ORDINARY TIME-Tuesday
Morning 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 man whose deeds are blameless and whose heart is pure will climb the mountain of the Lord.
The
Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world and all its peoples. It
is he who set it on the seas; on the waters he made it firm.
Who
shall climb the mountain of the Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place?
The
man with clean hands and pure heart, who desires not worthless things,
who
has not sworn so as to deceive his neighbor.
He
shall receive blessings from the Lord and reward from the God who saves
him. Such are the men who seek him, seek the face of the God of Jacob.
O
gates, lift high your heads; grow higher, ancient doors. Let him enter,
the king of glory!
Who
is the king of glory? The Lord, the mighty, the valiant, the Lord, the
valiant in war.
O
gates, lift high your heads; grow higher, ancient doors. Let him enter,
the king of glory!
Who is he, the king of glory? He, the Lord of armies, he is the king of glory.
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.
Praise the eternal King in all your deeds.
OT Testament Canticle
Blessed
be God who lives forever, because his kingdom lasts for all ages.
For
he scourges and then has mercy; he casts down to the depths of the nether world, and he
brings up from the great abyss. No one can escape his hand.
Praise
him, you Israelites, before the Gentiles, for though he has scattered you
among them, he has shown you his greatness even there.
Exalt
him before every living being, because he is the Lord our God, our Father
and God forever.
He
scourged you for your iniquities, but will again have mercy on you all. He
will gather you from all the Gentiles among whom you have been scattered.
When
you turn back to him with all your heart, to do what is right before him,
then he will turn back to you, and no longer hide his face from you.
So
now consider what he has done for you, and praise him with full voice.
Bless the Lord of righteousness, and exalt the King of the ages.
In
the land of my exile I praise him, and show his power and majesty to a
sinful nation. “Turn
back, you sinners! do the right before him: perhaps he may look with favor
upon you and show you mercy.
“As for me, I exalt my God, and my spirit rejoices in the King of heaven. Let all men speak of his majesty, and sing his praises in Jerusalem.”
The loyal heart must praise the Lord.
Ring
out your joy to the Lord, 0 you just; for praise is fitting for loyal
hearts.
Give
thanks to the Lord upon the harp, with a ten-stringed lute sing him songs.
O sing him a song that is new, play loudly, with all your skill.
For
the word of the Lord is faithful and all his works to be trusted. The Lord
loves justice and right and fills the earth with his love.
By
his word the heavens were made, by the breath of his mouth all the stars.
He collects the waves of the ocean; he stores up the depths of the sea.
Let
all the earth fear the Lord, all who live in the world revere him. He
spoke; and it came to be. He commanded; it sprang into being.
He
frustrates the designs of the nations, he defeats the plans of the
peoples. His own designs shall stand for ever, the plans of his heart from
age to age.
They
are happy, whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as his own.
From the heavens the Lord looks forth, he sees all the children of men.
From the place where he dwells he gazes on all the dwellers on the earth, he who shapes the hearts of them all and considers all their deeds.
A
king is not saved by his army, nor
a warrior preserved by his strength. A vain hope for safety is the
horse; despite
its power it cannot save.
The
Lord looks on those who revere him, on those who hope in his love, to
rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine.
Our
soul is waiting for the Lord. The
Lord is our help and our shield. In him do our hearts find joy. We
trust in his holy name.
May your love be upon us, 0 Lord, as we place all our hope in you.
You know the time in which we are living. It is now the hour for you to wake from sleep, for our salvation is closer than when we first accepted the faith. The night is far spent; the day draws near. Let us cast off deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us live honorably as in daylight; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual excess and lust, not in quarreling and jealousy. Rather, put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
My
God stands by me, all my trust is in him.
My
God stands by me, all my trust is in him.
I
find my refuge in him, and I am truly free;
all my trust is in him.
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.
My God stands by me, all my trust is in him.
God has raised up for us a mighty Savior, as he promised through the words of his holy prophets.
Zechariah's Canticle
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship him without fear, holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give his people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
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.
Beloved
brothers and sisters, we share a heavenly calling under Christ, our high
priest.
Let
us praise him with shouts of joy:
Lord, our God and our Savior.
Almighty
King, through baptism you conferred on us a royal priesthood,
inspire
us to offer you a continual sacrifice of praise.
Help
us to keep your commandments,
that
through the power of the Holy Spirit we may live in you and you in us.
Give
us your eternal wisdom,
to
be with us today and to guide us.
May our companions today be free of sorrow, and filled with joy.
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
God
our Father, hear our morning prayer and
let the radiance of your love scatter the gloom of our hearts.
The light of heaven’s love has restored us to life: free us from the desires that belong to darkness.
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.
