Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.

Show us the light of your countenance, O God, and come to us.

Confession
Lord Jesus Christ, who stretched out your hands on the cross, and redeemed us by your blood: forgive me, a sinner, for none of my thoughts are hidden from you. Pardon I ask, pardon I hope for, pardon I trust to have. You who are full of pity and mercy: spare me, and forgive.
  Ambrose

The Greeting
To Jesus all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
  Acts 10:43

The Refrain
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
  Psalm 106:3

A Reading
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
  Matthew 5:13-16

The Refrain
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
  Psalm 106:3

Midday Psalm
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for his steadfast love endures forever; and brought Israel out from among them, for his steadfast love endures forever; with a strong hand and outstretched arm, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who divided the Red Sea in two, for his steadfast love endures forever; and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his steadfast love endures forever; Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
  Psalm 136:1-3, 10-14, 16, 26

The Refrain
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
  Psalm 106:3

The Cry of the Church
Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give me an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give me an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow on me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
  Thomas Aquinas

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed by your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Personal Requests

Closing Prayer
Most powerful, most high, most holy, most supreme Lord, you alone are good, and all goodness comes from you. May we give you all praise, all glory, all blessing and all honor. And may we offer back to you all the good things which you have granted to us.
  Francis of Assisi
