PENITENTIAL ACT All: I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I

have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Simile est regnum cælorum homini patri familias, qui exiit primo mane conducere operarios in vineam suam. Conventione autem facta cum operariis ex denarii diruno, misit eos in vineam suam. Et egressus circa horam tertiam, vidit alios stantes in foro otiosos, et dixit illis: Ite et vos in vineam meam, et quod iustum fuerit, dabo vobis.

– Matthew 20:1–4

For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And he said to them, “You go into the vineyard too, and I will give you what is just.”
