Isti sunt viri sancti, quos elegit Dominus in charitate non ficta,
et dedit illis gloriam sempiternam:
quorum doctrina fulget Ecclesia,
ut sole luna.

These men are holy, whom the Lord hath chosen in love unfeigned,
and has given them glory everlasting:
By whose doctrine the Church is made resplendent,
even as the moon by the sun.
