Psalm 123
1 To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 As the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
until he has mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than its fill
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.
Collect
Jesus,
God in human form,
we thank you for Joseph, Mary’s husband,
who treated you as a son;
we commend to you all those
who care for children not their own.
Amen.
Thanksgiving
Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
Be present, merciful God,
and protect us through the silent hours of this night,
that we, who are wearied
by the changes and chances of this fleeting world,
may rest upon your eternal changelessness.
Amen
The Blessing
May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.
Amen
