O Christ, the life of the Saints: the way and hope of salvation, the giver of uprightness and author of peace, to you with voice and mind we sing a hymn.
Cuius est virtus manifésta totum quod pii possunt, quod habent, quod ore, corde vel factis cúpiunt, amóris igne flagrántes.

Quam bonus rectis est Deus, * Deus his, qui mundo sunt corde!
How good God is to those who are pure in heart!
Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes, * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei,
My feet were almost shaken, my steps almost reversed,
quia zelávi super gloriántes, * pacem peccatórum videns.
forasmuch as I have envied the wicked, when I behold the peace of sinners.
Quia non sunt eis impediménta, * sanus et pinguis est venter eórum.
For death seems to forget them, and their wounds do not last.
In labóre mortálium non sunt * et cum homínibus non flagellántur.
They have no share in the labor of mortals, and they are not smitten like other men.
Ídeo quasi torques est eis supérbia, * et tamquam induméntum opéruit eos violéntia.
Wherefore pride has seized them; they are covered with their iniquity and ungodliness.
Prodit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum, * erúmpunt cogitatiónes cordis.
Iniquity comes out as from their fat; they have abandoned themselves unto the passions of their hearts.
Subsannavérunt et locúti sunt nequítiam, * iniquitátem ab excélso locúti sunt.
Their thoughts and words have been naught but malice; they have uttered iniquity loudly.
Posuérunt in cælo os suum, * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
They opened their mouths against Heaven, and their tongues roamed the earth.
Ídeo in alto sedent, * et aquæ plenæ non pervénient ad eos.
Et dixérunt: “Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in Excélso?”
And they said, How does God know? * And does the Most High know about it?
Ecce ipsi peccatóres et abundántes in sǽculo * multiplicavérunt divítias.
Behold at those sinners who abound in everything in this world: they have acquired new riches.

Et dixi: “Ergo sine causa mundávi cor meum * et lavi in innocéntia manus meas;
And I said, In vain did I purify my heart, and washed my hands amongst the innocent,
et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.”
since I have been afflicted all day, and chastened in the morning.
Si dixíssem: “Lóquar ut illi”, * ecce generatiónem filiórum tuórum prodidíssem.
If I had said, "I will speak in this sense," I would have condemned the race of Thy children.
Et cogitábam, ut cognóscerem hoc; * labor erat in óculis meis,
I thought of penetrating this secret; the difficulty was great before me,
donec intrávi in sanctuárium Dei * et intelléxi novíssima eórum.
until such time as such time as I had entered the sanctuary of God, and understood what their end would be.
Verúmtamen in lúbrico posuísti eos, * deiecísti eos in ruínas.
Verily, these are snares that Thou hast set before them; Thou overthrew them just as they were rising.
Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem! * Súbito defecérunt, periérunt præ horróre.
How did they fall into desolation? They disappeared suddenly; they have perished forasmuch as of their iniquity.
Velut sómnium evigilántis, Dómine, * surgens imáginem ipsórum contémnes.
Like the dream of those who awaken, O Lord, Thou shalt reduce their image to naught in Thy city.

For what is there for me in Heaven? and what have I desired from Thou on earth?

My flesh and my heart have failed, O God, who is the God of my heart, and my portion for eternity.
Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt; * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
For behold, those who depart from thee will perish; Thou hast resolved to destroy all those who prostitute themselves by distancing themselves from Thou.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános
Fratres: Dico per grátiam, quæ data est mihi, ómnibus, qui sunt inter vos, non áltius sápere quam opórtet sápere, sed sápere ad sobrietátem, unicuíque sicut Deus divísit mensúram fídei. Sicut enim in uno córpore multa membra habémus, ómnia autem membra non eúndem actum habent, ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo, sínguli autem alter altérius membra. Habéntes autem donatiónes secúndum grátiam, quæ data est nobis, differéntes: sive prophetíam, secúndum ratiónem fídei; sive ministérium, in ministrándo; sive qui docet, in doctrína; sive qui exhortátur, in exhortándo; qui tríbuit, in simplicitáte; qui præest, in sollicitúdine; qui miserétur, in hilaritáte.
Diléctio sine simulatióne. Odiéntes malum, adhæréntes bono; caritáte fraternitátis ínvicem diligéntes, honóre ínvicem præveniéntes, sollicitúdine non pigri, spíritu fervéntes, Dómino serviéntes, spe gaudéntes, in tribulatióne patiéntes, oratióni instántes, necessitátibus sanctórum communicántes, hospitalitátem sectántes. Benedícite persequéntibus; benedícite et nolíte maledícere! Gaudére cum gaudéntibus, flere cum fléntibus. Idípsum ínvicem sentiéntes, non alta sapiéntes, sed humílibus consentiéntes. Nolíte esse prudéntes apud vosmetípsos.
Nulli malum pro malo reddéntes; providéntes bona coram ómnibus homínibus; si fíeri potest, quod ex vobis est, cum ómnibus homínibus pacem habéntes; non vosmetípsos vindicántes, caríssimi, sed date locum iræ, scriptum est enim: Mihi vindícta, ego retríbuam, dicit Dóminus. Sed si esuríerit inimícus tuus, ciba illum; si sitit, potum da illi. Hoc enim fáciens, carbónes ignis cóngeres super caput eius. Noli vinci a malo, sed vince in bono malum.
r. Auribus pércipe, Dómine, lácrimas meas; ne síleas a me, remítte mihi, * Quóniam íncola ego sum apud te et peregrínus. v. Dixi: Custódiam vias meas, ut non delínquam in lingua mea. * Quóniam. v. Glória Patri. * Quóniam.

Ex Epístulis sancti Ambrósii epíscopi (Ep. 29: PL 16, 1058)
Anima nostra quæ vult Deo appropinquáre, élevet se a córpore, semper illi summo adhreat, illi bono quod est divínum, quod est semper, et quod erat ab inítio, et quod erat apud Deum, hoc est Dei Verbum. Ipsum est illud divínum in quo vívimus et sumus et movémur. Ipsum est quod erat in princípio, ipsum est quod est: Dei enim Fílius Iesus Christus in vobis, inquit, est: in quo non fuit Est et Non, sed Est in illo fuit. Ipse dixit Móysi ut díceret: Qui est, misit me.
Cum hoc ígitur ánima nostra sit, et sit, si fíeri potest, semper; ut et nostrum possit quis dícere: Anima mea in mánibus meis semper. Erit autem, si non in carne sit, sed in Spíritu: erit, si se terrénis non mísceat. Cum enim ad carnália refléctitur, tunc ei illécebra obrépit córporis, tunc ira et indignatióne exæstuat, tunc mæstítia affícitur, tunc supinátur per arrogántiam, tunc dolóre afflígitur.
Hæ sunt ægritúdines ánimæ graves, quibus plerúmque ad mortem cógitur; dum óculi eius cæcántur, ut non vídeant veræ lumen glóriæ, et divítias ætérnæ hereditátis. Quod si eos ad Deum semper inténdat, accípiet a Christo fulgórem sapiéntiæ; ut illuminátum in agnitióne Dei hábeat obtútum, vídeat illam spem nostræ vocatiónis, aspíciat illud quod est bonum, et plácitum et perféctum. Quod enim bonum, complácitum Patri: quod complácitum, perféctum; sicut habes in evangélio, ubi dicit Dóminus: Dilígite inimícos vestros, ut imitémini Patrem, qui pluit super iustos et iniústos; quod est útique bonitátis. Et póstea conclúdit, dicens: Estóte perfécti, sicut Pater vester, qui in cælis est, perféctus est. Cáritas enim perfécta est: dénique plenitúdo Legis est. Quid autem tam bonum quam cáritas, quæ malum non cógitat?
r. Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi; * Virga æquitátis virga regni tui. v. Dilexísti iustítiam et odísti iniquitátem, proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus. * Virga. v. Glória Patri. * Virga.
 
Orémus.
Concéde nobis, Dómine Deus noster, † ut te tota mente venerémur, * et omnes hómines rationábili diligámus afféctu. Per Dóminum.
Grant us, Lord our God, to adore Thee with all our souls, and to love all men with true charity.
