September 9 2022 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. 

Canticle Revelation 15:3-4

Mighty and wonderful are your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Righteous and true are your ways,
O King of the nations!

Who would dare refuse you honor,
or the glory due your name, O Lord?

Since you alone are holy,
all nations shall come
and worship in your presence.
Your mighty deeds are clearly seen.

Reading: Romans 1:16b-17

The Gospel is the power of God leading everyone who believes in it to salvation. For in the Gospel is revealed the justice of God, which begins and ends with faith. The Scripture says: “The just man shall live by faith.”

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

Forgive us for the times we have offended you.
Have mercy on your people!
Turn our hearts to seek you above all else.
Have mercy on your people!
Bring those who have died into your Kingdom.
Have mercy on your people!
Dear Father,
You sent your Son into the world that he might draw us back to you. As we contemplate his Passion, Death, and Resurrection, may we be truly sorry for our sins and strive to please you in all we do. We ask this through Jesus your Son in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
