Per ipsum (Christum) offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo (Hebr 13, 15).

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.
Lord, hearken my prayer; give ear to my supplications; hearken unto me in Thy truth and in Thy righteousness.
Et non intres in iudícium cum servo tuo, * quia non iustificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
Do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, for no living man is righteous before Thou.
Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam, † contrívit in terra vitam meam, * collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos a sǽculo.

Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine; * defécit spíritus meus.

De Christo, servo Dei
Christ, servant of God
Christus Iesus, cum in forma Dei esset, * non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo,
Christ Jesus, although He was in the condition of God, did not retain of Himself His equality with God,
sed semetípsum exinanívit formam servi accípiens,† in similitúdinem hóminum factus; * et hábitu invéntus ut homo,
but He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, making Himself like men; recognized as a man by all that has appeared of Him,
humiliávit semetípsum † factus obœdiens usque ad mortem, * mortem autem crucis.

et omnis língua confiteátur: * «Dóminus Iesus Christus!», in glóriam Dei Patris.

Lectio brevis (1 Petr 1, 18-21)
Scitóte quod non corruptibílibus argénto vel auro redémpti estis de vana vestra conversatióne a pátribus trádita, sed pretióso sánguine quasi Agni incontamináti et immaculáti Christi, præcógniti quidem ante constitutiónem mundi, manifestáti autem novíssimis tempóribus propter vos, qui per ipsum fidéles estis in Deum, qui suscitávit eum a mórtuis et dedit ei glóriam, ut fides vestra et spes esset in Deum.
Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers: But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled, Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you, Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.
