Little Office of the Holy Name of God

2–3 min
Hora

Our Father.

Pater noster.

Lord, Thou wilt open my lips.

Domine, labia mea aperies.

And my mouth shall extol Thy Name.

Et os meum exaltabit Nomen tuum.

Blessed is the man whose trust is in the Name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.

My enemies have surrounded me and compassed me about: and in the Name of the Lord, I have been revenged on them.

They surrounded me like bees, and they burnt like fire among thorns: and in the Name of the Lord I was revenged on them.

I will give glory to Thy Name, O Lord: for Thou hast been a helper and protector to me.

And Thou hast delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of Thy Name from the hands of those who sought after my life.

Let those who know Thy Name trust in Thee: for Thou hast not forsaken those who seek Thee, O Lord.

Therefore, O Lord, I will confess Thee among the nations; and I will sing a psalm to the glory of Thy Name.

Glory to the Father.

Beatus vir cujus est Nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates et insania falsas.

Circumdantes circumdederunt me; et in Nomine Domini quia ultus sum in eos.

Circumdederunt me sicut apes, et exarserunt sicut ignis in spinis; et in Nomine Domini, quia ultus sum in eos.

Confitebor Nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam adjutor et protector factus es mihi.

Et liberasti me, secundum multitudinem misericordiae Nominis tui, de manibus quaerentium animam meam.

Sperent in te qui noverunt Nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te, Domine.

Propterea confitebor tibi in nationibus, Domine, et Nomini tuo psalmum dicam.

Gloria Patri.

Antiphon

In Thy Name we will despise those who rise up against us.

In Nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis.

Chapter

Let him who hath walked in darkness and who hath no light, hope in the Name of the Lord, and lean upon his God.

Qui ambulaverit in tenebris et non est lumen ei, speret in Nomine Domini, et innitetur super Deum suum.

Thanks be to God.

Deo gratias.

In Thee, O Lord, we shall have strength to fight against our enemies.

In te, Domine, inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu.

And in Thy Name we will despise those who rise up against us.

Et in Nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis.

Let us pray.

O God, who never forsakest those who hope in Thy Name, grant us Thy help in our weakness, so that under the protection of Thy holy Name we may triumph over all the obstacles which we may encounter in the way of salvation. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Deus, qui in Nomine tuo sperantes nunquam deseris, concede fragilitati nostrae praesidium; ut sancti Nominis tui protectione muniti, omnia salutis nostrae adversantia superare valeamus. Per Dominum.

May the Name of the Lord be blessed.

Sit Nomen Domini benedictum.

Now and for evermore.

Ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.

Amen.

Amen.

Sobre esta oração

A traditional little office in honour of Holy Name of God, arranged in the canonical hours.

História

From The Manual of the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face (1887).

The Little Office of the Most Holy Name of God is largely attributed to the pen of Mr Dupont. It was originally discovered in a pamphlet entitled Association of Prayers Against Blasphemy, which went through several editions, the last known being published in 1867. Since then, it appears not to have been reissued. Given its devotional and historical significance, it seems fitting to preserve this portion. We therefore present it here as a supplement to our manual of the archconfraternity, from which it may easily be detached and issued as a separate tract. This Office serves as an act of reparation and homage to the Most Holy and Adorable Name of God—a Name so often misunderstood and profaned in our times. It is known that many devout souls in the world have already adopted the practice of reciting this Little Office daily. Such a praiseworthy example deserves the highest commendation, and it is our earnest hope that many others will follow, so that a sacred chorus of praise may rise to counter the dreadful clamour which, in our day, is so grievously directed against God and His most awe-inspiring Name.
