O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
Praise ye the Lord;
The Lord’s name be praised.

Hymn. Iam Lucis Orto Sidere.

  1. Now that the daylight fills the sky,
    We lift our hearts to God on high,
    That he, in all we do or say,
    Would keep us free from harm to-day:

  2. Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife;
    From anger’s din would hide our life;
    From all ill sights would turn our eyes,
    Would close our ears from vanities:

  3. Would keep our inmost conscience pure;
    Our souls from folly would secure;
    Would bid us check the pride of sense
    With due and holy abstinence.

  4. So we, when this new day is gone,
    And night in turn is drawing on,
    With conscience by the world unstained
    Shall praise his name for victory gained.

  5. All laud to God the Father be;
    All praise, eternal Son, to thee;
    All glory, as is ever meet,
    To God the holy Paraclete.

Psalm 119: 1-32 Beati Immaculati

  1. Blessed are those that are undefiled in the way : and walk in the law of the Lord.
  2. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies : and seek him with their whole heart.
  3. For they who do no wickedness : walk in his ways.
  4. Thou hast charged : that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.
  5. O that my ways were made so direct : that I might keep thy statutes!
  6. So shall I not be confounded : while I have respect unto all thy commandments.
  7. I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart : when I shall have learned the judgements of thy righteousness.
  8. I will keep thy ceremonies : O forsake me not utterly.
  9. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way : even by ruling himself after thy word.
  10. With my whole heart have I sought thee : O let me not go wrong out of thy commandments.
  11. Thy words have I hid within my heart : that I should not sin against thee.
  12. Blessed art thou, O Lord : O teach me thy statutes.
  13. With my lips have I been telling : of all the judgements of thy mouth.
  14. I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies : as in all manner of riches.
  15. I will talk of thy commandments : and have respect unto thy ways.
  16. My delight shall be in thy statutes : and I will not forget thy word.
  17. O do well unto thy servant : that I may live, and keep thy word.
  18. Open thou mine eyes : that I may see the wondrous things of thy law.
  19. I am a stranger upon earth : O hide not thy commandments from me.
  20. My soul breaketh out for the very fervent desire : that it hath alway unto thy judgements.
  21. Thou hast rebuked the proud : and cursed are they that do err from thy commandments.
  22. O turn from me shame and rebuke : for I have kept thy testimonies.
  23. Princes also did sit and speak against me : but thy servant is occupied in thy statutes.
  24. For thy testimonies are my delight : and my counsellors.
  25. My soul cleaveth to the dust : O quicken thou me, according to thy word.
  26. I have acknowledged my ways, and thou heardest me : O teach me thy statutes.
  27. Make me to understand the way of thy commandments : and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
  28. My soul melteth away for very heaviness : comfort thou me according unto thy word.
  29. Take from me the way of lying : and cause thou me to make much of thy law.
  30. I have chosen the way of truth : and thy judgements have I laid before me.
  31. I have stuck unto thy testimonies : O Lord, confound me not.
  32. I will run the way of thy commandments : when thou hast set my heart at liberty.

The Creed of Saint Athanasius. Quicunque Vult

  1. Whosoever would be saved : needeth before all things to hold fast the Catholick Faith.
  2. Which Faith except a man keep whole and undefiled : without doubt he will perish eternally.
  3. Now the Catholick Faith is this : that we worship one God in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity;
  4. Neither confusing the Persons : nor dividing the substance.
  5. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son : another of the Holy Ghost;
  6. But the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is all one : the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal.
  7. Such as the Father is, such is the Son : and such is the Holy Ghost.
  8. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated : the Holy Ghost uncreated;
  9. The Father infinite, the Son infinite : the Holy Ghost infinite;
  10. The Father eternal, the Son eternal : the Holy Ghost eternal.
  11. And yet there are not three eternals : but one eternal
  12. As also there are not three uncreated, nor three infinites : but one infinite, and one uncreated.
  13. So likewise the Father is almighty, the Son almighty : the Holy Ghost almighty;
  14. And yet there are not three almighties : but one almighty.
  15. So the Father is God, the Son God : the Holy Ghost God;
  16. And yet there are not three Gods : but one God.
  17. So the Father is Lord, the Son Lord : the Holy Ghost Lord;
  18. And yet there are not three Lords : but one Lord.
  19. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity : to confess each Person by himself to be both God and Lord;
  20. So are we forbidden by the Catholick religion : to speak of three Gods or three Lords.
  21. The Father is made of none : nor created, nor begotten.
  22. The Son is of the Father alone : not made, nor created, but begotten.
  23. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and the Son : not made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
  24. There is therefore one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons : one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
  25. And in this Trinity there is no before or after : no greater or less;
  26. But all three Persons are co-eternal together : and co-equal.
  27. So that in all ways, as is aforesaid : both the Trinity is to be worshipped in Unity, and the Unity in Trinity.
  28. He therefore that would be saved let him thus think of the Trinity.
  29. Furthermore it is necessary to eternal salvation : that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  30. Now the right faith is that we believe and confess : that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is both God and man.
  31. He is God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds : and he is man, of the substance of his Mother, born in the world;
  32. Perfect God : perfect man, of reasoning soul and human flesh subsisting;
  33. Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead : less than the Father as touching his manhood.
  34. Who although he be God and man : yet he is not two, but is one Christ ;
  35. One however, not by conversion of Godhead into flesh : but by taking manhood into God;
  36. One altogether : not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person.
  37. For as reasoning soul and flesh is one man : so God and man is one Christ;
  38. Who suffered for our salvation : descended into hell, rose again from the dead;
  39. Ascended into heaven, sat down at the right hand of the Father : from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
  40. At whose coming all men must rise again with their bodies : and shall give account for their own deeds.
  41. And they that have done good will go into life eternal : they that have done evil into eternal fire.
  42. This is the Catholick Faith : which except a man do faithfully and steadfastly believe, he cannot be saved. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
