Lectio brevis (Rom 5, 1-2. 5)
Iustificáti ex fide, pacem habémus ad Deum per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, per quem et accéssum habémus fide in grátiam istam, in qua stamus et gloriámur in spe glóriæ Dei. Spes autem non confúndit, quia cáritas Dei diffúsa est in córdibus nostris per Spíritum Sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God.
v. Misericórdias Dómini in ætérnum cantábo. r. In generatiónem et generatiónem annuntiábo veritátem tuam.
