Latin text

Paulus apostolus spirans in discipulos Domini
cum iter faceret et appropinquaret Damasco,
subiter circumfulsit eum lux de caelo,
et cadens in terra audivit vocem dicentem sibi:
'Saule, quid me persequeris?'
Qui audita voce dixit:
'Quis es, Domine?'
'Ego sum Iesus Nazarenus,
quem tu persequeris.
Durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.'
'Domine, quid vis me facere?'
'Surge, quia vas electionis factus es mihi,
plenus spiritu sancto,
ut portes nomen meum in universo mundo.'
