Latin text Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis et pauperes ac debiles, caecos et claudos compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea. Alleluja. (Lc 14;21b, 23b)

English translation Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and make the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame come in so that my house should be full.
