.
I have heard you, Lord,
and my stomach churns within me;
at the sound of your voice my lips tremble.
My bones rot away, my steps stumble.
I will rest and be quiet on the day of tribulation
and let it overtake those who have invaded us.
For the fig will not flower,
the vines will not fruit,
the work of the olive will be lost.
The fields will yield no food,
the flocks will be cut off from the sheepfold,
there will be no cattle in the stalls.
But I will rejoice in the Lord, take joy in God my saviour.
The Lord God is my strength.
He will make me as sure-footed as the deer.
He will lead me up to the heights.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
In spite of your anger, Lord, have compassion.

Ps 147:12-20
| Psalm 147 (147B)
|
Sapiéntiam sine fictióne dídici et sine invídia commúnico; divítias illíus non abscóndo. Infinítus enim thesáurus est homínibus; quem qui acquisiérunt, ad amicítiam in Deum se paravérunt propter disciplínæ dona commendáti.
|
What I learned without self-interest, I pass on without reserve; I do not intend to hide her riches. For she is an inexhaustible treasure to men, and those who acquire her win God’s friendship, commended as they are to him by the benefits of her teaching.
|
℣. Sapiéntiam sanctórum* Narrent pópuli. Sapiéntiam.
℟. Et laudes eórum núntiet Ecclésia.* Narrent pópuli. Glória Patri. Sapiéntiam.
|
The people tell about the wisdom of the saints.
– The people tell about the wisdom of the saints.
The Church sings their praises.
– The people tell about the wisdom of the saints.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
– The people tell about the wisdom of the saints.

De Messia eiusque præcursoreQui docti fúerint, fulgébunt quasi splendor firmaménti et, qui ad iustítiam erúdiunt multos, quasi stellæ in perpétuas æternitátes.
Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel,*
quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ
et eréxit cornu salútis nobis*
in domo David púeri sui,
sicut locútus est per os sanctórum,*
qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum eius,
salútem ex inimícis nostris*
et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos;
ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris*
et memorári testaménti sui sancti,
iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,*
datúrum se nobis,
ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum liberáti,*
serviámus illi
in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso*
ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis:*
præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius,
ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius*
in remissiónem peccatórum eórum,
per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri,*
in quibus visitábit nos óriens ex alto,
illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent*
ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Qui docti fúerint, fulgébunt quasi splendor firmaménti et, qui ad iustítiam erúdiunt multos, quasi stellæ in perpétuas æternitátes.

The Messiah and his forerunnerThe learned will shine as brightly as the vault of heaven, and those who have instructed many in virtue will shine like stars for all eternity.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption.
He has raised up the sign of salvation
in the house of his servant David,
as he promised through the mouth of the holy ones,
his prophets through the ages:
to rescue us from our enemies
and all who hate us,
to take pity on our fathers,
to remember his holy covenant
and the oath he swore to Abraham our father,
that he would give himself to us,
that we could serve him without fear
– freed from the hands of our enemies –
in uprightness and holiness before him,
for all of our days.
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High:
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his path,
to let his people know their salvation,
so that their sins may be forgiven.
Through the bottomless mercy of our God,
one born on high will visit us
to give light to those who walk in darkness,
who live in the shadow of death;
to lead our feet in the path of peace.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
The learned will shine as brightly as the vault of heaven, and those who have instructed many in virtue will shine like stars for all eternity.

numquam désinas per eos nobíscum misericórditer ágere.

Qui in sanctis tuis, populórum dúcibus, córporum animarúmque médicus exstitísti,
numquam cesses ministérium in nos vitæ et sanctitátis perágere.
– Pasce pópulum tuum, Dómine.
Qui, prudéntia et caritáte sanctórum, tuum gregem erudísti,
nos in sanctitáte iúgiter per pastóres nostros ædífica.
– Pasce pópulum tuum, Dómine.

Christ, the good shepherd, laid down his life for his sheep. Let us praise him with grateful hearts, as we pray:
– Lord, nourish the lives of your people.

Through your sacred ministers you are present in our midst as the shepherd of our souls;
never cease to guide us through their teaching and encouragement.

In the saints who lead your people, you manifest your power of healing souls and bodies;

Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
| Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Deus, qui ad animárum salútem beátum Francíscum, epíscopum, ómnibus ómnia factum esse voluísti, concéde propítius, ut, eius exémplo, tuæ mansuetúdinem caritátis in fratrum servítio semper ostendámus.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
| Grant, Lord, that in the service of our fellow-men
we may always reflect your own gentleness and love,
and so imitate Saint Francis de Sales,
whom you made all things to all men for the saving of souls.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
|
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam.
Amen.
| The Lord bless us, and keep us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
