Rom 11:33
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
O Altitúdo divitiárum sapiéntiæ, et sciéntiæ Dei, quam incomprehensibília sunt iudícia eius, et investigábiles viæ eius!
Thanks be to God.
Deo grátias.
Hymn
As fades the glowing orb of day,
To thee, great source of light, we pray;
Blest Three in One, to every heart
Thy beams of life and love impart.
Iam sol recédit ígneus:
Tu, lux perénnis, Únitas,
Nostris, beáta Trínitas,
Infúnde lumen córdibus.
At early dawn, at close of day,
To thee our vows we humbly pay;
May we, mid joys that never end,
With thy bright saints in homage bend.
Te mane laudum cármine,
Te deprecámur véspere;
Dignéris ut te súpplices
Laudémus inter cǽlites.
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Be endless glory, as before
The world began, so evermore.
Amen.

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 eius.
1:50 Et misericórdia eius, 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 eius in sǽcula.
