Conscientia discussio, quam sequi potest actus pœnitentialis ut in Missa.
Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis, fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne:
et, percutientes sibi pectus, dicunt:
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.
Deinde prosequuntur:
Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, omnes Angelos et Sanctos, et vos, fratres, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.
v. Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deus et, dimissís peccátis nostris, perdúcat nos ad vitam ætérnam. r. Amen.

Psalmus 142 (143)
Psalm 142 (143)
In angustiis oratio
Prayer in anguish
Non iustificatur homo ex operibus legis nisi per fidem Iesu Christi (Gal 2, 16).
Man is not purified by keeping the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal 2:16).
Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam, † áuribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam in veritáte tua; * exáudi me in tua iustítia.
Et non intres in iudícium cum servo tuo, * quia non iustificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam, † contrívit in terra vitam meam, * collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos a sǽculo.
Et anxiátus est in me spíritus meus, * in médio mei obríguit cor meum.
Memor fui diérum antiquórum, † meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis, * in factis mánuum tuárum recogitábam.
Expándi manus meas ad te, * ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine; * defécit spíritus meus.
Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me, * ne símilis fiam descendéntibus in lacum.
Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam, * quia in te sperávi.
Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem, * quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
Eripe me de inimícis meis, * Dómine, ad te confúgi.
Doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, * quia Deus meus es tu.
Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me in terram rectam; * propter nomen tuum, Dómine, vivificábis me.
In iustítia tua * edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam.
[et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos; † et perdes omnes, qui tríbulant ánimam meam, * quóniam ego servus tuus sum.]
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.
Ant. Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me, quia in te sperávi.

Lectio brevis (1 Petr 5, 8-9 a)
Sóbrii estóte, vigiláte. Adversárius vester Diábolus tamquam leo rúgiens círcuit quærens quem dévoret. Cui resístite fortes fide.
Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist ye, strong in faith.
r. In manus tuas, Dómine, * Comméndo spíritum meum. In manus. v. Redemísti nos, Dómine Deus veritátis. * Comméndo spíritum meum. Glória Patri. In manus.
r. Into Your hands, Lord, * I commend my spirit. Into Thy hands. v. You have redeemed us, Lord God of truth * I commit my spirit. Glory to the Father. Into Thy hands.
Ant. Salva nos, Dómine, vigilántes, custódi nos dormiéntes, ut vigilémus cum Christo et requiescámus in pace. (T. P. Allelúia.)
