Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cœli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos: tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis: ascéndit ad cœlos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell: the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body. And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Psalmus 8.
Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
2 Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua, * super cœlos.
3 Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.
4 Quóniam vidébo cœlos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum: * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti.
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum?
6 Minuísti eum paulo minus ab Angelis, glória et honóre coronásti eum: * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
7 Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas: ínsuper et pécora campi.
8 Vólucres cœli, et pisces maris, * qui perámbulant sémitas maris.

O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
2 For thy magnificence is elevated * above the heavens.
3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, * that pass through the paths of the sea.
9 O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Psalmus 10.
In Dómino confído: quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
2 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
3 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * justus autem quid fecit?
4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cœlo sedes ejus:
5 Oculi ejus in paúperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord's throne is in heaven.
5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

3 Non sunt loquélæ, neque sermónes, * quorum non audiántur voces eórum.
4 In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum: * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
6 Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * His going out is from the end of heaven,
7 And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
8 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * And from those of others spare thy servant.
14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
16 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Unum corpus, et unus spíritus sicut vocáti estis in una spe vocatiónis vestræ. Unus Dóminus, una fides, unum baptísma. Unus Deus et Pater ómnium, qui est super omnes, et per ómnia, et in ómnibus nobis. Unicuíque autem nostrum data est grátia secúndum mensúram donatiónis Christi. Propter quod dicit: Ascéndens in altum captívam duxit captivitátem: dedit dona homínibus.

4 He asked life of thee: * and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: * glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
6 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: * thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
7 For the king hopeth in the Lord: * and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: * let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: * and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they have intended evils against thee: * they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.

Qui enim uníus natúræ Salvatórem nostrum mortífera persuasióne credíderit, solum hóminem, aut solum Deum cogétur dícere crucifíxum. Sed non ita est. Mortem enim nec solus Deus sentíre, nec solus homo superáre potuísset.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: * who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: * thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle's.

17 And his justice unto children's children, * to such as keep his covenant,
18 And are mindful of his commandments * to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: * and his kingdom shall rule over all.
20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: * you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

De Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ.
Ex eadem Homilia 29.
De hac ascensiónis ejus glória étiam Hábacuc ait: Elevátus est sol, et luna stetit in órdine suo. Quis enim solis nómine, nisi Dóminus; et quæ lunæ nómine, nisi Ecclésia designátur? Quoúsque enim Dóminus ascéndit ad cœlos, sancta ejus Ecclésia advérsa mundi omnímodo formidávit: at postquam ejus ascensióne roboráta est, apérte prædicávit, quod occúlte crédidit. Elevátus est ergo sol, et luna stetit in órdine suo: quia cum Dóminus cœlum pétiit, sancta ejus Ecclésia in auctoritáte prædicatiónis excrévit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Hinc ejúsdem Ecclésiæ voce per Salomónem dícitur: Ecce iste venit sáliens in móntibus, et transíliens colles. Considerávit namque tantórum óperum cúlmina, et ait: Ecce iste venit sáliens in móntibus. Veniéndo quippe ad redemptiónem nostram, quosdam, ut ita dicam, saltus dedit. Vultis, fratres caríssimi, ipsos ejus saltus agnóscere? De cœlo venit in úterum, de útero venit in præsépe, de præsépe venit in crucem, de cruce venit in sepúlchrum, de sepúlchro rédiit in cœlum. Ecce ut nos post se cúrrere fáceret, quosdam pro nobis saltus manifestáta per carnem Véritas dedit: quia exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam suam, ut nos ei dicerémus ex corde: Trahe nos: post te currémus in odórem unguentórum tuórum.

Unde, fratres caríssimi, opórtet ut illuc sequámur corde, ubi eum córpore ascendísse crédimus. Desidéria terréna fugiámus: nihil nos jam deléctet in ínfimis, qui Patrem habémus in cœlis. Et hoc nobis est magnópere perpendéndum: quia is qui plácidus ascéndit, terríbilis redíbit: et quidquid nobis cum mansuetúdine præcépit, hoc a nobis cum districtióne éxiget. Nemo ergo indúlta pœniténtiæ témpora parvipéndat, nemo curam sui, dum valet, ágere négligat: quia Redémptor noster tanto tunc in judícium distríctior véniet, quanto nobis ante judícium magnam patiéntiam prærogávit.
