9th Matins

Psalm 131

1 God, I’m not trying to rule the roost,
    I don’t want to be king of the mountain.
I haven’t meddled where I have no business
    or fantasized grandiose plans.

2 I’ve kept my feet on the ground,
    I’ve cultivated a quiet heart.
Like a baby content in its mother’s arms,
    my soul is a baby content.

3 Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope.
    Hope now; hope always!

Collect

Jesus of Nazareth,
you went from village to village day by day
to proclaim the kingdom;
and so did Chad your humble, saintly follower;
and so may we, wherever we go.
Amen.

Prayer

Our Father,
hallowed be your name
on earth as in heaven.
Support us, Lord, all the day long,
until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes,
the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over,
and our work done;
then Lord, in your mercy, give us safe lodging,
a holy rest and peace at the last.
Amen

The Blessing

May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.
Amen
