Dicant, qui redémpti sunt a Dómino, * quos redémit de manu adversárii

et de regiónibus congregávit eos, † a solis ortu et occásu, * ab aquilóne et mari.

Erravérunt in solitúdine, in inaquóso, * viam civitátis habitatiónis non invenérunt.
They wandered in the desert, in the arid places, without finding a city where they could dwell.
Esuriéntes et sitiéntes, * ánima eórum in ipsis defécit.

for He hath filled the weary soul, and He hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
Sedéntes in ténebris et umbra mortis, * vincti in mendicitáte et ferro,
They sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, captives, in need, and in chains,
quia exacerbavérunt elóquia Dei * et consílium Altíssimi sprevérunt.
forasmuch as they had rebelled against the commands of God, and had despised the counsel of the Most High.
Et humiliávit in labóribus cor eórum, * infirmáti sunt, nec fuit qui adiuváret.
Their hearts were humbled by the work; they were exhausted, and there was no one to help them.
Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur, * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.

for He hath broken down the gates of brass, and broken the bolts of iron.
Stulti facti sunt in via iniquitátis suæ * et propter iniustítias suas afflícti sunt;
He hath taken them out of the way of their iniquity; for they had been humbled forasmuch as of their injustices.
omnem escam abomináta est ánima eórum, * et appropinquavérunt usque ad portas mortis.
Their souls abhorred all food, and they were near the gates of death.
Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur, * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.

Qui descéndunt mare in návibus, * faciéntes operatiónem in aquis multis,
Those who go down to sea in ships, and work on the vast waters,

these have seen the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the midst of the abyss.
Dixit et excitávit spíritum procéllæ, * et exaltáti sunt fluctus eíus.
He said, and the breath of the storm arose, and the waves of the sea were stirred up.
Ascéndunt usque ad cælos † et descéndunt usque ad abýssos; * ánima eórum in malis tabescébat.
They ascend to heaven, and descend unto the abyss; their souls fainted in the midst of their evils.
Turbáti sunt et moti sunt sicut ébrius, * et omnis sapiéntia eórum devoráta est.
They were troubled and agitated like a drunken man, and all their wisdom was annihilated.
Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum, cum tribularéntur, * et de necessitátibus eórum edúxit eos.
And they cried out unto the Lord in their tribulation, and He rescued them from their necessities.
Et státuit procéllam eíus in auram, * et tacuérunt fluctus eíus.
He changed the storm into a light wind, and the waves of the sea subsided.
Et lætáti sunt, quia siluérunt, * et dedúxit eos in portum voluntátis eórum.
They rejoiced to behold them appeased, and God led them unto the port where they wanted to arrive.

et exáltent eum in ecclésia plebis * et in convéntu seniórum laudent eum.
Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people, and let them praise Him in the council of the elders.
Pósuit flúmina in desértum * et éxitus aquárum in sitim,
He hath turned the rivers into a desert, and the springs of water into parched soil,
terram fructíferam in salsúginem * a malítia inhabitántium in ea.
and the fertile land in salt plains, forasmuch as of the malice of its inhabitants.
Pósuit desértum in stagna aquárum * et terram sine aqua in éxitus aquárum.
He hath turned the deserts into sheets of water, and the arid land into running waters.
Et collocávit illic esuriéntes, * et constituérunt civitátem habitatiónis.

Et seminavérunt agros et plantavérunt víneas, * et fecérunt fructum in provéntum suum.
they have sown fields and planted vineyards, and gathered abundant fruit.
Et benedíxit eis, et multiplicáti sunt nimis, * et iuménta eórum non minorávit.
He blessed them, and they multiplied exceedingly; He did not allow their flocks to be diminished.
Et pauci facti sunt et vexáti sunt * a tribulatióne malórum et dolóre.
Then they were reduced to a few, and overwhelmed by the affliction of their evils and pain.
Effúdit contemptiónem super príncipes * et erráre fecit eos in desérto ínvio.
Contempt was poured out upon the princes, and He caused them to wander out of the way and into places without way.
Et suscépit páuperem de inópia * et pósuit sicut oves famílias.
And He helped the poor in their poverty and multiplied families like flocks.
Vidébunt recti et lætabúntur, * et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.
The righteous will behold it and rejoice, and iniquity will have to shut its mouths.

Incipit Epístula beáti Iudæ apóstoli
Iudas Iesu Christi servus, frater autem Iacóbi, his qui sunt vocáti, in Deo Patre dilécti et Christo Iesu conserváti: misericórdia vobis et pax et cáritas adimpleátur. Caríssimi, omnem sollicitúdinem fáciens scribéndi vobis de commúni nostra salúte necésse hábui scríbere vóbis, déprecans certáre pro semel trádita sanctis fide. Subintroiérunt enim quidam hómines, qui olim præscrípti sunt in hoc iudícium, ímpii, Dei nostri grátiam transferéntes in luxúriam et solum Dominatórem et Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum negántes. Commonére autem vos volo, sciéntes vos ómnia, quóniam Dóminus semel pópulum de terra Ægýpti salvans, secúndo eos, qui non credidérunt, pérdidit; ángelos vero, qui non servavérunt suum principátum, sed dereliquérunt suum domicílium, in iudícium magni diéi vínculis ætérnis sub calígine reservávit. Sicut Sódoma et Gomórra et finítimæ civitátes, símili modo exfornicátæ et abeúntes post carnem álteram, factæ sunt exémplum, ignis ætérni pœnam sustinéntes.
Simíliter vero et hi somniántes carnem quidem máculant, dominatiónem autem spernunt, glórias autem blasphémant. Hi sunt in ágapis vestris máculæ convivántes sine timóre, semetípsos pascéntes, nubes sine aqua, quæ a véntis circumferúntur, árbores autumnáles infructuósæ bis mórtuæ, eradicátæ, flúctus féri máris despumántes suas confusiónes, sídera errántia, quibus procélla tenebrárum in ætérnum serváta est.
Vos autem, caríssimi, mémores estóte verbórum, quæ prædícta sunt ab apóstolis Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, quóniam dicébant vobis: "In novíssimo témpore vénient illusóres, secúndum suas concupiscéntias ambulántes impietátum". Hi sunt qui ségregant, animáles, Spíritum non habéntes. Vos autem, caríssimi, superædificántes vosmetípsos sanctíssimæ vestræ fídei, in Spíritu Sancto orántes, ipsos vos in dilectióne Dei serváte, exspectántes misericórdiam Dómini nostri Iesu Christi in vitam ætérnam. Et his quidem miserémini disputántibus, illos vero salváte de igne, rapiéntes, áliis autem miserémini in timóre, odiéntes et eam, quæ carnális est, maculátam túnicam.
Ei qui potest vos conserváre sine peccáto et constitúere ante conspéctum glóriæ suæ immaculátos in exsultatióne, soli Deo salvatóri nostro per Iesum Christum Dóminum nostrum glória, magnificéntia, impérium et potéstas ante omne sæculum et nunc et in ómnia sæcula. Amen.
r. Salvos nos fac, Dómine Deus noster, et cóngrega nos de natiónibus, * Ut confiteámur nómini tuo et gloriémur in laude tua. v. Meménto nostri, Dómine, in beneplácito pópuli tui; vísita nos in salutári tuo: * Ut confiteámur. v. Glória Patri. * Ut confiteámur.

Ex Adhortatióne apostólica Mariális cultus Pauli papæ sexti (N. 20: AAS 1974, 131-132)
María est Virgo ófferens. Quod quidem in præsentatióne Iesu in templo appáret. In quo evéntu Ecclésia, a Spíritu Sancto ducta, præter perfectiónem et absolutiónem legum de oblatióne primogéniti atque matris purificatióne, áliquod mystérium salútis deprehéndit, ad históriam ipsíus salútis spectans: animadvértit nempe ibi Ecclésia illam primáriam oblatiónem continuári, quam Verbum, caro factum et mundum ingrédiens, Deo adhíbuit; et ómnium hóminum denuntiári salútem, cum Símeon, púerum Iesum appéllans lumen ad revelatiónem géntium et glóriam Israel, Messíam illum agnóscat eumdémque Salvatórem ómnium; intelléxit dénique ad Christi passiónem prophétice reférri, cum Simeónis verba, uno eodémque oráculo Fílium, signum contradictiónis, et Matrem, cuius gládius ánimam pertransíret, inter se necténtia, in Calváriæ monte ad éxitum addúcta sint.
Quam ob rem, hoc salútis mystérium, váriis ratiónibus ipsíus considerátis, id habet próprium, ut per Christi præsentatiónem in templo ad evéntum crucis salvíficum próvocet. Céterum Ecclésia ipsa, máxime a médii ævi sæculis, in Vírgine, Fílium Ierúsalem afferénte, ut sísteret Dómino, voluntátem offeréndi seu, ut aiunt, oblatívam, intúita est, quæ suétum ritus intelléctum excéderet. Cuius sane rei testimónio est illa sancti Bernárdi dulcis compellátio: "Offer Fílium, Virgo sacráta, et benedíctum fructum ventris tui Dómino repræsénta. Offer ad nostram ómnium reconciliatiónem hóstiam sanctam, Deo placéntem."
Hæc autem matris et Fílii coniúnctio in ópere Redemptiónis summe enítuit in Calváriæ monte, in quo Christus semetípsum óbtulit immaculátum Deo, atque María, prope crucem stans, veheménter cum Unigénito suo condóluit et sacrifício eius se matérno ánimo sociávit, víctimæ de se génitæ immolatióni amánter conséntiens, quam et ipsa ætérno Patri óbtulit.

Deus, per quem nobis et redémptio venit et præstátur adóptio, † fílios dilectiónis tuæ benígnus inténde, * ut in Christo credéntibus et vera tribuátur libértas, et heréditas ætérna. Per Dóminum.
O God, by whom redemption comes unto us and through whom adoption is given unto us, come with kindness to meet the children of Thy love, so that, believing in Christ, true freedom and eternal inheritance may be given unto them.
