Evening Prayer
Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia!
O gracious
light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O
Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of
the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your
praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You are worthy at
all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of
Life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.
Psalms
64 Exaudi,
Deus
1
Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; *
protect my life from fear
of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
*
from the mob of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongue
like a sword, *
and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4
That they may shoot down the blameless from ambush; *
they shoot
without warning and are not afraid.
5 They hold fast to their
evil course; *
they plan how they may hide their snares.
6
They say, "Who will see us?
who will find out our crimes?
*
we have thought out a perfect plot."
7 The human
mind and heart are a mystery; *
but
God will loose an arrow at them,
and suddenly they will be
wounded.
8
He will make them trip over their tongues, *
and all who see them
will shake their heads.
9 Everyone will stand in awe and
declare God's deeds; *
they will recognize his works.
10
The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and put their trust in him,
*
and all who are true of heart will glory.
65 Te
decet hymnus
1
You are to be praised, O God, in Zion; *
to you shall vows be
performed in Jerusalem.
2 To you that hear prayer shall all
flesh come, *
because of their transgressions.
3 Our sins
are stronger than we are, *
but you will blot them out.
4
Happy are they whom you choose
and draw to your courts to dwell
there! *
they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house,
by
the holiness of your temple.
5 Awesome things will you show us
in your righteousness,
O God of our salvation, *
O Hope of all
the ends of the earth
and of the seas that are far away.
6
You make fast the mountains by your power; *
they are girded about
with might.
7 You still the roaring of the seas, *
the
roaring of their waves,
and the clamor of the peoples.
8
Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at
your
marvelous signs; *
you make the dawn and the dusk to sing
for joy.
9 You visit the earth and water it abundantly;
you
make it very plenteous; *
the river of God is full of water.
10
You prepare the grain, *
for so you provide for the earth.
11
You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges; *
with heavy
rain you soften the ground and bless its increase.
12 You
crown the year with your goodness, *
and your paths overflow with
plenty.
13 May the fields of the wilderness be rich for
grazing, *
and the hills be clothed with joy.
14 May the
meadows cover themselves with flocks,
and the valleys cloak
themselves with grain; *
let them shout for joy and sing.
Glory to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Reading
Then
Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by
the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards
he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are
the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.’
But he answered, ‘It is written,
“One does not live by
bread alone,
but by every word that comes from
the mouth of God.” ’
Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the
pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, ‘If you are the Son of
God, throw yourself down; for it is written,
“He will
command his angels concerning you”,
and
“On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not
dash your foot against a stone.” ’
Jesus said to him,
‘Again it is written, “Do not put the Lord your God to
the test.” ’
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him
all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour; and he said to
him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and
worship me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Away with you, Satan!
for it is written,
“Worship the Lord your God,
and
serve only him.” ’
Then the devil left him, and
suddenly angels came and waited on him.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God
Lord,
you now have set your servant free *
to go in peace as you have
promised;
For
these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *
whom you have prepared
for all the world to see:
A
Light to enlighten the nations, *
and the glory of your people
Israel.
Glory
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in
the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
I
believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I
believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
He was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was
buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose
again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the
dead.
I
believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the
communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection
of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The
Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Our
Father in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom
come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give
us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive
those
who sin against us.
Save
us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For
the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for
ever. Amen.
Show us your mercy, O Lord;
And grant us your salvation.
Clothe your ministers with righteousness;
Let your people sing with joy.
Give peace, O Lord, in all the world;
For only in you can we live in safety.
Lord, keep this nation under your care;
And guide us in the way of justice and truth.
Let your way be known upon earth;
Your saving health among all nations.
Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;
Nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God;
And sustain us with your Holy Spirit.
Collect
of the Day: Proper
19
O God, because without you we are not able to please you, mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
A Collect for Peace
Most holy God, the source of all good desires, all right judgments, and all just works: Give to us, your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, so that our minds may be fixed on the doing of your will, and that we, being delivered from the fear of all enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through the mercies of Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.
For Mission
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Let us pray now for our own needs and those of others.
A Prayer of St. Chrysostom
Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Glory
to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can
ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in the
Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.
