EPISTLE

Ab initio, et ante sæcula creata sum, et usque ad futurum sæculum non desinam, et in habitatione sancta co-ram ipso ministravi. Et sic in Sion firmata sum, et in civitate sanctificata similiter requievi, et in Jerusalem po-testas mea. Et radicavi in populo ho-norificato, et in parte Dei mei hære-ditas illius, et in plenitudine sanctorum detentio mea.

From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before Him. And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of Saints.

In illo tempore: Loquente Jesu ad turbas: extollens vocem quædam mulier de turba, dixit illi: Beatus venter, qui te portavit et ubera, quæ suxisti. At ille dixit: Quinimo beati qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.

At that time, as Jesus was speaking to the multitudes, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to Him: Blessed is the womb that bore Thee and the paps that gave Thee suck. But He said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

In illo tempore: Pastores loquebantur ad invicem: Transeamus usque Bethlehem, et videamus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dominus os-tendit nobis. Et venerunt festinantes: et invenerunt Mariam, et Joseph, et infantem positum in præsepio. Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc. Et omnes qui audierunt, mirasti sunt: et de his, quæ dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos. Maria autem conservabat omnia verba hæc, conferens in corde suo. Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes, et laudantes Deum in omnibus quæ audierant, et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.

Felix namque es, sacra Virgo Maria, et omni laude dignissima: quia ex ortus est sol justitiæ, Christus Deus noster.

Tua, Domine, propitiatione, et beatæ Mariæ semper Virginis intercessione, ad perpetuam atque præsentem hæc oblatio nobis proficiat prosperitatem et pacem. Per Dominum.

At that time the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us. And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the Infant lying in the manger. And seeing they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this Child. And all that heard wondered: and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Cum vidisset ergo Jesus matrem, et dicipulum stantem, quem diligebat, dicit matri suæ: Mulier, ecce filius tuus. Deinde dicit discipulo: Ecce mater tua. Et ex illa hora accepit eam discipulus in sua.
