Rector potens, verax Deus,
qui témperas rerum vices,
splendóre mane ínstruis
et ígnibus merídiem,
Exstíngue flammas lítium,
aufer calórem nóxium,
confer salútem córporum
verámque pacem córdium.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Unice,
cum Spíritu Paráclito
regnans per omne sæculum. Amen.

Lord God and Maker of all things,
Creation is upheld by you.
While all must change and know decay,
You are unchanging, always new.
You are man’s solace and his shield,
His Rock secure on which to build.
You are the spirit’s tranquil home,
In you alone is hope fulfilled.
To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit render praise:
Blest Trinity, from age to age
The strength of all our living days.

Ps 70:14-2414Ego autem semper sperábo*
et adíciam super omnem laudem tuam.
15Os meum annuntiábit iustítiam tuam,†
tota die salutáre tuum:*
quæ dinumeráre nescívi.

Dómine, memorábor iustítiæ tuæ solíus.
17Deus, docuísti me a iuventúte mea;*
et usque nunc annuntiábo mirabília tua.
18Et usque in senéctam et sénium,*
Deus, ne derelínquas me,
donec annúntiem bráchium tuum*
generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est.
Poténtia tua 19et iustítia tua, Deus,†
usque in altíssima, qui fecísti magnália:*
Deus, quis símilis tibi?
20Quantas ostendísti mihi tribulatiónes multas et malas;†
íterum vivificásti me*
et de abýssis terræ íterum reduxísti me.
21Multiplicábis magnitúdinem meam*
et convérsus consoláberis me.
22Nam et ego confitébor tibi,†
in psaltério veritátem tuam, Deus meus;*
psallam tibi in cíthara, Sanctus Israel.
23Exsultábunt lábia mea, cum cantávero tibi,*
et ánima mea, quam redemísti;
24sed et lingua mea tota die meditábitur iustítiam tuam,*
cum confúsi et revériti fúerint, qui quærunt mala mihi.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Eúnte Saulo et appropinquánte Damásco, média die súbito de cælo circumfúlsit eum lux copiósa.
| Psalm 70 (71)But I will always have hope.
I will heap praise upon praise of you.
My mouth will proclaim your righteousness,
your saving power all the day long,
and your mercies, impossible to count.
I will turn to the power of the Lord
and recall only your righteousness.
God, from my youth you have taught me;
I am still proclaiming your marvels.
O God, do not abandon me,
now I have come to be old,
before I have proclaimed the strength of your arm
to every generation that is to come.
Your power, O God, and your righteousness
rise to the heights.
You have done great things,
for who, O God, is like you?
How many tribulations you have given me!
How many, and how severe!
But you have brought me to life again,
led me back up from the abyss.
You will lift me on high once again.
You will turn and console me.
I in my turn will proclaim you, my God:
on the lyre I will sing of your faithfulness,
on the harp I will praise you, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will rejoice as I sing;
my soul will rejoice, for you have saved it.
Still I will meditate on your righteousness,
while my enemies who plotted my harm
will be ashamed and disgraced.
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.
While Saul was travelling to Damascus, about midday, just before he reached the city, suddenly there came a light from heaven all around him.

Superabundávit grátia Dómini nostri cum fide et dilectióne, quæ sunt in Christo Iesu. Fidélis sermo et omni acceptióne dignus: Christus Iesus venit in mundum peccatóres salvos fácere; quorum primus ego sum.
|
The grace of our Lord filled me with faith and with the love that is in Christ Jesus. Here is a saying that you can rely on and nobody should doubt: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I myself am the greatest of them.
|
℣. Tu accéndis lucérnam meam, Dómine.
℟. Deus meus, illúmina ténebras meas.
| ℣. Lord, you gave me light on the way.
℟. O God, you lighten my darkness.
|
Oremus.
Deus, qui univérsum mundum beáti Pauli apóstoli prædicatióne docuísti, da nobis, quǽsumus, ut, cuius conversiónem hódie celebrámus, per eius ad te exémpla gradiéntes, tuæ simus mundo testes veritátis.
Per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
Amen.
| Let us pray.
Today, Lord, we celebrate the conversion of Saint Paul,
your chosen vessel for carrying your name to the whole world.
Help us to make our way towards you by following in his footsteps,
and by witnessing to your truth before the men and women of our day.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.
| Let us praise the Lord.
– Thanks be to God.
