Ad Laudes matutinas
& ad vesperas: Petrus Damianus
Anglórum
iam apóstolus,
nunc
angelórum sócius,
ut
tunc, Gregóri, géntibus,
succúrre
iam credéntibus.
Tu
largas opum cópias
omnémque
mundi glóriam
spernis,
ut inops ínopem
Iesum
sequáris príncipem.
Te
celsus Christus póntifex
suæ
præfert Ecclésiæ;
sic
Petri gradum pércipis,
cuius
et normam séqueris.
Scriptúræ
sacræ mýstica
mire
solvis ænígmata,
excélsaque
mystéria
te
docet ipsa Véritas.
O
póntifex egrégie,
lux
et decus Ecclésiæ,
non
sinas in perículis
quos
tot mandátis ínstruis.
Sit
Patri laus ingénito,
sit
decus Unigénito,
sit
utriúsque párili
maiéstas
summa Flámini. Amen.
Once the Apostle to the English, now the
companion of the angels, as you did then, now come to help the nations of
believers. You spurned abundant riches and all the glory of the world, that
poor you might follow the Lord Jesus who was poor. You the heavenly Christ
selected as Pontiff over his Church; so
you walked the way of Peter and followed his example. You wondrously unraveled
the spiritual enigmas of holy Scripture and taught the great mysteries of the
Truth. O great Pontiff, light and honor of the Church, do not leave in danger those whom you have
instructed so well in the commandments.
Praise to the Unbegotten Father,
honor to Only-begotten Son, and equal to both, majesty to the most high
Spirit. Amen.
