Pange Lingua

Hodie paretur locus aptus in aliqua Capella Ecclesiæ, vel Altari: et decenter, quoad fieri potest: ornetur cum velis et luminibus: ubi Calix cum Hostia, ut supra reservata, reponatur. Finita autem Missa, accenduntur intorticia, et fit Processio more solito, alio tamen Subdiacono parato Crucem ferente. Celebrans indutus Pluviali albo, stans ante Altare, imponit incensum in duobus thuribulis absque benedictione: deinde in medio genuflexus, cum altero incensat ter Sacramentum: et accepto Calice cum Sacramento de manu Diaconi stantis, et cooperto extremitatibus Veli, quo ejus humeri teguntur, procedit médius inter eúndem Diaconum a dextris et Subdiaconum a sinistris sub baldachino, duobus Acolythis Sacramentum continue incensantibus, usque ad locum præparatum, ubi pro crastino servandum est. Interea dum fit Processio, cantatur Hymnus Pange, lingua, gloriosi Corporis mystérium.

v. Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's glory: Of His Flesh the mystery sing; Of His Blood all price exceeding. Shed by our immortal King. Destined for the world's redemption From a noble womb to spring.

v. Pange língua, gloriósi Córporis mystérium, Sanguinísque pretiósi, Quem in mundi prétium Fructus ventris generósi Rex effúdit géntium.

v. Of a pure and spotless Virgin, Born for us on earth below, He, as Man with man conversing, Stayed the seeds of truth to sow, Then He closed in solemn order Wondrously His life of woe.

v. Nobis datus, nobis natus Ex intácta Vírgine, Et in mundo conversátus, Sparso verbi sémine. Sui moras incolátus. Miro clausit órdine.

On the night of His last supper, Seated with His chosen band, He, the paschal victim eating, First fulfills the Law's command; Then as food to all His brethren Gives himself with His own hand.

v. In suprémæ nocte cœnæ Recúmbens cum frátribus, Observáta lege plene Cibis in legálibus, Cibum turbæ duodénæ Se dat suis mánibus.

v. Word made Flesh, the bread of nature, By His words to Flesh He turns; Wine into His Blood He changes: What though sense no change discerns, Only be the heart in earnest, Faith her lesson quickly learns.

v. Verbum caro, panem verum Verbo carnem éfficit; Fitque sanguis Christi merum: Et si sensus déficit, Ad firmándum cor sincérum Sola fides súfficit.

v. Down in adoration falling, Lo, the Sacred Host we hail, Lo, o'er ancient forms departing Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.

v. Tantum ergo Sacraméntum Venerémur cérnui: Et antíquum documéntum Novo cedat rítui: Præstet fides supplémentum Sénsuum deféctui.

v. To the everlasting Father And the Son who reigns on high With the Holy Ghost proceeding Forth from each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty. Amen.

v. Genitóri, Genitóque Laus et iubilátio: Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedíctio Procedénti ab utróque Compar sit laudátio. Amen.

Stripping the altar

Cum autem ventum fuerit ad locum paratum, Diaconus genuflexus a Sacerdote stanti accipit Calicem cum Sacramento, et ponit illum primo super Altare, ubi a Sacerdote genuflexo incensatur, ut supra: deinde reponit in capsula.

When Vespers are not recited, the celebrant proceeds to strip the altars, reciting alternately the following psalm:

Denudatione altaris

Antiphon

Postea in Choro dicuntur Vesperæ sine cantu. Quibus expletis, Sacerdos, Alba et Stola violacea indutus, cum Ministris denudet Altaria, legendo Antiphonam

Ps 21:19

Antiphona

Ant. They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. (21:2) O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. (21:3) O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. (21:4) But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel. (21:5) In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them. (21:6) They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. (21:7) But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. (21:8) All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. (21:9) He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. (21:10) For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb. (21:11) From my mothers womb thou art my God, * depart not from me. (21:12) For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me. (21:13) Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me. (21:14) They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring. (21:15) I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered. (21:15) My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels. (21:16) My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. (21:17) For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me. (21:18) They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones. (21:19) And they have looked and stared upon me. * They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. (21:20) But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence. (21:21) Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog. (21:22) Save me from the lions mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. (21:23) I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee. (21:24) Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him. (21:25) Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. (21:25) Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me. (21:26) With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him. (21:27) The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever. (21:28) All the ends of the earth * shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: (21:28) And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight. (21:29) For the kingdom is the Lords; * and he shall have dominion over the nations. (21:30) All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him. (21:31) And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him. (21:32) There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: * and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made. Ant. They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.

Ps 21:19

Washing of the feet

Ant. Divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea: et super vestem meam misérunt sortem. (21:2) Deus, Deus meus, réspice in me: quare me dereliquísti? * longe a salúte mea verba delictórum meórum. (21:3) Deus meus, clamábo per diem, et non exáudies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi. (21:4) Tu autem in sancto hábitas, * laus Israël. (21:5) In te speravérunt patres nostri: * speravérunt, et liberásti eos. (21:6) Ad te clamavérunt, et salvi facti sunt: * in te speravérunt, et non sunt confúsi. (21:7) Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: * oppróbrium hóminum, et abjéctio plebis. (21:8) Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput. (21:9) Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum. (21:10) Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ. In te projéctus sum ex útero: (21:11) De ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu, * ne discésseris a me: (21:12) Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádjuvet. (21:13) Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi: * tauri pingues obsedérunt me. (21:14) Aperuérunt super me os suum, * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens. (21:15) Sicut aqua effúsus sum: * et dispérsa sunt ómnia ossa mea. (21:15) Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens * in médio ventris mei. (21:16) Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhǽsit fáucibus meis: * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me. (21:17) Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi: * concílium malignántium obsédit me. (21:18) Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos: * dinumeravérunt ómnia ossa mea. (21:19) Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me: * divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea, et super vestem meam misérunt sortem. (21:20) Tu autem, Dómine, ne elongáveris auxílium tuum a me: * ad defensiónem meam cónspice. (21:21) Erue a frámea, Deus, ánimam meam: * et de manu canis únicam meam: (21:22) Salva me ex ore leónis: * et a córnibus unicórnium humilitátem meam. (21:23) Narrábo nomen tuum frátribus meis: * in médio ecclésiæ laudábo te. (21:24) Qui timétis Dóminum, laudáte eum: * univérsum semen Jacob, glorificáte eum. (21:25) Tímeat eum omne semen Israël: * quóniam non sprevit, neque despéxit deprecatiónem páuperis: (21:25) Nec avértit fáciem suam a me: * et cum clamárem ad eum, exaudívit me. (21:26) Apud te laus mea in ecclésia magna: * vota mea reddam in conspéctu timéntium eum. (21:27) Edent páuperes, et saturabúntur: et laudábunt Dóminum qui requírunt eum: * vivent corda eórum in sǽculum sǽculi. (21:28) Reminiscéntur et converténtur ad Dóminum * univérsi fines terræ: (21:28) Et adorábunt in conspéctu ejus * univérsæ famíliæ géntium. (21:29) Quóniam Dómini est regnum: * et ipse dominábitur géntium. (21:30) Manducavérunt et adoravérunt omnes pingues terræ: * in conspéctu ejus cadent omnes qui descéndunt in terram. (21:31) Et ánima mea illi vivet: * et semen meum sérviet ipsi. (21:32) Annuntiábitur Dómino generátio ventúra: * et annuntiábunt cœli justítiam ejus pópulo qui nascétur, quem fecit Dóminus. Ant. Divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea: et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.

At a convenient hour, after the unclothing of the altars, a signal is given with the clapper, and the clergy assemble for the Maundy or the Washing of the feet. The prelate or superior wears a purple stole and cope over his amice and alb, and with the deacon and subdeacon vested in white dalmatics, comes to the appointed place. The celebrant puts incense into the thurible, served by the deacon. Then the deacon, holding the Gospel book before his breast, kneels before the celebrant and asks a blessing; having received it, while two acolytes stand by with lighted candles, and the subdeacon holds the book, he makes the Sign of the Cross over the book and incenses it and sings, in the usual way, the Gospel of the Mass.

Lotio pedum

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Continuation ++ of the holy Gospel according to John

Post denudationem Altarium, hora competenti facto signo cum tabula, conveniunt Clerici ad faciendum Mandatum. Prælatus, seu Superior, super Amictu et Alba induitur Stola et Pluviali violaceis, et in loco ad id deputato, ministrante Diacono (qui paratus cum Subdiacono, ut in Missa, paramentis albis, ei assistit), imponit incensum in thuribulo: deinde Diaconus librum Evangeliorum ante pectus tenens genuflexus ante Superiorem, petiti benedictionem: qua accepta, astantibus duobus Acolythis cum candelabris accensis, et Subdiacono librum tenente, signat librum, et incensat, et cantat, ut moris est Evangelium.

Joann 13:1-15

V. Dóminus vobíscum. R. Et cum spíritu tuo. Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.

Before the festival-day of the Pasch, Jesus knowing that His hour was come, that He should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world. He loved them unto the end. And when supper was done the devil having now put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon the Iscariot, to betray Him, knowing that the Father had given Him all things into His hands and that He came from God and goeth to God: He riseth from supper and layeth aside His garments and, having taken a towel, girded Himself. After that, He putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded. He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to Him: Lord, dost Thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now: but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith to Him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with Me. Simon Peter saith to Him: Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. For He knew who he was that would betray Him; therefore He said: You are not all clean. Then after He had washed their feet and taken His garments, being set down again, He said to them: Know you what I have done to you? You call Me Master and Lord. And you say well; for so I am. If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also.

Joann 13:1-15

After this the subdeacon takes the Gospel book open to the officiating priest to kiss, and the deacon incenses him as usual. Then the celebrant removes his cope, girds himself with a cloth, and assisted by his ministers, begins the washing of the feet of twelve clerks or twelve poor people chosen for the ceremony. While the subdeacon holds the right foot of each of those whose feet are to be washed, the celebrant, kneeling before him, washes the foot, wipes and kisses it, the deacon handing him a towel for the wiping. Meanwhile the following chants are sung by the choir.

Ante diem festum Paschæ, sciens Jesus, quia venit hora ejus, ut tránseat ex hoc mundo ad Patrem: cum dilexísset suos, qui erant in mundo, in finem diléxit eos. Et cœna facta, cum diábolus jam misísset in cor, ut tráderet eum Judas Simónis Iscariótæ: sciens, quia ómnia dedit ei Pater in manus, et quia a Deo exívit, et ad Deum vadit: surgit a cœna et ponit vestiménta sua: et cum accepísset línteum, præcínxit se. Deínde mittit aquam in pelvim, et cœpit laváre pedes discipulórum, et extérgere línteo, quo erat præcínctus. Venit ergo ad Simónem Petrum. Et dicit ei Petrus: Dómine, tu mihi lavas pedes? Respóndit Jesus et dixit ei: Quod ego fácio, tu nescis modo, scies autem póstea. Dicit ei Petrus: Non lavábis mihi pedes in ætérnum. Respóndit ei Jesus: Si non lávero te, non habébis partem mecum. Dicit ei Simon Petrus: Dómine, non tantum pedes meos, sed et manus et caput. Dicit ei Jesus: Qui lotus est, non índiget nisi ut pedes lavet, sed est mundus totus. Et vos mundi estis, sed non omnes. Sciébat enim, quisnam esset, qui tráderet eum: proptérea dixit: Non estis mundi omnes. Postquam ergo lavit pedes eórum et accépit vestiménta sua: cum recubuísset íterum, dixit eis: Scitis, quid fécerim vobis? Vos vocátis me Magíster et Dómine: et bene dícitis: sum étenim. Si ergo ego lavi pedes vestros, Dóminus et Magíster: et vos debétis alter altérius laváre pedes. Exémplum enim dedi vobis, ut, quemádmodum ego feci vobis, ita et vos faciátis.

Antiphona

Quo finito, Subdiaconus portat librum apertum osculandum Superiori, et Diaconus eum de more incensat. Postea Superior exuitur Pluviali, et per Diaconum et Subdiaconum præcingitur linteo, et sic præcinctus, assistentibus sibi iisdem Diacono et Subdiacono, accedit ad lotionem pedum, et per ordinem dispositis iis qui lavandi sunt, Clericis pelvim et aquam ministrantibus, Subdiacono singulorum pedem dextrum tenente, genuflectens singulis, illorum pedem lavat, extergit, et osculatur, Diacono præbente linteum ad abstergendum. Et interim hæc subscripta cantantur.

Which do Thou vouchsafe to grant, who livest and reignest God for ever and ever. R. Amen.

Deus, a quo et Judas reátus sui pœnam, et confessiónis suæ latro prǽmium sumpsit, concéde nobis tuæ propitiatiónis efféctum: ut, sicut in passióne sua Jesus Christus, Dóminus noster, divérsa utrísque íntulit stipéndia meritórum; ita nobis, abláto vetustátis erróre, resurrectiónis suæ grátiam largiátur: r. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen.

O God, from whom Judas received the punishment of his guilt, and the thief the reward of his confession: grant unto us the full fruit of Thy clemency; that even as in His Passion, our Lord Jesus Christ gave to each a retribution according to his merits, so having taken away our old sins, He may bestow upon us the grace of His Resurrection. Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. r. Who livest and reignest with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen

Lesson from the first letter of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

1 Cor 11:20-32.

1 Cor 11: 20-32.

Fratres: Conveniéntibus vobis in unum, jam non est Domínicam cœnam manducáre. Unusquísque enim suam cœnam præsúmit ad manducándum. Et alius quidem ésurit: álius autem ébrius est. Numquid domos non habétis ad manducándum et bibéndum? aut ecclésiam Dei contémnitis, et confúnditis eos, qui non habent? Quid dicam vobis? Laudo vos? In hoc non laudo. Ego enim accépi a Dómino quod et trádidi vobis, quóniam Dóminus Jesus, in qua nocte tradebátur, accépit panem, et grátias agens fregit, et dixit: Accípite, et manducáte: hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradétur: hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem. Simíliter et cálicem, postquam cœnávit, dicens: Hic calix novum Testaméntum est in meo sánguine: hoc fácite, quotiescúmque bibétis, in meam commemoratiónem. Quotiescúmque enim manducábitis panem hunc et cálicem bibétis: mortem Dómini annuntiábitis, donec véniat. Itaque quicúmque manducáverit panem hunc vel bíberit cálicem Dómini indígne, reus erit córporis et sánguinis Dómini. Probet autem seípsum homo: et sic de pane illo edat et de cálice bibat. Qui enim mandúcat et bibit indígne, judícium sibi mandúcat et bibit: non dijúdicans corpus Dómini. Ideo inter vos multi infírmi et imbecílles, et dórmiunt multi. Quod si nosmetípsos dijudicarémus, non útique judicarémur. Dum judicámur autem, a Dómino corrípimur, ut non cum hoc mundo damnémur.

Brethren, When you come therefore into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper. For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is My Body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of Me. In like manner also the chalice, after He had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in My Blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of Me. For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until He come. Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and the Blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself; and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the Body of the Lord. Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep. But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.
