Epistle

Latin

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Eccli 24:23-31

Sir 24:23-31

Ego quasi vitis fructificávi suavitátem odóris: et flores mei fructus honóris et honestátis. Ego mater pulchræ dilectiónis, et timóris, et agnitiónis, et sanctæ spei. In me grátia omnis viæ et veritátis: in me omnis spes vitæ et virtútis. Transíte ad me, omnes, qui concupíscitis me, et a generatiónibus meis implémini. Spíritus enim meus super mel dulcis, et heréditas mea super mel et favum. Memória mea in generatiónes sæculórum. Qui edunt me, adhuc esúrient: et qui bibunt me, adhuc sítient. Qui audit me, non confundétur: et qui operántur in me, non peccábunt. Qui elúcidant me, vitam ætérnam habébunt.

I bud forth delights like the vine, my blossoms become fruit fair and rich. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me, all you that yearn for me, and be filled with my fruits; for my spirit is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance better to have than honey and the honeycomb. My memory is to everlasting generations. They who eat of me will hunger still, and they who drink of me will thirst for more. He who obeys me will not be put to shame, they who serve me will never fail. They who explain me shall have life everlasting.

Benedícta et venerábilis es, Virgo María: quæ sine tactu pudóris invénta es Mater Salvatóris. V. Virgo, Dei Génetrix, quem totus non capit orbis, in tua se clausit víscera factus homo.

O Virgin Mary, blessed and venerable art thou: who without blemish to thy maidenhood, didst become the Mother of the Savior. V. O Virgin Mother of God, He whom the whole world cannot contain, enclosed Himself within thy womb, and became man.

Allelúja, allelúja. Per te, Dei Génetrix, nobis est vita pérdita data: quæ de cœlo suscepísti prolem, et mundo genuísti Salvatórem. Allelúja.

Alleluia, alleluia. Through thee, O Mother of God, has the life we had lost been restored: from heaven didst thou beget thy Child, to the world brought forth a Savior. Alleluia.
