PER TERTIVM PRAECEPTVM

Examination on the Third Commandment

Examination on the Third Commandment: 'Remember thou keep holy the Lord's day.' This requires attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, rest from servile work, and sanctification of the day. Missing Sunday Mass without grave reason is mortal sin. The Easter duty requires annual Communion during the Easter season.

LATINE
Memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices.
Num Missam diebus Dominicis vel Festis de praecepto per culpam meam omisi?
Num ad Missam tarde adveni vel ante finem sine sufficiente ratione discessi?
Num voluntarie in Missa distractus fui, vel irreverens in ecclesia?
Num opera servilia diebus Dominicis vel Festis sine necessitate egi vel imperavi?
Num diem Dominicum quiete et sanctificatione colere omisi?
Num Sacram Communionem saltem semel in anno tempore Paschali recipere neglexi?
Domine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum;
sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur anima mea.

Have I arrived late at Mass or left early without sufficient reason?
Have I been willfully distracted during Mass, or irreverent in church?
Have I done or commanded servile work on Sundays or Holy Days without necessity?

O Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof;
but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
