Psalmus 87 [1]
87:2 Dómine, Deus salútis meæ: * in die clamávi, et nocte coram te.
87:3 Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:
87:4 Quia repléta est malis ánima mea: * et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.
87:5 Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum: * factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.
87:6 Sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlcris, quorum non es memor ámplius: * et ipsi de manu tua repúlsi sunt.
87:7 Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri: * in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.
87:8 Super me confirmátus est furor tuus: * et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.
87:9 Longe fecísti notos meos a me: * posuérunt me abominatiónem sibi.
87:9 Tráditus sum, et non egrediébar: * óculi mei languérunt præ inópia.
87:10 Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die: * expándi ad te manus meas.
87:11 Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: * aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?
87:12 Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlcro misericórdiam tuam, * et veritátem tuam in perditióne?
87:13 Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua, * et justítia tua in terra obliviónis?
87:14 Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi: * et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.
87:15 Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis oratiónem meam: * avértis fáciem tuam a me?
87:16 Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a juventúte mea: * exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.
87:17 In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: * et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.
87:18 Circumdedérunt me sicut aqua tota die: * circumdedérunt me simul.
87:19 Elongásti a me amícum et próximum: * et notos meos a miséria.
℣ Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
℟ Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Psalmus 27 [2]
27:1 Ad te, Dómine, clamábo, Deus meus, ne síleas a me: * nequándo táceas a me, et assimilábor descendéntibus in lacum.
27:2 Exáudi, Dómine, vocem deprecatiónis meæ dum oro ad te: * dum extóllo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.
27:3 Ne simul trahas me cum peccatóribus: * et cum operántibus iniquitátem ne perdas me.
27:3 Qui loquúntur pacem cum próximo suo, * mala autem in córdibus eórum.
27:4 Da illis secúndum ópera eórum, * et secúndum nequítiam adinventiónum ipsórum.
27:4 Secúndum ópera mánuum eórum tríbue illis: * redde retributiónem eórum ipsis.
27:5 Quóniam non intellexérunt ópera Dómini, et in ópera mánuum ejus * déstrues illos, et non ædificábis eos.
27:6 Benedíctus Dóminus: * quóniam exaudívit vocem deprecatiónis meæ.
27:7 Dóminus adjútor meus, et protéctor meus: * in ipso sperávit cor meum, et adjútus sum.
27:7 Et reflóruit caro mea: * et ex voluntáte mea confitébor ei.
27:8 Dóminus fortitúdo plebis suæ: * et protéctor salvatiónum Christi sui est.
27:9 Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, et bénedic hereditáti tuæ: * et rege eos, et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
℣ Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
℟ Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Psalmus 31 [3]
31:1 Beáti quorum remíssæ sunt iniquitátes: * et quorum tecta sunt peccáta.
31:2 Beátus vir, cui non imputávit Dóminus peccátum, * nec est in spíritu ejus dolus.
31:3 Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum clamárem tota die.
31:4 Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua: * convérsus sum in ærúmna mea, dum confígitur spina.
31:5 Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et injustítiam meam non abscóndi.
31:5 Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me injustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.
31:6 Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno.
31:6 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.
31:7 Tu es refúgium meum a tribulatióne, quæ circúmdedit me: * exsultátio mea, érue me a circumdántibus me.
31:8 Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos.
31:9 Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus.
31:9 In camo et freno maxíllas eórum constrínge, * qui non appróximant ad te.
31:10 Multa flagélla peccatóris, * sperántem autem in Dómino misericórdia circúmdabit.
31:11 Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, justi, * et gloriámini, omnes recti corde.
℣ Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.
℟ Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.

87:2 O Lord, God of my salvation: * I have cried out, day and night, in your presence.
87:3 Let my prayer enter in your sight. * Incline your ear to my petition.
87:4 For my soul has been filled with evils, * and my life has drawn near to Hell.
87:5 I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. * I have become like a man without assistance, idle among the dead.
87:6 I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, * and who have been repelled by your hand.
87:7 They have lain me in the lower pit: * in dark places and in the shadow of death.
87:8 Your fury has been confirmed over me. * And you have brought all your waves upon me.
87:9 You have sent my acquaintances far from me. * They have set me as an abomination to themselves.
87:9 I was handed over, yet I did not depart. * My eyes languished before destitution.
87:10 All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. * I stretched out my hands to you.
87:11 Will you perform wonders for the dead? * Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?
87:12 Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, * or your truth from within perdition?
87:13 Will your wonders be known in the darkness, * or your justice in the land of oblivion?
87:14 And I have cried out to you, O Lord, * and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.
87:15 Lord, why do you reject my prayer? * Why do you turn your face away from me?
87:16 I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. * And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
87:17 Your wrath has crossed into me, * and your terrors have disturbed me.
87:18 They have surrounded me like water, all day long. * They have surrounded me, all at once.
87:19 Friend and neighbor, * and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
℣ Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
℟ And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
Psalm 27 [2]
27:1 To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. * For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.
27:2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, * when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
27:3 Do not draw me away together with sinners; * and let me not perish with those who work iniquity,
27:3 who speak peacefully to their neighbor, * yet evils are in their hearts.
27:4 Give to them according to their works * and according to the wickedness of their inventions.
27:4 Assign to them according to the works of their hands. * Repay them with their own retribution.
27:5 Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, * you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.
27:6 Blessed is the Lord, * for he has heard the voice of my supplication.
27:7 The Lord is my helper and my protector. * In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped.
27:7 And my flesh has flourished again. * And from my will, I shall confess to him.
27:8 The Lord is the strength of his people * and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.
27:9 O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, * and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
℣ Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
℟ And let perpetual light * shine upon them.
Psalm 31 [3]
31:1 Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven * and whose sins have been covered.
31:2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
31:3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old, * while still I cried out all day long.
31:4 For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. * I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
31:5 I have acknowledged my offense to you, * and I have not concealed my injustice.
31:5 I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” * and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
31:6 For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you * in due time.
31:6 Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, * they will not draw near to him.
31:7 You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. * You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
31:8 I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. * I will fix my eyes upon you.
31:9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * which have no understanding.
31:9 Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, * so as not to draw near to you.
31:10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
31:11 Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, * and glory, all you upright of heart.
℣ Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.
℟ And let perpetual light * shine upon them.

℟ Amen.
Martyrology
The Fourth of November. The thirteenth day of the moon. In the year of our Lord 2025.
On this day, the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Our common loving Mother, the Church, after striving to celebrate with fitting praise all her children who already rejoice in heaven, now also strives to aid all who still groan in Purgatory by powerful intercessions before Christ, her Lord and Spouse, that they may join the company of the citizens of heaven as soon as possible.
Saint Charles Borromeo, Cardinal, Bishop of Milan, and Confessor, who passed into heaven on the day before this feast.
At Bologna, the holy Martyrs Vitalis and Agricola; of whom the former had previously been the latter's servant, but afterward became his companion and colleague in martyrdom. Upon Vitalis himself the persecutors applied every kind of torment, so that there was no place on his body without a wound; bearing all this steadfastly, he gave back his spirit to God in prayer; Agricola they slew by affixing him to a cross with very many nails. When Saint Ambrose attended the translation of their relics, he recounts that he gathered the Martyr's nails, the triumphant blood, and the wood of the cross, and laid them under the sacred altars.
In the monastery of Cervus Frigidus, in the territory of Meaux, the heavenly birthday of Saint Felix of Valois, Priest and Confessor; who was the Founder of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity for the Redemption of Captives. His feast, by the disposition of Pope Innocent XI, is celebrated on the twentieth of November.
On the same day, likewise the heavenly birthday of the holy Philologus and Patrobas, disciples of the holy Apostle Paul.
At Autun, Saint Proculus, Bishop and Martyr.
At Myra, in Lycia, the holy Martyrs Nicander, Bishop, and Hermas, Priest, under the governor Libanius.
In the territory of Vexin, in Gaul, Saint Clarus, Priest and Martyr.
At Ephesus, Saint Porphyrius, Martyr, under the Emperor Aurelian.
Near Rodez, in Gaul, Blessed Amantius, Bishop, whose life was glorious in holiness and miracles.
At Rome, the heavenly birthday of Saint Pierius, Alexandrian Priest, who, nobly learned in the divine Scriptures, most pure in life, and wholly divested of possessions and free of encumbrances for Christian philosophy, taught the people most brilliantly under the Emperors Carus and Diocletian while Theonas was governing the Alexandrian Church, and published various treatises; but after the persecution, having spent the whole remaining time of his life at Rome, rested in peace.
In Bithynia, Saint Joannicius, Abbot.
At Alba Regia, in Pannonia, the burial of Blessed Emeric, Confessor, who was the son of Saint Stephen, King of Hungary.
At Trier, Saint Modesta, Virgin.
℣ And elsewhere of many other holy Martyrs and Confessors, and holy Virgins.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℣ The just shall be in everlasting remembrance.
℟ They shall not fear evil tidings.
Let us pray.
O God, giver of pardon and lover of human salvation, we beseech your mercy: through the intercession of blessed Mary ever Virgin and all your Saints, grant that the souls of all the faithful who have departed this world may attain the fellowship of everlasting blessedness. Through Christ our Lord.
℟ Amen.
