This prayer is offered in two recordings: one by a woman, one by a man. Choose the voice that best leads you to prayer, or return later to hear the same words anew. 

As we continue our journey through Lent with simple prayers; there’s no music, no content calendar, just daily rest-stops in the desert. Thank you for praying with me.

Every Sunday, the Church traditions invite us to reflect on the Resurrection and the Holy Trinity. Let’s take a moment to listen to this serene reading of the Te Deum, read by James in its new USCCB 2020 version, with gentle piano background music.

⁠Te Deum ⁠

O God, we praise you; O Lord, we acclaim you.

Eternal Father, all the earth reveres you. All the angels, the heavens and the Powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim cry out to you in endless praise: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are filled with the majesty of your glory.

The glorious choir of Apostles sings to you, the noble company of prophets praises you, the white-robed army of martyrs glorifies you, Holy Church throughout the earth proclaims you, Father of boundless majesty, with your true and only Son, worthy of adoration, and the Holy Spirit, Paraclete.

You, O Christ, are the King of glory, you are the Father's everlasting Son; when you resolved to save the human race, you did not spurn the Virgin's womb; you overcame the sting of death and opened wide the Kingdom of Heaven to those who put their faith in you. You are seated at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father. We believe you are the Judge who is to come. And so we beg you, help your servants, redeemed by your most precious blood. Number them among your saints in eternal glory.

Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance. Shepherd them and raise them to eternal life. Day by day, we bless you and praise your name for endless ages evermore. Be gracious, Lord, on this day, and keep us from all sin. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy. May your mercy be upon us, Lord, as we place our trust in you. In you, O Lord, I rest my hope: let me never be put to shame.

Amen.
