Daily Prayer
Memorial of Brigid of Ireland
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Dawn finds me ready to welcome you, O God.
Lead me in the way of integrity.
Canticle: Habakkuk 3:16-19
I have heard of the great tribulations.
My body trembles;
my lips quiver.
Decay invades my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
I await the day of distress
that will dawn on the people who attack us.
Though the fig tree blossom not
nor fruit be on the vines,
though the yield of the olive fail
and the fields produce no nourishment,
though the flocks disappear from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
yet will I rejoice and exult in God
who alone is my strength,
who makes my feet swift as those of hinds
and enables me to go upon the heights,
singing psalms of praise.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
