Agnes beátæ vírginis
natális est, quo spíritum
cælo refúdit débitum,
pio sacráta sánguine.
Matúra martýrio fuit
matúra nondum núptiis;
prodíre quis nuptum putet,
sic læta vultu dúcitur.
Aras nefándi núminis
adolére tædis cógitur;
respóndet: «Haud tales faces
sumpsére Christi vírgines.
Hic ignis extínguit fidem,
hæc flamma lumen éripit;
hic, hic feríte, ut prófluo
cruóre restínguam focos».
Percússa quam pompam tulit!
Nam veste se totam tegens,
terram genu flexo petit
lapsu verecúndo cadens.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
qui natus es de Vírgine,
cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
|
All hail the power of Jesus’ name;
Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
To crown him Lord of all.
Crown him, ye Martyrs of your God,
Who from his altar call;
Praise him whose way of pain ye trod,
And crown him Lord of all.
Hail him, ye heirs of David’s line,
Whom David Lord did call;
The God Incarnate, Man Divine,
And crown him Lord of all.
Let every tribe and every tongue
To him their hearts enthral,
Lift high the universal song,
And crown him Lord of all.

| Psalm 149
|
Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiárum et Deus totíus consolatiónis, qui consolátur nos in omni tribulatióne nostra, ut possímus et ipsi consolári eos, qui in omni pressúra sunt, per exhortatiónem, qua exhortámur et ipsi a Deo; quóniam, sicut abúndant passiónes Christi in nobis, ita per Christum abúndat et consolátio nostra.
|
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, a gentle Father and the God of all consolation, who comforts us in all our sorrows, so that we can offer others, in their sorrows, the consolation that we have received from God ourselves. Indeed, as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so, through Christ, does our consolation overflow.
|
℣. Adiuvábit eam* Deus vultu suo. Adiuvábit.
℟. Deus in médio eius, non commovébitur.* Deus vultu suo. Glória Patri. Adiuvábit.

– God is her help; she will not be moved.
The Lord is with her.
– God is her help; she will not be moved.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
– God is her help; she will not be moved.

De Messia eiusque præcursoreEcce quod concupívi, iam vídeo; quod sperávi, iam téneo: ipsi sum iuncta in cælo, quem in terris pósita, tota devotióne diléxi.
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.
Ecce quod concupívi, iam vídeo; quod sperávi, iam téneo: ipsi sum iuncta in cælo, quem in terris pósita, tota devotióne diléxi.

The Messiah and his forerunnerWhat I desired, I now see; what I hoped for, I now possess. I am united in heaven with the One I served on earth.
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.
What I desired, I now see; what I hoped for, I now possess. I am united in heaven with the One I served on earth.

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.
|
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui infírma mundi éligis ut fórtia quæque confúndas, concéde propítius, ut, qui beátæ Agnétis, mártyris, tuæ natalícia celebrámus, eius in fide constántiam subsequámur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
| Almighty, ever-living God,
you choose what is weak in the world to shame what is strong.
Grant that, as we celebrate the martyrdom of Saint Agnes,
we may follow her example of steadfastness in faith.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
(one) God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
|
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam.
Amen.
| The Lord bless us, and keep us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
