A wonderful mystery is declared today: natures are renewed, God hath become man: He has remained what He was, and taken on what He was not, suffering neither mixture nor division. (Antiphon at the Benedictus for Lauds of the Circumcision.)
Aña Mirábile mysterium * declarátur hodie: innovantur natúrae, Deus homo factus est: id quod fuit permansit, et quod non erat assumpsit, non commixtiónem passus, neque divisiónem.
