Ad Officium lectionis
& ad Vesperas: novus
Te
gratulántes pángimus,
Martha,
beáta múlier,
quæ
meruísti sæpius
Christum
domi recípere.
Tantum
libénter hóspitem
curis
ornábas sédulis,
in
plúrima sollícita
amóris
dulci stímulo.
Pascis
dum læta Dóminum,
soror
ac frater ávide
possunt
ab illo grátiæ
vitæque
cibum súmere.
Captúro
mortis trámitem
dante
soróre arómata,
extrémi

vigil
donásti múnera.
Magístri
felix hóspita,
corda
fac nostra férveant,
ut

sint
sedes amicítiæ.
Sit
Trinitáti glória,
quæ
nos in domum cælicam
admítti

laudes cánere. Amen.
We sing your praises, O Martha, blessed woman, who
were worthy often to receive Christ into your home. You so joyfully covered
your guest with sollicit0us care, anxious in many things under the sweet sting
of your love. While you happily feed the
Lord, your sister and brother enthusiastically were able to take from him the
food of grace and life. When the Lord was captured on the road to his death, your
sister provided him sweet smelling perfume and you gave the gift of final
service by keeping watch over him. O happy hostess of the Master, make our
hearts to burn to be grateful seats of friendship with him. . To the Trinity be
glory, who grants at last for us to admitted into the heavenly home with you to
sing praises. Amen.
Ad Laudes matutinas: novus
Quas
tibi laudes ferimúsque vota,
nos
tuis possint méritis iuváre,
Martha,
quam mire sibi corde iungit
Christus amíco.
Te
frequens visit Dóminus tuáque
in
domo degit plácida quiéte
ac
tuis verbis studiísque lætans
teque minístra.
Tu
prior fratrem quéreris perísse,
cumque
germána lacrimáta multum,
áspicis
vitæ súbita Magístri
voce redíre.
Quæ
fide prompta stábilem fatéris
spem
resurgéndi, Dómino probánte,
ímpetra
nobis cúpide in perénne
pérgere regnum.
Laus
Deo Patri, Genitóque virtus,
Flámini
Sancto párilis potéstas,
glóriam
quorum pétimus per ævum
cérnere tecum. Amen.
May the praise and prayers which we offer to you, by
your merits help us, O Martha, whom Christ marvelously united to his heart in
friendship. The Lord often visited you and in your home enjoyed peaceful quiet,
happy in your words and zeal and service. At first you lament the death of your
brother and with your sister shed many tears, then you see him restored to life
at the command of the Master. Moved by faith you announce firm hope in the
resurrection, when the Lord asks you, pray that we may eagerly come to the
eternal kingdom. Praise to God the Father, strength to the Begotten, equal
power to the Holy Spirit, whose glory we with you seek to see through ages.
