Dirige et
sanctificare, regere et gubernare dignare, Domine
Deus, Rex cæli et terræ, hodie corda et
corpora nostra, sensus, sermones et actus nostros

regnas in sæcula sæculorum.
Amen. |

OLord God, King of
heaven and earth, may it please Thee this day to
order and to hallow, to rule and to govern our
hearts and our bodies, our thoughts, our words and
our works, according to Thy law and in the doing of
Thy commandments, that we, being helped by Thee,
may here and hereafter worthily be saved and
delivered by Thee, O Savior of the world, who
livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen. |

Visita,
quæsumus, Domine, habitationem istam, et

Visit, we beg Thee,
O Lord, this dwelling, and drive from it all the
