Original text and translations

Latin text O magne Pater, in magna necessitate sumus. Nunc igitur obsecramus, obsecramus te per Verbum tuum, per quod nos constituisti plenos quibus indigemus. Nunc placeat tibi, Pater, quia te decet, ut aspicias in nos per adiutorium tuum, ut non deficiamus, et ne nomen tuum in nobis obscuretur, et per ipsum nomen tuum dignare nos adiuvare.

English translation O great Father, we are in terrible need. Therefore now we implore, we beg you, through your Word, by which you have made us full with the things we stand in want of. May it suit you now, Father, because it befits you, to look upon us through your mercy, lest we fall short, and that your name not be lost to us, and by your very name deign to help us. Translation by Hugh McElroy
