Latinam Nunc tempus acceptabile fulget datum divinitus, ut sanet orbem languidum medela parsimoniae. Christi decoro lumine dies salutis emicat, dum corda culpis saucia reformat abstinentia. Hanc mente nos et corpore, Deus, tenere perfice, ut appetamus prospero perenne pascha transitu. Te rerum universitas, clemens, adoret, Trinitas, et nos novi per veniam novum canamus canticum. Amen.

English Now the time acceptable shines, given from heaven, to heal a world languid with the remedy of parsimony. By Christ's beautiful light the day of salvation shines forth, while hearts, by faults, wounded reform with abstinence. This, in our mind and body, O God, complete to keep, that we may desire in the propitious eternal passing over in the Pasch. To Thee, may the universe of all things adore, O Clement Trinity, and us, made new by Thine forgiveness, sing a new canticle. Amen.
