Hear my voice when I cry to you.
the raising of my hands like an evening oblation.
keep watch, O Lord, at the door of my lips!
to evil deeds with men who are sinners.
Never allow me to share in their feasting.
but let the oil of the wicked not anoint my head.
Let my prayer be ever against their malice.
then they understood that my words were kind.
so their bones were strewn at the mouth of the grave.
in you I take refuge; spare my soul!
keep me from the snares of those who do evil. Glory...
Psalm Prayer: Lord, from the rising of the sun to its setting your name is worthy of all praise. Let our prayer come like incense before you. May the lifting up of our hands be as an evening sacrifice acceptable to you, Lord our God.
Antiphon 1 Proclaim the good news among the nations: Our God will come to save us.
Antiphon 2 Know that the Lord is coming and with him all his saints; that day will dawn with a wonderful light, alleluia.
You, Lord are my refuge
What is written in this Psalm was fulfilled by our Lord's passion (Saint Hilary)
with all my voice I entreat the Lord.
I tell him all my distress
But you, O Lord, know my path.
On the way where I shall walk
they have hidden a snare to entrap me.
there is no one who takes my part.
I have no means of escape,
not one who cares for my soul.
I have said: "You are my refuge
all I have in the land of the living."
for I am in the depths of distress.
Rescue me from those who pursue me
for they are stronger than I.
and then I shall praise your name.
Around me the just will assemble
because of your goodness to me. Glory...
Psalm Prayer: Lord, we humbly ask for your goodness. May you help us to hope in you, and give us a share with your chosen ones in the land of the living.
Antiphon 2 Know that the Lord is coming and with him all his saints; that day will dawn with a wonderful light, alleluia.
Antiphon 3 The Lord will come with mighty power; all mortal eyes shall see him.
Christ, God's holy servant
Though he was in the form of God,
Jesus did not deem equality with God
something to be grasped at.
Rather, he emptied himself
and took the form of a slave,
being born in the likeness of men.
He was known to be of human estate
and it was thus that he humbled himself,
obediently accepting even death,
death on a cross!
Because of this,
God highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
above every other name,
So that at Jesus' name
every knee must bend
in the heavens, on the earth,
and under the earth,
and every tongue proclaim
to the glory of God the Father:
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! Glory...
Antiphon 3
The Lord will come with mighty power; all mortal eyes shall see him.
