Panem nostrum quotidiánum 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. Amen. \nAve María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen. \nCredo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen. \n \nDeinde, clara voce, dicitur Versus: \n℣. Deus ✠ in adjutórium meum inténde. \n℟. Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína. \nGlória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto. \nSicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto. \n℟. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. \n | \nStart \n \nsilently \nOur Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen. \nHail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. \nI believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. \n \nThereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said: \n℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance; \n℟. O Lord, make haste to help me. \nGlory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost. \nAs it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. \nAlleluia. \n℣. O Lord, + open thou my lips. \n℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise. \n℣. O Lord, open thou my lips. \n℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise. \n℣. O Lord, open thou my lips. \n℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise. \n \nPsalm 3 [0] \n3:2 Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * many are they who rise up against me. \n3:3 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God. \n3:4 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head. \n3:5 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill. \n3:6 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me. \n3:7 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God. \n3:8 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners. \n3:9 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people. \n℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost. \n℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. \n | \n

For as there is danger, on the one hand, of denying the truth of Christ's participation of our nature, so is there no less danger, on the other, of doing despite to the equality of His glory with the glory of the Father. Wherefore, when we draw near to understand the mystery of Christ's Birth, wherein He was born of the Virgin Mary, we must leave the clouds of earthly imagination behind and pierce the fog of human wisdom with the eye of enlightened faith. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. Rejoice with me, all ye that love the Lord. \n* For while I was yet little I pleased the Most High, and from my womb have I brought forth God and man. \n℣. All generations shall call me blessed, for God hath regarded the lowliness of His hand-maiden. \n℟. For while I was yet little I pleased the Most High, and from my womb have I brought forth God and man. \n | \n

Grant, Lord, a blessing. \nBenediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live. \n℟.

Wherefore whether we lend the ear of our mind to the testimony of the Law, or to the revelations of the Prophets, or to the full pealing of the Gospel trumpet, that is true, which John the Son of Thunder, uttered, when he was filled with the Holy Ghost, and said: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. The heart of the Virgin was fixed, when the Angel declared unto her the mystery of God, and she conceived, then did she receive in her pure womb Him That is fairer than the children of men. \n* And, she that is blessed for ever, brought forth for us God and man. \n℣. Soon rises, in that modest shrine, The Temple of the Lord Divine The stainless and unwedded one, Within her womb conceived the Son. \n℟.

Amen. \n \nReading 7 \nTrue also is his witness when he saith: The Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father. John i. 1-3, 14. The Person of the Son of God therefore remaineth unchanged and one, though He have two natures, keeping His own, and taking ours. He appeareth as man to be the restorer of men, but abideth all the while in His immutable Godhead. That Godhead which He shareth with the Father was not a whit the less Almighty, nor did the form of a servant touch the form of God to derogate from it. The Most High and Everlasting Being, bending down for man's salvation, took the Manhood into His glory; He ceased not to be That which He is from everlasting. Hence we see the Only-begotten Son of God in one place confessing that the Father is greater than He, John xiv. 28, and in another declaring that He and the Father are One, x. 30. This is an evident proof of the distinction of His two natures, and the unity of His Person; for He is inferior to the Father as touching His Manhood, and yet equal to the Father as touching His Godhead, and yet, though He be God and Man, He is not two, but One Christ. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. Blessed and worshipful art thou, O Virgin Mary; from thee, still maiden undefiled, the Saviour came a little Child. \n* He Whose glory filled the heavens lay in a manger. \n℣.

Et réliqua. \n \nHomilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi \nLiber 2 in cap. 2 Lucæ, circa medium \nCircumcíditur ítaque Puer. Quis est iste puer, nisi ille, de quo dictum est: Puer natus est nobis, Fílius datus est nobis? Factus est enim sub lege, ut eos, qui sub lege essent, lucrifáceret. Ut sísterent eum Dómino. Quid sit autem in Jerúsalem sisti Dómino, dícerem, nisi in Isaíæ comméntis ante dixíssem. Circumcísus enim vítiis, Domínico dignus judicátur obtútu; quia, Oculi Dómini super justos. \n℣.

May the Gospel's holy lection Be our safety and protection. \n℟. Amen. \n \nReading 9 \nFrom the Holy Gospel according to Luke \nLuke 2:21 \nIn that time, after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus. And so on. \n \nHomily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan. \nBook ii on Luke ii \nSo the Child is circumcised. This is the Child of Whom it is said: Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, Isa. ix. 6. Made under the law to redeem them that were under the law. Gal. iv. 4. To present Him to the Lord, ~22. In my Commentary on Isaiah I have already explained what is meant by being presented to the Lord in Jerusalem, and therefore I will not enter into the subject again. He that is circumcised in heart gaineth the protection of God, for the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous. Ps. xxxiii. 16. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. O Mary, how holy and how spotless is thy virginity! I am too dull to praise thee! \n* For thou hast borne in thy breast Him Whom the heavens cannot contain. \n℣. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. \n℟. For thou hast borne in thy breast Him Whom the heavens cannot contain. \n | \n

Amen. \n \nLectio 10 \nVides omnem legis véteris sériem fuísse typum futúri: nam et circumcísio purgatiónem signíficat delictórum. Sed quóniam prona quadam cupiditáte peccándi, humánæ carnis et mentis fragílitas inextricabílibus vítiis implicátur, eo per octávum circumcisiónis diem culpæ totíus futúra purgátio, resurrectiónis præfigurabátur ætáte. Hoc est enim illud: Quia omne masculínum adapériens vulvam, sanctum Dómino vocábitur. Verbis enim legis promittebátur Vírginis partus. Et vere sanctus, quia immaculátus. \n℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis. \n℟. Deo grátias. \n \n℟.

Domus pudíci péctoris templum repénte fit Dei: intácta nésciens virum, verbo concépit Fílium. \n℟. Salvatórem sæculórum, ipsum Regem Angelórum, sola Virgo lactábat úbere de cælo pleno. \n | \n℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing. \nBenediction. May His blessing be upon us who doth live and reign for ever. \n℟. Amen. \n \nReading 10 \nYe will see that as all the ceremonies of the old law were types of realities in the new, so the circumcision of the body signified the cleansing of the heart from the guilt of sin. But since the body and mind of man remain yet infected with a proneness' to sin, the circumcision of the eighth day is also a type of that complete cleansing from sin which we shall have at the resurrection. This ceremony was also performed in obedience to the commandment of God: Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy unto the Lord. These words were written with especial reference to the delivery of the Blessed Virgin. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. The Virgin-Mother that knew not a man, bore, but travailed not. \n* She fed the Saviour of the world, The King of Angel hosts above, Jesus, our Redeemer blest, From the fountain of her breast. \n℣. Soon rises in that modest shrine, The Temple of the Lord Divine; The stainless and unwedded one, Within her womb conceived the Son. \n℟. She fed the Saviour of the world, The King of Angel hosts above, Jesus, our Redeemer blest, From the fountain of her breast. \n | \n

Solus enim per ómnia ex natis de fémina sanctus Dóminus Jesus, qui terrénæ contágia corruptélæ, immaculáti partus novitáte non sénserit, et cælésti majestáte depúlerit. \n℣.

God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. \n℟. Amen. \n \nReading 11 \nTruly He That opened her womb was holy, for He was altogether without spot, and we may gather that the law was written specially for Him from the words of the Angel: That Holy Thing Which shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God. Among all that are born of women the Lord Jesus Christ stood alone in holiness. Fresh from His immaculate Birth, He felt no contagion from human corruption, and His heavenly Majesty drove it away. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. A child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: \n* And his name shall be called, Wonderful, God the Mighty. \n℣. His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace. \n℟. And his name shall be called, Wonderful, God the Mighty. \n | \n

Sed ille sanctus, quem in figúra futúri mystérii pia legis divínæ præscrípta signábant; eo quod solus sanctæ Ecclésiæ vírginis ad generándos pópulos Dei, immaculátæ fecunditátis aperíret genitále secrétum. \n℣.

Grant, Lord, a blessing. \nBenediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. \n℟. Amen. \n \nReading 12 \nIf we are to follow the letter and say that every male that openeth the womb is holy, how shall we explain that so many have been unrighteous? Was Ahab holy? Were the false prophets holy? Were they holy on whom Elijah justly called down fire from heaven? But He to Whom the sacred commandment of the law of God is mystically directed is the Holy One of Israel; Who also alone hath opened the secret womb of His holy Virgin-bride the Church, filling her with a sinless fruitfulness to give birth to Christian souls. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \n℟. How is the King of heaven attended? He that containeth the world is laid in a stable; \n* Lying in a manger, reigning in heaven. \n℣. Unto us is born, this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, Which is Christ the Lord. \n℟. Lying in a manger, reigning in heaven. \n℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost. \n℟. Lying in a manger, reigning in heaven. \n \nTe Deum \nWe praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. \nAll the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting. \nTo thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein. \nTo thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry. \nbow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth; \nHeaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory. \nThe glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee. \nThe goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee. \nThe noble army of Martyrs * praise thee. \nThe holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee; \nThe Father, * of an infinite Majesty. \nThine honourable, true, * and only Son; \nAlso the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter. \nThou art the King of Glory, * O Christ. \nThou art the everlasting * Son of the Father. \nDuring the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. \nWhen thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. \nThou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father. \nWe believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge. \nKneel for the following verse We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood. \nMake them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting. \nO Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage. \nGovern them, * and lift them up for ever. \nDay by day * we magnify thee; \nDuring the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow.

Amen. \nPrologue to the Rule of our Holy Father Benedict \n \nHearken continually within thine heart, O son, giving attentive ear to the precepts of thy master. Understand with willing mind and effectually fulfil thy holy father’s admonition; that thou mayest return, by the labour of obedience, to Him from Whom, by the idleness of disobedience, thou hadst withdrawn. To this end I now address a word of exhortation to thee, whosoever thou art, who, renouncing thine own will and taking up the bright and all-conquering weapons of obedience, dost enter upon the service of thy true king, Christ the Lord. \n \nIn the first place, then, when thou dost begin any good thing that is to be done, with most insistent prayer beg that it may be carried through by Him to its conclusion; so that He Who already deigns to count us among the number of His children may not at any time be made aggrieved by evil acts on our part. For in such wise is obedience due to Him, on every occasion, by reason of the good He works in us; so that not only may He never, as an irate father, disinherit us His children, but also may never, as a dread-inspiring master made angry by our misdeeds, deliver us over to perpetual punishment as most wicked slaves who would not follow Him to glory. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n \nEven outside of Choir, it is laudible to read the Holy Regula; otherwise, the Short Reading is prayed \nHeb 1:11-12 \nThey shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment. And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail. \n℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. \n℟. Thanks be to God. \n | \n
