Hymnus

1. O strength and stay upholding all creation, Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide, Yet day by day the light in due gradation From hour to hour through all its changes guide: 2. Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending, An eve untouched by shadows of decay, The brightness of a holy death-bed blending With dawning glories of th’ eternal day. 3. Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving, And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word, Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living Now and to endless ages art adored. Amen.

Psalmus 43 (2,9)

We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,

  1. Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.

    2. The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.

  2. Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.

    3. Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

  3. Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos:

    4. For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

  4. Sed déxtera tua, et bráchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui, * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

    5. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.

  5. Tu es ipse Rex meus et Deus meus: * qui mandas salútes Jacob.

    6. Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.

  6. In te inimícos nostros ventilábimus cornu: * et in nómine tuo spernémus insurgéntes in nobis.

    7. Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

  7. Non enim in arcu meo sperábo: * et gládius meus non salvábit me.

    8. For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.

  8. Salvásti enim nos de affligéntibus nos: * et odiéntes nos confudísti.

    9. But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: * and hast put them to shame that hate us.

  9. In Deo laudábimur tota die: * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sǽculum.

    10. In God shall we glory all the day long: * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

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

    11. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

  11. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

    12. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 43 (10,20)

But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

  1. Avertísti nos retrórsum post inimícos nostros: * et qui odérunt nos, diripiébant sibi.

    2. Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

  2. Dedísti nos tamquam oves escárum: * et in Géntibus dispersísti nos.

    3. Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.

  3. Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine prétio: * et non fuit multitúdo in commutatiónibus eórum.

    4. Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

  4. Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.

    5. Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

  5. Posuísti nos in similitúdinem Géntibus: * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.

    6. Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.

  6. Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me.

    7. All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.

  7. A voce exprobrántis, et obloquéntis: * a fácie inimíci, et persequéntis.

    8. At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

  8. Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos, nec oblíti sumus te: * et iníque non égimus in testaménto tuo.

    9. All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

  9. Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum: * et declinásti sémitas nostras a via tua:

    10. And our heart hath not turned back: * neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

  10. Quóniam humiliásti nos in loco afflictiónis, * et coopéruit nos umbra mortis.

    11. For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: * and the shadow of death hath covered us.

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

    12. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

  12. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

    13. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 43 (21,26)

If we have forgotten the name of our God, * and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

  1. Nonne Deus requíret ista? * ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.

    2. Shall not God search out these things: * for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

  2. Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die: * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.

    3. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: * we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

  3. Exsúrge, quare obdórmis, Dómine? * exsúrge, et ne repéllas in finem.

    4. Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? * arise, and cast us not off to the end.

  4. Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ, et tribulatiónis nostræ?

    5. Why turnest thou thy face away? * and forgettest our want and our trouble?

  5. Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra: * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.

    6. For our soul is humbled down to the dust: * our belly cleaveth to the earth.

  6. Exsúrge, Dómine, ádjuva nos: * et rédime nos propter nomen tuum.

    7. Arise, O Lord, help us * and redeem us for thy name’s sake.

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

    8. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

  8. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

    9. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Capitulum Responsorium Versus

Sir 45:19-20

Fungi sacerdótio, et habére laudem in nómine ipsíus, et offérre illi incénsum dignum in odórem suavitátis.

To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name. He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour.



Oratio

Orémus.

Deus, qui, ad conteréndos Ecclésiæ tuæ hostes et ad divínum cultum reparándum, beátum Pium Pontíficem Máximum elígere dignátus es: † fac nos ipsíus deféndi præsídiis et ita tuis inhærére obséquiis; * ut, ómnium hóstium superátis insídiis, perpétua pace lætémur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

O God, Who when Thou wast pleased to break the teeth of them that hate thy Church, and to restore again the solemn worship of thyself, didst choose the blessed Pope Pius to work for thee in that matter, grant that he may still be a tower of strength for us. Grant that we also may be more than conquerors over all that make war upon our souls, and in the end may enter into perfect peace in thy presence.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
