Daily Prayer
Death of Benedicta Riepp, OSB
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
God is a lamp for my steps. I will not falter in the darkness.
Psalm 82
God presides in the midst of rulers,
rebuking the unjust:
"How long will your injustice last?
Why do you favor the cause of the wicked?
Be fair to the weak and the orphan;
defend the afflicted and the needy.
Rescue them from the wicked."
Those without understanding
grope in the darkness,
and chaos reigns.
I said to them, "You act like gods,
but, like all people, you shall die."
Arise, O God; govern the earth,
for all nations are yours.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
