De libro Iósue
In diébus illis: Habitatóres Gábaon misérunt ad Iósue, qui tunc morabátur in castris apud Gálgalam, et dixérunt ei: " Ne rétrahas manus tuas ab auxílio servórum tuórum! Ascénde cito et líbera nos ferque præsídium: convenérunt enim advérsum nos omnes reges Amorræórum qui hábitant in montánis. " Ascendítque Iósue de Gálgalis et omnis exércitus bellatórum cum eo, viri fortíssimi. Dixítque Dóminus ad Iósue: " Ne tímeas eos! In manus enim tuas trádidi illos; nullus tibi ex eis resístere póterit. "
Irruit ítaque Iósue super eos repénte tota ascéndens nocte de Gálgalis, et conturbávit eos Dóminus a fácie Israel; contrivítque plaga magna in Gábaon ac persecútus est per viam ascénsus Bethóron et percússit usque Azéca et Macéda. Cumque fúgerent fílios Israel et essent in descénsu Bethóron, Dóminus misit super eos lápides magnos de cælo usque Azeca, et mórtui sunt multo plures lapídibus grándinis, quam quos gládio percússerant fílii Israel.
Locútus est Iósue Dómino in die, qua trádidit Amorræum in conspéctu filiórum Israel, dixítque coram Israel: " Sol, in Gábaon ne moveáris, et luna, in valle Aialon. " Steterúntque sol et luna donec ulciscerétur se gens de inimícis suis. Nonne scriptum est hoc in libro Iusti? Stetit ítaque sol in médio cæli et non festinávit occúmbere spátio uníus fere diéi. Non fuit ántea et póstea sicut dies illa, obœdiénte Dómino voci hóminis, quia Dóminus pugnávit pro Israel.
r. Addúxit eos Dóminus in fortitúdine magna, cibávit eos nascéntiis agrórum; * Suxérunt mel de petra et óleum de firma petra. v. Bútyrum boum et lac óvium, cum ádipe agnórum et filiórum taurórum et hircórum. * Suxérunt. v. Glória Patri. * Suxérunt.

Ex Meditatióne sancti Ansélmi Lucénsis epíscopi super Salve Regína (PL 149, 583)
Ad salutándam beátam Vírginem, primo debes eius magnitúdinem consideráre; nec enim ámplius circa Fílium suum pótuit elevári quam ut Mater Dómini vocarétur. Exsúltans ergo, et admírans magnificéntiam matris nostræ, devóte et reverénter, ac confidénter ad ipsam accédens dícito: " Salve! ". Hoc dicto resílias in tuam parvitátem a magnificéntia Matris Dei. Et dic: " Patiéntiam habe in me, Dómina, quia ego vilíssimus hóminum áudeo assístere tantæ Dóminæ, et salutáre te præsúmo Regínam cælórum, Dóminam angelórum, Matrem Dei mei, sed de tua benignitáte, Dómina, húmili, ac humilitáte benígna confído, quod me indigníssimum sustinébis.
Et quamvis sis arca Dei, sine comparatióne nobílior arca Véteris Testaménti, et ego multo ignobílior; áttamen cum te tetígero corde, ac salutávero ore, non credo pércuti, sed tuo amóre pótius inflammári, et a tua pietáte largíssima in ómnibus exaudíri. Ergo salve, Regína, sub tuo regímine, Dómina, de cétero volo militáre, me totáliter dominatióni tuæ commítto, ut me plenárie regas et gubérnes.
Non me permíttas mihi, quia sum mihi ipsi cónscius nimis. Quidquid enim mihi dimíseris, nóveris misérrime destruéndum. Sed cum plenus sum miséria et a planta pedis usque ad vérticem putrefáctus putrédinem génerem et horrórem, quómodo me régere dignáberis tam nóbilis creatúra? Certe quia tu es Regína misericórdiæ. "
r. Qui persequebántur pópulum tuum, Dómine, demersísti eos in profúndum; * Et in colúmna nubis ductor eórum fuísti, Dómine. v. Exclamavérunt fílii Israel in angústia sua ad Dóminum, et misit eis salvatórem. * Et in colúmna. v. Glória Patri. * Et in colúmna.
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.
Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium; ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genetrícis memóriam ágimus; intercessiónis eius auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Dóminum.
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.
