Roman Breviary

Brothers: Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist ye, strong in faith.

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: strikes his breast 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, and all the Saints, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

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.

6:2 Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, * nor chastise me in thy wrath.

6:3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: * heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

6:4 And my soul is troubled exceedingly: * but thou, O Lord, how long?

6:5 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: * O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

6:6 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: * and who shall confess to thee in hell?

6:7 I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: * I will water my couch with my tears.

6:8 My eye is troubled through indignation: * I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

6:9 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: * for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

6:10 The Lord hath heard my supplication: * the Lord hath received my prayer.

6:11 Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: * let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.

7:2 O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: * save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

7:3 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

7:4 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, * if there be iniquity in my hands:

7:5 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, * let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

7:6 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.

7:7 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: * and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.

7:7 And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: * and a congregation of people shall surround thee.

7:8 And for their sakes return thou on high. * The Lord judgeth the people.

7:9 Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence in me.

7:10 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: * the searcher of hearts and reins is God.

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

Let us pray.

Visit, we beseech thee, O Lord, this dwelling, and drive far from it the snares of the enemy; let thy holy angels dwell herein to preserve us in peace, and let thy blessing be always upon us.

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

Let us pray.

O almighty, everlasting God, who by the cooperation of the Holy Spirit, didst prepare the body and soul of Mary, glorious Virgin and Mother, to become a worthy dwelling for Thy Son; grant that we who rejoice in her commemoration may, by her gracious intercession, be delivered from present evils and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

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.

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, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
