Saint of the day · February 5
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: Prayer for the Family
We ask You, Lord, that our family may be a sanctuary of faith, love, and peace, where Your grace may reign and where all its members may strive to please You.
Protect us from all evil, from all discord, and from all temptation. Grant us the grace to live always united in Your love, to help one another on the path of salvation, and to meet one day in the glory of Heaven. Amen.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, our family is yours!
