Velum templi scissum est - Good Friday no 2

R. Velum templi / scissum est, * Et omnis terra trémuit: † latro de cruce clamábat, dicens: † Meménto mei, Dómine, dum veneris in regnum tuum.
V. Petræ scissæ sunt, et monuménta apérta sunt, † et multa córpora sanctórum, qui dormíerant, surrexérunt.
R. Et omnis terra trémuit: † latro de cruce clamábat, dicens: † Meménto mei, Dómine, dum veneris in regnum tuum.
R. The veil of the Temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom,* And all the earth did quake: the thief on the cross cried, saying: Lord, remember me when Thou comest into thy kingdom!
V. The rocks rent, and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints, which slept, arose.
R. And all the earth did quake: the thief on the cross cried, saying: Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
