Oportet illum regnare, donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus eius (1 Cor 15, 25).

Christus primogenitus omnis creaturæ et primogenitus ex mortuis

Grátias agámus Deo Patri, * qui idóneos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctórum in lúmine;

Let us give thanks to God the Father, who has given us a share in the inheritance of the saints, in the light;

qui erípuit nos de potestáte tenebrárum * et tránstulit in regnum Fílii dilectiónis suæ,

Snatching us from the power of darkness, He hath placed us in the Kingdom of His beloved Son,

in quo habémus redemptiónem, * remissiónem peccatórum;

in Him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins;

qui est imágo Dei invisíbilis, * primogénitus omnis creatúræ,

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn, before any creature.

quia in ipso cóndita sunt univérsa † in cælis et in terra, * visibília et invisibília,

in Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible beings,

sive throni sive dominatiónes * sive principátus sive potestátes.

Et ipse est caput córporis Ecclésiæ; † qui est princípium, primogénitus ex mórtuis, * ut sit in ómnibus ipse primátum tenens,

He is also the head of the body, the head of the Church: he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he may have primacy in all things.

Lectio brevis (1 Io 1, 1-3)

Quod fuit ab inítio, quod audívimus, quod vídimus óculis nostris, quod perspéximus et manus nostræ contrectavérunt, de verbo vitæ et vita appáruit, et vídimus et testámur et annuntiámus vobis vitam ætérnam, quæ erat coram Patre et appáruit nobis quod vídimus et audívimus, annuntiámus et vobis, ut et vos communiónem habeátis nobíscum. Commúnio autem nostra est cum Patre et cum Fílio eius Iesu Christo.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life: For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us: That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
