All from Proper of Seasons: 612
Midday Prayer for Friday in the Octave of Easter, using the Current Psalmody
God, come to my assistance.
β Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
β as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.
HYMN
God of mercy God of grace
Hear our sad, repentant songs.
O restore Thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs!
Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent:
Foolish fears and fond desires,
Vain regrets for things as vain:
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain;
These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own.
Humbled at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne.

PSALMODY
Ant. He was handed over to death for our sins; he was raised to life to justify us, alleluia.
Psalm 119:25-32
IV (Daleth)
My soul lies in the dust;
by your word revive me.
I declared my ways and you answered:
teach me your statutes.
Make me grasp the way of your precepts
and I will muse on your wonders.
My soul pines away with grief;
by your word raise me up.
Keep me from the way of error
and teach me your law.
I have chosen the way of truth
with your decrees before me.
I bind myself to do your will;
Lord, do not disappoint me.
I will run the way of your commands;
you give freedom to my heart.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
β as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm 76
Thanksgiving for victory
They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven (Matthew 24:30).
I
God is made known in Judah;
in Israel his name is great.
He set up his tent in Jerusalem
and his dwelling place in Zion.
It was there he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, the armor.
You, O Lord, are resplendent,
more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
The warriors, despoiled, slept in death;
the hands of the soldiers were powerless.
At your threat, O God of Jacob,
horse and rider lay stunned.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
β as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
II
You, you alone, strike terror.
Who shall stand when your anger is roused?
You uttered your sentence from the heavens;
the earth in terror was still
when God arose to judge,
to save the humble of the earth.
Menβs anger will serve to praise you;
its survivors surround you in joy.
Make vows to your God and fulfill them.
Let all pay tribute to him who strikes terror,
who cuts short the life of princes,
who strikes terror in the kings of the earth.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
β as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. He was handed over to death for our sins; he was raised to life to justify us, alleluia.
READING Galatians 3:27-28
All of you who have been baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with him. There does not exist among you Jew or Greek, slave or freeman, male or female. All are one in Christ Jesus.
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.
This is the day the Lord has made, alleluia.
β Let us rejoice and be glad, alleluia.
CONCLUDING PRAYER
Almighty ever-living God,
who gave us the Paschal Mystery
in the covenant you established
for reconciling the human race,
so dispose our minds, we pray,
that what we celebrate by professing the faith
we may express in 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.
β Amen.
ACCLAMATION (only added when praying in community)
Let us praise the Lord.
β And give him thanks.
