Hymn


W

e praise the God of saints,
Singing the rewards of Christ,
Who, in His holy Spirit's grace,
Bestowed triumph upon the little ones.

E

ven from the mouths of infants,
Comes perfect praise of the Lord,
Almighty in all things,
He destroys the devices of the wicked.

H

e, who rules the impious mind,
Using the instruments of vision,
Convinced them that God and Lord
Could be overcome and destroyed.

T

he Magi followed the sign,
Guided by the shining star,
Which with the rising of its light
Would serve the eternal King.

H

erod feared the newborn child,
The rightful King of Judea,
For in foreign lineage,
He feared to be succeeded.

W

ith the divine decree spoken,
Herod, terrified, turned to earth,
Ignorant in his wickedness,
He seeks to destroy all life.

A

t first, he feigns to rejoice,
And pretends to worship the child,
Promising to return and adore
The newborn King.

B

ut after being warned by God,
He disappears in his deceit,
Attempting an unspeakable crime,
Unknown in all ages.

B

ethlehem had heard
Of the divine prophecy,
The city's name was known,
But the unknowing parent gave birth.

C

alculating the time of birth,
Herod decreed the death of infants,
Ripping them from their mothers' breasts,
The wicked man ordered their demise.

T

hese infants, witnesses for the Lord,
Would suffer at a certain time,
The merciful Redeemer of all,
Forever sanctified them with praise.

I

n the face of the mothers' tears,
He showed the sowing of tears,
For their future glory,
They will reap certain joys.

R

emember, O Author of salvation,
How once You assumed
The form of our human body
From the untouched Virgin.

G

lory to You, Lord,
Who are born of the Virgin,
With the Father, and the Holy Spirit,
Unto everlasting ages.

℟.

Amen.

℟.

Sed líbera nos a malo.

Chapter

{From the Feast}

O

Christ, the ineffable light of the world, who while still in the very cradle, not yet a martyr, dedicated multitudes of infants to martyrdom; who, unable to speak, caused various cries to be uttered under the sword of the raging, from whose souls in the depths of hell, by your spontaneous death for us all, you chose to deliver them; inspire them to pray without ceasing for the little ones: that we, unable to be cleansed from sin by our own supplications, may be cleansed by their prayers, who will follow you with hymns and songs wherever you go, both here and for all eternity, and may be washed clean by their intercessions.

P.

Our Father, who art in heaven.

℟.

Amen.

P.

Hallowed be thy name.

℟.

Amen.

P.

Thy kingdom come.

℟.

Amen.

P.

Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.

℟.

Amen.

P.

Give us this day our daily bread.

℟.

For thou art God.

P.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we, forgive those who trespass against us.

℟.

Amen.

P.

And lead us not into temptation.

℟.

But deliver us from evil.

Petítio


L

iberáti a malo, confirmáti semper in bono tibi servíre mereámur Deo, ac Dómino nostro. Pone, Dómine, finem peccátis nostris: da gáudium tribulátis: præbe redemptiónem captívis: sanitátem infírmis: requiémque defúnctis. Concéde pacem et securitátem in ómnibus diébus nostris: frange audáciam inimicórum nostrórum: exáudi, Deus, oratiónem servórum tuórum ómnium fidélium christianórum in hoc die, et in omni témpore. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit, et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia semper sæcula sæculórum.

℟.

Amen.

Embolism


D

elivered from evil, strengthened always in good, may we merit to serve thee, O God, and our Lord. Put, O Lord, an end to our sins: give joy to the troubled: grant redemption to captives: health to the sick: and rest to the dead. Grant peace and security in all our days: break the audacity of our enemies: hear, O God, the prayer of thy servants, all faithful Christians, in this day and at all times. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.

℟.

Amen.

Amen.

P.

T

he only begotten Son of God, by whose birth on earth, the fields of Bethlehem were stained with the blood of the slain infants for His sake, grant us always to have a pleasing desire for Him, and a reward similar to His reward.

℟.

Amen.

P.

He who made them victors not by age but by blood, may He also make us confessors of our sins.

℟.

Amen.

P.

So that with those whose blood cries out to God from the earth, our confession may one day be accepted by Christ as deserving of reward.

℟.

Amen.
