From Easter to Whitsunday inclusively, instead of the foregoing, the following Anthem is sung and Alleluias are added to the V. Ostende nobis, and its R. Et salutare, &c.

A Preparatory Prayer before Mass. PROSTRATE in spirit at the foot of thy holy altar, I adore thee, O almighty God! and firmly believe that the Mass, at which I am going to assist, is the sacrifice of the body and blood of thy Son, Christ Jesus. O grant that I may assist thereat with the attention, respect, and awe due to such august mysteries; and that by the merits of the Victim there offered for me, I myself may become an agreeable sacrifice to thee, who livest and reignest with the same Son and Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.

This Psalm is omitted in Masses for the Dead, and of Passion

R. Quia tu es, Deus, fortitudo mea, quare me repulisti? Et quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?

P. Emitte lucem tuam, et veritatem tuam: ipsa me deduxerunt, et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernacula tua.

R. Et introibo ad altare Dei; ad Deum qui lætificat juventu

tem meam.

P. Confitebor tibi in citharâ, Deus, Deus meus: quare tristis es, anima mea, et quare conturbas me?

R. Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultûs mei, et Deus

meus.

R. For thou art God my strength; why hast thou cast me off? And why do I go sorrowful, whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

P. Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

R. And I will go in to the altar of God; to God who giveth joy to my youth.

P. To thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the harp; why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou disquiet me?

R. Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
