Oratio

Christus factus est pro nobis obédiens usque ad mortem.

Secreto

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.

Aliquantulum altius

Réspice, quǽsumus, Dómine, super hanc famíliam tuam, pro qua Dóminus noster Jesus Christus non dubitávit mánibus tradi nocéntium, et crucis subíre torméntum:

Et sub silentio concluditur

Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

℟ Amen.

Christ became obedient for us even unto death.

Quietly

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.

A little louder

Look, we pray, O Lord, upon this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ did not hesitate to be handed over to the power of evildoers and to undergo the torment of the Cross.

And it is concluded in silence

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

℟ Amen.
