Meruit esse hostia* - St Lawrence no 8

.

R. Méruit / esse hóstia levíta Lauréntius, † qui dum assarétur, non negávit Dóminum * Et ídeo invéntus est sacrifícium laudis. V. In cratícula pósitus Deum non negávit, et ad ignem applicátus Christum conféssus est. R. Et ídeo invéntus est sacrifícium laudis. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. R. Et ídeo invéntus est sacrifícium laudis.

R. The levite Lawrence merited to be a victim of Christ because when he was roasted, he did not deny the Lord: * And therefore he was found to be a sacrifice of praise. V. When placed on the gridiron he did not deny God, and on feeling the fire he confessed Christ R. And therefore he was found to be a sacrifice of praise V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R. And therefore he showed himself to be a sacrifice of praise

Noli me derelínquere - St Lawrence no 6

R. Noli / me derelínquere, pater sancte, quia thesáuros tuos iam expéndi. * Non ego te désero, fili, neque derelínquo; † sed maióra tibi debéntur pro fide Christi certámina. V. Nos quasi senes levióris pugnæ cursum recípimus, † te autem quasi iúvenem manet gloriósior de tyránno triúmphus: † post tríduum me sequéris sacerdótem levíta. R. Non ego te désero, fili, neque derelínquo; † sed maióra tibi debéntur pro fide Christi certámina.

R. Leave me not, holy Father, for I have spent already thy treasures. * I leave thee not, my son, neither forsake thee but there awaiteth thee for Christ's truth a wrestling sterner than mine. V. We, as old men, have an easier race to run; for thee in thy youth, there is kept a more glorious victory over the enemy; yet three days, and thou shalt follow me, the Deacon behind the Priest. R. I leave thee not, my son, neither forsake thee but there awaiteth thee for Christ's truth a wrestling sterner than mine.

Quo progréderis sine fílio - St Lawrence no 5

R. Quo progréderis / sine fílio, pater? † quo, sacérdos sancte, sine diácono próperas? * Tu numquam sine minístro sacrifícium offérre consuéveras. V. Quid ergo in me displícuit paternitáti tuæ? numquid degénerem me probásti? † Experíre utrum idóneum minístrum elégeris, cui commisísti Dominici sánguinis dispensatiónem. R. Tu numquam sine minístro sacrifícium offérre consuéveras.

R. Father, whither goest thou without thy son? Holy Priest, dost thou fare hence without a Deacon? * It hath never been thy use to offer sacrifice without a minister. V. What therefore in me hath displeased thee, my Father? Hast thou tried me and found me unworthy to be called thy son. Make trial if I am indeed an useless servant, even I, whom thou didst choose, to commit unto me the administration of the Cup of the Blood of the Lord. R. It hath never been thy use to offer sacrifice without a minister.
