Wednesday Prayer Feast of St. Mathew the Apostle and Evangelist
Come let us worship the Lord, the King of apostles
Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Alleluia
Ant. 1 My
commandment is this: love one another as I have loved you
Psalm 36 The
malice of sinners and God’s goodness
Transgression speaks to the sinner, in the depths of his heart.
There is no fear of God, before his eyes.
In his own eyes, he flatters himself, not to see and detest his own
guilt.
The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit. He has ceased to be prudent and do good.
In bed he plots iniquity. He sets
his foot on every wicked way;
no evil does he reject.
Your mercy, Lord, reaches to heaven, your truth to the clouds,
your righteousness is like God’s mountain; like the great deep, your
justice.
Both man and beast you save, O Lord……..
Ant. 2 Ant. 2 There is no greater love than to lay down
your life for your friends
Judit 16:1-2, 13-15 God
who created the world takes care of his people
Entonnez un cantique pour mon Dieu avec
des tambourins, chantez le Seigneur sur les cymbales,
Composez pour lui un psaume de louange
exaltez et invoquez son nom.
Car c’est un Dieu qui brise les guerres
que le Seigneur,
lui qui place ses camps au milieu du
peuple, il m’a arrachée a la main de ceux qui
me poursuivaient……………
Ant.3 You are my friends, says
the Lord, if you do what I command you
Psalm 47 The
Lord Jesus is King of all
All people, clap your hands. Cry to God with shout of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome, the great king over all the
earth.
He humbles peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
Our heritage he chose for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
God goes up with shouts of joy.
The Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
Sing praise for God, sing praise! God reigns over the nations.
God sits upon the holy throne.
The princes of the peoples are assembled, with the people of Abraham’s
God.
The rulers of the earth belong to God, who is greatly exalted.
Reading You are no longer strangers
and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of
the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is
held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord: in him you also are
being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Eph. 2:19-20
Prayer God of mercy, you choose a tax collector, Saint Mathew, to share
the dignity of the apostles. By his
example and prayers help us to follow Christ and remain faithful in your
service. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Evening Prayer Lord, watch over us by day and by night. In the midst of life’s countless changes,
strengthen us with you never changing love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
