Saint of the day · March 5
Thursday of the 2nd week of Lent — Weekday
Psalm of the day: Psalm 142
1 A contemplation by David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer. I cry with my voice to Yahweh. With my voice, I ask Yahweh for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him. I tell him my troubles.
3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.
5 I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint Christopher (for drivers)
Grant me a steady hand, a watchful eye, and a prudent mind, that I may drive safely and responsibly.
Guard me from accidents, injury, and all harm, and bring me safely to my destination.
Through your intercession, may I always travel in safety and arrive in peace.
Amen.
