Psalm of the day: Psalm 129
1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
Prayer of the day: Morning Offering
I offer you my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day,
in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world,
in reparation for my sins,
for the intentions of all my associates
and for the intentions of the Holy Father this month.
Amen.
