Saint Agatha, Virgin and Martyr — Memorial
Psalm of the day: Psalm 96
1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
2 Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4 For Yahweh is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12 Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13 before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
Prayer of the day: Night prayer
for life, for health, for bread and for the people I love.
Forgive what I did wrong and the good I failed to do.
Keep my home, my family and all who suffer safe this night.
Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
Visit this house, O Lord, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy;
let your holy angels dwell here to keep us in peace,
and may your blessing be always upon us.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
