Collect
Deus, qui nos ánnua beátæ Cæcíliæ Vírginis et Mártyris tuæ sollemnitáte lætíficas: da, ut, quam venerámur offício, étiam piæ conversatiónis sequámur exémplo.
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.
Gradual (Ps 44:11; 44:12)
Audi, fília, et vide, et inclína aurem tuam: quia concupívit Rex spéciem tuam.
Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear; for the King shall desire your beauty.
Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua inténde, próspere procéde et regna.
In your splendor and your beauty ride on triumphant, and reign. Alleluia, alleluia.
Allelúja, allelúja.
The five wise virgins took oil in their vessels with the lamps: and at midnight a cry arose, Behold the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet Christ our Lord. Alleluia.
Quinque prudéntes vírgines accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus: média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit: exíte óbviam Christo Dómino. Allelúja.
Secret
Hæc hóstia, Dómine, placatiónis et laudis, quǽsumus: ut, intercedénte beáta Cæcília Vírgine et Mártyre tua, nos propitiatióne tua dignos semper effíciat.
May this sacrifice of atonement and praise, we beseech You, O Lord, by the intercession of blessed Cecilia, Your Virgin and Martyr, always make us worthy of your forgiveness.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam
