NOTES ON THE TABLES OF

OCCURRENCE AND CONCURRENCE

1. A feast of our Lord of the 1st or 2nd class, occurring on a Sunday, takesthe place of that Sunday with all rights and privileges: hence no commemora-tion is made of the Sunday.

2. If two feasts of the same divine Person or two feasts of the same saint orblessed occur on the same day, the Office is of the first which holds a higherplace in the table of precedence, and the other is omitted.

3. If a feast of our Lord of the 1st or 2nd class concurs with any Sunday, orvice versa, Vespers are ordered according to the table of concurrence, but acommemoration is never made of a concurring Sunday in Vespers of the feastof our Lord, nor vice versa.

When to Make the Sign of the Cross, Stand, Kneel, and Sit in

the Recitation of the Divine Office

261. What is said here about the sign of the cross and the position of thebody in the recitation of the Divine Office holds for the recitation in choir or in

xxvi

common. It is fitting, however, that those who recite the Divine Office aloneconform to what is said about the sign of the cross.262. The special rules for the hebdomadary and the chanters are found in the

books of ceremonies. Therefore only those things which concern the "choirmembers" in general are indicated here.263. All make the sign of the cross from the forehead to the breast and from

the left shoulder to the right:a) at the beginning of all the Hours, when the Deus, in adjutorium ("O God,

come to my assistance") is said;b) at the verse Adjutorium nostrum ("Our help");c) at the absolution Indulgentiam ("May the almighty and merciful Lord")

after the Confiteor at Compline;d) at the beginning of the canticles Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc Dimit-

tis;e) at the blessing at the end of Prime and Compline;f) at the verse Divinum auxilium ("May the divine assistance") at the end of

the Divine Office.264. They make the sign of the cross on their mouth at the beginning of Mat-

ins, at the words Domine, labia mea aperies ("O Lord, open thou my lips.").265. They make the sign of the cross on their breast at the words Converte

nos ("Convert us") at Compline.266. All stand:a) at the beginning of each Hour, until the first verse of the psalm has been

begun;b) while the hymns and gospel canticles are said;c) at Matins also at the invitatory with its psalm and from the end of the last

antiphon of each nocturn until the first blessing before the lessons, inclusive;and while the text of the gospel is read before the homily;

d) at Lauds and at Vespers also from the repetition of the antiphon after thelast psalm to the end, unless they are to kneel at the preces or at the collect, ac-cording to the rubrics;

e) at Prime, from the repetition of the antiphon to the end, except at the read-ing of the Martyrology, unless they are to kneel at the collects;

f) at Terce, Sext and None, from the repetition of the antiphon to the end, un-less they are to kneel at the collect;

g) at Compline, from the repetition of the antiphon after the psalms to theend, unless they are to kneel at the collect;

h) at the intonation of the antiphons in sung Matins, Lauds and Vespers, ac-cording to custom;

i) at the final antiphon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, after Compline, on Sat-urday and Sunday, even if the Office is not of the Sunday, and throughoutPaschaltide.267. All kneel:

xxvii

O hope of every contrite heart,O joy of all the meek,To those who fall, how kind Thou art!How good to those who seek!

Nec lingua valet dícere,Nec líttera exprímere:Expértus potest crédere,Quid sit Jesum dilígere.

But what to those who find? ah! thisNor tongue nor pen can show:The love of Jesus, what it is,None but his lovers know.

The lesser litanies or rogations are assigned to the three ferias preceding the

Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord; however, the local Ordinary may transfer

them to other more suitable days according to the need or custom of the local-

ity.

None of the lesser litanies is said in the Office; those who are not present at a

procession or other special supplications, are not obliged to say the Litany of

the Saints.

However, in past times those who do not take part in the procession of the Lit-

any would say it privately after Lauds, with its prayers and Collects, but

without the Penitential Psalms. When the Litany is thus added to Lauds, it is

begun as soon as the response Deo gratias has been said at the end of the Of-

fice.

ad Primam


Psalms as on feasts. After the last psalm, but before the antiphon is repeated,

the Athanasian Creed is said:

Symbolum Athanasianum

UICÚMQUE vult salvus esse,* ante ómnia opus est, ut téneat

cathólicam fidem:Quam nisi quisque íntegram inviola-támque serváverit, * absque dúbio inætérnum períbit.

Q HOSOEVER willeth to besaved, * before all things it is

necessary that he hold the Catholicfaith.Which faith except every one do keepwhole and undefiled, * without doubt heshall perish eternally.

W

Fides autem cathólica hæc est: * utunum Deum in Trinitáte, et Trinitá-tem in unitáte venerémur.

Now the Catholic faith is this, * that weworship one God in Trinity, and Trinityin Unity.

Neque confundéntes persónas, * ne-que substántiam separántes.

Neither confounding the Persons, * nordividing the substance.

Alia est enim persóna Patris, ália Fí-lii, * ália Spíritus Sancti:

For there is one Person of the Father,another of the Son, * and another of theHoly Ghost.

Sed Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sanctiuna est divínitas, * æquális glória,coætérna majéstas.

But the Godhead of the Father, of theSon, and of the Holy Ghost is one, * theGlory Equal, the Majesty Co-Eternal.


212

Qualis Pater, talis Fílius, * talis Spí-ritus Sanctus.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son, *and such is the Holy Ghost.

Increátus Pater, increátus Fílius, *increátus Spíritus Sanctus.

The Father Uncreated, the Son Uncre-ated, * and the Holy Ghost Uncreated.

Imménsus Pater, imménsus Fílius, *imménsus Spíritus Sanctus.

The Father Infinite, the Son Infinite, *and the Holy Ghost Infinite.

Ætérnus Pater, ætérnus Fílius, *ætérnus Spíritus Sanctus.

The Father Eternal, the Son Eternal, *and the Holy Ghost Eternal.

Et tamen non tres ætérni, * sed unusætérnus.

And yet they are not three Eternals, *but one Eternal.

Sicut non tres increáti, nec tres im-ménsi, * sed unus increátus, et unusimménsus.

As also they are not three Uncreated,nor three Infinites, * but One Uncreated,and One Infinite.

Simíliter omnípotens Pater, omnípo-tens Fílius, * omnípotens SpíritusSanctus.

So likewise the Father is Almighty, theSon Almighty, * and the Holy GhostAlmighty.

Et tamen non tres omnipoténtes, *sed unus omnípotens.

And yet they are not three Almighties, *but One Almighty.

Ita Deus Pater, Deus Fílius, * DeusSpíritus Sanctus.

So the Father is God, the Son God, *and the Holy Ghost God.

Ut tamen non tres Dii, * sed unus estDeus.

And yet they are not three Gods, * butOne God.

Ita Dóminus Pater, Dóminus Fílius,* Dóminus Spíritus Sanctus.

So the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, *and the Holy Ghost Lord.

Et tamen non tres Dómini, * sedunus est Dóminus.

And yet they are not three Lords, * butOne Lord.

Quia, sicut singillátim unamquám-que persónam Deum ac Dóminumconfitéri christiána veritáte compélli-mur: * ita tres Deos aut Dóminos dí-cere cathólica religióne prohibémur.

For, like as we are compelled by Chris-tian truth to acknowledge every Personby Himself to be God and Lord, * so arewe forbidden by the Catholic Religionto say, there be three Gods or threeLords.

Pater a nullo est factus: * nec creá-tus, nec génitus.

The Father is made of none, * neithercreated, nor begotten.

Fílius a Patre solo est: * non factus,nec creátus, sed génitus.

The Son is of the Father alone: * notmade, nor created, but begotten.

Spíritus Sanctus a Patre et Fílio: *non factus, nec creátus, nec génitus,sed procédens.

The Holy Ghost is of the Father, and theSon: * not made, nor created, nor begot-ten, but proceeding.

Unus ergo Pater, non tres Patres:unus Fílius, non tres Fílii: * unusSpíritus Sanctus, non tres SpíritusSancti.

So there is One Father, not three Fath-ers; one Son, not three Sons; * one HolyGhost, not three Holy Ghosts.

Trinity Sunday

213

Et in hac Trinitáte nihil prius autpostérius, nihil majus aut minus: *sed totæ tres persónæ coætérnæ sibisunt et coæquáles.

And in this Trinity is nothing afore orafter, nothing is greater or less; * but thewhole three Persons are Co-Eternal to-gether, and Co-Equal.

Ita ut per ómnia, sicut jam supra dic-tum est, * et únitas in Trinitáte, etTrínitas in unitáte veneránda sit.

So that in all things, as is aforesaid, *the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity inUnity is to be worshipped.

Qui vult ergo salvus esse, * ita deTrinitáte séntiat.

He therefore that willeth to be safe, * lethim thus think of the Trinity.

Sed necessárium est ad ætérnam sa-lútem, * ut Incarnatiónem quoqueDómini nostri Jesu Christi fidélitercredat.

But it is necessary to eternal salvation, *that he also believe faithfully the In-carnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Est ergo fides recta ut credámus etconfiteámur, * quia Dóminus nosterJesus Christus, Dei Fílius, Deus ethomo est.

The right Faith therefore is, that we be-lieve and confess, * that our Lord JesusChrist, the Son of God, is God and man.

Deus est ex substántia Patris antesãcula génitus: * et homo est exsubstántia matris in sãculo natus.

God, of the Substance of the Father, Be-gotten before the worlds: * and Man, ofthe substance of His mother, born in theworld.

Perféctus Deus, perféctus homo: *ex ánima rationáli et humána carnesubsístens.

Perfect God, Perfect Man, * of a reas-oning soul and human flesh subsisting.

Æquális Patri secúndum divinitá-tem: * minor Patre secúndum huma-nitátem.

Equal to the Father as touching HisGodhead, * inferior to the Father astouching His Manhood.

Qui licet Deus sit et homo, * nonduo tamen, sed unus est Christus.

Who, although He be God and Man, *yet He is not two, but One Christ.

Unus autem non conversióne divini-tátis in carnem, * sed assumptiónehumanitátis in Deum.

One, however, not by conversion of theGodhead into Flesh, * but by taking ofthe Manhood into God.

Unus omníno, non confusióne subs-tántiæ, * sed unitáte persónæ.

One altogether, not by confusion ofSubstance, * but by Unity of Person.

Nam sicut ánima rationális et carounus est homo: * ita Deus et homounus est Christus.

For as the reasoning soul and flesh isone man, * so God and man is OneChrist.

Qui passus est pro salúte nostra:descéndit ad ínferos: * tértia die re-surréxit a mórtuis.

Who suffered for our salvation, descen-ded into hell, * rose again the third dayfrom the dead.

Ascéndit ad cælos, sedet ad déxte-ram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: * indeventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtu-

He ascended into heaven, He sitteth onthe right hand of the Father, GodAlmighty, * from whence He shall

At whose coming all men shall riseagain with their bodies, * and shall giveaccount for their own works.

Et qui bona egérunt, ibunt in vitamætérnam: * qui vero mala, in ignemætérnum.

And they that have done good shall gointo life eternal, * but they that havedone evil into eternal fire.

Hæc est fides cathólica, * quam nisiquisque fidéliter firmitérque credíde-rit, salvus esse non póterit.

This is the Catholic Faith, * which ex-cept a man believe faithfully and firmly,he cannot be safe.

Dominica I Post Pentecosten

The First Sunday after Pentecost is completely replaced by Trinity Sunday; no

commemoration of the Sunday is observed. However, in the ferial Office of the

week following Trinity Sunday, the prayer of the First Sunday after Pentecost

is used:

EUS, in te sperántium fortitú-do, adésto propítius invocatió-

nibus nostris: et quia sine te nihil po-test mortális infírmitas, præsta auxí-lium grátiæ tuæ; ut in exsequéndismandátis tuis, et voluntáte tibi et ac-tióne placeámus. Per Dóminum.

D GOD, the strength of them thathope in thee, graciously give ear

to our prayers; and since human infirm-ity without thee can do nothing, grant usthe help of thy grace, that, in fulfillingthy commandments, we may please theeboth in will and deed. Through ourLord.

Dread Framer of the earth and sky!Who dost the circling seasons give!And all the cheerful change supplyOf alternating morn and eve!

Fresh hope, at this, the sailor cheers;The waves their stormy strife allay;The Church’s Rock at this, in tears,Hastens to wash his guilt away.

Surgámus ergo strénue:Gallus jacéntes éxcitat,Et somnoléntos íncrepat,Gallus negántes árguit.

Arise ye, then, with one accord!Nor longer wrapt in slumber lie;The cock rebukes all who their LordBy sloth neglect, by sin deny.

At his clear cry joy springs afresh;Health courses through the sick man’s

O Sovereign Lord of Nature’s might,Who bad’st the water’s birth divide;Part in the heavens to take their flight,And part in ocean’s deep to hide;

Saint MarkSancti Marci

Evang. - II class - Apr. 25

The major Litanies are assigned to Apr. 25; if that day occurs on Easter

Sunday, or the Monday following Easter, it is transferred to Tuesday.

The major Litanies are not said in the Office, but in the church and according

to the local conditions and customs, of which the local Ordinary is the judge;

on this day a procession is fitting, in which the Litany of the Saints is said

(which nevertheless are not duplicated) along with its prayers. If, however, a

procession cannot be made, the local Ordinary can institute particular sup-

plications, in which is said the Litay of Saints and other prayers which are cus-

tomary in the procession.

All who are obligated to the recitation of the Divine Office, who are not

present for the procession or other prayers described above, are to preserve

this day the recitation of Litany of the Saints with their prayers, in the Latin

language.

If the Litany of Saints with its prayers, by local custom, is said in procession or

some other particular place in the vernacular, and one of the faithful who is

saying them, is obligated to the recitation of the Divine Office, and these pray-

ers are done in accordance with the rite, he is not bound to repeat it in the Lat-

in language in his prayers.

All from Common of Apostles/Martyr(s) in P.T., p. 932.

Hymn

Te sæculórum Príncipem,Te, Christe, Regem Géntium,Te méntium te córdiumUnum fatémur árbitrum.

To thee, O Prince of all that be,Thou Christ, O King eternally;O Framer of the mind and heart,Our one true Judge we say thou art.

Scelésta turba clámitat:Regnáre Christum nólumus:Te nos ovántes ómniumRegem suprémum dícimus.

The wicked protest, wail and cry,Christ Jesus’ reign they would deny;Rejoice we at thy glorious name,Thou Highest King we do proclaim.

O Christe, Princeps Pácifer,Mentes rebélles súbice:Tuóque amóre dévios,Ovíle in unum cóngrega.

O Christ! The Source of all our peace,Make all our sinful thoughts to cease;And still in us our loves misplaced,As Thy one sheepfold be we embraced.

Ad hoc cruénta ab árborePendes apértis bráchiis,Diráque fossum cúspideCor igne flagrans éxhibes.

For this, hanging on cruel tree,With arms outstretched, for all to see;His heart is pierced by soldier’s spear,Revealing burning love most dear.

Ad hoc in aris ábderisVini dapísque imágine,Fundens salútem fíliisTransverberáto péctore.

From this the altar of the treeThy blood flows forth from Calvary;As wine to us it doth appear,To thine own heart it draws us near.

Te natiónum PrãsidesHonóre tollant público,Colant magístri, júdices,Leges et artes éxprimant.

Thou Governor of all that be,May all thy creatures honour thee;All those who rule, O Lord renew!Source of all precepts just and true.

Submíssa regum fúlgeantTibi dicáta insígnia:Mitíque sceptro pátriamDomósque subde cívium.

To regal glory, all submit,All crowns and honours we do remit;—To thy scepter—so sweet and mild!Submit we as a little child.

Jesu tibi sit glória,Qui sceptra mundi témperas,Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu,In sempitérna sãcula. Amen.

All glory be, Jesu, to thee,Thy scepter over all that be;All glory, as is ever meet,To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.
