R. Dixérunt / discípuli
ad beátum Martínum: † Cur nos, pater, déseris, aut cui nos desolátos relínquis?
* Invádent enim gregem tuum lupi rapáces.
V. Scimus quidem
desideráre te Christum, sed salva sunt tibi tua prǽmia: † nostri pótius miserére,
quos déseris.
R. Invádent enim gregem tuum lupi
rapáces.

R. His disciples said unto blessed
Martin: Father, why wilt thou go away from us, and with whom wilt thou leave
us orphans? * For ravening wolves will break in upon thy flock.
V. We know that thou wouldest fain be
with Christ, but, sooner or later, thy reward is sure. Rather, then, have
pity upon us, whom thou art leaving.
R. For ravening wolves will break in
upon thy flock.
