Sontes Adámi pósteri infécta proles gígnimur; labis patérnæ néscia tu sola, Virgo, créderis.

We Adam’s guilty children are, A sin-infected progeny, Thou art, O Virgin, we believe, Alone from his infection free.

Caput dracónis ínvidi tu cónteris vestígio, gerísque sola glóriam intaminátæ oríginis.

The envious dragon’s cruel head Thou with thy heel dost trample down, And of a stainless origin Thou only dost the glory own.

Nostræ decus propáginis, quæ tollis Evæ oppróbrium, tu nos tuére súpplices, tu nos labántes érige.

Serpéntis antíqui potens astus retúnde et ímpetus, ut cælitum perénnibus per te fruámur gáudiis.

From the old serpent’s wiles and force, Thy clients mightily defend, That, through thy mercy, they may win Those heavenly joys which never end.

Patri sit et Paráclito tuóque Nato glória, qui sanctitátis únicæ te munerárunt grátia. Amen.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános

Fratres, comméndat suam caritátem Deus in nos, quóniam, cum adhuc peccatóres essémus, Christus pro nobis mórtuus est. Multo ígitur magis iustificáti nunc in sánguine ipsíus, salvi érimus ab ira per ipsum! Si enim cum inimíci essémus reconciliáti sumus Deo per mortem Fílii eius, multo magis reconciliáti salvi érimus in vita ipsíus; non solum autem, sed et gloriámur in Deo per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, per quem nunc reconciliatiónem accépimus.

Proptérea, sicut per unum hóminem peccátum in hunc mundum intrávit et per peccátum mors, et ita in omnes hómines mors pertránsiit, eo quod omnes peccavérunt. Usque ad legem enim peccátum erat in mundo; peccátum autem non imputátur, cum lex non est, sed regnávit mors ab Adam usque ad Móysen étiam in eos, qui non peccavérunt in similitúdine prævaricatiónis Adæ, qui est figúra futúri.

Sed non sicut delíctum, ita et donum; si enim uníus delícto multi mórtui sunt, multo magis grátia Dei et donum in grátia uníus hóminis Iesu Christi in multos abundávit. Et non sicut per unum, qui peccávit, ita et donum; nam iudícium ex uno in condemnatiónem, grátia autem ex multis delíctis in iustificatiónem. Si enim uníus delicto mors regnávit per unum, multo magis, qui abundántiam grátiæ et donatiónis iustítiæ accípiunt, in vita regnábunt per unum Iesum Christum.

Igitur sicut per uníus delíctum in omnes hómines in condemnatiónem, sic et per uníus iustítiam in omnes hómines in iustificatiónem vitæ; sicut enim per inobœdiéntiam uníus hóminis peccatóres constitúti sunt multi, ita et per uníus obœditiónem iusti constituéntur multi. Lex autem subintrávit, ut abundáret delíctum; ubi autem abundávit peccátum, superabundávit grátia, ut sicut regnávit peccátum in morte, ita et grátia regnet per iustítiam in vitam ætérnam per Iesum Christum Dóminum nostrum.

r. Elécta mea cándida sicut nix in Líbano; sicut favus distíllans lábia eius, * Mel et lac sub lingua illíus. v. Veni de Líbano, sponsa mea, veni, coronáberis coróna gratiárum. * Mel. v. Glória Patri. * Mel.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Sermónibus sancti Fulbérti Carnoténsis epíscopi (Rech. Théol. Anc. et Méd. 30, 1963, 70-71.72)

Hæc est beáta Virgo María, angelórum atque hóminum laude digníssima, Mater Christi prophetáli vaticínio præconáta, angélico ore salutáta, virtúte Spíritus Sancti obumbráta, Redemptórem cæli et terræ mirabíliter ac indicibíliter eníxa. Hæc est Virgo venerábilis, multúmque laudábilis, scala facta cæléstis, per quam conscéndere queant fidéles de conválle lacrimárum ad vidéndum Deum deórum, in domo æternitátis felicitátis.

Hæc est dénique Virgo vírginum, quæ miro necnon ineffábili modo suum páriens Salvatórem et ómnium, virgo éxstitit ante partum, virgo in partu, virgo post partum. Hæc est quæ primam maledictiónem Evæ humáno géneri ábstulit et, generándo legislatórem, antíquam captivitátem, ipsíus benedictióne, paradíso restítuit. Hæc est gloriósa Virgo, quæ de intemeráto úteri cellário cæléstem prótulit panem mundo, ac deínceps virgo pérmanens, mínime cáruit castitátis sigíllo. Quæ, ut ait quidam, ventre beáto gáudia matris habens cum virginitátis honóre, nec primam símilem visa est, nec habére sequéntem.

Hæc est, quæ génuit solem iustítiæ, largitórem ætérnæ vitæ, Dóminum vidélicet Iesum Christum, reparatórem hóminum, gáudium angelórum, splendórem prophetárum ac patriarchárum, ornaméntum apostolórum, corónam mártyrum, gemmam confessórum, pulchritúdinem vírginum, firmaméntum iustórum, spem peccatórum, fontem ætérnæ vitæ sitiéntium, salútem ómnium in se fidéliter credéntium.

Ave, beáta Virgo María, grátia plena, inter mulíeres benedícta, virginitátis studens in terris. Implóra nobis thálamum aulæ cæléstis, ab ipso quem de tuo útero protulísti, auctórem virginitátis. Virgo sancta, Virgo gloriósa, Mater Dómini simul et sponsa, non dedignéris opem ferre illis quas vides amore cæléstis sponsi flagráre, atque eius núptias sitibúndo corde, cum virginitátis voto, desideráre. Miserére quoque ómnium te pio afféctu venerántium, et ímpetra ómnium véniam peccatórum, quibus generáre promeruísti ipsum fontem misericórdiæ, in quo lavántur ómnia contágia delictórum.

r. Nihil inquinátum in eam incúrrit: * Candor est lucis ætérnæ et spéculum sine mácula. v. Est enim hæc speciósior sole, et luci comparáta invenítur púrior. * Candor. v. Glória Patri. * Candor.

Orémus.

Deus, qui per immaculátam Vírginis Conceptiónem dignum Fílio tuo habitáculum præparásti, †quǽsumus, ut, qui ex morte eiúsdem Fílii tui prævísa, eam ab omni labe præservásti, nos quoque mundos, eius intercessióne, ad te perveníre concédas. Per Dóminum.

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary prepared for Thy Son a dwelling worthy of Him, we beseech Thee, through the intercession of her whom Thou preserved from every task in consideration of Thy Son's death, grant that we too, purified, may reach Thee.
