A Reading |
|
|
| Then Peter addressed them, ‘I now really understand,’ he said, ‘that God has no favorites, but that anybody of any nationality who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. God sent his word to the people of Israel, and it was to them that the good news of peace was brought by Jesus Christ—he is the Lord of all.’ |
| Acts 10:34–36 |
|
The Refrain |
|

| “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go;* I will guide you with my eye. Do not be like horse or mule, which have no understanding;* who must be fitted with bit and bridle, or else they will not stay near you.” |
|
The Midday Psalm |
|
In the Temple of the LORD, All Are Crying, “Glory!” |
| Ascribe to the LORD, you gods,* ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name;* worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders;* the LORD is upon the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice;* the voice of the LORD is a voice of splendor. Lebanon; He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,* and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD splits the flames of fire; the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;* the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe* and strips the forests bare. And in the temple of the LORD* all are crying, “Glory!” The LORD sits enthroned above the flood;* the LORD sits enthroned as King for evermore. The LORD shall give strength to his people;* the LORD shall give his people the blessing of peace. |
| Psalm 29 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go;* I will guide you with my eye. Do not be like horse or mule, which have no understanding;* who must be fitted with bit and bridle, or else they will not stay near you.” |
