22 December: Aggeus ii. 8; Ephesians ii. 14, 20
O Rex Gentium,
et desideratus earum,
lapisque angularis,
qui facis utraque unum:
veni, et salva hominem,
quem de limo formasti.
O King of the Gentiles,
and The Desired of them,
Thou cornerstone that makest both one,
come and deliver man,
whom Thou didst form out of
the dust of the Earth.
Versicle. Rorate.
“Rorate cæli desuper, et nubes pluant justium . . .”
“Ye Heavens, drop down from above,
and let the clouds rain down The Just One”.
"Rorate Caeli".
