Hymnus
Nunc, Sancte, nobis, Spíritus,
Unum Patri cum Fílio,
Dignáre promptus íngeri
Nostro refúsus péctori.
Os, lingua, mens, sensus, vigor
Confessiónem pérsonent.
Flamméscat igne cáritas,
Accéndat ardor próximos.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Now, Holy Spirit, for us,
One with the Father and the Son,
Deign readily to enter,
Poured into our hearts.
May mouth, tongue, mind, senses, strength
Resound with confession.
May charity blaze with fire,
May its ardor kindle our neighbors.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.

Ant. The Lord * is my light and my salvation. ‡
Psalm 26(1-6) [1]
26:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, * ‡ whom shall I fear?
26:1 The Lord is the protector of my life, * of whom shall I be afraid?
26:2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, * so as to eat my flesh.
26:2 Those who trouble me, my enemies, * have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
26:3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, * my heart would not fear.
26:3 If a battle were to rise up against me, * I would have hope in this.
26:4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
26:4 so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, * and may visit his temple.
26:5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. * In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
26:6 He has exalted me upon the rock, * and now he has exalted my head above my enemies.
26:6 I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. * I will sing, and I will sing a psalm, to the Lord.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

26:9 Do not turn your face away from me. * In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant.
26:9 Be my helper. * Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Savior.
26:10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, * but the Lord has taken me up.
26:11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, * and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
26:12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. * For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
26:13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord * in the land of the living.

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.
