Hymn

O blest Creator of the light,

Who mak’st the day with radiance bright,

And o’er the forming world didst call

The light from chaos first of all;

Lucis Creátor óptime,

Lucem diérum próferens,

Primórdiis lucis novæ,

Mundi parans oríginem:

Whose wisdom joined in meet array

The morn and eve, and named them day:

Night comes with all its darkling fears;

Regard thy people’s prayers and tears.

Qui mane junctum vésperi

Diem vocári prǽcipis:

Tetrum chaos illábitur,

Audi preces cum flétibus.

Lest, sunk in sin, and whelmed with strife,

They lose the gift of endless life;

While thinking but the thoughts of time,

They weave new chains of woe and crime.

Ne mens graváta crímine,

Vitæ sit exsul múnere,

Dum nil perénne cógitat,

Seséque culpis ílligat.

But grant them grace that they may strain

The heavenly gate and prize to gain:

Each harmful lure aside to cast,

And purge away each error past.

Cælórum pulset íntimum,

Vitále tollat prǽmium:

Vitémus omne nóxium:

Purgémus omne péssimum.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Únice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sǽculum.

As incense in thy sight.

Sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo.

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.

Prayer

At the letter N., the name of the Titular of the local church is said, if the title is not a divine person or a mystery of the Lord, and when the Office or a Commemoration was not already said of the Saint, and when the name is not already in the prayer. The names of the holy Angels and of St. John the Baptist, if they are titulars, are said before the name of St. Joseph. In all these cases, the words «blessed N.» are omitted.

In hac oratione, ad litteram N. exprimitur nomen Titularis propriæ ecclesiæ, dummodo Titulus non sit Persona divina vel Mysterium Domini, aut de ipso ratione Festi factum non fuerit Officium vel Commemoratio, aut illius nomen non sit in eadem Suffragii Oratione expressum; ac nomina sanctorum Angelorum et sancti Joannis Baptistæ, si Titulares fuerint, præponuntur nomini sancti Joseph. In hisce autem omnibus casibus omittuntur verba «atque beáto N.»

Let us pray.

Orémus.

O Lord, we ask thee to save us from dangers to mind and to body: and, by the intercession of the blessed and glorious Virgin Mother of God, blessed Joseph, the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, blessed N. and all the Saints, to eliminate all enmity and errors, that thy Church may safely serve thee in freedom.

A cunctis nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, mentis et córporis defénde perículis: et, intercedénte beáta et gloriósa semper Vírgine Dei Genitríce María, cum beáto Joseph, beátis Apóstolis tuis Petro et Paulo, atque beáto N. et ómnibus Sanctis, salútem nobis tríbue benígnus et pacem; ut, destrúctis adversitátibus et erróribus univérsis, Ecclésia tua secúra tibi sérviat libertáte.

Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
