Top  Next De præconio paschali Iube, domne, benedícere. Dóminus sit in corde tuo, et in lábiis tuis, ut digne et competénter annúntiem suum paschále præcónium: in nómine Patris, et Fílii, ✠ et Spíritus Sancti. Amen. Exsúltet iam Angélica turba coelórum: exsúltent divína mystéria: et pro tanti Regis victória tuba ínsonet salutáris. Gáudeat et tellus tantis irradiáta fulgóribus: et ætérni Regis splendóre illustráta, totíus orbis se séntiat amisísse calíginem. Lætétur et mater Ecclésia, tanti lúminis adornáta fulgóribus: et magnis populórum vócibus hæc aula resúltet. Quaprópter astántes vos, fratres caríssimi, ad tam miram huius sancti lúminis claritátem, una mecum, quæso, Dei omnipoténtis misericórdiam invocáte. Ut, qui me non meis méritis intra Levitárum númerum dignatus est aggregáre: lúminis sui claritátem infúndens, Cérei huius laudem implére perfíciat. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium suum: qui cum eo vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus: Per omnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum Spíritu tuo. V. Sursum corda. R. Habémus ad Dóminum. V. Grátias agámus Dómino Deo nostro. R. Dignum et iustum est. Vere dignum et iustum est, invísibilem Deum Patrem omnipoténtem Filiúmque eius unigénitum, Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, toto cordis ac mentis afféctu et vocis ministério personáre. Qui pro nobis ætérno Patri Adæ débitum solvit: et véteris piáculi cautiónem pio cruóre detérsit. Hæc sunt enim festa paschália, in quibus verus ille Agnus occíditur, cuius sánguine postes fidelium consecrántur. Hæc nox est, in qua primum patres nostros, fílios Israël edúctos de Ægýpto, Mare Rubrum sicco vestígio transíre fecísti. Hæc ígitur nox est, quæ peccatórum ténebras colúmnæ illuminatióne purgávit. Hæc nox est, quæ hódie per univérsum mundum in Christo credéntes, a vítiis sǽculi et calígine peccatórum segregátos, reddit grátiæ, sóciat sanctitáti. Hæc nox est, in qua, destrúctis vínculis mortis, Christus ab ínferis victor ascéndit. Nihil enim nobis nasci prófuit, nisi rédimi profuísset. O mira circa nos tuæ pietátis dignátio! O inæstimábilis diléctio caritátis: ut servum redimeres, Fílium tradidísti! O certe necessárium Adæ peccátum, quod Christi morte delétum est! O felix culpa, quæ talem ac tantum méruit habére Redemptórem! O vere beáta nox, quæ sola méruit scire tempus et horam, in qua Christus ab ínferis resurréxit! Hæc nox est, de qua scriptum est: Et nox sicut dies illuminábitur: Et nox illuminátio mea in deliciis meis. Huius ígitur sanctificátio noctis fugat scélera, culpas lavat: et reddit innocéntiam lapsis et mæstis lætítiam. Fugat ódia, concórdiam parat et curvat impéria. In huius ígitur noctis grátia, súscipe, sancte Pater, incénsi huius sacrifícium vespertínum: quod tibi in hac Cérei oblatióne solémni, per ministrórum manus de opéribus apum, sacrosáncta reddit Ecclésia. Sed iam colúmnæ huius præcónia nóvimus, quam in honórem Dei rútilans ignis accéndit. Qui licet sit divísus in partes, mutuáti tamen lúminis detriménta non novit. Alitur enim liquántibus ceris, quas in substántiam pretiósæ huius lámpadis apis mater edúxit. O vere beáta nox, quæ exspoliávit Ægýptios, ditávit Hebrǽos! Nox, in qua terrénis cæléstia, humánis divína iungúntur. Orámus ergo te, Dómine: ut Céreus iste in honórem tui nóminis consecrátus, ad noctis huius calíginem destruéndam, indefíciens persevéret. Et in odórem suavitátis accéptus, supérnis lumináribus misceátur. Flammas eius lúcifer matutínus invéniat. Ille, inquam, lúcifer, qui nescit occásum. Ille, qui regréssus ab ínferis, humáno géneri serénus illúxit. Precámur ergo te, Dómine: ut nos fámulos tuos, omnémque clerum, et devotíssimum pópulum: una cum beatíssimo Papa nostro N., et Antístite nostro N., quiéte témporum concéssa, in his paschálibus gáudiis, assídua protectióne régere, gubernáre et conserváre digneris. Réspice étiam ad eos, qui nos in potestáte regunt, et, ineffábili pietátis et misericórdiæ tuæ múnere, dírige cogitatiónes eórum ad iustítiam et pacem, ut de terréna operositáte ad cæléstem pátriam pervéniant cum omni populo tuo. Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus: per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen.	4 The Singing of the Paschal Proclamation Sir, give me Thy blessing. C. May the Lord be on thy heart and on thy lips, that thou mayest worthily and fittingly proclaim His Paschal praise. R. Amen. Let the angelic choirs of Heaven now rejoice; let the divine Mysteries rejoice; and let the trumpet of salvation sound forth the victory of so great a King. Let the earth also rejoice, made radiant by such splendor; and, enlightened with the brightness of the eternal King, let it know that the darkness of the whole world is scattered. Let our mother the Church also rejoice, adorned with the brightness of so great a light; and let this temple resound with the loud acclamations of the people. Wherefore I beseech you, most beloved brethren, who are here present in the wondrous brightness of this holy light, to invoke wtih me the mercy of almighty God. That He who has vouchsafed to admit me among the Levites, without any merits of mine, would pour forth the brightness of His light upon me, and enable me to perfect the praise of this wax candle. Through our Lord Jesus Christ His Son, Who with Him and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth one God for ever and ever. R. Amen. V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. Lift up thy hearts. R. We have them lifted up to the Lord. V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.. R. It is meet and just. It is truly meet and right to proclaim with all our heart and all the affection of our mind, and with the ministry of our voices, the invisible God, the Father almighty, and His only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who repaid for us to His eternal Father the debt of Adam, and by the merciful shedding of His Blood, cancelled the debt incurred by original sin. For this is the Paschal Festival; in which that true Lamb is slain, with Whose Blood the doorposts of the faithful are consecrated. This is the night in which Thou didst formerly cause our forefathers, the children of Israel, when brought out of Egypt, to pass through the Red Sea with dry foot. This, therefore, is the night which dissipated the darkness of sinners by the light of the pillar. This is the night which at this time throughout the world restores to grace and unites in sanctity those that believe in Christ, and are separated from the vices of the world and the darkness of sinners. This is the night in which, destroying the chains of death, Christ arose victorious from the grave. For it would have profited us nothing to have been born, unless redemption had also been bestowed upon us. O wondrous condescension of Thy mercy towards us! O inestimable affection of love: that Thou mightest redeem a slave, Thou didst deliver up Thy Son! O truly needful sin of Adam, which was blotted out by the death of Christ! O happy fault, that merited to possess such and so great a Redeemer! O truly blessed night, which alone deserved to know the time and hour when Christ rose again from hell! This is the night of which it is written: And the night shall be as clear as the day; and the night is my light in my delights. Therefore the hallowing of this night puts to flight all wickedness, cleanses sins, and restores innocence to the fallen, and gladness to the sorrowful. It drives forth hatreds, it prepares concord, and brings down haughtiness. Wherefore, in this sacred night, receive, O holy Father, the evening sacrifice of this incense, which holy Church renders to Thee by the hands of Thy ministers in the solemn offering of this wax candle, made out the work of bees. Now also we know the praises of this pillar, which the shining fire enkindles to the honor of God. Which fire, although divided into parts, suffers no loss from its light being borrowed. For it is nourished by the melting wax, which the mother bee produced for the substance of this precious light. O truly blessed night, which plundered the Egyptians and enriched the Hebrews! A night in which heavenly things are united to those of earth, and things divine to those which are of man. We beseech Thee, therefore, O Lord, that this wax candle hallowed in honor of Thy Name, may continue to burn to dissipate the darkness of this night. And being accepted as a sweet savor, may be united with the heavenly lights. Let the morning star find its flame alight. That star, I mean, which knows no setting. He Who returning from hell, serenely shone forth upon mankind. We beseech Thee therefore, O Lord, that Thou wouldst grant peaceful times during this Paschal Festival, and vouchsafe to rule, govern, and keep with Thy constant protection us Thy servants, and all the clergy, and the devout people, together with our most holy Father, Pope N., and our Bishop N.. Have regard, also, for those who reign over us, and, grant them Thine ineffable kindness and mercy, direct their thoughts in justice and peace, that from their earthy toil, they may come to their heavenly reward with all Thy people. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God: World without end. R. Amen.

Dixítque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux. Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona: et divísit lucem a ténebris. Appellavítque lucem Diem, et ténebras Noctem: factúmque est véspere et mane, dies unus. Dixit quoque Deus: Fiat firmaméntum in médio aquárum: et dívidat aquas ab aquis. Et fecit Deus firmaméntum, divisítque aquas quæ erant sub firmaménto, ab his quæ erant super firmaméntum. Et factum est ita. Vocávit Deus firmaméntum Cælum: et factum est véspere et mane, dies secúndus. Dixit vero Deus: Congregéntur aquæ, quæ sub cælo sunt, in locum unum: et appáreat árida. Et factum est ita. Et vocávit Deus aridam, Terram, congregationísque aquárum appellávit Mária. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum. Et ait: Gérminet terra herbam viréntem, et faciéntem semen, et lignum pomíferum fáciens fructum iuxta genus suum, cuius semen in semetípso sit super terram. Et factum est ita. Et prótulit terra herbam viréntem, et faciéntem semen iuxta genus suum, lignúmque fáciens fructum, et habens unumquódque seméntem secúndum spéciem suam. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum. Et factum est véspere et mane, dies tértius. Dixit áutem Deus: Fiant luminária in firmaménto cæli, et dívidant diem ac noctem, et sint in signa et témpora, et dies et annos: ut lúminent terram. Et factum est ita. Fecítque Deus duo luminária magna: luminária maius, ut præésset diéi, et lumináre minus, ut præésset nocti: et stellas. Et pósuit eas in firmaménto cæli, ut lucérent super terram, et præéssent diéi ac nocti, et divíderent lucem ac ténebras. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum. Et factum est véspere et mane, dies quartus. Dixit étiam Deus: Prodúcant aquæ réptile ánimæ vivéntis, et volátile super terram sub firmaménto cæli. Creavítque Deus cete grándia, et omnem ánimam vivéntem atque motábilem, quam prodúxerant aquæ in spécies suas, et omne volátile secúndum genus suum. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum. Benedixítque eis, dicens: Créscite, et multiplicámini, et repléte aquas maris: avésque multiplicéntur super terram. Et factum est véspere et mane, dies quintus. Dixit quoque Deus: Prodúcat terra ánimam vivéntem in génere suo: iuménta, et reptília, et béstias terræ secúndum spécies suas. Factúmque est ita. Et fecit Deus quod esset bonum, et ait: Faciámus hóminem ad imáginem et similitúdinem nostram: et præsit píscibus maris, et volatílibus cæli, et béstiis, universáeque terræ, omníque réptili quod movétur in terra. Et creávit Deus hóminem ad imáginem suam: ad imáginem Dei creávit illum, másculum et féminam creávit eos. Benedixítque illis Deus, et ait: Créscite et multiplicámini, et repléte terram, et subiícite eam, et dominámini píscibus maris, et volatílibus cæli, et univérsis animántibus, quæ movéntur super terram. Dixítque Deus: Ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam afferéntem semen super terram, et univérsa ligna quæ habent in semetípsis seméntum géneris sui, ut sint vobis in escam: et cunctis animántibus terræ, omníque vólucri cæli, et univérsis, quæ movéntur in terra, et in quibus est ánima vivens, ut hábeant ad vescéndum. Et factum est ita. Vidítque Deus cuncta quæ fécerat: et erant valde bona. Et factum est véspere et mane, dies sextus. Igitur perfécti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornátus eórum. Complevítque Deus die séptimo opus suum quod fécerat: et requiévit die séptimo ab univérso ópere quod patrárat. Orémus. V. Flectámus génua. R. Leváte. Deus, qui mirabíliter creásti hóminem, et mirabílius redemísti: da nobis, quǽsumus, contra oblectaménta peccáti, mentis ratióne persístere; ut mereámur ad ætérna gáudia perveníre.

And God said: Be light made. And light was made. And God saw the light that it was good: and He divided the light from the darkness. And He called the light Day, and the darkness Night: and there was evening and morning, one day. And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament from those that were above the firmament. And it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven: and the evening and morning were the second day. God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear. And it was so done. And God called the dry land Earth: and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good. And He said: Let the earth bring forth his green herb, after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done. And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as tieldeth seed according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And the evening and morning were the third day. And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.: to shine in the firmament of heaven. and to give light to the earth. And it was so done. And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars. And He set them in the firmament of heaven, to shine upon the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to divide the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And the evening and morning were the fourth day. God also said: Let het waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven. And God created the great whales, and every living thing and moving creature which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And He blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so done. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good. And He said: Let us make man to His own image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth. And God created man to His own image: to the image of God He created him, male and female He created them. And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth. And God said: Behold, I have given you every herb-bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind to be your meat: and to all the beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done. And God saw all the things that He had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day. So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made: and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Let us pray. V. Let us kneel. R. Arise. O God, who hast wonderfully created man, and more wonderfully restored him: grant us, we beseech Thee, to stand firm with strong minds against the allurements of sin, that we may deserve to arrive at everlasting joys. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
Top  Next In diébus illis: Factum est in vigília matutína, et ecce respíciens Dóminus super castra Ægyptiórum per colúmnam ignis et nubis, interfécit exércitum eórum: et subvértit rotas cúrruum, ferebantúrque in profúndum. Dixérunt ergo Ægýptii: Fugiámus Israëlem: Dóminus enim pugnat pro eis contra nos. Et ait Dóminus ad Móysen: Exténde manum tuam super mare, ut revertántur aquæ ad Ægýptios super currus et équites eórum. Cumque extendísset Móyses manum contra mare, revérsum est primo dilúculo ad priórem locum: fugientibúsque Ægýptiis occurrérunt aquæ, et invólvit eos Dóminus in médiis flúctibus. Reversáeque sunt aquæ, et operuérunt currus et équites cuncti exércitus Pharaónis, qui sequéntes ingréssi fúerant mare: nec unus quidem supérfuit ex eis. Fílii áutem Israël perrexérunt per médium sicci maris, et aquæ eis erant quasi pro muro a dextris et a sinístris: liberavítque Dóminus in die illa Israël de manu Ægyptiórum. Et vidérunt Ægýptios mórtuos super littus maris, et manum magnam. quam exercúerat Dóminus contra eos: timuítque pópulus Dóminum, et credidérunt Dómino, et Móysi servo eius. Tunc cécinit Móyses, et fílii Israël carmen hoc Dómino, et dixérunt: Cantémus Dómino: glorióse enim honorificátus est: equum et ascensórum proiécit in mare: adiútor, et protéctor factus est mihi in salútem. V. Hic Deus meus, et honorificábo eum: Deus patris mei, et exaltábo eum. V. Dóminus cónterens bella: Dóminus nomen est illi. Orémus. V. Flectámus génua. R. Leváte. Deus, cuius antíqua mirácula étiam nostris sǽculis coruscáre sentímus: dum quod uni pópulo, a persecutióne Ægyptíaca liberándo, déxteræ tuæ poténtia contulísti, id in salútem géntium per aquam regeneratiónis operáris: præsta; ut in Abrahæ fílios, et in Israelíticam dignitátem, totíus mundi tránseat plenitúdo.

R. Amen.	6 In those days, it came to pass in the morning watch, and behold the Lord looking upon the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire, and of the cloud, slew their host: and overthrew the wheels of the chariots, and they were carried into the deep. And the Egyptians said: Let us flee from Israel: for the Lord fighteth for them against us. And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and horsemen. And when Moses had stretched forth his hand towards the sea, it returned at the first break of day to the former place: and as the Egyptians were fleeing away the waters came upon them, and the Lord shut them up in the middle of the waves. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the army of Pharao, who had come into the sea after them: neither did there so much as one of them remain. But the children of Israel marched through the midst of the sea upon dry land, and the waters were to them as a wall on the right hand and the left: and the Lord delivered Israel on that day out of the hand of the Egyptians. And they saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore, and the mighty hand of the Lord had used against them: and the people feared the Lord, and they believed the Lord, and Moses His servant. Then Moses and the children of Israel sung this canticle to the Lord, and said: Let us sing to the Lord, for He is gloriously honored: the horse and the rider He hath thrown into the sea: He has become my Helper and Protector unto salvation. V. He is my God, and I will honor Him: the God of my father, and I will extol Him. V. He is the Lord that destroys wars: the Lord is His Name. Let us pray. V. Let us kneel. R. Arise. O God, Whose ancient miracles we see shining also in our days, whilst by the water of regeneration Thou dost operate for the salvation of the Gentiles, that which by the power of Thy right hand Thou didst confer upon one people, by delivering them from the Egyptian persecution: grant that all the nations of the world may become the children of Abraham, and partake of the dignity of the people of Israel. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Top  Next In diébus illis: Scripsit ergo Móyses cánticum et dócuit fílios Israël. Præcepítque Dóminus Iósue fílio Nun et ait: Confortáre, et esto robústus: tu enim introdúces fílios Israël in terram, quam pollícitus sum, et ego ero tecum. Postquam ergo scripsit Moses verba legis huius in volúmine, atque conplévit: præcépit Levítis, qui portábant arcam fœ́deris Dómini dicens: Tóllite librum istum, et pónite eum in látere arcæ fœ́deris Dómini Dei vestri: ut sit ibi contra te in testimónium. Ego enim scio contentiónem tuam, et cervícem tuam duríssimam. Adhuc vivénte me, et ingrediénte vobíscum, semper contentióse egístis contra Dóminum: quanto magis cum mórtuus fúero? Congregáte ad me omnes maióres natu per tribus vestras, atque doctóres, et loquar audiéntibus eis sermónes istos, et invocábo contra eos cælum et terram. Novi enim quod post mortem meam iníque agétis, et declinábitis cito de via, quam præcépi vobis: et occúrrent vobis mala in extrémo témpore, quando fecéritis malum in conspéctu Dómini, ut irritétis eum per ópera mánuum vestrárum. Locútus est ergo Móyses, audiénte univérso cœtu Israël, verba cárminis huius, et ad finem usque conplévit: Atténde, cælum, et loquar: et áudiat terra verba ex ore meo. V. Exspectétur sicut plúvia elóquium meum: et descéndant sicut ros verba mea, sicut imber super grámina. V. Et sicut nix super fænum: quia nomen Dómini invocábo. V. Date magnitúdinem Deo nostro: Deus, vera ópera eius, et omnes viæ eius iudícia. V. Deus fidélis, in quo non est iníquitas: iustus et sanctus Dóminus. Orémus. V. Flectámus génua. R. Leváte. Deus, celsitúdo humílium et fortitúdo rectórum, qui per sanctum Móysen púerum tuum, ita erudíre pópulum tuum sacri cárminis tui decantatióne voluísti, ut illa legis iterátio fíeret étiam nostra diréctio: excíta in omnem iustificatárum géntium plenitúdinem poténtiam tuam, et da lætítiam, mitigándo terrórem; ut, ómnium peccátis tua remissióne delétis, quod denuntiátum est in ultiónem, tránseat in salútem. Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen.	8 In those days: Moses therefore wrote the canticle, and taught it to the children of Israel. And the Lord commanded Josue the son of Nun, and said: Take courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with thee. Therefore after Moses had wrote the words of this law in a volume, and finished it: he commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying: Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee. For I know thy obstinacy, and thy most stiff neck. While I am yet living, and going in with you, you have always been rebellious against the Lord: how much more when I shall be dead? Gather unto me all the ancients of your tribes, and your doctors, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and will call heaven and earth to witness against them. For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands. Moses therefore spoke, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and finished it even to the end: Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth. V. Let my doctrine gather as the rain, let my speech distill as the dew, as a shower upon the herb. V. And as drops upon the grass: because I will invoke the name of the Lord. V. Give ye magnificence to our God: The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments. V. God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right. Let us pray. V. Let us kneel. R. Arise. O God, the exaltation of the humble, and the strength of the righteous, Who, by Thy holy servant Moses, wast pleased so to instruct Thy people by the singing of Thy sacred canticle, that the renewal of the law should be also our guidance: show forth Thy power to all the multitude of Gentiles justified by Thee, and by mitigating Thy terror grant them joy: that, all sins being blotted out by Thy remission, the threatened vengeance may give way to salvation. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Deus, cuius Spiritus super aquas inter ipsa munda primordia ferebatur: ut iam tunc virtutem sanctificationis, aquarum natura conciperet. Deus, qui nocentis mundi crimina per aquas abluens, regenerationis speciem in ipsa diluvii effusione signasti: ut, unius eiusdemque elementi mysterio, et finis esset vitiis, et origo virtutibus. Respice, Domine, in faciem Ecclesiæ tuæ, et multiplica in ea regenerationes tuas, qui gratiæ tuæ affluentis impetu lætificas civitatem tuam: fontemque baptismatis aperis toto orbe terrarum gentibus innovandis: ut, tuæ maiestatis imperio, sumat Unigeniti tui gratiam de Spiritu Sancto. Qui hanc aquam, regenerándis homínibus præparátam, arcána sui núminis admixtióne fecúndet: ut, sanctificatióne concépta, ab immaculáto divíni fontis útero, in novam renáta creatúram, progénies cæléstis emérgat: et quos aut sexus in córpore, aut ætas discérnit in témpore, omnes in unam páriat grátia mater infántiam.

Qui te una cum sánguine de látere suo prodúxit: et discípulis suis iussit, ut credéntes baptizaréntur in te, dicens: Ite, docéte omnes gentes, baptizántes eos in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Hæc nobis præcépta servántibus tu, Deus omnípotens, clemens adésto: tu benígnus aspíra.

R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray Almighty and everlasting God, be present at these Mysteries of Thy great kindness, be present at these Sacraments: and send forth Thy Spirit of adoption to regenerate the new people, whom the font of baptism brings forth; that what is to be done by our humble ministry may be accomplished by the effect of Thy power. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God: World without end. R. Amen. V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. Lift up thy hearts. R. We have them lifted up to the Lord. V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.. R. It is meet and just. It is meet and just, right and availing unto salvation, to give Thee thanks always and in all places, O holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God, Who, by Thine ineffable power dost wonderfully produce the effect of Thy Sacraments: and though we are unworthy to perform such great mysteries: yet, as Thou dost not abandon the gifts of Thy grace, so Thou inclinest the ears of Thy goodness, even to our prayers. O God, Whose Spirit in the very beginning of the world moved over the waters, that even then the nature of water might receive the virtue of sanctification. O God, Who by water didst wash away the crimes of the guilty world, and by the pouring out of the deluge didst give a figure of regeneration, that one and the same element might in a mystery be the end of vice and the beginning of virtue. Look, O Lord, on the face of Thy Church, and multiply in her Thy regenerations, who by the streams of Thine abundant grace fillest Thy city with joy, and openest the font of Baptism all over the world for the renewal of the Gentiles: that by the command of Thy Majesty she may receive the grace of Thine only Son from the Holy Ghost. May He by a secret mixture of His divine virtue render this water fruitful for the regeneration of men, to the end that a heavenly offspring, conceived by sanctification, may emerge from the immaculate womb of this divine font, reborn a new creature: and may all, however distinguished either by sex in body, or by age in time, be brought forth to the same infancy by grace, their mother. Therefore may all unclean spirits, by Thy command, O Lord, depart far from hence: may the whole malice of diabolical deceit be entirely banished: may no power of the enemy prevail here: let him not fly about to lay his snares; may he not creep in by stealth: may he not corrupt with his poison. May this holy and innocent creature be free from all the assaults of the enemy, and purified by the destruction of all his wickedness. May it be a living fountain, a regenerating water, a purifying stream: that all those that are to be washed in this saving bath may obtain, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, the grace of a perfect cleansing. Therefore, I bless thee, O creature of water, by the living ✠ God, by the true ✠ God, by the holy ✠ God: by that God Who, in the beginning, separated thee by His Word from the dry land, Whose Spirit moved over thee. Who made thee flow from the fountain of paradise and commanded thee to water the whole earth with thy four rivers. Who, changing thy bitterness in the desert into sweetness made thee fit to drink, and produced thee out of a rock to quench the thirsty people. I bless ✠ thee also by our Lord Jesus Christ, His only Son: Who in Cana of Galilee changed thee into wine by a wonderful miracle of His power. Who walked upon thee with dry foot, and was baptized in thee by John in the Jordan. Who made thee flow out of His side together with His Blood, and commanded His disciples that such as believed should be baptised in thee, saying: Go, teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Do thou, almighty God, mercifully assist us who observe this commandment: do Thou graciously inspire us. Do Thou with Thy mouth bless these clear waters: that besides their natural virtue of cleansing the body, they may also prove efficacious for the purifying of the soul. May the virtue of the Holy Ghost descend into all the water of this font. May the virtue of the Holy Ghost descend into all the water of this font. Withdrawing it yet again, he again lowers it to the bottom of the vessel, repeating in yet a higher tone May the virtue of the Holy Ghost descend into all the water of this font. And make the whole substance of this water fruitful for regeneration. And make the whole substance of this water fruitful for regeneration. And make the whole substance of this water fruitful for regeneration. Here may the stains of all sins be washed out; here may human nature, created in Thine image, and reformed to the honour of its Author, be cleansed from all the filth of the old man: that all who receive the Sacrament of regeneration, may be born again new children of true innocence. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son: Who shall come to judge the living and the dead, and the world by fire. R. Amen.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

O. Amen.	12 The Renewal of Baptismal Promises On this most sacred night, dearly beloved brethren, Holy Mother Church, recalling the death and burial of Our Lord Jesus Christ, returneth His love by keeping vigil; and aboundeth with joy at celebrating His glorious Resurrection. But because, as the Apostle teaches, we are baptised into His death and buried together with Christ: and as Christ rose again from the dead, so we too must walk in newness of life; knowing that our old man hath been crucified together with Christ so that we shall no longer be in servitude to sin. Let us therefore look upon ourselves therefore as dead indeed to sin but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, the Lenten observance now completed, let us renew the promises of baptism by which formerly we renounced Satan and his works, and the world likewise, the enemy of God; and by which we promised to serve God faithfully in the Holy Catholic Church. Therefore: S. Do you renounce Satan? A. We do renounce him. S. And all his works? A. We do renounce them. S. And all his pomps? A. We do renounce them. S. Do you believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth? A. We do believe. S. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was born into this world and who suffered for us? A. We do believe. S. Do you also believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the Communionion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting? A. We do believe. S. And now let us pray together as one, just as our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to pray: A. Our 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. S. And may God almighty, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath regenerated us by water and the Holy Ghost, and who hath given us remission of sins, may He by His grace keep us in the same Christ Jesus our Lord to life everlasting. A. Amen.

 Viernes santo de un escritor

 

Pasa el tiempo envuelto

En las voluptuosas aros del humo de mi pipa

Entre los libros en su alguarín

Suspira un anciano setentón

Al cual publicaron un libro

Pero no tiene  venta

Esfuerzo baldío nadie te hará caso

Rayo que no cesa juventud que no pasa

Espada y la palabra en los estantes

Duerme un ángel en el anaquel

De cartapacios olvidados

Voy al encuentro de mi pasado con una sonrisa

Cavilla que marca una pagina una fecha

El estampido de un beso

Viernes santo vísperas de la pascua

Epistaxis del alma

Punto culminante del año

Aroma de las rosas del destino

Vela que ilumina el canto de la Passio

Narración sublime de redención y esperanza

Cimerios y reliquias olvidadas, calepinos anafóricos de páginas tostadas

Sonriendo en la repisa

Ábreme, abracadabra

En Honchurch no hubiste repocia

Fue un día triste aquella boda del alma

Y ahora te duelen los recuerdos

El caballo repropio se fue a la empinada

El macho tira coces

Me duelen las muelas y el odontólogo

Me hurga las encías con el repulsorio

Salta un chorro de pus

Mis dientes están careados desde niño

Ahí yacen las aguas subterráneas el pozo de mis complejos

Me voy al requejar todo cascajos tierra en cuesta del abuelo

Como uvas agraces

En el lagar buen vino

Y en medio del delirio se me aparece san Carlos Borromeo

Que era un santo muy feo

El repulsorio hizo su obra de hurgón anestésico

Estoy curado

De la odontalgia

Pero no del vino

ni de la nostalgia

 TRES JUEVES HAY EN EL AÑO

Antonio Parra

Tres jueves hay en el año que relucen más que el sol: Jueves Santo, Corpus Christi y el Día de la Ascensión. Traen auras los recuerdos de olor a romero y a tomillo calles tapizadas con plantas aromáticas y alborozado tañer de campanas cantos eucarísticos al amor de los amores gentes apiñadas en las aceras para ver pasar al Señor. La carroza ascendía calle Real arriba portando el blanco viril testimonio de amor y de perdón estaré con vosotros hasta el fin de los tiempos hecho pan y convertido en vino. Cuerpo de Cristo. No tengáis miedo. Ñie baiotsa. La frase la escucho por Internet por Radio Blago una estación ortodoxa que emite desde un lejano monasterio ruso perdido más allá de los Urales. ¡Caminos misteriosos! ¡Oh milagro del amor!

 Porque en España este jueves del año que relucía más que el sol es un día de diario salvo en Toledo nuestra nueva Jerusalén. La Jerusalén española que guarda las esencias del rito gótico. Que siempre será católica o al menos en eso confiamos. La custodia de Arfe sube gloriosa por las vargas empinadas de la ciudad Imperial, baja las cuestas, en Zocodover los cadetes de infantería le rendirán honores y se interna por correderas misteriosas y empavesadas toldos del amor y del perdón y un alfomar de rosas, por la Puerta del Perdón. Hosanna al hijo de David.

 El corpus a los que los franceses llamaban La Fête Dieu (la fiesta de dios) es un perpetuo domingo de ramos que conmemora la entrada en Jerusalén. La Cruz triunfa en la historia. Extended, pueblos, la alcatifa; que pise la tierra el ángel de bendición. Desenrollad vuestros mantos, tended humildes vuestras zofras para que sirvan de blando tapiz al rey de la gloria. ¿Quis est iste rex Gloriae? Dominus potens Israel, contesta el salmista con inspiración mesiánica.

 Humillad vuestras cabezas. Todo está bien. Canta la golondrina en la enramada y por las veredas nace la flor. No tengáis miedo. No os suma la zozobra. ¿Quién eres? Soy yo. Quo vadis, Domine? ¿Adónde vas, Señor? Voy con Vos. No conmigo, no, pero te daré tal don. Eucaristía. Eulogía. Palabras de perdón.

 Pasada la Canaleja donde Segovia es todo un balcón que abre a sus puertas a la luz y las auras guadarrameñas, estaban los soldados del regimiento cubriendo carrera. Firmes. Un teniente abanderado presentaba honores.  Este teniente artillero era mi padre. Los acordes del himno nacional sonaban en la Plaza Mayor Escoltaban el cortejo el obispo con capa magna. Un paje portaba los vuelos y aquel paje con sotana colorada de monago era yo.

 ¡Oh aquel obispo rozagante! Un santo, un verdadero santo (Daniel se llamaba, Daniel Llorente de Federico) que vivía muy pobremente y era austero y la cara demacrada por los largos ayunos, delgado y tieso como un huso, le recuerdo, no escatimaba el boato y el esplendor de la liturgia en las fiestas señaladas. Su entrada en la catedral se efectuaba al son de clarines y timbales. Un añafilero atacaba la caja y el maestro de ceremonias, un cura gordo que se fumaba sus buenos puros en las fiestas de guardar e invitaba a los amigos beneficiados a tostón en el Bernardino pues venía de casa rica de Hontanares usaba sotanas caras, y además le había tocado la lotería, daba el aviso:

-Celso, toca, que ya está ahí el obispo.

Había un trajín de sotanas en movimiento, prisas y el volar de los faldeos de capisayos en el enlosado de las naves del transepto, allí toda la magia y el arte del gótico tardío de Gil de Hontañón y allá en lo alto de la nave del triforio sonreía maternal el cuadro de la Virgen Blanca. Al tomar posesión de su cátedra monseñor Llorente (seguía el ceremonial de Toledo, según las rubricas del libro gótico, el cantoral gordo que abría sus paginas de pergamino apoyadas sobre el facistol del coro) y cada una de las rubricas las seguía a rajatabla, la primera mirada era para aquella imagen.

 El maestro de ceremonias le iba señalando con un puntero de plata la oración del misal que tenía que leer o la antífona que cantar. Su primera mirada y su primera oración era para aquella Virgen sobre la predela catedralicia, que ocupaba casi todo el hastial sobre los ánditos del transepto. Yo también llevo desde entonces zurcida a las entretelas de mi corazón el dulce mirar de la Madre de Dios.  Sonaban triunfales  bajo la totalidad de las cúpulas las melodías del órgano. Yo era aquel monaguillo que en la fiesta del corpus y otras solemnidades portaba la capa magna detrás del cortejo episcopal de empuesta al diacono con la cruz alzada y los acólitos y turiferarios. Me halagaba que me vieran y si fijasen en mí las vecinas. Mira el curilla qué majo.

-El cante misa ¿para cuando?

-Pronto, doña Macrina.

Esta señora era amiga íntima de doña Patro. Eran dos solteronas que salían juntas del bracero. No se perdían ninguna procesión, triduo ni novenario. Yo les sonreía con la capa magna del obispo recogida en mi regazo y que abultaba  más que un servidor. La Macrina y la Patro siempre juntitas y del bracero simpáticas beatorras, pero muy tacañas pues no se estiraban jamás cuando yo iba a llevarles la “caja” –un san Antonio o un corazón de Jesús o la Dolorosa- que según piadosa costumbre se iba repartiendo por las barriadas de mi parroquia de Santa Eulalia.

 Todo lo más una perra chica o un bollo cuando había casas donde me regalaban un duro o una entrada para ver una película en el cine Cervantes. Yo no comprendía a aquellas solteronas siempre tan juntitas, tan simpáticas, tan redichas,  siempre de hábito y ceñidas con algún cordón, a misa de doce salían con un devocionario. ¿Serían monjas? No; no eran monjas. ¿Entonces como es que siempre están juntas y en permanente comunidad? Son dos bolleras, me informó una de mis primas que se enteraba de todos los bulos que corrían por la ciudad.

No sabía lo que significaba bolleras. Lo miré en el diccionario. Tampoco venía. Tortilleras, hombre. Ah. Acabáramos. Pero doña Patro y doña Macrina siempre tan elegantes tan juntitas resplandecientes como dos soles, no se metían con nadie, no dieron ningún escándalo, todo se quedaba en casa, que parecían profesarse tierno amor. Habían nacido la una para lo otra. Y hasta se murieron con más de noventa años casi el mismo día.

 Don Daniel pasaba con gesto fatigoso y una sonrisa bendiciendo a la congregación. Le quedaban dos meses de vida. Había sido un gran catequista y pedagogo. Toda la cuaresma ayunaba y según cuentan debajo de su sotana de cachemir, de las más elegantes que confeccionaba Zurita un sastre de Valladolid dice que los v viernes ceñía sus carnes un cilicio y cuando murió encontraron debajo de la cama al lado del orinal pues murió de la próstata unas disciplinas emplomadas con bolas de acero (el gato).

Este príncipe de la Iglesia murió en la pobreza casi. Todo lo había dado a los pobres. Era un santo y un verdadero padre san Daniel su vida y su personalidad digna de ser talladas por la pluma de un Gabriel Miró. Pero no escatimaba ningún lujo ni esplendor en el servicio de la Iglesia. Por eso aquellos jueves santos en mi Segovia adorada brillaban más que el sol.

Nunca he ido por la vida en plan de recoge-pelotas y bien sabe Dios que nunca le tuve envidia a nadie pero me fijo mucho. Y cuando iba en la procesión detrás del señor obispo examinaba todos sus gestos, escuchaba todas sus frases. Y aquel Corpus de hace medio siglo justo al posar sus cáligas (zapatos de obispo) sobre el enlosado de la catedral donde yacían enterrados todos sus predecesores de aquella diócesis le dijo a un fámulo:

-Pronto estaré yo aquí con ellos.

El familiar, don Fernando Resines,  que así se llamaba el fámulo: un canónigo vigoro y muy sanguíneo, que despertaba la admiración de las beatas por su brioso buen talle y hasta puede que alguna estuviera enamorada de él secretamente, se revolvió como una ardilla:

-Señor obispo, ¿Quién piensa en eso?  Está aun para dar mucha guerra Su Ilustrísima.

Don Daniel que era un santo tuvo aquel jueves que relucía más que el sol una premonición un aviso de su glorioso transito. Moriría en olor de santidad  tres meses más tarde aquel mismo verano del 57.  Fue la muerte del Justo. Se parecía un poco al papa reinante en aquel tiempo Pío XII con sus lentes de concha redondos, su serena altivez de aristócrata de la Iglesia, su calva tallada a cincel. Se sentía muy enfermo pero a pesar de la fatiga ofició con minuciosidad el largo pontifical de casi dos horas. Ornamentos blancos casullas recamadas de oro del siglo XV. La misa del corpus la escribió la escribió nada menos que santo tomas de Aquino en 1264. Sonaron los himnos del Pange Lengua Gloriosa y del Tantum Ergo y la secuencia del Lauda Sión.  No fue una misa de difuntos sino de resurrección y eso que nuestro prelado sabía que le había salido la hoja roja. Tenía el don de profecía y el de la introspección. El bueno cuando llega la hora se alegra. Sin embargo el malo se entristece. Mors impii- del rijoso, del envidioso del que odia, del que se presenta con las manos vacías a la mesa de la eternidad- pessima. Lo dice el Eclesiastés. Y en verdad la muerte del piadoso obispo fue como una eucaristía. Su recuerdo me alienta a preservar la virtud, a perseverar en el bien aun a sabiendas de que existe el mal. El odio y las navajas por detrás y la sombra del mal que acecha. Nunca las tinieblas podrán soportar la claridad. Y esas tinieblas son mis enemigas. Nada personal. Luchamos no contra la carne y la sangre sino contra esos malos espíritus diaños del aire y de las ondas. Corpus Christi custodiat animam meam in vital aeternam. Es la fiesta. La apoteosis del amor. Un amor que existe por más que no lo parezca. No tengáis miedo. Hoy, el Corpus. Engalánese España. Es la fiesta del amor.

GOOD FRIDAY SUZANNE AND HELEN PARCE MIHI forgive me

 HOLY Friday, April 2, 2021

 

The roses of Redemption are blooming

Rain last night

Think of you Lord

Lavacrum of my sins

Sweat of blood

In Getsemany

Forgive the pains and memories

Of those I hurt

Bearing the cross

at EASTER IN HORNCHURCH

I gleam

I am a traitor of love

Sweet Jesus

nailed at  the block

have pity on me

el zar un buen padre de familia deja que su hija la infanta de una calada a su papirosi. Recordemos a este mártir del cristianismo en viernes santo

 

PANGE LINGUA GLORIOSSI CORPORIS MYSTERIUM SANGUINISQUE PRETIOSSI LETRA DE LA MARAVILLOSA SECUENCIA ESCRITO POR TOMÁS DE AQUINO

 Top  Next

Pange Lingua
Pange língua, gloriósi
Córporis mystérium,
Sanguinísque pretiósi,
Quem in mundi prétium
Fructus ventris generósi
Rex effúdit géntium.
Nobis datus, nobis natus
Ex intácta Vírgine,
Et in mundo conversátus,
Sparso verbi sémine.
Sui moras incolátus.
Miro clausit órdine.
In suprémæ nocte cœnæ
Recúmbens cum frátribus,
Observáta lege plene
Cibis in legálibus,
Cibum turbæ duodénæ
Se dat suis mánibus.
Verbum caro, panem verum
Verbo carnem éfficit;
Fitque sanguis Christi merum:
Et si sensus déficit,
Ad firmándum cor sincérum
Sola fides súfficit.
Tantum ergo Sacraméntum
Venerémur cérnui:
Et antíquum documéntum
Novo cedat ritui:
Præstet fides supplémentum
Sénsuum deféctui.
Genitóri, Genitóque
Laus et iubilátio:
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedíctio
Procedénti ab utróque
Compar sit laudátio.
Amen.
