The Parce Domine is based on a passage from the book of Joel, and has its origins as a chant as early as the 6th century.

Today Thomas is joined by a special guest host. We hope she's willing to come back and join us again!

1. Let us appease His wrath, Beg for mercy from our Judge; Cry to Him in supplication, Let us all prostrate and say:

2. By our sins we have offended against your mercy, O God Pour forth from above O pardoning One, your forgiveness

3. Having given us this acceptable time, grant that in the water of our tears we may purify our heart and that it may become a joyful sacrifice offered out of love.

4. O Merciful Creator, hear our prayers with our weeping in this holy time of forty day fasting.
