Ad Sextam

Hail Mary. . . God, come to my aid. 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 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 be to you, Lord, who was born of the Virgin, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen. Antiphon: In the fragrance. Psalm 122: To you I lift up my eyes, you who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters. So our eyes look to the Lord our God until he has mercy on us. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we are filled with contempt. For our soul is filled with much reproach, and with the scorn of the proud. 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 123: If the Lord had not been on our side, let Israel now say: if the Lord had not been on our side. When men rose up against us, they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was kindled against us, perhaps the waters would have engulfed us. The soul has passed through a torrent; perhaps our soul would have passed through intolerable waters. Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul is like a bird escaped from the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. 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 124: Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but endures forever. The mountains surround Jerusalem, and the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forevermore. For the Lord will not leave the rod of the wicked over the lot of the righteous, so that the righteous will not stretch out their hands to iniquity. Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart. But the Lord will lead away those who turn aside to their own ways, along with the workers of iniquity: peace be upon Israel. 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: We run to the fragrance of your ointments; the young women have loved you greatly. Chapter (Ecclesiasticus 24): I took root in a honored people, and in the parts of my God I have my inheritance; and in the fullness of the saints is my dwelling. Blessed are you among women. And blessed is the fruit of your womb. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, hear my prayer. Let my cry come to you. Prayer: Merciful God, grant us strength in our weakness, that as we celebrate the memory of the holy Mother of God, we may, through her intercession, rise from our sins. Through the same 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. And 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.
