At Lauds and Vespers
Pláusibus,
Luca, cánimus, triúmphum
quo
nites fuso rútilo cruóre,
atque
præcélsis méritis adéptam
rite corónam.
Luke, we sing in praise of the triumph
by
which you shine in shedding red blood
and
the excelling merits
which
rightly earned you a crown.
Spíritus ductu, studiósus orbi
mira
quæ pastor dócuit supérnus
Christus
ac fecit míserans amóre,
tradis amánter.
Lead by the Spirit, full of zeal, you lovingly handed over
to
an amazed world what Christ the supreme Pastor
taught
and did in merciful love.
Próvidus chartis pérhibes venústis
gesta
quæ Iesu célebrant alúmnos,
eius
et gentis nova quæ patéscunt
in nova sæcla.
Looking ahead to a new age you put forth in beautiful pages
the
deeds which celebrate the disciples of Jesus
and
which reveal to the nations new things.
O comes Pauli, speculátor alti
cordis
illíus sed et æmulátor,
cáritas
Christi fac ut usque nostrum
pectus adúrat.
O companion of Paul, observer and imitator of his
heart,
may the charity of Christ also set fire
to
our hearts.
Tu malis nostris médicus fer artem,
confer
et lætum fídei levámen,
ut
Deo tandem potiámur, ipsi
semper ovántes. Amen.
You, a doctor, bring healing to our
ills
and confer the glad relief of faith
that
we may obtain to God
rejoicing
in him always. Amen.
