"‘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 Thursday, August 16


Morning Prayer (Lauds)


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

Then, the Invitatory Psalm:

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

O Lord, open my lips.

And my mouth will proclaim your praise.

Come, let us worship the Lord, for he is our God.

Come let us praise the Lord with joy:
let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

Come, let us worship the Lord, for he is our God.

For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
For in his hand are all the ends of the earth:
and the heights of the mountains are his.
For the sea is his, and he made it:
and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us worship the Lord, for he is our God.

Come let us adore and fall down:
and weep before the Lord that made us.
For he is the Lord our God:
and we are the people of his pasture
and the sheep of his hand.

Come, let us worship the Lord, for he is our God.

Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness:
where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

Come, let us worship the Lord, for he is our God.

Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said:
These always err in heart.
And these men have not known my ways:
so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Come, let us worship the Lord, for he is our 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 86 (87)


Jerusalem, mother of all nations


The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:
The Lord loveth the gates of Sion
above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me.
Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her?
and the Highest himself hath founded her.

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes,
of them that have been in her.
The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

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


Isaiah 40


The good shepherd is God, the Most High


Behold the Lord God shall come with strength, and his arm shall rule:
Behold his reward is with him and his work is before him.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather together the lambs with his arm, and shall take them up in his bosom,
and he himself shall carry them that are with young.

Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and weighed the heavens with his palm?
who hath poised with three fingers the bulk of the earth,
and weighed the mountains in scales,
and the hills in a balance?
Who hath forwarded the spirit of the Lord?
or who hath been his counsellor, and hath taught him?

With whom hath he consulted, and who hath instructed him,
and taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and shewed him the way of understanding?

Behold the Gentiles are as a drop of a bucket,
and are counted as the smallest grain of a balance:
behold the islands are as a little dust.
And Libanus shall not be enough to burn,
nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
All nations are before him as if they had no being at all,
and are counted to him as nothing, and vanity.

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 98 (99)


The Lord our God is holy


The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry:
he that sitteth on the cherubims:
let the earth be moved.
The Lord is great in Sion,
and high above all people.

Let them give praise to thy great name:
for it is terrible and holy:
And the king's honour loveth judgment.
Thou hast prepared directions:
thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

Exalt ye the Lord our God,
and adore his footstool,
for it is holy.

Moses and Aaron among his priests:
and Samuel among them that call upon his name.
They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:
He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud.
They kept his testimonies,
and the commandment which he gave them.
Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God:
thou wast a merciful God to them,
and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

Exalt ye the Lord our God,
and adore at his holy mountain:
for the Lord our God is holy.

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


1 Peter 4:10 - 11


As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

Canticle


Benedictus


The Messiah and his forerunner


Make 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 give thanks to God the Father, who lovingly guides and nourishes his people. Let us cry out with joy:
    - Glory to you, Lord, for ever.
Most gentle Father, we praise you for your love:
    for the miracle of our creation and the greater miracle of our renewal.
As this day begins, fill our hearts with a desire to serve you:
    may our thoughts and our actions give you glory.
Purify our hearts from all desire for evil:
    let us always seek to do your will.
Open wide our hearts to the needs of all our brethren:
    may they not be deprived of our love.

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, shed the brightness of your light on the people living in the shadow of death:
 the light that was brought to us by the Dawn from on high,
 our Dawn, the Lord Jesus Christ.


He lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
 God for ever and ever.
Amen.

Make 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 Thursday, August 16


Compline (Night Prayer)


Make the Sign of the Cross at the words “oh 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 15 (16)


The Lord, my inheritance


My body will rest in calm and hope.

Preserve me, O Lord,
for I have put trust in thee.

I have said to the Lord,
thou art my God,
for thou hast no need of my goods.
To the saints, who are in his land,
he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
Their infirmities were multiplied:
afterwards they made haste.
I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings:
nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:
it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places:
for my inheritance is goodly to me.
I will bless the Lord,
who hath given me understanding:
moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
I set the Lord always in my sight:
for he is at my right hand,
that I be not moved.
Therefore my heart hath been glad,
and my tongue hath rejoiced:
moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
 
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life,
thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance:
at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

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.

My body will rest in calm and hope.

Reading


1 Thessalonians 5:23


And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.


Lord our God, we are tired by the work of the day. Refresh us with peaceful sleep and, forever renewed by the help you give, let us always be dedicated to you in body and mind.
Through Christ our Lord, 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.
