℣. O Lord, hear my prayer.
℟. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
Stir up, O Lord, we pray thee, thy strength, and come among us, that whereas through our sins and wickedness we do justly apprehend thy wrathful judgments hanging over us, thy bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us;
Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.

Let us pray.
Commemoration St. Sabbas, Abbot
May the intercession of the blessed Abbot Sabbas, commend us to You, O Lord, so that through his merits we may obtain that which we cannot accomplish by our own.

de S. Maria Advent
O God, Who, by the message of an Angel, willed to take flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, grant that we, your suppliants, who believe her to be truly the Mother of God, may be helped by her intercession with You.

Contra persecutores Ecclesiæ

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
