ORDINARY TIME-Monday
Evening Prayer
Introduction
God, come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia.
Psalmody
The Lord looks tenderly on those who are poor.
In the Lord I have taken my refuge.
How can you say to my soul: “Fly like a bird to its mountain.
See the wicked bracing their bow;
they are fixing their arrows on the string to shoot upright men in the
dark. Foundations once destroyed, what can the just do?”
The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord, whose throne
is in heaven. His eyes look down on the world; his gaze
tests mortal men.
The Lord tests the just and the
wicked: the lover of violence he hates. He sends fire and brimstone
on the wicked; he sends a scorching wind as their lot.
The Lord is just and loves justice: the upright shall see his face.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see;
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Which were, and are, and ever more shall be.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.
Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.
When Israel
came forth from Egypt, Jacob’s
sons from an alien people, Judah became the Lord’s temple, Israel became
his kingdom.
The sea
fled at the sight: the Jordan
turned back on its course, the mountains leapt like rams and the hills
like yearling sheep.
Why was it,
sea, that you fled, that you turned back, Jordan, on your course?
Mountains, that you leapt like rams, hills, like yearling sheep?
Tremble, 0 earth, before the Lord, in the presence of the God of Jacob, who turns the rock into a pool and flint into a spring of water.
God chose us in his Son to be his adopted children.
NT Testament Canticle
Praised be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has bestowed on us in Christ every spiritual
blessing in the heavens.
God chose us in him
before the
world began to be holy and blameless in his sight.
He predestined us
to be his
adopted sons through Jesus Christ, such was his will and pleasure, that
all might praise the glorious favor he has bestowed on us in his beloved.
In him and through his blood, we have
been redeemed, and our sins forgiven, so immeasurably generous is
God’s favor to us.
God has given us the wisdom to
understand fully the mystery, the plan he was pleased to decree in Christ.
A plan to be carried out in Christ, in the fullness of time, to bring all things into one in him, in the heavens and on earth.
May you attain full knowledge of God’s will through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight. Then you will lead a life worthy of the Lord and pleasing to him in every way. You will multiply good works of every sort and grow in the knowledge of God. By the might of his glory you will be endowed with the strength needed to stand fast, even to endure joyfully whatever may come, giving thanks to the Father for having made you worthy to share the lot of the saints in light. He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.
Lord, you alone can heal me, for I
have grieved you by my sins.
Lord, you alone can heal me, for I
have grieved you by my sins.
Once more I say: O Lord, have mercy on me, for I have grieved you by my sins.
Glory
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Lord, you alone can heal me, for I have grieved you by my sins.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
Mary's Canticle
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
God has made an everlasting covenant
with his people, and he never ceases to bless them. Grateful for these
gifts, we confidently direct our prayer to him: Lord, bless your
people.
Save your people, Lord, and bless
your inheritance.
Gather into one body all who bear the
name of Christian, that the world may believe in Christ whom you have
sent.
Give our friends and our loved ones a share in divine life, let them be symbols of Christ before men.
Show your love to those who are
suffering, open their eyes to the vision of your revelation.
Be compassionate to those who have died, welcome them into the company of the faithful departed.
The Lord's Prayer
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 who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Final Prayer
Father, may this evening pledge of our service to you bring you glory and praise. For our salvation you looked with favor on the lowliness of the Virgin Mary; lead us to the fullness of the salvation you have prepared for us.
We
ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
Trinitarian Ending
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
