Anguláris fundaméntum
lapis Christus missus est,
qui paríetum compáge
in utróque néctitur,
quem Sion sancta suscépit,
in quo credens pérmanet.
Omnis illa Deo sacra
et dilécta cívitas,
plena módulis in laude
et canóre iúbilo,
trinum Deum unicúmque
cum fervóre prǽdicat.
Hoc in templo, summe Deus,
exorátus ádveni,
et cleménti bonitáte
precum vota súscipe;
largam benedictiónem
hic infúnde iúgiter.
Hic promereántur omnes
petíta acquírere
et adépta possidére
cum sanctis perénniter,
paradísum introíre
transláti in réquiem.
Glória et honor Deo
usquequáque altíssimo,
una Patri Filióque
atque Sancto Flámini,
quibus laudes et potéstas
per ætérna sǽcula. Amen.

Blessed city, heavenly Zion,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones up-builded
in the height of heaven above,
now, with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride to earth dost move!
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the Church in one,
holy Zion’s help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray;
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One:
One in might, and One in glory,
while eternal ages run.

De Messia eiusque præcursoreZachǽe, festínans descénde, quia hódie in domo tua opórtet me manére. At ille festínans descéndit et suscépit illum gaudens in domum suam. Hódie huic dómui salus a Deo facta est.
Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel,*
quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ
et eréxit cornu salútis nobis*
in domo David púeri sui,
sicut locútus est per os sanctórum,*
qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum eius,
salútem ex inimícis nostris*
et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos;
ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris*
et memorári testaménti sui sancti,
iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,*
datúrum se nobis,
ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum liberáti,*
serviámus illi
in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso*
ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis:*
præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius,
ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius*
in remissiónem peccatórum eórum,
per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri,*
in quibus visitábit nos óriens ex alto,
illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent*
ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Zachǽe, festínans descénde, quia hódie in domo tua opórtet me manére. At ille festínans descéndit et suscépit illum gaudens in domum suam. Hódie huic dómui salus a Deo facta est.

The Messiah and his forerunner‘Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay with you today.’ He came down with great haste and received the Lord joyfully in his house. Today salvation has come from God to this house.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption.
He has raised up the sign of salvation
in the house of his servant David,
as he promised through the mouth of the holy ones,
his prophets through the ages:
to rescue us from our enemies
and all who hate us,
to take pity on our fathers,
to remember his holy covenant
and the oath he swore to Abraham our father,
that he would give himself to us,
that we could serve him without fear
– freed from the hands of our enemies –
in uprightness and holiness before him,
for all of our days.
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High:
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his path,
to let his people know their salvation,
so that their sins may be forgiven.
Through the bottomless mercy of our God,
one born on high will visit us
to give light to those who walk in darkness,
who live in the shadow of death;
to lead our feet in the path of peace.
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.
Amen.
‘Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay with you today.’ He came down with great haste and received the Lord joyfully in his house. Today salvation has come from God to this house.

Since we are living stones in the temple of Christ’s body, let us pray to the Father for his beloved Church and profess our faith in her.
– This is the house of God and the gate of heaven.
Father, cleanse the vineyard of your Church,
watch over it with care and cultivate it with love, until it fills the world and is wonderful to see.
– This is the house of God and the gate of heaven.
Eternal shepherd, protect and extend the sheepfold of your Church;
let there be one flock, with your Son its only shepherd.
– This is the house of God and the gate of heaven.
Almighty Father, sow your word in the field of the Church;
produce its crop a hundredfold for your eternal harvest.
– This is the house of God and the gate of heaven.
God of all wisdom, sanctify your house and all the members of your family;
let men see the heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, the bride adorned with glory.
– This is the house of God and the gate of heaven.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
| Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
