Latin text

Emendemus in melius quae ignoranter peccavimus;

ne subito praeoccupati die mortis,

quaeramus spatium poenitentiae,

et invenire non possimus.

Attende, Domine, et miserere;

quia peccavimus tibi.

English translation translation by William Mahrt

Let us amend for the better in those things in which we have sinned through ignorance;

lest suddenly overtaken by the day of death,

we seek space for repentance,

and be not able to find it.

Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy:

for we have sinned against thee.

(Ps. 78:9; Distribution of Ashes, Ash Wednesday; First Sunday of Lent, Matins Responsory; cf. Esther 13, Joel 2)
