The Second Sunday of Lent: Preces


 Vespers I

Magnificémus Deum, cui cura est de ómnibus. Eum invocémus, dicéntes: Da, Dómine, salútem redémptis.
Deus, dator múnerum et fons veritátis, reple donis tuis collégium episcopórum,
—et fidéles, iis concréditos, serva in Apostolórum doctrína.
Caritátem tuam infúnde ómnibus, qui de uno pane vitæ commúnicant,
—quo arctióre unitáte fruántur in córpore Fílii tui.
Véterem hóminem cum áctibus suis nos exspoliáre concéde,
—et Christum Fílium tuum novum indúere hóminem.
Concéde, ut omnes per pæniténtiam peccatórum suórum véniam obtíneant,
—et supérnæ fiant Christi tui satisfactiónis partícipes.
Fac ut in pace tua defúncti te sine fine laudent in cælo,
—ubi et nos te in ævum celebratúros sperámus.



Let us magnify God, who cares for all. May we call upon him saying:
Give salvation to the redeemed, O Lord.
O God, the giver of gifts and the source of truth, fill the college of bishops with your gifts,
and keep them faithful to the teaching of the Apostles, which has been entrusted to them.
Pour out your love upon all, who share in the one bread of life, by which they may share a
closer unity in the body of your Son.
Grant that we may take away the old man with his deeds and put on the new man, Christ, your Son.
Grant that through penance for their sins all may obtain pardon and partake of the heavenly satisfaction of your Christ.
Grant that those who have departed in your peace may praise you without end in heaven, where we also hope to celebrate you forever.



Lauds

Deum glorificémus, cuius bonitátis infinítus est thesáurus, et per Iesum Christum, qui est semper vivens ad interpellándum pro nobis, eum deprecémur, dicéntes: Accénde in nobis ignem tui amóris.
Deus misericórdiæ, fac ut hódie abundémus in opéribus pietátis,
—atque omnes nostram experiántur humanitátem.
Qui in dilúvio Noe per arcam salvásti,
—salva catechúmenos in aqua baptísmatis.
Præsta nos non solo pane satiári,
—sed omni verbo, quod procédit de ore tuo.
Fac ut omnes dissensiónes componámus,
—ut pace et caritáte, te donánte, gaudeámus.

Let us glorify God, whose treasury of goodness is endless and through Jesus Christ, who ever lives to make intercession for us, let pray to him, saying: Enkindle in us the fire of our love.
O God of mercy, cause us to abound in works of love and that all may experience our humanity.
You who in the flood saved Noah through the ark, save the catechumens in the water of baptism.
Grant that we may not be filled with bread alone, but by every which proceeds from your mouth.
May we bring peace to all strife that by your gift we may rejoice in peace and charity.


Vespers II

Grátias Christo, cápiti et magístro nostro, semper agámus, qui venit ministráre et ómnibus benefácere. Ideo humíliter fidentérque ab eo petámus: Vísita, Dómine, famíliam tuam.
Adésto, Dómine, epíscopis et presbýteris Ecclésiæ tuæ, qui munus tuum cápitis et pastóris partícipant,
—ut per te ad Patrem omnes addúcant.
Angelus tuus iter agéntes comitétur,
—ut omnes ánimæ corporísque insídias devítent.
Doce nos homínibus ministráre,
—ut te imitémur, qui venísti ministráre, non ministrári.
Fac ut in omni humána communitáte frater adiuvétur a fratre,
—ut sint, te astánte, quasi cívitas firma.
Miséricors esto univérsis defúnctis,
—eósque in lumen vultus tui admítte.

Let us always give thanks to Christ, our Head and Teacher, who came to bless all and minister to all.
Therefore, we humbly and faithfully ask of him: Visit, your family, O Lord
Be present, O Lord, to the bishops and priests of your Church, those who share in your office of Head and Teacher, that through you they may lead all to the Father.
May your angel accompany those, who travel, that they might be delivered from the snares of soul and body.
Teach us to minister to men, that we might imitate you, who came to serve, not to be served.
Cause that in every human community, brother may be served by brother, that with your presence they might be like a strong city.
Be merciful to all the departed, and admit them into the light of your presence.
