Latin text
- Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus;
- ne subito praeoccupati die mortis,
- quaeramus spatium poenitentiae,
- et invenire non possimus.
- Attende, Domine, et miserere;
- quia peccavimus tibi.
- Adjuva nos,
- Deus salutaris noster,
- et propter honorem nominis tui libera nos.
English translation translation by William Mahrt
- Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance;
- lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death,
- we seek space for repentance,
- and be not able to find it.
- Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy:
- for we have sinned against thee.
- Help us, O God of our salvation,
- and for the honour of thy name deliver us.
(Ps. 78:9; Distribution of Ashes, Ash Wednesday; First Sunday of Lent, Matins Responsory; cf. Esther 13, Joel 2)
