PSALM OF THE DAY
Antiphon: O Lord, our Lord,
how glorious is your name over all the earth.

Psalm 8

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
you have fashioned praise because of your foes,
to silence the hostile and the vengeful.

When I behold the heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you set in place—

What is man that you should be mindful of him,
or the son of man that you should care for him:

You made him little less than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.

You have given him rule over the works of your hands,
putting all things under his feet:

All sheep and oxen,
yes, and the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,
and whatever swims the paths of the seas.

O Lord, our Lord,
how glorious is your name over all the earth!

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.

Antiphon: O Lord, our Lord,
how glorious is your name over all the earth.

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Christ,
cornerstone and foundation of our lives,
by your hand we are carved,
in your keeping we are secure,
and by your divine power we are upheld.
When the winds of evil blow, and the storm rages on
the great abyss,
when the rains fall upon the mountains and over the
proud creatures,
may the torrents of our sins not sweep us away to
die in our faults.
Remember that your have become part of us, and we of you.
Grant us to praise your unspeakable power,
now and for ever.
Amen.
EVENING PSALMS
Psalm 141:1-4
O Lord, to you I call; hasten to me;
harken to my voice when I call upon you.
Let my prayer come like incense before you;
the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.

O Lord, set a watch before my mouth,
a guard at the door of my lips.
Let not my heart incline to the evil
of engaging in deeds of wickedness
With men who are evildoers;
and let me not partake of their dainties.
Psalm 142
With aloud voice I cry out to the Lord;
with a loud voice I beseech the Lord.
My complaint I pour out before him;
before him I lay bare my distress.
When my spirit is faint within me,
you know my path.
In the way along which I walk
they have hid a trap for me.
I look to the right to see,
but there is no one who pays me heed.
I have lost all means of escape;
there is no one who cares for my life.
I cry out to you, O Lord:
I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land
of the living.”
Attend to my cry,
for I am brought low indeed.
Rescue me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.
Lead me forth from prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.
The just shall gather around me
when you have been good to me.

Psalm 119:105-112
A lamp to my feet is your word,
a light to my path.
I resolve and swear
to keep your just ordinances.
I am very much afflicted;
O Lord, give me life according to your word.
Accept, O Lord, the free homage of my mouth,
and teach me your decrees.
Though constantly I take my life in my hands,
yet I forget not your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but from your precepts I have not strayed.
Your decrees are my inheritance forever;
the joy of my heart they are.
I intend in my heart to fulfill you statutes
always to the letter.
Psalm 117
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
glorify him, all you peoples!
For steadfast is his mercy toward us,
and the truth of the Lord endures for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.
Alleluia.
[SOOGHITO/HYMN]
If desired, a Sooghito or either the Hymn, “The Christian Combat” (page 165) or the Hymn, “The Expectation of the Virgins” (page 166) may be sung following the Evening
Psalms.

HOOSOYO
PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who is eternally
merciful and ever pours out his goodness.
Of his own free will he became incarnate for sinners;
he said: “I have not come to call the just, but the sinners
and evildoers.”
We beg that his kindness may deliver us
and his goodness heal our wounds.
Then we shall praise, glorify and adore him, the Father
and the Holy Spirit, this evening,
and all the days of our lives,
now and for ever.
Amen.
SEDRO
Creator and ruler of all in heaven and on earth,
your glory surpasses and transcends all things.
We place our trust in you, as we come to you with contrite
hearts and repentant tears.
Assured that you help those who call upon you and save those
who take refuge in you,
we beg you to guard your flock day and night, and gather us who are scattered.
Deliver from the evil one and his power, your people who believe in you and pray to you.
Exalt your Church and lead her to those who are strangers,
those who remain far from your mysteries,
and those who do not believe in you.
Let there be no heresies to draw us from you,
and may only true faith be proclaimed in our Church to the
end of time.
Thus we shall give glory and thanksgiving to you, and your
Father and your living and Holy Spirit,
now and for ever.
Amen.
QOLO
O Christ our King, may your mercy be upon sinners who beseech
you;
open the gate of your mercy to the poor who call upon you.

The Virgin Mary, your Mother, implores you on our behalf;
the martyrs who died hoping in you now intercede for us.
In your kindness, receive us and have pity on us, O most merciful One.
ETRO
Lord God,
we ask you to accept from us poor sinners
this incense (prayer) which we offer you.
May it be for us and all your faithful people,
for the forgiveness of sins and remission of faults,
For the fulfillment of your divine commands,
and for the eternal rest for those who have died:
our parents, brothers and sisters, and teachers,
and for the glory of your name, that of your Father
and your Holy Spirit.
now and for ever.
Amen.
READINGS
MAZMOORO
Blessed be the evening which gathers us together in your joyful dwellings. Blessed be your cross that protects us from the
evil one and his powers.
You servants give you thanks in your joyful dwelling; day and
night your people praise you.
As the pillar of fire protected your people through the night, may your cross protect us from the evil one and his power.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
A Reading from the Letter to the Ephesians
Ephesians 5:17-21
Do not continue in ignorance, but try to discern the will of the Lord. Avoid getting drunk on wine; that leads to debauchery. Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and inspiring songs. Sing praise to the Lord with all your hearts. Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Defer to one another out of reverence for Christ.

SUPPLICATION
O Lord of night and Master of all time, hear our supplications and have mercy on us.
You have reconciled heaven and earth, grant peace to your
Church, and keep her children in the light of the cross.
Day has come to a close; night is here, showing us that life passes away and death draws near. For those who understand, the
fading day is an image of the passing world. Behold the
night of this day, and, at the gate, the night of the world.
All you who love life, rise at night to praise divine Providence and his great wisdom. The weary laborer an the tired servant
are thankful because night comes to bring them rest.
Night reprimands the one who is greedy for gain, who does not
care for the suffering of his fellow men. Perhaps he will
repent. Night brings rest to the workers, and stifles the
greed of those who impose heavy burdens.
At night, on behalf of your creatures, we glorify you, Lord watch over all. You withdraw light from the face of the earth,
and order night to come, as a rest for the weary. May your
majesty be adored!
The Virgin Mary, your Mother and the apostles. prophets and
martyrs intercede for us; O God, through their prayers,
strengthen the weak, comfort the sick, grant pardon to the
deceased and forgive the faults of us poor sinners.
Exalt, O Lord, the memory of your Mother and your saints:
through the prayers grant pardon to us and our deceased.
Through the prayers of your Mother, the prophets, apostles
and martyrs, watch over the living, and in your mercy,
forgive those who have died.
HOOTOMO
Let us confess, adore, and praise the holy and glorious Trinity: Father, Son ✛ and Holy Spirit.

LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who are in heaven;
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,
now and for ever.

Through your power you direct the sequence of the seasons.

And so, through all the days of our lives,
we shall praise you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
To you be glory and may your mercy rest upon us,
now and for ever.

Amen.

you honor.

be poured abundantly upon us poor sinners,
both in heaven and on the earth
which you have created in your goodness.

And also with you.
O God,
through the prayers of your Mother and the saints who have
believed in you;

and deliver you from the power of the enemy.
May he grant you the remission of your offenses.
Go in peace, and pray to Christ for me.
