Jul 02, Invitatory for Thursday of the 13th week of Ordinary Time
Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth will proclaim your praise.
Psalm 24
Ant. Come, Let us worship the Lord, for he is our God.
The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world and all its peoples.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the waters he made it firm.
Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The man with clean hands and pure heart,
who desires not worthless things,
who has not sworn so as to deceive his neighbor.
He shall receive blessings from the Lord
and reward from the God who saves him.
Such are the men who seek him,
seek the face of the God of Jacob.
O gates, lift high your heads;
grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!
Who is the king of glory?
The Lord, the mighty, the valiant,
the Lord, the valiant in war.
O gates, lift high your heads;
grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!
Who is he, the king of glory?
He, the Lord of armies,
he is the king of glory.

Thursday Morning Prayer in Ordinary Time
Hymn: “How I love You” by Simple Roots (http://www.garageband.com/artist/simpleroots)
Psalm 57 — Morning prayer in affliction
Antiphon: Awake, lyre and harp, with praise let us awake the dawn.
Have mercy on me, God, have mercy
for in you my soul has taken refuge.
In the shadow of your wings I take refuge
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I call to you God the Most High,
to you who have always been my help.
May you send from heaven and save me
and shame those who assail me.
O God, send your truth and your love.
My soul lies down among lions,
who would devour the sons of men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongue a sharpened sword.
O God, arise above the heavens;
may your glory shine on earth!
They laid a snare for my steps
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path
but fell in it themselves.
My heart is ready, O God,
my heart is ready.
I will sing, I will sing your praise.
Awake, my soul;
awake, lyre and harp,
I will awake the dawn.
I will thank you, Lord, among the peoples,
among the nations I will praise you
for your love reaches to the heavens
and your truth to the skies.
O God, arise above the heavens;
may your glory shine on earth.
Canticle: Jeremiah 31:10-14 — The happiness of a people who have been redeemed
Antiphon: My people, says the Lord, will be filled with my blessings.
Psalm 48 – Thanksgiving fro the people’s deliverance
Antiphon: The Lord is great and worthy to be praised in the city of our God.
The Lord is great and worthy to be praised
in the city of our God.
His holy mountain rises in beauty,
the joy of all the earth.
Mount Zion, true pole of the earth,
the Great King’s city!
God, in the midst of its citadels,
has shown himself its stronghold.
For the kings assembled together,
together they advanced.
They saw; at once they were astounded;
dismayed, they fled in fear.
A trembling seized them there,
like the pangs of birth.
By the east wind you have destroyed
the ships of Tarshish.
As we have heard, so we have seen
in the city of our God,
in the city of the Lord of hosts
which God upholds for ever.
O God, we ponder your love
within your temple.
Your praise, O God, like your name
reaches the ends of the earth.
With justice your right hand is filled.
Mount Zion rejoices;
the people of Judah rejoice
at the sight of your judgments.
Walk through Zion, walk all round it;
count the number of its towers.
Review all its ramparts,
examine its castles,
that you may tell the next generation
that such is our God,
our God for ever and always.
It is he who leads us.
Reading: Isaiah 66:1-2
Canticle of Zechariah performed and arranged by Erika Provinzano
Antiphon: Let us serve the Lord in holiness, and he will save us from our enemies.

Thursday Evening Prayer in Ordinary Time
Hymn: O Bone Jesu: Marc Antonio Ingegneri 1545-1592 by The Cathedral Singers (Richard Proulx conducting)
Latin translation into English:
O good Jesus, O most holy Jesus, O most sweet Jesus,
O Jesus, son of the Virgin Mary, full of piety,
O sweet Jesus,
according to your great mercy
have mercy upon me.
O most compassionate Jesus
I beseech you by that precious blood
which you willingly shed for sinners
that you might wash away my wickedness
and look upon me
miserable and unworthy sinner
imploring this name of Jesus.
O name of Jesus, sweet name, name of Jesus,
beloved name, name of Jesus, sweet name,
for what is Jesus if not our saviour?
Therefore good Jesus through your name
save me that I shall not perish
and suffer me not to be damned
whom you created out of nothing.
O good Jesus, let not my sin destroy me.
I beg you, most holy Jesus,
forsake not me whom your love has made.
O sweet Jesus, accept what is yours
and reject that which offends you.
O most beloved Jesus, O most longed for Jesus,
O most gentle Jesus, O Jesus,
permit me to enter into your kingdom, sweet Jesus.
Psalm 30 — Thanksgiving for deliverance from death
Antiphon:I cried to you, Lord, and you healed me; I will praise you for ever.
I will praise you, Lord, you have rescued me
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
* * *
O Lord, I cried to you for help
and you, my God, have healed me.
O Lord, you have raised my soul from the dead,
restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.
Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him,
give thanks to his holy name.
His anger lasts a moment; his favor all through life.
At night there are tears, but joy comes with dawn.
I said to myself in my good fortune:
“Nothing will ever disturb me.”
Your favor had set me on a mountain fastness,
then you hid your face and I was put to confusion.
To you, Lord, I cried,
to my God I made appeal:
“What profit would my death be, my going to the grave?
Can dust give you praise or proclaim your truth?
The Lord listened and had pity.
The Lord came to my help.
For me you have changed my mourning into dancing,
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
So my soul sings psalms to you unceasingly.
O Lord my God, I will thank you for ever.
Psalm 32 — They are happy whose wins are forgiven
Antiphon:The one who is sinless in the eyes of God is blessed indeed.
Happy the man whose offense is forgiven,
whose sin is remitted.
O happy the man to whom the Lord
imputes no guilt,
in whose spirit is no guile.
I kept it secret and my frame was wasted.
I groaned all day long,
for night and day your hand was heavy upon me.
Indeed my strength was dried up
as by the summer’s heat.
But now I have acknowledged my sins;
my guilt I did not hide.
I said: “I will confess
my offense to the Lord.”
And you, Lord, have forgiven
the guilt of my sin.
So let every good man pray to you
in the time of need.
The floods of water may reach high
but him they shall not reach.
You are my hiding place, O Lord;
you save me from distress.
(You surround me with cries of deliverance.)
* * *
I will instruct you and teach you
the way you should go;
I will give you counsel
with my eye upon you.
Be not like horse and mule, unintelligent,
needing bridle and bit
else they will not approach you.
Many sorrows has the wicked
but he who trusts in the Lord,
loving mercy surrounds him.
* * *
Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord,
exult, you just!
O come, ring out your joy,
all you upright of heart.

Examination of conscience - We are called to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men, in our hearts and in our minds, in our actions and inactions. To do so, it is vital that we examine our conscience daily and to ask for God’s mercy as we fall short and to ask for His strength to do better.
