Together with <i>Ps</i> 44. 2, <i>Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum&#160;: dico ego ópers mea Regi</i>, it forms the <i>Introit</i> of the former of the two Masses of the <i>Common of a virgin not a martyr</i>. The grammatical variation on 'Thou didst love justice and hate iniquity', the original of which was said in apostrophe to the canonised virgin not a martyr, whose feast is being celebrated. Gregory (or his eulogizers), therefore, was likely quoting from a familiar liturgical text.
