15th 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

Blessed are you, God of strength and patience;
yours is the love our mothers showed us,
yours the care we need;
as we learn to care for one another
and to share your love,
may it be with our mother we share it
first of all.
Amen.

Our Father in heaven,

and courage tomorrow to go wherever you lead.
Amen.
