Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor; conturbátus est in mæróre óculus meus, * ánima mea et venter meus.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am very afflicted; my eye, my soul, and my bowels are troubled with anger.

De Actibus Apostolórum
In diébus illis: Audiérunt apóstoli et fratres qui erant in Iudæa quóniam et gentes recepérunt verbum Dei. Cum ascendísset autem Petrus in Ierúsalem, disceptábant advérsus illum qui erant ex circumcisióne, dicéntes: " Introísti ad viros præpútium habéntes et manducásti cum illis! " Incípiens autem Petrus exponébat illis ex órdine dicens: " Ego eram in civitáte Ioppe orans et vidi in excéssu mentis visiónem, descéndens vas quoddam velut línteum magnum quáttuor inítiis submítti de cælo et venit usque ad me; in quod íntuens considerábam et vidi quadrupédia terræ et béstias et reptília et volatília cæli. "
"Audívi autem et vocem dicéntem mihi: "Surgens, Petre, occíde et mandúca!" Dixi autem: "Nequáquam, Dómine, quia commúne aut immúndum numquam introívit in os meum". Respóndit autem vox secúndo de cælo: "Quæ Deus mundávit, tu ne commúne díxeris". Hoc autem factum est per ter, et retrácta sunt rursum ómnia in cælum. "
"Et ecce conféstim tres viri astitérunt in domo in qua erámus, missi a Cæsárea ad me. Dixit autem Spíritus mihi ut irem cum illis nihil hsitans. Venérunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti, et ingréssi sumus in domum viri. Narrávit autem nobis quómodo vidísset ángelum ad domum suam stantem et dicéntem: "Mitte in Ioppen et accérsi Simónem, qui cognominátur Petrus, qui loquétur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tu et univérsa domus tua". "
"Cum autem cœpíssem loqui, décidit Spíritus Sanctus super eos sicut et super nos in inítio. Recordátus sum autem verbi Dómini sicut dicébat: Ioánnes quidem baptizávit aqua, vos autem baptizabímini in Spíritu Sancto. Si ergo æquále donum dedit illis Deus sicut et nobis, qui credídimus in Dóminum Iesum Christum, ego quis eram qui possem prohibére Deum? " His autem audítis, acquievérunt et glorificavérunt Deum dicéntes: " Ergo et géntibus Deus pæniténtiam ad vitam dedit. "
r. Dómine, si tu es, iube me veníre ad te super aquas. * Et exténdens manum apprehéndit eum, et dixit Iesus: Módicæ fídei, quare dubitásti? v. Cumque vidísset ventum válidum veniéntem tímuit, et cum cœpísset mergi clamávit dicens: Dómine, salvum me fac. * Et exténdens. v. Glória Patri. * Et exténdens.
In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex Sermónibus sancti Leónis Magni papæ (Sermo 69, 3-5: SC 200, 50-54)
Cum duódecim apóstoli, accépta per Spíritum Sanctum ómnium locutióne linguárum, imbuéndum Evangélio mundum, distribútis sibi terrárum pártibus, suscepíssent, beatíssimus Petrus, princeps apostólici órdinis, ad arcem Románi destinátur impérii, ut lux veritátis, quæ in ómnium géntium revelabátur salútem, efficácius se ab ipso cápite per totum mundi corpus effúnderet.
Cuius autem natiónis hómines in hac tunc urbe non essent? Aut quæ usquam gentes ignorárent quod Roma didicísset? Hic conculcándæ philosophíæ opiniónes, hic dissolvéndæ erant terrénæ sapiéntiæ vanitátes, hic confutándus dæmonum cultus, hic ómnium sacrilegiórum impíetas destruénda, ubi diligentíssima superstitióne habebátur colléctum, quidquid usquam fúerat vanis erróribus institútum.
Ad hanc ergo urbem tu, beatíssime Petre apóstole, veníre non métuis, et consórte glóriæ tuæ Paulo apóstolo, aliárum adhuc Ecclesiárum ordinatiónibus occupáto, silvam istam freméntium bestiárum et turbulentíssimæ profunditátis océanum, constántior quam cum supra mare graderéris, ingréderis.
Iam pópulos, qui ex circumcisióne credíderant, erudíeras; iam Antiochénam Ecclésiam, ubi primum christiáni nóminis dígnitas est orta, fundáveras; iam Pontum, Galátiam, Cappadóciam, Asiam atque Bithýniam légibus evangélicæ prædicatiónis imbúeras; nec aut dúbius de provéntu óperis, aut de spátio tuæ ignárus ætátis, tropum crucis Christi Románis árcibus inferébas, quo te divínis præordinatiónibus anteíbant et honor potestátis et glória passiónis.
r. Solve, iubénte Deo, terrárum, Petre, caténas, * Qui facis ut páteant cæléstia regna beátis. v. Quodcúmque ligáveris super terram erit ligátum et in cælis, et quodcúmque sólveris super terram erit solútum et in cælis. * Qui facis. v. Glória Patri. * Qui facis.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Deus, qui ob animárum medélam castigáre córpora præcepísti, † concéde, ut ab ómnibus possímus abstinére peccátis, * et corda nostra pietátis tuæ váleant exercére mandáta. Per Dóminum.
God, who teaches us the severe correction of our bodies for the healing of our souls, grant that we may abstain from sin and that our hearts may obtain the strength to exercise the commandments of Thy goodness.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
