A Reading
|
|
|
|
Jesus taught us, saying: “Be on your guard, stay awake, because you never know
when the time will come. It is like a man travelling abroad: he has gone from
his home, and left his servants in charge, each with his own work to do; and he
has told the doorkeeper to stay awake. So stay awake, because you do not
know when the master of the house is coming, evening, midnight, cockcrow of
dawn; if he comes unexpectedly, he must not find you asleep. And what I am
saying to you I say to all: Stay awake!” |
|
Mark 13:33-37
|
The Refrain
|
|
|
|
I hate those who have a divided heart,* but your law do I love. |
|
|
The Morning Psalm
|
|
He Brought Them to the Harbor They Were Bound For
|
|
Some went down to the sea in ships* and plied their trade in deep waters;
They behold the works of the LORD* and his wonder in the deep.
Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose,* which tossed high the waves of the sea.
They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths;* their hearts melted
because of their peril.
They reeled and staggered like drunkards* and were at their wits’ end.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,* and he delivered them from their
distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper* and quieted the waves of the sea.
Then they were glad because of the calm,* and he brought them to the harbor they
were bound for.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy* and the wonders he does for his
children. Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people* and praise him in the
council of the elders. |
|
Psalm 107:23-32

The Refrain

I hate those who have a divided heart,* but your law do I love. |

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. |

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this

through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
