Hymnus
Iesu, redémptor ómnium, perpes coróna cǽlitum, in hac die cleméntius nostris favéto vócibus,
Sacri tui qua nóminis conféssor almus cláruit, cuius célebrat ánnua devóta plebs sollémnia.
Per illa quæ sunt sǽculi gressu seréno tránsiit, tibi fidélis iúgiter iter salútis pérsequens.
At rite mundi gáudiis non cor cadúcis ápplicans, cum ángelis cæléstibus lætus potítur prǽmiis.
Huius benígnus ánnue nobis sequi vestígia; huius precátu sérvulis dimítte noxam críminis.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Audíte hæc, omnes gentes, * áuribus percípite, omnes, qui habitátis orbem:
Hearken unto this, all of thee, O nations, give ear, all thou inhabitants of the world,
quique húmiles et viri nóbiles, * simul in unum dives et pauper!
whether thou art of humble or noble condition, rich and poor together.
Os meum loquétur sapiéntiam * et meditátio cordis mei prudéntiam.
My mouth utters wisdom, and my heart meditates thoughts of prudence.
Inclinábo in parábolam aurem meam, * apériam in psaltério ænígma meum.
I lend an ear unto the parables that God inspires in me, I explain my enigma unto the sound of the psalterion.
Cur timébo in diébus malis, * cum iníquitas supplantántium circúmdabit me?
Wherefore should I fear in the days of misfortune, when the iniquity of my persecutors besieges me?
Qui confídunt in virtúte sua * et in multitúdine divitiárum suárum gloriántur.
They who put their trust in their possessions, their glory in their great riches.
Etenim seípsum non rédimet homo; * non dabit Deo propitiatiónem suam.
A man cannot redeem his brother, nor can he pay God his ransom.
Nímium est prétium redemptiónis ánimæ eius: † ad últimum defíciet, * ut vivat usque in finem, nec vídeat intéritum.
The ransom of their lives is too dear: it is forevermore impossible, for him to live forevermore, and never to behold the pit.
Et vidébit sapiéntes moriéntes; † simul insípiens et stultus períbunt * et relínquent aliénis divítias suas.
And he shall behold that the wise die; the foolish and the stupid also perish, leaving others their possessions.
Sepúlcra eórum domus illórum in ætérnum; † tabernácula eórum in progéniem et progéniem, * etsi vocavérunt nomínibus suis terras suas.
They imagine that their houses will be eternal; that their tents shall subsist from age to age, and they give their names to their lands.
Et homo, cum sit in honóre, non permanébit; † comparátus est iuméntis, quæ péreunt, * et símilis factus est illis.
And man, even if he is honored, does not last; just as beasts of burden perish, he is like them.
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.

Hæc via illórum, quorum fidúcia in semetípsis, * et finis eórum, qui cómplacent in ore suo.
Such is their fate, to these men who are so confident, and to those who follow them in approving their speeches.
Sicut oves in inférno pósiti sunt, * mors depáscet eos;
Like a flock, they are driven into hell, it is death that guides them;
descéndent præcípites ad sepúlcrum, † et figúra eórum erit in consumptiónem: * inférnus habitáculum eórum.
they descend directly unto the sepulchre, and their shadow will be consumed, hell is their dwelling.
Verúmtamen Deus rédimet ánimam meam, * de manu ínferi vere suscípiet me.
But God will redeem my soul, for He shall take me out of the grip of hell.
Ne timúeris, cum dives factus fúerit homo * et cum multiplicáta fúerit glória domus eius,
Fear not, wherefore, when a man grows rich, when the opulence of his house increases.
quóniam, cum interíerit, non sumet ómnia, * neque descéndet cum eo glória eius.
For when he falleth, he shall take naught with him, and his glory will not come down with him.
Cum ánimæ suæ in vita ipsíus benedíxerit: * «Laudábunt te quod benefecísti tibi»,
For during his life, his soul will be blessed: "he shall praise Thou for having done him good",
tamen introíbit ad progéniem patrum suórum, * qui in ætérnum non vidébunt lumen.
He shall enter even amongst the generations of his fathers, amongst those who will not behold the light for eternity.
Homo, cum in honóre esset, non intelléxit; † comparátus est iuméntis, quæ péreunt, * et símilis factus est illis.
Man, although exalted in honor, has not understood; he hath been compared to beasts of burden, and he hath become like them.

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

Lectio brevis (Rom 8, 28-30)
Scimus quóniam diligéntibus Deum ómnia cooperántur in bonum, his, qui secúndum propósitum vocáti sunt. Nam, quos præscívit, et prædestinávit confórmes fíeri imáginis Fílii eius, ut sit ipse primogénitus in multis frátribus; quos autem prædestinávit, hos et vocávit; et quos vocávit, hos et iustificávit; quos autem iustificávit, illos et glorificávit.
And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren. And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Responsorium breve

quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, * et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies * timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo, * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede * et exaltávit húmiles;
esuriéntes implévit bonis * et dívites dimísit inánes.
