Vespers for Sundays and Festivals.
First recite an Our Father and a Hail Mary; and then begin with the sign of the Cross, thus:
V. Incline unto my
aid, God.
R. Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Before and after each Psalm is sung an Antiphon, which varies according to the Festivals.
Antiphon. The Lord said:
Psalm cix. Dixit Dominus.
The Lord said to my
Lord: Sit' Thou at my right
hand, until I make Thy
enemies Thy footstool.
The Lord will send forth
the sceptre of Thy power
out of Sion: rule Thou in
the midst of Thy enemies.
With Thee is the principality in the day of Thy
strength, in the brightness
of Thy saints: from the
womb before the day-star
I begot Thee.
