MatinsPsalm 138
- I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise; - I bow down towards your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness;
for you have exalted your name and your word
above everything. - On the day I called, you answered me,
you increased my strength of soul. - All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth. - They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord. - For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly;
but the haughty he perceives from far away. - Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
and your right hand delivers me. - The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.

All glory to you, Jesus, for Francis,
your brave, unbending missionary to Goa and Japan,
who gave without counting the cost;
help us also to respect other people’s beliefs.
Amen.

Prayer
Our Father,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Creator of the universe, infinite and glorious,
you give us laws to save us from our folly;
give us eyes to see your plan unfolding,
your purpose emerging as the world is made;
give us courage to follow the truth
courage to go wherever you lead;
then we shall know blessings beyond our dreams;
then will your will be done.
Amen.
