Ps. 129. of the depths I E profundis clamavi have cried to Thee, ad te, Domine : Domine, exaudi vocem me am. O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. Let Thine ears be at tentive: to the voice of my supplication. If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand? For with Thee there is propitiation: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord. From the morning tisque ad noctem : speret watch even until night : Israel in Domino. let Israel hope in the Lord. Quia apud Dominum Because with the Lord misericordia: et copiosa apud eum redemptio.

FRANCIS XAVIER. MY God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby, Nor yet because who love Thee not Thou, Jesu, on the Cross didst me With out-stretched arms embrace; For me didst bear the nails, and spear, And griefs and torments numberless, agony ; Yea, death itself; and all for me Who was Thine enemy. Then why, O Blessed Jesu Christ, Not from the hope of gaining aught, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord, Ev'n so I love Thee, and will love, A Short Office for the forenoon, Which on Sundays and Holydays may be said before High Mass. Our Father. Hail Mary. V. O God, come to my assistance : Glory be to the Father &c. Alleluia (when proper). 0 HYMN. Nunc Sancte nobis Spiritus. HOLY Ghost, who ever one Art with the Father and the Son : And us with strength'ning grace befriend. To Thee our minds and hearts we raise : O gracious Father, be it done, Through Jesus Christ Thine only Son : Ps. 118, Pts. 1 and 2. Beati immaculati. LESSED are the undefiled in the way : who walk the law of the Lord. BLES Blessed are they that search His testimonies : that seek Him with their whole heart. For they that work iniquity: have not walked in His ways. Thou hast commanded Thy commandments: to be kept most diligently. O that my ways may be directed: to keep Thy justifications! Then shall I not be confounded: when I shall look into all Thy commandments. I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart: when I shall have learned the judgments of Thy justice. I will keep Thy justifications: O forsake me not utterly. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing Thy words. With my whole heart have I sought after Thee : let me not stray from Thy commandments. Thy words have I hidden in my heart: that I may not sin against Thee. Blessed art Thou, O Lord; teach me Thy justifications. With my lips I have pronounced: all the judg. ments of Thy mouth. I have been delighted in the way of Thy testimonies as in all riches. : I will meditate on Thy commandments: and I will consider Thy ways. I will think of Thy justifications: I will not forget Thy words. Glory &c. 0 LESSON. Is. 33.
