See Advent Daily Prayer for the opening, closing, and canticle.
Psalm 121
Antiphon: Lightly I run in the way you have shown, for you have opened my heart to receive your law.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains:
from where shall come my help?
My help shall come from the Lord
who made heaven and earth.
May he never allow you to stumble!
Let him sleep not, your guard.
No, he sleeps not nor slumbers,
Israel’s guard.
The Lord is your guard and your shade,
at your right side he stands.
By day the sun shall not smite you
nor the moon in the night.
The Lord will guard you from evil,
he will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your going and coming
both now and for ever.
Antiphon: Lightly I run in the way you have shown, for you have opened my heart to receive your law.
Reading: 2 Peter 3:8b-9
In the Lord’s eyes, one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years are as a day. The Lord does not delay in keeping his promise – though some consider it delay. Rather, he shows you generous patience, since he wants none to perish but all to come to repentance.
Pray either the Canticle of Zechariah or the Canticle of Mary. You can find them here.
