Leader: O Lord, open my lips. All: And my mouth shall declare your praise.
Come, let us sing to the Lord and shout with joy to the Rock who saves us, alleluia.

Psalm 150

Praise God in his holy place,
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his powerful deeds,
praise his surpassing greatness.

O praise him with sound of trumpet,
praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with timbrel and dance,
praise him with strings and pipes.

O praise him with resounding cymbals,
praise him with clashing of cymbals.
Let everything that lives and that breathes
give praise to the Lord.

Reading: 2 Timothy 2:8, 11-13

Remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of David,
was raised from the dead. You can depend on this:
If we have died with him
we shall also live with him;
If we hold out to the end
we shall also reign with him.
But if we deny him he will deny us. If we are unfaithful
he will still remain faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

Pray either the Canticle of Zechariah or the Canticle of Mary. You can find them here.
Antiphon for the Canticle of Zechariah:    Come follow me, says the Lord; I will make you fishers of men.
Antiphon for the Canticle of Mary:    The Spirit of the Lord rests upon me; he has sent me to preach the good news to the poor.

Intercessions

Open our hearts to your voice.
Lord hear our prayer!
May we never turn away from the path you have shown us.
Lord hear our prayer!
Strengthen your Church under the leadership of Francis, our pope.
Lord hear our prayer!

Dear Jesus,
May we always be ready to serve you. Give us a spirit of trust that we may always stay close to you. We ask the Father for this in your name in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
