S. Ceciliae Virginis et Martyrum ~ III. classis





St. Cecilia with Two Angels by Antiveduto Gramatica, 1625 (From arsorandi)


Today's Collect, from divinumofficium.

Deus, qui nos ánnua beátæ Caeciliae Vírginis et Mártyris tuæ sollemnitáte lætíficas: da, ut, quam venerámur offício, étiam piæ conversatiónis sequámur exémplo.
Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, Filium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum.
R. Amen.

O God, Who gladden us by the annual feast of blessed Cecilia, Your Virgin and Martyr, grant, we beseech You, that we may by virtuous conduct follow her whom we venerate in this sacred rite.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
R. Amen.
