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.
- Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
- Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
- Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
- Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem prójicit ventus a fácie terræ.
- Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
- Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
- Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
- Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
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.
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?
- Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
- Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
- Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
- Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
- Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
- Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
- Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hereditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
- Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
- Et nunc, reges, intellígite: * erudímini, qui judicátis terram.
- Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
- Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.
- Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus: * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
- Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
- Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
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.
I asked my Father, * alleluia, and he gave me nations, alleluia, as inheritance, alleluia.
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.
- Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
- Tu autem, Dómine, suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.
- Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaudívit me de monte sancto suo.
- Ego dormívi, et soporátus sum: * et exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.
- Non timébo míllia pópuli circumdántis me: * exsúrge, Dómine, salvum me fac, Deus meus.
- Quóniam tu percussísti omnes adversántes mihi sine causa: * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.
- Dómini est salus: * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.
- Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
- Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
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.
I have slept * and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me, alleluia, alleluia.
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. Exáudi, Dómine Iesu Christe, preces servórum tuórum, et miserére nobis: Qui cum Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Evangélica léctio sit nobis salus et protéctio.
Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 24:13-35
In illo témpore: Duo ex discípulis Iesu ibant ipsa die in castéllum, quod erat in spátio stadiórum sexagínta ab Ierúsalem, nómine Emmaus. Et réliqua.
And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus. And so forth.
Homilia 23 in Evangelia
Audístis, fratres caríssimi, quia duóbus discípulis ambulántibus in via, non quidem credéntibus, sed tamen de se loquéntibus, Dóminus appáruit: sed eis spéciem, quam recognóscerent, non osténdit. Hoc ergo egit foris Dóminus in óculis córporis, quod apud ipsos agebátur intus in óculis cordis. Ipsi namque apud semetípsos intus et amábant, et dubitábant: eis autem Dóminus foris et præsens áderat, et quis esset non ostendébat. De se ergo loquéntibus præséntiam exhíbuit: sed de se dubitántibus cognitiónis suæ spéciem abscóndit.
Dearly beloved brethren, ye hear, how that while two of His disciples walked together in the way, not believing in His Resurrection, but talking, together concerning Him, the Lord manifested Himself unto them, but yet held their eyes that they should not know Him. This holding of the eyes of their body, wrought by the Lord, was a figure of the spiritual veil which was yet upon the eyes of their heart. For in their heart they loved and yet doubted: even as the Lord drew near to them outwardly, but showed not Who He was. To them that talked together of Him, He revealed His immediate presence; but hid, from them that doubted, the knowledge of His Person.
Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
Verba quidem cóntulit, durítiam intelléctus increpávit, sacræ Scriptúræ mystéria, quæ de seípso erant, apéruit: et tamen quia adhuc in eórum córdibus peregrínus erat a fide, se ire lóngius finxit. Fíngere namque, compónere dícimus: unde et compositóres luti, fígulos vocámus. Nihil ergo simplex Véritas per duplicitátem fecit: sed talem se eis exhíbuit in córpore, qualis apud illos erat in mente. Probándi autem erant, si hi, qui eum etsi necdum ut Deum dilígerent, saltem ut peregrínum amáre potuíssent.
He spoke to them; He rebuked the hardness of their heart; He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself: and, nevertheless, seeing that He was yet a stranger to faith in their hearts, He made as though He would have gone further. These words He made as though would here seem to mean He feigned, but He Who is simple Truth doth nothing with feigning: He only showed Himself to them in bodily manners, as He was towards them spiritually; but they were put to the proof whether, though they loved Him not yet as their God, they could love Him at least as a wayfarer.
Gloria adduntur:
Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
Sed quia esse extránei a caritáte non póterant hi, cum quibus Véritas gradiebátur: eum ad hospítium quasi peregrínum vocant. Cur autem dícimus, vocant, cum illic scriptum sit: Et coëgérunt eum? Ex quo nimírum exémplo collígitur, quia peregríni ad hospítium non solum invitándi sunt, sed étiam trahéndi. Mensam ígitur ponunt, panes cibósque ófferunt: et Deum, quem in Scriptúræ sacræ expositióne non cognóverant, in panis fractióne cognóscunt. Audiéndo ergo præcépta Dei illumináti non sunt, faciéndo illumináti sunt: quia scriptum est: Non auditóres legis iusti sunt apud Deum, sed factóres legis iustificabúntur. Quisquis ergo vult audíta intellégere, festínet ea, quæ iam audíre pótuit, ópere implére. Ecce Dóminus non est cógnitus dum loquerétur, et dignátus est cognósci, dum páscitur.
But since it was impossible, that they with whom Truth walked, should be loveless, they asked Him as a wayfarer to take of their hospitality. But why say we that they asked Him, when it is written: And they constrained Him? From their example we learn that we ought not only to bid, but also to urge, wayfarers to our hospitable entertainment. They laid a table therefore, and set before Him bread and meat; and that God Whom they had not known in the expounding of the Holy Scripture, they knew in the breaking of bread. In hearing the commandments of God they were not enlightened, but they were enlightened in the doing of them: as it is written: Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. (Rom. ii. 13.) Whosoever therefore will understand that which he heareth, let him make haste to practice in his works that which he hath already been able to hear. Behold, the Lord was not known while He spake, but He was contented to be known when He broke bread.
Oratio
Orémus.
Deus, qui solemnitáte pascháli, mundo remédia contulísti: † pópulum tuum, quǽsumus; cælésti dono proséquere; * ut et perféctam libertátem cónsequi mereátur, * et ad vitam profíciat sempitérnam.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O God, Who dost heal the sick world by the solemn gladness of the Passover, continue, we beseech thee, to pour forth thine heavenly gifts upon thy people, till the same shall bring them into perfect liberty, and finally avail them unto life everlasting.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
