Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Justice shall flourish in God’s time, and fullness of peace.
Psalm 115
Give glory, O God,
not to us, but to your name.
Show us your kindness and truth.
Why should others ask,
"Where is their God?"
You are the true God.
No one directs you.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes but cannot see,
ears but cannot hear.
They have nostrils but cannot smell,
hands but cannot feel,
feet but cannot walk.
Their makers will come to be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
House of Israel,
trust in the Holy One,
your refuge and help.
House of Aaron,
trust in the Holy One,
your refuge and help.
You who reverence God,
trust in the Holy One,
your refuge and help.
God is with us,
blessing the house of Israel.
God is with us,
blessing the house of Aaron.
God is with us,
blessing those who are reverent,
the little no less than the great.
To you may God grant increase,
to you and all your children.
May you be blest
by the maker of the heavens and the earth.
The heavens belong to God,
but the earth is given to us.
The dead do not offer praise;
their lips are sealed in silence.
But we, the living, bless God
now and forever.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
