pour détruire nos œuvres et les a détruites sur l'autel de la Croix, et nous a donné pour sa gloire et pour l'avantage des fidèles, la puissance de vous commander comme nous vous commandons et ordonnons de n'oser approcher, par le Christ, Seigneur votre Dieu; ✝ ✝ voici la croix du Seigneur, fuyez, parties contraires; le lion de la tribu de Juda, la racine de David a vaincu. Louez le Seigneur. Ainsi soit-il, ainsi soit-il; que cela soit fait, que cela soit fait!

to destroy our works, and who destroyed them upon the altar of the Cross, and gave us, for his glory and the benefit of the faithful, the power to command you, as we now command and order you not to dare approach, through Christ, the Lord your God. ✝ ✝ Behold the cross of the Lord! Flee, hostile powers! The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered. Praise the Lord. Amen, amen; let it be done, let it be done!
