Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
O God, I cry out to you in the morning; in you is the source of light and life.
Psalm 36
Evil speaks to the wicked
in the depths of their hearts.
They have no regard for God.
They so flatter themselves
that they know not their own guilt.
In their mouths are wickedness and deceit.
They turn away from wisdom.
They plot the defeat of goodness
even as they lie in their beds.
They persist in evil ways;
they cling to what is wicked.
Your love, O God, knows no bounds;
your faithfulness is forever.
From highest mountain to deepest sea
you govern all with wisdom.
How precious is your love.
All creation finds refuge
in the shelter of your wings.
You favor them with richness,
with your holy presence.
They drink from the stream of your delight.
In you is the fountain of life,
and in your light we see light.
In love sustain those who are faithful,
those who are sincere of heart.
Let the proud not crush me
nor the wicked cast me out.
Their own sinfulness destroys them;
they shall not rise again.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
