Psalm of the day: Psalm 127
1 A Song of Ascents. By Solomon. Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3 Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint Benedict
let not the dragon be my guide.
Begone, Satan!
Never tempt me with your vanities.
What you offer me is evil;
drink the poison yourself.
Amen.
