STIR up our hearts, O Lord, to prepare the ways of thine Only Begotten Son: that through his advent we may be worthy to serve thee with purified minds; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Or:
BLESSED Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
O GOD, who hast willed that under the special patronage of the most Blessed Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, we should receive an abundant measure of unceasing favours: grant us, thy suppliant people; that as we rejoice to honour her upon earth, so we may enjoy the vision of her in heaven; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
The First Lesson: Gn 12:1-7
Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves. " 4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-fiveyears old when he departed from Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions which they had gathered, and the persons that they had gotten in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan, 6 Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
The Second Lesson: Lk 11:27-28
As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!" 28 But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
The First Lesson: Zec 2:1-13
And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! 2 Then I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length." 3 And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him, 4 and said to him, "Run, say to that young man, 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it. 5 For I will be to her a wall of fire round about, says the LORD, and I will be the glory within her.'" 6 Ho! ho! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the LORD. 7 Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. 8 For thus said the LORD of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: 9 "Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me. 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD. 11 And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 12 And the LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem." 13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
The Second Lesson: Eph 1:3-12
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. 5 He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 which he lavished upon us. 9 For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory.

DEARLY beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty God our heavenly Father, to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.
¶ Then the officiant will continue with the Penitential Rite, saying:
LET us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.
¶ (Or this exhortation, especially
during Lent.)
¶ To be said by the whole Congregation, together with the Officiant, all kneeling.
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; But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare thou those who confess their faults. Restore thou those who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus 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.
¶ If a Priest or Deacon officiates, he
says.
May the Almighty and merciful Lord grant us absolution and
remission of all our sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the
grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

Venite, exultemus Domino. (Psalm xcv.)
O COME, let us sing unto the Lord; * let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; * and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God; * and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth; * and the strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it; * and his hands prepared the dry land.
O come, let us worship and fall down, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts * as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me, * proved me, and saw my works.
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:
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.
(Psalm xcvi, vv 9 & 13)
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
¶ In the 1662 BCP, and in Canada, the Venite is Psalm 95, as above. In 1789, the American BCP replaced the "strong words" of Psalm 95 vv 8-11 with Psalm 96 vv 9 & 13, while also permitting the older tradition of using Psalm 95 without alteration. The Office of Morning Prayer in the Ordinariate will normally follow the older tradition. When using musical settings based on the American BCP, it is permissible to use the American version.

Jubilate Deo. Psalm c.
(On Feasts, Solemnities, and Sundays in Eastertide)
O BE joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: * serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; * we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; * be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; * and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
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.
Good Friday Invitatory.
Behold the Lamb of God: * which taketh away the sin of the world.
He was wounded for our transgressions: * He was bruised for our iniquities.
The chastisement of our peace was upon him: * And with his stripes we are healed.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us: * and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength: * and honor and glory and blessing.
Whitsuntide Invitatory.
Ps 98:1, Ac 2:33, Gal 4:6, 2 Cor 3:18
O SING unto the Lord a new song: * for he hath done marvellous things.
Christ, being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost: * hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
And because ye are sons: * God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
We all, with open face: * beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
Are changed into the same image from glory to glory: * even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
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.
Christmas Invitatory.
BEHOLD a virgin shall conceive and bear a son: * and shall call his Name Immanuel.
Unto us a child is born: * unto us a son is given.
In this was manifested the love of God towards us: * because that God sent his Only Begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: * who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
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.

Kyrie Pantokrator.
Prayer of Manasseh 1-2, 4, 6-7, 11-15.
Antiphon: Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentence and forgiveness * to them that have sinned against thee.
O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, * Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed;
Who hast made heaven and earth, * with all the ornament thereof;
Whom all men fear, * and tremble before thy power.
But thy merciful promise * is unmeasurable and unsearchable;
For thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, long-suffering, very merciful, * and repentest of the evils of men.
Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentence and forgiveness * to them that have sinned against thee.
And of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentence unto sinners, * that they may be saved.
Now therefore I bow the knee of my heart, * beseeching thee of grace.
I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, * and I acknowledge mine iniquities:
Wherefore I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me * and destroy me not with mine iniquities.
Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me: * neither condemn me into the lower parts of the earth.
For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent: * and in me thou wilt show all thy goodness.
For thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, * according to thy great mercy.
Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: * for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee,
And thine is the glory * for ever and ever. Amen.
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.
Antiphon: Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentence and forgiveness * to them that have sinned against thee.
Cantemus Domino. The Song of Moses
Exodus 15:1-6, 11-13, 17-18
I WILL sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; * the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song; * and he is become my salvation:
He is my God and I will prepare him an habitation; * my father's God and I will exalt him.
The Lord is a man of war; * the Lord is his Name.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea; * his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
The depths have covered them; * they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: * thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? * who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; * the earth swallowed them.
Thou in thy mercy led forth the people which thou hast redeemed; * thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them * in the mountain of thine inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in; * in the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
The Lord shall reign * for ever and for ever.
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.
Ecce, Deus. The First Song of Isaiah

BEHOLD, God is my salvation; * I will trust and not be afraid:
For the Lord God is my strength and my song; * he also is become my salvation.
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water * out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say, * Praise the Lord, call upon his Name;
Declare his doings among the people; * make mention that his Name is exalted.
Sing unto the Lord, for he hath done excellent things, * this is known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; * for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of 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.
Surge, Illuminare. The Third Song of Isaiah
Isaiah 60:1-3, 11a, 14c, 18-19
ARISE, shine; for thy light is come, * and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth; * and gross darkness the people:
But the Lord shall arise upon thee, * and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, * and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; * they shall not be shut day nor night.
They shall call thee, The City of the Lord, * The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, * wasting nor destruction within thy borders.
But thou shalt call thy walls, Salvation, * and thy gates Praise.
The sun shall no more be thy light by day; * neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee:
But the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, * and thy God thy glory.
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.
Salvator Mundi.
O SAVIOUR of the world, the Son, Lord Jesus, * stir up thy strength, and help us, we humbly beseech thee.
By thy Cross and precious Blood thou hast redeemed us; * save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee.
Thou didst save thy disciples when they were ready to perish: * hear us and save us, we humbly beseech thee.
Let the pitifulness of thy great mercy * loose us from our sins, we humbly beseech thee.
Make thyself known as our Saviour and mighty Deliverer: * O save us that we may praise thee, we humbly beseech thee.
Draw near from the throne of thy glory, according to thy promise: * look down and hear our crying, we humbly beseech thee.
Come now and dwell with us, O Lord Christ Jesus: * Abide with us for ever, we humbly beseech thee.
And when thou shalt appear with power and great glory: * may we be made like unto thee, in thy glorious Kingdom.
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.

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 Cherubim and Seraphim 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 adorable, 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 humble thyself to be born of a Virgin.
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 be upon us, as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded.

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.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to Judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body: ✠ And the Life everlasting. Amen.
The Collect for the First Sunday in Advent may be said after the Collect of the Day:
ALMIGHTY God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty, to judge both the quick and the dead; we may rise to the life immortal; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
The Collect for Ash Wednesday may be said after the Collect of the Day:
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent: create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
WHOSOEVER will be saved : before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith.
Which Faith except everyone 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 both 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.

This website is an approved implementation of the Daily Offices of Morning Prayer (Matins), Evening Prayer (Evensong), Terce, Sext, Nones, and Compline as approved for use in use in the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter and published in Divine Worship: Daily Office, North American Edition. We pray in traditional English language with prayers treasured for centuries in the life of English-speaking nations around the world. Pope Benedict described the traditional English liturgical texts as "a precious gift nourishing the faith of the members of the Ordinariate and as a treasure to be shared."
We are using the official Ordinariate Lectionary from the Ordo published by the Ordinariate's Office of Worship. You may print the contents of a single office using the "Print a booklet" button above. If you wish to select options different from the default in the booklets, select the Psalm option by clicking on the desired option, and, if you wish, select the musical settings available by clicking on the text of many of of the canticles, and then use the Print function of your browser.
If you join us by phone, press 1 to interrupt the welcome message and join the conference unmuted. If you wish to just listen, press any other key to join the conference muted. Once in the conference, you may mute and unmute by pressing "1" on the phone keypad. The assigned reader will need to unmute when he "stands" to read.
If you call in and no one begins within a few seconds after the bells sound, please take on the role of officiant. Those arriving later will join in with you. Please don't get discouraged if occasionally you are the only participant. We are building critical mass.

¶ Then shall follow a portion of the Psalms, as appointed.
¶ The psalms are recited responsively by whole verse, with a distinct pause at the asterisk.
The officiant recites the full first verse and the congregation follows
with the second. The Gloria Patri follows each Psalm, except during the
Holy Week Triduum. Our local practice is to contine the alternation in unbroken sequence
throughout the entire selection.
¶ See below at the * for a note on our Psalm selection practice.

O GRACIOUS Light, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed! Now as we come to the setting of the sun, Thou art worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices, |
HAIL, gladdening Light—of his pure glory poured Who is the immortal Father, heavenly, blest, Holiest of Holies—Jesus Christ our Lord!

Magnificat. St. Luke i. 46.
MY ✠ soul doth magnify the Lord, * and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded * the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth * all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me; * and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him * throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm; * he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel; * as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.
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.
Nunc dimittis. St. Luke ii. 29.
LORD, ✠ now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, * according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen * thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared * before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, * and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
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.
Christus Jesus cum esset. Philippians 2:6-11
CHRIST Jesus, though he was in the form of God, * did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, * being born in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form, he humbled himself * and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.
Wherefore God hath highly exalted him * and bestowed on him the Name which is above every name,
That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, * in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth,
And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, * to the glory of God the Father.
Alleluia. Salus et gloria. Revelation 19:1-7
ALLELUIA. Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: * For true and righteous are his judgments: Alleluia.
Alleluia. Praise our God, all ye his servants, * and ye that fear him, both small and great. Alleluia.
Alleluia. For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. * Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him. Alleluia.
Alleluia. For the marriage of the Lamb is come, * and his wife hath made herself ready. Alleluia.
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.
Christus passus est pro vobis. 1 Peter 2:21-24
CHRIST suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: * who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; * when he suffered, he threatened not;
But committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: * who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
That we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness: * by whose stripes ye were healed.
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.
Magna et mirabilia. Revelation 15:3-4
GREAT and marvellous are thy works, * Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are thy ways, * Thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy Name? * For thou only art holy:
For all nations shall come and worship before thee; * for thy judgements are made manifest.
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.
Gratias agamus Deo Patri. Colossians 1:12-20
LET us give thanks unto the Father, * who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light:
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, * and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, * even the forgiveness of sins:
Who is the image of the invisible God, * the first-born of all creation:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, * visible and invisible: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, * and by him all things consist.
And he is the head of the body, the Church: * who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead;
That in all things he might have the preeminence. * For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
And, having made peace through the blood of his Cross, * by him to reconcile all things unto himself; whether things in earth, or things in heaven.
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.
Dignus es. Revelation 4:11; 5:9-10, 13
THOU art worthy, O Lord, * to receive glory and honour and power:
For thou hast created all things, * and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Thou art worthy, O Lamb that wast slain, * and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood
Out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation: * and hast made us unto our God kings and priests.
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power * be unto him that sitteth upon the throne
And unto the Lamb * for ever and ever.
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.
