Leader: O Lord, open my lips. All: And my mouth shall declare your praise.
Come, let us worship the Lord, the Lord is our God.

Psalm 30

I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O Lord, I cried to you for help
and you, my God, have healed me.
O Lord, you have raised my soul from the dead,
restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.

Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him,
give thanks to his holy name.
His anger lasts a moment; his favor all through life.
At night there are tears, but joy comes with dawn.

I said to myself in my good fortune:
“Nothing will ever disturb me.”
Your favor had set me on a mountain fastness,
then you hid your face and I was put to confusion.

To you, Lord, I cried,
to my God I made appeal:
“What profit would my death be, my going to the grave?
Can dust give you praise or proclaim your truth?

The Lord listened and had pity.
The Lord came to my help.
For me you have changed my mourning into dancing,
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
So my soul sings psalms to you unceasingly.
O Lord my God, I will thank you for ever.

Reading: Amos 4:13

He formed the mountains, and created the wind,
and declares to man his thoughts;
He made the dawn and the darkness,
and strides upon the heights of the earth:
The Lord, the God of hosts by name.
Pray either the Canticle of Zechariah or the Canticle of Mary. You can find them here.
Antiphon for the Canticle of Zechariah:     Let us serve the Lord in holiness, and he will save us from our enemies.
Antiphon for the Canticle of Mary:    God has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.

Intercessions

Perfect the work we do today.
Lord, bring us close to you! 
Fill our hearts with your joy.
Lord, bring us close to you! 
May we imitate you in our lives.
Lord, bring us close to you! 
Dear Jesus,
Cast out of our hearts the darkness of sin that we may imitate you and be your true disciples. We ask the Father for this in your name in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
