Septuagesima and Lent

 

ANT. O Lord,  repay us not according to the sins we have committed or according to our iniquities. O Lord, remember not our former transgressions: let Thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are becoming poor.

V/. Spare, O Lord, spare Thy people.
R/. Whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.

Let us pray.
O GOD, Whom to love above all is righteousness, multiply in us the gifts of Thy ineffable grace; and since Thou hast given us, in the death of Thy Son, to hope for those things which we believe, grant us in the Resurrection of the same to attain the end to which we aspire. Who liveth and reighneth forever and ever. Amen.

Let us pray.
O GOD, Who dost gladden us with the yearly celebration of our Lord’s Resurrection, grant, in Thy mercy, that through the feast which we solemnize in time, we may be worthy to attain to eternal joys. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
