PSALMODY
FIRST PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Lord,
put your holy fear within our hearts.
May your holy commandments be rooted deep within our hearts
and help us to dwell, pure and holy, in your presence.
And we shall glorify you, your Father and your Holy Spirit,

PSALM OF THE DAY
Antiphon:
Praise the Lord;
the Lord rebuilds Jerusalem.

Psalm 147: 1-9
Praise the Lord, for he is good;
sing praise to our God, for he is gracious;
it is fitting to praise him.

The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;
the dispersed of Israel he gathers.

He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

He tells the number of the stars;
he calls each by name.

Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
to his wisdom there is no limit.

The Lord sustains the lowly;
the wicked he casts to the ground.

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
sing praise with the harp to our God.

Who covers the heavens with clouds,
who provides rain for the earth;

Who makes grass sprout on the mountains
and herbs for the service of men;

Who give food to the cattle,
and to the young ravens when they cry to him,

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

Antiphon:
Praise the Lord;
the Lord rebuilds Jerusalem.

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Lord,
through hope in your generous promises,
console us in the temptations and difficulties that surround
us here on earth.
By your power keep the vanities of the world away from us
and grant us to walk in the straight path of your commandments that lead us from earth to heaven.
Thus we shall weave crowns of victory
and our joy will be one with that of the saints in the life
of spirit.
We shall unceasingly give you glory,
now and forever.
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 a loud 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 forever.

 

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

Alleluia.

HOOSOYO
PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the Light, whose radiance has revealed the Father of lights; to the Brightness, whose splendor has drawn us to the threshold of light;
to the wise One, who in divine generosity has offered us the treasures of wisdom;
to the living and life-giving One, who in his kindness has led us to the source of life.
To him, the Lord of goodness, is due glory and honor this evening, and all the days of our lives,
now and forever.
Amen.
SEDRO
Lord God,
we adore you as we beg your mercy and compassion;
in your kindness, hear our plea.
Accept this incense (these prayers) which we offer you in our weakness,
as you heard the prayer of Abel and accepted his sacrifice because of the simplicity of his heart.
O God, deliver your people from the evil one,
as you saved the just man, Noah, from the torrents of the deluge in the days of destruction.
The holy patriarchs implored you, and you granted their petitions: when Abraham called upon you, you delivered his
imprisoned people from the hands of kings;
when Isaac called upon you, you loosened his bonds,
saved him from his father’s knife, and accepted the
sacrifice of a ram;
when Jacob called upon you, you delivered him from
the sword of his brother, Esau;
when Moses called upon you, you opened the Red Sea
before the people of Israel;
when Aaron called upon you, you accepted the incense he
offered you before the Ark of the Covenant;
when Phinehas called upon you, the scourge was averted
from the rebellious people;
when Joshua, son of Nun, called upon you, the sun and the
moon halted in their course;
when Daniel called upon you in the den, he escaped the
mouth of the hungry lions;
when the young men of the house of Ananias called upon you
in the fiery furnace,
the flames did not touch them, but instead devoured
their enemies.

O God, hear our prayer at this time,
as you heard the prayer of king Hezekiah while the forces of
Sennecharib fled before him.
Grant our petitions, O Lord,
as you answered the prayer of Elijah when fire came down and
consumed his sacrifice.
And as you heard the prayer of Anna in the temple,
Mary and Martha at the tomb of their brother Lazarus,
that of the holy apostles in the Upper Room,
and the martyrs at the judgment seat,
O Lord, hear the prayers of your servants who stand in your
presence.
Draw from your heavenly treasure and grant their petitions.
Give hope and joy to all who turn to you and await your grace.
Then we shall unceasingly glorify you, your Father and your
Holy Spirit,
now and forever.
Amen.
QOLO
You accepted the sacrifice of David offered you with a sincere heart and death was turned away from Israel.
Calm the anger heaped up against the flock which you have
redeemed by your blood. Through the prayers of your Church,
your people implore your majesty to turn away your anger from them.
ETRO
O Lord,
accept this incense (prayer) offered by your Church.
Through it, bring healing to our souls and bodies,
and peace to the faithful departed who rest in your hope.
To you be glory and thanksgiving,
now and forever.
Amen.
READINGS
MAZMOORO
Lord, on Friday you formed me and clothed me in glory. Satan was jealous and seduced me; Lord, have mercy on us.

You formed me; you laid your hand upon me and clothed me in
glory. Satan was jealous and seduced me; Lord, have mercy
on us.
Lord, do not deprive us from hearing your words, “Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom.”

SCRIPTURE READINGS
A Reading from the Gospel of Mark
Mark 6: 30-56
The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. By now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already very late. Dismiss them so that they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” He said to them in reply, “Give them some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Are we to buy two hundred days’ wages worth of food and give it to them to eat?” He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out they said, “Five loaves and two fish.” So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass. The people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties. Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; he also divided the two fish among them all. They all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments and what was left of the fish. Those who ate [of the loaves] were five thousand men. Then he made his disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. And when he had taken leave of them, he went off to the mountain to pray. When it was evening, the boat was far out on the sea and he was alone on shore. Then he saw that they were tossed about while rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them. But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out.
They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were [completely] astounded. They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.

After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.

SUPPLICATION
O Lord of night, and Master of all time, hear our supplication and have mercy on us.
You reconciled heaven and earth, grant peace to your Church and keep her children in the light of the cross.
The Son of God comes for trial and judgment. Who would not
fear the awesome Judge, who holds in his hands the burning
torch? By fire he will judge, and with flames he will
separate the good from the evil.
The Second Coming will not be like the first. The first time he came as victim for sinners, but at the Second Coming
he will come as righteous Judge.
He will test all people in the crucible; all imperfection will be put to consuming fire. Let us then fear the coming of the Son
of God and hasten to repentance.
Glory be to the Father, who has entrusted all judgment to the Son, adoration to the Son, who will judge with equity; thanksgiving to the Spirit, who knows no partiality. Glory to the three
Persons, in one Godhead.
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 their 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.

glory to you forever.
O Lord, our Lord,
may our humble worship be pleasing to you;
may our prayers come before you and our actions give you
honor.
Let you mercy, kindness, help, graces and divine love
be poured abundantly upon us poor sinners,
both in heaven and on the earth
which you have created in your goodness.
O Lord, our God, to you be glory forever.
Amen.

DISMISSAL
Peace be with you.
And also with you.
O God,
through the prayers of your Mother and the saints who have
believed in you;
the prayers of the prophets, apostles, martyrs and confessors; through the prayers of the just, the priests, the holy fathers, the pastors and teachers of the truth faith;
and through the prayers of N., Pope of Rome, N., our Patriarch, and N., our Bishop,
forgive your people and have mercy on your flock.
May God bless, forgive, sanctify, purify, and keep each of the faithful united with us in this spiritual office.
May mercy and compassion be upon us and all the faithful who
dwell here.
May peaceful rest be granted to those who have died in the faith.
May the faithful who live here experience the protection of his victorious cross.
May we and all his servants, who adore him with bowed head,
receive the mercy of the holy and glorious Trinity
Father, Son, + Holy Spirit,
to whom be glory now and forever.
Amen.
May God forgive your sins,
pardon your failings,
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.
