Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Prov. 31:10-11

Mulíerem fortem quis invéniet? Procul et de últimis fínibus prétium eius. Confídit in ea cor viri sui, et spóliis non indigébit.

Who shall find a strong woman? Far away, and from the furthest parts, is her price. The heart of her husband confides in her, and he will not be deprived of spoils.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Fortem viríli péctore
Laudémus omnes féminam,
Quæ sanctitátis glória
Ubíque fulget ínclita.

Hæc sancto amóre sáucia,
Dum mundi amórem nóxium
Horréscit, ad cæléstia
Iter perégit árduum.

Carnem domans ieiúniis,
Dulcíque mentem pábulo
Oratiónis nútriens,
Cæli potítur gáudiis.

Rex Christe, virtus fórtium,
Qui magna solus éfficis,
Huius precátu, quǽsumus,
Audi benígnus súpplices.

Deo Patri sit glória,
Eiúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc, et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Let us all praise the woman
of strong and manly heart,
who shines renowned everywhere
with the glory of holiness.

Wounded by holy love,
while she shudders at the harmful love
of the world, she traveled
the arduous way to heaven.

Taming the flesh with fasts
and nourishing her mind
with the sweet food of prayer,
she possesses the joys of heaven.

O Christ the King, strength of the strong,
you who alone accomplish great deeds,
hear graciously, at her prayer,
us your suppliants.

Let glory be to God the Father,
and to his only Son,
with the Spirit the Paraclete,
now and through every age.
Amen.
