If this is the first Hour that you are reciting today, you should precede it with the Invitatory Psalm.
Deus, in adiutórium meum inténde.
Dómine, ad adiuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Iam, Christe, sol iustítiæ,
mentis dehíscant ténebræ,
virtútum ut lux rédeat,
terris diem cum réparas.
Dans tempus acceptábile
et pǽnitens cor tríbue,
convértat ut benígnitas
quos longa suffert píetas;
Quiddámque pæniténtiæ
da ferre, quo fit démptio,
maióre tuo múnere,
culpárum quamvis grándium.
Dies venit, dies tua,
per quam reflórent ómnia;
lætémur in hac ut tuæ
per hanc redúcti grátiæ.
Te rerum univérsitas,
clemens, adóret, Trínitas,
et nos novi per véniam
novum canámus cánticum. Amen.

Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with thee to mourn our sins,
And close by thee to stay.
As thou with Satan didst contend,
And didst the victory win,
O give us strength in thee to fight,
In thee to conquer sin.
As thirst and hunger thou didst bear,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and daily live
By thy most holy word.
And through these days of penitence,
And through thy Passiontide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
Jesus, with us abide.

Ps 50:3-21
| Psalm 50 (51)

Lamentatio populi tempore famis et belli
Cognóvimus, Dómine, iniquitátes nostras, quia peccávimus tibi.
17Dedúcant óculi mei lácrimam per noctem et diem,*
et non táceant,
quóniam contritióne magna contríta est virgo fília pópuli mei,*
plaga péssima veheménter.
18Si egréssus fúero ad agros, ecce occísi gládio;*
et si introíero in civitátem, ecce attenuáti fame:
prophéta quoque et sacérdos*
abiérunt per terram nesciéntes.
19Numquid proíciens abiecísti Iudam,*
aut Sion abomináta est ánima tua?
Quare ergo percussísti nos,*
ita ut nulla sit sánitas?
Exspectávimus pacem, et non est bonum,*
et tempus curatiónis, et ecce turbátio.
20Cognóvimus, Dómine, impietátes nostras,†
iniquitátes patrum nostrórum,*
quia peccávimus tibi.
21Ne des nos in oppróbrium propter nomen tuum,*
ne fácias contuméliam sólio glóriæ tuæ;
recordáre,*
ne írritum fácias fœdus tuum nobíscum.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Cognóvimus, Dómine, iniquitátes nostras, quia peccávimus tibi.

Lamentation of the people in the time of famine and warWe know our offences, Lord; we have sinned against you.
Let my eyes shed tears, night and day, let them never cease,
for the daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction,
with the worst of all wounds.
If I go out into the fields – behold, those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city – behold, those wasted by famine.
Prophet and priest go through the land, they know nothing.
Surely you have not rejected Judah, thrust him from you?
Surely Zion has not become hateful to your heart?
Why have you struck us down beyond all hope of healing?
We have looked for peace, but no good came;
we have looked for the time of healing, but trouble came instead.
We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the evil done by our fathers:
we acknowledge that we have sinned.
Do not make us a reproach, for your name’s sake,
and do not make us a disgrace before the throne of your glory.
Remember the covenant you made with us: do not bring it to an end.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
We know our offences, Lord; we have sinned against you.

Ps 99:1-5
| Psalm 99 (100)
|
Iustificábit iustus servus meus multos et iniquitátes eórum ipse portábit. Ideo dispértiam ei multos, et cum fórtibus dívidet spólia, pro eo quod trádidit in mortem ánimam suam et cum scelerátis reputátus est; et ipse peccátum multórum tulit et pro transgressóribus rogat.
|
By his sufferings shall my servant justify many, taking their faults on himself. Hence I will grant whole hordes for his tribute, he shall divide the spoil with the mighty, for surrendering himself to death and letting himself be taken for a sinner, while he was bearing the faults of many and praying all the time for sinners.
|
℣. Ipse liberábit me* De láqueo venántium. Ipse.
℟. Et a verbo malígno.* De láqueo venántium. Glória Patri. Ipse.
|
It is he who will free me from the snare of the hunters.
– It is he who will free me from the snare of the hunters.
And from the evil word.
– It is he who will free me from the snare of the hunters.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
– It is he who will free me from the snare of the hunters.

De Messia eiusque præcursoreMagíster, quod est mandátum magnum in lege? Ait illi Iesus: Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo.
Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel,*
quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ
et eréxit cornu salútis nobis*
in domo David púeri sui,
sicut locútus est per os sanctórum,*
qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum eius,
salútem ex inimícis nostris*
et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos;
ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris*
et memorári testaménti sui sancti,
iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,*
datúrum se nobis,
ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum liberáti,*
serviámus illi
in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso*
ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis:*
præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius,
ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius*
in remissiónem peccatórum eórum,
per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri,*
in quibus visitábit nos óriens ex alto,
illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent*
ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Magíster, quod est mandátum magnum in lege? Ait illi Iesus: Díliges Dóminum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo.

The Messiah and his forerunner‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’ Jesus said, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart.’
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption.
He has raised up the sign of salvation
in the house of his servant David,
as he promised through the mouth of the holy ones,
his prophets through the ages:
to rescue us from our enemies
and all who hate us,
to take pity on our fathers,
to remember his holy covenant
and the oath he swore to Abraham our father,
that he would give himself to us,
that we could serve him without fear
– freed from the hands of our enemies –
in uprightness and holiness before him,
for all of our days.
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High:
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his path,
to let his people know their salvation,
so that their sins may be forgiven.
Through the bottomless mercy of our God,
one born on high will visit us
to give light to those who walk in darkness,
who live in the shadow of death;
to lead our feet in the path of peace.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’ Jesus said, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart.’

Grátias agámus Christo Dómino, qui in cruce móriens nobis vitam cóntulit, eúmque ex corde deprecémur:
– Per mortem tuam vivífica nos.
Magíster et Salvátor noster, qui fídei tuæ documénta nobis contulísti, nosque innovásti glória passiónis,
fac ne veterascámus in áctibus pravitátis.
– Per mortem tuam vivífica nos.
Præsta nobis, ut hódie cibórum saturitátem córpori nostro subtráhere sciámus,
ut frátribus nostris indigéntibus succurrámus.
– Per mortem tuam vivífica nos.
Da hunc sanctum quadragesimálem diem a te nos devóte suscípere
et per ópera misericórdiæ tibi consecráre.
– Per mortem tuam vivífica nos.
Córrige mentes nostras rebélles
nosque magnánimos éffice.
– Per mortem tuam vivífica nos.

We give thanks to Christ the Lord, who died on the cross that we might live. Let us pray to him with all our heart.
– Lord Jesus, may your death bring us to life.
Master and Saviour, you have taught us by your life and renewed us by your passion;
do not allow us to grow used to sin.
– Lord Jesus, may your death bring us to life.
You call on us to feed the hungry;
let us deny ourselves some food this day to help our brothers in their need.
– Lord Jesus, may your death bring us to life.
May we accept from your hands this day of Lent;
may we make it yours by deeds of love.
– Lord Jesus, may your death bring us to life.
End the rebellion within our hearts;
make us generous and willing to share.
– Lord Jesus, may your death bring us to life.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum 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.
| 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.
|
Córdibus nostris, quǽsumus, Dómine, grátiam tuam benígnus infúnde, ut ab humánis semper retrahámur excéssibus et mónitis inhærére valeámus, te largiénte, cæléstibus.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
| Lord, open our hearts to your grace.
Restrain us from all human waywardness
and keep us faithful to your commandments.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
|
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam.
Amen.
| The Lord bless us, and keep us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
