Per eúndem…
Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isa 60:1-6
Rise up in splendor, O Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; but upon you the Lord shines, and over you appears His glory. Nations shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance. Raise your eyes and look about; they all gather and come to you: your sons come from afar, and your daughters in the arms of their nurses. Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow, for the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you. Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Madian and Epha; all from Saba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ
Is 60:1-6
Surge, illumináre, Jerúsalem: quia venit lumen tuum, et glória Dómini super te orta est. Quia ecce, ténebræ opérient terram et caligo pópulos: super te autem oriétur Dóminus, et glória ejus in te vidébitur. Et ambulábunt gentes in lúmine tuo, et reges in splendóre ortus tui. Leva in circúitu óculos tuos, et vide: omnes isti congregáti sunt, venérunt tibi: fílii tui de longe vénient, et fíliæ tuæ de látere surgent. Tunc vidébis et áfflues, mirábitur et dilatábitur cor tuum, quando convérsa fúerit ad te multitúdo maris, fortitúdo géntium vénerit tibi. Inundátio camelórum opériet te dromedárii Mádian et Epha: omnes de Saba vénient, aurum et thus deferéntes, et laudem Dómino annuntiántes.
Isa 60:6, 1
All they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
℣. Rise up in splendor, O Jerusalem, for the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
Matt 2:2
℣. We have seen His star in the East: and have come with gifts to worship the Lord.
Isa 60:6; 60:1
Omnes de Saba vénient, aurum et thus deferéntes, et laudem Dómino annuntiántes.
℣. Surge et illumináre, Jerúsalem: quia glória Dómini super te orta est.
Matt 2:2.
Vídimus stellam ejus in Oriénte, et vénimus cum munéribus adoráre Dóminum.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 2:1-12
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him. But when King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and so was all Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and Scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet, ‘And you, Bethlehem, of the land of Juda, are by no means least among the princes of Juda; for from you shall come forth a leader who shall rule My people Israel.’ Then Herod summoned the Magi secretly, and carefully ascertained from them the time when the star had appeared to them. And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go and make careful inquiry concerning the Child, and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may go and worship Him. Now they, having heard the king, went their way. And behold, the star that they had seen in the East went before them, until it came and stood over the place where the Child was. And when they saw the star they rejoiced exceedingly. And entering the house, they found the Child with Mary His Mother, (genuflect) and falling down they worshipped Him. And opening their treasures they offered Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another way.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 2:1-12
Cum natus esset Jesus in Béthlehem Juda in diébus Heródis regis, ecce, Magi ab Oriénte venerunt Jerosólymam, dicéntes: Ubi est, qui natus est rex Judæórum? Vidimus enim stellam ejus in Oriénte, et vénimus adoráre eum. Audiens autem Heródes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Jerosólyma cum illo. Et cóngregans omnes principes sacerdotum et scribas pópuli, sciscitabátur ab eis, ubi Christus nasceretur. At illi dixérunt ei: In Béthlehem Judæ: sic enim scriptum est per Prophétam: Et tu, Béthlehem terra Juda, nequaquam mínima es in princípibus Juda; ex te enim éxiet dux, qui regat pópulum meum Israël. Tunc Heródes, clam vocátis Magis, diligénter dídicit ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ appáruit eis: et mittens illos in Béthlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogáte diligénter de púero: et cum invenéritis, renuntiáte mihi, ut et ego véniens adórem eum. Qui cum audíssent regem, abiérunt. Et ecce, stella, quam víderant in Oriénte, antecedébat eos, usque dum véniens staret supra, ubi erat Puer. Vidéntes autem stellam, gavísi sunt gáudio magno valde. Et intrántes domum, invenérunt Púerum cum María Matre ejus, (hic genuflectitur) et procidéntes adoravérunt eum. Et, apértis thesáuris suis, obtulérunt ei múnera, aurum, thus et myrrham. Et respónso accépto in somnis, ne redírent ad Heródem, per aliam viam revérsi sunt in regiónem suam.
Ps 71:10-11
The kings of Tharsis and the Isles shall offer gifts; the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring tribute. All kings shall pay Him homage, all nations shall serve Him.
Ps 71:10-11
Reges Tharsis, et ínsulæ múnera ófferent: reges Arabum et Saba dona addúcent: et adorábunt eum omnes reges terræ, omnes gentes sérvient ei.
O Lord, look favorably upon the gifts of Your Church, which are no longer gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, but, as these gifts signify, our offering is Jesus Christ Your Son, our Lord, Who is now sacrifice and food.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father…
Ecclésiæ tuæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, dona propítius intuere: quibus non jam aurum, thus et myrrha profertur; sed quod eisdem munéribus declarátur, immolátur et súmitur, Jesus Christus, fílius tuus, Dóminus noster:
Qui tecum…
Epiphany
It is truly meet and just, right and availing unto salvation, that we should in all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty and everlasting God. For when Thine only begotten Son showed Himself in the substance of our mortal nature, He restored us by the new light of His own immortality. And therefore with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the heavenly hosts, we sing a hymn to Thy glory, saying without ceasing:
de Epiphania Domini
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Quia, cum Unigénitus tuus in substántia nostræ mortalitátis appáruit, nova nos immortalitátis suæ luce reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
Matt 2:2
We have seen His star in the East and have come with gifts to worship the Lord.
Matt 2:2
Vídimus stellam ejus in Oriénte, et vénimus cum munéribus adoráre Dóminum.
Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that, by the understanding of our minds made pure, we may grasp what we celebrate by these solemn rites.
Through our Lord…
Præsta, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, quæ sollémni celebrámus officio, purificátæ mentis intellegéntia consequámur.
Per Dominum…
