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 time for repentance and are not able to find it.
Attend, O Lord, and have mercy; for we have sinned against you.
(Ps. 78, 9)
Help us, O God, our savior; and because of the glory of your name,
O Lord, deliver us.
Attend, O Lord, and have mercy; for we have sinned against you.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Attend, O Lord, and have mercy; for we have sinned against you.
(Esther 13; Joel 2)
ABYSSUS ABYSSUM INVOCAT / DEEP CALLS TO DEEP 
The Tract for Ash Wednesday and during Lent:
Lord, repay us not according to the sins we have committed, nor according to our wickedness. Lord remember not the iniquities of the past; may your compassion speedily help us, for we are become very poor. [kneel] Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, Lord, deliver us and pardon us our sins for your name’s sake.
The most profound of prayers.
