Psalm of the day: Psalm 33
1 Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy!
4 For Yahweh’s word is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.
6 By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint Joseph (To you, O blessed Joseph…)
Through that sacred bond of charity which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and through that paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you to look graciously upon the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and to assist us in our necessities by your power and strength.
O most provident guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; ward off from us, O most loving father, all contagion of error and corrupting influence; from your place in heaven, most powerful protector, graciously assist us in our struggle with the powers of darkness; and as once you saved the Child Jesus from mortal danger, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us with your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your help, we may be able to live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting happiness in heaven. Amen.
