Psalm 77: 18b; Psalm 84: 1-2a [Latin] – The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

ILLUXÉRUNT coruscatióne tu orbi terræ: commóta est et contrémuit terra.

Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virútum! concupíscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini. [Gloria Patri…]

Matthew 17: 9 [Latin] – And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision you have seen to no man, till the Son of Man be risen from the dead.

VISIÓNEM quam vidístis némini dixéritis, donec a mórtuis resúrgat Fílius hóminis. [Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum dico ego opera mea regi. Apeciosus forma es prae filis homium diffusa est gratia in labis tuis propterea benedixit te deus in aeternum.]

1 Corinthians 10:16 [Latin] – The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

Calix benedictiónis, cui benedícimus, nonne communicátio sánguinis Christi est? et panis, quem frángimus, nonne participátio córporis Dómini est?

Matthew 11:25; Psalm 71:5b [Latin: Matthaeus 11:25; Psalmi 70:5b] – I confess to Thee [“I thank thee” in some translations], O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones.

My hope, O Lord, from my youth.

CONFÍTEOR tibi, Pater, Dómine cœli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus, et prudéntibus, et revelasti ea párvulis. Dómine, spes mea a juventúte mea.
