SHJIHM :: Devotions/Prayers :: Morning and Night Prayers for Tuesday, August 14 ~ Runboard
"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing." -Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.
OOT
Begin with the Dual Prayer (Our Father and Hail Mary).
Then, the Invitatory Psalm:
Make the sign of the Cross on the lips at the words "O Lord, open my lips."
O Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth will proclaim your praise.
Come, let us worship the Lord, the great King.
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof:
the world, and all they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas;
and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
Come, let us worship the Lord, the great King.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord:
or who shall stand in his holy place?
The innocent in hands, and clean of heart,
who hath not taken his soul in vain,
nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
He shall receive a blessing from the Lord,
and mercy from God his Saviour.
This is the generation of them that seek him,
of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Come, let us worship the Lord, the great King.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes,
and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates:
and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory?
the Lord who is strong and mighty:
the Lord mighty in battle.
Come, let us worship the Lord, the great King.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes,
and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates:
and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory?
the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
Come, let us worship the Lord, the great King.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Psalm 84 (85)
Our salvation is very near
Lord, thou hast blessed thy land:
thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people:
thou hast covered all their sins.
Thou hast mitigated all thy anger:
thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
Convert us, O God our saviour:
and turn off thy anger from us.
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever:
or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life:
and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy;
and grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me:
for he will speak peace unto his people:
And unto his saints:
and unto them that are converted to the heart.
Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him:
that glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth have met each other:
justice and peace have kissed.
Truth is sprung out of the earth:
and justice hath looked down from heaven.
For the Lord will give goodness:
and our earth shall yield her fruit.
Justice shall walk before him:
and shall set his steps in the way.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Canticle
Isaiah 26
Thanksgiving for victory
Sion the city of our strength a saviour,
a wall and a bulwark shall be set therein.
Open ye the gates,
and let the just nation, that keepeth the truth, enter in.
The old error is passed away:
thou wilt keep peace:
peace, because we have hoped in thee.
You have hoped in the Lord for evermore,
in the Lord God mighty for ever.
The way of the just is right,
the path of the just is right to walk in.
And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord,
we have patiently waited for thee:
thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul.
My soul hath desired thee in the night:
yea, and with my spirit within me in the morning early I will watch to thee.
When thou shalt do thy judgments on the earth,
the inhabitants of the world shall learn justice.
Lord, thou wilt give us peace:
for thou hast wrought all our works for us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Psalm 66 (67)
All peoples, praise the Lord
May God have mercy on us, and bless us:
may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us,
and may he have mercy on us.
That we may know thy way upon earth:
thy salvation in all nations.
Let people confess to thee, O God:
let all people give praise to thee.
Let the nations be glad and rejoice:
for thou judgest the people with justice,
and directest the nations upon earth.
Let the people, O God, confess to thee:
let all the people give praise to thee:
The earth hath yielded her fruit.
May God, our God bless us,
May God bless us:
and all the ends of the earth fear him.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Canticle
Benedictus
The Messiah and his forerunner
Make the Sign of the Cross at the words "Blessed be the Lord..."
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people: And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant: As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning: Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us: To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament, The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us, That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear, In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins: Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us: To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Prayers and Intercessions
Christ, by pouring out his blood, has won for himself a new people. Let us worship him and humbly ask:
- Lord, remember your people. Our King and Redeemer, listen to your Church as she sings your praises at the start of the day:
teach her to give unceasing glory to your greatness. You are our hope and our strength: we put our trust in you.
Let us never be put to shame. Take pity on our weakness. Hurry to help us,
for without you there is nothing we can do. Remember the poor and forgotten. Let this day not be a burden to them,
but a joy and a consolation.
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Almighty God, creator of a good and beautiful world,
may we joyfully set out on this day in your name,
and fill it with acts of love for you and our brethren.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Make the Sign of the Cross at the words "May the Lord bless us..."
May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.

and in what I have failed to do;
and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,

Thanksgiving
Take pity on me, Lord, and listen to my prayer.
When I called upon him,
the God of my justice heard me:
when I was in distress,
thou hast enlarged me.
Have mercy on me:
and hear my prayer.
O ye sons of men,
how long will you be dull of heart?
why do you love vanity,
and seek after lying?
Know ye also
that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful:
the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
Be angry, and sin not:
the things you say in your hearts,
be sorry for them upon your beds.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice,
and trust in the Lord:
Many say,
Who sheweth us good things?
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us:
thou hast given gladness in my heart.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil,
they are multiplied.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.

Take pity on me, Lord, and listen to my prayer.

and bless ye the Lord.
May the Lord out of Sion bless thee,
he that made heaven and earth.
