In response to requests, I am glad to proffer a further extract from the Dormitionist Breviary, illustrative of the devotion (not to say the peculiarly single-minded focus) of those most retiring of Canons Regular – for, just as their Missal, considering both their Mass rite and Mass propers, is a definite simplification to help concentrate upon "the one thing necessary", so too the Breviarium O.Dorm. is quite archaic in some ways, and yet also was at the outset deliberately simplified in other respects, the better to confirm, establish and strengthen the charism of the Order.
As the famous "four friars" revised and rendered uniform the liturgical books of the Friars Preachers, and as the Cistercians adapted the plainchant to their specific needs as an austere and reformed band of monastics, so the three Soporific Fathers, founders of the Dormitionists, were evidently zealous liturgists (with all that entails...).
I have previously given in full the Common Mass for feasts of Saints from the Missale O.Dorm. of 1785 (the current edition); now, from their Breviary, I (all unworthy) upload to the internet the Common of Saints according to the Divine Office pertaining to their Rite; because of their intrinsic interest, and their centrality to the Dormitionist Canons and their veneration of the Saints according to the custom of their Order, I first give the Matins lessons in translation, then append the Latin of the whole Common.
It will be noted that, for more expedition, I simply refer the interested reader to more easily-available Breviaries, rather than list the psalms appointed for the Hours (for the same reason, having noted some of them in an earlier post, I do not give the blessings for each lesson here); observe also that there is only one antiphon super psalmos at all Hours, similar to the Dominican custom of chanting all the Vesper psalms at feasts with only one antiphon appended, rather than one per psalm; and note the absence of a hymn at Matins – in common with the pre-Neo-Gallican Lyons Breviary, hymns are not used at all the Hours, but only at some (typically, Lauds, Vespers and Compline, and sometimes Matins).
But first, the Matins Lessons for Saints, in English – the first three from St Paul to the Hebrews, the middle three from the great St Augustine on the City of God, and the last three from Bl Macarius, a devout Greek author doubtless well-known to the first Dormitionists from their close study of ancient manuscripts brought back from the Holy Land:
DORMITIONIST MATINS LESSONS FROM THE COMMON OF SAINTS
From the Epistle to the Hebrews.
Heb. 11:33-38
(The Saints) by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners: women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection. And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons. They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted: of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caves of the earth. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Apoc. 14, 13; II Mach. 12:45
R/. i. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, * That they may rest. V/. They who had fallen asleep with godliness had great grace laid up for them, * That they may rest.
Heb. 12:1-2, 22-24
And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us: looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God. But you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels, and to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Wis. 3:1, 3; I Th. 4:12a
R/. ii. The souls of the just are in the hand of God. * They are in peace. V/. We will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep. * They are in peace.
Heb 12:26b-28; 13:20-21
Now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more, and I will move not only the earth, but heaven also. And in that he saith, Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable. Therefore receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace; whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence. And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament, fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Rom. 6:3, 4a; Col. 3:3
R/. iii. Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death? * For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God. V/. For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; * For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God.
A Lesson of St Augustine the bishop.
There shall be accomplished the words of the psalm, “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Ps 45:11) There shall be the great Sabbath which has no evening, which God celebrated among His first works, as it is written, “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it He had rested from all His work which God began to make.” (Genesis 2:2-3) For we shall ourselves be the seventh day, when we shall be filled and replenished with God's blessing and sanctification. There shall we be still, and know that He is God. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
R/. iv. We shall have eternal leisure to see that He is God, for we shall be full of Him when He * Shall be all in all. V/. How great shall be that felicity, which shall afford leisure for the praises of God, who * Shall be all in all.
For even our good works, when they are understood to be rather His than ours, are imputed to us that we may enjoy this Sabbath rest. For if we attribute them to ourselves, they shall be servile; for it is said of the Sabbath, “You shall do no servile work in it.” (Deuteronomy 5:14) Wherefore also it is said by Ezekiel the prophet, “And I gave them my Sabbaths to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctify them.” (Ezekiel 20:12) This knowledge shall be perfected when we shall be perfectly at rest, and shall perfectly know that He is God. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Ezechiel 20:20; Ps 45:11a
R/. v. Sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am * The Lord your God. V/. Be still and see that I am God. * The Lord your God.
After this period God shall rest as on the seventh day, when He shall give us (who shall be the seventh day) rest in Himself. Suffice it to say that the seventh shall be our Sabbath, which shall be brought to a close, not by an evening, but by the Lord's day, as an eighth and eternal day, consecrated by the resurrection of Christ, and prefiguring the eternal repose not only of the spirit, but also of the body. There we shall rest and see, see and love, love and praise. This is what shall be in the end without end. For what other end do we propose to ourselves than to attain to the kingdom of which there is no end? — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Luke 1:32b-33; Heb 12:22-24a
R/. vi. Jesus shall reign for ever * And of his kingdom there shall be no end. V/. You are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels, and to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, * And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Matthew 11, 25-30
At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones. — And so on.
A homily of blessed Macarius.
In the shadow of the law given by Moses, God decreed that everyone should rest on the Sabbath and do nothing. This was a figure and shadow of the true Sabbath given to the soul by the Lord. For the soul, that has been deemed worthy to have been set free from shameful and sordid thoughts, both observes the true Sabbath and enjoys true rest, being at leisure and freed from the works of darkness. For there in the typical Sabbath, even though they rested physically, their souls, however, were enslaved to evils and wickednesses. However, this, the true Sabbath, is genuine rest, since the soul is at leisure and is purified from the temptations of Satan and rests in the eternal rest and joy of the Lord. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
II Par. 14, 7; Jos. 22, 4a
R/. vii. We have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, * And He hath given us peace round about. V/. The Lord your God hath given your brethren rest and peace. * And He hath given us peace round about.
Just as then God decreed that also the irrational animals should rest on the Sabbath, that the ox should not be forced under the yoke of necessity, they should not burden the ass (for even the animals themselves were to rest from their heavy works), so, when the Lord came and gave the true and eternal Sabbath, He gave rest to the soul heavily burdened and loaded down with the burdens of iniquity, of unclean thoughts and labouring under restraint in doing works of injustice as though it were under slavery to bitter masters. And He lightened the soul from its burdens, so difficult to bear, of vain and obscene thoughts. And He took away the yoke, so bitter, of the works of injustice and gave rest to the soul, that had been worn out by the temptations of impurity. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Lev. 16, 31; 23, 32b
R/. viii. It shall be a Sabbath of rest: * And you shall afflict your souls by a perpetual religion. V/. From evening until evening you shall celebrate your Sabbaths. * And you shall afflict your souls by a perpetual religion.
For the Lord calls man to his rest, saying: “Come, all you who labour and are heavily burdened and I will refresh you” (Mt 11:28). And as many persons as obey and draw near, He refreshes them from all these heavy and burdensome and unclean thoughts. And they are at leisure from every iniquity, observing the true, pleasing, holy Sabbath. And they celebrate a feast of the Spirit, of joy and ineffable exultation. And they celebrate a pure service, pleasing to God from a pure heart. This is the true and holy Sabbath. Let us, therefore, entreat God that we may enter into this rest (Heb 4:11) and we may be freed from shameful and evil and vain thoughts so that thus we may be able to serve God out of a pure heart and celebrate the feast of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, blessed is he who enters into that rest. Glory to the Father Who is so well pleased and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever. Amen. — But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R/. Thanks be to God.
Isaias 58, 13b. 12b. 11a
R/. ix. If thou call the Sabbath delightful, * Thou shalt be called the repairer of the fences, † Turning the paths into rest. V/. The Lord will give thee rest continually. * Thou shalt be called the repairer of the fences, † Turning the paths into rest. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. † Turning the paths into rest.

DORMITIONIST OFFICE OF SAINTS
The Psalms appointed at Matins are the same as those in the Monastic Breviary for the various classes at Saints; those at first Vespers and Lauds are the festal five and nine respectively, as in the Office of the Dormition; those at second Vespers are as in the Roman Breviary prior to the reforms of St Pius X.

fecit, et benedixit Deus diem ſeptimum et ſanctificavit eum, quia in eo
requievit ab omnibus operibus ſuis, quæ inchoavit Deus facere. Dies enim

In
umbra legis per Moyſen datæ mandavit Deus, unumquemque requieſcere in ſabbatho,
et nihil agere. Hoc autem figura erat et umbra veri ſabbathi, quod animæ
donatur a Domino. Anima enim, quæ digna cenſetur ab obſcœnis et turpibus
cogitationibus liberari, tum verum ſabbathum celebrat, tum veram requiem
requieſcit, otium agens et liberata ab omnibus operibus tenebroſis. Illic enim
in typici ſabbathi celebratione, etſi corpora quieſcebant, verumtamen animæ
nequitiis ac vitiis erant illigatæ. Hoc vero, verum ſabbathum vera eſt requies

Dominus
enim vocat hominem ad recreationem, inquiens: Venite ad me omnes, qui laboratis

cogitationibus, quæ vacantes ab omni iniquitate, celebrant ſabbathum verum,
deliciarum plenum et ſanctum: peragunt feſtum Spiritus, gaudii et exultationis
