De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Philippénses
Gavísus sum in Dómino veheménter quóniam tandem aliquándo refloruístis pro me sentíre, sicut et sentiebátis, opportunitáte autem carebátis. Non quasi propter penúriam dico, ego enim dídici, in quibus sum, suffíciens esse. Scio et humiliári, scio et abundáre; ubíque et in ómnibus institútus sum et satiári et esuríre et abundáre et penúriam pati. Omnia possum in eo, qui me confórtat.
Verúmtamen bene fecístis communicántes tribulatióni meæ. Scitis autem et vos, Philippénses, quod in princípio evangélii, quando proféctus sum a Macedónia, nulla mihi ecclésia communicávit in ratióne dati et accépti nisi vos soli; quia et Thessalonícam et semel et bis in usum mihi misístis. Non quia quæro datum, sed requíro fructum, qui abúndet in ratiónem vestram. Accépi autem ómnia et abúndo; replétus sum accéptis ab Epaphrodíto, quæ misístis odórem suavitátis, hóstiam accéptam, placéntem Deo. Deus autem meus implébit omne desidérium vestrum secúndum divítias suas in glória in Christo Iesu. Deo autem et Patri nostro glória in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Salutáte omnem sanctum in Christo Iesu. Salútant vos, qui mecum sunt, fratres. Salútant vos omnes sancti, máxime autem, qui de Cæsaris domo sunt. Grátia Dómini Iesu Christi cum spíritu vestro. Amen.
r. Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam, et clamor meus ad te véniat; * Quia non spernis, Deus, preces páuperum. v. De profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine; Dómine exáudi vocem meam. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernardíni Senénsis presbýteri (Sermo 9: Opera omn. 1650, 4, 110)
Quis mortálium, nisi divíno tutus vel fretus oráculo, de vera Dei et hóminis Genetríce quidquam módicum sive grande præsúmat incircumcísis et pollútis lábiis dícere, quam Pater ante sæcula Deus in perpétuam et digníssimam vírginem prædestinávit, Fílius elégit in matrem, Spíritus Sanctus omnis grátiæ domicílium præparávit? Quibus verbis ego homúnculus sensus altíssimos Virgínei cordis sanctíssimo ore prolátos éfferam? Quibus non súfficit lingua ómnium hóminum, et étiam angelórum. Dóminus enim ait: Bonus homo de bono thesáuro cordis sui profert bona. Quis autem inter puros hómines mélior potest excogitári, quam illa quæ méruit éffici mater Dei; quæ in corde et in útero suo ipsum Deum hospitáta est?
Quis thesáurus mélior, quam ipse divínus amor, quo, velut fornáce, cor Vírginis ardens erat? De hoc ígitur corde, quasi de fornáce divíni ardóris, Virgo beáta prótulit verba bona, id est verba ardentíssimæ caritátis. Sicut enim a vase, summo et óptimo vino pleno, non potest exíre nisi óptimum vinum; aut sicut a fornáce summi ardóris non egréditur nisi incéndium fervens: sic de corde matris Christi exíre non pótuit verbum, nisi summi summéque divíni amóris atque ardóris. Sapiéntis dóminæ atque matrónæ est pauca verba, sólida tamen atque sententiósa habére.
Proínde septem vícibus, quasi septem verba tantum miræ senténtiæ et virtútis, a Christi benedictíssima matre legúntur dicta: ut mýstice ostendátur ipsam fuísse plenam grátia septifórmi. Cum ángelo bis tantúmmodo locúta est: Quómodo fiet istud? et: Ecce ancílla Dómini. Cum Elísabeth bis étiam; scílicet illam salutándo, et Deum laudándo, cum ait: Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum. Cum Fílio étiam bis: semel in templo: Fili, quid fecísti nobis sic? et in núptiis: Vinum non habent. Cum minístris semel: Quodcúmque díxerit vobis, fácite. Et in his ómnibus semper valde parum locúta est; excépto quod in laude Dei et gratiárum actióne se ámplius dilatávit; scílicet cum ait: Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum, ubi non cum hómine, sed cum Deo locúta est.
r. Quis deus magnus sicut Deus noster? * Præelégit me Deus et pósuit immaculátam viam meam. v. Exsultávit spíritus meus in Deo, salutári meo. * Præelégit. v. Glória Patri. * Præelégit.
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.
