21st Matins

Psalm 119(u) 161-168

161 Princes persecute me without cause,
    but my heart stands in awe of your words.
162 I rejoice at your word
    like one who finds great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood,
    but I love your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise you
    for your righteous ordinances.
165 Great peace have those who love your law;
    nothing can make them stumble.
166 I hope for your salvation, O Lord,
    and I fulfil your commandments.
167 My soul keeps your decrees;
    I love them exceedingly.
168 I keep your precepts and decrees,
    for all my ways are before you.

Collect

God our creator,
we thank you for Anselm,
who believed so he could understand,
who pursued the truth
so he could know why you became a man.
May our treasure be stored with you.
Amen.

Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)

Prayer

Our Father,
your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
God our judge and our teacher,
let us not waste time when the day is done in
guilt or self-reproach.
Give us rather the courage
to face whatever has been,
accept forgiveness, and move on to something better.
Amen

The Blessing

May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.
Amen.

Let us bless the Lord. Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thanks be to God. Alluluia! alleluia!
