Ad cenam Agni próvidi,
stolis salútis cándidi,
post tránsitum maris Rubri
Christo canámus príncipi.
Cuius corpus sanctíssimum
in ara crucis tórridum,
sed et cruórem róseum
gustándo, Deo vívimus.
Protécti paschæ véspero
a devastánte ángelo,
de Pharaónis áspero
sumus erépti império.
Iam pascha nostrum Christus est,
agnus occísus ínnocens;
sinceritátis ázyma
qui carnem suam óbtulit.
O vera, digna hóstia,
per quam frangúntur tártara,
captíva plebs redímitur,
reddúntur vitæ prǽmia!
Consúrgit Christus túmulo,
victor redit de bárathro,
tyránnum trudens vínculo
et paradísum réserans.
Esto perénne méntibus
paschále, Iesu, gáudium
et nos renátos grátiæ
tuis triúmphis ággrega.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
qui morte victa prǽnites,
cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
in sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

The Lamb’s high banquet we await,
In snow-white robes of royal state;
And now, the Red Sea’s channel past,
To Christ our Prince we sing at last.
Upon the altar of the Cross
His body hath redeemed our loss;
And tasting of his scarlet blood,
Our life is hid with him in God.
Now Christ our paschal Lamb is slain,
The Lamb of God that knows no stain,
The true oblation offered here,
Our own unleavened bread sincere.
O thou, from whom hell’s monarch flies,
O great, O very Sacrifice,
Thy captive people are set free,
And endless life restored in thee.
To thee who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.

Ps 118:105-112
| Psalm 118 (119): 105-112The man who lives by the truth comes into the light. Alleluia.
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet,
a light for my journey.
I have firmly sworn to keep your just laws.
Lord, I am greatly afflicted:
revive me as you have promised.
Lord, accept the vows I make,
and teach me your judgements.
I hold my life in my hands,
I remember your laws.
The wicked placed a trap for me,
but I did not wander from your commandments.
Your decrees are my inheritance for ever,
they are the joy of my heart:
my heart is set on carrying them out,
for ever, until the end.
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 man who lives by the truth comes into the light. Alleluia.

Ps 15:1-11
| Psalm 15 (16)

De Christo, servo DeiNonne hæc opórtuit pati Christum, et ita intráre in glóriam suam? allelúia.
6Christus Iesus, cum in forma Dei esset,*
non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo,
7sed semetípsum exinanívit
formam servi accípiens,†
in similitúdinem hóminum factus;*
et hábitu invéntus ut homo,
8humiliávit semetípsum†
factus obœ́diens usque ad mortem,*
mortem autem crucis.
9Propter quod et Deus illum exaltávit†
et donávit illi nomen,*
quod est super omne nomen,
10ut in nómine Iesu omne genu flectátur*
cæléstium et terréstrium et infernórum
11et omnis lingua confiteátur:*
«Dóminus Iesus Christus!»,
in glóriam Dei Patris.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Nonne hæc opórtuit pati Christum, et ita intráre in glóriam suam? allelúia.

Christ, God's servantWas it not necessary that Christ should suffer thus and so enter into his glory? Alleluia.
Jesus Christ, although he shared God’s nature,
did not try to cling to his equality with God;
but emptied himself, took on the form of a slave,
and became like a man:
not in appearance only,
for he humbled himself by accepting death,
even death on a cross.
For this, God has raised him high,
and given him the name that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bend,
in heaven, on earth, and under the earth,
and every tongue will proclaim
“Jesus Christ is Lord,”
to the glory of God the Father.
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.

Vos genus eléctum, regále sacerdótium, gens sancta, pópulus in acquisitiónem, ut virtútes annuntiétis eius, qui de ténebris vos vocávit in admirábile lumen suum; qui aliquándo non pópulus, nunc autem pópulus Dei; qui non consecúti misericórdiam nunc autem misericórdiam consecúti.
|
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a people set apart to sing the praises of God who called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people at all and now you are the People of God; once you were outside the mercy and now you have been given mercy.

Exsultatio animæ in DominoSi quis díligit me, sermónem meum servábit, et Pater meus díliget eum, et ad eum veniémus, et mansiónem apud eum faciémus, allelúia.
Magníficat*
ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus*
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ.*
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est,*
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies*
timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,*
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede*
et exaltávit húmiles;
esuriéntes implévit bonis*
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Israel púerum suum,*
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,*
Abraham et sémini eius in sǽcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Si quis díligit me, sermónem meum servábit, et Pater meus díliget eum, et ad eum veniémus, et mansiónem apud eum faciémus, allelúia.

My soul rejoices in the LordIf anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our home with him. Alleluia. (Year C)
Or: I shall ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you for ever, alleluia.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God, my salvation.
For he has shown me such favour –
me, his lowly handmaiden.
Now all generations will call me blessed,
because the mighty one has done great things for me.
His name is holy,
his mercy lasts for generation after generation
for those who revere him.
He has put forth his strength:
he has scattered the proud and conceited,
torn princes from their thrones;
but lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel,
he has remembered his mercy as he promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
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.

Christum, qui resúrgens a mórtuis mortem destrúxit vitámque renovávit, instánter invocémus:

Tu, testis fidélis et verus, primogénitus ex mórtuis,
tuæ tríbue Ecclésiæ te indesinénter testificári.

Tu, únice sponse Ecclésiæ e látere tuo exórtæ,
redde nos nuptiális illíus testes sacraménti.

Qui es primus et novíssimus, fuísti mórtuus et vivis,
baptizátos serva usque ad mortem fidéles, ut corónam accípere mereántur.
– Christe, semper vivens, exáudi nos.
Tu, lux et lucérna sanctæ Dei civitátis,

Let us pray to Christ, who rose from the dead to restore our life.
– Ever-living Christ, hear us.
Jesus, you are the stone rejected by the builders but you have proved to be the keystone of God’s house;
make us living stones in the temple of your Church.
– Ever-living Christ, hear us.
You are the faithful and true witness, the first-born from the dead;
may the Church never cease to proclaim you to the world.
– Ever-living Christ, hear us.
Through your death and resurrection you took the Church to yourself as a bride:
cherish her, and keep her faithful, and prepare her for the day of your coming.
– Ever-living Christ, hear us.
You are the first and the last, you were dead and now you are alive;
may all the baptized be faithful unto death and gain the crown of glory.
– Ever-living Christ, hear us.
You are the light and joy of the city of God;
shine on the faithful departed that they may reign for ever.
– Ever-living Christ, hear us.

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.

give us the grace of an attentive love
to celebrate these days of joy
devoted to the honour of the Risen Lord.
