Ad Laudes matutinas &
vesperas: novus
Bernárde,
gemma cælitum,
laudes,
tibi quas pángimus,
in
nostra verte gáudia
salútis
atque múnera.
Te
Christus ussit íntimo
dilectiónis
vúlnere
Sponsæque
fecit próvidus
scutum,
colúmnam, lámpada.
Almus
dedit te Spíritus
os
veritátis prófluum
et
angelórum pábuli
arcána
mella próferens.
Amóris
æstu cándidi
te
Virgo Mater ímbuit,
quam
nemo te facúndius
vel
prædicávit áltius.
Te
quæsiérunt árbitrum
reges,
magístri, præsules,
cultórque
solitúdinis
fama
replésti sæculum.
Sit
Trinitáti glória,
quæ
se vidéndam lárgiens,
tecum
benígna gáudio
nos
det perénni pérfrui. Amen.
O Bernard, precious gem among those who dwell in
heaven, reward the praises, which we sing to you in our joy with gifts of salvation. Christ inflamed you with a wound of interior love, and in his
providence made you the shield, the pillar and lamp of his bride, the Church.
The life-giving Spirit gave you a fluent voice to speak the truth and reveal
sweetly the hidden things of the angels’
food. The Virgin Mother filled you with bright fervor of love, whom no one
preached more eloquently and more deeply than you. Kings, judges and
prelates sought your counsel, lover of
solitude, yet you filled the world with your fame. To the Trinity be glory, who
granted you to see himself; with you kindly grant that we may enjoy him with
eternal happiness. Amen.
