Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Cast your cares upon the Holy One; place your trust in God.
Psalm 146
I praise and exalt God's name,
giving thanks all my days,
making music while I live.
Do not rely on those in power,
for they are mortal.
Take their breath, they return to dust;
all their plans come to nothing.
Happy are they who rely on God
who made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all within.
It is God who is faithful forever,
who is justice for the oppressed
and bread for the hungry.
It is God who sets captives free,
who gives sight to the blind
and raises those who grieve.
It is God who loves the just,
who protects the stranger
and upholds the widowed and the orphaned.
The wicked will be confounded and shamed.
God's presence endures for all ages.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
