Lectio brevis (1 P 1, 13-14)
Propter quod succincti lumbos mentis vestræ, sobrii, perfecte sperate in eam, quæ offertur vobis, gratiam in revelatione Iesu Christi. Quasi filii obœdientiæ, non configurati prioribus in ignorantia vestra desideriis.
Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ, As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance:
v. Benedícite, ómnia ópera Dómini, Dómino. r. Laudáte et superexaltáte eum in sǽcula.
Orémus.
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.
Deus, qui beátum Petrum Chrysólogum epíscopum Verbi tui incarnáti præcónem egrégium effecísti, † eius nobis intercessióne concéde, ut tuæ salútis mystéria et iúgiter scrutémur in corde, et fidéliter significémus in ópere. Per Dóminum.
