The Comunion motet for this coming Sunday is Cristóbal de Morales, Peccantem me quotidie.
Fra Angelico, Penitent St. Jerome. Princeton University, c.1424
Peccantem me quotidie
et non penitentem,
Timor mortis conturbat me.
et non penitentem,
Timor mortis conturbat me.
I sin every day
and am not penitent;
the fear of death upsets me:
Quia in inferno nulla est redemptio.
Miserere mei, Deus, et salva me.
Because in hell there is no redemption.
Have mercy upon me, O God, and save me.

[Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac,
et in virtute tua libera me.
et in virtute tua libera me.
O God, save me for Thy name's sake
and deliver me in Thy strength.]
