Hymnus
Sacris sollémniis iuncta sint gáudia, et ex præcórdiis sonent præcónia; recédant vétera, nova sint ómnia, corda, voces et ópera.
At this our solemn Feast, Let holy joys abound, And from the inmost breast Let songs of praise resound; Let ancient rites depart, And all be new around, In evry act, and voice, and heart.
Noctis recólitur cena novíssima, qua Christus créditur agnum et azýma dedísse frátribus iuxta legítima priscis indúlta pátribus.

He gave them, weak and frail, His Flesh, their Food to be; On them, downcast and sad, His Blood bestowed He: And thus to them He spake, “Receive this Cup from Me, And all of you of this partake.”

De libro Exodi
In diébus illis: Dixit Dóminus Móysi: " Ascénde ad Dóminum, tu et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu et septuagínta senes ex Israel, et adorábitis procul. Solúsque Móyses ascéndet ad Dóminum, et illi non appropinquábunt, nec pópulus ascéndet cum eo. "
Venit ergo Móyses et narrávit plebi ómnia verba Dómini atque iudícia; respondítque omnis pópulus una voce: " Omnia verba Dómini, quæ locútus est, faciémus. " Scripsit autem Móyses univérsos sermónes Dómini; et mane consúrgens ædificávit altáre ad radíces montis et duódecim lápides per duódecim tribus Israel. Misítque iúvenes de fíliis Israel, et obtulérunt holocáusta; immolaverúntque víctimas pacíficas Dómino vítulos.
Tulit ítaque Móyses dimídiam partem sánguinis et misit in cratéras; partem autem resíduam respérsit super altáre. Assuménsque volúmen fderis legit, audiénte pópulo, qui dixérunt: " Omnia, quæ locútus est Dóminus, faciémus et érimus obœdiéntes. " Ille vero sumptum sánguinem respérsit in pópulum et ait: " Hic est sanguis fœderis, quod pépigit Dóminus vobíscum super cunctis sermónibus his. "
Ascenderúntque Móyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu et septuagínta de senióribus Israel. Et vidérunt Deum Israel, et sub pédibus eius quasi opus lápidis sapphírini et quasi ipsum cælum, cum serénum est. Nec in eléctos filiórum Israel misit manum suam; viderúntque Deum et comedérunt ac bibérunt.
r. Panis, quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita. Litigábant ergo Iudæi dicéntes: * Quómodo potest hic nobis dare carnem suam ad manducándum? v. Locútus est pópulus contra Dóminum: Anima nostra náuseat super cibo isto levíssimo. * Quómodo. v. Glória Patri. * Quómodo.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Brevilóquio sancti Bonaventúræ epíscopi (Pars 6, 1-2: Op. omnia 7, 320)
De sacraménto Eucharístiæ hoc tenéndum est, quod in hoc sacraménto verum Christi corpus et verus sanguis non tantum significátur, verum étiam veráciter continétur sub dúplici spécie, panis scílicet et vini, tamquam sub uno, non sub dúplici sacraménto; hoc autem est post consecratiónem sacerdotálem, quæ fit in prolatióne vocális formæ a Dómino institútæ; super panem scílicet: Hoc est corpus meum; super vinum vero: Hic est calix sánguinis mei.
Quibus verbis cum intentióne conficiéndi a sacerdóte prolátis, transsubstantiátur utrúmque eleméntum secúndum substántiam in corpus et sánguinem Iesu Christi, remanéntibus speciébus sensibílibus, in quarum utráque continétur totáliter, non circumscriptibíliter nec locáliter, sed sacramentáliter totus Christus. In quibus étiam propónitur nobis ut cibus, quem qui digne áccipit, non solum sacramentáliter, verum étiam per fidem et caritátem spiritáliter manducándo, córpori Christi mýstico magis incorporátur et in seípso refícitur et purgátur; qui vero indígne accédit iudícium sibi mandúcat et bibit, non diiúdicans sanctíssimum corpus Christi.
Ratio autem ad intellegéntiam prædictórum hæc est: quia princípium nostrum reparatívum, Verbum scílicet incarnátum, et sufficientíssimum est in virtúte et sapientíssimum in sensu, ídeo sic nobis cóntulit sacraménta secúndum quod éxigit sapiéntia et sufficiéntia sua. Et quia sufficientíssimum est, ídeo in largiéndo medicaménta morbórum et charísmata gratiárum, non tantum instítuit sacraméntum, quod nos in esse grátiæ generáret, ut baptísmum, et génitos augmentáret et roboráret, ut confirmatiónem, verum étiam quod génitos et augmentátos enutríret, ut sacraméntum Eucharístiæ; propter quod hæc tria sacraménta ómnibus dantur, qui accédunt ad fidem.
Quóniam ergo nutriméntum nostrum, quantum ad esse gratuítum, atténditur, in unoquóque fidélium, per conservatiónem devotiónis ad Deum, dilectiónis ad próximum et delectatiónis intra seípsum; et devótio ad Deum exercétur per sacrifícii oblatiónem, diléctio ad próximum per uníus sacraménti communiónem, et delectátio intra seípsum per viátici refectiónem: hinc est quod princípium nostrum reparatívum istud sacraméntum Eucharístiæ dedit in sacrifícium oblatiónis et sacraméntum communiónis et viáticum refectiónis.
r. Unus panis, et unum corpus multi sumus, * Omnes de uno pane et de uno cálice participámus. v. Parásti in dulcédine tua páuperi, Deus, qui habitáre facis unánimes in domo. * Omnes. v. Glória Patri. * Omnes.
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.
