Gratiarum actio in templo

Thanksgiving in the temple

Per ipsum (Christum) offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo (Hebr 13, 15).

Through Him (Christ) may we continually offer God a sacrifice of praise (Hebr 13:15).

Crédidi, étiam cum locútus sum: * «Ego humiliátus sum nimis».

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

Ego dixi in trepidatióne mea: * «Omnis homo mendax».

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

Quid retríbuam Dómino * pro ómnibus, quæ retríbuit mihi?

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?

Cálicem salutáris accípiam * et nomen Dómini invocábo.

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

Vota mea Dómino reddam * coram omni pópulo eius.

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

Pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini * mors sanctórum eius.

precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

O Dómine, ego servus tuus, * ego servus tuus et fílius ancíllæ tuæ.

O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

Dirupísti víncula mea: † tibi sacrificábo hóstiam laudis * et nomen Dómini invocábo.

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

Vota mea Dómino reddam * coram omni pópulo eius,

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

in átriis domus Dómini, * in médio tui, Ierúsalem.

in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Gaudium et spes in Deo

Joy and hope in the Lord

Sicuti socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis (2 Cor 1, 7).

As you share in our sufferings, you also share in our consolation (2 Cor 1:7).

In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion, * facti sumus quasi somniántes.

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.

Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum, * et lingua nostra exsultatióne.

Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy.

Tunc dicébant inter gentes: * «Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis».

Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.

Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum; * facti sumus lætántes.

The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.

Convérte, Dómine, captivitátem nostram, * sicut torréntes in austro.

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.

Qui séminant in lácrimis, * in exsultatióne metent.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Eúntes ibant et flebant * semen spargéndum portántes;

Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.

veniéntes autem vénient in exsultatióne * portántes manípulos suos.

But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

De Deo salvatore

To the saving God

Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, * qui benedíxit nos in omni benedictióne spiritáli in cæléstibus in Christo,

Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all kinds of spiritual blessings in heaven,

sicut elégit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutiónem, † ut essémus sancti et immaculáti * in conspéctu eius in caritáte,

it is in Him that He chose us even before the creation of the world, so that we might be holy and immaculate before Him in charity,

qui prædestinávit nos in adoptiónem filiórum † per Iesum Christum in ipsum, * secúndum beneplácitum voluntátis suæ,

having in His love predestined to be His adopted sons through Jesus Christ, according to His free will,

in laudem glóriæ grátiæ suæ, * in qua gratificávit nos in Dilécto,

thus making the glory of His grace shine forth, by which He hath made us pleasing in His sight in His beloved [Son].

in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem eius, * remissiónem peccatórum,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins,

secúndum divítias grátiæ eius, † qua superabundávit in nobis * in omni sapiéntia et prudéntia,

according unto the riches of His grace, which God has poured out abundantly upon us in all wisdom and understanding,

notum fáciens nobis mystérium voluntátis suæ, * secúndum beneplácitum eius,

by making known unto us the mystery of His will, according unto the free purpose which His goodness had set for Himself,

quod propósuit in eo, * in dispensatiónem plenitúdinis témporum:

to realize it when the fullness of time would be accomplished:

recapituláre ómnia in Christo, * quæ in cælis et quæ in terra.

namely, to gather together all things in Christ Jesus, those which are in heaven and those which are on earth.

Lectio brevis (Eph 4, 11-13)

Christus dedit quosdam quidem apóstolos, quosdam autem prophétas, álios vero evangelístas, álios autem pastóres et doctóres ad instructiónem sanctórum in opus ministérii, in ædificatiónem córporis Christi, donec occurrámus omnes in unitátem fídei et agnitiónis Fílii Dei, in virum perféctum, in mensúram ætátis plenitúdinis Christi.

And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors, For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ;
