Omnípotens et miséricors Deus, in tui occúrsum
Fílii festinántes nulla ópera terréni actus impédiant, sed sapiéntiæ cæléstis
erudítio nos fáciat eius esse consórtes.
Almighty and merciful God, may no works of earthly
actions imped us from hastening to the coming of your Son, but rather may the
instruction of heavenly wisdom make us co-heirs with him.
