Morning Prayer

 

Leader: O God, come to my assistance.

All: O Lord, make haste to help me.

Leader: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

All: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

All: The Lord is my shepherd: there is nothing I shall want.

Leader: Fresh and green are the pastures

  where he gives me repose.

Near restful waters he leads me,

  to revive my drooping spirit.

All: The Lord is my shepherd: there is nothing I shall want.

Leader: He guides me along the right path;

  he is true to his name.

If I should walk in the valley of darkness

  no evil would I fear.

You are there with your crook and your staff;

  with these you give me comfort.

All: The Lord is my shepherd: there is nothing I shall want.

Leader: During this month of November, let us pray for the Holy Souls in purgatory.

All: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Leader: Let us praise the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.
