Canticum Quicumque [5]
Symbolum Athanasium
Quicúmque vult salvus esse, * ante ómnia opus est, ut téneat cathólicam fidem:
Quam nisi quisque íntegram inviolatámque serváverit, * absque dúbio in ætérnum períbit.
Fides autem cathólica hæc est: * ut unum Deum in Trinitáte, et Trinitátem in unitáte venerémur.
Neque confundéntes persónas, * neque substántiam separántes.
Alia est enim persóna Patris, ália Fílii, * ália Spíritus Sancti:
Sed Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti una est divínitas, * æquális glória, coætérna maiéstas.
Qualis Pater, talis Fílius, * talis Spíritus Sanctus.
Increátus Pater, increátus Fílius, * increátus Spíritus Sanctus.
Imménsus Pater, imménsus Fílius, * imménsus Spíritus Sanctus.
Ætérnus Pater, ætérnus Fílius, * ætérnus Spíritus Sanctus.
Et tamen non tres ætérni, * sed unus ætérnus.
Sicut non tres increáti, nec tres imménsi, * sed unus increátus, et unus imménsus.
Simíliter omnípotens Pater, omnípotens Fílius, * omnípotens Spíritus Sanctus.
Et tamen non tres omnipoténtes, * sed unus omnípotens.
Ita Deus Pater, Deus Fílius, * Deus Spíritus Sanctus.
Et tamen non tres Dii, * sed unus est Deus.
Ita Dóminus Pater, Dóminus Fílius, * Dóminus Spíritus Sanctus.
Et tamen non tres Dómini, * sed unus est Dóminus.
Quia, sicut singillátim unamquámque persónam Deum ac Dóminum confitéri christiána veritáte compéllimur: * ita tres Deos aut Dóminos dícere cathólica religióne prohibémur.
Pater a nullo est factus: * nec creátus, nec génitus.
Fílius a Patre solo est: * non factus, nec creátus, sed génitus.
Spíritus Sanctus a Patre et Fílio: * non factus, nec creátus, nec génitus, sed procédens.
Unus ergo Pater, non tres Patres: unus Fílius, non tres Fílii: * unus Spíritus Sanctus, non tres Spíritus Sancti.
Et in hac Trinitáte nihil prius aut postérius, nihil maius aut minus: * sed totæ tres persónæ coætérnæ sibi sunt et coæquáles.
Ita ut per ómnia, sicut iam supra dictum est, * et únitas in Trinitáte, et Trínitas in unitáte veneránda sit.
Qui vult ergo salvus esse, * ita de Trinitáte séntiat.
Sed necessárium est ad ætérnam salútem, * ut Incarnatiónem quoque Dómini nostri Iesu Christi fidéliter credat.
Est ergo fides recta ut credámus et confiteámur, * quia Dóminus noster Iesus Christus, Dei Fílius, Deus et homo est.
Deus est ex substántia Patris ante sǽcula génitus: * et homo est ex substántia matris in sǽculo natus.
Perféctus Deus, perféctus homo: * ex ánima rationáli et humána carne subsístens.
Æquális Patri secúndum divinitátem: * minor Patre secúndum humanitátem.
Qui licet Deus sit et homo, * non duo tamen, sed unus est Christus.
Unus autem non conversióne divinitátis in carnem, * sed assumptióne humanitátis in Deum.
Unus omníno, non confusióne substántiæ, * sed unitáte persónæ.
Nam sicut ánima rationális et caro unus est homo: * ita Deus et homo unus est Christus.
Qui passus est pro salúte nostra: descéndit ad ínferos: * tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis.
Ascéndit ad cælos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: * inde ventúrus est iudicáre vivos et mórtuos.
Ad cuius advéntum omnes hómines resúrgere habent cum corpóribus suis; * et redditúri sunt de factis própriis ratiónem.
Et qui bona egérunt, ibunt in vitam ætérnam: * qui vero mala, in ignem ætérnum.
Hæc est fides cathólica, * quam nisi quisque fidéliter firmitérque credíderit, salvus esse non póterit.
℣. Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
℟. Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Ant. Exsultábunt Dómino ossa humiliáta.

Canticum Quicumque [5]
Symbolum Athanasium
Whosoever willeth to be saved, * before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith.
Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, * without doubt he shall perish eternally.
Now the Catholic faith is this, * that we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity.
Neither confounding the Persons, * nor dividing the substance.
For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, * and another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is one, * the Glory Equal, the Majesty Co-Eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, * and such is the Holy Ghost.
The Father Uncreated, the Son Uncreated, * and the Holy Ghost Uncreated.
The Father Infinite, the Son Infinite, * and the Holy Ghost Infinite. * The Father Eternal, the Son Eternal, * and the Holy Ghost Eternal.
And yet they are not three Eternals, * but one Eternal.
As also they are not three Uncreated, nor three Infinites, * but One Uncreated, and One Infinite.
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, * and the Holy Ghost Almighty.
And yet they are not three Almighties, * but One Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son God, * and the Holy Ghost God.
And yet they are not three Gods, * but One God.
So the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, * and the Holy Ghost Lord.
And yet they are not three Lords, * but One Lord.
For, like as we are compelled by Christian truth to acknowledge every Person by Himself to be God and Lord, * so are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion to say, there be three Gods or three Lords.
The Father is made of none, * neither created, nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone: * not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father, and the Son: * not made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is One Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; * one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity is nothing afore or after, nothing is greater or less; * but the whole three Persons are Co-Eternal together, and Co-Equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid, * the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
He therefore that willeth to be safe, * let him thus think of the Trinity.
But it is necessary to eternal salvation, * that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The right Faith therefore is, that we believe and confess, * that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and man.
God, of the Substance of the Father, Begotten before the worlds: * and Man, of the substance of His mother, born in the world.
Perfect God, Perfect Man, * of a reasoning soul and human flesh subsisting.
Equal to the Father as touching His Godhead, * inferior to the Father as touching His Manhood.
Who, although He be God and Man, * yet He is not two, but One Christ.
One, however, not by conversion of the Godhead into Flesh, * but by taking of the Manhood into God.
One altogether, not by confusion of Substance, * but by Unity of Person.
For as the reasoning soul and flesh is one man, * so God and man is One Christ.
Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, * rose again the third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven, He sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty, * from whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies, * and shall give account for their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into life eternal, * but they that have done evil into eternal fire.
This is the Catholic Faith, * which except a man believe faithfully and firmly, he cannot be safe.
℣. Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
℟. And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
Ant. The bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
