<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Psalm 119:105-112<br />
XIV (Nun)<br />
A meditation on God’s law</span><br />
<i>This is my commandment: that you should love one another</i> (John 15:12).</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Your word is a lamp for my steps</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and a light for my path.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I have sworn and have made up my mind</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">to obey your decrees.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Lord, I am deeply afflicted;</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">by your word give me life.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Accept, Lord, the homage of my lips</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and teach me your decrees.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Though I carry my life in my hands,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I remember your law.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Though the wicked try to ensnare me,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I do not stray from your precepts.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Your will is my heritage for ever,<br />
<a name="more"></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">the joy of my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I set myself to carry out your statutes</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">in fullness, for ever.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Psalm-prayer</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Let your Word, Father, be a lamp for our feet and a light to our path, so that we may understand what you wish to teach us and follow the path your light marks out for us.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Ant. </span> Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain. There he was transfigured before them.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Ant. 2 </span> His face was radiant as the sun, and his clothing white as snow.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Psalm 16<br />
The Lord himself is my heritage</span><br />
<i>The Father raised up Jesus, freeing him from the grip of death</i> (Acts 2:24).</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I say to the Lord: “You are my God.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">My happiness lies in you alone.”</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">He has put into my heart a marvelous love</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">for the faithful ones who dwell in his land.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Those who choose other gods increase their sorrows.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Never will I offer their offerings of blood.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Never will I take their name upon my lips.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">O Lord, it is you who are my portion and cup;</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">it is you yourself who are my prize.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">The lot marked out for me is my delight:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">welcome indeed the heritage that falls to me!</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">who even at night directs my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">I keep the Lord ever in my sight:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">even my body shall rest in safety.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">For you will not leave my soul among the dead,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">nor let your beloved know decay.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">You will show me the path of life,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">the fullness of joy in your presence,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">at your right hand happiness for ever.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Psalm-prayer</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Lord Jesus, uphold those who hope in you and give us your counsel, so that we may know the joy of your resurrection and deserve to be among the saints at your right hand.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Ant. </span> His face was radiant as the sun, and his clothing white as snow.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Ant. 3 </span> Moses and Elijah were speaking to him of the death he would endure in Jerusalem.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Canticle – Philippians 2:6-11<br />
<i>Christ, God’s holy servant</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Though he was in the form of God,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Jesus did not deem equality with God</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">something to be grasped at.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Rather, he emptied himself</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and took the form of a slave,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">being born in the likeness of men.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">He was known to be of human estate,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and it was thus that he humbled himself,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">obediently accepting even death,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">death on a cross!</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Because of this,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">God highly exalted him</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and bestowed on him the name</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">above every other name,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">So that at Jesus’ name</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">every knee must bend</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">in the heavens, on the earth,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and under the earth,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">and every tongue proclaim</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">to the glory of God the Father:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Ant. </span> Moses and Elijah were speaking to him of the death he would endure in Jerusalem.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">READING </span> 2 Corinthians 6:1-4a</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">We beg you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says, “In an acceptable time I have heard you; on a day of salvation I have helped you.” Now is the acceptable time! Now is the day of salvation! We avoid giving anyone offense, so that our ministry may not be blamed. On the contrary, in all that we do we strive to present ourselves as ministers of God.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">Sacred Silence</span> (indicated by a bell) – a moment to reflect and receive in our hearts the full resonance of the voice of the Holy Spirit and to unite our personal prayer more closely with the word of God and public voice of the Church.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">RESPONSORY </span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Listen to us, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against you.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> Listen to us, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against you.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Christ Jesus, hear our humble petitions,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> for we have sinned against you.</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,</div>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<p><span style="color:red;">—</span> Listen to us, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against you.</p>
