Our Father (_secretly_).
_V._ And lead us not into temptation,
_R._ But deliver us from evil.
Psalm LXIX.
_Deus in Adjutorium._
O God, come to my assistance: O Lord, make haste to help me.
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul.
Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils unto
me.
Let them be straightway turned backward, blushing for shame, that say to
me: ’Tis well, ’tis well.
Let all that seek Thee be joyful and glad in Thee: and let such as love
Thy salvation say always, The Lord be magnified.
But I am needy and poor: O God, help me.
Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no long delay.
Glory be, etc.
_V._ Save Thy servants,
_R._ Who hope in Thee, O my God.
_V._ Be unto us, O Lord, a tower of strength.
_R._ From the face of the enemy.
_V._ Let not the enemy prevail against us.
_R._ Nor the son of iniquity approach to hurt us.
_V._ O Lord, deal not with us according to our sins.
_R._ Neither requite us according to our iniquities.
_V._ Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff [N.].
_R._ The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon
the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
_V._ Let us pray for our benefactors.
_R._ Vouchsafe, O Lord, for Thy name’s sake, to reward with eternal life
all them that do us good. Amen.
_V._ Let us pray for the faithful departed.
_R._ Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine
upon them.
_V._ Let them rest in peace.
_R._ Amen.
_V._ For our absent brethren.
_R._ Save Thy servants, who hope in Thee, O my God.
_V._ Send them help, O Lord, from the sanctuary.
_R._ And defend them out of Sion.
_V._ O Lord, hear my prayer.
_R._ And let my cry come unto Thee.
_Let Us Pray._
O God, Whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, receive our
humble petition, that we, and all Thy servants who are bound by the chain
of sin, may, by the compassion of Thy goodness, mercifully be absolved.
Graciously hear, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the prayers of Thy suppliants,
and forgive the sins of them that confess to Thee; that, in Thy bounty,
Thou mayest grant us both pardon and peace.
Show forth upon us, O Lord, in Thy mercy, Thy unspeakable loving kindness;
that Thou mayest both loose us from all our sins and deliver us from the
punishments which we deserve for them.
O God, Who by sin art offended, and by penance pacified, mercifully regard
the prayers of Thy people making supplication to Thee, and turn away the
scourges of Thine anger, which we deserve for our sins.
Almighty, everlasting God, have mercy upon Thy servant [N.], our Sovereign
Pontiff, and direct him, according to Thy clemency, into the way of
everlasting salvation; that by Thy grace he may both desire those things
that are pleasing to Thee and perform them with all his strength.
