Ad Officium lectionis
& ad Vesperas: novus
Mágdalæ
sidus, múlier beáta,
te
pio cultu venerámur omnes,
quam
sibi Christus sociávit arcti
fœdere amóris.
Cum
tibi illíus pátefit potéstas
dæmonum
vires ábigens treménda,
tu
fide gaudes potióre necti
grata medénti.
Hæret
hinc urgens tibi caritátis
vis
ut insístas pédibus Magístri,
férvidis
illum comitáta semper
sédula curis.
Tuque
complóras Dóminum, crucíque
ímpetu
flagrans pietátis astas;
membra
tu terges studiósa et ungis
danda
sepúlcro.
Quos
amor Christi péperit, triúmphis
nos
fac adiúngi sócios per ævum,
atque
Dilécto simul affluénter
pángere laudes. Amen.
O Star of Magdala, blessed woman, all venerate you
with holy reverence, whom Christ united to himself in a strong bond of love.
When he manifested to you his power, driving away fears, the forces of the
demons, you rejoiced in stronger faith in the one who had healed you. Wherefore
the power of love keep you and urged you to follow the steps of the Master, ever
his companion, fervently dedicated to caring for him. And you wept for your Lord as you stood under
the cross, struck by burning love and you anxiously wiped and anointed his body
laid in the tomb. Make us companions of
those to whom Christ’s love has given birth, joined to those who have triumphed
forever, and abundantly to sing praises to the Beloved. Amen.
Ad Laudes matutinas: novus
Auróra
surgit lúcida
Christi
triúmphos áfferens,
cum
corpus eius vísere,
María,
vis et úngere.
Anhéla
curris; ángelus
at
ecce lætus prædocet
mortis
refráctis póstibus
redísse
quem desíderas.
Sed
te manet iucúndius
intácti
amóris præmium,
cum,
voce pulsans vílicum,
tuum
Magístrum cónspicis.
Quæ
cum dolénti Vírgine
hæsísti
acérbo stípiti,
tu
prima vivi ab ínferis
es
testis atque núntia.
O
flos venúste Mágdalæ,
o
Christi amóre sáucia,
tu
caritátis ígnibus
fac
nostra corda férveant.
Da,
Christe, tantæ sérvulæ
dilectiónem
pérsequi,
et
nos tu in cæléstibus
tibi
canámus glóriam. Amen.
The sparkling dawn arises, bringing the victories
of Christ, when Mary desires to see his body and anoint him. Out of breath you
run, but a glad angel proclaims “behold the one whom you desire has broken the
doors of death and returned. But there
remains for you the happier reward of chaste love, when by the sound of the
gardener’s voice you recognize your Master.
You with the sorrowful Virgin clinging to the bitter tree are the first
witness and herald of the one who live from the dead. O lovely flower of
Magdala, wounded by love of Christ, make our hearts to burn with the fires of
love. Grant us, O Christ, to follow the love of such a great servant and also
grant that we may sing your glory in heaven. Amen.
