Fortis en præsul, mónachus fidélis, láurea doctor redimítus astat; festus Ansélmo chorus æmulétur dícere carmen.
Ante matúros sápiens hic annos sǽculi florem pereúntis horret; claustra, Lanfranci documénta quærens, strénuus intrat.
Intimum pulsans penetrále Verbi fertur immótæ fídei volátu; dógmatum puros látices an ullus áltius hausit?
Ipse sit nostri memor ad supernam semper et sollers Triadem patronus, cuncta quam toto venerantur orbe laude perenni.

O God, when Thou walkedst at the head of Thy people, when Thou crossed the desert,
étiam cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israel.

De Actibus Apostolórum
Saulus, adhuc spirans minárum et cædis in discípulos Dómini, accéssit ad príncipem sacerdótum et pétiit ab eo epístulas in Damáscum ad synagógas, ut si quos invenísset huius viæ, viros ac mulíeres, vinctos perdúceret in Ierúsalem. Et cum iter fáceret, cóntigit ut appropinquáret Damásco, et súbito circumfúlsit eum lux de cælo, et cadens in terram audívit vocem dicéntem sibi: " Saul Saul, quid me perséqueris? " Qui dixit: " Quis es, Dómine? " Et ille: " Ego sum Iesus, quem tu perséqueris! Sed surge et ingrédere civitátem, et dicétur tibi quid te opórteat fácere. "
Viri autem illi qui comitabántur cum eo, stabant stupefácti, audiéntes quidem vocem, néminem autem vidéntes. Surréxit autem Saulus de terra apertísque óculis nihil vidébat; ad manus autem illum trahéntes introduxérunt Damáscum. Et erat tribus diébus non videns et non manducávit neque bibit.
Erat autem quidam discípulus Damásci nómine Ananías, et dixit ad illum in visu Dóminus: " Ananía. " At ille ait: " Ecce ego, Dómine. " Et Dóminus ad illum: " Surgens vade in vicum qui vocátur Rectus, et quære in domo Iudæ Saulum nómine Tarsénsem; ecce enim orat et vidit virum Ananíam nómine intrœúntem et imponéntem sibi manus, ut visum recípiat. " Respóndit autem Ananías: " Dómine, audívi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala sanctis tuis fécerit in Ierúsalem; et hic habet potestátem a princípibus sacerdótum alligándi omnes qui ínvocant nomen tuum. " Dixit autem ad eum Dóminus: " Vade, quóniam vas electiónis est mihi iste, ut portet nomen meum coram géntibus et régibus et fíliis Israel; ego enim osténdam illi quanta opórteat eum pro nómine meo pati. " Et ábiit Ananías et introívit in domum et impónens ei manus dixit: " Saul frater, Dóminus misit me, Iesus qui appáruit tibi in via qua veniébas, ut vídeas et impleáris Spíritu Sancto. " Et conféstim cecidérunt ab óculis eius tamquam squamæ, et visum recépit. Et surgens baptizátus est et, cum accepísset cibum, confortátus est.
Fuit autem cum discípulis qui erant Damásci, per dies áliquot et contínuo in synagógis prædicábat Iesum, quóniam hic est Fílius Dei. Stupébant autem omnes qui audiébant et dicébant: " Nonne hic est qui expugnábat in Ierúsalem eos qui invocábant nomen istud, et huc ad hoc vénerat, ut vinctos illos dúceret ad príncipes sacerdótum? " Saulus autem magis convalescébat et confundébat Iudæos qui habitábant Damásci, affírmans quóniam hic est Christus.
r. Grátia Dei sum id quod sum, * Et grátia eius in me vácua non fuit, sed semper in me manet, allelúia, allelúia. v. Qui operátus est Petro in apostolátum, operátus est et mihi inter gentes. * Et grátia eius. v. Glória Patri. * Et grátia eius.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Sermónibus sancti Ansélmi epíscopi (Sermo de Passione Domini : PL 158, 675-676)
Domine Iesu Christe, pastor bone, qui pro grege tuo mori dignátus es, agnósce me inter oves tuas et trahe ad páscua tua, et agnósce ovículam tuam ut mérear esse ad déxteram tuam. Fac me partícipem glóriæ tuæ qui amárum cálicem bibísti pro me : pœna tua torquet consciéntiam meam, torménta crúciant memóriam meam : ego enim tímui potiónem quam bibísti; ego peccávi quod tu tulísti; ego servus cóntumax commísi quod tu devapulásti; ego contráxi quod tu exsolvísti; causa tuæ mortis fuit iníquitas mea, vúlnera tua fecérunt crímina mea. Væ peccátis meis, quæ tam amára morte expiári opórtuit. O peccáta mea, quam amára fuístis quæ mihi dulcédinem promisístis et me fefellístis!
O ineffábilis misericórdia! Ubi abundávit delíctum, superabundávit et grátia, ut cum satisfácere pro culpa nullus debéret nisi homo, nullus absólvere póterat nisi Deus. Míserat ut homo fíeret, qui cum pro se nihil debéret, moriéndo pro nobis delíctum nostrum sólveret. Proptérea Deus carne indúitur; qui est concípitur, Verbum incorporátur, ætérnus náscitur, pannis invólvitur, in præsépio pónitur, circumcíditur, baptizátur, ésurit, tentátur; Deus, ut homo, vénditur, cápitur, tenétur, ligátur, conviciátur, oppróbriis saturátur, acéto et felle potátur, spinis coronátur, inter latrónes computátur, morte turpíssima condemnátur, cruci affígitur. Ecce quómodo próprio Fílio non pepércit Deus, sed pro nobis illum trádidit.
O grátia tradéntis! O píetas mortis! O bone Iesu! O pie Iesu! Quid tríbuam tibi, quid sustinébo pro te qui tot et tanta sustinuísti pro me? Exhibítio óperis probátio est dilectiónis. Quid ergo fáciam qui tantum indígnus accépi? Quid reddam, quid repéndam? Accipe quod tuum est, fac de servo tuo quod tibi placet; non débeo tibi auférre ius tuum, non débeo dare aliéno dómino servum tuum; ius tuum ánima mea est, servus tuus corpus meum est; ius tuum fecísti ánimam meam, quando pro ea posuísti ánimam tuam; servum tuum fecísti corpus meum, quando pro eo tradidísti corpus tuum in mortem.
r. Hic est Ansélmus, doctor præclárus, sub disciplína Lanfránci institútus, qui cum esset monachórum pater amábilis, ad pontificáles ínfulas vocátus est; * Et pro libertáte sanctæ Ecclésiæ strénue decertávit, allelúia.V. Non ancíllam, sed líberam esse Christi sponsam, invícta voce asserébat. * Et pro libertáte. v. Glória Patri. * Et pro libertáte.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
