Nocturnus I

Psalmus 1

I am who I am * and my counsel is not with the ungodly, my will is in the law of God, alleluia.

Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

  1. Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.

    2. But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

  2. Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:

    3. And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.

  3. Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.

    4. And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

  4. Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem prójicit ventus a fácie terræ.

    5. Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

  5. Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.

    6. Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.

  6. Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.

    7. For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.

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

I am who I am * and my counsel is not with the ungodly, my will is in the law of God, alleluia.

Psalmus 2

I asked my Father, * alleluia, and he gave me nations, alleluia, as inheritance, alleluia.

Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?

  1. Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.

    2. The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.

  2. Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.

    3. Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.

  3. Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.

    4. He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.

  4. Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.

    5. Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.

  5. Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.

    6. But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.

  6. Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.

    7. The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

  7. Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hereditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.

    8. Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

  8. Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.

    9. Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

  9. Et nunc, reges, intellígite: * erudímini, qui judicátis terram.

    10. And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

  10. Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.

    11. Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.

  11. Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.

    12. Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.

  12. Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus: * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.

    13. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.

Psalmus 3

I have slept * and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me, alleluia, alleluia.

Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * many are they who rise up against me.

  1. Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.

    2. Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.

  2. Tu autem, Dómine, suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.

    3. But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

  3. Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaudívit me de monte sancto suo.

Versus

Pater

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.

Absolutio. Ipsíus píetas et misericórdia nos ádiuvet, qui cum Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivit et regnat in sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Benedictio:

Evangélica léctio sit nobis salus et protéctio.

Lectio 1
Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 28:16-20

In illo témpore: Undecim discípuli abiérunt in Galilǽam in montem, ubi constitúerat illis Iesus. Et réliqua.

At that time: And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And so forth.

Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri
Lib. 4 Comment. in Matth., in fine

Post resurrectiónem Iesus in monte Galilǽæ conspícitur, ibíque adorátur; licet quidam dúbitent, et dubitátio eórum nostram áugeat fidem. Tunc maniféstius osténditur Thomæ, et latus láncea vulnerátum, et manus fixas demónstrat clavis. Accédens Iesus locútus est eis, dicens: Data est mihi omnis potéstas in cælo et in terra. Illi potéstas data est, qui paulo ante crucifíxus, qui sepúltus in túmulo, qui mórtuus iacúerat, qui póstea resurréxit. In cælo autem et in terra potéstas data est: ut qui ante regnábat in cælo, per fidem credéntium regnet et in terris.

After His Resurrection Jesus was seen on a mountain in Galilee, and there He was worshipped; and, albeit some doubted, their doubts have led to a further establishing of our faith. Then He showed Himself more openly unto Thomas, and made him handle the Side That was pierced with the spear, and the Hands wherein were the holes of the nails. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying: All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Yea, all power is given unto Him Who but a little while before had been crucified, and buried in the grave, and had lain among the dead, but Who also had risen again. Power is given unto Him in heaven and in earth, that He Who of everlasting had been King of heaven, might have a Monarchy on earth also, through the faith of them which believe in Him.

Benedictio:

Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Lectio 2

Eúntes autem docéte omnes gentes, baptizántes eos in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Primum docent omnes gentes, deínde doctas intíngunt aqua. Non enim potest fíeri, ut corpus baptísmi recípiat sacraméntum, nisi ante ánima fídei suscéperit veritátem. Baptizántur autem in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti: ut quorum una est divínitas, una sit largítio: noménque Trinitátis, unus Deus est.

Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. First, they teach all nations; then, they wash with water them whom they have taught. For it is impossible for the body to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, unless the mind first receive the truth of the faith. And they are baptized In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost for, even as the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all One, so is the one grace of Baptism the gift of all the Three Divine Persons: and the Name of the Trinity is the Name of One God.

Benedictio:

Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Lectio 3

Docéntes eos serváre ómnia, quæcúmque mandávi vobis. Ordo præcípuus: iussit Apóstolis, ut primum docérent univérsas gentes, deínde fídei intíngerent sacraménto, et post fidem ac baptísma, quæ essent observánda præcíperent. Ac ne putémus lévia esse, quæ iussa sunt, et pauca, áddidit: Omnia quæcúmque mandávi vobis: ut quicúmque credíderint, qui in Trinitáte fúerint baptizáti, ómnia fáciant, quæ præcépta sunt. Et ecce ego vobíscum sum usque ad consummatiónem sǽculi. Qui usque ad consummatiónem sǽculi cum discípulis se futúrum esse promíttit, et illos osténdit semper esse victúros, et se nunquam a credéntibus recessúrum.

Preaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. The order of the Lord's commands to the Apostles is markedly this. First, to teach all nations; secondly, to make them partake in the Sacrament of the faith; thirdly, when they had believed and been baptized, to teach them what to observe. And lest we should think that He commanded things light and few, He hath said: All things whatsoever I have commanded you, so that all, who have believed and been baptized in the Name of the Trinity, are bound to observe all things whatsoever He hath commanded. And, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. He Who promiseth that He will be with His disciples even unto the end of the world, doth give them thereby to know that they will be always conquerors, and that He will never fail any who believe in Him.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.

Oratio

Orémus.

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui paschále sacraméntum in reconciliatiónis humánæ fœ́dere contulísti: † da méntibus nostris; * ut quod professióne celebrámus, imitémur efféctu.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Almighty and eternal God, in the Easter sacrament thou instituted the covenant, whereby thou forgavest mankind; grant to our souls, that what we outwardly profess we may show forth in our deeds.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
