Psalm of the day: Psalm 148
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
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.
