The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER XI
How the Night Office Is to Be Said on Sundays
For the night office on Sunday the monks should rise earlier. At this
office let the following regulations be observed, namely: after six
psalms and the verse have been sung, as we arranged above, and all
have been properly seated on the benches in their order, let four
lessons with their responsories be read from the book, as we said
above. In the fourth responsory only, let the Gloria be said by the
chanter, and as soon as he beginneth it let all presently rise with
reverence.
After these lessons let six other psalms with antiphons and the verse
follow in order as before. After these let there be said three
canticles from the Prophets, selected by the Abbot, and chanted with
Alleluia. When the verse also hath been said and the Abbot hath given
the blessing, let four other lessons from the New Testament be read
in the order above mentioned. But after the fourth responsory let the
Abbot intone the hymn Te Deum laudamus. When this hath been said, let
the Abbot read the lesson from the Gospel, all standing with
reverence and awe. When the Gospel hath been read let all answer
Amen, and immediately the Abbot will follow up with the hymn Te decet
laus, and when he hath given the blessing Lauds will begin.
Let this order of the night office be observed on Sunday the same way
in all seasons, in summer as well as in winter, unless perchance
(which God forbid) the brethren should rise too late and part of the
lessons or the responsories would have to be shortened. Let every
precaution be taken that this does not occur. If it should happen,
let him through whose neglect it came about make due satisfaction for
it to God in the oratory.
