-: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.

-''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)
