Introit

Miserere mihi Domine quoniam tribulor — Psalm 31

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: deliver me out of the hands of my enemies, and from them that persecute me: let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Psalm. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.

Collect of the Day

Mercifully infuse thy grace into our hearts, we beseech thee, O Lord; that refraining from sin by voluntary chastisement, we may be rather afflicted in time, than condemned to punishment for eternity. Through our Lord, &c.

In the old missal this Friday was kept as the feast of the Seven Dolours, the feria being commemorated by this collect; the introit — shared with Saturday — is transcribed from the Saturday printing.
