Before reciting the collect in the Office, everyone in deacon's orders or in priesthood says Dominus vobiscum, Et cum spiritu tuo, and this is said even if the Office be said privately.

"Nay, an thou wouldst try conclusions," said Christie of the Clinthill, "I will meet thee at day-break by Saint Mary's Well." "Hardened wretch!" said Father Eustace, "art thou but this instant delivered from death, and dost thou so soon morse thoughts of slaughter?" "I will meet with thee ere it be long, thou knave," said the bailie, "and teach thee thine Oremus."

Since yesterday evening they have not fired one shot, and they were singing hymns till midnight. You may be pretty sure they'll redouble their Oremus this Christmas night, so you may sleep soundly." "Unless all this is merely a feint, and to-night ..." "Yes, you're right, unless to-night ..." The column started, and, guided by the liaison orderly, we followed the high-road for some hundred yards.

From Holy Trinity Sunday to the Saturday before Advent, the antiphon is Salve Regina with versicle, Ora pro nobis... response, Ut digni, Oremus and prayer, Omnipotens semipeterne Deus.

There is a civil marriage at the Capitol " "I should be quite satisfied with your benediction a Pater Noster, an Oremus properly said eh?

Then the roll of prayers was brought him, while the deacon began what is sometimes called the bidding prayer, being a catalogue of the various subjects for which intercession is to be made, after the manner of the Oremus dilectissimi, now used on Good Friday.

Versicles and responses are hurried over and run one into another. The words, half pronounced, without opening the mouth, which would take up too much time, terminate in unmeaning murmurs. “Oremus ps ... ps ... ps....” “Mea culpa ... pa ... pa....” Like vintagers in a hurry pressing grapes in the vat, these two paddle in the mass Latin, sending splashes in every direction.

Suffrages of the Saints. Thus were abolished the old formulae of suffrages and a new one inserted. Antiphon Beata Dei Genitrix.... V. Mitificavit .... R. Et exaudivit.... Oremus, A cunctis.... In Paschal time the Commemoration is of the Cross. In this prayer the names of the Holy Angels and of St. John the Baptist, if they be titulars, are inserted before the name of St. Joseph.
