Hymnus
Quid sum miser tunc dictúrus, quem patrónum rogatúrus, cum vix iustus sit secúrus?
Ah, how shall I that day endure? What partrons friendly voice secure, When scarce the just themselves are sure?
Rex treméndæ maiestátis, qui salvándos salvas gratis, salva me, fons pietátis.

Lectio brevis (1 Cor 2, 7-10a)
Lóquimur Dei sapiéntiam in mystério, quæ abscóndita est, quam prædestinávit Deus ante sǽcula in glóriam nostram, quam nemo príncipum huius sǽculi cognóvit; si enim cognovíssent, numquam Dóminum glóriæ crucifixíssent. Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod óculus non vidit, nec auris audívit, nec in cor hóminis ascéndit, quæ præparávit Deus his, qui díligunt illum. Nobis autem revelávit Deus per Spíritum.
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory : Which none of the princes of this world knew; for if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit.
