Transcription

1 1) UBI CARITAS (trad. Latin) Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur: Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus. Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus: Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Sæcula per infinita sæculorum. Amen. Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ's love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And may we love each other with a sincere heart. Where charity and love are, God is there. As we are gathered into one body, Beware, lest we be divided in mind. Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease, And may Christ our God be in our midst. Where charity and love are, God is there. And may we with the saints also, See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God: The joy that is immense and good, Unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen. 2) CANTICUM NOVUM (trad. Latin) Cantate Domino Cantate Domino canticum novum: Cantate Domino omnis terra. Cantate Domino, et benedicte nomini ejus: annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus. Sing to the Lord a new song: Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless his name: show forth his salvation from day to day.

2 3) REMEMBER (Christina G. Rossetti ) Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. 4) O FILII ET FILIAE (trad. Latin) O filii et filiae Rex caelestis, Rex gloriae, morte surrexit hodie. In hoc festo sanctissimo sit laus et jubilatio, benedicamus Domino. O sons and daughters, the celestial King, the glorious King, from death arose today. On this most holy feast, let there be praise and jubilation, and let us bless the Lord. 5) JUBILATE DEO (trad. Latin) Jubilate Deo universa terra: psalmum dicite nomini eius: venite, et audite, et narrabo vobis, omnes qui timetis Deum, quanta fecit Dominus animæ meæ, alleluia. Shout to God, all those on earth. Sing a psalm to his name. Come and listen, and I shall tell all those that fear the Lord what great things he hath done for my soul,

3 6) O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM (trad. Latin) O magnum mysterium et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia viderent Dominum natum jacentem in praesepio. O beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Jesum Christum. Ave Maria, gratia plena: Dominus tecum. O beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Jesum Christum. Alleluia! O great mystery and wonderful sacrament, that animals should see the new-born Lord lying in a manger! O blessed is the Virgin, whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord. Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with you. Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord. Alleluia! 7) O GLORIOSA DOMINA (Venantius Fortunatus ) O gloriosa domina excelsa super sidera, qui te creavit provide, lactas sacrato ubere. Quod Eva tristis abstulit, tu reddis almo germine; intrent ut astra flebiles, sternis benigna semitam. Tu regis alti ianua et porta lucis fulgida; vitam datam per Virginem, gentes redemptae, plaudite. Patri sit Paraclito tuoque Nato gloria, qui veste te mirabili circumdederunt gratiae. Amen. O heaven s glorious mistress, enthron'd above the starry sky! thou feedest with thy sacred breast thy own Creator, Lord most high.

4 What man had lost in hapless Eve, thy sacred womb to man restores, thou to the wretched here beneath hast open'd Heaven's eternal doors. Hail, O refulgent Hall of light! Hail Gate august of Heaven's high King! through thee redeem'd to endless life, thy praise let all the nations sing. To the Father and the Spirit and to thy Son all glory be, who with a wonderous garment of graces encircled thee. Amen. 8) AGNUS DEI (trad. Latin) Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. 9) THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS (Sara Teasdale ) There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done, Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone. 10) AVE MARIA (trad. Latin) Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

5 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen. 11) LUX AETERNA (trad. Latin) Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es. Let eternal light shine on them, Lord, as with Your saints in eternity, because You are merciful. Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them, as with Your saints in eternity, because You are merciful. 12) DREAM LAND (Christina G. Rossetti ) Where sunless rivers weep Their waves into the deep, She sleeps a charmed sleep: Awake her not. Led by a single star, She came from very far To seek where shadows are Her pleasant lot. She left the rosy morn, She left the fields of corn, For twilight cold and lorn And water springs. Through sleep, as through a veil, She sees the sky look pale, And hears the nightingale That sadly sings. Rest, rest, a perfect rest Shed over brow and breast; Her face is toward the west, The purple land.

6 She cannot see the grain Ripening on hill and plain; She cannot feel the rain Upon her hand. Rest, rest, for evermore Upon a mossy shore; Rest, rest at the heart's core Till time shall cease: Sleep that no pain shall wake; Night that no morn shall break Till joy shall overtake Her perfect peace. 13) BEATI OMNES (trad. Latin) Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: and walk in his ways. 14) I AM THE ROSE OF SHARON (Song of Solomon) I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. 15) AVE MARIS STELLA (trad. Latin) Ave maris stella, Dei Mater alma, Atque semper Virgo, Felix caeli porta. Sumens illud Ave Gabrielis ore, Funda nos in pace, Mutans Hevae nomen. Solve vincla reis, Profer lumen caecis: Mala nostra pelle, Bona cuncta posce.

7 Monstra te esse matrem: Sumat per te preces, Qui pro nobis natus, Tulit esse tuus. Virgo singularis, Inter omnes mitis, Nos culpis solutos, Mites fac et castos. Vitam praesta puram, Iter para tutum: Ut videntes Jesum, Semper collaetemur. Sit laus Deo Patri, Summo Christo decus, Spiritui Sancto, Tribus honor unus. Amen Hail, bright star of ocean, God's own Mother blest, Ever sinless Virgin, Gate of heavenly rest. Taking that sweet Ave Which from Gabriel came, Peace confirm within us, Changing Eva's name. Break the captives' fetters, Light on blindness pour, All our ills expelling, Every bliss implore. Show thyself a Mother; May the Word Divine, Born for us thy Infant, Hear our prayers through thine. Virgin all excelling, Mildest of the mild, Freed from guilt, preserve us, Pure and undefiled. Keep our life all spotless, Make our way secure, Till we find in Jesus, Joy forevermore. Through the highest heaven To the Almighty Three, Father, Son and Spirit, One same glory be. Amen

8 16) DOS PALABRAS (Alfonsina Storni ) Esta noche al oído me has dicho dos palabras Comunes. Dos palabras cansadas De ser dichas. Palabras Que de viejas son nuevas. Dos palabras tan dulces que la luna que andaba Filtrando entre las ramas Se detuvo en mi boca. Tan dulces dos palabras Que una hormiga pasea por mi cuello y no intento Moverme para echarla. Tan dulces dos palabras Que digo sin quererlo - oh, qué bella, la vida - Tan dulces y tan mansas Que aceites olorosos sobre el cuerpo derraman. Tan dulces y tan bellas Que nerviosos mis dedos, Se mueven hacia el cielo imitando tijeras. Oh, mis dedos quisieran Cortar estrellas. Tonight you murmured two simple words into my ear. Two words shopworn from use. Words so old, they are new. Two words so sweet the moon floating beyond the trees branches pauses to fill my mouth. Words so melodious, when an ant inches up my neck, I make no move to brush it off. A pair of words so sweet that despite myself I say How lovely life is. Calming, gentle, they are like scented oils poured over my body. So sweet and beautiful and my nervous fingers rise toward heaven in imitation of scissors. Yes, tonight my fingers would cut out the stars.

9 17) LIFE IS A CIRCLE (Black Elk Oglala Sioux ) Everything the power of the world does, is done in a circle. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its' greatest power whirls. Birds make their nests in circles; for their's is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back to where they were. The life of a man is a circle, from childhood to childhood. and so it is with everything where power moves.
