Hymnus

1. This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness On this feast day year by year receiveth Merited honors. 2. Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour, Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly. While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members, Quickened his being. 3.

Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour, Chanting his praises with devout affection, That in his merits we may have a portion, Now and forever. 5. His be the glory, power and salvation, Who over all things reigneth in the highest, Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing, Onely and Trinal. Amen.

Psalmus 106 (31,43)

Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.

  1. Et exáltent eum in ecclésia plebis: * et in cáthedra seniórum laudent eum.

    2. And let them exalt him in the church of the people: * and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

  2. Pósuit flúmina in desértum: * et éxitus aquárum in sitim.

    3. He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: * and the sources of water into dry ground:

  3. Terram fructíferam in salsúginem: * a malítia inhabitántium in ea.

    4. A fruitful land into barrenness, * for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

  4. Pósuit desértum in stagna aquárum: * et terram sine aqua in éxitus aquárum.

    5. He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, * and a dry land into water springs.

  5. Et collocávit illic esuriéntes: * et constituérunt civitátem habitatiónis.

    6. And hath placed there the hungry; * and they made a city for their habitation.

  6. Et seminavérunt agros, et plantavérunt víneas: * et fecérunt fructum nativitátis.

    7. And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: * and they yielded fruit of birth.

    8. And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: * and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

  8. Et pauci facti sunt: * et vexáti sunt a tribulatióne malórum, et dolóre.

    9. Then they were brought to be few: * and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

  9. Effúsa est contémptio super príncipes: * et erráre fecit eos in ínvio, et non in via.

    10. Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: *and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

  10. Et adjúvit páuperem de inópia: * et pósuit sicut oves famílias.

    11. And he helped the poor out of poverty: * and made him families like a flock of sheep.

  11. Vidébunt recti, et lætabúntur: * et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.

    12. The just shall see, and shall rejoice, * and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.

  12. Quis sápiens et custódiet hæc? * et intélliget misericórdias Dómini.

    13. Who is wise, and will keep these things: * and will understand the mercies of the Lord?

De Epístola secúnda beáti Petri Apóstoli
2 Pet 3:1-7

Hanc ecce vobis, caríssimi, secúndam scribo epístolam, in quibus vestram éxcito in commonitióne sincéram mentem: Ut mémores sitis eórum, quæ prædíxi, verbórum, a sanctis prophétis et apostolórum vestrórum, præceptórum Dómini et Salvatóris. Hoc primum sciéntes, quod vénient in novíssimis diébus in deceptióne illusóres, iuxta próprias concupiscéntias ambulántes, Dicéntes: Ubi est promíssio, aut advéntus eius? ex quo enim patres dormiérunt, ómnia sic perséverant ab inítio creatúræ. Latet enim eos hoc voléntes, quod cæli erant prius, et terra de aqua, et per aquam consístens Dei verbo: Per quæ, ille tunc mundus aqua inundátus, périit. Cæli autem, qui nunc sunt, et terra eódem verbo repósiti sunt, igni reserváti in diem iudícii, et perditiónis impiórum hóminum.

Behold this second epistle I write to you, my dearly beloved, in which I stir up by way of admonition your sincere mind: That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour. Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God. Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of the ungodly men.

Benedictio:

Cuius festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Lectio 2
2 Pet 3:8-13

Unum vero hoc non láteat vos, caríssimi, quia unus dies apud Dóminum sicut mille anni, et mille anni sicut dies unus. Non tardat Dóminus promissiónem suam, sicut quidam exístimant: sed patiénter agit propter vos, nolens áliquos períre, sed omnes ad pœniténtiam revérti. Advéniet autem dies Dómini ut fur: in quo cæli magno ímpetu tránsient, eleménta vero calóre solvéntur, terra autem et quæ in ipsa sunt ópera, exuréntur. Cum ígitur hæc ómnia dissolvénda sunt, quales opórtet vos esse in sanctis conversatiónibus, et pietátibus, Exspectántes, et properántes in advéntum diéi Dómini, per quem cæli ardéntes solvéntur, et eleménta ignis ardóre tabéscent? Novos vero cælos, et novam terram secúndum promíssa ipsíus exspectámus, in quibus iustítia hábitat.

But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance. But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up. Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness? Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat? But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.

2 Pet 3:14-18

Propter quod, caríssimi, hæc exspectántes, satágite immaculáti, et invioláti ei inveníri in pace: Et Dómini nostri longanimitátem, salútem arbitrémini: sicut et caríssimus frater noster Paulus secúndum datam sibi sapiéntiam scripsit vobis, Sicut et in ómnibus epístolis, loquens in eis de his in quibus sunt quædam difficília intelléctu, quæ indócti et instábiles deprávant, sicut et céteras Scriptúras, ad suam ipsórum perditiónem. Vos ígitur fratres, præsciéntes custodíte, ne insipiéntium erróre tradúcti excidátis a própria firmitáte: Créscite vero in grátia, et in cognitióne Dómini nostri, et Salvatóris Iesu Christi. Ipsi glória et nunc, et in diem æternitátis. Amen.

Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.

Ubáldus, Eugúbii in Umbria nóbili génere natus, a primis annis pietáte et lítteris egrégie est institútus; iamque adoléscens, ut uxórem dúceret, sæpe tentátus, nunquam tamen a propósito servándæ virginitátis recéssit. Sacérdos efféctus, patrimónium suum paupéribus et ecclésiis distríbuit. Canonicórum regulárium órdinis sancti Augustíni institútum suscípiens, illud in pátriam tránstulit. Ab Honório secúndo summo Pontífice ecclésiæ Eugubínæ invítus præfícitur, et episcopális consecratiónis múnere decorátur. Factus forma gregis ex ánimo, de consuéta vivéndi ratióne nihil ádmodum immutávit, et in omni virtútum génere enítuit. Diútius infirmitátibus afflíctus, Deo indesinénter grátias agébat. Cum multis annis ecclésiam sibi commíssam summa cum laude gubernásset, sanctis opéribus et miráculis clarus, quiévit in pace.

St. Ubald was born of a noble family at Gubbio in Umbria, and was well trained, from his earliest years, in devotion and in letters. As a young man, he was often urged to marry, but he never gave up his determination to preserve his virginity. When he was made a priest, he distributed his patrimony to the poor and to churches. He entered the Institute of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine and brought it to his own country. Against his will, he was put over the Church of Gubbio by Pope Honorius II and given episcopal consecration. Making himself with his whole heart a model for his flock, he changed nothing in his way of life and became illustrious for every kind of virtue. Although he suffered from various infirmities for a long time, he never ceased to give thanks to God. When he had governed the Church entrusted to him for many years in a way deserving of the highest praise, he fell asleep in peace, famous for his works and miracles.

Graciously help us, we beseech thee, O Lord, and at the petition of thy blessed Confessor and Bishop Ubald, stretch forth the right hand of thy mercy to shield us against all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
