Praise to Thee, O Lord, King of everlasting glory. *During Lent until Easter, instead of the alleluia the following is said: *A Septuagesima usque ad Pascha, loco Alleluia, dicitur: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. May the grace of the Holy Spirit illuminate our senses and our hearts. Spiritus Sancti gratia, illuminet sensus et corda nostra. The Latin text below is taken from a 1741 edition of the Coeleste Palmetum. A medieval office in honor of the Holy Spirit.
