Have to go out on an errand later on, unfortunately, and so decided to sleep through the Paris Mass at 0200; I will be back here with about half an hour to spare before Saint-Eugène's Vespers, tsk, not having watched the video recording of Mass: not a catastrophe, obviously, but I dislike the disorder it involves.
Am back earlier-- it is shortly after 0730-- than I had anticipated last night for the simple reason that I left the house earlier, just when the Office was done. This is because at some point during Saint Gregory's homily at Matins I realised that the supermarket actually opens at six. That I have it lodged in my mind that seven o'clock is when I get to the store is down to my aptitude for converting these circumstances of daily life (e.g. walks, shopping, shower times) into rules. This saves a certain amount of fussing but also can serve to blind me to possibilities. Eh. I had to buy solution for dry eyes with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (a word I've never pronounced) in it since I forgot to add it to the shopping cart Friday morning; while yesterday and this morning passed without any incident, I'm afraid to go more than two nights without the eye drops. While immiserating about my forgetfulness and the probable horrors of a scratched retina, it occurred to me to look online and to my chagrin I discovered that I can buy the stuff at Amazon for a couple of dollars less than what Safeway charges. I wouldn't do the buying online to save two bucks if it were a question of taking business away from e.g. Kiva, the locally-owned grocery downtown, but I have no qualms about depriving the Safeway-Albertsons-Fred Meyer-Kroger corporation of 'em.
Lectio 1
De Isaía ProphétaIsa 11:1-4Et egrediétur virga de radíce Jesse, et flos de radíce ejus ascéndet.Et requiéscet super eum Spíritus Dómini: spíritus sapiéntiæ et intelléctus, spíritus consílii et fortitúdinis, spíritus sciéntiæ et pietátis;Et replébit eum spíritus timóris Dómini: non secúndum visiónem oculórum judicábit, neque secúndum audítum áurium árguet:Sed judicábit in justítia páuperes, et árguet in æquitáte pro mansuétis terræ:
R. Jerúsalem, cito véniet salus tua: Quare mœróre consúmeris? numquid consiliárius non est tibi, quia innovávit te dolor?* Salvábo te, et liberábo te, noli timére.V. Ego enim sum Dóminus, Deus tuus, Sanctus Israël, Redémptor tuus.R. Salvábo te, et liberábo te, noli timére.
Lectio 2Isa 11:4-7Et percútiet terram virga oris sui, et spíritu labiórum suórum interfíciet ímpium.Et erit justítia cíngulum lumbórum ejus: et fides cinctórium renis ejus.Habitábit lupus cum agno, et pardus cum hædo accubábit, vitúlus et leo et ovis simul morabúntur, et puer párvulus minábit eos.Vítulus et ursus pascéntur, simul requiéscent cátuli eórum, et leo quasi bos cómedet páleas.
R. Ecce Dóminus véniet, et omnes Sancti ejus cum eo, et erit in die illa lux magna: et exíbunt de Jerúsalem sicut aqua munda: et regnábit Dóminus in ætérnum* Super omnes gentes.V. Ecce Dóminus cum virtúte véniet: et regnum in manu ejus, et potéstas, et impérium.R. Super omnes gentes.
Lectio 3Isa 11:8-10Et delectábitur infans ab úbere super forámine áspidis, et in cavérna réguli, qui ablactátus fúerit, manum suam mittet.Non nocébunt, et non occídent in univérso monte sancto meo: quia repléta est terra sciéntia Dómini, sicut aquæ maris operiéntes.In die illa radix Jesse, qui stat in signum populórum, ipsum gentes deprecabúntur, et erit sepúlcrum ejus gloriósum.
R. Cívitas Jerúsalem, noli flere: quóniam dóluit Dóminus super te:* Et áuferet a te omnem tribulatiónem.V. Ecce Dóminus in fortitúdine véniet: et brácchium ejus dominábitur.R. Et áuferet a te omnem tribulatiónem.V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.R. Et áuferet a te omnem tribulatiónem.
Introitus. Is. 30, 30. Pópulus Sion, ecce, Dóminus véniet ad salvándas gentes: et audítam fáciet Dóminus glóriam vocis suæ in lætítia cordis vestri. Ps. 79, 2 Qui regis Israël, inténde: qui dedúcis, velut ovem, Joseph. ℣. Glória Patri.
Lectio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apostoli ad Romános.
Rom. 15, 4—13.
Fratres: Quæcúmque scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrínam scripta sunt: ut per patiéntiam et consolatiónem Scripturárum spem habeámus. Deus autem patiéntiæ et solácii det vobis idípsum sápere in altérutrum secúndum Jesum Christum: ut unánimes, uno ore honorificétis Deum et Patrem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi. Propter quod suscípite ínvicem, sicut et Christus suscépit vos in honórem Dei. Dico enim Christum Jesum minístrum fuísse circumcisiónis propter veritátem Dei, ad confirmándas promissiónes patrum: gentes autem super misericórdia honoráre Deum, sicut scriptum est: Proptérea confitébor tibi in géntibus, Dómine, et nómini tuo cantábo. Et íterum dicit: Lætámini, gentes, cum plebe ejus. Et iterum: Laudáte, omnes gentes, Dóminum: et magnificáte eum, omnes pópuli. Et rursus Isaías ait: Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsúrget régere gentes, in eum gentes sperábunt. Deus autem spei répleat vos omni gáudio et pace in credéndo: ut abundétis in spe et virtúte Spíritus Sancti.
Graduale. Ps. 49, 2-3 et 5. Ex Sion species decóris ejus: Deus maniféste véniet, ℣. Congregáta illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinavérunt testaméntum ejus super sacrifícia.
Allelúja, allelúja, ℣. Ps. 121, 1 Lætátus sum in his, quæ dicta sunt mihi: in domum Dómini íbimus. Allelúja.
✠ Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
Matth, 11, 2–10
In illo tempore: Cum audísset Joánnes in vínculis ópera Christi, mittens duos de discípulis suis, ait illi: Tu es, qui ventúrus es, an alium exspectámus? Et respóndens Jesus, ait illis: Eúntes renuntiáte Joánni, quæ audístis et vidístis. Cæci vident, claudi ámbulant, leprósi mundántur, surdi áudiunt, mórtui resúrgunt, páuperes evangelizántur: et beátus est, qui non fúerit scandalizátus in me. Illis autem abeúntibus, cœpit Jesus dícere ad turbas de Joánne: Quid exístis in desértum vidére? arúndinem vento agitátam? Sed quid exístis videre? hóminem móllibus vestitum? Ecce, qui móllibus vestiúntur, in dómibus regum sunt. Sed quid exístis vidére? Prophétam? Etiam dico vobis, et plus quam Prophétam. Hic est enim, de quo scriptum est: Ecce, ego mitto Angelum meum ante fáciem tuam, qui præparábit viam tuam ante te.
The Schola repeated the Sol sub nube latuit this morning, after the Gospel and after M. le Curé's homily (before the Credo); it is an anonymous conductus from the Magnus Liber Organi of the 12th century cathedral school of Notre-Dame, attributed sometimes to Gautier de Châtillon, and very lovely. ("This conductus has two contrafacts: the devotional song Pour mon chief reconforter [RS 885] by Gautier de Coinci and the chanson Chanter et renvoisier sueil [RS 1001] by Thibaut de Blaison."-- I'm not sure what it means, its having two contrafacts, ha; the note at the third video infra.)
And this version, too.
And this third version.
Offertorium. Ps. 84, 7–8. Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos, et plebs tua lætábitur in te: osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam, et salutáre tuum da nobis.
It must have been decided that convertens rather than conversus is the more correct reading; I don't know the rationale for the alteration while being sure that 'they' had one.
Secreta. Placáre, quǽsumus, Dómine, humilitátis nostræ précibus et hóstiis: et, ubi nulla suppétunt suffrágia meritórum, tuis nobis succúrre præsídiis. Per Dóminum.
Communio. Bar. 5, 5; 4, 36 Jerúsalem, surge et sta in excélso, ei vide jucunditátem, quæ véniet tibi a Deo tuo.
The prose for the Second Sunday in the Parisian Rite was sung at the Communion; was composed by Notkerus Balbulus (840-912) of Saint-Gall.
Regnántem sempitérna
Per sæcla susceptúra
Cóncio, devóte cóncrepa:
Fáctóri reddéndo débita:
Quem júbilant ágmina cœlica, éjus vúltu
exhilaráta:
Quem exspéctant ómnia térrea, éjus nútu
examinánda
Distríctum ad judícia:
Cleméntem in poténtia.
Túa nos sálva, Chríste, cleméntia, propter
quos pássus es díra.
Ad póli ástra súbleva nítida,qui sórde térgis
sæcula.
Influe sálus véra, effuga perícula.
Omnia ut sint munda tríbue pacífica:
Ut hic túa sálvi misericórdia,
Læti régna post adeámus súpera:
Quo régnas sæcula per infiníta. Amen
Vespers has finished; I must attend to this and that before I turn on the video recording of Holy Mass. In a while the recording of Vespers will be available to place here.
