Daily Prayer
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Francis de Sales
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Rise up, O God, save us from distress. Fill us with your blessings.
Psalm 65
To you our praise is due in Zion, O God.
To you we fulfill our vows,
you who hear our prayer.
To you we come with our burden of sin.
Too heavy for us, our offenses,
but you wipe them away.
Blest are those whom you call
to dwell in your house.
We are filled with the blessings
of your holy temple.
With awe-inspiring deeds of justice
you answer us, O God.
You are the hope of all the earth.
You uphold the mountains with your strength.
You still the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of the waves
and the tumult of the people.
The ends of the earth stand in awe
at the sight of your wonders.
The lands of sunrise and sunset
you fill with your joy.
You care for the earth;
you fill it with riches.
The waters above the heavens
overflow to provide for grain.
You provide for the earth;
you drench its furrows;
level it, soften it with showers;
you bless its growth.
You bless the year with your bounty;
your path overflows with a fruitful harvest.
In the pastures of the wilderness
your great abundance flows.
Rejoicing clothes the hills;
the meadows are covered with flocks;
the valleys are filled with wheat.
They shout for joy;
they sing of your glory.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
