St 5, 16. 19-20   Confesaos mutuamente vuestros pecados y rogad unos por otros, para alcanzar vuestra curación, pues la oración ferviente del justo tiene gran eficacia. Hermanos, si alguno de entre vosotros se desvía de la verdad y otro logra convertirlo, sepa que quien convierte a un pecador de su camino equivocado salvará su alma de la muerte y cubrirá la multitud de sus pecados.

Salmo 40

Friday Lauds Morning Prayer 1st Week Lenten Season

Isaiah 53:11-12    By his sufferings shall my servant justify many, taking their faults on himself. Hence I will grant whole hordes for his tribute, he shall divide the spoil with the mighty, for surrendering himself to death and letting himself be taken for a sinner, while he was bearing the faults of many and praying all the time for sinners.

Lord, you will be pleased with the lawful sacrifice offered on your altar.

Take pity on me, Lord, in your mercy;

in your abundance of mercy wipe out my guilt.

Wash me ever more from my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know how guilty I am:

my sin is always before me.

Against you, you alone have I sinned,

and I have done evil in your sight.

Know this, so that you may give just sentences

and an unbiased judgment.

See, I was conceived in guilt,

in sin my mother conceived me;

but you love truth in the heart,

and deep within me, you have shown me your wisdom.

You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be made clean;

you will wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

You will make me hear the sound of joy and gladness;

the bones you have crushed will rejoice.

Turn your face away from my sins

and wipe out all my transgressions;

create a pure heart in me, God,

put a steadfast spirit into me.

Do not send me away from your presence,

or withdraw your holy spirit from me;

give me again the joy of your salvation,

and be ready to strengthen me with your spirit.

I will teach the unjust your ways,

and the impious will return to you.

Free me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, God my savior,

and my voice will glory in your justice.

Open my lips, Lord,

and my mouth will proclaim your praise;

for you do not delight in sacrifices:

if I offered you a burnt offering, it would not please you.

The true sacrifice is a broken spirit:

a contrite and humble heart, O God, you will not refuse.

Be pleased, Lord, to look kindly on Zion,

so that the walls of Jerusalem can be rebuilt,

Then indeed you will accept the proper sacrifices, gifts, and burnt offerings;

then indeed will bullock be laid upon your altar.

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 4, 7-8. 10   Vivid sometidos a Dios. Resistid al diablo y huirá de vosotros. Acercaos a Dios y él se acercará a vosotros. Pecadores, lavaos las manos; purificad vuestros corazones, gente que obráis con doblez. Humillaos en la presencia del Señor y él os ensalzará.

Salmo 31 - ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS DE UN PECADOR PERDONADO

Thursday Lauds Morning Prayer 1st Week Lenten Season

(1 Kings 8:51-53)    Lord, we are your people and your heritage. Be always watchful for the entreaty of your servant and of your people Israel, and listen to us whenever we call to you. For it was you who set us apart from all the peoples of the earth to be your own heritage.

Thus says the Lord: my people shall be filled with my good things.

All you nations, listen to the word of the Lord,

proclaim it in the farthest islands:

“He who scattered his people Israel

has brought them back together.

He will care for them as a shepherd tends his flock.”

For the Lord has redeemed Jacob

and freed him from the hand of his conqueror.

They will come and sing praises on Mount Zion,

they will flood in to receive the good things of the Lord,

grain, and wine, and oil,

and the young of both herd and flock.

Their spirit will be like a richly watered garden,

and they will hunger no more.

The young girl will dance for joy,

young men and old men too.

“I will turn their weeping into gladness,” says the Lord,

“I will comfort them and give them joy after sorrow.

I will overwhelm my priests with rich food,

and my good things will fill my people to overflowing.”

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.

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 26

Wednesday Lauds Morning Prayer 1st Week Lenten 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.

In your light, God, we see light.

Evil whispers to the sinner in the depths of his heart:

the fear of God does not stand before his eyes.

Evil’s flattering light disguises his wickedness,

so that he does not hate it.

His words are false and deceitful,

he no longer considers how to do good.

Even when in bed he plots mischief;

he follows the wrong path; he does not hate malice.

Lord, your mercy fills the heavens,

your faithfulness rises to the sky.

Your justice is like the mountains of God,

your judgments are like the deeps of the sea.

Lord, you protect both men and beasts.

How precious is your kindness, O God!

The sons of men will take shelter under your wings;

they will eat their fill from the riches of your house,

drink all they want from the stream of your joy.

For with you is the spring of life-giving water.

In your light, we shall see the true light.

Hold out your mercy to those who know you,

offer your justice to the upright in heart.

Let me not be crushed under the heels of the proud,

nor dispossessed by the hands of sinners.

The doers of evil have fallen where they stood,

they are cast down and cannot rise.

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 20, 2-8. 14

Tuesday Lauds Morning Prayer 1st Week Lenten 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.

The man with clean hands and pure heart will climb the mountain of the Lord.

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,

the world and all who live in it.

He himself founded it upon the seas

and set it firm over the waters.

Who will climb the mountain of the Lord?

Who will stand in his holy place?

The one who is innocent of wrongdoing and pure of heart,

who has not given himself to vanities or sworn falsely.

He will receive the blessing of the Lord

and be justified by God his savior.

This is the way of those who seek him,

seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Gates, raise your heads. Stand up, eternal doors,

and let the king of glory enter.

Who is the king of glory?

The Lord of might and power.

The Lord, strong in battle.

Gates, raise your heads. Stand up, eternal doors,

and let the king of glory enter.

Who is the king of glory?

The Lord of hosts

– he is the king of glory.

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 10

Let´s Pray The Liturgy of The Hours Monday Lauds Morning Prayer 1st Week Lenten 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.

It is you whom I invoke, O Lord. In the morning you hear me.

Let my words come to your ears, O Lord:

hear my sighs.

Listen to the voice of my crying,

my King and my God.

As I make my prayer to you,

Lord, listen to my voice in the morning;

in the morning I will stand before you and await you.

You are not a God who loves evil.

The wicked cannot stay near you,

the unjust cannot remain in your presence.

You hate all who do evil –

you destroy all who speak falsehood –

the Lord abominates the bloody and deceitful man.

But in the abundance of your mercy you will admit me to your house:

I will worship you in your holy temple, with fear and reverence.

Lord, guide me in your justice, protect me from my enemies:

let me see the path I must follow.

For there is no truth in their mouth – their heart is a bottomless pit –

their throat is a wide-open grave – their tongue seduces.

Punish them, Lord,

and let their own plans destroy them.

On account of their crimes, thrust them from your presence;

for they are rebels against you.

Let all who hope in you rejoice, a triumph forever.

You will shelter them and they will glory in you.

For you bless the just, O Lord,

and your goodwill surrounds them like a shield.

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.
