A Reading
|
|
Jesus said: “But I say this to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to
those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you
badly. To anyone who slaps you on one cheek, present the other cheek as well;
to anyone who takes your cloak from you, do not refuse your tunic. Give to
everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your property back from someone
who takes it.” |
Luke 6:27–30

The Refrain

The LORD executes righteousness* and judgment for all who are oppressed. |

The Morning Psalm
|
My Merciful God Comes to Meet Me
|
Rouse yourself, come to my side, and see;* for you, LORD God of hosts, are Israel’s
God.
Awake, and punish all the ungodly;* show no mercy to those who are faithless
and evil.
They go to and fro in the evening;* they snarl like dogs and run about the city.
Behold, they boast with their mouths, and taunts are on their lips;* “For who,”
they say, “will hear us?”
But you, O LORD, you laugh at them;* you laugh all the ungodly to scorn.
My eyes are fixed on you, O my Strength;* for you, O God, are my stronghold.
My merciful God comes to meet me* . . . |
Psalm 59:5–11
|
The Refrain

The LORD executes righteousness* and judgment for all who are oppressed. |

The Lord’s Prayer

|
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

Give us grace, O Lord, to answer readily the call of our Savior Jesus Christ and

with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.† |
|
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.† |
