153. In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem

In monte Oliveti oravit ad Patrem:

Pater, si fieri potest, transeat a me calix iste.

Spiritus quidem promptus est

Caro autem infirma:

Fiat volutas tua.

Vigilate, et orate, orate,

ut non intretis, intretis, intentationem.

After the Preface (with responses in ferial form, as at Requiem, see No.

259 (8)) the choir sings the Sanctus and Benedictus.
