Midmorning Prayer for Saturday of the 5th Week of Lent, using the Complementary Psalmody
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 for ever. Amen.
HYMN
You are my Lord and my God
and I love you
Alone and rejected, His agony begins
He accepts the chalice of dying for my sins
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus
Will you let me stay
Share a sip from your cup
Watch with you and pray
Betrayed and abandoned
Dragged into a hall
Though scourged by Roman Soldiers,
Our sins hurt you most of all
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus
Defended by so few
So much blood from your wounds
How can I comfort you
You are my Lord and my God
And I love you
The crown of the thorns
is forced upon your head
I turn to face the guilty
I see my sins instead
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus
In your suffering
In your tears, in your blood
You stand as Christ the King
Embracing your cross
You start towards Calvary
Crushed by so much evil
You turn to look at me
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus
Did I hear you call
Asking me to stay by you
To help you if you fall
You are my Lord and my God
And I love you
You are my Lord and my God
And I love you
Raised on the hilltop
It seems though all has failed
For our salvation, Jesus,
For us you were nailed
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus
I have come to stay
As you die upon your cross
Trembling you say
Love (me), why don't you love (me)
Please love (me)
Love me, I call out
Why don't you love me
I reach out
Please love me
Oh how I long for your love
Love me, I call out
Why don't you love me
I reach out these hands to you
Please love me
Oh how I long for your love
Love me, I call out
Why don't you love me
I reach out these hands to you
Please love me
Oh how I long for your love
You are my lord and my God
And I love you.
You are my lord and my God
And I love you.

PSALMODY
Ant. 1 The time of penance has come, the time to atone for our sins and to seek our salvation.
Psalm 120
Longing for peace
To the Lord in the hour of my distress
I call and he answers me.
“O Lord, save my soul from lying lips,
from the tongue of the deceitful.”
What shall he pay you in return,
O treacherous tongue?
The warrior’s arrows sharpened
and coals, red-hot, blazing.
Alas, that I abide a stranger in Meshech,
dwell among the tents of Kedar!
Long enough have I been dwelling
with those who hate peace.
I am for peace, but when I speak,
they are for fighting.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm 121
Guardian of his people
Never again will they hunger and thirst, never again know scorching heat (Revelation 7:16)
I lift up my eyes to the mountains;
from where shall come my help?
My help shall come from the Lord
who made heaven and earth.
May he never allow you to stumble!
Let him sleep not, your guard.
No, he sleeps not nor slumbers,
Israel’s guard.
The Lord is your guard and your shade;
at your right side he stands.
By day the sun shall not smite you
nor the moon in the night.
The Lord will guard you from evil,
he will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your going and coming
both now and for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm 122
The holy city, Jerusalem
You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem (Hebrews 12:22)
I rejoiced when I heard them say:
Let us go to God’s house.
And now our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city
strongly compact.
It is there that the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord.
For Israel’s law it is,
there to praise the Lord’s name.
There were set the thrones of judgment
of the house of David.
For the peace of Jerusalem pray:
“Peace be to your homes!
May peace reign in your walls,
in your palaces, peace!”
For love of my brethren and friends
I say: Peace upon you.
For love of the house of the Lord
I will ask for your good.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. The time of penance has come, the time to atone for our sins and to seek our salvation.
READING 1 John 1:8-9
If we say, “We are free of the guilt of sin,”
we deceive ourselves; the truth is not to be found in us.
But if we acknowledge our sins,
he who is just can be trusted
to forgive our sins
and cleanse us from every wrong.
Sacred Silence (indicated by a bell)
A moment to reflect and receive in our hearts the full resonance of the voice of the Holy Spirit and to unite our personal prayer more closely with the word of God and public voice of the Church.
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
— Renew in me a steadfast spirit.
CONCLUDING PRAYER
O God,
who have made all those reborn in Christ
a chosen race and a royal priesthood,
grant us, we pray,
the grace to will and to do what you command,
that the people called to eternal life
may be one in the faith of their hearts
and the homage of their deeds.
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.
ACCLAMATION (only added when praying in community)
Let us praise the Lord.
— And give him thanks.
