Magnificat - Mary’s SongEvening Prayer Preparation

Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.

 Psalm 13 with Refrain

How long, Lord?
Will you forget me forever? 

Refrain
Lord, remember mercy,
As you spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and his offspring forever.
To me. 

How long will you hide your face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
having sorrow in my heart every day? 

Refrain
Lord, remember mercy,
As you spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and his offspring forever.
To me. 

How long shall my enemy triumph over me?
Behold, and answer me, Lord, my God.
Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”;
Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall. 

Refrain
Lord, remember mercy,
As you spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and his offspring forever.
To me. 

But I trust in your loving kindness.
My heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has been good to me. 

Refrain
Lord, remember mercy,
As you spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and his offspring forever.
To me.
We trust in your loving kindness.
Our hearts rejoices in your salvation. 

 

† Pause & Reflect The Jesus Creed

The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:
you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
This is the first commandment. 

The second is like this,
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these.” 

 Closing

My soul magnifies the Lord,
My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Amen,
Yes,
Come Lord Jesus.
