speculum, recti via, regula morum, carnis ab exilio duc nos ad regna
polorum.
V. Franciscus pauper et humilis, coelum dives ingreditur.
R. Hymnis coelistibus honoratur.
Oremus. Deus, qui hodierna die animae beati Patris nostri Francisi
aeternae beatitudinis praemia contulisti: concede propitius; ut qui
ejus migrationis memoriam piis affectibus celebramus, ad ejusdem
beatitudinis praemia feliciter pervenire mereamur. Per Dominum nostrum,
etc. Amen.
Antiphon: Coelorum candor splenduit, novum sidus emicuit, sacer
Franciscus clarauit, cui Seraph apparuit, obsignans eum vulnere: in
volus, plantis, latere, dum formam crucis gerere vult corde, ore, opere.
V. Signasti, Domine, servum tuum Franciscum:
R. Signis redemtionis nostrae.
Oremus. Domine Jesu Christe, qui frigescente mundo ad inflammandum
corda nostra tui amoris igne in carne beatissimi Patris Nostri
Francisci passionis tuae sacra Stigmata renovasti: concede propitius,
et ejus meritis et precibus crucem jugiter feramus, et dignos fructus
poenitentiae faciamus. Qui vivis et regnas, etc. Amen.
