Daily Prayer
Memorial of Katherine Drexel
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Jesus Christ is the light of the world, a light no darkness can extinguish.
Psalm 87
On the holy mountain is the city,
cherished by God.
The Holy One prefers the gates of Zion
to all of Israel’s dwellings.
O city of God,
glorious things are told of you:
“Babylon and Egypt I will count
among those who know me;
Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia —
all these were born anew.
They will be Zion’s children.”
It is God, the Holy One,
who has established this city.
In the register of peoples it is written,
“These are Zion’s children.”
All will join in festive dance, singing,
“In you, Zion, all find a home.”
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
