My soul glorifies the Lord,

My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.

He looks on his servant in her lowliness;

Henceforth all generations will call me blessed.

The Almighty works marvels for me.

Holy his name!

His mercy is from age to age, 

on those who fear him.

He puts forth his arm in strength

And scatters the proud hearted.

He casts the mighty from their thrones

And raises the lowly.

He fills the starving with good things,

Sends the rich away empty.

He protects Israel, his servant, 

remembering his mercy,

the mercy promised to our fathers,

to Abraham and his sons for ever.

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.

UK VERSION

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel!

He has visited his people and redeemed them.

He has raised up for us a mighty saviour

In the house of David his servant,

As he promised by the lips of holy men,

Those who were his prophets from of old.

A saviour who would free us from our foes,

From the hands of all who hate us.

So his love for our fathers is fulfilled

And his holy covenant remembered.

He swore to Abraham our father to grant us, 

that free from fear, and saved from the hands of our foes,

we might serve him in holiness and justice

all the days of our life in his presence.

As for you, little child, you shall be called a prophet of God, the Most High.

You shall go ahead of the Lord

To prepare his ways before him.

To make known to his people their salvation

Through forgiveness of all their sins,

The loving-kindness of the heart of our God

Who visits us like the dawn from on high.

He will give light to those in darkness,

Those who dwell in the shadow of death,

And guide us into the way of peace.

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.

USA VERSION

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;

he has come to his people and set them free.

He has raised up for us a mighty savior,

born of the house of his servant David.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old

that he would save us from our enemies,

from the hands of all who hate us.

He promised to show mercy to our fathers

and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath he swore to our father

Abraham:

to set us free from the hands of our enemies,

free to worship him without fear,

holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.

You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;

for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,

to give his people knowledge of salvation 

by the forgiveness of their sins.

In the tender compassion of our God

the dawn from on high shall break upon us,

to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,

and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, Creator come, 

From your bright heavenly throne!

Come, take possession of our souls, 

And make them all your own.

You who are called the Paraclete,

Best gift of God above,

The living spring, the living fire, 

Sweet unction, and true love!

You who are sevenfold in your grace, 

Finger of God's right hand,

His promise, teaching little ones

To speak and understand!

O guide our minds with your blessed light, 

With love our hearts inflame,

And with your strength which never decays

Confirm our mortal frame.

Far from us drive our hellish foe 

True peace unto us bring,

And through all perils guide us safe

Beneath your sacred wing.

Through you may we the Father know,

Through you the eternal Son

And you the Spirit of them both

Thrice-blessed three in one.

All glory to the Father be,

And to the risen Son;

The same to you, O Paraclete,

While endless ages run. Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

And from your celestial home

Shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!

Come, source of all our store!

Come, within our bosoms shine.

You, of comforters the best;

You, the soul's most welcome guest;

Sweet refreshment here below;

In our labor, rest most sweet;

Grateful coolness in the heat;

Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,

Shine within these hearts of yours,

And our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, we have naught,

Nothing good in deed or thought,

Nothing free from taint of ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;

On our dryness pour your dew;

Wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will;

Melt the frozen, warm the chill;

Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore

And confess you, evermore 

In your sevenfold gift descend:

Give them virtue's sure reward;

Give them your salvation, Lord;

Give them joys that never end.

  

Soul of Christ, be my sanctification.

Body of Christ, be my salvation.

Blood of Christ, fill all my veins.

Water of Christ's side, wash out my stains.

Passion of Christ, my comfort be.

O good Jesus, listen to me.

In Thy wounds I fain would hide,

N'er to be parted from Thy side,

Guard me, should the foe assail me.

Call me when my life shall fail me.

Bid me come to Thee above,

With Thy saints to sing Thy love,

World without end. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known 

that anyone who fled to thy protection, 

implored thy help, 

or sought thy intercession, 

was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence 

I fly unto thee, 

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. 

To thee do I come, 

before thee I stand, 

sinful and sorrowful. 

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions, 

but in thy mercy hear and answer me. 

Amen.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

 

Let us pray.

O God, whose only-begotten Son, 

by his life, death and resurrection, 

has purchased for us 

the rewards of eternal life, 

grant, we beseech thee, 

that meditating on these mysteries

of the most holy Rosary of the 

Blessed Virgin Mary, 

we may imitate what they contain 

and obtain what they promise, 

through the same Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

  

O King of peace, give us your peace and pardon our sins. Dismiss the enemies of the Church and protect her so that she never fail. Emmanuel our God is in our midst in the glory of the Father and of the Holy Spirit. May he bless us and purify our hearts and cure the sicknesses of our soul and body. We adore you, O Christ, with your good Father and the Holy Spirit because you have come and you have saved us.

 

Remain in peace, O Altar of God. May the offering that I have taken from you be for the remission of my debts and the pardon of my sins and may it obtain for me that I may stand before the tribunal of Christ without condemnation and without confusion. I do not know if I will have the opportunity to return and offer another sacrifice upon you. Protect me, O Lord, and preserve your holy Church as the way to truth and salvation. Amen.

 

God of the spirits and of all flesh, who have trampled death and annihilated the devil and given life to your world, may you yourself, O Lord, grant to the soul of your deceased servant N. rest in a place of light, a verdant place, a place of freshness, from where suffering, pain and cries are far removed. Do You, O good and compassionate God forgive every fault committed by him in word, work or thought because there is no man who lives and does not sin. You alone are without sin and your justice is justice throughout the ages and your word is truth. Since you, O Christ our God, are the resurrection, the life and the repose of your deceased servant N., we give you glory together with your un-begotten Father and your most holy, good and life-creating Spirit, now and always and forever and ever.

 

O my God, I firmly believe 

that you are one God in three divine Persons,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

I believe that your divine Son became man 

and died for our sins and that he will come 

to judge the living and the dead. 

I believe these and all the truths 

which the Holy Catholic Church teaches

because you have revealed them 

who are eternal truth and wisdom, 

who can neither deceive nor be deceived. 

In this faith I intend to live and die. 

Amen.

 

O Lord God, 

I hope by your grace for the pardon 

of all my sins

and after life here to gain eternal happiness

because you have promised it 

who are infinitely powerful, faithful, kind, 

and merciful. 

In this hope I intend to live and die. 

Amen.

 

O Lord God, I love you above all things 

and I love my neighbor for your sake 

because you are the highest, infinite and perfect

good, worthy of all my love. 

In this love I intend to live and die. 

Amen.

 

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.
