In You, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In Your justice rescue me.
Have pity on me, O Lord, for I am in distress; rescue me from the clutches of my enemies and my persecutors. O Lord, let me not be put to shame, for I call upon You.
Ps 30:10, 16, 18
Miserére mihi, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor: líbera me, et éripe me de mánibus inimicórum meórum et a persequéntibus me: Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te.
Ps 30:2
In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum: in justítia tua libera me.

Graciously pour forth Your grace into our hearts, we beseech You, O Lord, that, keeping our sinful inclinations under control by self-denial, we may suffer for a brief while rather than be condemned to everlasting punishment.
Through our Lord…
Córdibus nostris, quǽsumus, Dómine, grátiam tuam benígnus infúnde: ut peccáta nostra castigatióne voluntária cohibéntes, temporáliter pótius macerémur, quam supplíciis deputémur ætérnis.

For Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows
O God, in Whose Passion the sword, according to the prophecy of blessed Simeon, pierced through the soul of Mary, the glorious Virgin and Mother, mercifully grant that we, who reverently commemorate her piercing through and her suffering, may, by the interceding glorious merits of all the saints faithfully standing by the Cross, obtain the abundant fruit of Your passion.

Lesson from Jeremiah the Prophet
Jer 17:13-18
In those days, Jeremia said: O Lord, all who forsake You shall be in disgrace; the rebels in the land shall be put to shame; they have forsaken the source of living waters, the Lord. Heal me, Lord, that I may be healed; save me, that I may be saved, for it is You whom I praise. See how they say to me, ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come to pass!’ Yet I am not troubled, following You as my shepherd; the day without remedy I have not desired. You know what passed my lips; it is present before You. Do not be my ruin, You, my refuge in the day of misfortune. Let my persecutors, not me, be confounded; let them, not me, be broken. Bring upon them the day of misfortune, crush them with repeated destruction, O Lord, our God.
Léctio Jeremíæ Prophétæ
Jer 17:13-18
In diébus illis: Dixit Jeremías: Dómine, omnes, qui te derelínquunt, confundéntur: recedéntes a te in terra scribéntur: quóniam dereliquérunt venam aquárum vivéntium Dóminum. Sana me. Dómine, et sanábor: salvum me fac, et salvus ero: quóniam laus mea tu es. Ecce, ipsi dicunt ad me: Ubi est verbum Dómini? Véniat. Et ego non sum turbátus, te pastórem sequens: et diem hóminis non desiderávi, tu scis. Quod egréssum est de lábiis meis, rectum in conspéctu tuo fuit. Non sis tu mihi formídini, spes mea tu in die afflictiónis. Confundántur, qui me persequúntur, et non confúndar ego: páveant illi, et non páveam ego. Induc super eos diem afflictiónis, et dúplici contritióne cóntere eos, Dómine, Deus noster.
Ps 34:20, 22
My enemies spoke peaceably to me: and in anger they afflicted me.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to
John 11:47-54
At that time, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together a council against Jesus, and said, What are we doing? for this man is working many signs. If we let Him alone as He is, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. But one of them, Caiphas, being high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all; nor do you reflect that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, instead of the whole nation perishing. This, however, he said not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation; and not only for the nation, but that He might gather into one the children of God who were scattered abroad. So from that day forth their plan was to put Him to death. Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but withdrew to the district near the desert, to a town called Ephrem; and there He stayed with His disciples.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joann 11:47-54
In illo témpore: Collegérunt pontífices et pharisǽi concílium advérsus Jesum, et dicébant: Quid fácimus, quia hic homo multa signa facit? Si dimíttimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum: et vénient Románi, et tollent nostrum locum et gentem. Unus autem ex ipsis, Cáiphas nómine, cum esset póntifex anni illíus, dixit eis: Vos nescítis quidquam, nec cogitátis, quia éxpedit vobis, ut unus moriátur homo pro pópulo, et non tota gens péreat. Hoc autem a semetípso non dixit: sed cum esset póntifex anni illíus, prophetávit, quod Jesus moritúrus erat pro gente, et non tantum pro gente, sed ut fílios Dei, qui erant dispérsi, congregáret in unum. Ab illo ergo die cogitavérunt, ut interfícerent eum. Jesus ergo jam non in palam ambulábat apud Judǽos: sed ábiit in regiónem juxta desértum, in civitátem, quæ dícitur Ephrem, et ibi morabátur cum discípulis suis.
Ps 118:12, 121, 42
Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes. Let not the proud oppress me; so shall I have an answer for those who reproach me.
Ps 118:12, 121, 42
Benedíctus es, Dómine, doce me justificatiónes tuas: et non tradas calumniántibus me supérbis: et respondébo exprobrántibus mihi verbum.
Grant us, O merciful God, that we may ever have the grace to serve Your altars worthily, and may we be saved by constantly partaking of the sacrifice.
Through our Lord…
Præsta nobis, miséricors Deus: ut digne tuis servíre semper altáribus mereámur; et eórum perpétua participatióne salvári.

For the Seven Sorrows
O Lord Jesus Christ, we offer You prayers and sacrificial gifts, humbly beseeching You that, as we prayerfully recall the piercing of the most sweet soul of Your blessed Mother Mary, so through the merits of Your death and the manifold intercession of her and her holy friends at the foot of the Cross, we may have our reward with the blessed.

Offérimus tibi preces et hóstias, Dómine Jesu Christe, humíliter supplicántes: ut, qui Transfixiónem dulcíssimi spíritus beátæ Maríæ, Matris tuæ, précibus recensémus; suo suorúmque sub Cruce Sanctórum consórtium multiplicáto piíssimo intervéntu, méritis mortis tuæ, méritum cum beátis habeámus:

Holy Cross
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
de Sancta Cruce
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui salútem humáni géneris in ligno Crucis constituísti: ut, unde mors oriebátur, inde vita resúrgeret: et, qui in ligno vincébat, in ligno quoque vincerétur: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Ps 26:12
Give me not up, O Lord, to the wishes of my foes; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
Ps 26:12
Ne tradíderis me, Dómine, in animas persequéntium me: quóniam insurrexérunt in me testes iníqui, et mentíta est iníquitas sibi.
May the abiding protection of the sacrament we have received, O Lord, never forsake us, and always keep us from all things harmful.
Through our Lord…
Sumpti sacrifícii, Dómine, perpetua nos tuítio non derelínquat: et nóxia semper a nobis cuncta depéllat.
Per Dominum…
For the Seven Sorrows
O Lord Jesus Christ, may the sacrifices of which we have partaken, while devoutly celebrating the piercing of Your Virgin Mother’s soul, obtain for us, through Your kindness, the good effect of salvation.
