Open, O Lord, my mouth to bless thy holy Name; cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding and inflame my will; that I may be able to recite this Office worthily, attentively and devotedly, and may deserve to be heard in the presence of Thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

O, Lord, in union with that divine intention, wherewith Thou Thyself didst praise God whilst still on earth, I offer these Hours (or this Hour) unto Thee.

Our Father...

Hail Mary...
