Flp 2, 12b-15a    Trabajad por vuestra salvación con respeto y seriedad. Porque es Dios el que obra en vosotros haciendo que queráis y obréis movidos por lo que a él le agrada. Hacedlo todo sin murmuraciones ni discusiones, a fin de que seáis irreprensibles y sencillos, hijos de Dios sin mancha.

Salmo 66 

QUE TODOS LOS PUEBLOS ALABEN AL SEÑOR.

Wednesday Lauds Morning Prayer 2nd Week Lent Season

Deuteronomy 7:6,8-9    It is you that the Lord our God has chosen to be his very own people out of all the peoples on the earth. It was for love of you and to keep the oath he swore to your fathers that the Lord brought you out with his mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know then that the Lord your God is God indeed, the faithful God who is true to his covenant and his graciousness for a thousand generations towards those who love him and keep his commandments.

The Lord is king, let the earth rejoice.†

The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice,

let the many islands be glad.

Clouds and dark mist surround him,

his throne is founded on law and justice.

Fire precedes him,

burning up his enemies all around.

His lightning lit up the globe;

the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains flow like wax at the sight of the Lord,

at the sight of the Lord, the earth dissolves.

The heavens proclaim his justice

and all peoples see his glory.

Let them be dismayed, who worship carved things,

who take pride in the images they make.

All his angels, worship him.

Zion heard and was glad,

the daughters of Judah rejoiced

because of your judgments, O Lord.

For you are the Lord, the Highest over all the earth,

far above all other gods.

You who love the Lord, hate evil!

The Lord protects the lives of his consecrated ones:

he will free them from the hands of sinners.

A light has arisen for the just,

and gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice, you just, in the Lord

and proclaim his holiness.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

St 2, 14. 17. 18b   Hermanos, ¿qué provecho saca uno con decir: «Yo tengo fe», si no tiene obras? ¿Podrá acaso salvarlo la fe? La fe, si no va acompañada de las obras, está muerta en su soledad. Pruébame tu fe sin obras que yo por mis obras te probaré mi fe.

Salmo 48

Tuesday Lauds Morning Prayer 2nd Week Lent Season

Joel 2:12-13    Come back to me with all your heart, fasting, weeping, mourning. Let your hearts be broken, not your garments torn, turn to the Lord your God again, for he is all tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in graciousness, and ready to relent.

Isaiah 38

Lord, come to our help all the days of our life.

I said, in the middle of my days

I am going to the gates of the underworld.

Where shall I find the remainder of my years?

I said I will not see the Lord God in the land of the living,

I will never see another of the inhabitants of the earth.

My dwelling-place is taken away, taken far away from me,

like the tent of a shepherd.

Like a weaver, he has rolled up my life

and cut it off from the loom.

From morning to night,

you have made an end of me.

I cried for help till daybreak;

like a lion, he has crushed all my bones.

From morning to night,

you have made an end of me.

I twitter like a fledgling sparrow,

make noises like a dove.

My eyes are weak

from looking upward.

But you have pulled my soul out of the pit of destruction,

you have put all my sins behind you.

For, after all, the underworld will not proclaim you,

nor death praise you;

those who go down there

do not wait in hope for your faithfulness.

It is the living, the living who will proclaim you,

as I do today.

Fathers will pass on to their children

the truth of your faithfulness.

Save me, Lord,

and to the sound of the harp, we will sing to you,

all the days of our life,

in the house of the Lord.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Rm 12, 1-2   Os exhorto, por la misericordia de Dios, a presentar vuestros cuerpos como hostia viva, santa, agradable a Dios; éste es vuestro culto razonable. Y no os ajustéis a este mundo, sino transformaos por la renovación de la mente, para que sepáis discernir lo que es la voluntad de Dios, lo bueno, lo que agrada, lo perfecto.

Salmo 44

Monday Lauds Morning Prayer 2nd Week Lent Season

Exodus 19:4-6    You yourselves have seen what I did with the Egyptians, how I carried you on eagle’s wings and brought you to myself. From this you know that now, if you obey my voice and hold fast to my covenant, you of all the nations shall be my very own for all the earth is mine. I will count you a kingdom of priests, a consecrated nation.

When can I enter and see the face of God?

Like a deer that longs for springs of water,

so my soul longs for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God:

when shall I come and stand before the face of God?

My tears are my food, by day and by night,

and everyone asks, “where is your God?”.

I remember how I went up to your glorious dwelling-place

and into the house of God:

the memory melts my soul.

The sound of joy and thanksgiving,

the crowds at the festival.

Why are you so sad, my soul,

and anxious within me?

Put your hope in the Lord, I will praise him still,

my savior and my God.

My soul is sad within me,

and so I will remember you

in the lands of Jordan and Hermon,

on the mountain of Mizar.

Deep calls to deep

in your rushing waters:

and all your torrents, all your waves

have flowed over me.

By day the Lord sends his kindness upon me;

by night his song is with me,

a prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God:

“You are my support, why have you forgotten me?

Why must I go in mourning, while the enemy persecutes me?.”

As my bones break,

my persecutors deride me,

all the time saying “where is your God?.”

Why are you so sad, my soul,

and anxious within me?

Put your hope in the Lord, I will praise him still,

my savior and my God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

1Co 9, 24-25   Los atletas que corren en el estadio corren todos, pero uno sólo consigue el premio. Corred como él, para conseguirlo. Todo atleta se impone moderación en todas sus cosas. Ellos lo hacen para alcanzar una corona que se marchita; nosotros una que no se ha de marchitar jamás.

Salmo 109

Sunday Lauds Morning Prayer 2nd Week Lent Season

Nehemiah 8:9,10    This day is sacred to the Lord your God. Do not be mournful, do not weep. For this day is sacred to our Lord. Do not be sad: the joy of the Lord is your stronghold.

The Lord’s right hand has triumphed, his right hand raised me up.

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,

and his kindness is forever.

Now let Israel say, he is good

and his kindness is forever.

Now let the house of Aaron say it too:

that his kindness is forever.

Now let all who fear the Lord say it too:

that his kindness is forever.

In my time of trial I called out to the Lord:

he listened and led me to freedom.

The Lord is with me,

I will fear nothing that man can do.

The Lord, my help, is with me,

and I shall look down upon my enemies.

It is good to seek shelter in the Lord,

better than to trust in men.

It is good to seek shelter in the Lord,

better than to trust in the leaders of men.

All the nations surrounded me,

and in the Lord’s name, I slew them.

They crowded in and besieged me,

and in the Lord’s name, I slew them.

They surrounded me like swarms of bees,

they burned like a fire of dry thorns,

and in the Lord’s name, I slew them.

They chased and pursued me, to make me fall,

and the Lord came to my help.

The Lord is my strength and my rejoicing:

he has become my savior.

A cry of joy and salvation

in the dwellings of the righteous:

“The Lord’s right hand has triumphed!

The Lord’s right hand has raised me up;

the Lord’s right hand has triumphed.”

I shall not die, but live,

and tell of the works of the Lord.

The Lord chastised me severely

but did not let me die.

Open the gates of righteousness:

I will go in and thank the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord;

it is the upright who enter here.

I will thank you, for you listened to me,

and became my savior.

The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.

It was the Lord who did this –

it is marvelous to behold.

This is the day that was made by the Lord:

let us rejoice today, and be glad.

Lord, keep me safe;

O Lord, let me prosper!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

We bless you from the house of the Lord.

The Lord is God, he shines upon us!

Arrange the procession, with close-packed branches,

up to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, I will give thanks to you;

my God, I will give you praise.

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,

and his kindness is forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

2Co 6, 1-4a   Os exhortamos a que deis pruebas de no haber recibido en vano la gracia de Dios, pues dice él en la Escritura: «En el tiempo propicio te escuché, y te ayudé en el día de salvación.» Ahora es el tiempo propicio, ahora es el día de salvación. A nadie queremos dar nunca motivo de escándalo, a fin de no hacer caer en descrédito nuestro ministerio, antes al contrario, queremos acreditarnos siempre en todo como verdaderos servidores de Dios.

Salmo 15

Saturday Lauds Morning Prayer 1st Week Lenten Season

Isaiah 1:16-18    Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean. Take your wrong-doing out of my sight. Cease to do evil. Learn to do good, search for justice, help the oppressed, be just to the orphan, plead for the widow. Come now, let us talk this over, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

My eyes watch for you before dawn.

I call on you with all my heart –

answer me, Lord.

I will obey your laws.

I call on you –

save me

so that I can keep your decrees.

At first light, I cry to you,

I put all my hope in your word.

In the night I keep watching,

pondering your sayings.

In your mercy, Lord, hear my voice;

in your justice, give me life.

My persecutors come to do me harm:

they are far from your law.

But you, Lord, are near to me,

and you are trustworthy in all your precepts.

From the beginning, I have known your decrees,

how you have made them last forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.
