A Christmas Gift from Project
A Christmas Gift from Project Canterbury
And a lovely one it is, too. A PDF translation of the York Missal, from which the following excerpt--a confessional prayer:
I know to God full of might, And to his mother Mary maiden bright, And to all souls here, And to the father ghostly, I have sinned largely, In many serious sins, In thought, in speech and in delight, In word, in work, I deserve to be punished, And worthy I am to blame, Therefore I pray Saint Mary and all holy souls, Here in God’s name, And the priest to pray for me, That God have mercy and pity, For his manhood, Of my wretched sinfulness, And give me grace and forgiveness Of all my misdeeds.
