May God bless us!
May God, our God, bless us!
Then all the ends of/the earth
will give him the honor he de-serves.

May God show us his favor and bless us!
May he smile up-on us!
Then those living on earth will know what you are like;
all na-tions will know how you de-liver your peo-ple.

Let foreign-ers re-joice and cel-e-brate!
For you exe-cute jus-tice a-mong the na-tions,
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Psalm 119:97-120

O how I love your law!
All day long I medi-tate on it.
Your com-mand-ments make me wis-er than my ene-mies,
for I am al-ways a-ware of them.

I have more in-sight than all my teach-ers,
for I medi-tate on your rules.
I am more dis-cerning than those older than I,
for I ob-serve your pre-cepts.

I stay a-way from eve-ry evil path,
so that I might keep your in-struc-tions.
I do not turn a-side
from your reg-u-la-tions,

for you are my teach-er.
Your words are sweeter in my mouth than hon-ey!
Your pre-cepts give me dis-cern-ment.
Therefore I hate all de-ceitful ac-tions.

Your word is a lamp to walk by,
and a light to il-lumine my path.
I have vowed and solemn-ly sworn
to keep your just reg-u-la-tions.

I am suffer-ing terri-bly.
O Lord, re-vive me with your word!
O Lord, please ac-cept the free-will offer-ings of my praise!
Teach me your reg-u-la-tions!

My life is in con-tin-ual dan-ger,
but I do not for-get your law.
The wicked lay a trap for me,
but I do/not wander from your pre-cepts.

I claim your rules as my perma-nent pos-ses-sion,
for they give me great joy.
I am de-ter-mined to o-bey your statutes at all times,
yes, _ even to/the very end.

I hate people with di-vided loyal-ty, but I love your law.
You are my hid-ing place and my shield.
I find hope in your word.
Turn a-way from me, you evil men,

so that I can ob-serve the com-mands of/my God.
Sus-tain me as you prom-ised, so that I will live.
Do not disap-point me!
Sup-port me, so that I will be de-livered.

Then I will fo-cus on your statutes con-tin-ual-ly.
You de-spise all who stray from your stat-utes,
for they are de-ceptive and un-re-lia-ble.
You re-move all the wicked of/the earth like slag.

There-fore I love your rules.
My body trem-bles be-cause I fear you;
I am a-fraid of your judg-ment.
Sup-port me, so that I will be de-livered.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Readings

A reading from Luke 22:31-38

“Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” But Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!” Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me.”

Then Jesus said to them, “When I sent you out with no money bag, or traveler’s bag, or sandals, you didn’t lack anything, did you?” They replied, “Nothing.” He said to them, “But now, the one who has a money bag must take it, and likewise a traveler’s bag too. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was counted with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me is being fulfilled.” So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” Then he told them, “It is enough.”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Saturday - Our Father

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord be with you.
And al-so with _ you.
Our Fath-er in heav-en,
hal-low-ed be your Name.

Your king-dom come,
your will be done on earth
as it is in heav-en.
Give us to-day our dai-ly bread.

For-give us our sins
as we _ for-give those
who sin a-gainst us.
Save us from/the time of tri-al,

De-liver us from e-vil.
For the king-dom, the pow-er,
and the glory are yours,
now and for-ever A-men.

Blessed Savior, at this hour you hung upon the cross, stretching out your loving arms: Grant that all the peoples of the earth may look to you and be saved; for your tender mercies' sake.

Amen.

A Collect for Saturdays

Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Mission

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen.
