PSALM OF THE DAY
Antiphon:
Praise the Lord;
the Lord rebuilds Jerusalem.
Psalm 147: 1-9
Praise the Lord, for he is good;
sing praise to our God, for he is gracious;
it is fitting to praise him.
The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;
the dispersed of Israel he gathers.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He tells the number of the stars;
he calls each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
to his wisdom there is no limit.
The Lord sustains the lowly;
the wicked he casts to the ground.
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
sing praise with the harp to our God.
Who covers the heavens with clouds,
who provides rain for the earth;
Who makes grass sprout on the mountains
and herbs for the service of men;
Who gives food to the cattle,
and to the young ravens when they cry to him,
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen.
Antiphon:
Praise the Lord;
the Lord rebuilds Jerusalem.
SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
O Son,
condescending to become one of us,
you humbled yourself and came down to earth.
Stretch forth your merciful right hand upon us,
that it may protect us from the enemy,
now and forever.
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 a loud 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 forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen.
Alleluia.
HOOSOYO
PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who hears our prayers
ànd forgives our transgressions.
He is the ocean of mercy and source of compassion,
the God of goodness to whom is due glory and honor this evening,
and all the days of our lives, now and forever.
Amen.
SEDRO
Creator of the world and ruler of all beings,
you uphold everything by your power and guide all things in your wisdom.
You have made evening and morning, night and day.
Lord God,
during this evening grant our souls freedom from all evil thoughts,
and our bodies rest from all harmful fatigue.
Accept our vigil and receive our worship,
that your calm may reign over us, and your peace govern our hearts.
Thus, our minds will be freed from the darkness of sin.
Be for us the Sun of justice;
illumine us with your spiritual light, Lord,
that we may not sleep amid confusion and shame,
but be awakened to labor according to your commandments.
Do not turn your ever-watchful eye from us, but guard us in your mercy.
Lord, do not let the wolf enter into your sheepfold
to devour the sheep marked with your seal,
but protect us with your merciful right hand,
and save us from the enemy.
Keep the snares of the devil far from us,
and drive away all evil spirits.
Let no obscure thoughts fill us,
but rather grant us, asleep or awake, to persevere in what is pleasing to you,
and to store up deeds of goodness and light for the great and awesome Day.
Then we shall be counted among those who inherit the heavenly and eternal joys,
in that place of light where neither darkness nor trouble can penetrate,
and we shall glorify you, your Father and the Holy Spirit,
now and forever.
Amen.
QOLO
Lord, accept the incense (prayers) of your servants,
as you accepted the incense of Moses, and receive our petitions,
as you received the prayer of Eleazar and Phinehas.
As the incense of Aaron the Levite was pleasing to you,
so may this incense (our prayers), which your worshipers
have offered to you, be acceptable in your sight.
ETRO
Lord,
receive this incense (our prayer) which we have offered to you,
and render it pleasing to your Father.
Delight us with the fragrance of your glorious perfumes.
Thus we shall rejoice in you and give glory to you, your Father and your living Spirit,
now and forever.
Amen.
READINGS
MAZMOORO
Save your people and bless your inheritance;
shepherd and guide them always.
Some trust in chariots and others in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God forever.
I heard the voice of the Prophet Jeremiah say:
“Happy the man who from his earliest youth
has shouldered the yoke of the Lord.”
SCRIPTURE READINGS
A Reading from the Gospel of Mark
Mark 5: 21-43
When Jesus had crossed again [in the boat] to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea. One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.”
He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him. There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had.
Yet she was not helped but only grew worse.
She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” Immediately her flow of blood dried up.
She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” But his disciples said to him, “You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” And he looked around to see who had done it. The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So he went in and said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.” And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was. He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.
SUPPLICATION
O Lord of night, and Master of all time,
hear our supplication and have mercy on us.
You reconciled heaven and earth,
grant peace to your Church and keep her children in the light of the cross.
Behold, that night which spreads and covers the earth with darkness.
At night time may our prayer be a pure incense pleasing to your majesty.
The sun has set, darkness envelopes the earth.
Lord, illumine the eyes of our hearts with your light. Glory be to you, O Lord.
The Virgin Mary, your Mother and the apostles, prophets and
martyrs intercede for us; O God, through their prayers,
strengthen the weak, comfort the sick, grant pardon to the
deceased, and forgive the faults of us poor sinners.
Exalt O Lord, the memory of your Mother and your saints;
through their prayers grant pardon to us and our deceased.
Through the prayers of your Mother, the prophets, apostles and martyrs,
watch over the living, and in your mercy forgive those who have died.

LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who are in heaven;

Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;

but deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,

O Lord,
the night and the day are yours;
you uphold the light and the sun.
Through your power you direct the sequence of the seasons.
O Lord,

Be for us that great Day that never ends.
In the evening let your light shine in our hearts,
and in the darkness of the night
enlighten us with the knowledge of your truth.

we shall praise you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
To you be glory and may your mercy rest upon us,
now and forever.

this day which has passed in calm and peace.

“Forgive us, Jesus!”
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy.
Glory be to you, O Lord,

Father in heaven,
by your living and holy name,
keep us from evil and lead us not into temptation;
for we call upon you, O Lord our God, our constant hope,
glory to you forever.
O Lord, our Lord,
may our humble worship be pleasing to you;
may our prayers come before you and our actions give you honor.
Let your mercy, kindness, help, graces and divine love
be poured abundantly upon us, poor sinners,
both in heaven and on earth
which you have created in your goodness.
O Lord, our God, to you be glory forever.
Amen.

And with your spirit.
O God,
through the prayers of your Mother and the saints who have
believed in you;
Through the prayers of the prophets, apostles, martyrs and confessors;
through the prayers of the just, the priests, the holy fathers, pastors and teachers of the truth faith;
and through the prayers of N., Pope, of Rome, N., our Patriarch, and N., our Bishop,
forgive your people and have mercy on your flock.
May God bless, forgive, sanctify, purify,
and keep each of the faithful united with us in this spiritual office.
May mercy and compassion be upon us and all the faithful who dwell here.
May peaceful rest be granted to those who have died in the faith.
May the faithful who live here experience the protection of his victorious cross.
May we and all his servants, who adore him with bowed heads,
receive the mercy of the holy and glorious Trinity:
Father, Son, + Holy Spirit,
to whom be glory now and forever.
Amen.
May God forgive your sins,
pardon your failings,
and deliver you from the power of the enemy.
May he grant you the remission of your offenses.
Go in peace, and pray to Christ for me.
