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

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

  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.

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

  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.
