God, come to my assistance.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

Lord Jesus, healer of soul and body, you said: Blessed are the merciful, they will obtain mercy. Teach us to come to the aid of the needy in a spirit of brotherly love, that we in turn may be received and strengthened by you.

Ant. 2 The mighty Lord is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

The Lord of hosts is with us:
The waters of a river give joy to God’s city,
The Lord of hosts is with us:
Come, consider the works of the Lord,
The Lord of hosts is with us:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Psalm-prayer
All-powerful Father, the refuge and strength of your people, you protect in adversity and defend in prosperity those who put their trust in you. May they persevere in seeking your will and find their way to you through obedience.
Ant. The mighty Lord is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Ant. 3 All nations will come and worship before you, O Lord.
Canticle – Revelation 15:3-4

Who would dare refuse you honor,
Since you alone are holy,
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Ant. All nations will come and worship before you, O Lord.
READING Romans 15:1-6
We who are strong in faith should be patient with the scruples of those whose faith is weak; we must not be selfish. Each should please his neighbor so as to do him good by building up his spirit. Thus, in accord with Scripture, Christ did not please himself: “The reproaches they uttered against you fell on me.” Everything written before our time was written for our instruction, that we might derive hope from the lessons of patience and the words of encouragement in the Scriptures. May God, the source of all patience and encouragement, enable you to live in perfect harmony with one another according to the spirit of Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and voice you may glorify God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This longer reading is taken from the single volume Christian Prayer book, while the 4 volume Liturgy of the Hours provides an abbreviated text.
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.
RESPONSORY
Christ loved us and washed away our sins, in his own blood.
He made us a nation of kings and priests,
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
CANTICLE OF MARY
Ant. The Lord has come to the help of his servants, for he has remembered his promise of mercy.
Luke 1:46-55
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
He has mercy on those who fear him
He has shown the strength of his arm,
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
He has filled the hungry with good things,
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
Ant. The Lord has come to the help of his servants, for he has remembered his promise of mercy.
INTERCESSIONS
Blessed be God, who hears the prayers of the needy, and fills the hungry with good things. Let us pray to him in confidence:
Merciful Father, upon the cross Jesus offered you the perfect evening sacrifice,
Release those in bondage, give sight to the blind,
Clothe your faithful people in the armor of salvation,
Let your merciful presence be with us, Lord, at the hour of our death,
Lead the departed into the light of your dwelling-place,
Our Father who art in heaven,
Concluding Prayer
God our Father,
DISMISSAL
May the Lord bless us,
