Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Chapter Hymn Verse

from the Common or Feast

Sir 44:16-17

Behold an high priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found righteous, and in the time of wrath he was made a propitiation.

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est justus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio.

Thanks be to God.

Deo grátias.

Hymn

This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph

Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness

Erst on this feast-day merited to enter

Into his glory.

Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus,

Festa plebs cujus celébrat per orbem,

Hódie lætus méruit secréta

Scándere cæli.

Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,

Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.

While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members,

Quickened his being.

Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,

Sóbrius, castus fuit et quiétus,

Vita dum præsens vegetávit ejus

Córporis artus.

Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,

Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,

Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,

At his petition.

Ob sacrum cujus túmulum frequénter

Membra languéntum modo sanitáti,

Quólibet morbo fúerint graváta,

Restituúntur.

Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,

Chanting his praises with devout affection,

That in his merits we may have a portion,

Now and forever.

Unde nunc noster chorus in honórem

Ipsius, hymnum canit hunc libénter:

Ut piis ejus méritis juvémur

Omne per ævum.

His be the glory, power and salvation,

Who over all things reigneth in the highest,

Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing,

Onely and Trinal.

Amen.

Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,

Qui supra cæli résidens cacúmen,

Tótius mundi máchinam gubérnat

Trinus et unus.

Amen.

The Lord loved him and beautified him.

Amávit eum Dóminus, et ornávit eum.

He clothed him with a robe of glory.

Stolam glóriæ índuit eum.

Canticle of the Blessed Virgin

Luke 1:46-55

1:46 My soul ✠ * doth magnify the Lord.

1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.

1:48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

1:49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.

1:50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.

1:51 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

1:52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.

1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.

1:54 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:

1:55 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

1:46 Magníficat ✠ * ánima mea Dóminum.

1:47 Et exsultávit spíritus meus: * in Deo, salutári meo.

1:48 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.

1:49 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen ejus.

1:50 Et misericórdia ejus, a progénie in progénies: * timéntibus eum.

1:51 Fecit poténtiam in brácchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.

1:52 Depósuit poténtes de sede: * et exaltávit húmiles.

1:53 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.

1:54 Suscépit Israël púerum suum: * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.

1:55 Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros: * Ábraham, et sémini ejus in sǽcula.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
