the Visitation of the Sick
¶ The following Service, or any part thereof, may be used at the discretion of the Minister.
¶ When any person is sick, notice shall be given thereof to the Minister of the Parish; who, coming into the sick person's presence, shall say,
PEACE be to this house, and to all that dwell in it.
¶ After which he shall say the Antiphon following, and then, according to his discretion, one of the Penitential Psalms. Antiphon. Remember not, Lord, our iniquities; Nor the iniquities of our forefathers. ¶ Then the Minister shall say,
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Minister. O Lord, save thy servant;
Answer. Who putteth his trust in thee.
Minister. Send him help from thy holy place;
Answer. And evermore mightily defend him.
Minister. Let the enemy have no advantage of him;
Answer. Nor the wicked approach to hurt him.
Minister. Be unto him, O Lord, a strong tower;
Answer. From the face of his enemy.
Minister. O Lord, hear our prayer.
Answer. And let our cry come unto thee.
Minister.
O LORD, look down from heaven, behold, visit, and relieve this thy servant. Look upon him with the eyes of thy mercy, give him comfort and sure confidence in thee, defend him in all danger, and keep him in perpetual peace and safety; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
