"‘Tonight, in the city of David, a Savior is born, 'tis Christ the Lord.'"

"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing."
-Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.

Morning and Night Prayers for Saturday, August 25


Morning Prayer (Lauds)


Begin with the Dual Prayer (Our Father and Hail Mary).

Then, the Invitatory Psalm:

Make the Sign of the Cross on the lips at the words "O Lord, open my lips."

O Lord, open my lips.

And my mouth will proclaim your praise.

Let us listen for the Lord’s voice, so that we can reach his place of rest.

May God have mercy on us, and bless us:
may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us,
and may he have mercy on us.
That we may know thy way upon earth:
thy salvation in all nations.

Let us listen for the Lord’s voice, so that we can reach his place of rest.

Let people confess to thee, O God:
let all people give praise to thee.
Let the nations be glad and rejoice:
for thou judgest the people with justice,
And directest the nations upon earth.

Let us listen for the Lord’s voice, so that we can reach his place of rest.

Let the people, O God, confess to thee:
let all the people give praise to thee:
The earth hath yielded her fruit.
May God, our God bless us,
May God bless us:
and all the ends of the earth fear him.

Let us listen for the Lord’s voice, so that we can reach his place of rest.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Psalm 91 (92)


Praise of God, the Creator


It is good to give praise to the Lord:
and to sing to thy name, O most High.
To shew forth thy mercy in the morning,
and thy truth in the night:
Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery:
with a canticle upon the harp.

For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings:
and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
O Lord, how great are thy works!
thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
The senseless man shall not know:
nor will the fool understand these things.
When the wicked shall spring up as grass:
and all the workers of iniquity shall appear:
That they may perish for ever and ever:
But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

For behold thy enemies, O Lord,
for behold thy enemies shall perish:
and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn:
and my old age in plentiful mercy.
My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies:
and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

The just shall flourish like the palm tree:
he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord
shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
They shall still increase in a fruitful old age:
and shall be well treated,
That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous,
and there is no iniquity in him.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Canticle


Ezekiel 36


The Lord will renew his people


For I will take you from among the Gentiles,
and will gather you together out of all the countries,
and will bring you into your own land.

And I will pour upon you clean water,
and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness,
and I will cleanse you from all your idols.

And I will give you a new heart,
and put a new spirit within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and will give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit in the midst of you:
and I will cause you to walk in my commandments,
and to keep my judgments, and do them.

And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers,
and you shall be my people,
and I will be your God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Psalm 8


The greatness of God, the dignity of man


O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings
thou hast perfected praise,
because of thy enemies,
that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.

For I will behold thy heavens,
the works of thy fingers:
the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
What is man that thou art mindful of him?
or the son of man that thou visitest him?

Thou hast made him a little less than the angels,
thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:
And hast set him over the works of thy hands.

Thou hast subjected all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen:
moreover the beasts also of the fields.
The birds of the air,
and the fishes of the sea,
that pass through the paths of the sea.

O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Short Reading


2 Peter 3:13 - 15


But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth. Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation.

Canticle


Benedictus


The Messiah and his forerunner


Make the Sign of the Cross at the words "Blessed be the Lord…"


Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people: And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant: As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning: Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us: To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament, The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us, That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear, In holiness and justice before him, all our days.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins: Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us: To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Prayers and Intercessions


Let us worship God, who gave the world hope and life through his Son. Let us humbly pray:
    - Lord, hear us.
Lord and Father of all, you have brought us through the night to this new day:
    make us live with Christ, to your greater glory.
You have infused faith, hope and love into our hearts:
    may they remain there always.
Lord, may our eyes always be raised to you,
    so that when you call, we may respond at once.
Keep us clear of the snares and lures of evil:
    guide our steps far from transgression.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,
 hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
 thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
 and forgive us our trespasses
 as we forgive those that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
 but deliver us from evil.

Almighty and eternal God, you are true light and never-ending day.
 As morning comes round once more,
 may the glory of your coming shatter the night of sin
 and fill our minds with light.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
 who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
 God for ever and ever.
Amen.

Make the Sign of the Cross at the words "May the Lord bless us…"


May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.

Re: Morning and Night Prayers for Saturday, August 25


Compline (Night Prayer)


Make the Sign of the Cross at the words “O God…”.

O God, come to my aid.
O Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen. Alleluia.

This is an excellent moment for an examination of conscience.

Penitential Rite


I confess to almighty God,
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have sinned through my own fault,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do;
and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord, our God.

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen.

Psalm 4


Thanksgiving


Take pity on me, Lord, and listen to my prayer.

When I called upon him,
the God of my justice heard me:
when I was in distress,
thou hast enlarged me.
Have mercy on me:
and hear my prayer.

O ye sons of men,
how long will you be dull of heart?
why do you love vanity,
and seek after lying?
Know ye also
that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful:
the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

Be angry, and sin not:
the things you say in your hearts,
be sorry for them upon your beds.
Offer up the sacrifice of justice,
and trust in the Lord:

Many say,
Who sheweth us good things?
The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us:
thou hast given gladness in my heart.
By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil,
they are multiplied.
In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Take pity on me, Lord, and listen to my prayer.

Psalm 133 (134)


Evening prayer in the Temple


Bless the Lord through the night.

Behold now bless ye the Lord,
all ye servants of the Lord:
Who stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
In the nights lift up your hands to the holy places,
and bless ye the Lord.

May the Lord out of Sion bless thee,
he that made heaven and earth.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Bless the Lord through the night.

Reading


Deuteronomy 6:4-7


Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength. And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart: And thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house, and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising.

Short Responsory


Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
    - Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
You have redeemed us, Lord, God of faithfulness.
    - Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
    - Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.

Canticle


Nunc Dimittis


Keep us safe, Lord, while we are awake, and guard us as we sleep, so that we can keep watch with Christ and rest in peace.

Make the Sign of the Cross at the words “now thou dost…”.

Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
 as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
 world without end.
Amen.

Keep us safe, Lord, while we are awake, and guard us as we sleep, so that we can keep watch with Christ and rest in peace.

Prayer


Let us pray.


Come to us, Lord, this night, and give us the strength to rise at dawn rejoicing in the resurrection of your Anointed, who lives and reigns for ever and ever, Amen.

May the almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.

Final Antiphon

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
Our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve,
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us,
And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

End with the Triple Prayer: Our Father, Hail Mary, and Apostles Creed.
