(Prayers of repentance)
Have mercy on us, O Lord. Have mercy on us. We sinners bring this appeal to You, O Master, for we have no defense. Have mercy on us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
Lord, have mercy on us, for we have put our trust in You. Be not exceedingly angry with us, and do not remember our transgressions, but look upon us even now and save us with compassion. Redeem us from our enemies, for You are our God and we are Your people. We are all the work of Your hands and we call upon Your name.
Now and always and for ever and ever. Amen
Open the doors of mercy to us, O Blessed Mother of God, that we who hope in you may not perish but be delivered by you from danger, for you are the salvation of the Christian people.
