About This Book

A monthly devotional manual that assigns a particular spiritual focus to each month and provides daily considerations, prayers, and short meditations for the days of that month, together with litanies, communion prayers, sample Masses, and other devotional formulas. Subjects range from reflections on the holy infancy and the Holy Family to devotions to St. Joseph, Lenten meditations on the Passion, and recommended practices such as the Rosary and the Sacred Heart; material includes acts of consecration, novena-like sequences, and practical guidance aimed at fostering penitence, imitation of Christian virtues, and steady personal and communal prayer.

Psalm CXXIX.

De Profundis.

Out of the depths I have cried unto Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.

Let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If Thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand?

For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law I have waited for Thee, O Lord.

My soul hath relied on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

[pg 503]

From the morning watch even until night: let Israel hope in the Lord.

For with the Lord there is mercy: and with Him plentiful redemption.

And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

V. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.

R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.

V. May they rest in peace.

R. Amen.

An indulgence of fifty days can be gained thrice in the same day by all the faithful who shall devoutly recite the De Profundis, with the versicles and responses. Plenary indulgence once a year, after confession and communion.
