Morning Prayer (Psalm 121) I lift up my eyes towards the mountains Whence shall my help come? My help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth. He will not suffer my (your) foot to slip; He slumbers not, He who guides me (you) The Guardian of Israel; The Lord is my (your) Guardian, The Lord is my (your) shade. The sun shall not harm me (you) by day. Nor the moon by night. The Lord will guard me (you) from all evil. He will guard my (your) life. The Lord will guard my (your) coming and going. Both now and forevermore. here I am Lord  Second Sunday in Ordinary Time  textes de la messe

          PSALM 51                                                                                                                                  Prayer O Jesus Christ, Divine Master, I thank and bless your loving Heart for the great gift of the Holy Eucharist. Your love makes you dwell in our tabernacles, to renew your passion and death in the Mass, to give yourself as food for our souls in Holy Communion. May I come to know you, O hidden God. May I drink from the fount of living waters that flow from your Heart. Grant me to visit you every day in this holy sacrament; to assist at holy Mass with understanding, to receive you in holy communion often and with the proper disposition. May all men respond to your invitation, “Come to me all you who are burdened.”  Mass Readings for 17th Jan. textes liturgiques du jour

PRAYING FOR GOD’S WISDOM God of my ancestors, merciful Lord, by your word you created all things. By your wisdom you created man to rule all creation, to govern the world with holiness and justice. Give me wisdom that sit beside your throne; give me place among your children. I am your servant as my mother was, I am only human and weak, and my life will be short. I have little understanding of the Law or how to apply it.   Even if one is perfect, he will counted as nothing without the wisdom that comes from you. Send her from your glorious throne, so that she may work at my side, that I may learn what pleases you. She knows and understand everything, and will guide me intelligently in what I do. Her glory will protect me, and my actions will be acceptable to you.                                                                                                                                                                     Wisdom 9 Textes de la mes
