5.02. IN MEDIO MARIS Per S. Pietro In medio maris contrarius erat ventus. In imbre, in unda, in fluctibus levis Navicula levis, navicula iactabatur. Iam quarta vigilia noctis errabant, dolentes, lugentes; Ecce, ecce a longe, ecce ambulans super mare, ecce venit ad eos. Turbati sunt stupore, timore. Clamabant pavidi, "fantasma est!" Locutus est Iesus, "Ego sum. Veni et tu, Petrus, super aquas." Discessit e navicula, ambulavit, tremuit, precatus est Petrus: "In vento valido, in unda liquida cupes immergitur. Iam cado iam pereo! Me saluum fac, Iesu." Apprehendit, repprehendit eum Dominus: "Modicae fidei, quare dubitasti?" Clamabant undique gentes, "Fili[us] Dei vere, tu." Alleluia! | In the midst of the sea, the wind was contrary. In rain, in swells, in light swirling surges, the light little ship was tossed. Now, during the fourth watch of the night they were wandering about, grieving, complaining; Behold! Behold from afar, Behold Him walking on the sea. Behold, He came to them. They were troubled with stupor, with terror. Frightened, the cried out, “It is a phantom!” Jesus spoke, “It is I. I have come, and you, Peter, come also on the waters.” Peter came down from the ship, and was fearful, and cried out in prayer: “In the strong wind, in the flowing waves, my [ship] is beginning to be overwhelmed. Now I fall! Now I perish! Save me, Jesu!” Jesus took him up and reproved him: “Oh thou of little faith, why did you doubt Me?” Then all the people exclaimed, “You truly are the son of God.” Alleluia! translation Owen Daly |

A joyful

The joys you
bring will not cease, they will not wane, but they will endure and blossom.

I run for shelter, to you I come, to you, O holy one, I have taken refuge. Lamenting, repenting, I beseech you.
May you not cast
your eyes down upon my words, O Mother of the Word. O merciful one, hear, hear, O kindly one,
bestow your favor. Alleluia.

Canant mortales iubilent hodie et sancti gloriam promant cum gaudio. Nulla sint tristia cuncta laetissima. De coelis splendet lux radiatur Ecclesia totus denique mundus illius meritis illustratur.

From heaven gleams the light; the Church and all the world as well is brightened with his merits. On earth, in Heaven, that Saint performed sublime miracles. When he trod upon earth, he loved God, and thereby he rejoices in Heaven. translation David Larrick |

5.06. ERUMPEBAT Per S. Benedeto Erumpebat undique Fama sanctitatis Beatissimi Patris nostri Benedicti. Erumpebat undique Fama et augebatur Benedictus in die maiori gratia ventura predicendo. A multis servus sociis Dum comitatus simulat se Regem esse Totila Hoc benedictus in tuens statim dicit spathario. Depone fili quod geris, depone purpuram, depone coronam Sceptrum, depone ornamentum enim illud Regium tuum non est depone. Oh turpis, oh demens astutia que vel per iocum, per iocum fallere sanctorum oculos non potest. Verum Dum prestat Totila Sancto Benedicto maximum genuflexus obsequium Regi Idolatre plurima, Benedictus prenuntiat. Oh pulcra, oh felix devotio que impetrare gratias a sanctis vocibus non dubitat. | From every side there burst forth the renown of the sanctity of our most blessed father Benedict.
There burst
forth all around his renown,
and Benedict continued day by day to be extolled by proclaiming the grace that was to come. The Gothic king Totila, once, in order to mock the divine prophetic power of Saint Benedict, sends his attendant to him dressed in high rank. The attendant, accompanied by many companions, pretends that he is King Totila. Benedict, seeing this, immediately says to the attendant, “O son, put off what you are wearing, put aside your purple royal garb, put aside the crown, the scepter, put off the adornment, for that regal splendor is not yours. Take it off.”
O foul, O
mindless cunning that in jest,
in sport cannot deceive the eyes of holy men. And while Totila offers to Saint Benedict the utmost submission of genuflection, Benedict foretold to the king much of idolatry.
O beautiful, O
happy devotion which hesitates not

5.07. O MARIA Per la Madonna O maria quam pulchra es, quam suavis, quam decora. Tegit terram sicut nebula lumen ortum indeficiens Flamma ignis Arca federis inter spinas ortum lilium. Tronum sion in Altissimis in columna nubis positum. O Maria (...) Ante saecula creata girum coeli circuivit sola profundum abissi penetravit Et in fluctibus maris ambulavit omnium corda virtute calcavit Et in hereditate Domini morata est. Tegit terram (...) O Maria (...) Alleluia. | O Mary, how beautiful you are, how sweet, how comely.
She enfolds
earth as a cloud, a light risen that never fails, a flame, a fire, the Ark of
the Covenant, a lily grown among the thorns.
A throne of Zion placed in the highest in a pillar of
cloud.
Before the
creation of the ages did she walk about the gyre of heaven, did she infuse into
the depth of the abyss.
And on the waves
of the sea did she walk, on the hearts of all did she virtuously tread, and she
did remain.

Venite et commedite exultationis in tabernaculis, peccatorum venite et commedite Angelorum escam salutis epulos paradisi viaticum. O salutis Christe portus de Maria Virgine ortus gloriam nobis da caelorum in saecula saeculorum. Venite et commedite favum cum melle meo, bibite vinum cum lacte meo, venite et commedite quia pretiosum est et admirandum convivium salutiferum et omni bonitate repletum. O salutis Christe (...) Amen, Alleluia, Amen. | You, O God, have prepared in your sweetness a table for man.
The
mountains have dripped down sweetness,
The
hills have flowed with milk and honey.
Come
and eat in the tabernacles of exultation of sinners, come and eat the food of
Angels, the banquets of salvation, the farewell supper of paradise.
O
Christ, salvation’s gate, born from Virgin Mary, grant us the glory of the
heavens forever and ever.
Come
and eat the honeycomb with my honey, drink wine with my milk, come and eat, for
it is precious and admirable, a banquet full of salvation
and
replete with every goodness.
O
Christ, salvation’s…
Amen,
Hallelujah, Amen.

5.09. ERAT PETRUS Per S. Pietro Erat Petrus dormiens inter milites cintus catenis et ante ostium custodes. Ecce lumen refulsit in habitaculum astitit Angelus percussit Petrus et eccitavit, “Surge, surge velociter, solve catenas, precimge te, calcea te, circunda tibi vestimentum, sequere me.” Pulsante eo ostium Ioannis venit puella et pregaudio intro currens non peruit, pulsabat Petrus, perseverabat pulsans; respondebant puellae in sanis in carcere est Petrus (pulsabat Petrus). Narrabat puella stare Petrum ante ianuam (pulsabat Petrus) dicebant illi Angelus eius est (pulsabat Petrus, perseverabat pulsans); aperuerunt, viderunt, obstupuerunt. Annuens autem Petrus manu ut tacerent. Nunciavit quod Dominus abduxit eum. O Petre protector in te sperantium Petre. Te Petre poscimus ut culpas abluas noxia diluas. Ecce miserum peccatis de victam de tua liberatione confisam. Te Petre poscimus ut culpas abluas da pacem famulis da nobis gloriam per cuncta saecula Alleluia. | Peter was sleeping, bound in chains, among the soldiers and guards before the door.
See! A light shone into the hut, an Angel at his
side shook and aroused Peter, “Rise up, rise up quickly, break the chains, gird
yourself, do on your shoes and a cloak, follow me.”
As
he knocks upon the John’s door, a girl within comes and running with joy but she did not open . Peter continued to knock.
The
girls answered, “Indeed Peter is in prison.” (Peter kept knocking.)
The
girl said that Peter was standing before the door. (Peter kept knocking,
knocking); they opened the door, they saw, they were astounded.
Peter
signaled with his hand that they should be quiet.
He
reported that the Lord had rescued him.
O
Peter, protector of those having hope in you, O Peter.
We
call upon you, O Peter, that you wash clean our faults, that you remove our
offenses.
Behold,
one wretched, overcome with sins, trusting completely in your liberation.
We
call upon you, O Peter that you wash clean our faults, grant peace to your
servants, give us glory through all the ages.
Alleluia.

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up, seek the Lord while He can be found. Call upon him while he is near.
I went all about the city, I sought him, and I found him not; I called him and he did not answer. Show me where my beloved lies.
On the altars, in the Sacrament, in various appearances there he lies, Jesus Christ, body as food, blood as drink— there lies the whole Christ.
Take up and partake of the Lord while he offers himself in the banquet, drink while he offers himself in the cup.
Partake of him while he is the bread of the Angels.
Partake of him while he is the bread of the Angels.
I have embraced him, nor shall I let him go. Alleluia. I have embraced him, nor shall I let him go until I will bring him into my soul. Alleluia.
