O bone et dulcis Domine Jesus,
credo firmiter et indubitanter,
quidquid sacrosancta credit ecclesia,
deprecor tuam pietatem et clementiam.
Fac me vivere et mori in tua fide.
Confiteor enim coram majestate tua
et sanctis angelis tuis, quod servus tuus sum,
et quidquid mihi accedat tuus sum fidelis.
Amen.

Pater noster, Qui [es in cælis]1,
sanctificetur nomen Tuum;
[adveniat]2 regnum tuum;
fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos [dimittimus]3 debitoribus nostris;
et ne [nos inducas]4 in tentationem;
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Ave Maria gratia plena
Dominus tecum. 
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, 
Et benedictus fructus [ventris]1 tui Jesus.
Sancta Maria, [Mater Dei]2,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
[Ave Maria]3.
