Ante Divinum officium

Aperi Domine, os meum ad benedicendum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab omnibus vanis, perversis et alienis cogitationibus; intellectum illumina, affectum inflamma, ut digne, attente ac devote hoc Officium recitare valeam, et exaudiri merear ante conspectum divinæ Majestatis tuæ. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum. R. Amen. Domine, in unione illius divinæ intentionis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvisti, hanc tibi Horam persolvo.

O Lord, open thou my mouth that I may bless thy Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding kindle my affections, that I may pray to, and praise thee with attention and devotion; and may worthily be heard before the presence of thy Divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. Lord, in union with that Divine Intention wherewith thou didst thyself praise God, whilst thou wast on earth, I offer these Hours unto thee.
