Hesterna die Dominus natus est - St Stephen no 11

R. Hestérna die / Dóminus natus est in terris, ut Stéphanus nascerétur in caelis: † ingréssus est Dóminus mundum, * Ut Stéphanus ingrederétur in caelum.
V. Heri enim rex noster trábea carnis indútus, † de aula uteri virginális egrédiens visitáre dignátus est mundum.
R. Ut Stéphanus ingrederétur in caelum.
R. Yesterday the Lord was born on earth, so that today Stephen can be born in heaven. The Lord entered the world * So that Stephen could enter heaven.
V. For yesterday our King was clothed in robe of flesh going forth from the courtyard of the virginal womb he deigned to visit the world.
R. So that Stephen could enter heaven.
