Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Prov. 31:10-11
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.
High let us all our voices raise
In that heroic woman's praise
Whose name, with saintly glory bright,
Shines in the starry realms of light.
Filled with a pure celestial glow,
She spurned all love of things below;
And heedless here on earth to stay,
Climbed to the skies her toilsome way.
With fasts her body she subdued,
But filled her soul with prayer's sweet food:
In other worlds she tastes the bliss
For which she left the joys of this.
O Christ, the strength of all the strong;
To whom our holiest deeds belong!
Through her prevailing prayers on high,
In mercy hear thy people's cry!
To God the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Be glory while the ages flow,
From all above, and all below.
Amen.
℣ Dirigátur, Dómine, orátio mea.
℣ Let my prayer be directed, O Lord.
℟ Sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo.
