Prayers for the Conversion of England.1

Ant. Remember not, O Lord, our offences, nor those of our parents: neither take thou vengeance of our sins.

Then is said one of the following Psalms, with its versicle and prayer, according to the day of the week.

Sunday.

From Ps. lxviii. lxx.

Save me, O God, for the waters are come in even unto my soul.

I stick fast in the mire of the deep, and there is no sure standing.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

How great troubles hast thou shewed me, many and griev ous; and yet hast thou turned again and refreshed me, and hast brought me back from the depths of the earth.

Thou hast multiplied towards me thy magnificence; and hast turned again and comforted me.

I will praise the name of God with a canticle; and I will magnify him with praise.

For God will save Sion, and the cities of Judah shall be built up.

Composed in Latin for the English College at Rome, in the year 1839, by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman.

And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance. And the seed of his servants shall possess it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Glory be, &c.

O almighty, everlasting God, who hast ordained that men shall be saved by one only true faith; look graciously upon our beloved country, which a deplorable heresy hath too long held captive under the yoke of error; dispel all darkness of ignorance, drive away all vain opinions of false doctrine, and dispose the minds of all to the reasonable obedience of the true faith, that they may return with joy into the bosom of our holy mother the Church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
