Hic est dies verus Dei,
sancto serénus lúmine,
quo díluit sanguis sacer
probrósa mundi crímina.
Fidem refúndit pérditis
cæcósque visu illúminat;
quem non gravi solvit metu
latrónis absolútio?
Opus stupent et ángeli,
pœnam vidéntes córporis
Christóque adhæréntem reum
vitam beátam cárpere.
Mystérium mirábile,
ut ábluat mundi luem,
peccáta tollat ómnium
carnis vítia mundans caro,
Quid hoc potest sublímius,
ut culpa quærat grátiam,
metúmque solvat cáritas
reddátque mors vitam novam?
Esto perénne méntibus
paschále, Iesu, gáudium
et nos renátos grátiæ
tuis triúmphis ággrega.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
qui morte victa prǽnites,
cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Love’s redeeming work is done,
fought the fight, the battle won.
Lo, our Sun’s eclipse is o’er!
Lo, he sets in blood no more!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal!
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids him rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
Lives again our victor King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise,
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou!

Ps 106:17-32Ipsi vidérunt ópera Dei et mirabília eius, allelúia.
17Stulti facti sunt in via iniquitátis suæ*
et propter iniustítias suas afflícti sunt;
18omnem escam abomináta est ánima eórum,*
et appropinquavérunt usque ad portas mortis.
19Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur,*
et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.
20Misit verbum suum et sanávit eos*
et erípuit eos de interitiónibus eórum.
21Confiteántur Dómino propter misericórdiam eius*
et mirabília eius in fílios hóminum,
22et sacríficent sacrifícium laudis*
et annúntient ópera eius in exsultatióne.
23Qui descéndunt mare in návibus,*
faciéntes operatiónem in aquis multis,
24ipsi vidérunt ópera Dómini*
et mirabília eius in profúndo.
25Dixit et excitávit spíritum procéllæ,*
et exaltáti sunt fluctus eius.
26Ascéndunt usque ad cælos†
et descéndunt usque ad abýssos;*
ánima eórum in malis tabescébat.
27Turbáti sunt et moti sunt sicut ébrius,*
et omnis sapiéntia eórum devoráta est.
28Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur,*
et de necessitátibus eórum edúxit eos.
29Et státuit procéllam eius in auram,*
et tacuérunt fluctus eius.
30Et lætáti sunt quia siluérunt,*
et dedúxit eos in portum voluntátis eórum.
31Confiteántur Dómino propter misericórdiam eius*
et mirabília eius in fílios hóminum,
32et exáltent eum in ecclésia plebis*

| Psalm 106 (107)They have seen the Lord’s deeds and the wonders he does. Alleluia.
The people were sick because they transgressed,
afflicted because of their sins.
All food was distasteful to them,
they were on the verge of death.
They cried to the Lord in their trouble
and he rescued them from their distress.
He sent forth his word and healed them,
delivered them from their ruin.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his kindness,
for the wonders he works for men:
Let them offer a sacrifice of praise
and proclaim his works with rejoicing.
Those who go down to the sea in ships,
those who trade across the great waters –
they have seen the works of the Lord,
the wonders he performs in the deep.
He spoke, and a storm arose,
and the waves of the sea rose up.
They rose up as far as the heavens
and descended down to the depths:
the sailors’ hearts melted from fear,
they staggered and reeled like drunkards,
terror drove them out of their minds.
But they cried to the Lord in their trouble
and he rescued them from their distress.
He turned the storm into a breeze
and silenced the waves.
They rejoiced at the ending of the storm
and he led them to the port that they wanted.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his kindness,
for the wonders he works for men:
let them exalt him in the assembly of the people,
give him praise in the council of the elders.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
They have seen the Lord’s deeds and the wonders he does. Alleluia.

Ps 106:33-43Vidébunt recti et lætabúntur et intéllegent misericórdias Dómini, allelúia.
33Pósuit flúmina in desértum*
et éxitus aquárum in sitim,
34terram fructíferam in salsúginem*
a malítia inhabitántium in ea.
35Pósuit desértum in stagna aquárum*
et terram sine aqua in éxitus aquárum.
36Et collocávit illic esuriéntes,*
et constituérunt civitátem habitatiónis.
37Et seminavérunt agros et plantavérunt víneas*
et fecérunt fructum in provéntum suum.
38Et benedíxit eis, et multiplicáti sunt nimis,*
et iuménta eórum non minorávit.
39Et pauci facti sunt et vexáti sunt*
a tribulatióne malórum et dolóre.
40Effúdit contemptiónem super príncipes*
et erráre fecit eos in desérto ínvio.
41Et suscépit páuperem de inópia*
et pósuit sicut oves famílias.
42Vidébunt recti et lætabúntur,*
et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.
43Quis sápiens, et custódiet hæc*
et intélleget misericórdias Dómini?
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Vidébunt recti et lætabúntur et intéllegent misericórdias Dómini, allelúia.
| Psalm 106 (107)The upright see and rejoice; they consider the love of the Lord. Alleluia.
The Lord has turned rivers into wilderness,
he has made well-watered lands into desert,
fruitful ground into salty waste
because of the evil of those who dwelt there.
But he has made wilderness into ponds,
deserts into the sources of rivers,
he has called together the hungry
and they have founded a city to dwell in.
They have sowed the fields, planted the vines;
they grow and harvest their produce.
He has blessed them and they have multiplied;
he does not let their cattle decrease.
But those others became few and oppressed
through trouble, evil, and sorrow.
He poured his contempt on their princes
and set them to wander the trackless waste.
But the poor he has saved from their poverty
and their families grow numerous as sheep.
The upright shall see, and be glad,
and all wickedness shall block up its mouth.
Whoever is wise will remember these things
and understand the mercies of the Lord.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
The upright see and rejoice; they consider the love of the Lord. Alleluia.

Duo testes invictiEgo Ioánnes vidi, 1et datus est mihi cálamus símilis virgæ dicens: «Surge et metíre templum Dei et altáre et adorántes in eo. 2Atrium autem, quod est foris templum, éice foras et ne metiáris illud, quóniam datum est géntibus, et civitátem sanctam calcábunt ménsibus quadragínta duóbus. 3Et dabo duóbus téstibus meis, et prophetábunt diébus mille ducéntis sexagínta amícti saccis». 4Hi sunt duæ olívæ et duo candelábra in conspéctu Dómini terræ stantes. 5Et si quis eis vult nocére, ignis exit de ore illórum et dévorat inimícos eórum; et si quis volúerit eos lǽdere, sic opórtet eum occídi. 6Hi habent potestátem claudéndi cælum, ne pluat plúvia diébus prophetíæ ipsórum, et potestátem habent super aquas converténdi eas in sánguinem et percútere terram omni plaga, quotienscúmque volúerint. 7Et cum finíerint testimónium suum, béstia, quæ ascéndit de abýsso, fáciet advérsus illos bellum et vincet eos et occídet illos. 8Et corpus eórum in platéas civitátis magnæ, quæ vocátur spirituáliter Sódoma et Ægýptus, ubi et Dóminus eórum crucifíxus est; 9et vident de pópulis et tríbubus et linguis et géntibus corpus eórum per tres dies et dimídium, et córpora eórum non sinunt poni in monuménto. 10Et inhabitántes terram gaudent super illis et iucundántur et múnera mittent ínvicem, quóniam hi duo prophétæ cruciavérunt eos, qui inhábitant super terram.
11Et post dies tres et dimídium spíritus vitæ a Deo intrávit in eos, et stetérunt super pedes suos; et timor magnus cécidit super eos, qui vidébant eos. 12Et audiérunt vocem magnam de cælo dicéntem illis: «Ascéndite huc»; et ascendérunt in cælum in nube, et vidérunt illos inimíci eórum. 13Et in illa hora factus est terræmótus magnus, et décima pars civitátis cécidit, et occísi sunt in terræmótu nómina hóminum septem mília, et réliqui in timórem sunt missi et dedérunt glóriam Deo cæli.
14Væ secúndum ábiit; ecce væ tértium venit cito.
15Et séptimus ángelus tuba cécinit, et factæ sunt voces magnæ in cælo dicéntes: «Factum est regnum huius mundi Dómini nostri et Christi eius, et regnábit in sǽcula sæculórum».
16Et vigínti quáttuor senióres, qui in conspéctu Dei sedent in thronis suis, cecidérunt super fácies suas et adoravérunt Deum 17dicéntes:
«Grátias ágimus tibi,
Dómine Deus omnípotens,
qui es et qui eras,
quia accepísti virtútem tuam magnam et regnásti.
18Et irátæ sunt gentes,
et advénit ira tua, et tempus mortuórum iudicári
et réddere mercédem servis tuis prophétis et sanctis
et timéntibus nomen tuum, pusíllis et magnis,
et extermináre eos, qui extérminant terram».
19Et apértum est templum Dei in cælo, et visa est arca testaménti eius in templo eius; et facta sunt fúlgura et voces et terræmótus et grando magna.

The two invincible witnessesI was given a long cane as a measuring rod, and I was told, ‘Go and measure God’s sanctuary, and the altar, and the people who worship there; but leave out the outer court and do not measure it, because it has been handed over to pagans – they will trample on the holy city for forty-two months. But I shall send my two witnesses to prophesy for those twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the world. Fire can come from their mouths and consume their enemies if anyone tries to harm them; and if anybody does try to harm them he will certainly be killed in this way. They are able to lock up the sky so that it does not rain as long as they are prophesying; they are able to turn water into blood and strike the whole world with any plague as often as they like. When they have completed their witnessing, the beast that comes out of the Abyss is going to make war on them and overcome them and kill them. Their corpses will lie in the main street of the Great City known by the symbolic names Sodom and Egypt, in which their Lord was crucified. Men out of every people, race, language and nation will stare at their corpses, for three-and-a-half days, not letting them be buried, and the people of the world will be glad about it and celebrate the event by giving presents to each other, because these two prophets have been a plague to the people of the world.’
After the three-and-a-half days, God breathed life into them and they stood up, and everybody who saw it happen was terrified; then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, ‘Come up here’, and while their enemies were watching, they went up to heaven in a cloud. Immediately, there was a violent earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand persons were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors, overcome with fear, could only praise the God of heaven.
That was the second of the troubles; the third is to come quickly after it.
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and voices could be heard shouting in heaven, calling, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ The twenty-four elders, enthroned in the presence of God, prostrated themselves and touched the ground with their foreheads worshipping God with these words, ‘We give thanks to you, Almighty Lord God, He-Is-and-He-Was, for using your great power and beginning your reign. The nations were seething with rage and now the time has come for your own anger, and for the dead to be judged, and for your servants the prophets, for the saints and for all who worship you, small or great, to be rewarded. The time has come to destroy those who are destroying the earth.’
Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened and the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake, and violent hail.

Suum corpus dedit Christus pro vita omniumMórior, inquit Dóminus, pro ómnibus, ut omnes vivíficem per meípsum, et carnem ómnium carne mea redémi. Moriétur enim mors in morte mea, et mecum simul, quæ córruit, inquit, hóminum natúra resúrget.
Factus enim idcírco sum vobis símilis, homo nimírum ex sémine Abraham, ut per ómnia frátribus assímiler. Quod cum recte intellégeret quoque beátus ipse Paulus ait: Quia ergo púeri communicavérunt carni et sánguini, et ipse simíliter participávit eísdem, ut per mortem destrúeret eum, qui habébat mortis impérium, id est diábolum.
Nec enim áliter umquam déstrui póterat is, qui mortis habet impérium, adeóque mors ipsa, nisi dedísset seípsum Christus pro nobis, unus redemptiónem pro ómnibus: erat enim supra omnes.
Proindéque in psalmis ait alícubi, seípsum pro nobis quasi hóstiam immaculátam ófferens Deo ac Patri: Sacrifícium et oblatiónem noluísti, corpus autem perfecísti mihi. Holocáusta et pro peccáto non postulásti; tunc dixi: Ecce vénio.
Crucifíxus autem est pro ómnibus et propter omnes, ut, uno pro cunctis mórtuo, omnes vivámus in ipso; nec enim fíeri póterat, ut morti obnóxia esset aut corruptióni succúmberet secúndum natúram vita. Quod autem pro mundi vita suam carnem Christus obtúlerit, ex eius porro verbis agnoscámus: Pater enim, inquit, sancte, serva eos. Et rursus: Pro eis ego sanctífico meípsum.
Sanctífico ait, pro cónsecro et óffero quasi hóstiam immaculátam in odórem suavitátis. Sanctificabátur enim, sive sanctum iuxta legem vocabátur, id quod super altáre offerebátur. Dedit ergo suum corpus Christus pro vita ómnium, et per ipsum rursus in nobis vitam ínserit; quonam autem pacto, dicam pro víribus.
Postquam enim vivíficum illud Dei Verbum in carne inhabitávit, in suum bonum eam, hoc est ad vitam, reformávit, et omníno ei ineffábili uniónis modo coniúnctum, vivíficam réddidit, non secus ac ipsum est secúndum natúram.
Proínde Christi corpus vivíficat eos, qui eius sunt partícipes: expéllit enim mortem, cum fúerit in morti obnóxiis, et corruptiónem rémovet, ratiónem in seípso páriens, quæ corruptiónem perfécte déleat.

Christ gave his own body for the life of all men“I am dying for all men,” says the Lord. “I am dying to give them life through myself and to redeem the whole human race through my humanity. In my death, death itself will die and man’s fallen nature will rise again with me. I wanted to be like my brothers in every respect, so I became a man like you, a descendant of Abraham.” Understanding this well Saint Paul says: As the children of a family share the same flesh and blood, he too shared our human nature so that by his death he could destroy the power of the devil, the prince of death. Death itself and the prince of death could be destroyed only by Christ, who is above all, giving himself up as a ransom for all.
And so, speaking as a spotless victim offering himself for us to God the Father, Christ says in one of the psalms: You desired no sacrifices or offerings, but you have prepared a body for me. You took no pleasure in holocausts or sin offerings. Then I said, “Behold, I am coming.” He was crucified for all, desiring his one death for all to give all of us life in him. It was impossible for him to be conquered by death; nor could he who by his very nature is life be subject to corruption. Yet we know that Christ offered his flesh for the life of the world from his own prayer, Holy Father, protect them, and from his words, For their sake I consecrate myself. By saying that he consecrates himself he means that he offers himself to God as a spotless and sweet-smelling sacrifice. According to the law, anything offered upon the altar was consecrated and considered holy. So Christ gave his own body for the life of all, and makes it the channel through which life flows once more into us. How he does this I will explain to the best of my ability.
When the life-giving Word of God dwelt in human flesh, he changed it into that good thing which is distinctively his, namely, life; and by being wholly united to the flesh in a way beyond our comprehension, he gave it the life-giving power which he has by his very nature. Therefore, the body of Christ gives life to those who receive it. Its presence in mortal men expels death and drives away corruption because it contains within itself in his entirety the Word who totally abolishes corruption.
