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

Quarto Idus Maji Luna sexta. Anno Dómini 2027

Romæ, via Ardeatína, sanctórum Mártyrum Nérei et Achíllei fratrum, qui primo cum Flávia Domitílla, cujus erant eunúchi, in ínsula Póntia longum pro Christo duxérunt exsílium; póstmodum gravíssimis verbéribus attrectati sunt; deínde, cum a Minútio Rufo, viro Consulári, equúleo et flammis ad immolándum compelleréntur, diceréntque se, a beáto Petro Apóstolo baptizátos, nulla ratióne posse idólis immoláre, cápite cæsi sunt. Horum sacræ relíquiæ, simúlque Fláviæ Domitíllæ, ex Diaconía sancti Hadriáni in antíquum eórum Títulum, ubi asservabántur olim recónditæ, dénuo restaurátum, solémniter translátæ sunt prídie hujus diéi, jussu Cleméntis Papæ Octávi; qui exínde hodiérna celebrándum die indíxit étiam festum ipsíus beátæ Domitíllæ Vírginis, cujus pássio Nonis hujus mensis recensétur.

Item Romæ, via Aurélia, sancti Pancrátii Mártyris, qui, cum esset annórum quatuórdecim, sub Diocletiáno, cápitis obtruncatióne martýrium complévit.

Salamínæ, in Cypro, sancti Epiphánii Epíscopi, qui, multíplici eruditióne et sacrárum sciéntia litterárum excéllens, vitæ quoque sanctitáte, zelo cathólicæ fídei, munificéntia in páuperes et virtúte miraculórum éxstitit admirándus.

Constantinópoli sancti Germáni Epíscopi, doctrína et virtútibus insígnis, qui Leónem Isáuricum, edictum advérsus sacras Imágines promulgántem, magna fidúcia redárguit.

Tréviris sancti Modoáldi Epíscopi.

Romæ sancti Dionýsii, qui éxstitit pátruus sancti Pancrátii Mártyris.

Argýrii, in Sicília, sancti Philíppi Presbýteri, qui, a Románo Pontífice ad eándem Sicíliam ínsulam missus, magnam illíus partem convértit ad Christum. Ipsíus vero sánctitas in liberándis energúmenis maxime declarátur.

In civitáte Calciaténsi, in Hispánia, sancti Domínici Confessóris.

℣ Et álibi aliórum plurimórum sanctórum Mártyrum et Confessórum, atque sanctárum Vírginum.

The Twelfth of May. The sixth day of the moon. In the year of our Lord 2027.

At Rome, on the Ardeatine Way, the holy martyrs Nereus and Achilleus, brothers, who first endured a long exile on the island of Pontia for Christ, together with Flavia Domitilla, of whose household they were eunuchs; afterwards they were severely beaten; then, when they were compelled by the consular Minutius Rufus with the rack and with flames to sacrifice and they declared that, having been baptized by blessed Peter the Apostle, they could by no means sacrifice to idols, they were beheaded. Their sacred relics, along with those of Flavia Domitilla, were solemnly translated from the deaconry of Saint Hadrian back to their ancient titular church, where they had formerly been kept and which had been newly restored, on the day before this feast, by order of Pope Clement VIII; who thereupon decreed that the feast of blessed Domitilla herself, Virgin, whose passion is commemorated on May 7, should also be celebrated on this day.

Likewise at Rome, on the Aurelian Way, Saint Pancras, Martyr, who, being fourteen years of age, under Diocletian, completed his martyrdom by beheading.

At Salamis, in Cyprus, Saint Epiphanius, Bishop, who, excelling in manifold learning and knowledge of the sacred Scriptures, was also to be marveled at for holiness of life, zeal for the Catholic faith, generosity toward the poor, and the power of miracles.

At Constantinople, Saint Germanus, Bishop, outstanding in learning and virtues, who with great boldness rebuked Leo the Isaurian when he was promulgating an edict against the sacred images.

At Trier, Saint Modoaldus, Bishop.

At Rome, Saint Dionysius, who was the paternal uncle of holy Pancras, Martyr.

At Agira, in Sicily, Saint Philip the Priest, who was sent by the Roman Pontiff to that same island of Sicily and converted a great part of it to Christ. His holiness is most manifestly declared in the freeing of those possessed by demons.

In the city of Calzada, in Spain, Saint Dominic, Confessor.

℣ 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.
