1 Pet 5:8-9
Brethren: Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour. Resist him by being strong in faith.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℣ Our help ✠ is in the name of the Lord.
℟ Who made heaven and earth.
There follows an examination of conscience, or the Our Father said entirely in silence.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed: (strikes his breast) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
May almighty God have mercy on us, and, having forgiven us our sins, bring us to life everlasting. Amen.
May the almighty and merciful Lord grant us ✠ pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins. Amen.
℣ Convert us ✙︎ O God, our Savior.
℟ And turn away your anger from us.
℣ O God, ✠ come to my assistance.
℟ Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

Psalm 11 [1]
11:2 Save me, O Lord, because holiness has passed away, * because truths have been diminished, before the sons of men.
11:3 They have been speaking emptiness, each one to his neighbor; * they have been speaking with deceitful lips and a duplicitous heart.

Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut pro tua cleméntia

Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nostrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.

Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
