Hymnus
Beate (Beata) martyr, próspera diem triumphálem tuum, quo sánguinis merces tibi coróna vincénti datur.
Hic te ex tenébris sǽculi, tortóre victo et iúdice, evéxit ad cælum dies Christóque ovántem réddidit.
Nunc angelórum párticeps collúces insígni stola, quam testis indomábilis rivis cruóris láveras.
Adésto nunc et óbsecra, placátus ut Christus suis inclínet aurem prósperam, noxas nec omnes ímputet.
Paulís per huc illábere Christi favórem déferens, sensus gravati ut séntiant levámen indulgéntiæ.
Honor Patri cum Fílio et Spíritu Paráclito, qui te coróna pérpeti cingunt in aula glóriæ. Amen.
Ant. 1. Laborávi clamans, dum spero in Deum meum.

Salvum me fac, Deus, * quóniam venérunt aquæ usque ad guttur meum.
Save me, O God, for the waters have entered my soul.
Infíxus sum in limo profúndi, et non est substántia; * veni in profúnda aquárum, et fluctus demérsit me.
I am buried in a deep mud, where there is no consistency; I went down unto the bottom of the water and the flood overwhelmed me.
Laborávi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ; * defecérunt óculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
I tired myself out screaming, my throat was hoarse; my eyes have been exhausted, whilst I wait for my God.
Multiplicáti sunt super capíllos cápitis mei, * qui odérunt me gratis.
They have become more numerous than the hairs on my head, those who hate me without cause.
Confortáti sunt, qui persecúti sunt me inimíci mei mendáces; * quæ non rápui, tunc exsolvébam.
They have become strong, my enemies who persecute me unjustly; I had to pay for what I hadn't taken.
Deus, tu scis insipiéntiam meam, * et delícta mea a te non sunt abscóndita.
O God, Thou knowest my folly, and my sins are not hidden from Thou.
Non erubéscant in me, qui exspéctant te, * Dómine, Dómine virtútum.
Let not those who hope in Thou be ashamed for my sake, O Lord, Lord of hosts.
Non confundántur super me, * qui quærunt te, Deus Israel.
Let them not be confounded about me, those who seek Thou, God of Israel.
Quóniam propter te sustínui oppróbrium, * opéruit confúsio fáciem meam;
For it was for Thee's sake that I suffered reproach, and confusion covered my countenance.
extráneus factus sum frátribus meis * et peregrínus fíliis matris meæ.
I became a stranger to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's sons.
Quóniam zelus domus tuæ comédit me, * et oppróbria exprobrántium tibi cecidérunt super me.

Advérsum me loquebántur, qui sedébant in porta, * et in me canébant, qui bibébant vinum.
Those who sat at the door spoke against me, and those who drank wine mocked me with their songs.

Ego vero oratiónem meam ad te, Dómine, * in témpore benepláciti, Deus.
But I pray to Thou, Lord. This is the favorable time, O God.
In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me, * in veritáte salútis tuæ.
According unto the greatness of Thy mercy, hearken unto me, according unto the truth of Thy promises of salvation.
Éripe me de luto, ut non infígar, † erípiar ab iis, qui odérunt me, * et de profúndis aquárum.
the raging waves do not overwhelm me; let not the abyss swallow me up, and let the well not close its mouth on me.
Exáudi me, Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua; * secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.
Hearken unto me, O Lord, for Thy mercy is all sweet; behold upon me according unto the abundance of Thy bounties.
Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo; * quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exáudi me.

Effúnde super eos iram tuam, * et furor iræ tuæ comprehéndat eos.
Pour out Thy wrath on them, and let the fury of Thy wrath seize them.
Fiat commorátio eórum desérta, * et in tabernáculis eórum non sit qui inhábitet.

Deus, qui sanctum Maximiliánum Maríam, presbýterum et mártyrem, amóre Vírginis Immaculátæ succénsum, animárum zelo et próximi dilectióne replevísti, † concéde propítius, ut, eo intercedénte, pro tua glória in servítio hóminum strénue laborántes, usque ad mortem Fílio tuo conformári valeámus. Qui tecum.
God, who filled us with zeal for souls and love for the neighbor Saint Maximilian-Mary, priest and martyr, inflamed with love for the Immaculate Virgin, grant us in Thy goodness, and through His intercession, to expend ourselves unsparingly in the service of men, and to be conformed to Thy Son even in death.
