O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
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,
world without end.

O vir beáte, Apóstolis
comes labórum sédule
adiútor atque múneris,
laudes precésque súscipe.
Christi per illos núntios
exórta sunt lætíssima
et veritátis sǽcula
et pacis atque gáudii.
Assúmptus et tu cǽlitus
ad tanta consors póndera,
compar nitéscis glória
potentiáque prómines.
Tu, seminátor lúminis,
fac sole Christi vívido
virére ubíque gérmina
cæli replénda ad hórrea.
Simúlque cum primóribus
summo astitúrus Iúdici,
da nostra solvi débita,
nos da fovéri grátia.
Sit Trinitáti glória,
quæ præstet in cæléstibus
nos eius omni témpore
gaudére tecum prǽmiis. Amen.

The eternal gifts of Christ the King,
The Apostles’ glory let us sing;
And all with hearts of gladness raise
Due hymns of thankful love and praise.
For they the Church’s princes are,
Triumphant leaders in the war,
In heavenly courts a warrior band,
True lights to lighten every land.
Theirs is the steadfast faith of saints,
And hope that never yields nor faints,
The love of Christ in perfect glow
That lays the prince of this world low.
In them the Father’s glory shone,
In them the will of God the Son,
In them exults the Holy Ghost,
Through them rejoice the heavenly host.

Divisiones gratiarum in uno corporeFratres: 1Obsecro vos ego vinctus in Dómino, ut digne ambulétis vocatióne, qua vocáti estis, 2cum omni humilitáte et mansuetúdine, cum longanimitáte, supportántes ínvicem in caritáte, 3sollíciti serváre unitátem spíritus in vínculo pacis; 4unum corpus et unus Spíritus, sicut et vocáti estis in una spe vocatiónis vestræ; 5unus Dóminus, una fides, unum baptísma; 6unus Deus et Pater ómnium, qui super omnes et per ómnia et in ómnibus.
7Unicuíque autem nostrum data est grátia secúndum mensúram donatiónis Christi. 8Propter quod dicit:
«Ascéndens in altum captívam duxit captivitátem,
dedit dona homínibus».
9Illud autem «ascéndit» quid est, nisi quia et descéndit in inferióres partes terræ? 10Qui descéndit, ipse est et qui ascéndit super omnes cælos, ut impléret ómnia.
11Et ipse dedit quosdam quidem apóstolos, quosdam autem prophétas, álios vero evangelístas, álios autem pastóres et doctóres 12ad instructiónem sanctórum in opus ministérii, in ædificatiónem córporis Christi, 13donec occurrámus omnes in unitátem fídei et agnitiónis Fílii Dei, in virum perféctum, in mensúram ætátis plenitúdinis Christi, 14ut iam non simus párvuli fluctuántes et circumácti omni vento doctrínæ in fallácia hóminum, in astútia ad circumventiónem erróris; 15veritátem autem faciéntes in caritáte crescámus in illum per ómnia, qui est caput Christus, 16ex quo totum corpus compáctum et conéxum per omnem iunctúram subministratiónis secúndum operatiónem in mensúra uniuscuiúsque partis augméntum córporis facit in ædificatiónem sui in caritáte.

The body of Christ is built up in unityI, the prisoner in the Lord, implore you to lead a life worthy of your vocation. Bear with one another charitably, in complete selflessness, gentleness and patience. Do all you can to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together. There is one Body, one Spirit, just as you were all called into one and the same hope when you were called. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God who is Father of all, over all, through all and within all.
Each one of us, however, has been given his own share of grace, given as Christ allotted it. It was said that he would:
When he ascended to the height, he captured prisoners,
he gave gifts to men.
When it says, ‘he ascended’, what can it mean if not that he descended right down to the lower regions of the earth? The one who rose higher than all the heavens to fill all things is none other than the one who descended. And to some, his gift was that they should be apostles; to some, prophets; to some, evangelists; to some, pastors and teachers; so that the saints together make a unity in the work of service, building up the body of Christ. In this way we are all to come to unity in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God, until we become the perfect Man, fully mature with the fullness of Christ himself.
Then we shall not be children any longer, or tossed one way and another and carried along by every wind of doctrine, at the mercy of all the tricks men play and their cleverness in practising deceit. If we live by the truth and in love, we shall grow in all ways into Christ, who is the head by whom the whole body is fitted and joined together, every joint adding its own strength, for each separate part to work according to its function. So the body grows until it has built itself up, in love.

Prædicatio veritatisEcclésia, per univérsum orbem usque ad fines terræ dissemináta, et ab Apóstolis et a discípulis eórum accépit eam fidem, quæ est in unum Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, qui fecit cælum et terram, et mare, et ómnia quæ in eis sunt; et in unum Iesum Christum Fílium Dei, incarnátum pro nostra salúte; et in Spíritum Sanctum, qui per prophétas prædicávit dispositiónes Dei, et advéntum, et eam quæ est ex Vírgine generatiónem, et passiónem, et resurrectiónem a mórtuis, et in carne in cælos ascensiónem dilécti Iesu Christi Dómini nostri, et de cælis in glória Patris advéntum eius, ad recapitulánda univérsa, et resuscitándam omnem carnem humáni géneris, ut Christo Iesu Dómino nostro et Deo et salvatóri et regi, secúndum plácitum Patris invisíbilis, omne genu curvet cæléstium et terréstrium et infernórum et omnis lingua confiteátur ei, et iudícium iustum in ómnibus fáciat.
Hanc prædicatiónem cum accéperit, et hanc fidem, quemádmodum prædíximus, Ecclésia, et quidem in univérsum mundum dissemináta, diligénter custódit, quasi unam domum inhábitans; et simíliter credit iis, vidélicet quasi unam ánimam habens, et unum cor, et consonánter hæc prǽdicat, et docet, et tradit, quasi unum póssidens os. Nam, etsi in mundo loquélæ dissímiles sunt, sed tamen virtus traditiónis una et éadem est.
Et neque hæ quæ in Germánia sunt fundátæ Ecclésiæ áliter credunt aut áliter tradunt, neque hæ quæ in Hibériis sunt, neque hæ quæ in Celtis, neque hæ quæ in Oriénte, neque hæ quæ in Ægýpto, neque hæ quæ in Líbya, neque hæ quæ in médio mundi constitútæ; sed sicut sol, creatúra Dei, in univérso mundo unus et idem est, sic et prædicátio veritátis ubíque lucet, et illúminat omnes hómines, qui volunt ad cognitiónem veritátis perveníre.
Et neque is qui valde prǽvalet in sermóne, ex iis qui præsunt Ecclésiis, ália, quam hæc sunt, dicet (nemo enim super magístrum est); neque infírmus in dicéndo deminorábit traditiónem. Cum enim una et éadem fides sit, neque is qui multum de ea potest dícere ámpliat, neque is qui minus, demínorat.

Preaching truthThe Church, which has spread everywhere, even to the ends of the earth, received the faith from the apostles and their disciples. By faith, we believe in one God, the almighty Father who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became man for our salvation. And we believe in the Holy Spirit who through the prophets foretold God’s plan: the coming of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ, his birth from the Virgin, his passion, his resurrection from the dead, his ascension into heaven, and his final coming from heaven in the glory of his Father, to recapitulate all things and to raise all men from the dead, so that, by the decree of his invisible Father, he may make a just judgement in all things and so that every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth to Jesus Christ our Lord and our God, our Saviour and our King, and every tongue confess him.
The Church, spread throughout the whole world, received this preaching and this faith and now preserves it carefully, dwelling as it were in one house. Having one soul and one heart, the Church holds this faith, preaches and teaches it consistently as though by a single voice. For though there are different languages, there is but one tradition.
The faith and the tradition of the churches founded in Germany are no different from those founded among the Spanish and the Celts, in the East, in Egypt, in Libya and elsewhere in the Mediterranean world. Just as God’s creature, the sun, is one and the same the world over, so also does the Church’s preaching shine everywhere to enlighten all men who want to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Now of those who speak with authority in the churches, no preacher however forceful will utter anything different – for no one is above the Master – nor will a less forceful preacher diminish what has been handed down. Since our faith is everywhere the same, no one who can say more augments it, nor can anyone who says less diminish it.

℟. Misit me Christus evangelizáre, non in sapiéntia verbi, ut non evacuétur crux Christi.* Verbum enim crucis pereúntibus quidem stultítia est, his autem qui salvi fiunt, virtus Dei est, allelúia.
℣. Quia non cognóvit mundus per sapiéntiam Deum, plácuit Deo per stultítiam prædicatiónis salvos fácere credéntes.* Verbum.

℟. Christ sent me to preach the Good News, but not in the terms of philosophy in which the crucifixion of Christ cannot be expressed.* To those who court their own ruin, the message of the cross is but folly; to us who are on the way to salvation, it is the evidence of God’s power, alleluia.
℣. The world, with all its wisdom, could not find its way to God; and now God would use a foolish thing, our preaching, to save those who will believe in it.* To those who court their own ruin, the message of the cross is but folly; to us who are on the way to salvation, it is the evidence of God’s power, alleluia.

et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.

In te, Dómine, sperávi:*
non confúndar in ætérnum.

God, we praise you; Lord, we proclaim you!
You, the Father, the eternal –
all the earth venerates you.
All the angels, all the heavens, every power –
The cherubim, the seraphim –
unceasingly, they cry:
“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts:
heaven and earth are full of the majesty of your glory!”
The glorious choir of Apostles –
The noble ranks of prophets –
The shining army of martyrs –
all praise you.
Throughout the world your holy Church proclaims you.
– Father of immeasurable majesty,
– True Son, only-begotten, worthy of worship,
– Holy Spirit, our Advocate.
You, Christ:
– You are the king of glory.
– You are the Father’s eternal Son.
– You, to free mankind, did not disdain a Virgin’s womb.
– You defeated the sharp spear of Death, and opened the kingdom of heaven to those who believe in you.
– You sit at God’s right hand, in the glory of the Father.
– You will come, so we believe, as our Judge.
And so we ask of you: give help to your servants, whom you set free at the price of your precious blood.
Number them among your chosen ones in eternal glory.
The final part of the hymn may be omitted:
Bring your people to safety, Lord, and bless those who are your inheritance.
Rule them and lift them high for ever.
Day by day we bless you, Lord: we praise you for ever and for ever.
Of your goodness, Lord, keep us without sin for today.
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us.
Let your pity, Lord, be upon us, as much as we trust in you.
In you, Lord, I trust: let me never be put to shame.
