Rex glorióse mártyrum, coróna confiténtium, qui respuéntes térrea perdúcis ad cæléstia,
O glorious King of Martyr hosts, Thou Crown that each Confessor boasts, Who leadest to celestial day
Aurem benígnam prótinus appóne nostris vócibus; tropæa sacra pángimus, ignósce quod delíquimus.
The Saints who cast earth's joys away; Thine ear in mercy, Saviour, lend, While unto thee our prayers ascend;
Tu vincis in martyribus parcéndo confessóribus; tu vince nostra crímina donándo indulgéntiam.
And as we count their triumphs won, Forgive the sins that we have done. Martyrs in thee their triumphs gain, Confessors grace from thee obtain;
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

Messias rex et victor
Messiah, King and victorious
Convenerunt ver adversus puerum tuum Iesum, quem unxisti (Act 4,27)
They have truly banded together against Him whom Thou anointed (Acts 4:27).
Quare fremuérunt gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
Astitérunt reges terræ, † et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum et advérsus christum eíus:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
“Dirumpámus víncula eórum * et proiciámus a nobis íugum ipsórum!”
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos, * Dóminus subsannábit eos.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos:
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
“Ego autem constítui regem meum * super Sion, montem sanctum meum!”
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
Prædicábo decrétum eíus. † Dóminus dixit ad me: “Fílius meus es tu; * ego hódie génui te.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Póstula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hereditátem tuam * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Reges eos in virga férrea * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.”
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Et nunc, reges, intellégite; * erudímini, qui iudicátis terram.
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, thee that judge the earth.
Servíte Dómino in timóre * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Apprehéndite disciplínam, † ne quando irascátur, et pereátis de via, * cum exárserit in brevi ira eíus.

Beáta gens, cui Dóminus est Deus, * pópulus, quem elégit in hereditátem sibi.
De cælo respéxit Dóminus, * vidit omnes fílios hóminum.
From heaven the Lord looks, He seeth all the children of men;

From the place of His dwelling place, He watches all the inhabitants of the earth,
qui finxit singillátim corda eórum, * qui intéllegit ómnia ópera eórum.

Non salvátur rex per multam virtútem, * et gigas non liberábitur in multitúdine virtútis suæ.
It is not the number of soldiers that gives the king victory, it is not a great force that makes the warrior triumph.

De libro Aggæi prophétæ
In vicésima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secúndo Daríi, factum est verbum Dómini ad Aggæum prophétam dicens: " Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Intérroga sacerdótes legem dicens: "Si túlerit homo carnem sanctificátam in ora vestiménti sui et tetígerit de summitáte eius panem aut pulméntum aut vinum aut óleum aut omnem cibum, numquid sanctificábitur?" " Respondéntes autem sacerdótes dixérunt: " Non. " Et dixit Aggæus: " Si tetígerit pollútus cadávere ómnia hæc, numquid contaminabúntur? " Et respondérunt sacerdótes et dixérunt: " Contaminabúntur. " Et respóndit Aggæus et dixit: " Sic pópulus iste et sic gens ista ante fáciem meam, dicit Dóminus, et sic omne opus mánuum eórum et ómnia quæ ófferunt ibi contamináta sunt. "
" Et nunc pónite corda vestra a die hac et supra: Antequam ponerétur lapis super lápidem in templo Dómini, quid fuístis? Cum accederétis ad acérvum vigínti modiórum, erant decem; cum intrarétis ad tórcular ut haurirétis quinquagínta lagénas, erant vigínti. Percússi vos ariditáte et rubígine et grándine ómnia ópera mánuum vestrárum, et non fuit in vobis qui reverterétur ad me, dicit Dóminus. Pónite corda vestra ex die ista et in futúrum, a die vicésima et quarta noni mensis, a die qua fundaménta iacta sunt templi Dómini, pónite super cor vestrum. Numquid adhuc semen in hórreo est, et adhuc vínea et ficus et malogranátum et lignum olívæ non portávit fructum? Ex die hac benedícam. "
Et factum est verbum Dómini secúndo ad Aggæum in vicésima et quarta mensis dicens: " Lóquere ad Zoróbabel ducem Iudæ dicens: "Ego movébo cælum páriter et terram et subvértam sólium regnórum et cónteram fortitúdinem regnórum géntium et subvértam quadrígam et ascensóres eius; et descéndent equi et ascensóres eórum, unusquísque percússus gládio fratris sui. In die illo, dicit Dóminus exercítuum, assúmam te, Zoróbabel fili Saláthiel, serve meus, dicit Dóminus, et ponam te quasi signáculum quia te elégi," " dicit Dóminus exercítuum.
r. Germinavérunt campi erémi germen odóris Israel, quia ecce Deus noster cum virtúte véniet, * Et splendor eius cum eo. v. Ecce dominátor Dóminus cum virtúte véniet, * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Tractátu sancti Fulgéntii Ruspénsis epíscopi Contra Fabiánum (Cap. 28, 16-18: CCL 91A, 813-814)
Illud implétur in sacrifíciis offeréndis, quod ipsum Salvatórem nostrum præcepísse beátus testátur Apóstolus, dicens: Quotiescúmque manducábitis panem hunc et cálicem bibétis, mortem Dómini annuntiábitis donec véniat. Ideo ígitur sacrifícium offértur, ut mors Dómini annuntiétur et eius fiat commemorátio, qui pro nobis pósuit ánimam suam. Ipse autem ait: Maiórem hac dilectiónem nemo habet quam ut ánimam suam quis ponat pro amícis suis.
Quóniam ergo Christus pro nobis caritáte mórtuus est, cum témpore sacrifícii commemoratiónem mortis eius fácimus, caritátem nobis tríbui per advéntum Sancti Spíritus postulámus; hoc supplíciter exorántes ut per ipsam caritátem qua pro nobis Christus crucifígi dignátus est, nos quoque grátia Sancti Spíritus accépta, mundum crucifíxum hábere et mundo crucifígi possímus; imitántesque Dómini nostri mortem, sicut Christus quod mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel; quod autem vivit, vivit Deo, étiam nos in novitáte vitæ ambulémus; et múnere caritátis accépto, moriámur peccáto et vivámus Deo. Cáritas enim Dei diffúsa est in córdibus nostris per Spíritum Sanctum qui datus est nobis.
Nam et ipsa participátio córporis et sánguinis Dómini, cum eius panem manducámus et cálicem bíbimus, hoc útique nobis insínuat, ut moriámur mundo et vitam nostram abscónditam habeámus cum Christo in Deo, carnémque nostram crucifigámus cum vítiis et concupiscéntiis suis. Sic fit ut omnes fidéles, qui Deum et próximum díligunt, etiámsi non bibant cálicem corpóreæ passiónis, bibant tamen cálicem domínicæ caritátis; quo inebriáti, membra sua quæ sunt super terram mortíficent et indúti Dóminum Iesum Christum, carnis curam non fáciant in desidériis; neque contempléntur quæ vidéntur, sed quæ non vidéntur.
r. In illo die, suscípiam te servum meum, et ponam te sicut signáculum in conspéctu meo, * Quóniam ego elégi te, dicit Dóminus. v. In tribulatióne invocásti me, et exaudívi te et liberávi te, * Quóniam. v. Glória Patri. * Quóniam.
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.
