Daily Prayer: Saturday 24th: PREPARATION Versicles and Responses O Lord, open our lips and our mouth will proclaim your praise. O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen. Praise the Lord. The Lord’s name be praised. A Psalm - Psalm 136 A Canticle Which may be said here or between the readings The Song of Wisdom 1 Wisdom is the brightness of eternal light, the spotless mirror of God’s power at work, the image of God’s goodness. 2 Wisdom is but one, yet she can do all things; herself unchanging, she makes all things new. 3 Age after age, she enters holy souls and makes them friends of God, and prophets, beloved of God as her companions. 4 Wisdom is more beautiful than the sun, surpassing every constellation of the stars. 5 Her radiance is greater than the light of day; for day’s light is followed by the night. 6 Against wisdom no evil can prevail; she reaches mightily from one end of the earth to the other, and orders all things well. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit As it was in the beginning is now and shall be forever. Amen One or two readings A cycle | B cycle | Holy Communion cycle The Gospel Canticle Benedictus 1 Blessèd be the Lord the God of Israel, who has come to his people and set them free. 2 The Lord has raised up for us a mighty saviour, born of the house of his servant David. 3 Through the holy prophets God promised of old to save us from our enemies, from the hands of those who hate us, 4 to show mercy to our forebears, and to remember his holy covenant. 5 This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hand of our enemies. 6 Free to worship him without fear, holy and righteous before him all the days of our life. 7 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, 8 To give his people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of all their sins. 9 In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us. 10 To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit As it was in the beginning is now and shall be forever. Amen The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
