Saint of the day · March 25
Annunciation — Solemnity
Psalm of the day: Psalm 132
1 A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”
8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
10 For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
17 I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
Prayer of the day: Apostles' Creed
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
