A Reading |
|
|
| Jesus taught the people, saying: “You have heard how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I say this to you: offer no resistance to the wicked. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; if someone wishes to go to law with you to get your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.” |
| Matthew 5:38–41 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, Lord GOD of hosts;* let not those who seek you be disgraced because of me. |
|
The Morning Psalm |
|
Your Throne, O God, Endures For Ever and Ever |
| My heart is stirring with a noble song; let me recite what I have fashioned for the king;* my tongue shall be the pen of a skilled writer. You are the fairest of men;* grace flows from your lips, because God has blessed you for ever. Strap your sword upon your thigh, O mighty warrior,* in your pride and in your majesty. Ride out and conquer in the cause of truth* and for the sake of justice. Your right hand will show you marvelous things;* your arrows are very sharp, O mighty warrior. The peoples are falling at your feet,* and the king’s enemies are losing heart. Your throne, O God, endures for ever and ever,* a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom; you love righteousness and hate iniquity. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you* with the oil of gladness above your fellows. |
| Psalm 45:1–8 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, Lord GOD of hosts;* let not those who seek you be disgraced because of me. |

The Lord’s Prayer |

|
| Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name. May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. |
|
The Prayer Appointed for the Week |
|
|
| O God, the strength of all who put their trust in you: Mercifully accept my prayers; and because in my weakness I can do nothing good without you, give me the help of your grace, that in keeping your commandments I may please you in both will and deed; through Jesus Christ my Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. † |
|
The Concluding Prayer of the Church |
|
|
| Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen. † |
