Common of Doctors:







Lauds: Novus

Doctor ætérnus cóleris piúsque,
Christe, qui leges áperis salútis,
verba qui vitæ mérito putáris
  solus habére.

Teque clamámus, bone Pastor orbis,
cælitus semper solidásse Sponsæ
verba, constánter quibus illa mundo
  lumen adésset.

Ipse quin præbes fámulos corúscos,
áureas stellas velut emicántes,
certa qui nobis réserent beátæ
  dógmata vitæ.

Unde te laudes récinant, Magíster,
Spíritus fundis bona qui stupénda
ore doctórum, tua quo poténter
  lux patet alma.

Quique nunc iustus celebrátur, instet
ut tuam plebem per amœna lucis
des gradi, donec tibi dicat hymnos
  lúmine pleno. Amen.

O Christ, eternal and holy teacher, you are worshiped, who reveal the laws of salvation, you alone are understood to have the words which lead to a worthy life. We cry to you, heavenly Good Shepherd of the world, always to confirm the words of your Bride the Church, through which she is the light to the world.  You make your servants shine like brilliant golden stars, which reveal to us the doctrine of a blessed light. For this, O Master, they sing your praises, you who pour upon us the wonderful goods of the Spirit through the mouth of teachers by whom gracious light is powerfully revealed.  Now this just teacher is celebrated, who urges that you grant your people to advance by the pleasure of light until they, filled with light, may sing hymns to you. Amen.


Office of Readings and II Vespers: Novus

Ætérne sol, qui lúmine
creáta comples ómnia,
supréma lux et méntium,
te corda nostra cóncinunt.

Tuo fovénte Spíritu,
hic viva luminária
fulsére, per quæ sæculis
patent salútis sémitæ.

Quod verba missa cælitus,
natíva mens quod éxhibet,
per hos minístros grátiæ
novo nitóre cláruit.

Horum corónæ párticeps,
doctrína honéstus lúcida,
hic vir beátus splénduit
quem prædicámus láudibus.

Ipso favénte, quæsumus,
nobis, Deus, percúrrere
da veritátis trámitem,
possímus ut te cónsequi.

Eternal Sun, you fill all creation with light, the supreme light of minds, our hearts sing to you.  By your loving Spirit, let flow living lights through which the paths of salvation to the world are opened. The words sent from heaven, what natural reason demonstrates through these ministers of grace glow with a new light. Partaking in their reward, dignified by brilliant teaching, this blessed man shone forth, whose praises we proclaim. With his favor, we ask, O God, that we may run the race: give to us the path of truth that we may come to you.
