Hymnus
Ætérne sol, qui lúmine creáta comples ómnia, supréma lux et méntium, te corda nostra cóncinunt.
Tuo fovénte Spíritu, hic viva luminária fulsére, per quæ sæculis patent salútis sémitæ.

De libro Deuteronómii 10, 12-11, 9. 26-28
Deus solus eligendus
In diébus illis: Locútus est Móyses pópulo dicens:
«Et nunc, Israel, quid Dóminus Deus tuus petit a te, nisi ut tímeas Dóminum Deum tuum et ámbules in viis eius et díligas eum ac sérvias Dómino Deo tuo in toto corde tuo et in tota ánima tua custodiásque mandáta Dómini et præcépta eius, quæ ego hódie præcípio, ut bene sit tibi? En Dómini Dei tui cælum est et cælum cæli, terra et ómnia, quæ in ea sunt; et tamen pátribus tuis conglutinátus est Dóminus et amávit eos elegítque semen eórum post eos, id est vos, de cunctis géntibus, sicut hódie comprobátur.
Circumcídite ígitur præpútium cordis vestri et cervícem vestram, ne indurétis ámplius, quia Dóminus Deus vester ipse est Deus deórum et Dóminus dominántium, Deus magnus, potens et terríbilis, qui persónam non áccipit, nec múnera, facit iudícium pupíllo et víduæ, amat peregrínum et dat ei victum atque vestítum. Et vos ergo amáte peregrínos, quia et ipsi fuístis ádvenæ in terra Ægypti. Dóminum Deum tuum timébis et ei sérvies, ipsi adhærébis iurabísque in nómine illíus. Ipse est laus tua et Deus tuus, qui fecit tibi hæc magnália et terribília, quæ vidérunt óculi tui. In septuagínta animábus descendérunt patres tui in Ægyptum; et ecce nunc multiplicávit te Dóminus Deus tuus sicut astra cæli.
Ama ítaque Dóminum Deum tuum et custódi observatiónem eius et præcépta, iudícia atque mandáta omni témpore.
Cognóscite hódie, quæ ignórant fílii vestri, qui non vidérunt disciplínam Dómini Dei vestri, magnália eius et robústam manum extentúmque bráchium, signa et ópera, quæ fecit in médio Ægypti pharaóni regi et univérsæ terræ eius omníque exercítui Ægyptiórum et equis ac cúrribus; quómodo operúerint eos aquæ maris Rubri, cum vos persequeréntur, et deléverit eos Dóminus usque in præséntem diem; vobísque, quæ fécerit in solitúdine, donec venirétis ad hunc locum; et Dathan atque Abíron fíliis Eliab, qui fuit fílius Ruben, quos apérto ore suo terra absórbuit cum dómibus et tabernáculis et univérsa substántia eórum, quam habébant in médio Israel.
Oculi vestri vidérunt ómnia ópera Domini magna, quæ fecit, ut custodiátis univérsa mandáta, quæ ego hódie præcípio vobis, ut roborémini et possítis introíre et possidére terram, ad quam ingredímini, multóque in ea vivátis témpore, quam sub iuraménto pollícitus est Dóminus pátribus vestris et sémini eórum, lacte et melle manántem.
En propóno in conspéctu vestro hódie benedictiónem et maledictiónem: benedictiónem, si oboediéritis mandátis Dómini Dei vestri, quæ ego hódie præcípio vobis; maledictiónem, si non oboediéritis mandátis Dómini Dei vestri, sed recesséritis de via, quam ego nunc osténdo vobis, et ambulavéritis post deos aliénos, quos ignorátis».

v. Qui servat verbum eius, vere in hoc cáritas Dei consummáta est. * Et mandáta.
Ex Capítibus Diádochi Photicénsis epíscopi De perfectióne spiritáli
(Cap. 12. 13. 14: PG 65, 1171-1172)
Solum Deum oportet amare
Qui se díligit, Deum amáre non potest; qui vero se non díligit propter excellentióres divítias amóris in Deum, hic Deum amat. Ex quo fit, ut hic neque, suam umquam glóriam quærat, sed pótius glóriam Dei. Qui enim se díligit, glóriam suam quærit; qui autem Deum díligit, glóriam auctóris sui amat.
Est enim ánimæ sentiéntis, ac Deum amántis próprium, glóriam quidem Dei semper quærere, in ómnibus mandátis quæ facit, sua vero submissióne delectári, quod Deum quidem propter eius magnificéntiam déceat glória, hóminem vero submíssio, ut per eam familiáres Deo efficiámur; quod cum et nos fecérimus lætántes glória Dómini, exémplo Ioánnis Baptístæ, incipiémus dícere sine intermissióne ulla: Illum opórtet créscere, nos autem mínui.
Novi ego quendam, qui tamétsi lugéret, quod non, ut vellet, Deum amáret, tamen ita Deum amábat, ut eius ánima huiúsmodi desidério veheménti continénter tenerétur, ita ut Deus quidem glória afficerétur in eo, ipse vero esset quasi nihil. Qui talis est, neque cum verbis laudátur, sed agnóscit quid sit; síquidem præ nímio humilitátis desidério dignitátem suam non cógitat, cum alióqui minístret quidem Deo, ut lex præscríbit sacerdótibus, ob stúdium tamen diligéndi Deum obrépit ei oblívio dignitátis suæ occultántis in profúnda erga Deum caritáte per spíritum humilitátis gloriatiónem de dignitáte sua, ut iam sibi cogitatióne sua inútilis quidam puer omni témpore videátur, quasi a dignitáte sua aliénus, præ humilitátis desidério: quod quidem et nos fácere opórtet, et omnem honórem atque glóriam fúgere, propter excelléntes divítias amóris erga Deum, qui vere nos amávit.
Qui in sensu cordis Deum amat, hic est ab eo cógnitus; quantam enim quis Dei caritátem in sensu ánimæ capit, tanta eum amat. Quocírca qui sic est, illuminatiónem cognitiónis veheménter amat, quoúsque ipsum sensum óssium séntiat, factus iam sui nésciens, immo totus a caritáte immutátus.
Qui talis vero est, adest ille quidem, et non adest in vita; adhuc enim in córpore suo versans, peregrinátur propter caritátem perpétua quadam ánimæ ad Deum profectióne; incénso enim deínceps corde veheménter caritátis igne, ut quadam desidérii fácula agglutinátus est Deo, tamquam totus extra amicítiam sui pósitus, propter caritátem Dei, sive enim, inquit (Apóstolus), excédimus, Deo, sive sóbrii sumus, vobis.
Responsorium Io 3, 16; 1 Io 4, 10a. 19b
v. In hoc est cáritas, non quasi nos dilexérimus Deum, sed quóniam ipse prior diléxit nos. * Ut omnis.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Deus, qui ad animárum salútem beátum Francíscum epíscopum ómnibus ómnia factum esse voluísti, † concéde propítius, ut, eius exémplo, * tuæ mansuetúdinem caritátis in fratrum servítio semper ostendámus. Per Dóminum.
God, who willed that Blessed Francis, the bishop, should become all things to all for the salvation of souls, grant us, in thy goodness, that following his example, we may evermore manifest the sweetness of thy charity in the service of our brethren and sisters.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
