Hymnus
Jam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Ejúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

Martyrologium
Décimo octávo Kaléndas Septémbris Luna vicésima. Anno Dómini 2025
Assúmptio sanctíssimæ Dei Genetrícis Vírginis Maríæ.
Cracóviæ, in Polónia, natális sancti Hyacínthi, ex Ordine Prædicatórum, Confessóris, quem Clemens Octávus, Póntifex Máximus, in Sanctórum númerum rétulit. Ipsíus autem festum sextodécimo Kaléndas Septémbris celebrátur.
Apud Albam Regálem, in Pannónia, item natális sancti Stéphani, Regis Hungarórum et Confessóris; qui, divínis virtútibus exornátus, primus Húngaros ad Christi fidem convértit, et a Deípara Vírgine, ipso die Assumptiónis suæ, in cælum recéptus fuit. Ejus vero festívitas quarto Nonas Septémbris, quo die munitíssima Budæ arx, sancti Regis ope, ab exércitu Christiáno strénue recuperáta fuit, potíssimum recólitur, ex dispositióne Innocéntii Papæ Undécimi.
Romæ, via Appia, sancti Tharsícii Acolythi, quem Pagáni, cum inveníssent Córporis Christi Sacraménta portántem, cœpérunt disquírere quid géreret. At ipse, indígnum júdicans porcis pródere margarítas, támdiu ab illis mactátus est fústibus et lapídibus, donec exhaláret spíritum; et, revolúto ejus córpore, sacrílegi discussóres nihil Sacramentorum Christi in occísi mánibus aut in vestibus invenerunt. Christiáni autem collegerunt Mártyris corpus, et in cœmetério Callísti honorífice sepeliérunt.
Tagáste, in Africa, sancti Alípii Epíscopi, qui beáti Augustíni olim discípulus, póstea in conversióne sócius, in múnere pastoráli colléga, et in certamínibus advérsus hæréticos commílito strénuus, ac demum in cælésti glória consors fuit.
Suessíone, in Gálliis, sancti Arnúlphi, Epíscopi et Confessóris.
Romæ sancti Stanislái Kostka; Polóni, novítii e Societáte Jesu et Confessóris; qui, consummátus in brevi, per angélicam vitæ innocéntiam explévit témpora multa, et a Benedícto Décimo tértio, Pontífice Máximo, in Sanctórum album relátus est.
℣ Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.
℟ Deo grátias.
℣ Pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini.

The Fifteenth of August. The twentieth day of the moon. In the year of our Lord 2025.
The Assumption of the most holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God.
At Krakow in Poland, the heavenly birthday of Saint Hyacinth, of the Order of Preachers, Confessor, whom Clement VIII, Supreme Pontiff, enrolled in the number of the Saints. His feast is celebrated on the seventeenth of August.
Near Alba Regalis in Pannonia, likewise the heavenly birthday of Saint Stephen, King of the Hungarians and Confessor; who, adorned with divine virtues, was the first to convert the Hungarians to the faith of Christ, and was received into heaven by the Virgin Mother of God on the very day of her Assumption. His feast is especially commemorated on the second of September, on which day the most fortified citadel of Buda was vigorously recovered by the Christian army through the help of the holy King, by the appointment of Pope Innocent XI.
At Rome, on the Appian Way, Saint Tarsicius the Acolyte, whom the pagans found carrying the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and began to question about what he was carrying. But he, judging it unworthy to cast pearls before swine, was beaten by them with clubs and stones so long until he breathed his last; and when his body was turned over, the sacrilegious searchers found nothing of the Sacraments of Christ in the hands or on the garments of the slain man. The Christians, however, gathered the body of the Martyr and buried it with honor in the cemetery of Callixtus.
At Tagaste in Africa, Saint Alypius the Bishop, who was formerly a disciple of the blessed Augustine, then his companion in conversion, his colleague in the pastoral office, his strenuous fellow soldier in the struggles against heretics, and finally his companion in celestial glory.
At Soissons in Gaul, Saint Arnulphus, Bishop and Confessor.
At Rome, Saint Stanislaus Kostka, a Pole, novice of the Society of Jesus and Confessor; who, perfected in a short time through an angelic innocence of life, fulfilled many years, and was enrolled in the roll of the Saints by Benedict XIII, Supreme Pontiff.
℣ And elsewhere of many other holy Martyrs and Confessors, and holy Virgins.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℣ Precious in the sight of the Lord.
℟ The death of his Saints.
May holy Mary and all the Saints intercede for us to the Lord, that we may merit to be helped and saved by him, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
℟ Amen.
