You have covered yourself in a cloud so that prayer cannot pass through. 45 You have made us scum and refuse in the midst of the nations. 46 All our enemies have opened their mouth against us. 47 Fear and a pit have come upon us, desolation and destruction. 48 Channels of water run down my eyes because of the destruction of the daughter of my people. 49 My eyes have poured down unceasingly…
+ DAILY PRAYER +
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 116:12-19
Psa 116:12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
Psa 116:13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,
Psa 116:14 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Psa 116:16 O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant,
the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.
Psa 116:17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:18 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
Psa 116:19 in the courts of the house of the LORD,
in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
Reading for Thursday November 13th Lamentations 3:44-55
44 You have covered yourself in a cloud
?so that prayer cannot pass through?.
45 You have made us scum and refuse
in the midst of the nations.
46 All our enemies
have opened their mouth against us.
47 Fear and a pit have come upon us,
desolation and destruction.
48 Channels of water run down my eyes
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 My eyes have poured down unceasingly
without respite,
50 until Yahweh looks down
and sees from heaven.
51 My eyes inflict my soul
because of all the daughters of my city.
52 My enemies hunt me without cause,
like a bird.
53 ?They have silenced me in a pit?,
they have thrown a stone at me.
54 Water has flown over my head,
I said, “I am cut off.”
55 I have called your name, O Yahweh,
from the depths of the pit.

O Lord, in this wondrous Sacrament You have left us a remembrance of Your passion. Grant that we may so receive the sacred mystery of Your body and blood that the fruits of Your redemption may continually be manifest in us; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Concluding Prayer
Heavenly Father, send Your Holy Spirit into our hearts to direct and rule us to do Your will, to comfort us in all our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into all truth; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
