Exaudi nos, Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, æterne Deus: et mittere digneris sanctum angelum tuum de cœlis, qui custodiat, foveat, protegat, visitet, atque defendat omnes habitantes in hoc habitaculo. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. (Graciously hear us, O Lord, Father almighty, eternal God: and vouchsafe to send Thy holy angel from heaven, who may keep, cherish, protect, visit, and defend all who dwell in this habitation. Through Christ Our Lord.) _R._ Amen. _The Vidi Aquam._ From Easter to Whit‐Sunday, inclusively, instead of the foregoing Antiphon the following is sung, and _Alleluia_ is added to the versicles and responses. Ant. Vidi aquam egredientem de templo, a latere dextro. Alleluia! Et omnes ad quos pervenit aqua ista, salvi facti sunt, et dicent: Alleluia. (_Ant._ I saw water coming forth from the temple, on the right side. Alleluia. And all those to whom this water came were saved, and shall say: Alleluia.) _Ps._ Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus: quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus. (_Ps._ Give praise to the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.) _V._ Gloria Patri, etc. (_V._ Glory be to the Father, etc.) _Ant._ Vidi aquam, etc. (_Ant._ I saw water, etc.) The Holy Mass. The priest, standing at the foot of the altar, bows down, signs himself with the sign of the cross, and says: In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. (In the name of the Father, and of the Son, etc.) Then, joining his hands, he says: _S._ Introibo ad altare Dei. (_P._ I will go in to the altar of God.) _M._ Ad Deum, qui lætificat juventutem meam. (_R._ To God, Who giveth joy to my youth.) In Masses for the dead and from Passion Sunday to Holy Saturday the following Psalm is omitted. Psalm XLII. _S._ Judica me, Deus, et discerne causam meam de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me. (_P._ Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: from the unjust and deceitful man deliver me.) _M._ Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea, quare me repulisti? et quare tristis incedo dum affligit me inimicus? (_R._ Since Thou, O God, art my strength, why hast Thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful while the enemy afflicteth me?) _S._ Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua. (_P._ Send forth Thy light and Thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me to Thy holy mount, and into Thy tabernacles.) _M._ Et introibo ad altare Dei: ad Deum, qui lætificat juventutem meam. (_R._ And I will go in to the altar of God: to God, Who giveth joy to my youth.) _S._ Confitebor tibi in cithara, Deus, Deus meus: quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? (_P._ I will praise Thee on the harp, O God, my God: why art thou sad, my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?) _M._ Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi: salutare vultus mei, et Deus meus.
