Roman Breviary

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. 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.

108:2 God, be not thou silent in my praise: * for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.

108:3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; * and have fought against me without cause.

108:4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer.

108:5 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love.

108:6 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand.

108:7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin.

108:8 May his days be few: * and his bishopric let another take.

108:9 May his children be fatherless, * and his wife a widow.

108:10 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; * and let them be cast out of their dwellings.

108:11 May the usurer search all his substance: * and let strangers plunder his labours.

108:12 May there be none to help him: * nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.

108:13 May his posterity be cut off; * in one generation may his name be blotted out.

108:14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: * and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

108:15 May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: * because he remembered not to shew mercy,

108:17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; * and the broken in heart, to put him to death.

108:18 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: * and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him.

108:18 And he put on cursing, like a garment: * and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.

108:19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; * and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.

108:20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; * and who speak evils against my soul.

108:21 But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: * because thy mercy is sweet.

He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and he will pray in the sight of the most High.

Let us pray.

Stir up in thy Church, we beseech thee, O Lord, that Spirit which so filled blessed Josaphat, thy Martyr and Bishop, that he laid down his life for his flock; that by his intercession we, being likewise animated and strengthened by that same Spirit, may not fear to lay down our lives for our brethren.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

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.
