Oratio
Ante Studiis
Incipiamus! Levate! Oremus!
Pater noster, qui es in
caelis
Sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum;
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in
caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da
nobis hodie,
Et dimitte nobis debitis
nostris
Sicut et nos dimittibus
debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in
tentatione.
Sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.
