INTROIT
Antiphon: Lord, you are the strength of your people the saving refuge of your anointed one.

Save your people, Lord, bless your inheritance; feed and sustain them forever.

PENITENTIAL ACT
CONFITEOR
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
And striking their breast, they say:
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

KYRIE
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
