Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Rise, O God! Come to our help! Let your light shatter our darkness.
Psalm 44 (part I)
We heard for ourselves, O God,
all that you did in days past;
those before us have told us the story.
You scattered the godless,
placing the faithful in the land;
to plant them you uprooted the nations.
No sword of their own won the land;
it was you and the light of your presence.
You saved them, for you loved them.
It is you, O God,
who granted favors to Israel;
with your help we overcame our foes.
In your name we subdued our oppressors.
It was not in my bow that I trusted;
it was not by my sword that I was saved.
You are the one who saves us;
you are the one who scatters our foes.
All day long we glorify you;
we praise your name without ceasing.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
