Capitulum           2 Cor. 11. 19.
Fratres : Libénter suffértis insipiéntes, cum sitis ipsi sapiéntes : sustinétis enim si quis vos in servitútem rédigit, si quis dévorat, si quis áccipit, si quis extóllitur, si quis in fáciem vos cædit.
R.  Deo grátias.

The Little Chapter        2 Cor. 11. 19.
Brethren : For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.  For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
R.  Thanks be to God.

Jam sol recédit ígneus ;
Tu, lux perénnis, Unitas,
Nostris, beáta Trínitas,
Infúnde lumen córdibus.

Te mane laudum cármine,
Te deprecámur véspere ;
Dignéris ut te súpplices
Laudémus inter cælites.

*  Patri, simúlque Fílio,
Tibíque, Sancte Spíritus,
Sicut fuit, sit júgiter
Sæclum per omne glória.  Amen.

O Trinity of blessed light,
O Unity of princely might,
The fiery sun now goes his way,
Shed thou within our hearts thy ray.

To thee our morning song of praise,
To thee our evening prayer we raise;
Thy glory suppliant we adore,
For ever and for evermore.

Ordinary Doxology
All laud to God the Father be;
All praise, eternal Son, to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
