← Prayer Book
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.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.

Examination of Conscience
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Psalmody
Psalm 91It Is Good to Give Thanks
Ant. This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. Alleluia.
It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High.
To announce your mercy in the morning and your truth throughout the night,
upon a ten-stringed instrument, upon a psaltery, with a canticle on the harp.
For you have delighted me, O Lord, in your works, and in the works of your hands I will rejoice.
How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are exceedingly deep.
The foolish man will not understand this, and the foolish one will not understand these things.
When the sinners spring up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity appear,
it is so that they may fall in eternity and eternity.
But you, O Lord, are Most High forever.
For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish; and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
And my horn will be exalted like that of the rhinoceros, and my old age in plentiful mercy.
And my eye has looked down upon my enemies; and my ear will hear of the downfall of the malicious who rise up against me.
The just will flourish like a palm tree; he will be multiplied like a cedar of Lebanon.
Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will be patient so that they may announce
that the Lord our God is just and there is no iniquity in him.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. Alleluia.
