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.

℣ 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.
Alleluia.

6:4 and my soul has been very troubled. * But as for you, Lord, how long?
6:5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul. * Save me because of your mercy.
6:6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you. * And who will confess to you in the underworld?
6:7 I have labored in my groaning. † Every night I will wash my bed: * with my tears I will drench my bedding.

Psalm 7(2-10) [2]

7:3 lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
7:4 O Lord, my God, if I have done this, * if there is iniquity in my hands,
7:5 if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, * may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
7:6 let the enemy pursue my soul, † and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, * and drag down my glory into the dust.
7:7a Rise up, Lord, in your anger. * And be exalted to the borders of my enemies.
7:7b And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded, * (8a) and a congregation of people will surround you.

Psalm 7(11-18) [3]
7:11 Just is my help from the Lord, * who saves the upright of heart.
7:12 God is a just judge, strong and patient. * How could he be angry throughout every day?
7:13 Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. * He has extended his bow and made it ready.
7:14 And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. * He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
7:15 Behold, he has labored with injustice: * he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
7:16 He has opened a pit and enlarged it. * And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
7:17 His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, * and his iniquity will descend upon his crown.
7:18 I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, * and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.

Hymnus
Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut pro tua cleméntia
Sis præsul et custódia.
Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nostrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Before the end of light,
We pray to you, Creator of all things,
That according to your clemency
You may be our guardian and protector.
Let dreams depart far away,
And the phantoms of the night;
And restrain our foe,
Lest our bodies be defiled.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.
