From all evil,
Lord Jesus, deliver us. **
From all sin, **
From anger, hatred, and every evil will, **
From war, famine, and pestilence, **
From all dangers of mind and body, **
From everlasting death, **
Through Thy most pure Conception, **
Through Thy miraculous Nativity, **
Through Thy humble Circumcision, **
Through Thy Baptism and holy fasting, **
Through Thy Labors and Watchings, **
Through Thy cruel Scourging and Crowning, **
Through Thy Thirst, and Tears, and Nakedness, **
Through Thy precious Death and Cross, **
Through Thy glorious Resurrection and Ascension, **
Through Thy sending forth the Holy Ghost, the Paraclete, **
In the day of judgment, we sinners, beseech Thee, hear us.


That Thou wouldst spare us,
We beseech Thee, hear us. ***

That Thou wouldst pardon us, ***

That Thou wouldst bring us to true penance, ***

That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to preserve and increase all societies assembled in Thy holy Name, ***

That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to deliver us from unclean thoughts, the temptations of the devil, and everlasting damnation, ***

That Thou wouldst vouchsafe to unite us to the company of Thy Saints, ***

That Thou wouldst vouchsafe graciously to hear us, ***


Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world;
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world;
Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world;
Have mercy on us.
