Morning Prayer for Friday in Ordinary Time
God, come to my assistance.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
HYMN
O God the lamp of heaven high
Dawn, casting up a crimson tide,
The darkness from the sky has gone
O God, O radiance wonderful,
To you, our Savior, brightest, best,
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 A humble, contrite heart, O God, you will not spurn.
Psalm 51
Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness.
My offenses truly I know them;
That you may be justified when you give sentence
Indeed you love truth in the heart;
Make me hear rejoicing and gladness,
A pure heart create for me, O God,
Give me again the joy of your help;
O rescue me, God, my helper,
For in sacrifice you take no delight,
In your goodness, show favor to Zion:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Psalm-prayer
Father, he who knew no sin was made sin for us, to save us and restore us to your friendship. Look upon our contrite heart and afflicted spirit and heal our troubled conscience, so that in the joy and strength of the Holy Spirit we may proclaim your praise and glory before all the nations.
Ant. A humble, contrite heart, O God, you will not spurn.
Ant.2 Even in your anger, Lord, you will remember compassion.
Canticle – Habakkuk 3:2-4, 13a, 15-19
O Lord, I have heard your renown,
God comes from Teman,
His splendor spreads like the light;
You tread the sea with your steeds
Decay invades my bones,
For though the fig tree blossom not
Though the flocks disappear from the fold
God, my Lord, is my strength;
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Ant. Even in your anger, Lord, you will remember compassion.
Ant. 3 O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Psalm 147
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates
He sends out his word to the earth
He hurls down hailstones like crumbs.
He makes his word known to Jacob,
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Psalm-prayer
Lord, you established peace within the borders of Jerusalem. Give the fullness of peace now to your faithful people. May peace rule us in this life and possess us in eternal life. You are about to fill us with the best of wheat: grant that what we see dimly now as in a mirror, we may come to perceive clearly in the brightness of your truth.
Ant. O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
READING Ephesians 2:13-16
Now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near through the blood of Christ. It is He who is our peace and who made the two of us one by breaking down the barrier of hostility that kept us apart. In his own flesh, He abolished the law with its commands and precepts to create in Himself one new man from us who had been two and to make peace, reconciling both of us to God in one body through His cross, which put that enmity to death.
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
The Lord, the Most High, has done good things for me. In need I shall cry out to him.
May he send his strength to rescue me.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
CANTICLE OF ZECHARIAH
Ant. Through the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us.
Luke 1:68 – 79
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
Through his holy prophets he promised of old
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;
In the tender compassion of our God
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
Ant. Through the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us.
INTERCESSIONS
Let us adore Christ who offered himself to the Father through the Holy Spirit to cleanse us from the works of death.
From your generosity we have received the beginning of this day,
You created all things, and now you provide for their growth,
With your own blood, you ratified the new and eternal covenant.
On the cross, blood and water flowed from your side,
Our Father who art in heaven,
Concluding Prayer
All-powerful Father,
DISMISSAL
May the Lord bless us,
