6th Tuesday of Easter

Let´s Pray The Liturgy of The Hours 6th Tuesday of Easter Lauds Morning Prayer

Acts 13:30-33    God raised Jesus from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem: and it is these same companions of his who are now his witnesses before our people. We have come here to tell you the Good News. It was to our ancestors that God made the promise but it is to us, their children, that he has fulfilled it, by raising Jesus from the dead. As scripture says in the second psalm: You are my son: today I have become your father.

Isaiah 38

Lord, you have kept my soul from destruction. Alleluia.

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,

and 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.
