Psalm of the day: Psalm 134

2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!
3 May Yahweh bless you from Zion, even he who made heaven and earth.
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint Jude
O glorious apostle Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus,
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.
