Saint of the day · August 6
Transfiguration — Feast
Psalm of the day: Psalm 20
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May Yahweh answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,
2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,
3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. Selah.
4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.
5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Yahweh grant all your requests.
6 Now I know that Yahweh saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.
8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.
9 Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!
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.
