22nd Lauds

Good Morning Jesus

Jesus said to Mary, ‘Go to my friends and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”’ . . . .John 20:17.

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

I love you O Lord because you heard my voice;
when I made my supplication.
because you turned your ear to me;
when I called upon your name.
The cords of death entangled me,
and the grip of Sheol laid hold on me;
distress and anguish descended upon me.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord;
'Deliver me O Lord I beseech you.'
Gracious is the Lord and righteous:
truly our God is a God of compassion.
The Lord preserves the simple-hearted:
when I was brought low the Lord saved me.
Be at rest once more O my soul
for the Lord has treated you kindly.
The Lord has saved me from death;
and kept my eyes from tears
and my feet from stumbling.
so that I may walk in the presence of the Lord:
in the land of the living.

I kept my faith, even when I said,
'I am in sore distress':
in my haste I said, 'No one can be trusted.'
How can I repay you O Lord:
for all the good things you have done to me?
I will take up the cup of salvation:
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all God's people.
Grievous in the sight of the Lord:
is the death of a faithful servant.
Lord I am your servant,
the child of your maidservant:
you have freed me from my bonds.
I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving:
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all God's people.
in the courts of the Lord's house:
in your midst O Jerusalem.
O praise the Lord.
