A Reading |
|
|
| Jesus taught us, saying: So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward. But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing; your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. |
| Matthew 6:24 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| Let all the earth fear the LORD;* let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him. |
|
The Morning Psalm |
|
The Just Shall Not Put Their Hands to Evil |
| Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,* which cannot be moved, but stands fast for ever. The hills stand about Jerusalem;* so does the LORD stand round about his people, from this time forth for evermore. The scepter of the wicked shall not hold sway over the land allotted to the just,* so that the just shall not put their hands to evil. |
| Psalm 125:13 |
|
The Refrain |

| 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 |
|
|
| Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in me a new and contrite heart, that I, worthily lamenting my sins and acknowledging my wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. |
|
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. |
