Psalm of the day: Psalm 87
1 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah.
4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”
5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.
6 Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.
7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint George
Firearms will not reach my body, knives and spears will break without reaching my body, ropes and chains will break without tying my body.
Jesus Christ, protect me and defend me with the power of your holy and divine grace, Virgin of Nazareth, cover me with your sacred and divine mantle, protecting me in all my pains and afflictions, and God, with your divine mercy and great power, defend me and free me from evil and persecutions from enemies.
Glorious Saint George, in the name of God, extend your shield and your powerful weapons to me, defending me with your strength and your greatness, and may under the hooves of your faithful horse my enemies be humble and submissive to you.
So be it with the power of God, of Jesus and of the phalanx of the Divine Holy Spirit. Amen.
