Hymnus
Dulci deprómat cármine devóta plebs sollémnia, dum in cælórum cúlmine hæc virgo micat glória.
Virgo, quæ Christi láudibus vacávit iam viríliter, sanctórum nunc agmínibus coniúngitur felíciter.
Vicit per pudicítiam infírmæ carnis vítium; sprevit mundi blandítiam Christi sequens vestígium.
Per hanc nos, Christe, dírige servans a cunctis hóstibus; culpárum lapsus córrige nos ímbuens virtútibus.
Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui natus es de Vírgine, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sæcula. Amen.
Jesus, to Thee be glory given, Whom erst the Virgin-Mother bore, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Through endless ages evermore.

Peccatóri autem dixit Deus: † «Quare tu enárras præcépta mea * et assúmis testaméntum meum in os tuum?
But God said unto the sinner, Wherefore do thou list My statutes, and wherefore do thou hast My covenant constantly in thy mouth?
Tu vero odísti disciplínam * et proiecísti sermónes meos retrórsum.
Thou who hate discipline, and who have cast My words behind thou.
Si vidébas furem, currébas cum eo; * et cum adúlteris erat pórtio tua.
If thou sawest a thief, thou ranst with him, and thou put thy share with the adulterers.
Os tuum dimittébas ad malítiam, * et língua tua concinnábat dolos.
Thy mouth was filled with malice, and thy tongue plotted fraud.
Sedens advérsus fratrem tuum loquebáris * et advérsus fílium matris tuæ proferébas oppróbrium.
Thou wouldst sit down to speak against thy brother, and thou wouldst set traps against thy mother's son.
Hæc fecísti, et tácui. † Existimásti quod eram tui símilis. * Arguam te et státuam illa contra fáciem tuam.
This is what thou didst, and I was silent. Thou ungodly believed that I would be like thou. I will rebuke thou, and I will put everything before thy eyes.
Intellégite hæc, qui obliviscímini Deum, * nequándo rápiam, et non sit qui erípiat.
Understand these things, thou who forget God; lest He tear apart, and no one can deliver.
Qui immolábit sacrifícium laudis, honorificábit me, † et, qui immaculátus est in via, * osténdam illi salutáre Dei».

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Ephésios
Fratres: Obsecro vos ego vinctus in Dómino, ut digne ambulétis vocatióne, qua vocáti estis, cum omni humilitáte et mansuetúdine, cum longanimitáte, supportántes ínvicem in caritáte, sollíciti serváre unitátem spíritus in vínculo pacis; unum corpus et unus Spíritus, sicut et vocáti estis in una spe vocatiónis vestræ; unus Dóminus, una fides, unum baptísma; unus Deus et Pater ómnium, qui super omnes et per ómnia et in ómnibus.
Unicuíque autem nostrum data est grátia secúndum mensúram donatiónis Christi. Propter quod dicit: Ascéndens in altum captívam duxit captivitátem, dedit dona homínibus.
Illud autem "ascéndit" quid est, nisi quia et descéndit in inferióres partes terræ? Qui descéndit, ipse est et qui ascéndit super omnes cælos, ut impléret ómnia.
r. Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam, et clamor meus ad te véniat; * Quia non spernis, Deus, preces páuperum. v. De profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine; Dómine exáudi vocem meam. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi (Sermo 123: PL 39, 1991)
Facta est María fenéstra cæli, quia per ipsam Deus verum fudit sæculis lumen. Facta est María scala cæléstis, quia per ipsam Deus descéndit ad terras, ut per ipsam hómines ascéndere mereréntur ad cælos; ipsis enim licébit ascéndere illuc, qui Deum credíderint ad terras per Vírginem Maríam descendísse. Facta est María restaurátio feminárum, quia per ipsam a ruína primæ maledictiónis probántur esse subtráctæ.
Tria dénique mala Evæ a tribus bonis Maríæ probántur exclúsa. Nam Evæ dictum est: In dolóribus et in tristítia páries; et ad virum convérsio tua, et ipse dominábitur tui. Tribus ergo his malis se súbiugant féminæ quæ Maríam non sequúntur, dolóri, tristítiæ, servitúti. María autem e contrário quam præclaríssimis tribus bonis sublimétur auscúlta, salutatiónis angélicæ, benedictiónis divínæ, et plenitúdinis grátiæ.
Sic enim eam légitur ángelus salutásse: Ave, María, grátia plena, benedícta tu inter mulíeres. Cum dicit: Ave, salutatiónem illi cæléstem exhíbuit; cum dixit: Grátia plena, osténdit ex íntegro iram exclúsam primæ senténtiæ, et plenam benedictiónis grátiam restitútam; cum dixit: Benedícta tu inter mulíeres, virginitátis eius benedíctum fructum expréssit; ut ex eo benedícta dicátur inter mulíeres, quæcúmque perseveráverit virgo. Benedícta tu inter mulíeres, maledícta enim Eva fúerat, quam nunc crédimus per Maríam ad benedictiónis glóriam remeásse.
r. Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine, * Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei. v. Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt, et ego sicut fœnum árui; * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.
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.
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.
