Psalm of the day: Psalm 67
1 For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song. May God be merciful to us, bless us, and cause his face to shine on us. Selah.
2 That your way may be known on earth, and your salvation among all nations,
3 let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
4 Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations on earth. Selah.
5 Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you.
6 The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.
7 God will bless us. All the ends of the earth shall fear him.
Prayer of the day: Prayer to Saint Rita of Cascia (for impossible causes)
Present to God, Father of mercy and source of all consolation, my humble and confident prayer. And you, who obtained from Jesus all that you asked, do not abandon me in this difficult hour, obtaining for me the grace of which I am so much in need. Amen.
