Tractus

Veni, Sponsa Christi, áccipe corónam, quam tibi Dóminus præparávit in ætérnum: pro cujus amóre sánguinem tuum fudísti

Come spouse of Christ, receive the crown, which the Lord has prepared for you forever: for the love of Whom you shed your blood. Ps 44:8; 44:5 You love justice and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows. V. In your splendor and your beauty ride on triumphant, and reign.

Ps 44:8; 44:5

Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis. V. Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua inténde, próspere procéde et regna.
