MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Psalm 122

  1. I was glad when they said to me,
    ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’
  2. Our feet are standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.
  3. Jerusalem — built as a city
    that is bound firmly together.
  4. To it the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
    as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
  5. For there the thrones for judgement were set up,
    the thrones of the house of David.
  6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    ‘May they prosper who love you.
  7. Peace be within your walls,
    and security within your towers.’
  8. For the sake of my relatives and friends
    I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
  9. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your good.

Collect

O wondrous God!
Only you could take Martin,
the simple mulatto lay brother from Peru,
and have him declared a saint,
patron of interracial justice and harmony.
Amen.
