Vespers at St. Vincent Archabbey, Latrobe PA

Ringing of the bells

Opening Versicles:
O God come to my assistance
O Lord make haste to help me
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end, Amen. Alleluia.

Hymn: O Savior of Eternal Love?? (Can’t tell)

Ending:
Merciful Father hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord your Son
Who with the spirit we adore,
Who reigns with you forever more
Amen.

Our Father
Our Father,
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.

Collect
O mighty and everliving God,
Strengthen our faithfulness and love
May we do with loving hearts what you ask of us
And come to share the life that you promised
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your son
Who lives with you and the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever. Amen.

Salve Regina
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

English
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this land of exile.

Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last
and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
