Monastic Breviary

3:2 Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * many are they who rise up against me.

3:3 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.

3:4 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

3:5 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.

3:6 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.

3:7 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.

3:8 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

3:9 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.

Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.

For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Arva jam dudum glácie rigébant,

Corde cum mœsto míserans colónos,

Férvidis Virgo lácrimis resólvit

Frígora brumæ.

18:12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.

18:13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * and from those of others spare thy servant.

18:14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.

18:15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.

18:15 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.

23:1 The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: * the world, and all they that dwell therein.

23:2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; * and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

23:3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: * or who shall stand in his holy place?

23:4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, * who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

23:5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God his Saviour.

23:6 This is the generation of them that seek him, * of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

44:4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.

44:5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty * set out, proceed prosperously, and reign.

44:5 Because of truth and meekness and justice: * and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.

44:6 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, * into the hearts of the king’s enemies.

44:7 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.

44:8 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

44:9 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.

44:10 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.

44:11 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father’s house.

44:12 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.

45:8 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.

47:14 Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, * that ye may relate it in another generation.

47:15 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: * he shall rule us for evermore.

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.

From the Song of Songs

1 I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.

2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3 As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

4 He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.

5 Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love.

1 Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me?

2 I will take hold of thee, and bring thee Into my mother's house: there thou shalt teach me, and I will give thee a cup of spiced wine and new wine of my pomegranates.

3 His left hand under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.

4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love till she please.

5 Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved?

6 Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames.

7 Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing.

84:2 Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: * thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

84:3 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: * thou hast covered all their sins.

84:4 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: * thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

84:5 Convert us, O God our saviour: * and turn off thy anger from us.

84:6 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: * or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

84:7 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: * and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

84:8 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; * and grant us thy salvation.

84:9 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: * for he will speak peace.

84:9 And unto his saints: * and unto them that are converted to the heart.

84:10 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: * that glory may dwell in our land.

84:11 Mercy and truth have met each other: * justice and peace have kissed.

84:12 Truth is sprung out of the earth: * and justice hath looked down from heaven.

84:13 For the Lord will give goodness: * and our earth shall yield her fruit.

84:14 Justice shall walk before him: * and shall set his steps in the way.

86:1 The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains: * The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

86:3 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.

86:4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.

86:4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.

86:5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? * and the Highest himself hath founded her.

86:6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.

86:7 The dwelling in thee * is as it were of all rejoicing.

95:1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: * sing to the Lord, all the earth.

95:2 Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: * shew forth his salvation from day to day.

95:3 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: * his wonders among all people.

95:4 For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: * he is to be feared above all gods.

95:5 For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: * but the Lord made the heavens.

95:6 Praise and beauty are before him: * holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.

95:7 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour: * bring to the Lord glory unto his name.

95:8 Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts: * adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

95:9 Let all the earth be moved at his presence. * Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned.

95:10 For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: * he will judge the people with justice.

95:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof: * the fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful.

95:12 Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: * because he cometh to judge the earth.

95:13 He shall judge the world with justice, * and the people with his truth.

96:1 The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: * let many islands be glad.

96:2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: * justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

96:3 A fire shall go before him, * and shall burn his enemies round about.

96:4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: * the earth saw and trembled.

96:5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

96:6 The heavens declared his justice: * and all people saw his glory.

96:7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, * and that glory in their idols.

96:7 Adore him, all you his angels: * Sion heard, and was glad.

96:8 And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, * because of thy judgments, O Lord.

96:9 For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: * thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

96:10 You that love the Lord, hate evil: * the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

96:11 Light is risen to the just, * and joy to the right of heart.

96:12 Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: * and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.

97:1 Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: * because he hath done wonderful things.

97:1 His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, * and his arm is holy.

97:2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: * he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

97:3 He hath remembered his mercy * and his truth toward the house of Israel.

97:3 All the ends of the earth have seen * the salvation of our God.

97:4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; * make melody, rejoice and sing.

97:5 Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm: * with long trumpets, and sound of cornet.

97:6 Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king: * let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.

97:8 The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together at the presence of the Lord: * because he cometh to judge the earth.

97:9 He shall judge the world with justice, * and the people with equity.

98:1 The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: * he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

98:2 The Lord is great in Sion, * and high above all people.

98:3 Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy: * and the king’s honour loveth judgment.

98:4 Thou hast prepared directions: * thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

98:5 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, * for it is holy.

98:6 Moses and Aaron among his priests: * and Samuel among them that call upon his name.

98:6 They called upon the Lord, and he heard them: * he spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud.

98:7 They kept his testimonies, * and the commandment which he gave them.

98:8 Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: * thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

98:9 Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: * for the Lord our God is holy.

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.

Gertrúdis virgo, Islébii in comitátu Mansfeldiénsi nobilíssimis paréntibus nata, quinquénnis Christo, cui jam núbilis erat et matúra, in monastério urbis Rodárdæ, Ordinis sancti Patris Benedícti, virginitátem suam consecrávit. Ab ipso in Religiónem ingréssu angélicæ vitæ ratiónem íniit, et litteris humanióribus ac divínis appríme excúlta, ad eam doctrinæ perfectiónem pervénit, quam eruditíssimi quique mérito suspícerent. Exímia fuit ejus contemplátio, in qua multis revelatiónibus ac visis cæléstibus a Deo illustráta, eódem inspiránte, libros divínæ sapiéntiæ plenos conscrípsit.

Quamvis autem tantisnatúræ et grátiæ dótibus enitéret, divínis fruerétur collóquiis, prophetíæ dono et plúrimis esset insigníta miráculis; ádeo tamen sibi ipsa vilescébat, ut inter præcípua divínæ virtútis mirácula hoc unum singuláre créderet, quod se indigníssimam, ut dictitábat, terra peccatrícem sustinéret. Dum annum ágeret trigésimum, in abbatíssam ejus primum monastérii, in quo hábitum recéperat, deínde Elpediáni, sive ut vocant Elphiáni, elécta est. Quo in múnere per quadraginta annos ea caritáte, prudéntia, et reguláris disciplínæ integritáte se gessit, ut coenóbium domus Dei esse viderétur, in qua corporáti Angeli víverent sub Gertrúde magístra: quæ quamvis esset ómnium mater, ómnium tamen se minístram exhibébat.

Cæléstis Sponsus in ejus puríssimo corde delícias suas collocávit, cui suórum étiam vúlnerum stígmata ígneo amóris stylo divínus zelátor inússit. Hinc illa nihil nisi Christum loquebátur, quem in corde gestábat, qui nusquam se conveniéntius, quam in sacraménto altáris, ac deínde in hujus suæ diléctæ corde et ánima inveniéndum pronuntiávit. Ejúsdem caríssimæ Sponsæ sanctitátem divíni sui oris confirmávit oráculo, cum testátus est, nullam tunc témporis ánimam in terris vívere, quæ, ut illi conjunctior, ita grátior esset et accéptior.

Deíparam Vírginem peculiári benefício in matrem et procuratrícem sibi a Christo datam, quam cum áliis cæli cívibus frequénter habébat spectábilem, singulári pietáte prosequebátur. Erga sanctíssimum Eucharistíæ sacraméntum et Christi passiónem tanto amóris et gratitúdinis afficiebátur ardóre, ut tota lácrimis liquésceret. Animas piaculáribus flammis addíctas quotidiánis suffrágiis et assíduis précibus sublevábat. Zelo divíni honóris promovéndi, et procurándæ salútis próximi júgiter ardébat. Cum ígitur ferventíssimo Dei amóre pótius quam morbo languéret, huic Christus, sanctíssima Matre, dilectóque discípulo, et candidíssimo Vírginum choro comitátus, áffuit, et ejus ánimam, córporis solútam compágibus, ac mirábili péctoris explicatióne intra cordis sui pene. trália recéptam, ad cæléstem thálamum tradúxit.

39:17 By a voice he saith: Hear me, ye divine offspring, and bud forth as the rose planted by the brooks of waters.

39:18 Give ye a sweet odour as frankincense.

39:19 Send forth flowers, as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace, and praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works.

39:20 Magnify his name, and give glory to him with the voice of your lips, and with the canticles of your mouths, and with harps, and in praising him, you shall say in this manner:

39:21 All the works of the Lord are exceeding good.

61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.

61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth, and praise before all the nations.

62:1 For Sion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one come forth as brightness, and her saviour be lighted as a lamp.

62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy just one, and all kings thy glorious one: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

62:3 And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

62:4 Thou shalt no more be called Forsaken: and thy land shall no more be called Desolate: but thou shalt be called My pleasure in her, and thy land inhabited. Because the Lord hath been well pleased with thee: and thy land shall be inhabited.

62:5 For the young man shall dwell with the virgin, and thy children shall dwell in thee. And the bridegroom shall rejoice over the bride, and thy God shall rejoice over thee.

62:6 Upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold not your peace,

62:7 And give him no silence till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

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.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum cælórum decem virgínibus, quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Et réliqua.

We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.

To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.

During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.

When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.

We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.

O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.

Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.

Day by day * we magnify thee;

During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.

O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.

O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.

O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Thou art worthy of praise, thou art worthy of hymns, to Thee be glory: to God the Father and the Son with the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.

Let us pray.

Deus, qui in puríssimo corde beátæ Gertrúdis Vírginis tuæ jucúndam tibi habitatiónem præparásti; ejus méritis et intercessióne cordis nostri máculas cleménter abstérge; ut digna divínæ majestátis tuæ habitátio éffici mereátur.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
