How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts! My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the Lord.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who wondrously revealed the unsearchable riches of Your Heart to blessed Margaret Mary, the Virgin, grant us, by her merits and through imitating her, to love You in all things and above all things, so that we may be found worthy to possess a lasting dwelling place in Your Heart itself.
Who livest…
Dómine Jesu Christe, qui investigábiles divítias Cordis tui beátæ Margarítæ Maríæ Vírgini mirabíliter revelásti: da nobis ejus méritis et imitatióne; ut, te in ómnibus et super ómnia diligéntes, jugem in eódem Corde tuo mansiónem habére mereámur:
Qui vivis…
Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians
Eph 3:8-9, 14-19
Brethren: To me, the very least of all saints, there was given this grace to announce among the Gentiles the good tidings of the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to enlighten all men as to what is the dispensation of the mystery which has been hidden from eternity in God, Who created all things. For this reason I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from Whom all fatherhood in heaven and on earth receives its name, that He may grant you from His glorious riches to be strengthened with power through His Spirit unto the progress of the inner man; and to have Christ dwelling through faith in your hearts: so that, being rooted and grounded in love, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Ephésios.
Ephes 3:8-9; 14-19.
Fratres: Mihi ómnium sanctórum mínimo data est grátia hæc, in géntibus evangelizáre investigábiles divítias Christi, et illumináre omnes, quæ sit dispensátio sacraménti abscónditi a sǽculis in Deo, qui ómnia creávit. Hujus rei grátia flecto génua mea ad Patrem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, ex quo omnis patérnitas in cælis et in terra nominátur, ut det vobis secúndum divítias glóriæ suæ, virtúte corroborári per Spíritum ejus in interiórem hóminem: Christum habitáre per fidem in córdibus vestris: in caritáte radicáti et fundáti, ut póssitis comprehéndere cum ómnibus sanctis, quæ sit latitúdo et longitúdo et sublímitas et profúndum: scire étiam supereminéntem sciéntiæ caritátem Christi, ut impleámini in omnem plenitúdinem Dei.
Cant 8:7
Deep waters cannot quench love, nor floods sweep it away.
Ps 72:26
℣. My flesh and my heart waste away; God is the God of my heart and my portion forever. Alleluia, alleluia.
Cant. 7:10
℣. I belong to my lover and for me He yearns. Alleluia.
Cant 8:7.
Aquæ multæ non potuérunt exstínguere caritátem, nec flúmina óbruent illam.
Ps 72:26
Defécit caro mea et cor meum: Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum. Allelúja, allelúja.
Cant 7:10.
Ego dilécto meo, et ad me conversio ejus. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 11:25-30
At that time, Jesus spoke and said, I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, for such was Your good pleasure. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and him to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
Matt 11:25-30
In illo témpore: Respóndens Jesus, dixit: Confíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine cæli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus, et revelásti ea párvulis. Ita, Pater: quóniam sic fuit plácitum ante te. Omnia mihi trádita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Fílium nisi Pater: neque Patrem quis novit nisi Fílius, et cui volúerit Fílius reveláre. Veníte ad me, omnes, qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego refíciam vos. Tóllite jugum meum super vos, et discite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde: et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Jugum enim meum suave est et onus meum leve.
Zach 9:17
What wealth is His, and what beauty! grain that makes the chosen ones flourish, and new wine, the maidens.
Zach 9:17
Quid bonum ejus est et quid pulchrum ejus, nisi fruméntum electórum et vinum gérminans vírgines?
May the gifts of Your people be acceptable to You, O Lord, and grant that we be enkindled with that divine fire radiating from the Heart of Your Son, which burned so fervently in blessed Margaret.
Through the same Christ our Lord…
Accépta tibi sint, Dómine, plebis tuæ múnera: et concéde; ut ignis ille divínus nos inflámmet, quo de Corde Fílii tui emisso beáta Margaríta María veheménter æstuávit.
Per eúndem…
Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Cant 6:2
I belong to my lover and my lover to me; He browses among the lilies.
Cant 6:2
Ego dilécto meo, et diléctus meus mihi, qui páscitur inter lília.
Having received the sacrament of Your Body and Blood, we beseech You, O Lord Jesus, grant us by the intercession of blessed Margaret Mary, the Virgin, that, stripping ourselves of worldly vanities, we may be found worthy to put on the meekness and humility of Your Heart.
Who livest…
Córporis et Sánguinis tui, Dómine Jesu, sumptis mystériis: concéde nobis, quǽsumus, beáta Margaríta María Vírgine intercedénte; ut, supérbis sǽculi vanitátibus exútis, mansuetúdinem et humilitátem Cordis tui indúere mereámur:
Qui vivis…
