# Verified against Divinum Officium ("Divino Afflatu 1954"), Terce live
# query, 2026-12-27 -- see lauds-psalmody-overrides/christmas-octave-
# sunday.yml's header. Reading matches Lauds' own capitulum (Gal 4:1-2,
# lauds-capitulum-christmas-octave-sunday.yml) -- Terce's chapter equals
# Lauds' in the Monastic tradition -- but with its own distinct closing
# versicle here, per the live rendering.

    Fratres: Quanto témpore heres párvulus est, nihil differt a servo, cum sit dóminus ómnium: sed sub tutóribus et actóribus est usque ad præfínitum tempus a patre.
    R. Deo grátias.
    V. Ipse invocábit me, allelúia.
    R. Pater meus es tu, allelúia.

    Brothers: As long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father.
    R. Thanks be to God.
    V. He shall cry unto Me, alleluia.
    R. Thou art My Father, alleluia.
