* Taken from Daily Breviary Meditations: Meditations for Every Day on the Scriptural Lessons of the Roman Breviary, in accordance with the Encyclical “Divino Afflante,” written by the Most Rev. Joseph Angrisani, Bishop of Casale-Monferrato, and translated by Rev. Father Joseph A. McMullin of St. Charles Seminary at Philadelphia, PA (Vol. 2; New York: Benziger Brothers, Inc., 1954).
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus atque miserentíssimus Redémptor, in cuius manu sunt ómnium potestátes et ómnium iura populórum: réspice in auxílium minimórum fratrum tuórum; ut insidiántes fascístæ, quæ in sua feritáte confídunt, déxteræ tuæ poténtia conterántur. Qui vivis et regnas per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
(cf. collecta in Missa votiva «Contra paganos»)
English version:
Almighty, everlasting God and most merciful Redeemer, in whose hands are all civil authority and all peoples’ rights: look to the help of the least of thy brethren; that fascist conspirators, who rely on their own barbarity, may be broken by the power of thy right hand. Thou, who livest and reignest throughout all ages of ages. Amen.
Versión española:
Omnipotente, sempiterno Dios y misericordiosísimo Redentor, in cuyas manos se encuentran toda autoridad civil y todo derecho popular: atiende al auxilio de los más mínimos de tus hermanos; para que los conspiradores fascistas, quienes se apoyan en su propia barbaridad, sean quebrantados por el poder de tu mano derecha. Tu que vives y reinas por todos los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
