From the book of St. Jerome, Priest, against Jovian: Our Lady on Saturday






 Benedictio. Per Vírginem matrem concédat nobis Dóminus salútem et pacem. Amen.


Ex libro sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri advérsus Ioviniánum
Apologia ad Pammachium pro lib. adversus Iovinianum, in fine
Christus virgo, Mater vírginis nostri virgo perpétua, mater et virgo. Iesus enim clausis ingréssus est óstiis; et in sepúlcro eius, quod novum et in petra duríssima fúerat excísum, nec ántea quis nec póstea pósitus est. Hortus conclúsus, fons signátus. De quo fonte ille flúvius manat, iuxta Ioël, qui írrigat torréntem vel fúnium vel spinárum: fúnium, peccatórum, quibus ante alligabámur; spinárum, quæ suffócant seméntem patrisfamílias. Hæc est porta orientális, ut ait Ezéchiel, semper clausa et lúcida, opériens in se vel ex se próferens Sancta sanctórum; per quam Sol iustítiæ et Póntifex noster secúndum órdinem Melchísedech ingréditur et egréditur.
Tu autem

R. Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima:
* Quia ex te ortus est sol iustítiæ, Christus, Deus noster, allelúia.
V. Ora pro pópulo, intérveni pro clero, intercéde pro devóto femíneo sexu: séntiant omnes tuum iuvámen, quicúmque célebrant tuam sanctam commemoratiónem.
R. Quia ex te ortus est sol iustítiæ.
Glória
R. Christus, Deus noster, allelúia.

V. Lord, please bless me.
Benediction. Through the Virgin Mother, the Lord grant us salvation and peace. Amen.

From the book of St. Jerome, Priest, against Jovian
Apologia to Panmachius to the Book against Jovian, at end
Christ is virgin, and the mother of our virgin Christ remains forever virgin, the Virgin Mother. For Jesus entered the world, as he entered the upper room, "the doors being closed", and in his sepulcher, which had been hewn out of the hard rock, "no one had yet been laid", nor was anyone else laid in it afterward. "An enclosed garden a fountain sealed" was Mary. And from that fountain, according to Joel, flows the stream that waters the torrent either of "ropes" or of "thorns". The ropes would be the sins by which we had been bound down; the thorns would be those which choke the householder's seed. Mary is the eastern gate, of which Ezechiel speaks, always closed and luminous, whether concealing in itself or bringing forth from itself the Holy of holies. She is the gate through which the Sun of justice and our High Priest according to the order of Melchisedech goes in and out.
But Thou Lord

R. O Holy Virgin Mary, happy indeed art thou, and right worthy of all praise
* For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness, even Christ our God, alleluia.
V. Pray for the people, plead for the clergy, make intercession for all women vowed to God. Let all that are making this holy memorial of thee feel the might of thine assistance.
R. For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness.
Glory be
R. Even Christ our God, alleluia.
