Ad Tertiam

Ad Tertiam

Hail Mary. . . God, make haste to help me. Lord, hurry 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. Hymn: Remember the author of salvation. You took on the form of our former body, born of the immaculate Virgin. Mary, Mother of grace, Mother of mercy, protect us from the enemy, and receive us at the hour of our death. Glory to you, Lord, who were born of the Virgin, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen. Antiphon: Mary, the virgin. Psalm 119: To the Lord, when I was in trouble, I cried out, and he heard me. Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips and a deceitful tongue. What shall be given to you, or what shall be added to you, to a deceitful tongue? Sharp arrows of the mighty, with burning coals of the broom tree. Woe is me, for my dwelling is prolonged; I have dwelt with those who dwell in Cedar: my soul has been much a stranger. With those who hate peace, I was peaceful: when I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause. 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. Psalm 120: I lift up my eyes to the mountains: from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip: neither will he who keeps you slumber. Behold, he will neither slumber nor sleep, he who keeps Israel. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your soul. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. 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. Psalm 121: I rejoiced at what was said to me: "Let us go to the house of the Lord." Our feet were standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, built as a city that is bound firmly together. For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. Because there the thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls and security within your towers. For the sake of my brothers and my companions, I will say, "Peace be within you." Because of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good for you. 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. Ant: The Virgin Mary has been taken up to the heavenly chamber, where the King of kings sits on a starry throne. Chapter (Ecclesiasticus 24): And so I was established in Zion, and in the holy city I similarly rested, and my power is in Jerusalem. Thanks be to God. Grace is poured out on your lips. Therefore, God has blessed you forever. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, hear my prayer. Let my cry come to you. Prayer: God, who through the fruitful virginity of the Blessed Mary has bestowed eternal salvation upon the human race, grant that we may feel her intercession for us, through whom we have deserved to receive the author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son: who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen. Lord, hear my prayer. Let my cry come to you. Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God. May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
