Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, Visibilium omnium et invisibilium. Credo in unum Dominum Jesus Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patris, per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria virgine, et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis, sub Pontio Pilatus passus et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum scripturas. Et ascendit in coelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris, et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos, cujus regni non erit finis. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit, qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur, qui locutus est per prophetas. Credo in unam sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam, confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen. |
I believe in one God, the Father almighty maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds. God of God, Ligth of Ligth, True God of True God. Begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made. Who for us men, and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was made incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, he suffered and was buried. And on the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, where he sits at the right hand of the Father, and he shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is glorified and worshipped together, who spoke trough the Prophets. And in one Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And I wait for the Resurrection of the dead, and the Life of the world to come. Amen. |

Magnificat anima mea Dominum, et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae, ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes. Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius. Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum. Fecit potentiam in brachio suo, dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles. Esurientes implevit bonis, et divites dimisit inanes. Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae, sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. (Lc. 1:46-55)

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm, he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever. Glory to the Father, and the son, and the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever will be, world without end. Amen. (Luke 1:46-55)

Exclamans Iesus voce magna ait: Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum. Et inclinato capite, emisit spiritum. (Mt. 27, 45-46; Lc. 23, 46)
|
There was darkness when the Jews crucified Jesus; and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice: My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me? And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. (Matthew 27, 45-46; Luke 23, 46)

Animam Meam Dilectam | |
|
Animam meam dilectam tradidi in manus iniquorum, et facta est mihi haereditas mea, sicut leo in silva: dedit contra me voces adversarious meus: Congregamini, et properate ad devorandum illum. Posuerunt me in deserto solitudinis, et luxit super me omnis terra: Quia non est inventus qui me agnosceret, et faceret bene. Insurrexerunt in me viri absque misericordia, et non pepercerunt animae meae. Quia non est inventus qui me agnosceret, et faceret bene. Animam meam dilectam tradidi in manus iniquorum, et facta est mihi haereditas mea, sicut leo in silva: dedit contra me voces adversarious meus: Congregamini, et properate ad devorandum illum. Posuerunt me in deserto solitudinis, et luxit super me omnis terra: Quia non est inventus qui me agnosceret, et faceret bene. (Jer. 12, 7-11)
|
I delivered the soul that I had loved into the hands of the wicked, and my inheritance is become to me like a lion in the forest. My adversary spoke out against me saying: Come together and make haste to devour him. They placed me in a solitary desert, and all the earth mourned for me: Because there was none that would know me and do good to me. Men without mercy rose up against me, and they spared not my life. Because there was none that would know me and do good to me. I delivered the soul that I had loved into the hands of the wicked, and my inheritance is become to me like a lion in the forest. My adversary spoke out against me saying: Come together and make haste to devour him. They placed me in a solitary desert, and all the earth mourned for me: Because there was none that would know me and do good to me. (Jer. 12, 7-11)
|
Tradiderunt Me | |
|
Tradiderunt me in manus impiorum, et inter iniquos proiecerunt me, et non pepercerunt animae meae: congregati sunt adversum me fortes: Et sicut gigantes steterunt contra me. Alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam. Et sicut gigantes steterunt contra me. |
They delivered me into the hands of the impious, and cast me out amongst the wicked, and spared not my soul: the powerful gathered together against me: And like giants they stood against me. Strangers have risen up against me and the mighty have sought after my soul. And like giants they stood against me. |
Iesum Tradidit Impius | |
|
Iesum tradidt impius summis principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi: Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, ut videret finem. Adduxerunt autem cum ad Caipham principem sacerdotum, ubi scribae et pharisaei convenerant. Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, ut videret finem. (Mt. 26, 14-16; 47-48)
|
The wicked man betrayed Jesus to the chief priests and elders of the people. But Peter followed him afar off, to see the end. And they led him to Caiphas, the chief priest, where the Scribes and Pharisees were met together. But Peter followed him afar off, to see the end. (Matthew 26, 14-16; 47-48)

Caligaverunt Oculi Mei | |
|
Caligaverunt oculi mei a fletu meo: quia elongatus est a me, qui consolabatur me: Videte, omnes populi, si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus. O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus. Caligaverunt oculi mei a fletu meo: quia elongatus est a me, qui consolabatur me: Videte, omnes populi, si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus. (Job 16, 17; Lm. 1, 12)
|
My eyes became dim with my weeping: for he is far from me that consoled me. See, all ye people, if there be sorrow like my sorrow. O all ye that pass by this way, attend and see, if there be sorrow like my sorrow. My eyes became dim with my weeping: for he is far from me that consoled me. See, all ye people, if there be sorrow like my sorrow. (Job 16, 17; Lm. 1, 12)

Recessit Pastor Noster | |
|
Recessit pastor noster, fons aquae vivae, ad cuius transitum sol obscuratus est: Nam et ille captus est, qui captivum tenebat primum hominem: hodie portas mortis et seras pariter Salvator noster disrupit. Destruxit quidem claustra inferni, et subvertit potentias diaboli. Nam et ille captus est, qui captivum tenebat primum hominem: hodie portas mortis et seras pariter Salvator noster disrupit. |
Our shepherd, the fount of the living water, is gone, at whose passing the sun was darkened. For he is taken, who took captive the first man: today our Saviour burst open both the gates and the bolts of death. He destroyed the prisons of hell, and overthrew the might of the devil. For he is taken, who took captive the first man: today our Saviour burst open both the gates and the bolts of death. |
O Vos Omnes | |
|
O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus. Attendite universi populi, et videte dolorem meum Si est dolor similis sicut dolor meus. (Lm. 1, 12)
|
O all ye that pass by the way, attend and see, if there be sorrow like my sorrow. Watch, all ye people, and see my sorrow, if there be sorrow like my sorrow. (Lm. 1, 12)

Ecce Quomodo Moritur | |
|
Ecce quomodo moritur iustus, et nemo percipit corde: et viri iusti tolluntur, et nemo considerat: a facie iniquitatis sublatus est iustus: Et erit in pace memoria eius. Tamquam agnus coram tondente se obmutuit, et non aperuit os suum: de angustia, et de iudicio sublatus est. Et erit in pace memoria eius. Ecce quomodo moritur iustus, et nemo percipit corde: et viri iusti tolluntur, et nemo considerat: a facie iniquitatis sublatus est iustus: Et erit in pace memoria eius. (Is. 57, 1; 53, 7)
|
Behold how the just man dies, and no one takes it to heart; and just men are taken away, and no one cares about it. The just man has been taken away from the face of iniquity, and his memory shall be in peace. He was mute as a lamb before the shearer, and he opened not his mouth: he was taken away from anguish and from judgement, and his memory shall be in peace. Behold how the just man dies, and no one takes it to heart; and just men are taken away, and no one cares about it. The just man has been taken away from the face of iniquity, and his memory shall be in peace. (Is. 57, 1; 53, 7)

Astiterunt Reges | |
|
Astiterunt reges terrae, et principes convenerunt in unum, adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum eius. Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania? Adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum eius. (Ps. 2, 1-2)
|
The king of the earth stood up, and the princes joined together against the Lord and against his Christ. Why did the people rage, and the multitude think mad things? against the Lord and against his Christ. (Ps. 2, 1-2)
|
Aestimatus Sum | |
|
Aestimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum: Factus sum sicut homo sine adiutorio, inter mortuos liber. Posuerunt me in lacu inferiori, in tenebrosis, et in umbra mortis. Factus sum sicut homo sine adiutorio, inter mortuos liber. |
I am counted among those that go down to the dephts: I am as a man without help, free among the dead. They have laid me in the deeper pit, in darkness, and in the shadow of death. I am as a man without help, free among the dead. |
Sepulto Domino | |
|
Sepulto Domino, signatum est monumentum, volventes lapidem ad ostium monumenti: Ponentes milites, qui custodirent illum. Accedentes principes sacerdotum ad Pilatum, petierunt illum. Ponentes milites, qui custodirent illum. Sepulto Domino, signatum est monumentum, volventes lapidem ad ostium monumenti: Ponentes milites, qui custodirent illum. (Mt. 27, 62-66)
|
When the Lord was buried, they sealed up the tomb, rolling away a stone before the entrance to the sepulchre: Placing soldiers to guard it. The chief priests went to Pilate and petitioned him. Placing soldiers to guard it. When the Lord was buried, they sealed up the tomb, rolling away a stone before the entrance to the sepulchre: Placing soldiers to guard it. (Matthew 27, 62-66)
|
|
Peccantem me quotidie, et non me paenitentem, timor mortis conturbat me: quia in inferno nulla est redemptio, miserere mei Deus, et salva me. Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua libera me. |
Sinning daily, without repentance, the fear of death troubles me. For in hell there is no redemption, have mercy on me, O God, and save me. O God, save me for Thy name's sake and deliver me in Thy strength. |

Incipit lamentatio Hieremiae Prophetae Aleph. Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo facta est quasi vidua domina gentium: princeps provinciarum facta est sub tributo. Beth. Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrimae eius in maxillis eius. Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 1, 1-2)
|
Here beginneth the Lamentation of Jeremiah the Prophet. Aleph. How does the city sit alone that was full of people. She has become as a widow, she that was great among nations: the princess among the provinces has become tributary. Beth. She weeps weeping in the night, and her tears lie on her cheeks. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 1, 1-2)
|
|
Vau. Et egressus est a filia Sion omnis decor eius: facti sunt principes eius velut arietes non invenientes pascua: et abierunt absque fortitudine ante faciem subsequentis. Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 1, 6)
|
Vau. And from the daughter of Zion all beauty is departed. Her princes are now as rams that find no pasture and they are gone away without strength before the face of their pursuer. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 1, 6)
|
|
Iod. Manun suam misit hostis ad omnia desiderabilia eius: quia vidit Gentes ingressas sanctuarium suum, de quibus praeceperas ne intrarent in ecclesiam tuam. Caph. Omnis populus eius gemens, et quarens panem: dederunt praetiosa quaeque pro cibo ad refocillandam animan. Vide,Domine, et considera, quoniam facta sum villis! Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 1, 10-11)
|
Jod. The enemy hath stretched out his hand to all her desirable things: for she hath seen the gentiles enter into her sanctuary, of whom thou gavest commandment that they enter not into thy church. Caph. All her people groan: they seek bread. They have given all their treasures for food to refresh the soul. See, O Lord, and consider, for I have become vile. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 1, 10-11)
|
|
Heth. Cogitavit Dominus dissipare murum filiae Sion: tetendit funiculum suum, et non avertit manum suam a perditiones: luxitque antemurale, et murus pariter dissipatus est. Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 2, 8)
|
Heth. The Lord has thought to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he has stretched out his line and has not turned his hand from destruction. He has mourned before the ramparts, and the wall he has likewise demolished. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 2, 8)
|
|
Lamed. Matribus suis dixerunt: Ubi est triticum et vinum? cum deficerent quasi vulnerati in plateis civitatis. Mem. Cui comparabo te? vel cui assimilabo te, filia Ierusalem? cui exaequabo te, et consolabor te, Virgo, filia Sion? Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 2, 12-13)
|
Lamed. They called to their mothers: Where is the corn and the wine? when they swooned as wounded in the streets of the city. Mem. To what will I compare thee, to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I equal thee, to comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 2, 12-13)
|
|
Aleph. Ego vir videns pauperatem meam in virga indignationis eius. Aleph. Me minavit, et adduxit in tenebras, et non in lucem. Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 3, 1-2)
|
Aleph. I am the man who can see my poverty by the rod of his wrath. Aleph. He hath driven and brought me into darkness and not into light. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 3, 1-2)
|
|
Heth. Misericordiae Domini quia non sumus consumpti: quia non defecerunt miserationes eius. Teth. Bonum est vivo, cum portaverit iugum ab adolescentia sua. Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 3, 22,27)
|
Heth. By the mercies of the Lord we are not consumed, because his kindnesses have not failed. Teth. It is good for a man that he hath borne the yoke from his youth. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 3, 22,27)
|
|
Aleph. Quomodo obscuratum est aureum, mutatus est color optimus, dispersi sunt lapides sanctuarii in capite ominum platearum? Beth. Filii Sion inclyti, et amicti auro primo: quomodo reputati sunt in vasa testea, opus manuum figuli? Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 4, 1-2)
|
Aleph. How the gold is dimmed, the finest colour is changed, the stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street. Beth. The nobles sons of Zion that were clothed in the finest gold: how they are steemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 4, 1-2)
|
|
Incipit Oratio Hieremiae Prophetae Recordare Domine qui acciderit nobis: intuere, et respice opprobium nostrum. Haereditas nostra versa est ad alienos: domus nostrae ad extraneos. Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostrae quasi viduae. Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus: ligna nostra pretio comparavimus. Cervibus nostri minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies. Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum. (Lm. 5, 1-5)
|
Here beginneth the Oration of the Prophet Jeremiah. Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. We have drunken our water for money, our wood is sold unto us. Our necks are under persecution: we labour and have no rest. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God. (Lm. 5, 1-5)

Alma Redemptoris Mater quae pervia caeli porta manes et stella maris, succurre cadenti surgere qui curat populo. Tu quae genuisti natura mirante, tuum sanctum Genitorem, Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud Ave, peccatorum miserere. |
Gracious Mother of our Redeeming Lord, You who are Heaven's ever open door And star of the sea, succour your fallen people as they strive once more to arise. You who have brought forth, all Nature in admiration, your Holy Creator, Mother yet Virgin evermore, who from Gabriel's mouth heard the Ave, show your pity unto us sinners. |
|
Ave, Regina coelorum! Ave, domina angelorum, Salve, radix sancta Ex qua mundo lux est orta. Gaude, virgo gloriosa, Super omnes speciosa: Vale, o valde decora, Et pro nobis Christum exora. |
Hail, queen of the heavens, Hail lady of the angels. Hail, holy root, From which the light of the world has sprung. Rejoice, glorious virgin, The loveliest of all. Hail, O most beautiful, And pray to Christ for us for ever. |

Regina caeli laetare, alleluia. Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia. Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia. Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia. |
Be joyful, Queen of heaven, alleluia. For the one you were deemed worthy to bear, alleluia. Is risen, as he said he would, alleluia. Pray to God for us, alleluia. |

Salve regina mater misericordiae vita dulcedo et spes nostra salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exilium ostende. O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria. |
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy; Hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this our vale of tears. Turn then, O most gracious advocate, Your most merciful eyes toward us. And after this our exile, show unto us, The blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O clement, o merciful, O sweet Virgin Mary. |

Vidi aquam egredientem de templo, a latere dextro, alleluia: et omnes ad quos pervenit aqua ista, salvi facti sunt, et dicent, alleluia, alleluia. Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus. Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper, et in saecula seculorum. Amen. |
I saw water proceding out of the temple, on the right side thereof, alleluia: and all they to whom that water came were healed every one, and they say, alleluia, alleluia. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, would without end. Amen. |
|
Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis. Donec ponam inimicos tuos, scabellum pedum tuorum. Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum. Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero ante luciferum genui te. Iuravit Dominus, et non paenitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech. Dominus a dextris tuis, confregit in die irae suae reges. Iudicabit in nationibus, implevit ruinas: conquassabit capita in terra multorum. De torrente in via bibet: propterea exaltabit caput. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper: et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. |
The Lord said unto my Lord: sit thou at my right hand. Until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power in the beauties of holiness: from the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand, shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with ruins: he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: and for an age of ages. Amen. |
|
Laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus. Stantes erunt pedes nostri in atriis tuis Jerusalem. Jerusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas: cujus participatio ejus in id ipsum. Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israel ad confitendum nomine Domini. Quia illic sederunt sedes in judicio, sedes super domum David. Rogate quae ad pacem sunt Jerusalem: et abundantia diligentibus te. Fiat pax in virtute tua: et abundantia in turribus tuis. Propter fratres meos et proximos meos, loquebar pacem de te: Propter domum Domini Dei nostri, quaesivi bona tibi. Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. |
I was glad when they said unto me, We will go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city that is at unity in itself. For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. For there are seats of judgement, even seats over the house of David. O pray for the peace of Jerusalem; and for abundance for those that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will wish thee peace. Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek to do thee good. Glory be to the Father, and to the son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be; world without end. Amen. |
|
Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes: laudate eum, omnes populi: Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia eius: et veritas Domini manet in aeternum. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. |
Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
|
Laudate pueri Dominum: laudate nomen Domini. Sit nomen Domini benedictum, ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum. A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile nomen Domini. Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus et super caelos gloria eius. Quis sicut Dominus, Deus noster, qui in altis habitat, et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra? Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem: Ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui. Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum laetantem. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper: et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. |
Praise the Lord, ye servants: O praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord, from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations and His glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth? He raiseth the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the mire: that he may set him with princes, even the princes of his people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: and for an age of ages. Amen. |

Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi. Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor. Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata. Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitate meas dele. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis. Ne projicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me. Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me. Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur. Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam. Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis. Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, nos despicies. Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua sion: ut aedificentur muri Jerusalem. Tunc accetabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos. |
Have mercy on me, O God in your great mercy. By your multiple compassions wipe out my guilt. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and my sin cleanse me. For I acknowledge my guilt, and my sin is in front of me always. Against you only have I sinned, and done what is evil in front of you: you are justified in your words, sovereign in your judgement. Here is: I was born in guilt, and in sin my mother conceived me. Here is: you love truth: you show me what is unknown and hidden in your wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, I shall be pure: wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness: the bones laid on soil will bound. Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my guilt. A clean heart create for me, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit in my entrails. Cast me not out from your presence, and your holy spirit take not from me. Give me back the joy of your salvation, and confirm in me a spirit of prince. I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners shall return to you. Free me from blood, O God, my saving God: then my tongue will exalt your justice. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. If you want sacrifices, I offer you some: but you are not pleased with holocaust. The sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not despise. In your goodwill, O Lord, do good to Sion by rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will accept due sacrifices, offerings and holocausts: then bullocks will be put on your altar. |
|
Nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam. Nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam. Vanum est vobis ante lucem surgere: surgite postquam sederitis, qui manducatis panem doloris. Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum: ecce haereditas Domini, filii: merces, fructus ventris. Sicut sagittae in manu potentis: ita filii excussorum. Beatus vir qui implevit desiderium suum ex ipsis: non confundetur cum loquetur inimicis suis ni porta. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. |
Unless the Lord builds a house, in vain do those who labour build it. Unless the Lord guards a city, futilely does he who watches guard it. It is pointless for you to get up early: you get up before you have gone to bed, you who eat the bread of misery. For he has granted to those he loves rest: behold an inheritance from the Lord sons: a reward, the fuit of the womb. Like arrows in the hand of a powerful man: such are sons born in your youth. Blessed is the man who has filled his desire with these: he will not be confounded when he speaks with his enemies at the gate. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
|
Super flumina Babylonis, illic sedimus et flevimus, dum recordaremur tui Sion. In salicibus in medio eius, suspendimus organa nostra. Quia illic interrogaverunt nos, qui captivos duxerunt nos, verba cantionum. Et qui abduxerunt nos: Hymnum cantate nobis de canticis Sion. Quomodo cantabimus canticum Domini in terra aliena? |
By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept as we remembered thee O Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For they that led us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? |
|
Ave maris stella Dei Mater alma atque semper virgo felix caeli porta. Summens illud Ave Gabrielis ore: funda nos in pace mutans Hevae nomen. Solve vincla reis profelumen caecis: mala nostra pelle bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem: sumet per te preces qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus Virgo singularis inter omnes mitis: nos culpis solutos mites fac et castos. Vitam praesta puram iter para tutum: ut videntes Iesum semper collaetemur. Sit laus Deo Patri summo Christo decus Spiritui Sancto tribus honorunus. Amen. |
Hail star of the sea God's cherishing mother and, though still a Virgin the blessed entrance-way of heaven. When the salutation Gabriel had spoken: peace was shed upon us Eva's bonds were broken. Bound by Satan's fetters health and vision needing: God will aid and light us at thy gentle pleading. Jesu's tender mother: make thy supplication upon him who chose thee at his Incarnation. That, o matchless maiden passing meek and lowly: thy dear Son may make us blameless, chaste and holy. So, as now we journey aid our weak endeavour: till we gaze on Jesus and rejoice for ever. Father, Son and Spirit three in One confessing: give us equal glory equal praise and blessing. Amen. |

Pange lingua gloriosi Corporis mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi Quem in mundi pretium, Fructus ventris generosi, Rex effudit gentium. Novis datus, nobis natus Ex intacta Virgine, Et in mundo conversatus, Sparso verbi semini: Sui moras incolatus Miro clausit ordine. In supremae nocte coenae Recumbens cum fratribus, Observata lege plene Cibis in legalibus: Cibum turbae duodenae Se dat suis manibus. Verbum caro, panem verum, Verbo carnem efficit, Fitque sanguis Christi merum: Et, si sensus deficit, Ad firmandum cor sincerum Sola fides sufficit. Tantum ergo sacramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui. Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori Genitoque Laus et iubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque compar sit laudatio. Amen. (St. Thomas Aquinas, s. XIII)

Sing, O tongue, of the mystery of the glorious Body and of the precious Blood, which as ransom of the world, the King of all people, fruit of a noble womb, porured forth. Born for us, given to us, from the pure Virgin, and residing in our world, He has sown the seed of the Word, ending his sojourn with a miracle. In the night of that supreme feast, reclining with his brethren, He has observed the obligations of that lawful meal: now with his own hands He gives himself to his twelve companions. With a word, the Word made flesh is true bread and the blood of Christ is wine: and, if our senses fail to comprehend, faith alone will suffice. Let us venerate the Sacrament with bowed head, and may the ancient rules give way to new rites. May faith supplement the defects of our senses. To the Father and his Son be praise and jubilation, homage, honour, virtue and all blessings: and to him who proceeds from both, let equal praise be given. Amen. (St. Thomas Aquinas, XIII century)

Veni Creator Spiritus mentes tuourm visita: imple superna gratia, quae tu creasti pectora. Qui Paraclitus diceris donum Dei altissimi, fons vivus ignis charitas, et spiritalis unctio. Tu septiformis munere, dextrae Dei tu digitus, tu rite promissum Patris, sermone ditans guttura. Accende lumen sensibus, infunde amorem cordibus: infirma nostri corporis virtute firmans perpeti. Hostem repellas longius pacemque dones protimus: ductore sic te praevio vitemus omne noxium. Per te sciamus da Patrem noscamus atque Filium te utriusque Spiritum, credamus omni tempore. Gloria Patri Domino, natoque qui a mortuis surrexit ac Paraclito, in saeculorum saecula. Amen. (Rabanus Maurus, s. IX)

Come Creator Spirit, visit the souls that are thine: fill with heavenly grace the hearts thou hast created. Thou art severally called Paraclete gift of God most high, fount of life, fire, love and the soul's anointing. Seven gifts are thine to give, finger of the Father's right hand art thou, clear promise or the Father, grant the grace of speech to men's tongues. Kindle a light in our minds, infuse our hearts with love, and sustain our bodily infirmity with thy unfailing strength. Scatter our foes afar, grant us always the gift of peace: ever guide us so that we may avoid all that is sinful. Grant that through thee we may know the Father and the Son and may ever believe thee to be the Spirit of the Father and the Son. Glory be to God the Father and to the son, who rose from the dead, and to the Paraclete for ever and ever. Amen. (Rabanus Maurus, IX century)

Vexilla Regis prodeunt: Fulget Crucis mysterium: Quo carne carnis conditor, Suspensus est patibulo. Quo vulneratus insuper, Mucrone diro lanceae Ut nos lavaret crimine, Manavit unda sanguine. Impleta sunt quae concinit David fideli carmine, Dicens: in nationibus Regnavit a ligno Deus. Arbor decora et fulgida, Ornata Regis purpura, Electa digno stipite, Tam sancta membra tangere. Beata cuius brachiis. Saecli pependit pretium, Statera facta corporis, Praedamque tulit tartaris. O Crux ave, spes unica, Hoc Passionis tempore: Auge piis iustitiam, Reisque dona veniam. Te summa Deus Trinitas, Collaudet omnis spiritus: Quos per Crucis mysterium, Salvas, rege per saecula. Amen. (Venantius Fortunatus, s. VI)

The banners of the King advance: the mystery of the Cross shines forth, He, the creator of all flesh, flesh himself, was hanged. He whose side was wounded by the cruel point of the spear, that he might wash away our sins, gave forth water and blood. It is fulfilled in David's true song that prophesied, saying: among the nations God has reigned from a tree. O tree of light and beauty, adorned with royal purple, chosen from stock worthy to touch the sacred limbs. The blessed tree, upon whose branches hung the ransom of the world, was made the balance for his body, and bore away the spoils of hell. Hail, O Cross, our only hope. In this Passiontide increase justice to the pious. Grant forgiveness to sinners. God most high Trinity, may every soul praise you: for ever reign over those you save through the mystery of the Cross. Amen. (Venantius Fortunatus, VI century)

Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, quia visitavit, et fecit redemptionem plebis suae. Et erexit cornu salutis nobis: in domo David, pueri sui. Sicut locutus est per os sanctorum, qui a saeculo sunt prophetarum ejus. Salutem ex inimicis nostris, et de manu omnium qui oderunt nos. Ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris: et memorari testamenti sui sancti. Jusjurandum, quod juravit ad Abraham, patrem nostrum, daturum se nobis. ut sine timore, de manu inimicorum liberati, serviamus illi, In sanctitate, et justitia coram ipso, omnibus dierum nostris. Et tu, puer, Propheta Altissimi vocaberis: praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias ejus, Ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi ejus: in remissionem peccatorum eorum, Per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri: in quibus visitavit nos, oriens ex alto, Illuminare his, qui in tenebris, et in umbra mortis sedent ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis. (Lc. 1, 68-79)

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for he hath visited and redeemed his people. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David. And he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant. The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, that he would grant unto us: That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his way, To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. (Luke 1, 68-79)

Popule meus, quid feci tibi? Aut in quo contristavi te? Responde mihi. Quia eduxi te de terra Aegypti: parasti Crucem Salvatori tuo. Agios, o Theos. Sanctus Deus. Agios ischyros. Sanctus fortis. Agios athanatos, eleison imas. Sanctus et immortalis, miserere nobis. Quia eduxi te per desertum quadraginta annis, et manna cibavi te, et introduxi in terram satis optimam: parasti Crucem Salvatori tuo. Agios o Theos.... Ego proper te flagellavi Aegyptum cum primogeniti suis: et tu me flagellatum tradidisti. Popule meus.... Ego te eduxi de Aegypto, demerso Pharaone in mare rubrum: et tu me tradidisti principibus sacerdotum. Popule meus.... Ego ante te aperui mare: te tu aperuisti lancea latus meum. Popule meus.... Ego ante te praeivi in columna nubis: et tu me duxisti ad praetorium Pilati. Popule meus.... |
My people, what have I done to you, and how have you grieved you? Answer me. Because I led you from the land of Egypt, you have prepared a Cross for your Saviour. O holy God. Holy God. God holy and strong. God holy and strong. God holy and immortal, gave pity on us. God holy and immortal, gave pity on us. Because I have led you across the desert for forty years, and nourished you with manna, and you have entered into a promised land, you have prepared a Cross for your Saviour. O holy God.... I have scourged Egypt with its first-born for love of you, and you have delivered me to be scourged. My people.... I have brought you out of Egypt, and drowned Pharoah in the Red Sea, and you have delivered me to the high priests. My people.... I have parted the sea before you, and you have pierced my side with a spear. My people.... I have come before you in a column of cloud, and you have taken me into the judgement hall of Pilate. My people.... |

Lauda Sion Salvatorem, lauda ducem et pastorem, in hymnis et canticis. Quantum potes, tantum aude: quia major omni laude, nec laudare sufficis. Sit laus plena, sit sonora, sit iucunda, sit decora mentis iubilatio. Quod non capis, quod non vides, animosa firmat fides, praeter rerum ordinem. Bone pastor, panis vere, Iesu nostri miserere: Tu nos pasce, nos tuere, tu nos bona fac videre in terra viventium. (St. Thomas Aquinas, s. XIII)
|
Sion, praise thy Saviour, give praises to thy guide and pastor in hymns and songs. Praise him as strongly and boldly as you can since he is greater than all praise which can never be sufficient. Let praise be full, let it be sonorous, let it be joyful, le it be graceful, let our souls rejoice. What thou canst not see or understand must eagerly be affirmed by faith outside the natural order of things. O good shepherd, true bread, O Jesus, have mercy on us: O thou support us and guard us, make us see good things in the land of the living. (St. Thomas Aquinas, XIII century)
