Centuries
Iam,
bone pastor, Petre, clemens áccipe
vota
precántum, et peccáti víncula
resólve,
tibi potestáte trádita,
qua
cunctis cælum verbo claudis, áperis.
Doctor
egrégie, Paule, mores ínstrue
et
mente polum nos transférre sátage,
donec
perféctum largiátur plénius,
evacuáto
quod ex parte gérimus.
Sit
Trinitáti sempitérna glória,
honor,
potéstas atque iubilátio,
in
unitáte, cui manet impérium
ex
tunc et modo per ætérna sæcula. Amen
Now, good shepherd, Peter, mercifully accept the
intentions of our prayers and loosen the chains of sin by the power handed over
to you, through which with a word you close and open heaven. Exceptional
doctor, Paul, guide our life and mind that we be set on the path to heaven
until what is limited and passing is more fully perfected. Glory be to the
eternal Trinity, honor, power and praise in the Unity, whose authority abides
now and for eternal ages. Amen.
From Milfull p. 377
Excellent teacher Paul, teach us morals and strive to carry us in spirit to heaven until the prefect one shall give more fully that which is made vain, because we do it imperfectly.
Other manuscripts:
Excellent teacher Paul, teach us moral behavior and strive to carry us in spirit to heaven against that time when that which is perfect shall be granted more fully and that which we do imperfectly shall be superseded.

O highest Princes of the supreme King of the eternal court, the Apostles whom Jesus taught and gave to the world. The spiritual Jerusalem, whose lamp is the Lamb, possessed you, sparkling jewels, as her bright foundation. Now the Church, the bride of Christ, which your word inspires and your blood consecrated, hails and celebrates you. When the world ends and the Judge, the Redeemer, sits enthroned, in whose praise you will also sit, O assembly of glory. Wherefore now may your prayer ever aid and strengthen us that the seeds which you have planted may flourish in the grain of heaven. Eternal glory to Christ, you made you messengers of the Father and the Spirit who filled you with divine love. Amen.
