De libro Iudith 13, 11-20; 15, 8a.9b-10
Dixit Iudith a longe eis qui custodiébant in portis Betúliæ: "Aperíte, aperíte portam! Nobíscum est Deus, Deus noster, ut fáciat adhuc virtútem in Israel et poténtiam advérsus inimícos nostros, sicut et hódie fecit." Et factum est, ut audiérunt viri civitátis vocem eius, festinavérunt descéndere ad portam civitátis suæ et convocavérunt senióres civitátis. Et concurrérunt omnes a mínimo usque ad magnum, quóniam mirum erat eis illam revérsam esse. Et aperuérunt portam et recepérunt eas et accendéntes ignem ad lumen congyravérunt eam. Quæ dixit ad eos voce magna: "Laudáte Dóminum nostrum, laudáte, quia non ábstulit misericórdiam suam a domo Israel, sed contéruit inimícos nostros per manum meam in hac nocte." Et próferens caput de pera sua osténdit et dixit eis: "Ecce caput Holoférnis príncipis milítiæ virtútis Assyriórum et ecce conópeum in quo recumbébat in ebrietáte sua. Et percússit eum Dóminus in manu féminæ. Et vivit Dóminus, qui custodívit me in via mea qua profécta sum, quóniam sedúxit eum fácies mea in perditiónem eius, et non fecit peccátum mecum in coinquinatiónem et confusiónem." Et obstúpuit omnis pópulus valde et inclinántes se adoravérunt Deum et dixérunt unánimes: "Benedíctus es, Deus noster, qui ad níhilum redegísti inimícos pópuli tui in hodiérna die."
Dixit ad Iudith Ozías: "Benedícta tu es, fília, a Deo excélso præ ómnibus muliéribus quæ sunt super terram. Et benedíctus Dóminus Deus noster, qui creávit cælum et terram, qui diréxit te in vulnus cápitis príncipis inimicórum nostrórum. Quóniam non díscedet laus tua a corde hóminum memorántium virtútis Dei usque in sempitérnum."
"Et fáciat tibi ea Deus in exaltatiónem ætérnam, ut vísitet te in bonis, pro eo quod non pepercísti ánimæ tuæ propter humilitátem géneris nostri, sed prosilísti in ruínam nostram in diréctum ámbulans in conspéctu Dei nostri." Et dixit omnis pópulus: "Fiat, fiat!" Et dixérunt ad Iudith Ióachim sacérdos magnus et senióres filiórum Israel, qui inhabitábant Ierúsalem: "Tu exaltátio Ierúsalem, tu glória magna Israel, tu laus magna géneris nostri. Fecísti ómnia hæc in manu tua, fecísti bona cum Israel, et complácuit in illis Deus. Benedícta esto tu, múlier, apud Deum omnipoténtem in ætérnum tempus." Et dixit omnis pópulus: "Fiat, fiat!"
r. Laudáte Dóminum Deum nostrum, * Qui non deséruit sperántes in se, et in me adimplévit misericórdiam suam quam promísit dómui Israel. v. Confitémini illi quóniam bonus, quóniam in sæculum misericórdia eius. * Qui non deséruit. v. Glória Patri. * Qui non deséruit.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Adhortatióne apostólica Mariális cultus Pauli papæ sexti (Nn. 46-47: AAS 1974, 155)
Rosárium cum in Evangélio innitátur et ad mystérium Incarnatiónis hominúmque redemptiónem tamquam ad centrum pertíneat, orátio est putánda, quæ ad rem christológicam prorsus convértitur. Id enim quod eiúsdem próprium est et peculiáre, vidélicet angélicæ salutatiónis litánica iterátio Ave María in Christi quoque laudem indesinéntem cedit, ad quem ut ad términum extrémum réspicit ángeli núntium ac matris Baptístæ salutátio: Benedíctus fructus ventris tui.
Quin immo, geminátio verbórum Ave María, velut textúra est, in qua mysteriórum contemplátio progréditur. Etenim qui Christus in unaquáque salutatióne angélica significátur, idem ipse est, quem ex órdine enuntiáta mystéria ut Fílium Dei propónunt et ut Fílium Vírginis in Bethleemitáno specu natum, a matre in templo præsentátum, púerum de iis, quæ Patris ipsíus sunt, sollícitum; hóminum Redemptórem in horto factum in agónia, flagéllis cæsum et spinárum serto coronátum, cruce onerátum atque in monte Calváriæ moriéntem; a mórtuis suscitátum ad Patrísque glóriam ascendéntem, dona Spíritus missúrum.
Inter omnes vero constat prístinam quandam fuísse consuetúdinem, plúribus locis ad præsens usque vigéntem, ut proláto in unáquaque angélica salutatióne nómini Iesu clausúla quædam adderétur, cum enuntiáto mystério cohærens, eo quidem consílio ut et contemplátio foverétur et ut mens voci concordáret. Item veheméntius urgens necéssitas est percépta monéndi, prætérquam de eius vi laudatíva ac deprecatória, de álio eleménto eiúsdem Rosárii próprio: de contemplatióne. Quæ si deest, córpori sine ánima Rosárium assimulátur.
r. Beáta progénies unde Christus natus est! * O quam gloriósa est Virgo, quæ cæli Regem génuit! v. Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima. * O quam. v. Glória Patri. * O quam.
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.
