Deus Noster

Deus Noster
(St. Patrick's Creed)

St. Patrick's Reply to the Questions of Ethne the Fair

Deus noster, Deus omnium hominum,
Deus caeli ac terrae, maris et fluminum,
Deus solis ac lunae, omnium siderum,
Deus montium sublimium, valliumque humilium,
Deus super caelo et in caelo et sub caelo.

Habet habitaculum
Erga caelum et terram et mare
et omni quae sunt in eis.

Inspirat omnia,
Vivificat omnia,
Superat omnia,
Suffulcit omnia.

Solis lumen illuminat,
lumen noctis et notitias vallat
et fontes fecit in arida terra
et insolas in mari siccas
et stellas in ministerium
maiorum luminum posuit.

Filium habet
coaeternum sibi et consimilem sibi;
non iunior Filius Patri
nec Pater Filio senior.

Et Spiritus Sanctus
inflat in eis;
non separantur Pater
et Filius et Spiritus Sanctus.

Our God, God of all mankind,
God of heaven and earth, sea and rivers,
God of sun and moon, of all the stars,
God of high mountains and low valleys,
God over heaven and in heaven and under heaven.

He has a dwelling
in heaven and earth and sea
and in all things that are in them.

He inspires all,
he quickens all,
he is over all,
he supports all.

He makes the light of the sun to shine.
The light of the night and the stars he surrounds,
and he has made wells in the dry earth,
placed dry islands in the sea
and stars for the service
of the greater lights.

He has a Son
coeternal with himself, like unto himself;
the Son is not younger than the Father,
nor the Father older than the Son.

And the Holy Spirit
breathes in them;
not separate are the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

St. Patrick of Ireland
