Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist

The chants and texts for the feast (including a listing of the proper psalms) other than the readings can be found in the Liber Responsorialis (download from CC Watershed) from page 345.

Translations and notes on other sources for the responsory chants can be found under the label JohntheBaptistnav.

Translations of the readings can be found in the Liturgical Readings book - not all of the readings for the feast are available online, but those that are can be found arranged as for the Benedictine Office  on the Lectio Divina Notes blog.

Feast of the Sacred Heart

In a breviary

Those using older breviaries should note that the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus seems to have received a makeover after Pope Pius XI raised it to the equivalent of a solemnity in 1928.

The result is that the antiphons and responsories for the feast provided in the Liber Responsorialis are not the same as those set out in the 1963 breviary, and the feast in the monastic form is not available on Divinum Officium.

Chants

The net result is that while some of the chants and texts are available from the Nocturnale Romanum, and the invitatory antiphon and hymn can be found in the Liber Hymnarius, some are missing.

I've provided a set of texts and listed sources for the chants of the responsories that I have been able to locate here (see label Sacred Heart), but that still leaves a few responsories and antiphons unaccounted for, so if anyone knows of a source for these, please do let me know.

Vir Domini Benedictus ferrum - Translation of St Benedict (1962) no 4

R. Vir Dómini / Benedíctus ferrum de profúndo resíliens Gotho réddidit dicens: * Ecce labóra et noli contristári. V. Vix enim manúbrium misit ad lacum, ferrum de profúndo rédiit, † quod reddens dixit. R. Ecce labóra et noli contristári. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. R. Ecce labóra et noli contristári.

R. The man of the Lord Benedict returned the iron head to the Goth from the depths saying: Behold work on, and be sad no more. V. For as soon as he put the handle in the lake, the iron head came up from the depths and reattached itself, and so he returned it saying. R. Behold work on, and be sad no more. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R. Behold work on, and be sad no more.
