Saint of the day · March 13
Friday of the 3rd week of Lent — Weekday
Psalm of the day: Psalm 48
1 A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
13 Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
Prayer of the day: Fatima Prayer (O My Jesus, forgive us…) and the Angel of Fatima's Prayer
Prayer of the Angel of Fatima:
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You. Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences by which He Himself is offended. And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.
