Hymnus
Candor ætérnæ Deitátis alme, Christe, tu lumen vénia atque vita ádvenis, morbis hóminum medéla, porta salútis.
Bright splendor of divinity, O Christ, our only life and light, You bring the sick a remedy, And set our crooked paths aright.
Intonat terræ chorus angelórum cǽlicum carmen, nova sæcla dicens, glóriam Patri, generíque nostro gáudia pacis.
So let the angels' song resound, To usher in the age of grace And tell of glory all around, Proclaiming joy unto our race.
Qui iaces parvus dóminans et orbi, Vírginis fructus sine labe sanctæ, Christe, iam mundo potiáris omni, semper amándus.
You lie, an infant, ruling earth, Now rule our hearts forevermore, To whom a spotless Maid gave birth, O Christ, our most beloved Lord.
Nascéris cælos pátriam datúrus, unus e nobis, caro nostra factus; ínnova mentes, trahe caritátis péctora vinclis.
You came to give us heav'n above, As one of us, you took our flesh; Entwine our hearts with bonds of love And with your grace our minds refresh.
Cœtus exsúltans canit ecce noster ángelis læto sociátus ore, et Patri tecum parilíque Amóri cántica laudis. Amen.
Behold we join the angels' song And cry to you with one accord, To whom all hymns of praise belong, The Holy Trinity, one Lord.

Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.
O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum; * sana me, Dómine, quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
Et ánima mea turbáta est valde, * sed tu, Dómine, úsquequo?

Quóniam fecísti iudícium meum et causam meam, * sedísti super thronum, qui iúdicas iustítiam.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
Increpásti gentes, perdidísti ímpium; * nomen eórum deléstiin ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
Inimíci defecérunt, * solitúdines sempitérnæ factæ sunt;
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end:
et civitátes destruxísti: * périit memória eórum cum ipsis.
and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:
Dóminus autem in ætérnum sedébit, * parávit in iudícium thronum suum
but the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
et ipse iudicábit orbem terræ in iustítia, * iudicábit pópulos in æquitáte.
and he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
Et erit Dóminus refúgium opprésso, * refúgium in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne.

Psállite Dómino, qui hábitat in Sion; * annuntiáte inter gentes stúdia eius.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
Quóniam requírens sánguinem recordátus est eórum, * non est oblítus clamórem páuperum.
For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
Miserére mei, Dómine; † vide afflictiónem meam de inimícis meis, * qui exáltas me de portis mortis,
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion, * exsúltem in salutári tuo.
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
Infíxae sunt gentes in fóvea, quam fecérunt; † in láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
Manifestávit se Dóminus iudícium fáciens; * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
Converténtur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes gentes, quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis; * exspectátio páuperum non períbit in ætérnum.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Exsúrge, Dómine, non confortétur homo; * iudicéntur gentes in conspéctu tuo.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
Constítue, Dómine, terrórem super eos; * sciant gentes quóniam hómines sunt.
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Colossénses
Fratres, omne quodcúmque fácitis in verbo aut in ópere, ómnia in nómine Dómini Iesu grátias agéntes Deo Patri per ipsum. Mulíeres, súbditæ estóte viris, sicut opórtet in Dómino.
Servi, obœdíte per ómnia dóminis carnálibus, non ad óculum serviéntes, quasi homínibus placéntes, sed in simplicitáte cordis, timéntes Dóminum. Quodcúmque fácitis, ex ánimo operámini sicut Dómino et non homínibus, sciéntes quod a Dómino accipiétis retributiónem hereditátis. Dómino Christo servíte.
Qui enim iniúriam facit, recípiet id quod iníque gessit, et non est personárum accéptio. Dómini, quod iustum est et æquum, servis præstáte, sciéntes quóniam et vos Dóminum habétis in cælo.
r. Nésciens Mater virgo virum, péperit sine dólore Salvatórem sæculórum, ipsum Regem angelórum, * Sola virgo lactábat úbere de cælo pleno. v. Beáta víscera Maríæ Vírginis, quæ portavérunt ætérni Patris Fílium. * Sola. v. Glória Patri. * Sola.

Ex Capítibus quínquies centénis sancti Máximi Confessóris abbátis (Centuria 1, 8-11: PG 90, 1182-1183)
Dei Verbum, carne semel natum (quæ eius propénsa benígnitas ac humánitas est), his qui velint, semper volens spíritu náscitur; fitque infans, se in illis virtútibus infórmans; ac quo módulo cápere novit suscipiéntem, seípsum maniféstat, nulla livóris labe ac invídia, suæ magnitúdinis amplitúdinem mínuens, sed quasi mensúra ac modo cupiéntium vidére facultátem explórans, sempérque præ mystérii excelléntia, cunctis inaspectábilis perínde persevérans. Quámobrem divínus Apóstolus, mystérii vim sapiénter consíderans: Iesus Christus, inquit, heri et hódie; ipse et in sæcula; ita nimírum, mystérium semper novum intéllegens, nulláque umquam mentis comprehensióne consenéscens.
Nascitur Christus Deus, assumptióne carnis ánima intellegénte prditæ, factus homo; qui ipse rebus concésserat, ut ex níhilo procéderent; stella ab Oriénte intérdiu conspícua micat, magósque ducit quo loco Verbum assúmpta carne iacet; ut osténdat verbum quod continétur in lege et prophétis, mýstice superáre sénsuum notítiam et gentes addúcere ad máximum cognitiónis lumen. Plane enim legis sermo ac prophéticus, stellæ instar, pie intelléctus eos qui grátiæ vi secúndum propósitum vocáti sunt, ad Verbum incarnátum agnoscéndum addúcit.
Idcírco Deus fit perféctus homo, nihil eórum quæ erant natúræ, uno dumtáxat dempto peccáto (quando nec ipsum ex censu natúræ erat), demútans; ut, carnis esca obiécta, eius vorándæ insatiábilem dracónem, illíque inhiántem, provocáret; carnis scilicet, quæ illi venénum futúra erat, obténtu, deitátis in ea occúltæ poténtia, ipsum pénitus proflígans: humánæ vero natúræ remédium foret, ad prístinam eam grátiam instáurans, deitátis ítidem in ea poténtia.
r. Sancta et immaculáta virgínitas, quibus te láudibus réferam, néscio: * Quia quem cæli cápere non póterant, tuo grémio contulísti. v. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.
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.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
