Consors patérni lúminis,
lux ipse lucis et dies,
noctem canéndo rúmpimus:
assíste postulántibus.
Aufer ténebras méntium,
fuga catérvas dǽmonum,
expélle somnoléntiam
ne pigritántes óbruat.
Sic, Christe, nobis ómnibus
indúlgeas credéntibus,
ut prosit exorántibus
quod præcinéntes psállimus.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime,
tibi Patríque glória
cum Spíritu Paráclito,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Worship, glory, praise and honour
To our God, high-throned above:
We, with many generations
Join to praise thy name of love.
In the scriptures, by the Spirit,
May we see the Saviour’s face,
Hear his word and heed his calling,
Know his will and grow in grace.

Ps 9B:12-18Tu, Dómine, labórem et dolórem consíderas.
12Exsúrge, Dómine Deus; exálta manum tuam,*
ne obliviscáris páuperum.
13Propter quid spernit ímpius Deum?*
Dixit enim in corde suo: «Non requíres».
14Vidísti:†
tu labórem et dolórem consíderas,*
ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
Tibi derelíctus est pauper,*
órphano tu factus es adiútor.
15Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni;*
quæres peccátum illíus et non invénies.
16Dóminus rex in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi:*
periérunt gentes de terra illíus.
17Desidérium páuperum exaudísti, Dómine;*
confirmábis cor eórum, inténdes aurem tuam
18iudicáre pupíllo et húmili,*
ut non appónat ultra indúcere timórem homo de terra.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Tu, Dómine, labórem et dolórem consíderas.
| Psalm 9B (10)Lord, you have seen our trouble and our sorrow.
Rise up, Lord, raise your hand!
Do not forget the weak.
Why does the wicked man spurn God?
Because he says to himself, “you will not take revenge.”
But you do see: you see the trouble and the pain,
and then you take things into your own hands.
The weak fall to your care,
and you are the help of the orphan.
Break the arms of the sinner and evil-doer:
seek out wickedness until there is no more to be found.
The Lord is King for ever and for ever.
The Gentiles have perished from his land.
You have heard the prayer of the weak, Lord,
and you will strengthen their hearts.
You will lend your ear to the pleas of the orphans and the helpless,
so mere mortals can frighten them no longer.
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.
Lord, you have seen our trouble and our sorrow.

Iustitia Iob pristinaDixit Iob:
1«Pépigi fœdus cum óculis meis,
ut ne cogitárem quidem de vírgine.
2Quæ enim pars mea apud Deum désuper,
et quæ heréditas apud Omnipoténtem in excélsis?
3Numquid non perdítio est iníquo,
et alienátio operántibus iniustítiam?
4Nonne ipse consíderat vias meas
et cunctos gressus meos dinúmerat?
5Si ambulávi in vanitáte,
et festinávit in dolo pes meus,
6appéndat me in statéra iusta
et sciat Deus integritátem meam.
7Si declinávit gressus meus de via,
et si secútum est óculos meos cor meum,
et si mánibus meis adhǽsit mácula,
8seram, et álius cómedat,
et progénies mea eradicétur.
13Si contémpsi subíre iudícium cum servo meo et ancílla mea,
cum disceptárent advérsum me,
14quid enim fáciam, cum surréxerit ad iudicándum Deus,
et, cum quæsíerit, quid respondébo illi?
15Numquid non in ventre fecit me,
qui et illum operátus est,
et formávit me in viscéribus unus?
16Si negávi, quod volébant, paupéribus
et óculos víduæ languéscere feci;
17si comédi buccéllam meam solus,
et non comédit pupíllus ex ea,
18quia ab infántia mea educávi eum ut pater
et de ventre matris meæ diréxi eam;
19si despéxi pereúntem, eo quod non habúerit induméntum,
et absque operiménto páuperem;
20si non benedixérunt mihi látera eius,
et de velléribus óvium meárum calefáctus est;
21si levávi super pupíllum manum meam,
cum vidérem in porta adiutórium mihi,
22úmerus meus a iunctúra sua cadat,
et bráchium meum cum óssibus lacertórum confringátur,
23quia timor super me calámitas a Deo,
et contra maiestátem eius nihil valérem!
35Quis mihi tríbuat auditórem?
Ecce signum meum! Omnípotens respóndeat mihi!
Ecce liber, quem scripsit vir litis meæ,
36ut in úmero meo portem illum
et álligem illum quasi corónam mihi.
37Númerum gráduum meórum pronuntiábo illi
et quasi príncipem adíbo eum».

Job’s former righteousnessJob said:
I made a pact with my eyes,
not to linger on any virgin.
Now, what shares does God deal out on high,
what lots does Shaddai assign from heaven,
if not disaster for the wicked,
and calamities for the iniquitous?
But surely he sees how I behave,
does he not count all my steps?
Have I been a fellow traveller with falsehood,
or hastened my steps towards deceit?
If he weighs me on honest scales,
being God, he cannot fail to see my innocence.
If my feet have wandered from the rightful path,
or if my eyes have led my heart astray,
or if my hands are smirched with any stain,
let another eat what I have sown,
and let my young shoots all be rooted out.
If ever I have infringed the rights of slave
or maidservant in legal actions against me —
what shall I do, when God stands up?
What shall I say, when he holds his assize?
They, no less than I, were created in the womb
by the one same God who shaped us all within our mothers.
Have I been insensible to poor men’s needs,
or let a widow’s eyes grow dim?
Or taken my share of bread alone,
not giving a share to the orphan?
I, whom God has fostered father-like, from childhood,
and guided since I left my mother’s womb.
Have I ever seen a wretch in need of clothing,
or a beggar going naked,
without his having cause to bless me from his heart,
as he felt the warmth of the fleece from my lambs?
Have I raised my hand against the guiltless,
presuming on my credit at the gate?
If so, then let my shoulder fall from its socket,
my arm be shattered at the joint.
God’s terror would indeed descend on me;
how could I hold my ground before his majesty?
Who can get me a hearing from God?
I have had my say, from A to Z; now let Shaddai answer me.
When my adversary has drafted his writ against me
I shall wear it on my shoulder,
and bind it round my head like a royal turban.
I will give him an account of every step of my life,
and go as boldly as a prince to meet him.

De falsa pace spiritaliQui sese accusáverit, quidquid incómmodi, damni, probri, ignomíniæ vel alteríus cuiuscúmque afflictiónis incúrrerit, ómnia hílare súscipit, ómnibus digníssimum se putat, neque ullo modo turbári potest. Quid hoc hómine quiétius?
Sed mihi fortásse quis obíciet: « Quid si me afflígat frater quærénsque nullam me invéniam occasiónem dedísse, cur me accusáre débeam? ».
Profécto si se quis cum Dei timóre diligénter exáminet, numquam omníno se insóntem invéniet videbítque vel actu vel verbo vel figúra ullam a se occasiónem datam. Quod si in nullo horum se tunc sontem invéniet, profécto álio témpore afflíxit fratrem illum vel eádem vel dissímili in re; aut forte quémpiam álium fratrem vexávit. Quare hoc mérito repátitur, vel ob ália quæ álias plúrima peccáta commísit.
Quærit álius cur seípsum accúset, cum sedens in omni pace et quiéte afflígitur a superveniénte fratre verbo ullo vel molésto vel ignominióso, quod cum pati non queat, irásci se putat et turbári cum ratióne; quia nisi incidísset ille et locútus fuísset et turbatiónem fecísset, numquam peccásset?
Hoc certe ridículum est nulláque nítitur ratióne. Neque enim ex hoc quod verbum ullum díxerit passiónem iræ illi iniécit, quin pótius osténdit, qua laboráret passióne; ut, si vellet, pæniténtiam ágeret. Hic silígini símilis factus est nítidæ et splendénti, quam cum quis frégerit, cænum eius patefáciet.
Sic qui sedet quiétus et pacíficus, ut exístimat, passiónem intus habet quam non videt. Supérvenit frater, verbum áliquod moléstum óbicit statímque pus omne et lutum quod intus latébat, evómitur. Quare si misericórdiam vult cónsequi, pæniténtiam agat, purget se, profícere stúdeat videbítque debuísse magis sese fratri illi grátias quam iniúriam reférre, qui tantæ sibi fúerit utilitátis occásio. Non enim póstmodum tentatiónibus ádeo afflígitur, sed quanto profécerit magis, tanto illas séntiet levióres. Nam quanto próficit ánima, tanto fit fórtior et valéntior ad ferénda quæcúmque dura contígerint.

On false spiritual peaceThe man who finds fault with himself accepts all things cheerfully – misfortune, loss, disgrace, dishonour and any other kind of adversity. He believes that he is deserving of all these things and nothing can disturb him. No one could be more at peace than this man.
But perhaps you will offer me this objection: “Suppose my brother injures me, and on examining myself I find that I have not given him any cause. Why should I blame myself?”
Certainly if someone examines himself carefully and with fear of God, he will never find himself completely innocent. He will see that he has given some provocation by an action, a word or by his manner. If he does find that he is not guilty in any of these ways, certainly he must have injured that brother somehow at some other time. Or perhaps he has been a source of annoyance to some other brother. For this reason he deserves to endure the injury because of many other sins that he has committed on other occasions.
Someone else asks why he should accuse himself when he was sitting peacefully and quietly when a brother came upon him with an unkind or insulting word. He cannot tolerate it, and so he thinks that his anger is justified. If that brother had not approached him and said those words and upset him, he never would have sinned.
This kind of thinking is surely ridiculous and has no rational basis. For the fact that he has said anything at all in this situation breaks the cover on the passionate anger within him, which is all the more exposed by his excessive anxiety. If he wished, he would do penance. He has become like a clean, shiny grain of wheat that, when broken, is full of dirt inside.
The man who thinks that he is quiet and peaceful has within him a passion that he does not see. A brother comes up, utters some unkind word and immediately all the venom and mire that lie hidden within him are spewed out. If he wishes mercy, he must do penance, purify himself and strive to become perfect. He will see that he should have returned thanks to his brother instead of returning the injury, because his brother has proven to be an occasion of profit to him. It will not be long before he will no longer be bothered by these temptations. The more perfect he grows, the less these temptations will affect him. For the more the soul advances, the stronger and more powerful it becomes in bearing the difficulties that it meets.

℟. Vere scio quod non iustificétur homo compósitus Deo.* Quantus ergo sum ego, ut respóndeam ei et loquar deléctis verbis cum eo?
℣. Ecce inter sanctos eius nemo immutábilis et cæli non sunt mundi in conspéctu eius.* Quantus.
|
℟. Indeed I know that no man can be in the right against God.* How dare I plead my cause, then, or choose arguments against him?
℣. In his own Holy Ones God puts no trust, and the heavens themselves are not clean in his eyes.* How dare I plead my cause, then, or choose arguments against him?

Oremus.
Deus, cuius providéntia in sui dispositióne non fállitur, te súpplices exorámus, ut nóxia cuncta submóveas et ómnia nobis profutúra concédas.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
| Let us pray.
Lord God,
by whom our lives are governed with unfailing wisdom and love,
take away from us all that is harmful
and give us all that will be for our good.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.
| Let us praise the Lord.
– Thanks be to God.
