Dominus illuminatio mea et salutare meum. Dominus fortitudo vitae meae quem formidabo?

The Lord is my light, andmy salvation. The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? (Psalm 26/27)

​

Qui descendunt in mare navibus, facientes opus in aquis multis: Ipsi viderunt opera Domini et mirabilia eius in profundo. Dixit et surrexit ventus tempestatis. Ascendunt in caelum et descendunt in abyssos Clamabunt autem ad Dominum in tribulatione sua et de angustia educet eos. Statuet turbinem in tranquillitatem. (Psalm 106/107, King James Version)

They that go down to the sea in ships: and occupy their business in great waters; These men see the works of the Lord: and his wonders in the deep. For at his word the stormy wind ariseth. They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep. So when they cry out unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them out of their distress.

For he maketh the storm to cease.

​

Dominus illuminatio mea et salutare meum. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Vitam praesta puram, Iter para tutum: Ut videntes Jesum, Semper collaetemur. (The Book of Common Prayer)

Display a pure life, prepare your way till we find Jesus, Joy for evermore.

​

Sit laus Deo Patri, Summo Christo decus, Spiritui Sancto, Tribus honor unus.

Praise to God the Father, glory to Christ the great, the Holy Spirit, One honour in three.

(Ave Maris Stella)
