Lesson i |
|
De Isaía Prophéta |
The Lesson is taken from
Isaiah the Prophet |
|
Chap. 6, 1-3 |
|
In anno, quo mórtuus est
rex Ozías, vidi Dóminum sedéntem super
sólium excélsum et elevátum : et ea, quæ
sub ipso erant, replébant templum. Séraphim stabant super illud : sex alæ
uni, et sex alæ
álteri, duábus velábant fáciem ejus, et duábus velábant pedes ejus, et
duábus volábant. Et clamábant alter ad álterum, et dicébant : Sanctus,
sanctus, sanctus, Dóminus exercítuum, plena est omnis terra glória ejus. |
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord
sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the
temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with
twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with
twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy,
holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R.
Ave, María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum :
* Spíritus Sanctus
supervéniet in te, et virtus Altíssimi obumbrábit tibi : quod enim ex te
nascétur Sanctum, vocábitur Fílius Dei.
V. Quómodo
fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Et
respóndens Angelus, dixit ei.
R.
Spíritus Sanctus
supervéniet in te, et virtus Altíssimi obumbrábit tibi : quod enim ex te
nascétur Sanctum, vocábitur Fílius Dei. |
R.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
thee : * The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow thee :
therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called
the Son of God.
V.
How shall this be, seeing I know not a
man? and the Angel made answer.
R.
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee : therefore also that Holy Thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God. |

Lesson ii |
Chap. 6, 4-7 |
 |
|
Et
commóta sunt superliminária cárdinum a
voce clamántis, et domus impléta est fumo. Et dixi : Væ
mihi, quia tácui, quia vir pollútus lábiis ego sum, et in médio pópuli
pollúta lábia habéntis ego hábito, et Regem Dóminum exercítuum vidi óculis
meis. Et volávit ad me unus de Séraphim, et in manu ejus cálculus,
quem fórcipe túlerat
de altári. Et tétigit os meum, et
dixit : Ecce tétigit hoc lábia tua, et
auferétur iníquitas tua, et peccátum tuum mundábitur. |
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him
that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is
me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in
the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts. Then flew one of the séraphims unto me, having a
live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the
altar: and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy
lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R.
Salvatórem exspectámus, Dóminum Jesum Christum, *
Qui reformábit corpus humilitátis nostræ
configurátum córpori claritátis suæ.
V.
Sóbrie, et juste, et pie vivámus in hoc sæculo,
exspectántes beátam spem, et advéntum glóriæ
magni Dei.
R. Qui
reformábit corpus humilitátis nostræ
configurátum córpori claritátis suæ. |
R.
We look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus
Christ : * Who shall change the body of
our humiliation, that it may be fashioned like unto the body of his glory.
V.
Wherefore we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world ; looking for that blessed
hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God.
R.
Who shall change the body of our humiliation,
that it may be fashioned like unto the body of his glory. |

Lesson iii |
Chap. 6, 8-10 |
|
Et audívi vocem Dómini
dicéntis : Quem mittam? et quis ibit nobis? Et dixi : Ecce ego, mitte
me. Et dixit : Vade, et dices pópulo huic : Audíte audiéntes, et nolíte
intellígere : et vidéte visiónem, et nolíte cognóscere. Excæca
cor pópuli hujus, et aures ejus ággrava,
et óculos ejus claude, ne forte vídeat óculis suis, et áuribus suis áudiat,
et corde suo intélligat, et convertátur, et sanem eum. |
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall
I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And
he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and
see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat,
and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and
convert, and be healed. |
|
V.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias. |
V.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God. |
|
R.
Obsecro, Dómine, mitte quem missúrus es : vide afflictiónem pópuli tui :
*
Sicut locútus es, veni,
*
Et líbera nos.
V.
Qui regis Israël, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Joseph, qui sedes super
Chérubim.
R.
Sicut locútus es, veni.
V.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui
Sancto.
R.
Et líbera nos. |
R. O my Lord,
send now I pray thee him whom thou wilt send : see the affliction of thy
people : * As
thou hast promised, come,
*
And deliver us.
V.
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou
that leadest Joseph like a flock, thou that sittest upon the Cherubim.
R.
As thou hast promised, come.
V.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.
R.
And deliver us. |
