PSALM OF THE DAY
RAMSHO
Antiphon: Once you spoke in a vision, and to your faithful ones you said:
“On a champion I have placed a crown; over the people I have set a youth.”

Psalm 89: 20-38

Once you spoke in a vision,
and to your faithful ones you said:

“On a champion I have placed a crown;
over the people I have set a youth.”

I have found David, my servant;
with my holy oil I have anointed him,

That my hand may be always with him,
and that my arm may make him strong.

“No enemy shall deceive him,
nor shall the wicked afflict him.

But I will crush his foes before him
and those who hate him I will smite.

My faithfulness and my kindness shall
be with him,
and through my name shall his horn
be exalted.

I will set his hand upon the sea,
his right hand upon the rivers.

“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father,
my God, the Rock, my savior.’

And I will make him the first-born,
highest of the kings of the earth.

Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him,
and my covenant with him stands firm.

I will make his posterity endure forever
and his throne as the days of heaven.

“If his sons forsake my law
and walk not according to my ordinances,

If they violate my statutes
and keep not my commands,

I will punish their crime with a rod
and their guilt with stripes.

Yet my kindness I will not take from him,
nor will I belie my faithfulness.

“I will not violate my covenant;
the promise of my lips I will not alter.

Once, by my holiness, have I sworn;
I will not be false to David.

His posterity shall continue forever,
and his throne shall be like the sun before me;

Like the moon, which remains forever
a faithful witness in the sky.”

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.

Antiphon: Once you spoke in a vision, and to your faithful ones you said:
“On a champion I have placed a crown; over the people I have set a youth.”

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
O Lord,
prepare for us a place in that world of happiness and glory
that you have made ready for your chosen ones;
grant eternal rest to all those who in sincere faith, have
left this passing world.
Forgive them and all our faults, and
with all the saints, we shall give thanks to you.
To you be glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
now and for ever.
Amen.
EVENING PSALMS
Psalm 141:1-4
O Lord, to you I call; hasten to me;
harken to my voice when I call upon you.

Let my prayer come like incense before you;
the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.

O Lord, set a watch before my mouth,
a guard at the door of my lips.

Let not my heart incline to the evil
of engaging in deeds of wickedness

With men who are evildoers;
and let me not partake of their dainties.

Psalm 142
With aloud voice I cry out to the Lord;
with a loud voice I beseech the Lord.

My complaint I pour out before him;
before him I lay bare my distress.

When my spirit is faint within me,
you know my path.

In the way along which I walk
they have hid a trap for me.

I look to the right to see,
but there is no one who pays me heed.

I have lost all means of escape;
there is no one who cares for my life.

I cry out to you, O Lord:
I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land
of the living.”

Attend to my cry,
for I am brought low indeed.

Rescue me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me.

Lead me forth from prison,
that I may give thanks to your name.

The just shall gather around me
when you have been good to me.

Psalm 119:105-112
A lamp to my feet is your word,
a light to my path.

I resolve and swear
to keep your just ordinances.

I am very much afflicted;
O Lord, give me life according to your word.

Accept, O Lord, the free homage of my mouth,
and teach me your decrees.

Though constantly I take my life in my hands,
yet I forget not your law.

The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but from your precepts I have not strayed.

Your decrees are my inheritance forever;
the joy of my heart they are.

I intend in my heart to fulfill you statutes
always to the letter.

Psalm 117
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
glorify him, all you peoples!

For steadfast is his mercy toward us,
and the truth of the Lord endures for ever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.
Alleluia.

HOOSOYO
PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who raises the dead, and
awaken those who sleep in the dust;
God of spirits and bodies, and judge of the living
and the dead,
known in divine Unity and acclaimed in the trinity
of persons,
he is adored and glorified.
To the infinitely good Lord is due glory and honor this night, and all the days of our lives,
now and for ever.
Amen.
SEDRO
O God, we implore you;
when those on your right will be glorified, and those on
your left condemned;
when the fire of judgment will illumine the just and inflame
the impious;
when those on each side will have their destiny, with no
possibility of change,
grant that those who died in the faith, clothed themselves
with you and receive you the blessed food for their
journey, may behold your smiling face and rest in the
heavenly dwelling place of light and joy;
in the new Jerusalem, city of saints, with Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.
Exalt their memory on your heavenly altar,
and when you call us to join them,
Prepare for us the eternal happiness to which we were called
through perfect faith in you.
With them we shall give you glory and thanksgiving, for ever.
Amen.
QOLO
Let us remember the prophets and apostles who preached the
truth among the nations; and the martyrs and saints who
obtained the cross of victory.
Let us remember Mary, the Mother of God, as well as the Church and her children, and all who rest in the hope of resurrection.

ETRO
O God,
drawing from your immense and inexhaustible treasure,
we offer you this incense (prayer)
for the sanctification of the just and the repentance of
sinners;
for the repose and happy memory of all who embraced truth
and accomplished justice,
and especially for your servants whom we remember this day.
Grant them eternal rest in the dwelling place of the just where all rejoice in you;
May their prayer intercede for us.
To you be glory for ever.
Amen.
READINGS
MAZMOORO
Now, as the sun goes down and the night extends its dominion,
Lord, may your mercy be upon us.
Now, as the sun gathers up its rays and darkness envelops the
earth, O Son of God, may your compassion be upon us.
In your mercy, you accepted the offering of the righteous before us, accept now our praise and receive our prayer.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
A Reading from the Prophet Isaiah
Isaiah 43: 1-11
But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. When you pass through the water, I will be with you; in the rivers you shall not drown. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in return for you.
Because you are precious in my eyes and glorious, and because I love you, I give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you; from the east I will bring back your descendants, from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north: Give them up! and to the south: Hold not back! Bring back my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth: Everyone who is named as mine, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. Lead out the people who are blind though they have eyes, who are deaf though they have ears. Let all the nations gather together, let the peoples assemble! Who among them could have revealed this, or foretold to us the earlier things? Let them produce witnesses to prove themselves right, that one may hear and say, “It is true!” You are my witnesses, says the LORD, my servants whom I have chosen To know and believe in me and understand that it is I.
Before me no god was formed, and after me there shall be none. It is I, I the LORD; there is no savior but me.

SUPPLICATION
Son of God, grant eternal rest to your servants in the heavenly kingdom with your saints.
Son of God, whose voice calls forth the dead from the tomb,

hear our petitions and forgive your servants who have
departed from us.
On the great Dawn when all secrets will be judged and all hidden deeds revealed;
when the trumpet will summon the dead descendants of
Adam and all will stand before the throne of God;
When all the nations of the world will be in array before him, and each person, with no adornment save his deeds, will
stand before him;
At that moment, when justice will follow its course, be compassionate toward the people you have saved, O Son of God.
By your merciful power, give life to those you have
redeemed by your blood,
and rescue from the darkness those who have partaken
of your body.
Glory to the Father, who has commanded the judgement of all
human beings;
adoration of the Son, whose judgment is perfect;
thanksgiving to the Spirit, who rejects privilege and
partiality and treats each one in justice;
glory be to God!
O Christ, who prayed at the cup of death might pass away
from you, take away from us the cup of the second death,
and have mercy on us.
Exalt, O Lord, the memory of your Mother and your saints,
through their prayer grant pardon to us and our deceased.
