August 31 2024 Daily Prayer

Every day, we will post a few brief prayers inspired by the Liturgy of the Hours.

O Lord, open my lips. And my mouth shall declare your praise.

Psalm 117

O praise the Lord, all you nations,
acclaim him, all you peoples!

Strong is his love for us;
he is faithful for ever.

Reading: 2 Peter 1:10-11

Be solicitous to make your call and election permanent, brothers; surely those who do so will never be lost. On the contrary, your entry into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for.

The Canticle of Mary

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, 
My spirit rejoices in God, my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.

Intercessions

May we praise your name today in all we say and do.
Lord hear our prayer!
Heal the sick and be with the dying.
Lord hear our prayer!
Help us when we fall through sin.
Lord hear our prayer!
Dear Father,
Fill us with the light of the Holy Spirit that we may always be pleasing to you. We ask this through Jesus your Son in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
