AD LAUDES

Non dicatur Pater noster, neque Credo, neque Domine labia mea aperies,neque Deus in adjutorium, neque Venite exsultemus, sed absolute inchoetur.


Psalmus 50
Miserere mei Deus secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci ut iustificeris in sermonibustuis et vincas cum iudicaris.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asparges me hysopo et mundabor lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam exultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me Deus et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
Ne proicias me a facie tua et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui et spiritu principali confirma me.
Docebo iniquos vias tuas et impii ad te convertentur.
Libera me de sanguinibus Deus Deus salutis meae exultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam.
Domine labia mea aperies et os meum adnuntiabit laudem tuam.
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis.
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus cor contritum et humiliatum Deus non despicies.
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion et aedificentur muri Jerusalem.
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae oblationes et holocausta tunc
inponent super altare tuum vitulos.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.



Ant. Exsultabunt Domino ossa humilitata.

Psalmus 64
Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
Exaudi orationem ad te omnis caro veniet.
Verba iniquorum praevaluerunt super nos et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.
Beatus quem elegisti et adsumpsisti inhabitabit in atriis tuis.
Replebimur in bonis domus tuae sanctum est templum tuum mirabile in aequitate.
Exaudi nos Deus salutaris noster spes omnium finium terrae et in mari longe.
Praeparans montes in virtute tua accinctus potentia: qui conturbas profundum maris sonum fluctuum eius.
Turbabuntur gentes et timebunt qui inhabitant terminos a signis tuis exitus matutini et vespere delectabis.
Visitasti terram et inebriasti eam multiplicasti locupletare eam.
Flumen Dei repletum est aquis parasti cibum illorum quoniam ita est praeparatio eius.
Rivos eius inebria multiplica genimina eius in stillicidiis eius laetabitur germinans.
Benedices coronae anni benignitatis tuae et campi tui replebuntur ubertate.
Pinguescent speciosa deserti et exultatione colles accingentur,
Induti sunt arietes ovium et valles abundabunt frumento clamabunt etenim hymnum dicent.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.






Ant. Exaudi Domine orationem meam: ad te omnis caro veniet.

Psalmus 62
Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo sitivit in te anima mea quam multipliciter tibi caro mea.
In terra deserta et invia et inaquosa sic in sancto apparui tibi ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas labia mea laudabunt te.
Sic benedicam te in vita mea in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
Sicut adipe et pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia exultationis laudabit os meum.
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum in matutinis meditabar in te quia fuisti adiutor meus.
Et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua.
Ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae: tradentur in manus gladii partes vulpium erunt.
Rex vero laetabitur in Deo laudabitur omnis qui iurat in eo quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.


Ant. Me suscepit dextera tua, Domine.

Canticum Ezechiae Regis
Isaiae 38

Ego dixi: in dimidio dierum meorum vadam ad portas inferi.
Quaesivi residuum annorum meorum. Dixi: non videbo Dominum Dominum in terra viventium.
Non aspiciam hominem ultra et habitatorem quietis.
Generatio mea ablata est et convoluta est a me quasi tabernaculum pastorum.
Praecisa est velut a texente vita mea dum adhuc ordirer succidit me de mane usque ad vesperam finies me.
Sperabam usque ad mane quasi leo sic contrivit omnia ossa mea:
De mane usque ad vesperam finies me sicut pullus hirundinis sic clamabo meditabor ut columba:
Attenuati sunt oculi mei suspicientes in excelsum:
Domine, vim patior sponde pro me. Quid dicam aut quid respondebit mihi cum ipse fecerit?
Recogitabo omnes annos meos in amaritudine animae meae.
Domine, sic vivitur et in talibus vita spiritus mei corripies me et vivificabis me.
Ecce in pace amaritudo mea amarissima:
Tu autem eruisti animam meam ut non periret proiecisti post tergum tuum omnia peccata mea.
Quia non infernus confitebitur tibi neque mors laudabit te non expectabunt qui descendunt in lacum veritatem tuam.
Vivens vivens ipse confitebitur tibi sicut et ego hodie pater filiis notam faciet veritatem tuam.
Domine, salvum me fac, et psalmos nostros cantabimus cunctis diebus vitae nostrae in domo Domini.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.



Ant. A porta inferi erue Domine animas eorum.

Psalmus 150
Laudate Dominum in sanctis eius: laudate eum in firmamento virtutis eius.
Laudate eum in virtutibus eius: laudate eum secundum multitudinem magnitudinis eius.
Laudate eum in sono tubae: laudate eum in psalterio et cithara.
Laudate eum in tympano et choro laudate eum in cordis et organo.
Laudate eum in cymbalis benesonantibus: laudate eum in cymbalis iubilationis: omnis spiritus laudet Dominum.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Ant. Omnis spiritus laudet Dominum.

Immediate sequitur Canticum Benedictus.

Benedictus + Dominus, Deus Israel: quia visitavit, et fecit redemptionem plebis suae:
Et erexit cornu salutis nobis: in domo David, pueri sui.
Sicut locutus est per os sanctorum, qui a saeculo sunt, prophetarum ejus:
Salutem ex inimicis nostris, et de manu omnium, qui oderunt nos.
Ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris: et memorari testamenti sui sancti.
Jusjurandum, quod juravit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, daturum se nobis:
Ut sine timore, de manu inimicorum nostrorum liberati, serviamus illi.
In sanctitate, et justitia coram ipso, omnibus diebus nostris.
Et tu, puer, Propheta Altissimi vocaberis: praeibis enim ante faciem
Domini, parare vias ejus:
Ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi ejus: in remissionem peccatorum eorum:
Per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri: in quibus visitavit nos, oriens ex alto:
Illuminare his, qui in tenebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis.


Ad Bened. Ant. Ego sum resurrectio et vita: qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet: et omnis, qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum.


Finita post Canticum Antiphona, dicatur secreto Pater noster, deinde legendo voce mediocri Psalmus De profundis:

Psalmus 129
De profundis clamavi ad te Domine: Domine exaudi vocem meam:
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris Domine, Domine quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo eius: speravit anima mea in Domino.
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israhel in Domino.
Quia apud Dominum misericordia et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israhel ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis.

V. A porta inferi.
R. Erue Domine animas eorum.

R. Libera me Domine de morte aeterna, in die illa tremenda: * Quando caeli movendi sunt, et terra: Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
V. Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miserae, dies magna et amara valde. - Quando caeli movendi sunt, et terra: Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
V. Tremens factus sum ego, et timebo, dum discussio venerit, atque ventura ira. - Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.
V. Creator omnium rerum Deus, qui me de limo terrae formasti, et mirabiliter proprio sanguine redemisti, corpusque meum, licet modo putrescat, de sepulcro facies in die judicii resuscitari: exaudi, exaudi me, ut animam meam in sinu Abrahae patriarchae tui jubeas collocari.
R. Libera me Domine de morte aeterna, in die illa tremenda: * Quando caeli movendi sunt, et terra: Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem.

Pater noster... Et ne nos inducas intentationem.
R. Sed libera nos a malo.

V. A porta inferi.
R. Erue Domine animas eorum.

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.

Deinde Pater noster, secreto.
Lauds

Neither the Our Father nor the Credo nor Lord, open my lips nor O God come to my assistence nor the invitatory psalm, but the office begins immediately.

Psalm 51
Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.
And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Ant. The bones that have been crushed shall exult in the Lord.

Psalm 65
A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,
Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:
Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,
And they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; thou hast many ways enriched it.
The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy,
The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Ant. O Lord, listen to my prayer: let everything in the flesh come to you.

Psalm 63
O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day.
For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
But they have fought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Ant. Receive me atthy right hand, O Lord.

Canticle of King Ezekiel
Isaiah 38

I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell:
I sought for the residue of my years. I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.
I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest.
My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd’s tent.
My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: from morning Even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:
From morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:
My eyes are weakened looking upward:
Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?
I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live.
Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:
But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.
The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make the truth known to the children.
O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Ant. From the gates of hell deliver their souls, O Lord.

Psalm 150
Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: praise ye him in the firmament of his power.
Praise ye him for his mighty acts: praise ye him according to the multitude of his greatness.
Praise him with the sound of trumpet: praise him with psaltery and harp.
Praise him with timbrel and choir: praise him with strings and organs.
Praise him on high sounding cymbals: praise him on cymbals of joy: let every spirit praise the Lord. Alleluia.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Ant. Let every soul praise the Lord.

The Benedictus canticle immediately follows.

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.

Ben. Ant. I am the resurrection and the life: whoever believes in me, even though he dies, shall live: and all who live and believe in me shall have life eternal.


Closing after the Canticle Antiphon, the Our Father is said in secret, and then in a low voice is read:

Psalm 130
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.
Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it?
For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law,
I have waited for thee, O Lord.
My soul hath relied on his word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

V. From the gates of hell
R. Deliver their souls, O Lord.

R. Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day * When the heavens and the earth shall be moved: when thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
V. Day of wrath, day of anger, of calamity and misery when the day of account and wrath shall come. - When thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
V. I am full of fear and I tremble: when thou shalt come to judge the world by fire. - When you come to judge the world by fire.
V. O God, creator of all things, who have formed me from the clay of the earth and miraculously have redeemed me by your precious blood, although my body may rot in this life, you will make it rise from the sepulchre on the day of judgement. Hear, o hear me so that thou might bid my soul to recline upom the bosom of the patriarch Abraham.
R. Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day * When the heavens and the earth shall be moved: when thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.

Our Father ... and lead us not into temptation.
R. But deliver us from evil.

V. From the gates ofhell
R. Deliver their souls, O Lord.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

If for the Pope,

First prayer
O God who in thine ineffable will hath desired thy servant Pope John Paul II to number among the highest of priests, grant, we beseech thee, that he who on earth carried the vicarage of your only-begotten Son, may also be joined unto the the perpetual society of your holy popes.

Second prayer
O God, the giver of pardon, and the lover of human salvation, we beseech thy clemency, that thou grant the brethren of our congregation, kinsfolk, and benefactors, which are departed out of this world, blessed Mary ever virgin making intercession with all the saints, to come to the fellowship of eternal blessedness.


Third prayer
O God, the creator and redeemer of all the faithful, give unto the souls of thy servants, men and women, remission of all their sins, that through Godly supplications they may obtain the pardon which they have always wished for. Who livest and reignest, world with end.
R. Amen


May he rest in peace.
R. Amen

Then the Our Father is said in secret.
