Liturgy of the Hours Vol. IV:
Christian Prayer:
Evening Prayer for Monday in Ordinary Time
God, come to my assistance.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
HYMN
O fount of light, True Light itself,
We thank you for your loving care
Though sun declines and shadows fall,
May all the faults which we deplore,
All glory, Father, be to you,
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Yours is more than mortal beauty; every word you speak is full of grace.
Psalm 45
I
My heart overflows with noble words.
You are the fairest of the children of men
O mighty one, gird your sword upon your thigh;
Take aim with your bow in your dread right hand.
Your throne, O God, shall endure for ever.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
From the ivory palace you are greeted with music.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Ant. Yours is more than mortal beauty; every word you speak is full of grace.
Ant. 2 The Bridegroom is here; go out and welcome him.
II
Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words:
And the people of Tyre shall come with gifts,
She is led to the king with her maiden companions.
Sons shall be yours in place of your fathers:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Psalm-prayer
When you took on flesh, Lord Jesus, you made a marriage of mankind with God. Help us to be faithful to your word and endure our exile bravely, until we are called to the heavenly marriage feast, to which the Virgin Mary, exemplar of your Church, has preceded us.
Ant. The Bridegroom is here; go out and welcome him.
Ant. 3 God planned in the fullness of time to restore all things in Christ.
Canticle – Ephesians 1:3-10
Praised be the God and Father
God chose us in him
He predestined us
In him and through his blood, we have been redeemed,
God has given us the wisdom
A plan to be carried out
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Ant. God planned in the fullness of time to restore all things in Christ.
READING 1 Thessalonians 2:13
You likewise know how we exhorted every one of you, as a father does his children–how we encouraged and pleaded with you to make your lives worthy of the God who calls you to his kingship and glory. That is why we thank God constantly that in receiving his message from us you took it, not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God at work within you who believe.
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
Accept my prayer, O Lord, which rises up to you.
Like burning incense in your sight,
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
CANTICLE OF MARY
Ant. For ever will my soul proclaim the greatness of the Lord.
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. For ever will my soul proclaim the greatness of the Lord.
INTERCESSIONS
Let us praise Christ, who loves, nourishes and supports his Church. With faith let us cry out to him:
Lord Jesus, grant that all men be saved,
Preserve our holy father,
Remember those who long for honest work,
Lord, be the refuge of the poor,
We commend to your care all bishops, priests and deacons who have died,
Our Father who art in heaven,
Concluding Prayer
Almighty Father,
DISMISSAL
May the Lord bless us,
