I lay down and slept, and rose up

me.
I will not be afraid of ten
thousands of people, who have
set themselves against me
round about.
Up, Lord, and help me, O my God!
For Thou smite all my enemies
upon the cheek7bone; Thou
hast broken the teeth of the
ungodly.
Salvation belongs to the Lord; and
Thy Blessing is upon Thy
people.
I lay down and slept, and rose up
again; for the Lord sustained
me.
O Lord, do not rebuke me in Thy
Wrath, nor chasten me in Thy
hot displeasure! For Thine
Arrows pierce me deeply and
Thy Hand presses me down.
is no soundness in my
flesh because of Thine Anger,
nor any peace in my bones
because of my sin.
For my iniquities weigh upon my
head; like a heavy burden they
are too heavy for me.
My wounds are foul and
festering because of my
foolishness.
I am troubled, I am bowed down
greatly; thus I go mourning all
the day long.
my loins are full of
inflammation, and there is no
soundness in my flesh.

With his scrutinising right hand,
Thomas examined Thy Life7
bestowing Side, O Christ God.
When Thou entered while the
doors were locked, he cried out
to Thee, with the rest of the
Apostles: “THOU ART MY
LORD AND MY GOD!”
Who kept the Disciple’s hand
from being burnt up when it
approached the Fiery Side of
the Lord? Who gave it the
boldness that enabled it to
touch the flaming Bone? By all
means, it was the very Side that
was touched. For had not the
Side empowered the right hand
of clay, how could it have
touched the Wounds that
shook the world Above and
below? This Grace was granted
to Thomas, to enable him to
touch and to cry out to Christ:
“THOU ART MY LORD AND
MY GOD!”

They came round me all day long
like water; they engulfed Me
altogether.
My loved ones and friends, Thou
hast removed far from Me, and
my only companion is
Darkness.
O Lord, God of my Salvation, I
have cried day and night before
Thee.
Let my Prayer come before Thee.
Incline Thine Ear unto my cry.
Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all
that is within me, Bless His
Holy Name!
the Lord, O my soul, and
forget not all His Benefits: Who
forgives all your iniquities, Who
heals all your diseases, Who
Redeems your life from
destruction, Who crowns you
with Loving7kindness and
tender Mercies, Who satisfies
your mouth with Good Things,
so that your youth is renewed
like the eagle’s.
The Lord executes Righteousness
and Justice for all who are
oppressed. He made known
His Ways to Moses, His Acts to
the Children of Israel. The
Lord is Merciful and Gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding
in Mercy.
He will not always struggle with
us, nor will He keep His Anger
forever. He has not dealt with
us according to our sins, nor
punished us according to our
iniquities.

For, as the heavens are high above
the earth, so Great is His Mercy
towards those who fear Him.
As far as the East is from the
West, so far has He removed
our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children, so
the Lord pities those who fear
Him. For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are but
dust.
As for man, his days are like
grass; as a flower of the field,
so he flourishes. For the wind
passes over it and it is gone.
And the place remembers it no
more.
But the Mercy of the Lord is from
Everlasting to Everlasting on
those who fear Him and His
Righteousness unto children’s
children, to those who keep His
Covenant, and to those who
remember His Commandments
7 to do them.
The Lord has established His
Throne in Heaven and His
Kingdom rules over all.
the Lord, You His Angels,
who excel in Strength, who do
His Word, heeding the Voice of
His Word.
Bless
the Lord, all You His Hosts,
You Ministers of His who do
His Pleasure.
Bless the Lord, all you His Works,
in all places of His Dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul! [2]

Therefore my spirit is

Cause me to know the Way in

At that time, the Eleven Disciples
went away into Galilee, to the
Mountain that Jesus had
appointed for them.
When they saw Him, they
worshipped Him; but some
doubted.
And Jesus went and spoke to
them, saying: “All Authority
has been given to Me in
Heaven and on earth. Go,
therefore, and make
Disciples of all the Nations,
Baptising them in the Name
of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all
things that I have
commanded you; and behold:
I Am with you always, even
until the end of the Age.”

For Thou art our God, and

Thee, we call upon Thy Name.
