MatinsO Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Opening Sentance
Happy is the person who meditates on wisdom and reasons intelligently. . . . .Ecclesiasticus 14:20.
Christ speaks the truth in every age:
O come, let us worship.
Psalm 19:7-14
- The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul:
the instruction of the Lord is sure, and gives wisdom to the simple. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
and rejoice the heart:
the commandment of the Lord is pure
and gives light to the eyes. - The fear of the Lord is clean, and endures forever:
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous every one. - They are more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey, pure honey from the comb. - By them is your servant taught:
and for keeping them there is great reward. - Who can discern unwitting sins?
O cleanse me from my secret faults. - Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins,
lest they get the better of me:
then shall I be clean, and innocent of great offence. - Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart:
be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer.
Prayer
The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind:
( Silence may be kept)
As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.
