Daily Prayer
Memorial of Perpetua and Felicity
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Those who love God will rejoice. They shall rise up and offer thanks.
Psalm 107 (Part II)
God changes streams into desert land,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
fertile land into a salty waste
because of the wickedness
of those who live there.
God pours contempt upon their rulers,
makes them wander in trackless wastes.
By oppression, evil, and sorrow
they are reduced to nothing.
But God changes desert into streams,
thirsty ground into springs of water.
There God settles the needy
to build a city of their own.
There they sow fields and plant vines,
yielding crops for the harvest.
God blesses them;
they grow in number.
Their flocks and herds increase.
The faithful see this and rejoice,
while all who do wrong are silenced.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
