O God, come to our aid.
  O Lord, make haste to help us.

Hymnus
Peccatrícem qui solvísti
et latrónem exaudísti,
mihi quoque spem dedísti.
Preces meæ non sunt dignæ,
sed tu, bonus, fac benígne
ne perénni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum præsta
et ab hædis me sequéstra,
státuens in parte dextra.
Confutátis maledíctis,
flammis ácribus addíctis,
voca me cum benedíctis.
Oro supplex et acclínis,
cor contrítum quasi cinis,
gere curam mei finis.
Lacrimósa dies illa,
qua resúrget ex favílla
iudicándus homo reus:
huic ergo parce, Deus.
O tu, Deus maiestátis,
alme candor Trinitátis,
nos coniúnge cum beátis.
Amen.
Hymn
Through the sinful woman shriven,
Through the dying thief forgiven,
Thou to me a hope hast given.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying.
With thy sheep a place provide me,
From the goats afar divide me,
To thy right hand do thou guide me.
When the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me with thy saints surrounded.
Low I kneel, with heart’s submission,
See, like ashes, my contrition,
Help me in my last condition.
Ah! that day of tears and mourning,
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgement must prepare him,
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him.
O God of majesty
nourishing light of the Trinity
join us with the blessed. Amen.
Dies Iræ

Ps 114:1-9
Gratiarum actio

Per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei” (Act 14, 22).

Dómine, líbera ánimam meam de morte, pedes meos a lapsu.
1Diléxi, quóniam exáudit Dóminus*
  vocem deprecatiónis meæ.
2Quia inclinávit aurem suam mihi,*
  cum in diébus meis invocábam.
3Circumdedérunt me funes mortis,*
  et angústiæ inférni invenérunt me.
Tribulatiónem et dolórem invéni†
  4et nomen Dómini invocábam:*
  «O Dómine, líbera ánimam meam».
5Miséricors Dóminus et iustus,*
  et Deus noster miserétur.
6Custódiens párvulos Dóminus;*
  humiliátus sum, et salvum me fáciet.
7Convértere, ánima mea, in réquiem tuam,*
  quia Dóminus benefécit tibi;
8quia erípuit ánimam meam de morte,†
  óculos meos a lácrimis,*
  pedes meos a lapsu.
9Ambulábo coram Dómino*
  in regióne vivórum.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
  et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
  et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Dómine, líbera ánimam meam de morte, pedes meos a lapsu.

Psalm 114 (116A)
Thanksgiving

Lord, keep my soul from death, my feet from stumbling.
I love the Lord, for he has heard
  the cry of my appeal;
because he has turned his ear to me as I call on him,
  day by day.
The ropes of death surrounded me,
  Hell held me tight,
I had found pain and tribulation –
  but I called on the Lord’s name:
  “O Lord, free my soul.”
The Lord is compassionate and just;
  our God takes pity on us.
The Lord cares for the simple –
  I was brought low, but he saved me.
Return, my soul, to your rest,
  for the Lord has looked after you;
he has rescued my spirit from death, my eyes from tears,
  he has saved my feet from stumbling.
I shall walk in the presence of the Lord
  in the land of the living.
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.
Lord, keep my soul from death, my feet from stumbling.

Ps 120:1-8
Custos populi

Non esurient amplius, neque sitient amplius, neque cadet super illos sol neque ullus æstus” (Ap 7, 16).

Auxílium meum a Dómino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
1Levábo óculos meos in montes:*
  unde véniet auxílium mihi?
2Auxílium meum a Dómino,*
  qui fecit cælum et terram.
3Non dabit in commotiónem pedem tuum,*
  neque dormitábit, qui custódit te.
4Ecce non dormitábit neque dórmiet,*
  qui custódit Israel.
5Dóminus custódit te,†
  Dóminus umbráculum tuum,*
  ad manum déxteram tuam.
6Per diem sol non percútiet te,*
  neque luna per noctem.
7Dóminus custódiet te ab omni malo;*
  custódiet ánimam tuam Dóminus.
8Dóminus custódiet intróitum tuum et éxitum tuum*
  ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
  et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
  et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Auxílium meum a Dómino, qui fecit cælum et terram.

Psalm 120 (121)
The guardian of the people

My help shall come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
I shall lift my eyes to the hills:
  where is my help to come from?
My help will come from the Lord,
  who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip:
  he will not doze, your guardian.
Behold, he will not doze or sleep,
  the guardian of Israel.
The Lord is your guardian, the Lord is your shade;
  he is at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you;
  nor the moon by night.
The Lord will guard you from all harm;
  the Lord will guard your life.
The Lord will guard your coming and your going
  both now and for ever.
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.
My help shall come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Lectio brevis1 Cor 2:7-10
Lóquimur Dei sapiéntiam in mystério, quæ abscóndita est, quam prædestinávit Deus ante sǽcula in glóriam nostram, quam nemo príncipum huius sæculi cognóvit; si enim cognovíssent, numquam Dóminum glóriæ crucifixíssent. Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod óculus non vidit, nec auris audívit, nec in cor hóminis ascéndit, quæ præparávit Deus his, qui díligunt illum. Nobis autem revelávit Deus per Spíritum.
Scripture Reading
1 Corinthians 2:7-10 ©
The hidden wisdom of God which we teach in our mysteries is the wisdom that God predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. It is a wisdom that none of the masters of this age have ever known, or they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory; we teach what scripture calls: the things that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him. These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit.

Responsorium breve
℣. Christus mórtuus est pro peccátis nostris,* Ut nos offérret Deo. Christus.
℟. Mortificátus quidem carne, vivificátus autem Spíritu. * Ut nos offérret Deo. Glória Patri. Christus.
Short Responsory
Christ died for our sins, that he might offer us to God.
Christ died for our sins, that he might offer us to God.
In the body he was put to death; in the spirit he was raised to life.
Christ died for our sins, that he might offer us to God.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Christ died for our sins, that he might offer us to God.

Exsultatio animæ in Domino

Recordáre, Dómine, misericórdiæ tuæ, sicut locútus es ad patres nostros.
Magníficat*
  ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus*
  in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ.*
  Ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est,*
  et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies*
  timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,*
  dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede*
  et exaltávit húmiles;
esuriéntes implévit bonis*
  et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Israel púerum suum,*
  recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,*
  Abraham et sémini eius in sǽcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
  et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
  et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Recordáre, Dómine, misericórdiæ tuæ, sicut locútus es ad patres nostros.

My soul rejoices in the Lord

Remember your mercy, O Lord; according to the promise you made to our fathers.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
  and my spirit rejoices in God, my salvation.
For he has shown me such favour –
  me, his lowly handmaiden.
Now all generations will call me blessed,
  because the mighty one has done great things for me.
His name is holy,
  his mercy lasts for generation after generation
  for those who revere him.
He has put forth his strength:
  he has scattered the proud and conceited,
  torn princes from their thrones;
  but lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
  the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel,
  he has remembered his mercy as he promised to our fathers,
  to Abraham and his children for ever.
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.
Remember your mercy, O Lord; according to the promise you made to our fathers.

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.

Deus, cuius ineffábilis sapiéntia in scándalo crucis mirabíliter declarátur, concéde nobis ita passiónis Fílii tui glóriam contuéri, ut in cruce ipsíus numquam cessémus fiduciáliter gloriári.
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Lord God,
  the Cross reveals the mystery of your love:
  a stumbling-block indeed for unbelief,
  but the sign of your power and wisdom to us who believe.
Teach us so to contemplate your Son’s glorious Passion
  that we may always believe and glory in his Cross.
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.
