Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and that we should not dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together, to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me:
Almighty and most merciful Father, We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep: We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts: We have offended against thy holy laws: We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders: Spare thou themthose, O God, whichwho confess their faults: Restore thou them thatthose who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live; and hath given power and commandment to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins: He pardoneth and absolveth all them thatthose who truly repent, and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true repentance, and his Holy Spirit; that those things may please him which we do at this present, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy; so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, whichwho art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done inon earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them thatthose who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
1 | O come, let us sing unto the Lord; * let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. |
2 | Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, * and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms. |
3 | For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods. |
4 | In his hand are all the corners of the earth, * and the strength of the hills is his also. |
5 | The sea is his, and he made it; * and his hands prepared the dry land. |
6 | O come, let us worship and fall down, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker. |
7 | For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. |
8 | Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: * as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; |
9 | When your fathers tempted me, * proved me, and saw my works. |
10 | Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, * It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways; |
11 | Unto whom I sware in my wrath, * that they should not enter into my rest. |
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. |
1 | The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. |
2 | One day telleth another, * and one night certifieth another. |
3 | There is neither speech nor language, * but their voices are heard among them. |
4 | Their sound is gone out into all lands, * and their words into the ends of the world. |
5 | In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun; * which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course. |
6 | It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; * and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. |
7 | The law of the Lord is an undefiled law, converting the soul; * the testimony of the Lord is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple. |
8 | The statutes of the Lord are right, and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the Lord is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes. |
9 | The fear of the Lord is clean, and endureth for ever; * the judgements of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. |
10 | More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; * sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb. |
11 | Moreover, by them is thy servant taught, * and in keeping of them there is great reward. |
12 | Who can tell how oft he offendeth? * O cleanse thou me from my secret faults. |
13 | Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me; * so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence. |
14 | Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, * be alway acceptable in thy sight, |
15 | O Lord, * my strength, and my redeemer. |
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. |
1 | The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; * the Name of the God of Jacob defend thee; |
2 | Send thee help from the sanctuary, * and strengthen thee out of Sion; |
3 | Remember all thy offerings, * and accept thy burnt sacrifice; |
4 | Grant thee thy heart's desire, * and fulfil all thy mind. |
5 | We will rejoice in thy salvation, and triumph in the Name of the Lord our God: * the Lord perform all thy petitions. |
6 | Now know I that the Lord helpeth his Anointed, and will hear him from his holy heaven, * even with the wholesome strength of his right hand. |
7 | Some put their trust in chariots, and some in horses; * but we will remember the Name of the Lord our God. |
8 | They are brought down, and fallen; * but we are risen, and stand upright. |
9 | Save, Lord, and hear us, O King of heaven, * when we call upon thee. |
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. |
1 | The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord; * exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation. |
2 | Thou hast given him his heart's desire, * and hast not denied him the request of his lips. |
3 | For thou shalt prevent him with the blessings of goodness, * and shalt set a crown of pure gold upon his head. |
4 | He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him a long life, * even for ever and ever. |
5 | His honour is great in thy salvation; * glory and great worship shalt thou lay upon him. |
6 | For thou shalt give him everlasting felicity, * and make him glad with the joy of thy countenance. |
7 | And why? because the King putteth his trust in the Lord; * and in the mercy of the most Highest he shall not miscarry. |
8 | All thine enemies shall feel thine hand; * thy right hand shall find out them that hate thee. |
9 | Thou shalt make them like a fiery oven in time of thy wrath: * the Lord shall destroy them in his displeasure, and the fire shall consume them. |
10 | Their fruit shalt thou root out of the earth, * and their seed from among the children of men. |
11 | For they intended mischief against thee, * and imagined such a device as they are not able to perform. |
12 | Therefore shalt thou put them to flight, * and the strings of thy bow shalt thou make ready against the face of them. |
13 | Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength; * so will we sing, and praise thy power. |
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. |
1 | In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. |
2 | And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. |
3 | And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. |
4 | And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. |
5 | And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. |
6 | And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. |
7 | And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. |
8 | And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. |
9 | And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. |
10 | And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. |
11 | And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. |
12 | And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. |
13 | And the evening and the morning were the third day. |
14 | And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: |
15 | And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. |
16 | And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. |
17 | And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, |
18 | And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. |
19 | And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. |
20 | And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. |
21 | And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. |
22 | And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. |
23 | And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. |
24 | And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. |
25 | And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. |
26 | And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. |
27 | So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. |
28 | And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. |
29 | And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. |
30 | And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. |
31 | And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. |
We praise thee, O God; * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. | |
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting. | |
To thee all Angels cry aloud; * the Heavens, and all the powers therein. | |
To thee Cherubin and Seraphin * continually do cry, | |
Holy, Holy, Holy, * Lord God of Sabaoth; | |
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty * of thy glory. | |
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee. | |
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee. | |
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee. | |
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee; | |
The Father * of an infinite Majesty; | |
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son; | |
Also the Holy Ghost * the Comforter, | |
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ; | |
Thou art the everlasting Son * of the Father. | |
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. | |
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. | |
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father. | |
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge. | |
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood. | |
Make them to be numbered with thy saints, * in glory everlasting. | |
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage. | |
Govern them * and lift them up for ever. | |
Day by day * we magnify thee; | |
And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end. | |
Vouchsafe, O Lord, * to keep us this day without sin. | |
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us. | |
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee. | |
O Lord, in thee have I trusted; * let me never be confounded. |
1 | In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa, |
2 | And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. |
3 | For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. |
4 | And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. |
5 | Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about Jordan, |
6 | And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. |
7 | But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? |
8 | Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: |
9 | And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. |
10 | And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. |
11 | I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: |
12 | Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. |
13 | Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. |
14 | But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? |
15 | And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. |
16 | And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: |
17 | And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. |
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; * for he hath visited and redeemed his people; | |
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us, * in the house of his servant David; | |
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began; | |
That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us: | |
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, * and to remember his holy covenant; | |
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, * that he would give us; | |
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies * might serve him without fear; | |
In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life. | |
And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; | |
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the remission of their sins, | |
Through the tender mercy of our God; * whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us; | |
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace. | |
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. |
Whosoever will be saved, * before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. | |
Which Faith, except every one do keep whole and undefiled, * without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. | |
And the Catholic Faith is this: * That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; | |
Neither confounding the Persons, * nor dividing the Substance. | |
For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, * and another of the Holy Ghost. | |
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: * the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal. | |
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, * and such is the Holy Ghost. | |
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate, * and the Holy Ghost uncreate. | |
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, * and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible. | |
The Father eternal, the Son eternal, * and the Holy Ghost eternal; | |
And yet they are not three eternals, * but one eternal. | |
As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, * but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible. | |
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, * and the Holy Ghost Almighty; | |
And yet they are not three Almighties, * but one Almighty. | |
So the Father is God, the Son is God, * and the Holy Ghost is God; | |
And yet they are not three Gods, * but one God. | |
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, * and the Holy Ghost Lord; | |
And yet not three Lords, * but one Lord. | |
For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity * to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; | |
So are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion * to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords. | |
The Father is made of none: * neither created, nor begotten. | |
The Son is of the Father alone: * not made, nor created, but begotten. | |
The Holy Ghost is of the Father, and of the Son: * neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding. | |
So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; * one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. | |
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other; * none is greater, or less than another; | |
But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together, * and co-equal. | |
So that in all things, as is aforesaid, * the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped. | |
He therefore that will be saved * must thus think of the Trinity. | |
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation * that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. | |
For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess * that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; | |
God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; * and Man, of the substance of his mother, born in the world; | |
Perfect God, and perfect Man, * of a reasonable soul, and human flesh subsisting; | |
Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead, * and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood. | |
Who although he be God and Man, * yet he is not two, but one Christ; | |
One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, * but by taking of the Manhood into God; | |
One altogether; not by confusion of Substance, * but by unity of Person. | |
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man, * so God and Man is one Christ; | |
Who suffered for our salvation, * descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead; | |
He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty, * from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. | |
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies, * and shall give account for their own works. | |
And they that have done good, shall go into life everlasting; * and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire. | |
This is the Catholic Faith: * which except a man believe faithfully, 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. |
The Lord be with you:
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Our Father, whichwho art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done inon earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them thatthose who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.

And grant us thy salvation.

And mercifully hear us, when we call upon thee.

And bless thine inheritance.
Give peace in our time, O Lord;
Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God.
O God, make clean our hearts within us;
And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast given unto us thy servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity; We beseech thee, that thou wouldest keep us stedfast in this faith, and evermore defend us from all adversities; who livest and reignest, one God, world without end. Amen.
O God, who art the author of peace, and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God the Father of heaven: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O God the Father of heaven: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O God the Son, Redeemer of the world: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O God the Son, Redeemer of the world: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons, and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons, and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers; neither take thou vengeance of our sins: spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever.
Spare us, good Lord.

Good Lord, deliver us.

Good Lord, deliver us.

O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thy Name's sake.
O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the noble works that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them.
O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thine Honour.
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.
From our enemies defend us, O Christ.

Pitifully behold the sorrows of our hearts.

Favourably with mercy hear our prayers.
O Son of David, have mercy upon us.
Both now and ever vouchsafe to hear us, O Christ.
Graciously hear us, O Christ; graciously hear us, O Lord Christ.

As we do put our trust in thee.
Let us pray.
We humbly beseech thee, O Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities; and for the glory of thy Name, turn from us all those evils that we most righteously have deserved; and grant, that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence in thy mercy, and evermore serve thee in holiness and pureness of living, to thy honour and glory, through our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Most gracious God, we humbly beseech thee, as for this nation in general, so especially for the Legislature at this time assembled: That thou wouldest be pleased to direct and prosper all their consultations to the advancement of thy glory, the good of thy Church, the safety, honour, and welfare of thy people; that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavours, upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety may be established among us for all generations. These and all other necessaries, for them, for us, and thy whole Church, we humbly beg in the Name and Mediation of Jesus Christ our most blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us, and to all men: We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we may show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy Name, thou wilt grant their requests; Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.
