Ad Officium lectionis
& ad Vesperas: saec. XVII?
Dum
tuas festo, pater o colénde,
cántico
laudes habet hæc coróna,
vocis
ac mentis, Ióachim, benígne
áccipe munus.
Longa
te regum séries avórum
Abrahæ
prolem tulit atque David;
clárior
mundi dómina corúscas
prole María.
Sic
tuum germen benedícta ab Anna
éditum,
patrum repetíta vota
implet,
et mæsto próperat reférre
gáudia mundo.
Laus
tibi, Prolis Pater increátæ;
laus
tibi, summi Súboles Paréntis;
summa
laus, compar, tibi sit per omne,
Spíritus, ævum. Amen.
O venerable father, Joachim, as this crown offers
you praise with a festal hymn, kindly receive the gift of voice and mind. The
long succession of kings, your ancestors, made you offspring of Abraham and
David; you shine brighter because of your child, Mary, Lady of the whole world.
Thus, your offspring issuing forth from blessed Anne fulfills the endless
prayers of your fathers and hastens to turn the sorrow of the world into
gladness. Praise to you, O Father of the uncreated Son, praise to you, O
Progeny of the highest Father, highest and equal praise, O Spirit, be to you
through all ages. Amen.
Ad Laudes matutinas: saec.

Nocti
succédit lúcifer,
quem
mox auróra séquitur,
solis
ortum prænúntians
mundum
lustrántis lúmine.
Christus
sol est iustítiæ,
auróra
Mater grátiæ,
quam,
Anna, præis rútilans
legis
propéllens ténebras.
Anna,
radix ubérrima,
arbor
tu salutífera,
virgam
prodúcens flóridam
quæ
Christum nobis áttulit.
O
matris Christi génetrix
tuque
parens sanctíssime,
natæ
favénte mérito,
nobis
rogáte véniam.
The morning star succeeds to night, the dawn soon
follows, announcing the rising of the sun, which illuminates the world with
light. Christ is the Sun of justice, his Mother the dawn of grace, whom resplendent
Anne precedes, driving away the darkness of the old law. O Anne, the most fruitful root, you, the
saving tree, producing that flowering branch, which Christ brings to us. O
Mother of the Mother of Christ, and you, Joachim, her most holy parent, by the
merits of your daughter, ask for us pardon.
