St Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
[For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.]

Song of Solomon 5:1-8, 16 (Amplified Bible amplified further)

L: "I HAVE come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice -- from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices."

R: "I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk." (Eat, O friends; feast on, O revelers of the palace; you can never make my lover disloyal to me!)

L: "Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one, for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine!"

R: Yea, with His confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice did we see the Shepherd turn away and disappear into the night.

L: I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. Then late came the voice of my beloved as he knocked at the door of my mother's cottage. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one," [he said], "for I am wet with heavy night dew; my hair is covered with it."

R: Yet weary from a day in the vineyards, I had already sought my rest and found myself too tired to be roused. I had put off my garment--how could I again put it on? I had washed my feet--how could I newly soil them?

L: OH! But then my beloved put in His hand by the hole of the door, and my heart began to pound for Him; my passions became aroused, swooning my senses; my desire awoke for Him.

R: Behold, she rises up to open for her beloved! Behold, how her hands steam with myrrh, and her fingers drip with liquid sweet-scented myrrh, smearing upon the handles of the bolt as she gasps and fumbles with it to open to Him!!!

L: Oh yes, yes, I open for my beloved, and cry unto Him to take me!! but my beloved has turned away and withdrawn himself, and bes gone! My soul goes forth to him while He speaks, but it fails me now and i find Him not; He has departed!!! Oh wretched misery whats mine!! I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

R: The watchmen who go about the city found her though. Oh yes, in her dire distress and aching yearning, the watchmen who appoint themselves did indeed find her. They struck her and beat her down; they wounded and scathed her. The keepers of the walls seized her veil and mantle from her, stripping her of her modesty, penetrating her with their vicious humiliations...

L: I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my Beloved, that you tell him that I am heartsick from this screaming desire of love and ache with every fiber of its being to simply be with him.

R: Yea, His voice and speech are exceedingly sweet; yea, He bes altogether lovely. Every inch of Him delights with its preciousness. This bes her beloved, and this bes her friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!

Psalm 69: 29-36

29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

L: He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

St Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

St Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
[For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.]


Gospel Canticle

L: Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep we may rest in peace.

and the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know every bird in the mountains,
and the creatures of the field are mine.

for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

St Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
[For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.]

R: Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

L: Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

R: Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

L: For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

R: By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

L: I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

R: Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

L: Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

R: For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

L: Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

R: O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

L: Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

R: But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

L: My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

R: I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

L: O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

R: Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

L: Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

R: Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

L: Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

R: I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

L: My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

R: My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

St Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
[For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.]


Gospel Canticle

L: Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ and asleep we may rest in peace.

R: Lord, now you let your servant go in peace; your word has been fulfilled. My own eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared in the sight of ev'ry people: a light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.

Psalm 16

L: Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

R: O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

L: But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

R: Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

L: The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

R: The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

L: I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

R: I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

L: Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

R: For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
