The Divine Lamp

Say the Hail Mary. Then:

O Lord, open Thou my lips
And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
O God, make speed to save me
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father….

Hymn. Castae Parentis viscera.

Within that Parent’s spotless breast
The Grace of heaven descends to rest;
The Maiden in her womb doth bear.
But how, her tongue may not declare.

Her bosom meek, all suddenly
Becomes the shrine of God Most High;
She knows not man, the Undefiled,
Yet she conceives the Holy Child.

Let glory everlasting be,
O Lord, Thou Virgin’s Son, to Thee,
With Father and with Paraclete,
To endless ages, as is meet. Amen.

Ant. Thou Son of God was made of the Seed of David.

3. For strangers are risen up against me, and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.
4. Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5. He shall reward evil unto mine enemies. Destroy Thou them in Thy truth.
6. An offering of a free heart will I give Thee, and praise Thy Name, O Lord; for it is good.
7. For He hath delivered me out of all of my trouble; and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. Glory be….

10. Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord is King; and that it is he who has made the round world fast that it cannot be moved; and how that He shall judge the people righteously.
11. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is.

The Little Chapter. Isa 11:1

There shall come forth a Rod out of the Stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of His Roots; and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him.
Thanks be to God. His Seed shall endure forever. And His throne, like as the sun before me, shall endure forever. Glory be... His Seed shall endure forever.

His dominion shall be from the one sea to the other. And from the flood unto the world’s end.
The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray:

O Lord, defend Thy servants with the gifts of peace; and as they do hope for th aid of the prayers of the Blessed Ever-Virgin Mary, give them safety from all enemies and freedom from all dangers. Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.  (Excerpted from the Paris Psalter.  A public domain book).
