Original text and translations

Latin text Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis. In his ergo diebus exhibeamus nosmetipsos sicut Dei ministros, in multa patientia, in vigiliis multis, in orationibus frequenter, in ieiuniis, et caritate non ficta.

English translation Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. Therefore in these days, let us show ourselves as ministers of the Lord through great patience, in great watchfulness, with frequent prayer, in great fasting and unfeigned love.
