*************************************

ITINERARIUM

THE SONG OF ZACHARIAS

Luc. 1. 68-79

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel * for he hath

visited and redeemed his people;

2 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, * in

the house of his servant David;

3 As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets, *

which have been since the world began;

4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and

from the hand of all that hate us.

5 To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers,

* and to remember his holy Covenant;

6 To perform the oath which he sware to our

forefather Abraham, * that he would give us;

7 That we being delivered out of the hand of our

enemies * might serve him without fear ;

8 In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the

days of our life.

9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the

Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the

Lord to prepare his ways;

10 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people *

for the remission of their sins,

11 Through the tender mercy of our God * whereby

the Day-Spring from on high hath visited us;

12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in

the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the

way of peace.

13 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to

the Holy Ghost.

14 As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall

be, * world without end. Amen.

Ant. Into the way of peace and prosperity may the

almighty and merciful Lord lead us; and may the

Angel Raphael be with us in the way, that we may come to our home again in peace, and health, and gladness,

Lord have mercy upon us.

Christ have mercy upon us.

Lord have mercy upon us.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

God hail thee Mary.

Gloria Patri.

V. O God, save thy servants.

R. That put their trust in thee.

V. O Lord, send us help, from the sanctuary.

R. And strengthen us out of Sion.

V. Be unto us, O Lord, a tower of strength.

R. From the face of the enemy.

V. Let not the enemy prevail against us.

R. Nor the son of iniquity have power to harm us.

V. Blessed be the Lord daily.

R. The God of our salvation maketh our way

prosperous.

V. Shew us, thy ways, O Lord.

R. And teach us thy paths.

V. O that our ways were directed.

R. To keep Thy precepts.

V. The crooked shall be made straight.

R. And the rough places plain.

V. God has given His Angels charge over thee.

R. That they may keep thee in all thy ways.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto thee.

V. The Lord be with you.

R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

O God, who madest the children of Israel to walk with dry feet through

the midst of the sea, and who didst open unto the three wise men, by the guiding of a Star, the way that lead unto Thee, grant to us good speed, and quietness: may thy holy Angel accompany us during our pilgrimage and in the end, may we attain the haven of eternal salvation.

O God, who didst call thy servant Abraham, out of Ur of the Chaldees, and didst keep him from evil through all the ways of his pilgrimage, we beseech Thee, that it please Thee to keep us Thy servants. Be Thou unto us, O Lord, a help when we go forward, a comfort by the way, a shadow from the heat, our covering from the rain and the cold, a chariot in weariness, when we are weary, a refuge in trouble, a staff in slippery paths, a haven in shipwreck. Do Thou lead us, that we may happily come thither where we would be, and thereafter come again safe unto our own home.

Graciously hear our supplications, O Lord, we beseech Thee, and order the goings of thy servants in the safe path that leadeth unto salvation in Thee, that amidst all the manifold changes of this life’s pilgrimage, Thy shield may never cease from us.

Grant, we beseech thee, O almighty God, that Thy family

may fare onward in the path of salvation, and by giving heed to the preaching of the blessed Fore-runner John, may safely attain unto Him whom John preached, even our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of

the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.

R. Amen.

V. Let us go on in peace.

R. In the Name and power of the Lord.

Amen.

Prayers of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the holy Family

Jesu, the Ransomer of man,

Who, ere created light began,

Didst from the sovereign Father spring,

His power and glory equaling.

The Father's Light and Splendour thou,

Their endless Hope to thee that bow:

Accept the prayers and praise today

That through the world thy servants pay.

Salvation's Author, call to mind

How, taking form of humankind,

Born of a Virgin undefiled

Thou in man's flesh becam'st a Child.

Thus testifies the present day

Through every year in long array,

That thou, salvation's source alone,

Proceedest from the Father's Throne.

Whence sky, and stars, and sea's abyss,

And earth, and all that therein is,

Shall still, with laud and carol meet,

The Author of thine Advent greet.

And we who, by thy precious Blood

From sin redeemed, are marked for God,

On this, the day that saw thy Birth,

Sing the new song of ransomed earth.

All honour, laud, and glory be,

O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;

Whom with the Father we adore,

And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Eternal King of Saints, whose Word

Called forth creation from its rest,

Before the ages thou art Lord,

In thine eternal Father's breast.

Thou, when earth's dawning sun began

To chase the chaos shades away,

In thine own Image madest man,

And didst inspire the senseless clay.

But Satan's craft and Satan's wile

Could mar that workso very good:

And Eden's wood must man beguile,

That God may reign from off the Wood.

O born of Mary's virgin womb,

First-fruits of Death's dark womb to be,

Thou bidst us waken from the tomb,

And rise to light and life with thee.

Eternal Shepherd of the sheep,

The stones lie heavy on the well;

The clear baptismal spring lies deep,

Come thou and feed thine Israel!

Redeemer of the sons of men

Thou hungest dying on the Rood,

That thou mightst pay the price again

Of our salvation in thy Blood.

Grant, Lord,in thee each faithful mind

Unceasing Paschal joy may find;

And from the death of sin set free

Souls newly born to life by thee.

All praise be thine, O risen Lord,

From death to endless life restored;

Whom with the Father we adore,

And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Eternal Monarch, King most high,

Whose blood hath brought redemption nigh,

By whom the death of Death was wrought,

And conquering grace to man was brought:

Ascending to the throne of might,

And seated at the Father's right,

All power, O Jesu, is thine own

That here thy Manhood had not known.

To thee the whole creation now

Doth in its three-fold order bow,

Of things on earth, and things on high,

And things that underneath do lie.

With awe the Angels contemplate

The wondrous change of man's estate;

Though flesh hath sinned, Flesh purged the stain,

And in that Flesh our God doth reign.

Be thou our joy, O mighty Lord,

As thou wilt be our great reward;

Earth's joys to thee are nothing worth,

Thou joy and crown of heaven and earth.

We therefore beg, dear Lord, of thee

To pardon our iniquity;

Yea, of thine own supernal grace

Uplift our hearts to seek thy face:

That when in clouds, O Judge of doom,

Thy glory shall thisearth illume,

Thou mayst remit our debt of pain,

And grant our long-lost crowns again.

All praise from every heart and tongue

To thee, ascended Lord, be sung;

Whom with the Father we adore,

And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,

Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;

Come with thy grace and heavenly aid,

And fill the hearts which thou hast made.

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,

Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;

Come with thy grace and heavenly aid,

And fill the hearts which thou hast made.

To thee, the Paraclete, we cry,

To thee, the Gift of God most high,

The Fount of life, theFire of love,

The soul's Anointing from above.

The sevenfold gifts of grace are thine,

O Finger of the Hand Divine;

True Promise of the Father thou,

Who dost the tongue with speech endow.

Thy light to every sense impart,

And shed thy love in every heart;

Thine own unfailing might supply

To strengthen our infirmity.

Drive far away our ghostly foe,

And thine abiding peace bestow;

If thou be our preventing Guide,

No evil can our steps betide.

Make thou to us the Father known,

Teach us the eternal Son to own,

Be this our neverchanging creed,

That thou dost from the Father through the Son proceed.

All praise be thine, O risen Lord,

From death to endless life restored;

Whom with the Father we adore,

And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.

O God of mercy passing thought,

Who hast the world contrived and wrought;

In might, essential Unity,

In Persons, blessed Trinity:

Uplift us with thine arm of might,

And let our hearts rise pure and bright,

And, ardent in God's praises, pay

The thanks we owe him every day.

Glory to thee, O Father, Lord,

And to thy Sole-begotten Word,

Both with the Holy Spirit One

While everlasting ages run. Amen.
