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.

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

Alleluia.

43:2 We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,

43:2 The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.

43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

43:4 But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.

43:5 Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.

43:6 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

43:7 For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.

43:8 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: * and hast put them to shame that hate us.

43:9 In God shall we glory all the day long: * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

43:10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

43:11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

43:12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.

43:13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

43:14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

43:15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.

43:16 All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.

43:17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

43:18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

43:19 And our heart hath not turned back: * neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

43:20 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: * and the shadow of death hath covered us.

Let us pray.

Grant, we beseech thee, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Gregory thy blessed Confessor and Bishop may increase our devotion and promote our salvation.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the 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.
