Original text and translations
The text is an amalgamation of an antiphon and excerpts from Matth 16, 19 & 18.
Latin text Tu es pastor ovium, princeps apostolorum, tibi traditae sunt claves regni caelorum. Quodcumque ligaveris super terram erit ligatum et in caelis et quodcumque solveris super terram erit solutum et in caelis. |
German translation Du bist der Hirte der Schafe, der Erste der Apostel, dir wurden die Schlüssel des Himmelreichs übergeben. Was du auf Erden binden wirst, soll auch im Himmel gebunden sein, und was du auf Erden lösen wirst, soll auch im Himmel gelöst sein. |
English translation You are the shepherdof the flock, the first of the apostles, to you are given the keys of the heavenly reign. Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. |
