# Verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), Lauds
# live query, 2026-08-12 -- the "Commemoratio S. Claræ Virginis" block
# that follows St. Lawrence's own collect on any ordinary day within his
# octave (she's never the day's own winner in this app's calendar, always
# commemorated -- see st-clare.yml). Antiphon + versicle/response + full
# collect (with its own doxology and Amen, since this stands alone rather
# than chaining into another suffrage the way lauds-suffrage-*.yml's do)
# -- see hours/resolve-common.ts's getDayCollects for how a sanctoral
# commemoration renders this whole bundle, falling back to just the bare
# collect (st-clare-collect.yml) for a saint without one of these authored.

    Ant. Símile est regnum cælórum * hómini negotiatóri quærénti bonas margarítas: invénta una pretiósa, dedit ómnia sua, et comparávit eam.
    V. Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis.
    R. Proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
    Orémus.
    Exáudi nos, Deus, salutáris noster: ut sicut de beátæ Claræ Vírginis tuæ festivitáte gaudémus; ita piæ devotiónis erudiámur afféctu.
    Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    ℟. Amen.

    Ant. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman * seeking goodly pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
    V. Grace is poured into thy lips.
    R. Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
    Let us pray.
    Graciously hear us, O God of our salvation; that as we rejoice in the festivity of blessed Clare thy Virgin, we may be instructed in the affections of a loving devotion.
    Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
    ℟. Amen.
