Quem terra, pontus, ǽthera
colunt, adórant, prǽdicant
trinam regéntem máchinam,
claustrum Maríæ báiulat.
Cui luna, sol et ómnia
desérviunt per témpora,
perfúsa cæli grátia
gestant puéllæ víscera.
Beáta mater múnere,
cuius, supérnus ártifex,
mundum pugíllo cóntinens,
ventris sub arca clausus est.
Beáta cæli núntio,
fecúnda Sancto Spíritu,
desiderátus géntibus
cuius per alvum fusus est.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
qui natus es de Vírgine,
cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Hail, of paradise the portal!
Tree of Life regained, immortal;
Whence, through thee, all sweetness floweth,
And salvation’s fruit still groweth.
Thou our hearts aright inclinest,
On our life’s way brightly shinest;
Us from God’s just anger savest,
Who to man our Saviour gavest.
Hail! Blest shrine of God the Father,
Thither sinners haste to gather;
Pardon for their guilt obtaining,
Freedom from the foe’s enchaining;
Strength from thee the weak shall borrow,
Comfort, thou, of all who sorrow;
From the final wrath tremendous,
Mother of our Christ, defend us.
Star of ocean! Mother fairest!
Who the name of Mary bearest;
In thy bright illumination
Pales each star and constellation.
Hail, O Father! Hail, sweet Mother!
Hail, O Son of God, our Brother!
Let the hosts of heaven adore thee,
Every spirit bow before thee.

Liberalitas Philippensium in PaulumFratres: 10Gavísus sum autem in Dómino veheménter quóniam tandem aliquándo refloruístis pro me sentíre, sicut et sentiebátis, opportunitáte autem carebátis. 11Non quasi propter penúriam dico, ego enim dídici, in quibus sum, suffíciens esse. 12Scio et humiliári, scio et abundáre; ubíque et in ómnibus institútus sum et satiári et esuríre et abundáre et penúriam pati. 13Omnia possum in eo, qui me confórtat.
14Verúmtamen bene fecístis communicántes tribulatióni meæ. 15Scitis autem et vos, Philippénses, quod in princípio evangélii, quando proféctus sum a Macedónia, nulla mihi ecclésia communicávit in ratióne dati et accépti nisi vos soli; 16quia et Thessalónicam et semel et bis in usum mihi misístis. 17Non quia quæro datum, sed requíro fructum, qui abúndet in ratiónem vestram. 18Accépi autem ómnia et abúndo; replétus sum accéptis ab Epaphrodíto, quæ misístis, odórem suavitátis, hóstiam accéptam, placéntem Deo. 19Deus autem meus implébit omne desidérium vestrum secúndum divítias suas in glória in Christo Iesu. 20Deo autem et Patri nostro glória in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
21Salutáte omnem sanctum in Christo Iesu. Salútant vos, qui mecum sunt, fratres. 22Salútant vos omnes sancti, máxime autem, qui de Cǽsaris domo sunt.
23Grátia Dómini Iesu Christi cum spíritu vestro. Amen.

The Philippians’ kindness towards PaulIt is a great joy to me, in the Lord, that at last you have shown some concern for me again; though of course you were concerned before, and only lacked an opportunity. I am not talking about shortage of money: I have learnt to manage on whatever I have, I know how to be poor and I know how to be rich too. I have been through my initiation and now I am ready for anything anywhere: full stomach or empty stomach, poverty or plenty. There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength. All the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships. In the early days of the Good News, as you people of Philippi well know, when I left Macedonia, no other church helped me with gifts of money. You were the only ones; and twice since my stay in Thessalonika you have sent me what I needed. It is not your gift that I value; what is valuable to me is the interest that is mounting up in your account. Now for the time being I have everything that I need and more: I am fully provided now that I have received from Epaphroditus the offering that you sent, a sweet fragrance – the sacrifice that God accepts and finds pleasing. In return my God will fulfil all your needs, in Christ Jesus, as lavishly as only God can. Glory to God, our Father, for ever and ever. Amen.
My greetings to every one of the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send their greetings. All the saints send their greetings, especially those of the imperial household. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

℟. I know what it is to be in need, and what it is to have more than enough. I am content whether I am poor or hungry, whether I have too much or too little.* I have the strength to face anything through the power that Christ gives me.
℣. I am quite content with weakness and hardship, for the sake of Christ.* I have the strength to face anything through the power that Christ gives me.

Maria typum Ecclesiæ præbetBeáta Virgo divínæ maternitátis dono et múnere, quo cum Fílio redemptóre unítur, suísque singuláribus grátiis et munéribus, étiam cum Ecclésia íntime coniúngitur; Deípara est Ecclésiæ typus, ut iam docébat sanctus Ambrósius, in órdine scílicet fídei, caritátis et perféctæ cum Christo uniónis.
In mystério enim Ecclésiæ, quæ et ipsa iure mater vocátur et virgo, Beáta Virgo María præcéssit, eminénter et singuláriter tum vírginis tum matris exémplar præbens. Credens enim et obœ́diens, ipsum Fílium Patris in terris génuit, et quidem viri néscia, Spíritu Sancto obumbráta, tamquam nova Eva, non serpénti antíquo, sed Dei núntio præstans fidem, nullo dúbio adulterátam. Fílium autem péperit, quem Deus pósuit primogénitum in multis frátribus, fidélibus nempe, ad quos gignéndos et educándos matérno amóre cooperátur.
Iamvéro Ecclésia, eius arcánam sanctitátem contémplans et caritátem ímitans, voluntatémque Patris fidéliter adímplens, per verbum Dei fidéliter suscéptum et ipsa fit mater; prædicatióne enim ac baptísmo fílios, de Spíritu Sancto concéptos et ex Deo natos, ad vitam novam et immortálem génerat. Et ipsa est virgo, quæ fidem Sponso datam íntegre et pure custódit, et ímitans Dómini sui matrem, virtúte Spíritus Sancti, virgináliter servat íntegram fidem, sólidam spem, sincéram caritátem.
Dum autem Ecclésia in Beatíssima Vírgine ad perfectiónem iam pertíngit, qua sine mácula et ruga exsístit, christifidéles adhuc nitúntur, ut devincéntes peccátum in sanctitáte crescant; ideóque óculos suos ad Maríam attóllunt, quæ toti electórum communitáti tamquam exémplar virtútum præfúlget. Ecclésia de ea pie recógitans eámque in lúmine Verbi hóminis facti contémplans, in summum incarnatiónis mystérium venerabúnda penítius intrat, Sponsóque suo magis magísque conformátur.
María enim, quæ, in históriam salútis íntime ingréssa, máxima fídei plácita in se quodámmodo unit et revérberat, dum prædicátur et cólitur, ad Fílium suum eiúsque sacrifícium atque ad amórem Patris credéntes ádvocat. Ecclésia vero, glóriam Christi prósequens, præcélso suo typo simílior effícitur, contínuo progrédiens in fide, spe et caritáte, ac divínam voluntátem in ómnibus quærens et óbsequens.
Unde étiam in ópere suo apostólico Ecclésia ad eam mérito réspicit, quæ génuit Christum, ídeo de Spíritu Sancto concéptum et de Vírgine natum, ut per Ecclésiam in córdibus quoque fidélium nascátur et crescat. Quæ Virgo in sua vita exémplum éxstitit matérni illíus afféctus, quo cuncti, in missióne apostólica Ecclésiæ cooperántes, ad regenerándos hómines animéntur opórtet.

Through Mary, the Father's blessing has shone forth on mankindHail, full of grace, the Lord is with you. What joy could surpass this, O Virgin Mother? What grace can excel that which God has granted to you alone? What could be imagined more dazzling or more delightful? Before the miracle we witness in you, all else pales; all else is inferior when compared with the grace you have been given. All else, even what is most desirable, must take second place and enjoy a lesser importance.
The Lord is with you. Who would dare challenge you? You are God’s mother; who would not immediately defer to you and be glad to accord you a greater primacy and honour? For this reason, when I look upon the privilege you have above all creatures, I extol you with the highest praise: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you. On your account joy has not only graced men, but is also granted to the powers of heaven.
Truly, you are blessed among women. For you have changed Eve’s curse into a blessing; and Adam, who hitherto lay under a curse, has been blessed because of you.
Truly, you are blessed among women. Through you the Father’s blessing has shone forth on mankind, setting them free of their ancient curse.
Truly, you are blessed among women, because through you your forebears have found salvation. For you were to give birth to the Saviour who was to win them salvation.
Truly, you are blessed among women, for without seed you have borne, as your fruit, him who bestows blessings on the whole world and redeems it from that curse that made it sprout thorns.
Truly, you are blessed among women, because, though a woman by nature, you will become, in reality, God’s mother. If he whom you are to bear is truly God made flesh, then rightly do we call you God’s mother. For you have truly given birth to God.
Enclosed within your womb is God himself. He makes his abode in you and comes forth from you like a bridegroom, winning joy for all and bestowing God’s light on all.
You, O Virgin, are like a clear and shining sky, in which God has set his tent. From you he comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber. Like a giant running his course, he will run the course of his life which will bring salvation for all who will ever live, and extending from the highest heavens to the end of them, it will fill all things with divine warmth and with life-giving brightness.

Concéde nos fámulos tuos, quǽsumus, Dómine Deus, perpétua mentis et córporis sanitáte gaudére et, gloriósa Beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis intercessióne, a præsénti liberári tristítia et ætérna pérfrui lætítia.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,

| Let us pray.
Grant us, Lord, we pray,
the joy of continued health of mind and body;
and through the intercession of Blessed Mary, ever-virgin,
free us of this present sadness
and fill us with eternal joy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.

– Thanks be to God.
