Lauds: Novus
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.
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.
