the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.
Leader: Let us say together Psalm 91.
Psalm 91 Qui habitat
1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
2 will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,
the Most High your dwelling place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honor them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
All: 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.
Leader/Reader: Lord, you are in the midst of us, and we are called by your
Name: Do not forsake us, O Lord our God. Jeremiah 14:9, 22
Meditation Daily Prayer for All Seasons
“To enter Advent we leave fear for faith.”
-Sam Portaro
Reflection: What fears must we release in order to level the way for ourselves and for others?
(A short period of silence follows the meditation)
Leader: Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit;
People: For you have redeemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.
Leader: Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye;
People: Hide us under the shadow of your wings.
Leader: Lord, have mercy
People: Christ have mercy
Leader: Lord, have mercy
All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom
come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil.
Leader: Lord, hear our prayer;
People: And let our cry come to you.
Leader: Let us pray,
Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us
from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of your only Son,
our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this
night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick,
Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering,
pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.
(At this time silence may be kept, and free intercessions and thanksgivings may be offered.)

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
