Sufficiebat nobis paupértas nostra - Sunday 3 of September no 5

R. Sufficiébat / nobis paupértas nostra, ut divítiæ computaréntur: † numquam fuísset pecúnia ipsa, pro qua misísti fílium nostrum, * Báculum senectútis nostræ!
V. Heu me, fili mi, ut quid te mísimus peregrinári, † lumen oculórum nostrórum?
R. Báculum senectútis nostræ!
R. Our poverty was enough for us, that it might have been accounted riches. O that the money had never been, for which thou hast sent away our son, * The staff of our old age.
V. Alas, my son, wherefore have we sent thee wandering, even thee, the light of our eyes?
R. The staff of our old age.

Text: 

Tobit 5: 24-26
24 Cumque profecti essent, cœpit mater ejus flere, et dicere: Baculum senectutis nostræ tulisti, et transmisisti a nobis.
25 Numquam fuisset ipsa pecunia, pro qua misisti eum:

26 sufficiebat enim nobis paupertas nostra, ut divitias computaremus hoc, quod videbamus filium nostrum.

10:5 5 Flebat igitur mater ejus irremediabilibus lacrimis, atque dicebat: Heu, heu me, fili mi! ut quid te misimus peregrinari, lumen oculorum nostrorum, baculum senectutis nostræ, solatium vitæ nostræ, spem posteritatis nostræ?
