Afternoon Prayer or None
V. O Lady, make speed to befriend me.
R. From the hands of the enemy powerfully defend me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.—Amen.
Praise be to thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.
Hymn
Hail City of refuge,
Hail, David's high tower,
With battlements crown'd
And girded with power.
Fill'd at thy Conception
With love and with light,
The dragon by thee
Was shorn of his might.
O Woman most valiant,
O Judith thrice blest,
As David was nurs'd
In fair Abisag's breast.
As the saviour of Egypt
Upon Rachel's knee;
So the world's great Redeemer
Was cherish'd by thee.
V. Thou art all fair, my beloved.
R. And the original stain was never in thee.
V. O Lady, recommend my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let Us Pray.
Holy Mary, Queen of heaven, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Mistress of the world, who forsakest no one, and despisest none; look upon me, O Lady, with an eye of pity, and obtain for me, of thy beloved Son, the forgiveness of all my sins; that, as I now celebrate with devout affection thy holy and Immaculate Conception, so, hereafter, I may receive the prize of eternal blessedness, by the grace of Him whom thou, in virginity, didst bring forth, Jesus Christ our Lord; who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, in perfect Trinity, God, world without end.—Amen.
V. O Lady, recommend my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
V. Let us bless the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
V. May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
