O King and desire of nations, cornerstone, who unites the divided into one: come and save the man whom you formed from the clay.
O Rex gentium, et desideratus earum, lapisque angularis, qui facis utraque unum: veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti.
(Antiphon before the Gospel; antiphon for the Canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary – December 22)
