Prex poenitentialis


Examen conscientiæ vel Pater Noster totum secreto.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.

Confíteor Deo omnipoténti, beátæ Maríæ semper Vírgini, beáto Michaéli Archángelo, beáto Ioánni Baptístæ, sanctis Apóstolis Petro et Paulo, et ómnibus Sanctis, quia peccávi nimis, cogitatióne, verbo et ópere: percutit sibi pectus mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. Ídeo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, beátum Michaélem Archángelum, beátum Ioánnem Baptístam, sanctos Apóstolos Petrum et Paulum, et omnes Sanctos, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.

Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deus, et dimíssis peccátis nostris, perdúcat nos ad vitam ætérnam.
℟. Amen.

Indulgéntiam, ✠ absolutiónem et remissiónem peccatórum nostrórum tríbuat nobis omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus.
℟. Amen.

Incipit

Psalmus 11

Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us for ever.

Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: * truths are decayed from among the children of men.

  1. Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum: * lábia dolósa, in corde et corde locúti sunt.

    2. They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: * with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

  2. Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa, * et linguam magníloquam.

    3. May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, * and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

  3. Qui dixérunt: Linguam nostram magnificábimus, † lábia nostra a nobis sunt, * quis noster Dóminus est?

    4. Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; * who is Lord over us?

  4. Propter misériam ínopum, et gémitum páuperum, * nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus.

    5. By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, * now will I arise, saith the Lord.

  5. Ponam in salutári: * fiduciáliter agam in eo.

    6. I will set him in safety; * I will deal confidently in his regard.

  6. Elóquia Dómini, elóquia casta: * argéntum igne examinátum, probátum terræ purgátum séptuplum.

    7. The words of the Lord are pure words: * as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.

  7. Tu, Dómine, servábis nos: et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.

    8. Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us * from this generation for ever.

  8. In circúitu ímpii ámbulant: * secúndum altitúdinem tuam multiplicásti fílios hóminum.

    9. The wicked walk round about: * according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

Psalmus 12

How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? * how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

  1. Quámdiu ponam consília in ánima mea, * dolórem in corde meo per diem?

    2. How long shall I take counsels in my soul, * sorrow in my heart all the day?

  2. Usquequo exaltábitur inimícus meus super me? * réspice, et exáudi me, Dómine, Deus meus.

    3. How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? * Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God.

  3. Illúmina óculos meos ne umquam obdórmiam in morte: * nequándo dicat inimícus meus: præválui advérsus eum.

    4. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death: * lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him.

  4. Qui tríbulant me, exsultábunt si motus fúero: * ego autem in misericórdia tua sperávi.

    5. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved: * but I have trusted in thy mercy.

  5. Exsultábit cor meum in salutári tuo: † cantábo Dómino qui bona tríbuit mihi: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.

    6. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: * yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord the most High.

  6. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalmus 15

Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

  1. Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.

    2. To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
