Incipit

Hymnus

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.

Psalmus 53

The seed fell * upon good ground, and brought forth its fruit in patience.

Save me, O God, by thy name, * and judge me in thy strength.

    2. O God, hear my prayer: * give ear to the words of my mouth.

  2. Quóniam aliéni insurrexérunt advérsum me, † et fortes quæsiérunt ánimam meam: * et non proposuérunt Deum ante conspéctum suum.

    3. For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: * and they have not set God before their eyes.

  3. Ecce enim Deus ádjuvat me: * et Dóminus suscéptor est ánimæ meæ.

  6. Quóniam ex omni tribulatióne eripuísti me: * et super inimícos meos despéxit óculus meus.

    7. For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: * and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

  7. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Alexandríæ natális sanctæ Apollóniæ, Vírginis et Mártyris, cui persecutóres, sub Décio, dentes omnes primum excussérunt. Deínde, constrúcto ac succénso rogo, iídem commináti sunt, nisi cum eis ímpia verba proférret, vivam se eam incensúros; at illa, cum páululum intra semetípsam deliberásset, repénte se de mánibus impiórum prorípuit, et in ignem, quem paráverant, maióre Sancti Spíritus flamma intus ǽstuans, sponte ita prosilívit, ut perterreréntur étiam ipsi crudelitátis auctóres, quod prómptior invénta esset ad mortem fémina quam persecútor ad pœnam.

Romæ pássio sanctórum Mártyrum Alexándri et aliórum trigínta octo coronatórum.
In castéllo Lemelénsi, in Africa, sanctórum Mártyrum Primi et Donáti Diaconórum, qui, cum altáre in Ecclésia tutaréntur, a Donatístis occísi sunt.
Solis, in Cypro, sanctórum Mártyrum Ammónii et Alexándri.
Antiochíæ sancti Nicéphori Mártyris, qui sub Valeriáno Imperatóre, cápite cæsus, martýrii corónam accépit.
In monastério Fontanéllæ, in Gállia, sancti Ansbérti, Rotomagénsis Epíscopi.

Canúsii, in Apúlia, sancti Sabíni, Epíscopi et Confessóris; qui (ut beátus Gregórius Papa refert), prophétiæ spíritu ac miraculórum dono prǽditus, sibi iam cæco exhíbitum a fámulo, prǽmiis corrúpto, venéni póculum divíno agnóvit instinctu, sed, prænuntiáta mox a Deo suménda de corruptóre vindícta signóque Crucis facto, venénum secúrus ébibit ac nullum ex eo nocuméntum accépit.

℣. Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.
℟. Deo grátias.
℣. Pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini.
℟. Mors Sanctórum eius.
Sancta María et omnes Sancti intercédant pro nobis ad Dóminum, ut nos mereámur ab eo adiuvári et salvári, qui vivit et regnat in sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.

« 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.
