Lectio
Vos genus eléctum, regále sacerdótium, gens sancta, pópulus in acquisitiónem,
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, an acquired people,
ut virtútes annuntiétis ejus, qui de ténebris vos vocávit in admirábile lumen suum;
so that you may announce the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
qui aliquándo non pópulus, nunc autem pópulus Dei;
Though in past times you were not a people, yet now you are the people of God.
qui non consecúti misericórdiam nunc autem misericórdiam consecúti.
Though you had not obtained mercy, yet now you have obtained mercy.
