Saint of the day · March 31
Tuesday of Holy Week — Holy Week
Psalm of the day: Psalm 24
1 A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
3 Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.
Prayer of the day: Magnificat
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel,
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
