Saint Thomas the Apostle — Feast
Psalm of the day: Psalm 82
1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5 They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
Prayer of the day: Apostles' Creed
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
