Daily Prayer
Feast of the Holy Innocents
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Joy and everlasting gladness will be theirs. They will never again know sorrow and pain.
Psalm 89 (Part I)
I will sing of your love, O God;
through all generations
I will proclaim your faithfulness.
Of this I am sure
that your love lasts forever,
your faithfulness is firmly established.
You have solemnly declared,
"With my chosen I have made a covenant.
I have given David my word:
'I will bless and keep your offspring
from age to age.' "
The heavens declare your wonders;
the assembly of your holy ones praises you.
Who can compare with you, O God?
Who is like you?
In the assembly of the holy ones
you are honored.
You are great; no one is your equal.
You hold the sea in its place
and still the surging of its waves.
It is you who quiet the monsters of the deep.
The heavens are yours,
the earth is yours.
The universe and its fullness you founded.
You created North and South;
Tabor and Hermon rejoice
at the sound of your name.
All strength is yours, O God.
Love and faithfulness walk before you.
You are clothed with integrity and justice.
Happy the people who acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence.
They find their joy in your name,
for you are the glory of their strength.
Your favor has raised them up.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
