Hymnus
Vexílla regis pródeunt, fulget crucis mystérium, quo carne carnis cónditor suspénsus est patíbulo;
Quo, vulnerátus ínsuper mucróne diro lánceæ, ut nos laváret crímine, manávit unda et sánguine.

Salve, ara, salve, víctima, de passiónis glória, qua Vita mortem pértulit et morte vitam réddidit!
O crux, ave, spes única! hoc passiónis témpore, piis adáuge grátiam reísque dele crímina.

Lectio brevis (Act 13, 26-30a)
Viri fratres, nobis verbum salútis huius missum est. Qui habitábant Ierúsalem et príncipes eórum, Iesum ignorántes et voces Prophetárum, quæ per omne sábbatum legúntur, iudicántes implevérunt, et nullam causam mortis inveniéntes petiérunt a Piláto, ut interficerétur; cumque consummássent ómnia, quæ de eo scripta erant, deponéntes eum de ligno posuérunt in monuménto. Deus vero suscitávit eum a mórtuis.
Brethren, to you the word of this salvation is sent. For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them. And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him. And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him up from the dead.
