Iesu, redémptor ómnium,
perpes coróna cǽlitum,
in hac die cleméntius
nostris favéto vócibus,
Sacri tui qua nóminis
conféssor almus cláruit,
cuius celébrat ánnua

Per illa quæ sunt sǽculi
gressu seréno tránsiit,
tibi fidélis iúgiter
iter salútis pérsequens.
At rite mundi gáudiis
non cor cadúcis ápplicans,

Huius benígnus ánnue

huius precátu sérvulis
dimítte noxam críminis.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime,
tibi Patríque glória
cum Spíritu Paráclito,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Worship, glory, praise and honour
To our God, high-throned above:
We, with many generations
Join to praise thy name of love.
In the scriptures, by the Spirit,
May we see the Saviour’s face,
Hear his word and heed his calling,
Know his will and grow in grace.

Ps 67:2-11
| Psalm 67 (68)
|
Ps 67:12-24Deus noster, Deus ad salvándum; et Dómini sunt éxitus mortis.
12Dóminus dat verbum;*
vírgines annuntiántes bona sunt agmen ingens:
«13Reges exercítuum fúgiunt, fúgiunt,*
et spécies domus dívidit spólia.
14Et vos dormítis inter médias caulas:*
alæ colúmbæ nitent argénto, et pennæ eius pallóre auri.
15Dum dispérgit Omnípotens reges super eam,*
nive dealbátur Selmon».
16Mons Dei mons Basan,*
mons cacúminum mons Basan.
17Ut quid invidétis, montes cacúminum,†
monti, in quo beneplácitum est Deo inhabitáre?*
Etenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
18Currus Dei decem mília mílium:*
Dóminus venit de Sínai in sancta.
19Ascendísti in altum, captívam duxísti captivitátem;†
accepísti in donum hómines,*
ut étiam rebélles hábitent apud Dóminum Deum.
20Benedíctus Dóminus die quotídie;*
portábit nos Deus salutárium nostrórum.
21Deus noster, Deus ad salvándum;*
et Dómini, Dómini éxitus mortis.
22Verúmtamen Deus confrínget cápita inimicórum suórum,*
vérticem capillátum perambulántium in delíctis suis.
23Dixit Dóminus: «Ex Basan redúcam,*
redúcam de profúndo maris,
24ut intingátur pes tuus in sánguine,*
lingua canum tuórum ex inimícis portiónem invéniat».
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Deus noster, Deus ad salvándum; et Dómini sunt éxitus mortis.
| Psalm 67 (68)This God of ours is a God who saves. The Lord holds the keys of death.
The Lord gives out the word,
and a great army of maidens brings the news:
“The kings of the armies are fleeing, they are fleeing,
and the fair one at home is dividing the spoils.
While you sleep among the sheepfolds,
the wings of the dove shine with silver,
her feathers glow with green gold.
Through her the Almighty scatters the kings,
and the mountain of Zalmon is white with snow.”
The mountain of Bashan is God’s mountain;
the mountain of God is a high-peaked mountain.
Why do you envy it, you high-peaked mountains,
envy the mountain that God has chosen?
The Lord will dwell there for ever.
The chariots of God are ten thousand thousand:
the Lord has come from Sinai to his holy sanctuary.
You have scaled the heights, you have taken captives,
you have received men as gifts
so that even the rebels live with the Lord God.
Blessings on the Lord, day after day!
God will carry us, God our saviour.
Our God is a God of salvation,
our Lord is a Lord who rescues from death.
Truly God will break the heads of his enemies,
take the scalps of those who tread the path of crime.
The Lord has spoken:
“I shall bring them back from Bashan,
I shall bring them back from the depths of the sea,
so that your feet may be dipped in blood
and the tongues of your dogs receive food from your enemies.”
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.
This God of ours is a God who saves. The Lord holds the keys of death.

Regna terræ, cantáte Deo; psállite Dómino.
| Psalm 67 (68)Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, praise the Lord.
They have seen your processions, O God,
the processions of God, my king, to his sanctuary.
First came the singers, last the musicians,
between them the maidens playing their drums.
“Bless God in the assemblies:
bless the Lord, you who spring from Israel!”
There was young Benjamin, leading them,
the princes of Judah in their rich robes,
the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
O God, command in your strength;
make firm what you have achieved in us.
From your temple in Jerusalem,
kings shall bring you tribute.
Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds,
the herd of bulls, the lords of peoples.
Let them lie prostrate before you with tribute of silver.
Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
Nobles will come from Egypt,
Ethiopia will stretch out its hands to God.
Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God;
celebrate the Lord.
Sing to God who rides on the highest heavens,
at the origin of all things.
Listen! – he speaks, a voice of power.
Acknowledge the strength of the Lord:
his majesty is over Israel,
his strength is in the clouds.
God inspires awe in his holy place;
he, the God of Israel, gives power to his people;
he gives them strength.
Blessed be God!
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.
Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, praise the Lord.

Dominus Eliæ se revelatIn diébus illis: 1Nuntiávit Achab Iézabel ómnia, quæ fécerat Elías et quómodo occidísset univérsos prophétas gládio. 2Misítque Iézabel núntium ad Elíam dicens: «Hæc mihi fáciant dii et hæc addant, nisi hac hora cras posúero ánimam tuam sicut ánimam uníus ex illis». 3Tímuit ergo Elías et surgens ábiit, ut ánimam suam salváret, venítque in Bersabée Iudæ et dimísit ibi púerum suum. 4Et perréxit in desértum via uníus diéi; cumque venísset et sedéret subter unam iuníperum, petívit ánimæ suæ, ut morerétur, et ait: «Súfficit mihi, Dómine! Tolle ánimam meam; neque enim mélior sum quam patres mei». 5Proiecítque se et obdormívit in umbra iuníperi; et ecce ángelus tétigit eum et dixit illi: «Surge, cómede!». 6Respéxit, et ecce ad caput suum subcinerícius panis et vas aquæ; comédit ergo et bibit et rursum obdormívit. 7Reversúsque est ángelus Dómini secúndo et tétigit eum dixítque illi: «Surge, cómede! Grandis enim tibi restat via». 8Qui, cum surrexísset, comédit et bibit et ambulávit in fortitúdine cibi illíus quadragínta diébus et quadragínta nóctibus usque ad montem Dei Horeb.
9Cumque venísset illuc, mansit in spelúnca. Et ecce sermo Dómini ad eum. 11Et ait ei: «Egrédere et sta in monte coram Dómino». Et ecce Dóminus transit, et ventus grandis et fortis subvértens montes et cónterens petras ante Dóminum: non in vento Dóminus. Et post ventum, commótio: non in commotióne Dóminus. 12Et post commotiónem, ignis: non in igne Dóminus. Et post ignem, síbilus auræ ténuis. 13Quod cum audísset Elías, opéruit vultum suum pállio et egréssus stetit in óstio spelúncæ; et ecce vox ad eum dicens: «Quid agis hic, Elía?». 14Et ille respóndit: «Zelo zelátus sum pro Dómino Deo exercítuum, quia dereliquérunt pactum tuum fílii Israel, altária tua destruxérunt et prophétas tuos occidérunt gládio: et derelíctus sum ego solus, et quærunt ánimam meam, ut áuferant eam».
15Et ait Dóminus ad eum: «Vade et revértere in viam tuam per desértum in Damáscum; cumque pervéneris, unges Házael regem super Sýriam, 16et Iehu fílium Namsi unges regem super Israel, Eliséum autem fílium Saphat, qui est de Abelméhula, unges prophétam pro te. 17Et erit: quicúmque fúgerit gládium Házael occídet eum Iehu, et qui fúgerit gládium Iehu interfíciet eum Eliséus. 18Et relínquam mihi in Israel septem mília: universórum génua, quæ non sunt incurváta ante Baal, et omne os, quod non osculátum est eum».
19Proféctus ergo inde répperit Eliséum fílium Saphat arántem duódecim iugis boum; et ipse cum duodécimo erat. Cumque venísset Elías ad eum, misit pállium suum super illum, 20qui statim, relíctis bobus, cucúrrit post Elíam et ait: «Osculer, oro, patrem meum et matrem meam, et sic sequar te». Dixítque ei: «Vade et revértere; quid enim feci tibi?».
21Revérsus autem ab eo tulit par boum et mactávit illud et in iugo boum coxit carnes et dedit pópulo, et comedérunt. Consurgénsque ábiit et secútus est Elíam et ministrábat ei.

The Lord reveals himself to ElijahWhen Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to the sword, Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, ‘May the gods do this to me and more, if by this time tomorrow I have not made your life like the life of one of them!’ He was afraid and fled for his life. He came to Beersheba, a town of Judah, where he left his servant. He himself went on into the wilderness, a day’s journey, and sitting under a furze bush wished he were dead. ‘O Lord,’ he said ‘I have had enough. Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.’ Then he lay down and went to sleep. But an angel touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat.’ He looked round, and there at his head was a scone baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. But the angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat, or the journey will be too long for you.’ So he got up and ate and drank, and strengthened by that food he walked for forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
There he went into the cave and spent the night in it. Then he was told, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord.’ Then the Lord himself went by. There came a mighty wind, so strong it tore the mountains and shattered the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind came an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there came the sound of a gentle breeze. And when Elijah heard this, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then a voice came to him, which said, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He replied, ‘I am filled with jealous zeal for the Lord of Hosts, because the sons of Israel have deserted you, broken down your altars and put your prophets to the sword. I am the only one left and they want to kill me.’
‘Go,’ the Lord said ‘go back by the same way to the wilderness of Damascus. You are to go and anoint Hazael as king of Aram. You are to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king of Israel, and to anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel Meholah, as prophet to succeed you. Anyone who escapes the sword of Hazael will be put to death by Jehu; and anyone who escapes the sword of Jehu will be put to death by Elisha. But I shall spare seven thousand in Israel: all the knees that have not bent before Baal, all the mouths that have not kissed him.’
Leaving there, he came on Elisha son of Shaphat as he was ploughing behind twelve yoke of oxen, he himself being with the twelfth. Elijah passed near to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha left his oxen and ran after Elijah. ‘Let me kiss my father and mother, then I will follow you’ he said. Elijah answered, ‘Go, go back; for have I done anything to you?’ Elisha turned away, took the pair of oxen and slaughtered them. He used the plough for cooking the oxen, then gave to his men, who ate. He then rose, and followed Elijah and became his servant.

℟. Dixit Dóminus ad Móysen: Cum transíbit glória mea, ponam te in forámine petræ et prótegam déxtera mea donec tránseam. * Non enim vidébit Deum homo et vivet.
℣. Deum nemo vidit umquam; unigénitus Deus, qui est in sinu Patris, ipse enarrávit. * Non enim.
|
℟. The Lord said to Moses: While my glory passes by, I will put you in a crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by;* for no mortal man may see God and live.
℣. No-one has ever seen God, but God’s only Son, who is nearest to the Father’s heart, has made him known;* for no mortal man may see God and live.

Domino in fratribus serviensUt a sancta caritáte, tamquam a virtútum ómnium radíce et dono, Camíllo præ réliquis familiári, ducam inítium, dico eum huius sanctæ virtútis igni ita fuísse inflammátum, non modo erga Deum, sed étiam erga próximos, ac speciátim infírmos: ut vel solus eórum conspéctus satis illi esset ad concipiéndam cordis teneritúdinem, liquefactiónem, et ómnium dénique deliciárum ac terrenórum oblectamentórum atque afféctuum perféctam obliviónem. Quippe qui videbátur, cum uni cuípiam infirmórum ministráret, præ nímia pietáte ac miseratióne se quodámmodo totum confícere atque consúmere. Nam libénter in semetípsum omnem eórum languórem et áliud quodvis malum suscepísset, quo ipsórum vel dolóres leníret, vel tólleret infirmitátes.
Christi enim persónam tam viva imaginatióne in illis attendébat, ut sæpenúmero inter præbéndum cibos concíperet ánimo suos esse christos, adeóque ab iis grátiam et peccatórum remissiónem efflagitáret. Hinc tanta coram stabat reveréntia, ac si vere et próprie in Dómini sui esset præséntia. De nulla re sǽpius, de nulla fervídius, quam de sancta caritáte sermónes miscébat, eámque optásset cunctórum mortálium córdibus insérere.
Ut fratres suos religiósos ad hanc principálem virtútem inflammáret, solébat iis dulcíssima illa Iesu Christi verba inculcáre: Infírmus eram et visitástis me. Quæ verba ipse revéra cordi suo inscúlpta habére videbátur; tóties ea dicébat, tóties repetébat.
Tanta erat Camílli et tam late patens cáritas, ut non modo infírmos et moribúndos, sed étiam generátim quoscúmque álios páuperes et miserábiles, insígni suæ pietátis ac benevoléntiæ sinu complecterétur. Dénique cor illi erat tantæ erga índigos pietátis, ut dícere esset sólitus: «Cum páuperes in mundo non reperiréntur, oportére hómines ad eos investigándos et de sub terra eruéndos, bene illis faciéndi et misericórdiam exhibéndi grátia, se impéndere».

Serving the Lord in his brethrenLet me start with holy charity, the root of all the virtues and the gift most characteristic of Camillus. He was so fired by this virtue, both towards God and towards his neighbours, especially the sick, that just to see them was enough to melt his tender heart and to make him forget every pleasure, every earthly delight and attachment. Indeed, even when ministering to just one sick man, he seemed to burn himself up and wear himself out with the utmost devotion and compassion. Gladly would he have taken upon himself all their sickness and sufferings to alleviate their pain or take away their weakness.
So vividly did he picture and honour the person of Christ in them that often when distributing food to them he thought of them as his ‘Christs’, and would beg of them grace and the remission of sins. Hence he was as reverent before them as if he were really and truly in the presence of his Lord. Of nothing would he speak more frequently or fervently than of holy charity. He longed that it should take root in the heart of every man.
To fire his brethren in religion with this fundamental virtue, he would impress on them these sweet words of Jesus Christ: ‘I was sick and you visited me.’ Indeed, so often did he repeat these words, he seemed to have them engraved on his heart.
Camillus’ charity was so great and wide-ranging that he took to his kind and loving heart not only the sick and the dying but also all other poor and wretched people. His heart was so full of devotion for the needy that he used to say: ‘If ever there were no poor to be found on the face of the earth, people would have to search them out and even pluck them from below the earth in order to do good to them and show them mercy!’
| ||||
℟. Suscípite infírmos, semper quod bonum est sectámini in omnes;* Hæc enim volúntas Dei est in Christo Iesu erga vos.
℣. Suscípite ínvicem, sicut et Christus suscépit vos in glóriam Dei.* Hæc enim.
|
℟. Care for the sick, and always seek to do good to all,* for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
℣. Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God,* for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Oremus.
Deus, qui sanctum Camíllum, presbýterum, caritátis in infírmos singulári grátia decorásti, eius méritis, spíritum nobis tuæ dilectiónis infúnde, ut, tibi in frátribus serviéntes, ad te hora éxitus nostri secúri transíre possímus.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
| Let us pray.
Almighty, ever-living God,
you gave your priest Saint Camillus
an extraordinary love for the sick.
Help us, through his intercession,
to love and serve you in your brethren,
so that, at the hour of our death,
we may come before you in confidence.
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.

Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.
| Let us praise the Lord.
– Thanks be to God.
