Psalm of the day: Psalm 70
1 For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.
2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
5 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint Jude
the name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many,
but the Church honors and invokes you universally
as the patron of hopeless cases and of things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable.
Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you,
to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of.
Come to my assistance in this great need,
that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven
in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings,
and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever.
Amen.
