Hymnus
Hæc fémina laudábilis et honoráta méritis, ut sanctis pollet móribus, triúmphat sic cum ángelis.
Ex corde devotíssimo orans Deum cum lácrimis, vigíliis, ieiúniis hærébat hæc assíduis.
Contémnens mundi glóriam ac mente semper íntegra, perféctam post iustítiam migrávit super sídera.
Quæ sanctitátis áctibus sua ditávit límina, lætátur nunc perpétuis cæléstis ædis præmiis.
Laus uni ac trino Dómino, qui nos eius precátibus, perácto vitæ término, coniúngat cæli cívibus. Amen.

Ut quid, Dómine, stas a longe, * abscóndis te in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?
Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
Dum supérbit, ímpius inséquitur páuperem; * comprehendántur in consíliis, quæ cógitant.
Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
Quóniam gloriátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ, * et avárus sibi benedícit.
For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
Spernit Dóminum peccátor in arrogántia sua: * Non requíret, non est Deus."
The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
Hæ sunt omnes cogitatiónes eius; * prosperántur viæ illíus in omni témpore.
God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times.
Excélsa nimis iudícia tua a fácie eius; * omnes inimícos suos aspernátur.
Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
Dixit enim in corde suo: « Non movébor, * in generatiónem et generatiónem ero sine malo ».
For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
Cuius maledictióne os plenum est et frauduléntia et dolo, * sub lingua eius labor et nequítia.
His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
Sedet in insídiis ad vicos, * in occúltis intérficit innocéntem.
He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt. * Insidiátur in abscóndito quasi leo in spelúnca sua.
His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den.
Insidiátur, ut rápiat páuperem; * rapit páuperem, dum áttrahit in láqueum suum.
He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
Irruit et inclínat se, et míseri cadunt * in fortitúdine brachiórum eius.
In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
Dixit enim in corde suo: « Oblítus est Deus; * avértit fáciem suam, non vidébit in finem ».
For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Exsúrge, Dómine Deus; exálta manum tuam, * ne obliviscáris páuperum.
Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
Propter quid spernit ímpius Deum? * Dixit enim in corde suo: "Non requíres".
Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
Vidísti: † tu labórem et dolórem consíderas, * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
Tibi derelíctus est pauper, * órphano tu factus es adiútor.
To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni; * quæres peccátum illíus et non invénies.
Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Dóminus rex in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi: * periérunt gentes de terra illíus.
The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
Desidérium páuperum exaudísti, Dómine; * confirmábis cor eórum, inténdes aurem tuam
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
iudicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra indúcere timórem homo de terra.
To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

Propter nos pauperes Pater Filium dignatus est mittere. (S. Augustinus)
For us poor, the Father deigned to send His Son (S. Augustine)
Salvum me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus, * quóniam deminúti sunt fidéles a fíliis hóminum.
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum; * in lábiis dolósis, in dúplici corde locúti sunt.
They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa * et linguam magníloquam.
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
Qui dixérunt: "Lingua nostra magnificábimur, † lábia nostra a nobis sunt; * quis noster dóminus est?"
Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
"Propter misériam ínopum et gémitum páuperum, † nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus; * ponam in salutári illum, quem despíciunt."
By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
Elóquia Dómini elóquia casta, * argéntum igne examinátum, separátum a terra, purgátum séptuplum.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
Tu, Dómine, servábis nos et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.
In circúitu ímpii ámbulant, * a cum exaltántur sordes inter fílios hóminum.
The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

De libro primo Maccabæórum 6, 1-13
In diébus illis: Rex Antíochus perambulábat superióres regiónes et audívit esse Elymáida in Pérside civitátem gloriósam divítiis argénto et auro templúmque in ea lócuples valde et illic velámina áurea et lóricæ et scuta, quæ relíquit ibi Alexánder Philíppi rex Mácedo qui regnávit primus in Græcia. Et venit et quærébat cápere civitátem et deprædári eam et non pótuit, quóniam innótuit sermo his qui erant in civitáte. Et restitérunt ei in prœlium. Et fugit inde et ábiit cum tristítia magna, ut reverterétur in Babylóniam.
Et venit qui nuntiáret ei in Pérside quia fugáta sunt castra quæ íverant in terram Iudæ, et quia ábiit Lýsias cum virtúte forti in primis et fugátus est a fácie eórum, et invaluérunt armis et víribus et spóliis multis quæ cepérunt de castris quæ excidérunt, et quia diruérunt abominatiónem quam ædificáverat super altáre quod erat in Ierúsalem, et sanctificatiónem sicut prius circumdedérunt muris excélsis et Bethsúram civitátem eius. Et factum est, ut audívit rex sermónes istos, expávit et commótus est valde et décidit in lectum et íncidit in languórem præ tristítia, quia non factum est ei sicut cogitábat.
Et erat illic per dies multos, quia renováta est in eo tristítia magna, et arbitrátus est se mori. Et vocávit omnes amícos suos et dixit illis: "Recéssit somnus ab óculis meis, et concídi corde præ sollicitúdine et dixi in corde meo: Quoúsque tribulatiónis devéni et tempestátis magnæ in qua nunc sum? Quia iucúndus eram et diléctus in potestáte mea! Nunc vero reminíscor malórum quæ feci in Ierúsalem, unde et ábstuli ómnia vasa áurea et argéntea quæ erant in ea, et misi auférre habitántes Iudam sine causa. Cognóvi quia proptérea invenérunt me mala ista; et ecce péreo tristítia magna in terra aliéna."
r. Congregáti sunt inimíci nostri et gloriántur in virtúte sua; cóntere fortitúdinem illórum, Dómine, et dispérge illos, * Quia non est álius qui pugnet pro nobis, nisi tu Deus noster. v. Dispérge illos in virtúte tua et déstrue eos, protéctor noster, Dómine. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.
In secundo nocturno, anno II)
Ex Homilía auctóris sæculi secúndi (Cc. 3-4. 7: Funk 1, 187-193)
Cum tantam misericórdiam erga nos Christus fécerit: primo quidem, quod nos qui vívimus diis mórtuis non sacrificámus nec adorámus eos, sed per ipsum cognóvimus Patrem veritátis; quænam est cognítio ad eum perdúcens, nisi ut non negémus illum, per quem eum cognóvimus? Ait vero étiam ipse: Qui me conféssus fúerit coram homínibus, confitébor eum coram Patre meo. Hæc est ítaque merces nostra, si eum confitémur, per quem serváti sumus. In quonam autem illum confitébimur? Faciéndo quæ dicit et mandáta illíus non spernéndo, nec solum lábiis eum honorándo, sed ex toto corde et ex tota mente. Dicit enim in Isaía: Pópulus iste lábiis me honórat, cor autem eórum longe abest a me.
Non solum ígitur ipsum vocémus Dóminum; id enim non salvábit nos. Dicit enim: Non omnis quid dicit mihi: "Dómine, Dómine", salvábitur, sed qui facit iustítiam. Itaque, fratres, in opéribus ipsum confiteámur, in diligéndo altérutrum, in non adulterándo neque obtrectándo ínvicem neque æmulándo, sed vivéndo in continéntia, misericórdia, bonitáte; et compassióne mútua duci debémus, non pecúniæ cupiditáte. In his opéribus confiteámur eum, non autem in contráriis; nec timéndi nobis sunt hómines, sed Deus. Idcírco vobis hæc faciéntibus dixit Dóminus: "Si fuéritis mecum congregáti in sinu meo et non fecéritis mandáta mea, abíciam vos et dicam vobis: Discédite a me, néscio vos unde sitis, operárii iniquitátis."
Quocírca, fratres mei, certémus, sciéntes præ mánibus esse certámen et ad corruptibília certámina multos appelláre, sed non omnes coronári, nisi qui plúrimum laboráverint et præcláre certárint. Nos ígitur certémus, ut omnes coronémur. Itaque currámus viam rectam, certámen incorruptíbile, et multi ad ipsum navigémus atque certémus, ut et coronémur; et si non póssumus omnes coronári, saltem prope corónam simus. Scire autem nos opórtet, quod qui certámen corruptíbile certat, si inveniátur corrúmpens, flagellátus aufértur, et extra stádium proícitur.
r. Tu, Dómine universórum, qui nullam habes indigéntiam, voluísti templum tuum fíeri in nobis; * Consérva domum istam immaculátam in ætérnum, Dómine. v. Qui regis Israel, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Ioseph, qui sedes super chérubim. * Consérva. v. Glória Patri. * Consérva.
Orémus.
Deus, qui beátæ Elísabeth tribuísti in paupéribus Christum cognóscere ac venerári, † da nobis, eius intercessióne, egénis et tribulátis iugi caritáte servíre. Per Dóminum.
God, Thou hast given Blessed Elizabeth to recognize and venerate Christ in the poor, grant us, through her intercession, to serve with inexhaustible charity those who are in need and affliction.
