Latin text Audi benigne conditor Nostras preces cum fletibus In hoc sacro jejunio Fusas quatragenario Scrutator alme cordium Infirma tu scis virium Ad te reversis exhibe Remissionis gratiam. Multum quidem peccavimus Poenasque comparavimus Sed cuncta qui solus potes Confer medelam languidis Sic corpus extra conferi Dona per abstinentiam Jejunet ut mens sobria A labe prorsus criminum.

English translation Hear, O loving Creator, our prayers poured forth with tears in this sacred forty-day fast. Loving searcher of hearts, thou knowest the weakess of our powers: grant us, who have turned back to thee, the grace of pardon. Much, indeed, have we sinned, but spare those who confess: for the glory of thy name, grant a remedy to the weak. Let the body be outwardly humbled through abstinence; let the mind also fast entirely from falling into sin. Grant, O blessed Trinity and single Unity, that the rewards of fasting may be profitable to thy servants. Translation by St Ann choir
