A Reading
|
|
|
|
Jesus said: “Now I am going to the one who sent me. Not one of you asks, ‘Where
are you going?’ yet you are sad at heart because I have told you this. Still, I am
telling you the truth: it is for your own good that I am going, because unless I
go, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And
when he comes, he will show the world how wrong it was, about sin, and
about who was in the right, and about judgement: about sin: in that they refuse
to believe in me; about who was in the right: in that I am going to the Father
and you will see me no more; about judgement: in that the prince of this world
is already condemned.”
|
|
John 16:5–11
|
The Refrain

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night,* nor of the arrow that flies by day. |

The Morning Psalm
|
|
Let the Name of the LORD Be Blessed
|
|
Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD;* praise the Name of the LORD.
Let the Name of the LORD be blessed,* from this time forth for evermore.
From the rising of the sun to its going down* let the Name of the LORD be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations,* and his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God, who sits enthroned on high* but stoops to behold
the heavens and the earth?
He takes up the weak out of the dust* and lifts up the poor from the ashes.
He sets them with the princes,* with the princes of his people.
He makes the woman of a childless house* to be a joyful mother of children.
|
|

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
