Scápulis suis obumbrábit tibi: et sub pennis ejus sperábis.

Scuto circúmdabit te véritas ejus: non timébis a timóre noctúrno,

A sagítta volánte in die, a negótio perambulánte in ténebris: ab incúrsu, et dæmónio meridiáno.

Cadent a látere tuo mille, et decem míllia a dextris tuis: ad te autem non appropinquábit.

Verúmtamen óculis tuis considerábis: et retributiónem peccatórum vidébis.

Quóniam tu es, Dómine, spes mea: Altíssimum posuísti refúgium tuum.

Non accédet ad te malum: et flagéllum non appropinquábit tabernáculo tuo.

Quóniam Angelis suis mandávit de te: ut custódiant te in ómnibus viis tuis.

In mánibus portábunt te: ne forte offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.

Super áspidem, et basilíscum ambulábis: et conculcábis leónem et dracónem.

Quóniam in me sperávit, liberábo eum: prótegam eum, quóniam cognóvit nomen meum.

Clamábit ad me, et ego exáudiam eum: cum ipso sum in tribulatióne: erípiam eum et glorificábo eum.

Longitúdine diérum replébo eum: et osténdam illi salutáre meum.

I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? Why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they are multiplied.

In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:

For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

HE that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.

But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

BEHOLD now bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord:

Who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places, and bless ye the Lord.

May the Lord out of Sion bless thee, he that made heaven and earth.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Creator of the world, we pray

That, with thy wonted favor, thou

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,

From nightly fears and fantasies;

That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum: sana me, Dómine, quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea.

Et ánima mea turbáta est valde: sed tu, Dómine, úsquequo?

Convértere, Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.

Quóniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui: in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi?

Laborávi in gémitu meo, lavábo per síngulas noctes lectum meum: lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábo.

Turbátus est a furóre óculus meus: inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.

Discédite a me, omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem: quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei.

Exaudívit Dóminus deprecatiónem meam, Dóminus oratiónem meam suscépit.

Dómine, Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iníquitas in mánibus meis:

Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis.

Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.

Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua: et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.

Et exsúrge, Dómine, Deus meus, in præcépto quod mandásti: et synagóga populórum circúmdabit te.

Et propter hanc in altum regrédere: Dóminus júdicat pópulos.

Júdica me, Dómine, secúndum justítiam meam, et secúndum innocéntiam meam super me.

Consumétur nequítia peccatórum, et díriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

JUSTUM adjutórium meum a Dómino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.

Deus judex justus, fortis, et pátiens: numquid iráscitur per síngulos dies?

Nisi convérsi fuéritis, gládium suum vibrábit: arcum suum teténdit, et parávit illum.

Et in eo parávit vasa mortis: sagíttas suas ardéntibus effécit.

OPEN my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding, inflame my will, that I may worthily recite this Office with attention and devotion, and deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

O Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to thee this Hour.

V. Pray, Lord, a blessing.

Blessing: May the Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. R. Amen.

BRETHREN: Be sober, be watchful! For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. R. Thanks be to God.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who hath made heaven and earth.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, to pray to our Lord our God for me.

MAY almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.

MAY the almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, + absolution and remission of our sins. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Alleluia.

Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.

Ant. Save me.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O LORD my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:

If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.

Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.

And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: and a congregation of people shall surround thee.

And for their sakes return thou on high. The Lord judgeth the people.

Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.

The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

JUST is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.

God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.

Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.

He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole he made.

His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.

I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most High.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Save me, O Lord, for thy mercy’s sake.

BEFORE the ending of the day,

Creator of the world, we pray

That, with thy wonted favor, thou

Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,

From nightly fears and fantasies;

Tread under foot our ghostly foe,

That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

BUT thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us: forsake us not, O Lord our God.

R. Thanks be to God.

Short responsory: Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. V. For Thou hast redeemed us, O Lord, God of truth. I commend my spirit. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.

V. Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of Thy eye.

R. Protect us under the shadow of Thy wings.

Ant. Save us.

Luke 2, 29-32

+ NOW Thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;

Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Save us, O Lord, while we are awake, and guard us when we sleep: that we may watch with Christ, and rest in peace.

LORD, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

V. And lead us not into temptation.

R. But deliver us from evil.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.

V. The resurrection of the body.

R. And life everlasting. Amen.

V. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, R. And to be praised and glorified above all forever.

V. Let us bless the Father, and the Son, with the Holy Ghost. R. Let us praise and exalt him above all forever.

V. Blessed art thou, O Lord, in the firmament of heaven. R. And to be praised and glorified, and exalted above all forever.

V. May the Lord, the almighty and merciful, bless and keep us. R. Amen.

V. Vouchsafe, O Lord, this night. R. To keep us without sin.

V. Have mercy on us, O Lord. R. Have mercy on us.

V. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us. R. As we have hoped in thee.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto thee.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray.

VISIT, we beseech thee, O Lord, this house, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy: let thy holy Angels dwell herein, who may keep us in peace; and let thy blessing be always upon us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

V. Let us bless the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

Blessing: May the almighty and merciful Lord, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, bless and preserve us. R. Amen.

HAIL, holy Queen, mother of mercy! Hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, who, by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst so make ready the body andsoul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary, that she deserved to become a meet dwelling for thy Son: grant that we, who rejoice in her memory, may by her loving intercession be delivered from the evils that hang over us, and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.

TO the most holy and undivided Trinity, to the manhood of our crucified Lord Jesus Christ, to the fruitful virginity of the most blessed and glorious Mary, ever virgin, to the entire assembly of the saints, be ascribed everlasting praise, honor, power, and glory, by every creature; and to us be granted the remission of all our sins, world without end. R. Amen.

V. Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.

R. And blessed are the breasts which nourished Christ the Lord.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Ant. Tu, Dómine.

SALVUM me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus: quóniam diminútæ sunt veritátes a fíliis hóminum.

Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum: lábia dolósa, in corde et corde locúti sunt.

Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa, et linguam magníloquam.

Qui dixérunt: Linguam nostram magnificábimus, lábia nostra a nobis sunt, quis noster Dóminus est?

Propter misériam ínopum, et gémitum páuperum, nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus.

Ponam in salutári: fiduciáliter agam in eo.

Elóquia Dómini, elóquia casta: argéntum igne ex aminátum, probátum terræ purgátum séptuplum.

Tu, Dómine, servábis nos: et custódies nos a generatióne hac in ætérnum.

In circúitu ímpii ámbulant: secúndum altitúdinem tuam multiplicásti fílios hóminum.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

USQUEQUO, Dómine, obliviscéris me in finem? Usquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me?

Quámdiu ponam consília in ánima mea, dolórem in corde meo per diem?

Usquequo exaltábitur inimícus meus super me? réspice, et exáudi me, Dómine, Deus meus.

Illúmina óculos meos ne umquam obdórmiam in morte: nequándo dicat inimícus meus: Præválui advérsus eum.

Qui tríbulant me, exsultábunt si motus fúero: ego autem in misericórdia tua sperávi.

Exsultábit cor meum in salutári tuo: cantábo Dómino qui bona tríbuit mihi: et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

CONSÉRVA me, Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.

Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.

Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: póstea acceleravérunt.

Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.

Dóminus pars hereditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: tu es, qui restítues hereditátem meam mihi.

Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: étenim heréditas mea præclára est mihi.

Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.

Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.

Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.

Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.

Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

OPEN my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding, inflame my will, that I may worthily recite this Office with attention and devotion, and deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty.

I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.

Ant. Thou, O Lord.

SAVE me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?

By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord.

I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.

Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

HOW long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God.

Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death: lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him.

They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved: but I have trusted in thy mercy.

My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most High.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

PRESERVE me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste.

I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.

I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us and keep us forever.

BEFORE the ending of the day,

Creator of the world, we pray

That, with thy wonted favor, thou

Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,

From nightly fears and fantasies;

Tread under foot our ghostly foe,

That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

BUT thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us: forsake us not, O Lord our God.

R. Thanks be to God.

Short responsory: Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. V. For Thou hast redeemed us, O Lord, God of truth. I commend my spirit. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.

V. Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of Thy eye.

R. Protect us under the shadow of Thy wings.

Ant. Save us.

Luke 2, 29-32

Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

V. And lead us not into temptation.

R. But deliver us from evil.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.

V. The resurrection of the body.

R. And life everlasting. Amen.

V. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, R. And to be praised and glorified above all forever.

V. Let us bless the Father, and the Son, with the Holy Ghost. R. Let us praise and exalt him above all forever.

V. May the Lord, the almighty and merciful, bless and keep us. R. Amen.

V. Vouchsafe, O Lord, this night. R. To keep us without sin.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto thee.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray.

VISIT, we beseech thee, O Lord, this house, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy: let thy holy Angels dwell herein, who may keep us in peace; and let thy blessing be always upon us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

V. Let us bless the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

Blessing: May the almighty and merciful Lord, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, bless and preserve us. R. Amen.

HAIL, holy Queen, mother of mercy! Hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, who, by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst so make ready the body andsoul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary, that she deserved to become a meet dwelling for thy Son: grant that we, who rejoice in her memory, may by her loving intercession be delivered from the evils that hang over us, and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.

TO the most holy and undivided Trinity, to the manhood of our crucified Lord Jesus Christ, to the fruitful virginity of the most blessed and glorious Mary, ever virgin, to the entire assembly of the saints, be ascribed everlasting praise, honor, power, and glory, by every creature; and to us be granted the remission of all our sins, world without end. R. Amen.

V. Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.

R. And blessed are the breasts which nourished Christ the Lord.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Exquisívi Dóminum, et exaudívit me: et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus meis erípuit me.

Accédite ad eum, et illuminámini: et fácies vestræ non confundéntur.

Iste pauper clamávit, et Dóminus exaudívit eum: et de ómnibus tribulatiónibus ejus salvávit eum.

VENÍTE, fílii, audíte me: timórem Dómini docébo vos.

Quis est homo qui vult vitam: díligit dies vidére bonos?

Próhibe linguam tuam a malo: et lábia tua ne loquántur dolum.

Divérte a malo, et fac bonum: inquíre pacem, et perséquere eam.

Oculi Dómini super justos: et aures ejus in preces eórum.

Vultus autem Dómini super faciéntes mala: * ut perdat de terra memóriam eórum.

Clamavérunt justi, et Dóminus exaudívit eos: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.

Juxta est Dóminus iis, qui tribuláto sunt corde: et húmiles spíritu salvábit.

Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.

Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: unum ex his non conterétur.

Mors peccatórum péssima: et qui odérunt justum, delínquent.

Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

EXÁUDI, Deus, deprecatiónem meam: inténde oratióni meæ.

A fínibus terræ ad te clamávi: dum anxiarétur cor meum, in petra exaltásti me.

Deduxísti me, quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitúdinis a fácie inimíci.

Inhabitábo in tabernáculo tuo in sæcula: prótegar in velaménto alárum tuárum.

Quóniam tu, Deus meus, exaudísti oratiónem meam: dedísti hereditátem timéntibus nomen tuum.

Dies super dies regis adjícies: annos ejus usque in diem generatiónis et generatiónis.

Pérmanet in ætérnum in conspéctu Dei: misericórdiam et veritátem ejus quis requíret?

Sic psalmum dicam nómini tuo in sæculum sæculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.

Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.

But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.

The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.

The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.

The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

HEAR, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer.

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock.

Thou hast conducted me; for thou hast been my hope: a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

Avertántur statim erubescéntes, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.

Exsúltent etlæténtur in te omnes qui quærunt te, et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.

Ego vero egénus, et pauper sum: Deus, ádjuva me.

Adjútor meus, et liberátor meus es tu: Dómine, ne moréris.

Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in locum munítum: ut salvum me fácias,

Quóniam firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum es tu.

Deus meus, éripe me de manu peccatóris, et de manu contra legem agéntis et iníqui:

Quóniam tu es patiéntia mea, Dómine: Dómine, spes mea a juventúte mea.

In te confirmátus sum ex útero: de ventre matris meæ tu es protéctor meus.

In te cantátio mea semper: tamquam prodígium factus sum multis: et tu adjútor fortis.

Repleátur os meum laude, ut cantem glóriam tuam: tota die magnitúdinem tuam.

Ne projícias me in témpore senectútis: cum defécerit virtus mea, ne derelínquas me.

Quia dixérunt inimíci mei mihi: et qui custodiébant ánimam meam, consílium fecérunt in unum.

Dicéntes: Deus derelíquit eum, persequímini, et comprehéndite eum: quia non est qui erípiat.

Os meum annuntiábit justítiam tuam: tota die salutáre tuum.

Quóniam non cognóvi litteratúram, introíbo in poténtias Dómini: Dómine, memorábor justítiæ tuæ solíus.

Deus, docuísti me a juventúte mea: et usque nunc pronuntiábo mirabília tua.

Et usque in senéctam et sénium: Deus, ne derelínquas me,

Donec annúntiem bráchium tuum generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est:

Poténtiam tuam, et justítiam tuam, Deus, usque in altíssima, quæ fecísti magnália: Deus, quis símilis tibi?

Quantas ostendísti mihi tribulatiónes multas et malas: et convérsus vivificásti me: et de abýssis terræ íterum reduxísti me:

Multiplicásti magnificéntiam tuam: et convérsus consolátus es me.

Nam et ego confitébor tibi in vasis psalmi veritátem tuam: Deus, psallam tibi in cíthara, Sanctus Israel.

Exsultábunt lábia mea cum cantávero tibi: et ánima mea, quam redemísti.

Sed et lingua mea tota die meditábitur justítiam tuam: cum confúsi et revériti fúerint, qui quærunt mala mihi.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

O GOD, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me.

Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

IN thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me.

Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe.

For thou art my firmament and my refuge.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.

For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth.

By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector.

Of thee shall I continually sing: I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.

Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.

Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,

Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.

My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long.

Because I have not known learning, I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.

Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.

And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not,

Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come:

Thy power, and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?

How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:

Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.

For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.

My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.

Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

APERI, Dómine, os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus; intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.

Benedictio: Noctem quiétam, et finem perféctum concédat nobis Dóminus omnípotens. R. Amen.

FRATRES: Sóbrii estóte, et vigiláte: quia adversárius vester diábolus tamquam leo rúgiens círcuit, quærens quem dévoret: cui resístite fortes in fide. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis. R. Deo grátias.

V. Adjutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini. R. Qui fecit cælum et terram.

PATER noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum. Advéniat regnum tuum. Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie. Et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.

CONFÍTEOR Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper Vírgini, beáto Michaéli Archángelo, beáto Joánni Baptístæ, sanctis Apóstolis Petro et Paulo, et ómnibus Sanctis, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo et ópere: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.

Laus tibi, Dómine, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ.

Ant. Voce mea. +

VOCE mea + ad Dóminum clamávi: voce mea ad Deum, et inténdit mihi.

In die tribulatiónis meæ Deum exquisívi, mánibus meis nocte contra eum: et non sum decéptus.

Rénuit consolári ánima mea, memor fui Dei, et delectátus sum, et exercitátus sum: et defécit spíritus meus.

Anticipavérunt vigílias óculi mei: turbátus sum, et non sum locútus.

Cogitávi dies antíquos: et annos ætérnos in mente hábui.

Et meditátus sum nocte cum corde meo, et exercitábar, et scopébam spíritum meum.

Numquid in ætérnum projíciet Deus: aut non appónet ut complacítior sit adhuc?

Aut in finem misericórdiam suam abscíndet, a generatióne in generatiónem?

Aut obliviscétur miseréri Deus? aut continébit in ira sua misericórdias suas?

Et dixi: Nunc cœpi: hæc mutátio déxteræ Excélsi.

Memor fui óperum Dómini: quia memor ero ab inítio mirabílium tuórum.

Et meditábor in ómnibus opéribus tuis: et in adinventiónibus tuis exercébor.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

DEUS, in sancto via tua: quis Deus magnus sicut Deus noster? tu es Deus qui facis mirabília.

Notam fecísti in pópulis virtútem tuam: redemísti in bráchio tuo pópulum tuum, fílios Jacob et Joseph.

Vidérunt te aquæ, Deus, vidérunt te aquæ: et timuérunt, et turbátæ sunt abýssi.

Multitúdo sónitus aquárum: vocem dedérunt nubes.

Etenim sagíttæ tuæ tránseunt: vox tonítrui tui in rota.

Illuxérunt coruscatiónes tuæ orbi terræ: commóta est, et contrémuit terra.

In mari via tua, et sémitæ tuæ in aquis multis: et vestígia tua non cognoscéntur.

Deduxísti sicut oves pópulum tuum, in manu Móysi et Aaron.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

INCLÍNA, Dómine, aurem tuam, et exáudi me: quóniam inops, et pauper sum ego.

Custódi ánimam meam, quóniam sanctus sum: salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te.

Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die: lætífica ánimam servi tui, quóniam ad te, Dómine, ánimam meam levávi.

Quóniam tu, Dómine, suávis, et mitis: et multæ misericórdiæ ómnibus invocántibus te.

Auribus pércipe, Dómine, oratiónem meam: et inténde voci deprecatiónis meæ.

In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te: quia exaudísti me.

Non est símilis tui in diis, Dómine: et non est secúndum ópera tua.

Omnes gentes quascúmque fecísti, vénient, et adorábunt coram te, Dómine: et glorificábunt nomen tuum.

Quóniam magnus es tu, et fáciens mirabília: tu es Deus solus.

Deduc me, Dómine, in via tua, et ingrédiar in veritáte tua: lætétur cor meum ut tímeat nomen tuum.

Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Deus meus, in toto corde meo, et glorificábo nomen tuum in ætérnum:

Quia misericórdia tua magna est super me: et eruísti ánimam meam ex inférno inferióri.

Deus, iníqui insurrexérunt super me, et synagóga poténtium quæsiérunt ánimam meam: et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.

Et tu, Dómine, Deus miserátor et miséricors, pátiens, et multæ misericórdiæ, et verax,

Réspice in me, et miserére mei, da impérium tuum púero tuo: et salvum fac fílium ancíllæ tuæ.

Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut vídeant qui odérunt me, et confundántur: quóniam tu, Dómine, adjuvísti me, et consolátus es me.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Ant. Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: neque obliviscétur miseréri Deus.

TE lucis ante términum,

Rerum Creátor, póscimus,

Ut pro tua cleméntia

Sis præsul et custódia.

Procul recédant sómnia,

Et nóctium phantásmata;

Ne polluántur córpora.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Unice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sæculum.

Amen.

TU autem in nobis es, Dómine, et nomen sanctum tuum invocátum est super nos: ne derelínquas nos, Dómine, Deus noster.

R. Deo grátias.

Responsorium breve: In manus tuas, Dómine, comméndo spíritum meum. In manus tuas, Dómine, comméndo spíritum meum. R. Redemísti nos, Dómine, Deus veritátis. Comméndo spíritum meum. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. In manus tuas, Dómine, comméndo spíritum meum.

R. Sub umbra alárum tuárum prótege nos.

Ant. Salva nos.

Luc. 2, 29-32

Quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum,

Quod parásti ante fáciem ómnium populórum,

Lumen ad revelatiónem géntium, et glóriam plebis tuæ Israel.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

OPEN my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding, inflame my will, that I may worthily recite this Office with attention and devotion, and deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

O Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to thee this Hour.

V. Pray, Lord, a blessing.

Blessing: May the Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. R. Amen.

BRETHREN: Be sober, be watchful! For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. R. Thanks be to God.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who hath made heaven and earth.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Alleluia.

Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.

Ant. I cried to the Lord.

I CRIED to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived.

My soul refused to be comforted: I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

THY way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? Thou art the God that dost wonders.

Thou hast made thy power known among the nations: with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound.

For thy arrows pass: the voice of thy thunder in a wheel.

Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

INCLINE thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.

Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day. Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.

I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.

There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.

All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.

For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.

Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:

For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.

O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.

And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.

O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. I cried to the Lord with my voice: and God will not forget to show mercy.

BEFORE the ending of the day,

Creator of the world, we pray

That, with thy wonted favor, thou

Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,

From nightly fears and fantasies;

Tread under foot our ghostly foe,

That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

BUT thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us: forsake us not, O Lord our God.

R. Thanks be to God.

Short responsory: Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. V. For Thou hast redeemed us, O Lord, God of truth. I commend my spirit. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.

V. Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of Thy eye.

R. Protect us under the shadow of Thy wings.

Ant. Save us.

Luke 2, 29-32

+ NOW Thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;

Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Save us, O Lord, while we are awake, and guard us when we sleep: that we may watch with Christ, and rest in peace.

LORD, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

V. And lead us not into temptation.

R. But deliver us from evil.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.

V. The resurrection of the body.

R. And life everlasting. Amen.

V. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, R. And to be praised and glorified above all forever.

V. Have mercy on us, O Lord. R. Have mercy on us.

V. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us. R. As we have hoped in thee.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto thee.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray.

VISIT, we beseech thee, O Lord, this house, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy: let thy holy Angels dwell herein, who may keep us in peace; and let thy blessing be always upon us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

V. Let us bless the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

Blessing: May the almighty and merciful Lord, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, bless and preserve us. R. Amen.

HAIL, holy Queen, mother of mercy! Hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, who, by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst so make ready the body andsoul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary, that she deserved to become a meet dwelling for thy Son: grant that we, who rejoice in her memory, may by her loving intercession be delivered from the evils that hang over us, and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.

TO the most holy and undivided Trinity, to the manhood of our crucified Lord Jesus Christ, to the fruitful virginity of the most blessed and glorious Mary, ever virgin, to the entire assembly of the saints, be ascribed everlasting praise, honor, power, and glory, by every creature; and to us be granted the remission of all our sins, world without end. R. Amen.

V. Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.

R. And blessed are the breasts which nourished Christ the Lord.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

DÓMINE, Deus salútis meæ: in die clamávi, et nocte coram te.

Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:

Quia repléta est malis ánima mea: et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.

Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum: factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.

Sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlcris, quorum non es memor ámplius: et ipsi de manu tua repúlsi sunt.

Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri: in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.

Super me confirmátus est furor tuus: et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.

Longe fecísti notos meos a me: posuérunt me abominatiónem sibi.

Tráditus sum, et non egrediébar: óculi mei languérunt præ inópia.

Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die: expándi ad te manus meas.

Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?

Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlcro misericórdiam tuam, et veritátem tuam in perditióne?

Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua, et justítia tua in terra obliviónis?

Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi: et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.

Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis oratiónem meam: avértis fáciem tuam a me?

Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a juventúte mea: exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.

In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.

Circumdedérunt me sicut aqua tota die: circumdedérunt me simul.

Elongásti a me amícum et próximum: et notos meos a miséria.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

BÉNEDIC, ánima mea, Dómino: et ómnia, quæ intra me sunt, nómini sancto ejus.

Bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino: et noli oblivísci omnes retributiónes ejus.

Qui propitiátur ómnibus iniquitátibus tuis: qui sanat omnes infirmitátes tuas.

Qui rédimit de intéritu vitam tuam: qui corónat te in misericórdia et miseratiónibus.

Qui replet in bonis desidérium tuum: renovábitur ut áquilæ juvéntus tua:

Fáciens misericórdias Dóminus: et judícium ómnibus injúriam patiéntibus.

Notas fecit vias suas Móysi, fíliis Israel voluntátes suas.

Miserátor, et miséricors Dóminus: longánimis, et multum miséricors.

Non in perpétuum irascétur: neque in ætérnum comminábitur.

Non secúndum peccáta nostra fecit nobis: neque secúndum iniquitátes nostras retríbuit nobis.

Quóniam secúndum altitúdinem cæli a terra: corroborávit misericórdiam suam super timéntes se.

Quantum distat ortus ab occidénte: longe fecit a nobis iniquitátes nostras.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

QUÓMODO miserétur pater filiórum, misértus est Dóminus timéntibus se: quóniam ipse cognóvit figméntum nostrum.

Recordátus est quóniam pulvis sumus: homo, sicut fœnum dies ejus, tamquam flos agri sic efflorébit.

Quóniam spíritus pertransíbit in illo, et non subsístet: et non cognóscet ámplius locum suum.

Misericórdia autem Dómini ab ætérno, et usque in ætérnum super timéntes eum.

Et justítia illíus in fílios filiórum, his qui servant testaméntum ejus:

Et mémores sunt mandatórum ipsíus, ad faciéndum ea.

Dóminus in cælo parávit sedem suam: et regnum ipsíus ómnibus dominábitur.

Benedícite Dómino, omnes Angeli ejus: poténtes virtúte, faciéntes verbum illíus, ad audiéndam vocem sermónum ejus.

Benedícite Dómino, omnes virtútes ejus: minístri ejus, qui fácitis voluntátem ejus.

Benedícite Dómino, ómnia ópera ejus: in omni loco dominatiónis ejus, bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Ant. Intret orátio mea in conspéctu tuo, Dómine.

TE lucis ante términum,

Rerum Creátor, póscimus,

Ut pro tua cleméntia

Sis præsul et custódia.

Procul recédant sómnia,

Et nóctium phantásmata;

Hostémque nostrum cómprime,

Ne polluántur córpora.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Unice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sæculum.

Amen.

Quod parásti ante fáciem ómnium populórum,

Lumen ad revelatiónem géntium, et glóriam plebis tuæ Israel.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

OPEN my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding, inflame my will, that I may worthily recite this Office with attention and devotion, and deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.

O Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to thee this Hour.

V. Pray, Lord, a blessing.

Blessing: May the Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. R. Amen.

BRETHREN: Be sober, be watchful! For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. R. Thanks be to God.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who hath made heaven and earth.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

Ant. Let my prayer come in.

O LORD, the God of my salvation: I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.

Let my prayer come in before thee: incline thy ear to my petition.

For my soul is filled with evils: and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.

I am counted among them that go down to the pit: I am become as a man without help, free among the dead.

Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cast off from thy hand.

They have laid me in the lower pit: in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.

Thy wrath is strong over me: and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.

Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: they have set me an abomination to themselves.

I was delivered up, and came not forth: my eyes languished through poverty.

All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: I stretched out my hands to thee.

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?

Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: and thy truth in destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?

But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.

Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: why turnest thou away thy face from me?

I am poor, and in labours from my youth: and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.

Thy wrath hath come upon me: and thy terrors have troubled me.

They have come round about me like water all the day: they have compassed me about together.

Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: and my acquaintance, because of misery.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

BLESS the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.

He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.

The Lord is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.

He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

AS a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him: for he knoweth our frame.

He remembereth that we are dust: man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him:

And his justice unto children’s children, to such as keep his covenant,

And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Let my prayer come in before thee, O Lord.

BEFORE the ending of the day,

Creator of the world, we pray

That, with thy wonted favor, thou

Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,

From nightly fears and fantasies;

Tread under foot our ghostly foe,

That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,

Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.

BUT thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us: forsake us not, O Lord our God.

Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Save us, O Lord, while we are awake, and guard us when we sleep: that we may watch with Christ, and rest in peace.

LORD, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

V. And lead us not into temptation.

R. But deliver us from evil.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.

V. The resurrection of the body.

R. And life everlasting. Amen.

V. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, R. And to be praised and glorified above all forever.

VISIT, we beseech thee, O Lord, this house, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy: let thy holy Angels dwell herein, who may keep us in peace; and let thy blessing be always upon us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

V. Let us bless the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

Blessing: May the almighty and merciful Lord, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, bless and preserve us. R. Amen.

HAIL, holy Queen, mother of mercy! Hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, who, by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst so make ready the body andsoul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary, that she deserved to become a meet dwelling for thy Son: grant that we, who rejoice in her memory, may by her loving intercession be delivered from the evils that hang over us, and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.

TO the most holy and undivided Trinity, to the manhood of our crucified Lord Jesus Christ, to the fruitful virginity of the most blessed and glorious Mary, ever virgin, to the entire assembly of the saints, be ascribed everlasting praise, honor, power, and glory, by every creature; and to us be granted the remission of all our sins, world without end. R. Amen.

V. Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.

R. And blessed are the breasts which nourished Christ the Lord.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
