A Prayer for Pardon. LORD, we beseech Thee, absolve Thy people from their offences; that through Thy bountiful goodness we may all be delivered from the bands of those sins, which by our frailty we have committed: Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen. OUR UR Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen. O Lord, open Thou our lips. And our mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. ¶ All standing. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end. Amen. Praise : ye the Lord. The Lord's Name be praised. SUNDAY NOON. THE DAY ON WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS GIVEN. ye IF ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom. viii. 13, 14. HYMN. Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, Who dost Thy seven-fold gifts impart. Anoint and cheer our soiled face Teach us to know the Father, Son, The Lesson.-Gal. v. 22—25. BUT the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh Iwith the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. I BELIEVE in One God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible: And in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Onlybegotten Son of God, Begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the Father, By Whom all things were made: Who for us men, and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world Amen. to come. ¶ All Kneeling. The Litany. GOD the Father, of heaven have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O God the Father, of heaven have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O God the Son, Redeemer of the world have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O God the Son, Redeemer of the world: have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son: have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O God the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son: have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners. O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons and one God have mercy upon us miserable sinners. Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers; neither take Thou vengeance of our sins: spare us, good Lord, spare Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy most precious Blood, and be not angry with us for ever. Spare us, good Lord. From all evil and mischief; from sin, from the crafts and assaults of the devil; from Thy wrath, and from everlasting damnation, Good Lord, deliver us. From all blindness of heart; from pride, vainglory, and hypocrisy; from envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness, Good Lord, deliver us. From fornication, and all other deadly sin; and from all the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil, Good Lord, deliver us. From lying, evil-speaking, want of modesty, love of dress, all bad company, and the sin that doth so easily beset us, Good Lord, deliver us. From neglect of prayer, distrust of Thy mercy, hardness of heart, and contempt of Thy Word and Commandinent, Good Lord, deliver us. From all adversities which may happen to the body, all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul, from painful diseases, and sudden death, Good Lord, deliver us. By the mystery of Thy holy Incarnation; by Thy holy Nativity and Circumcision; by Thy Baptism, Fasting, and Temptation, Good Lord, deliver us. |
