+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. I will go unto the altar of God:

Even unto the God of my joy and gladness.

Psalm 43. (Not said in Masses of the Dead, or from Passion Sunday to Holy Saturday)

Give sentence with me, O God, and defend my cause against the ungodly people: O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man.

For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me: and bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.

And that I may go unto the altar of God, even the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee. O God, my God.

Why art thou so heavy, O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted within me?

O put thy trust in God: for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Glory be to the Father... and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

[Begin here in Masses for the Dead, and from Passion Sunday to Holy Saturday.]

I will go unto the Altar of God:

Even unto the God of my joy and gladness.

+ Our help is in the name of the Lord:

Who hath made heaven and earth.

I confess to God Almighty, etc.

God Almighty have mercy upon thee, forgive thee thy sins, and bring thee to everlasting life.

Amen.

I confess to God Almighty, to Blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to thee, father, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought word and deed, by my fault, by my own fault, by my own most grievous fault. Wherefore I beg blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, and thee, father, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

God Almighty have mercy upon thee, etc.

Amen.

+ The Almighty and merciful Lord grant unto us pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins.

Amen.

Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us, O God?

That thy people may rejoice in thee.

O Lord, show thy mercy upon us.

And grant us thy salvation.

O Lord, hear my prayer.

And let my cry come unto thee.

The Lord be with you.

And with thy spirit.
