Morning Prayer
The Father spoke the Word, + and there was light,
and the Spirit moved over the face of the waters.
When the Father + sent the Son for our salvation,
he was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Go and make + all nations my disciples,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Of whom are all things, + through whom are all things, in whom are all things:
to Him be glory for ever.

1 Venite, laudemus Dóminum, *
iubilemus petrae Iesu nóstro.
2 Praeoccupemus vultum eius in actione gratiárum, *
in canticis iubilemús ei.
3 Quoniam fortis et magnus Dóminus, *
et rex magnus super omnes déos.
4 In cuius manu fundamenta térrae, *

6 Venite, adoremus et cúrvemur, *
flectamus genua ante faciem Domini factoris nóstri
7 Quia ipse est Deus nóster *
et nos populus pascuae eius et grex manus éius.
8 Hodie si vocem eius audierítis. *
nolite indurare corda véstra.

Antiphon 1:
Glory to you, O Trinity co-equal, onely Deity, before the worlds began to be, and now and through eternity.
Psalm
29
Afferte Domino
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
the God of glory thunders; *
the LORD is upon the mighty waters.
the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor.
the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; *
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
and strips the forests bare.
all are crying, "Glory!"
the LORD sits enthroned as King for evermore.
the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace.
Antiphon 1
Glory to you, O Trinity co-equal, onely Deity, before the worlds began to be, and now and through eternity.

Antiphon 2
Glory and unending glory to God the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Paraclete, through ages everlasting
Antiphon 3
Let praise and glory resound from the lips of all to the Father and the Sole-begotten; and equal praise be given for ever to the Holy Spirit.
And the Lord said:
‘Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone
when the morning stars sang together
and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?
‘Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb?—
when I made the clouds its garment,
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
and prescribed bounds for it,
and set bars and doors,
and said, “Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stopped”?
Then Job answered the Lord:
‘I know that you can do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
“Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?”
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
“Hear, and I will speak;
I will question you, and you declare to me.”
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
therefore I despise myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.’
Te Deum Laudamus
You are God: we praise you;
You are the Lord; we acclaim you;
You are the eternal Father:
All creation worships you.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company of apostles praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you;
Father, of majesty unbounded,
your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory,
the eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free
you did not shun the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
bought with the price of your own blood,
and bring us with your saints
to glory everlasting.
SECOND READING
Revelation 19:4-16
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who is seated on the throne, saying,
‘Amen. Hallelujah!’
And from the throne came a voice saying,
‘Praise our God,
all you his servants,
and all who fear him,
small and great.’
Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunder-peals, crying out,
‘Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready;
to her it has been granted to be clothed
with fine linen, bright and pure’—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
And the angel said to me, ‘Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ And he said to me, ‘These are true words of God.’ Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, ‘You must not do that! I am a fellow-servant with you and your comrades who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’
Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Holy Father, send your Holy Spirit to us who know not how to pray as we ought,

Come, Holy Spirit, that we may show your fruit in our lives: charity, peace, equanimity, kindness, generosity,
- long-suffering, patience, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity.
Father all powerful, you have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts, so that we cry: Abba, Father,

Christ Jesus, you sent the Paraclete who proceeds from the Father to bear witness to you,
- enable us to be your witnesses before men.
Blessed are you, all-powerful Father, your holiness is infinite and you offer us the gift of sharing in it.

God our Father, who by sending into the world
the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification
made known to the human race your wondrous mystery,
grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith,
we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of us! Amen.
