Hymnus

1. O thou, the heavens' eternal King, Creator, unto thee we sing, With God the Father ever One, Co-equal, co-eternal Son. 2. Thy hand, when first the world began, Made in thine own pure image man, And linked to Adam, sprung from earth, A living soul of heavenly birth. 3. And when by craft the envious foe Had marred thy noblest work below, Clothed in our flesh, thou didst restore The image thou hadst made before. 4. Once wast thou born of Mary's womb; And now, new-born from out the tomb, O Christ, thou bidd'st us rise with thee From death to immortality. 5. Eternal Shepherd, thou dost lave Thy flock in pure baptismal wave, That mystic bath, that grave of sin, Where ransomed souls new life begin. 6. Redeemer, thou for us didst deign To hang upon the Cross of pain, And give for us the lavish price Of thine own blood in sacrifice. 7. Grant, Lord, in thee each faithful mind Unceasing paschal joy may find; And from the death of sin set free Souls newly born to life by thee. 8. To thee, once dead, who now dost live, All glory, Lord, thy people give, Whom, with the Father, we adore, And Holy Ghost forevermore. Amen.

  14. And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: * indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.

  15. Viam fecit sémitæ iræ suæ, non pepércit a morte anibus eórum: * et juménta eórum in morte conclúsit.
  16. He made a way for a path to his anger: * he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.

  17. Et percússit omne primogénitum in terra Ægýpti: * primítias omnis labóris eórum in taberculis Cham.
  18. And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: * the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.

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:

Deus Pater omnípotens sit nobis propítius et clemens.

De Actibus Apostolórum
Act. 8:9-13

Vir autem quidam nómine Simon, qui ante fúerat in civitáte magus, sedúcens gentem Samaríæ, dicens se esse áliquem magnum: Cui auscultábant omnes a mínimo usque ad máximum, dicéntes: Hic est virtus Dei, quæ vocátur magna. Attendébant autem eum: propter quod multo témpore magíis suis dementásset eos. Cum vero credidíssent Philíppo evangelizánti de regno Dei, in nómine Iesu Christi baptizabántur viri ac mulíeres. Tunc Simon et ipse crédidit: et cum baptizátus esset, adhærébat Philíppo. Videns étiam signa et virtútes máximas fíeri, stupens admirabátur.

There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great. And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices. But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.

Benedictio:

Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.

Lectio 2
Act. 8:14-19

Cum autem audíssent Apóstoli qui erant Ierosólymis, quod recepísset Samaría verbum Dei, misérunt ad eos Petrum et Ioánnem. Qui cum veníssent, oravérunt pro ipsis ut accíperent Spíritum Sanctum: Nondum enim in quemquam illórum vénerat, sed baptizáti tantum erant in nómine Dómini Iesu. Tunc imponébant manus super illos, et accipiébant Spíritum Sanctum. Cum vidísset autem Simon quia per impositiónem manus Apostolórum darétur Spíritus Sanctus, óbtulit eis pecúniam, Dicens: Date et mihi hanc potestátem, ut cuicúmque imposúero manus, accípiat Spíritum Sanctum.

Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris.

Lectio 3
Act. 8:19-24

Petrus autem dixit ad eum: Pecúnia tua tecum sit in perditiónem: quóniam donum Dei existimásti pecúnia possidéri. Non est tibi pars neque sors in sermóne isto: cor enim tuum non est rectum coram Deo. Pœniténtiam ítaque age ab hac nequítia tua: et roga Deum, si forte remittátur tibi hæc cogitátio cordis tui. In felle enim amaritúdinis, et obligatióne iniquitátis, vídeo te esse. Respóndens autem Simon, dixit: Precámini vos pro me ad Dóminum, ut nihil véniat super me horum quæ dixístis.

But Peter said to him: Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity. Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.

Oratio

Orémus.

Præsta, quǽsumus; omnípotens Deus: ut qui paschália festa perégimus, hæc, te largiénte, móribus et vita teneámus.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that we who have celebrated the Paschal Feast, may, by Thy bounty, retain its fruits in our daily habits and behaviour.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
