Rex glorióse mártyrum, coróna confiténtium, qui respuéntes térrea perdúcis ad cæléstia,

Aurem benígnam prótinus appóne nostris vócibus; tropæa sacra pángimus, ignósce quod delíquimus.

Tu vincis in martyribus parcéndo confessóribus; tu vince nostra crímina donándo indulgéntiam.

Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.

Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

Psalmus 43 (44)

Psalm 43 (44)

Populi calamitates

In his omnibus superamus propter eum, qui dilexit nos (Rom 8, 37).

In all these things, we are more than conquerors through the One who loved us (Romans 8:37).

Deus, áuribus nostris audívimus; † patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis * opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, in diébus antíquis.

O God, we have heard with our ears; our fathers have told us of the work that Thou hast done in their days, and in the days of old.

Tu manu tua gentes depulísti et plantásti illos, * afflixísti pópulos et dilatásti eos.

Thy hand has destroyed the nations, and thou hast set them in their place; Thou hast afflicted the peoples, and Thou hast driven them out.

Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos;

For it was not with their sword that they conquered this land, nor did their arm save them,

sed déxtera tua et bráchium tuum et illuminátio vultus tui, * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

but it is Thy right hand and Thy arm, and the light of Thy face, forasmuch as Thou lovedst them.

Tu es rex meus et Deus meus, * qui mandas salútes Iacob.

Thou art my king and my God, thou who command the salvation of Jacob.

In te inimícos nostros proiécimus * et in nómine tuo conculcávimus insurgéntes in nos.

Through Thou we will overthrow our enemies, and in Thy Name we will despise those who rise up against us.

Non enim in arcu meo sperábo, * et gládius meus non salvábit me.

For it is not in my bow that I will trust, * nor will my sword save me.

Tu autem salvásti nos de affligéntibus nos * et odiéntes nos confudísti.

But it is Thou who have saved us from those who afflicted us, and who have confounded those who hated us.

In Deo gloriábimur tota die * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sæculum.

In God we will glory all day long, and we will praise Thy Name forevermore.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

Nunc autem reppulísti et confudísti nos * et non egrediéris, Deus, cum virtútibus nostris.

But now Thou've turned us away and put us to shame, and Thou don't go out with our armies anymore, God.

Convertísti nos retrórsum coram inimícis nostris, * et, qui odérunt nos, diripuérunt sibi.

Thou madest us turn our backs on our enemies, and those who hated us plundered us.

Dedísti nos tamquam oves ad vescéndum * et in géntibus dispersísti nos.

Thou hast given us up as sheep for slaughter, and thou hast scattered us amongst the nations.

Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine lucro, * nec dítior factus es in commutatióne eórum.

Thou sold thy people at a low price, and there was no crowd in the purchase that was made of them.

Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.

Thou hast repaid us the reproach of our neighbors, and an object of insult and mockery to those around us.

Posuísti nos similitúdinem in géntibus, * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.

Thou hast given us back the fable of the nations; the people shake their heads about us.

Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me,

All day long my shame is before my eyes, and the confusion of my face covers me entirely,

a voce exprobrántis et obloquéntis, * a fácie inimíci et ultóris.

at the voice of him who reviles and reviles me, in the sight of the enemy and the persecutor.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

III

Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos,† nec oblíti sumus te; * et iníque non égimus in testaméntum tuum.

All these evils have come upon us; and yet we have not forgotten Thou, nor have we acted unjustly against Thy covenant.

Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum, * nec declinavérunt gressus nostri a via tua;

And our hearts have not withdrawn backwards; and Thou hast turned our steps away from Thy way.

sed humiliásti nos in loco vúlpium * et operuísti nos umbra mortis.

For Thou hast humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.

Si oblíti fuérimus nomen Dei nostri * et si expandérimus manus nostras ad deum aliénum,

If we have forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

nonne Deus requíret ista? * Ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.

Won't God ask for an account of it anon? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die, * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.

For it is for thy sake that we are daily given up to death, and that we are looked upon as sheep for slaughter.

Evígila, quare obdórmis, Dómine? * Exsúrge et ne repéllas in finem.

Arise; wherefore do Thou sleep, Lord? Arise, and do not put us away forevermore.

Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ et tribulatiónis nostræ?

Wherefore do Thou turn away Thy face? Wherefore do Thou forget our misery and tribulation?

Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra, * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.

For our soul is humbled in the dust, and our bosom is as it were clinging unto the earth.

Exsúrge, Dómine, ádiuva nos * et rédime nos propter misericórdiam tuam.

Arise, Lord; help us, and redeem us by Thy mercy.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános

Debémus nos firmióres imbecillitátes infirmórum sustinére, et non nobis placére. Unusquísque nostrum próximo pláceat in bonum ad ædificatiónem; étenim Christus non sibi plácuit, sed sicut scriptum est: Impropéria improperántium tibi cecidérunt super me. Quæcúmque enim ántea scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrínam scripta sunt, ut per patiéntiam et consolatiónem Scripturárum spem habeámus.

Deus autem patiéntiæ et solácii det vobis idípsum sápere in altérutrum secúndum Christum Iesum, ut unánimes uno ore glorificétis Deum et Patrem Dómini nostri Iesu Christi. Propter quod suscípite ínvicem, sicut et Christus suscépit vos, in glóriam Dei.

Dico enim Christum minístrum fuísse circumcisiónis propter veritátem Dei ad confirmándas promissiónes patrum, gentes autem propter misericórdiam glorificáre Deum, sicut scriptum est: Propter hoc confitébor tibi in géntibus, et nómini tuo cantábo. Et íterum dicit: Lætámini, gentes, cum plebe eius. Et íterum: Laudáte, omnes gentes, Dóminum, et magníficent eum omnes pópuli. Et rursus Isaías ait: Erit radix Iesse, et qui exsúrget régere gentes: in eo gentes sperábunt. Deus autem spei répleat vos omni gáudio et pace in credéndo, ut abundétis in spe in virtúte Spíritus Sancti.

r. Dómine Deus, propítius esto pópulo tuo, * Et convérte tribulatiónem nostram in gáudium. v. Adiuva nos, Deus salutáris noster; propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos. * Et convérte. v. Glória Patri. * Et convérte.

In secundo nocturno, anno I

Ex História martýrii sanctórum Pauli Miki eiúsque sociórum ab auctóre covo conscrípta. (Acta sanctorum, Febr. Tom 1, 761, cap. 14, 109-110)

Paulus Miki, frater noster, videns se consístere in suggéstu ómnium, quos umquam habúerat, honoratíssimo, primum circumstántibus apéruit se Iapónium et de Societáte Iesu esse, moríque propter annuntiátum Evangélium, et grátias Deo ob benefícium tam exímium ágere, deínde hæc verba subiécit: " Cum ad hoc témporis punctum pervénerim, e vobis néminem esse opínor, qui me credat velle párcere veritáti. Decláro ítaque vobis nullam esse ad salútem viam, nisi quam tenent christiáni. Quæ cum dóceat me ignóscere inimícis, et ómnibus qui me offendérunt, ego libénter regi omnibúsque meæ mortis auctóribus ignósco, eósque rogo ut christiáno baptísmo initiári velint. "

Hinc, óculis in sócios convérsis, cœpit eos in hoc extrémo conflíctu animáre: in quorum ómnium vúltibus lætítia quædam apparébat, sed in Ludovíco singuláris; cui cum álius quidam christiánus acclamáret brevi eum futúrum in paradíso, digitórum totiúsque córporis gestu gáudii pleno, ómnium in se spectántium óculos convértit. Antónius qui Ludovíci claudébat latus, óculis cælo infíxis, post invocátum sanctíssimum nomen Iesu et Maríæ occínuit psalmum Laudáte púeri Dóminum quem didícerat Nagasáki in institutióne catechéseos; in ea enim dédita ópera púeris quidam psalmi hanc in rem ediscéndi tradúntur.

Alii dénique repetébant: " Iesu, María ", seréna fácie; nonnúlli étiam exhortabántur circumstántes ad vitam christiáno dignam; hisque et áliis simílibus actiónibus promptitúdinem moriéndi demonstrábant. Tum carnífices quáttuor cœpére vagínis (quæ Iapóniis usitátæ sunt) exímere lánceas, ad quarum horríficum conspéctum omnes fidéles acclamárunt: " Iesu, María " et, quod plus, est complorátio secúta miserábilis ipsos fériens cælos. Carnífices quemque eórum uno alteróque ictu, brevíssimo témpore, exanimárunt.

r. Tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit eléctos Dóminus, et quasi holocáusti hóstiam accépit illos; et in témpore erit respéctus illórum, * Quóniam donum et pax est eléctis Dei. v. Qui confídunt in illo intéllegent veritátem, et fidéles in dilectióne acquiéscent illi; * Quóniam. v. Glória Patri. * Quóniam.

Orémus.

Deus, ómnium fortitúdo sanctórum, qui beátos mártyres Paulum eiúsque sócios per crucem ad vitam vocáre dignátus es, † præsta, quǽsumus, ut, eórum intercessióne, * fidem quam profitémur usque ad mortem fórtiter teneámus. Per Dóminum.

God, strength of all saints, who deigned to call the blessed martyrs Paul and his companions to life through the cross, grant us, we pray thou, through their intercession, to be able to firmly profess the faith unto death.
