nostrum
in
Ulysses, by James Joyce
- —Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini.†
Chpt 12 *
- And he laid his hands upon that he blessed and gave thanks and he prayed and they all with him prayed: —Deus, cuius verbo sanctificantur omnia, benedictionem tuam effunde super creaturas istas: et praesta ut quisquis eis secundum legem et voluntatem Tuam cum gratiarum actione usus fuerit per invocationem sanctissimi nominis Tui corporis sanitatem et animae tutelam Te auctore percipiat per Christum Dominum nostrum.†
Chpt 12
