Redemptor es; serva quod emisti. Tu Servator es; ne sinas perire qui tibi innituntur. Tu Dominus es, et Possessor; vindica possessionem tuam. Tu Caput es; opem fer membris. Tu Rex es; da nobis legum tuarum reverentiam. Tu Princeps Pacis es; aspira nobis fraternam charitatem. Tu Deus, miserere supplicum tuorum; sis (ut beatus Paulus loquitur) omnia in omnibus; ut universus ecclesiæ tuæ chorus consentientibus animis et voci. bus consonantibus gratias de misericordiâ inventâ agant Patri, Filio, et Spiritui Sancto; qui pro perfectissimo concordiæ exemplo personarum proprietate distinguuntur, et conjunctione naturæ adunantur; quibus laus et gloria ad omnem æternitatem. Amen.
