Psalm of the day: Psalm 95

1 Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

3 For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,

7 for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

8 Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”

Prayer of the day: Angelus

The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary...
Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary...
And the Word was made flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary...
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
