Praying the Lauds - Your Daily Christian Morning Prayer

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 17, 2023 | Monday of the Second Week of Easter

"Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord." - Ps. 21

God always makes the first move. We just trust and follow his lead. It is God who initiates a relationship with us and it is He who love us first. Whatever we do as disciples, alone or as a community, it is all because of God's grace and not our own efforts. After all, the Spirit is the source of life, and the Spirit guides and inspires us. Blessed are we who have God as our Father!

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 16, 2023 | Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday)

"I shall sing forever the Lord's mercy" (Ps 89)

Today is the Sunday of Divine Mercy, the Octave Day of Easter.

From Creation, God has revealed his nature as love itself, in Sacred Scripture and most perfectly in the life, Passion, death and Resurrection of his Son, Jesus.

The Divine Mercy Sunday origin is from a revelation to Saint Faustina, a Sister of Mercy in Poland who initiated the Divine Mercy devotion. Between 1930 and 1938 Jesus requested numerous times a Feast of Divine Mercy. On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of Saint Faustina, the Vatican decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.

"Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News." - Mark 16:15

Despite their wavering faith, the disciples took Jesus' mandate to heart and carried out His message of hope and salvation to the ends of the earth with their very lives.

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 14, 2023 | Friday within the Octave of Easter

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it." - Ps 118:24

One of the most amazing things about Jesus is how patient he is with his followers. He doesn't get angry or frustrated when they don't understand his teachings or his actions. He just keeps explaining and showing them the truth, little by little, until they get it. He knows that they need time and grace to grow in faith and love.

Like a loving Father to his children, Jesus gently invites us to follow him and to discover the goodness he has for us. Are we ready to respond to His love for us?

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 13, 2023 | Thursday within the Octave of Easter

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it." - Ps 118:24

"Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, 'Peace be with you!'" The Gospel tells of an appearance of Jesus in the Cenacle on the very day of His resurrection. The newly baptized (neophytes) and all Christians with them, must live like the risen Christ, none but a heavenly life and by their manner of living proclaim their faith in Christ.(CatholicCulture.org)

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 12, 2023 | Wednesday within the Octave of Easter

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it." - Ps 118:24

The Resurrection changes everything. Little wonder that it took so long for the disciples walking to Emmaus to recognize the Risen One and to grasp what had happened to him, and to them. Amid that struggle to understand, however, the Risen Lord walks with those whose hearts burn within them, yearning for the embrace of the love that can never die again because, as suffering love, it has passed through death and has conquered.

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 11, 2023 | Tuesday within the Octave of Easter

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it." - Ps 118:24

At the tomb of the risen Savior, Mary was made an apostle: “Go to My brethren [the apostles] and say to them: I ascend to My Father and to your Father.” The liturgy lingers about the tomb today with the penitent Magdalen, to whom Christ first appeared after appearing to His mother.

Today the Lord appears to us in the Mass and calls us by name as He once called Magdalen. He called us by this name first when we were baptized. Today we should come to Communion with a longing similar to Mary’s. (CatholicCulture.org)

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 10, 2023 | Monday within the Octave of Easter

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it." - Ps 118:24

According to Moses and the prophets, Christ was to suffer all "these things and so to enter into His glory." And what was this "glory" which Christ merited by His sufferings and death? It was His resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His sitting at the right hand of the Father, the homage of all the nations. It was especially the glorification of His body which only a few days ago hung mangled and lifeless on the cross.

Today is Monday within the Octave of Easter. Every day in this Octave is another Easter. "The first eight days of the Easter season make up the octave of Easter and are celebrated as solemnities of the Lord." (GNLYC, 24)

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - April 8, 2023 | Holy Saturday

"It is accomplished; and bowing his head he gave up his spirit." - John 19:30

On Holy Saturday, the Church waits at the Lord's tomb, in prayer and fasting, meditating on his Passion and Death and on his Descent into Hell and awaiting his Resurrection.

Although we are still in mourning, there is much preparation during this day to prepare for Easter. There are no liturgies celebrated until the Easter Vigil which take place during the night, so that it begins after nightfall and ends before daybreak on the Sunday.
