Saint of the day · December 7
Saint Ambrose, Bishop and Doctor — Memorial
Psalm of the day: Psalm 131
1 A Song of Ascents. By David. Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.
2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.
Prayer of the day: Prayer for the Sick (Traditional)
Lord Jesus Christ, who went about doing good and healing the sick, we implore You for all who suffer.
Look with kindness upon our sick brothers and sisters, that through Your mercy, they may find relief in their pains and comfort in their sufferings.
Strengthen them in faith and hope, that they may patiently endure their infirmities and offer You their sufferings for the salvation of the world.
Grant them, if it be Your holy will, health of body and soul, that they may praise You and serve You with renewed vigor.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady, Health of the Sick, and all the saints.
You who live and reign with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
