Tempora: Feria III infra Hebdomadam II post Epiphaniam
1. Now in the sun's new dawning ray, Lowly of heart, our God we pray That he from harm may keep us free In all the deeds this day shall see. 2. May fear of him our tongues restrain, Lest strife unguarded speech should stain: His favouring care our guardian be, Lest our eyes feed on vanity. 3. May every heart be pure from sin And folly find no place therein: Scant need of food, excess denied, Wear down in us the body's pride. 4. That when the light of day is gone, And night in course shall follow on. We, free from cares the world affords, May chant the praise that is our Lord's. 5. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, Eternal Son, to thee: All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.
In thee, O my God, * I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: * In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: * for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
Let all them be confounded that act unjust things * without cause.
Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, * and teach me thy paths.
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; * for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; * and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
The sins of my youth * and my ignorances do not remember.
According to thy mercy remember thou me: * for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Lord is sweet and righteous: * therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
He will guide 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 after his covenant and his testimonies.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: * for it is great.
Who is the man that feareth the Lord? * He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
His soul shall dwell in good things: * and his seed shall inherit the land.
The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: * and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
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 troubles of my heart are multiplied: * deliver me from my necessities.
See my abjection and my labour; * and forgive me all my sins.
Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, * and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: * I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: * because I have waited on thee.
Deliver Israel, O God, * from all his tribulations.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
In thee, O my God, * I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
Regi sæculórum immortáli et invisíbili, † soli Deo honor et glória in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Orémus.
Dómine Deus omnípotens, qui ad princípium huius diéi nos perveníre fecísti: † tua nos hódie salva virtúte; * ut in hac die ad nullum declinémus peccátum, sed semper ad tuam iustítiam faciéndam nostra procédant elóquia, dirigántur cogitatiónes et ópera.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day: defend us by thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always what is righteous in thy sight.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
Romæ pássio sanctæ Agnétis, Vírginis et Mártyris; quæ, sub Præfécto Urbis Symphrónio, ígnibus iniécta, sed iis per oratiónem eius exstínctis, gládio percússa est. De ea beátus Hierónymus hæc scribit: « Omnium géntium lítteris atque linguis, præcípue in Ecclésiis, Agnétis vita laudáta est; quæ et ætátem vicit et tyránnum, et títulum castitátis martýrio consecrávit ».
Athénis natális sancti Públii Epíscopi, qui Atheniénsium Ecclésiam, post sanctum Dionýsium Areopagítam, nobíliter rexit; et, præclárus virtútibus ac doctrínæ laude præfúlgens, ob Christi martýrium glorióse coronátur.
Tarracóne, in Hispánia, sanctórum Mártyrum Fructuósi Epíscopi, Augúrii et Eulógii Diaconórum. Hi, témpore Galliéni, primo in cárcerem trusi, deínde flammis iniécti, et, exústis vínculis, mánibus in modum crucis expánsis orántes, martýrium complevérunt; in quorum die natáli sanctus Augustínus sermónem ad pópulum hábuit.
In monastério Einsidlénsi, apud Helvétios, sancti Meinrádi, Presbýteri et Mónachi; qui eódem in loco, ubi póstea monastérium ipsum excrévit, eremíticæ inténtus vitæ, a latrónibus interféctus est. Ipsíus vero beáti viri corpus, olim in Augiénsi Germániæ monastério sepúltum, ad Einsidlénse monastérium deínde relátum fuit.
Trecis, in Gállia, sancti Pátrocli Mártyris, qui martýrii corónam sub Aureliáno Imperatóre proméruit.« Pater Noster » dicitur secreto usque ad « Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: »
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:
Orémus.
Dirígere et sanctificáre, régere et gubernáre dignáre, Dómine Deus, Rex cæli et terræ, hódie corda et córpora nostra, sensus, sermónes et actus nostros in lege tua, et in opéribus mandatórum tuórum: † ut hic et in ætérnum, te auxiliánte, salvi et líberi esse mereámur, Salvátor mundi: Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, Almighty God, King of heaven and earth, Saviour of the world, bless, lead, rule and govern our hearts and bodies, our senses, words and deeds today, following thy law and commandments, that here and for eternity with thy help we shall be saved in freedom. Who livest and reignest, world without end.
Dies et actus nostros in sua pace dispónat Dóminus omnípotens.
Dóminus autem dírigat corda et córpora nostra in caritáte Dei et patiéntia Christi.
