Ant:  Istórum est enim regnum cælórum, qui contempsérunt vitam mundi, et pervenérunt ad præmia regni, et lavérunt stolas suas in sánguine Agni.

Ant:  Blessed are they who have despised earthly pleasure, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven: they have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, and have won the heavenly great reward.

V.  Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, justi.
R.  Et gloriámini, omnes recti corde.

V.  Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord.
R.  And be joyful, all ye that are true of heart.

Oremus.

Let us pray.
O God, which makest us glad with the yearly festival of blessed Faustinus and Jovita, thy holy Martyrs : grant, we beseech thee, that as we do rejoice in their merits ; so we may be enkindled to follow them in all virtuous and godly living.  Through.

Ant:  Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered; fear not therefore ; ye are of more value than many sparrows.
