PSALMODY
FIRST PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Lord God,
have mercy on us as you had compassion on the just and upright.
Forgive our sins and our faults;
grant us your assistance,
that we may glorify, adore and praise you,
with your Father and your Holy Spirit, now and forever.

Amen.

PSALM OF THE DAY
Antiphon:
Remember your flock
which you built up of old.

Psalm 74: 1-2, 10-12, 16-17, 20-21
Why, O God, have you cast us off forever?
Why does your anger smolder
against the sheep of your pasture?

Remember your flock which you built up of old,
the tribe you redeemed as your inheritance,
Mount Zion, where you took up your abode.

How long, O God, shall the foe blaspheme?
Shall the enemy revile your name forever?

Why draw back your hand
and keep your right hand idle beneath your cloak?

Yet, O God, my king from of old,
you doer of saving deeds on earth,

Yours is the day, and yours the night;
you fashioned the moon and the sun.

You fixed all the limits of the land;
summer and winter you made.

Look to your covenant,
for the hiding places in the land and the
plains are full of violence.

May the humble not retire in confusion;
may the afflicted and the poor praise your name.

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

Antiphon:
Remember your flock
which you built up of old.

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
O God, have compassion on our lowliness,
and pity our weakness.
Lend an ear to our pleas,
accept our petitions and lay your merciful right hand upon us.
On the great Day of your coming,
may we find true joy in you.
O Lord, our God, our hope is in you and we call upon your name;
to you be glory 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.

PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who pardons faults,
forgives sins, cleanses the impure, sanctifies the repentant,
and receives sinners.
He alone is compassionate and merciful,
the hope and Savior of all people,
the good and kind Lord to whom is due glory and honor this
evening, and all the days of our lives,
now and forever.

Amen.

SEDRO
Christ Jesus our Lord,
you do not desire the death of the sinner,
but that he repent of his evil conduct and have life.
Hope of the despairing and Savior of those who have fallen,
you promise: “Ask and I shall give to you,
knock and I shall open to you;
I shall stretch forth my hand a pardon your faults of ignorance.”
Strengthened by the hope of your kindness,
we who are faltering under the yoke of sin cry out for your mercy,
for willingly we have offended you
and we do not know how to call upon you.
Like the publican we pray:
“O God, have mercy on your sinful servants.”
Receive us, in spite of our sin,
do not be angry with us and do not turn your face from us.
Pardon us and have mercy on us, O our Creator.
If you desire, you can purify us.
We have sinned against heaven and against you,
and no longer deserve to be called your servants.
Let your kindness reach us;
do not reject us, nor abandon us,
like the foolish virgins, to the darkness.
Do not leave us in our shame and confusion,
outside the gate of your paradise,
and do not extinguish our lamps at your festal banquet.
Do not shut the door of your goodness,
nor reject us according to your justice,
but rather cover us with the mantle of your compassion.,
that we may be sheltered from your awesome justice.
With the penitent sinner who returned justified,
and the evildoers who believed in you and entered paradise,
may we obtain the pardon of our faults and forgiveness of our sins,
and enter the garden of light on the great and awesome Day
of your second coming.
To you we shall lift our voices in praise and glory,
now and forever.

Amen.

QOLO
Lord,
accept this incense (our prayer) which we now offer to your majesty,
as you accepted the incense of Zechariah who beheld the angel
and heard him announce the birth of John, the baptizer of Christ.

Lord, through the intercession of your saints and holy martyrs,
accept our offering, as you accepted the incense offered by the high priest.
May peace reign in the churches and monasteries,
and may their members enjoy your eternal protection.

ETRO
Lord God,
may this incense (our prayer) which we have offered for your
glory and our salvation,
be pleasing to you and obtain forgiveness of our sins.
For we lift up before you our faith,
that through your kindness our hearts may be cleansed and purified.
To you, your only Son and your Holy Spirit be glory,
now and forever.

Amen.

READINGS
MAZMOORO
The heavens glorify you, earth praises you,
the sea adores you; all sing of the hidden power which created them.

Heaven with its lights, the earth with its flowers,
and the sea with its fish, all sing of the hidden power which created them.

Jesus, your flock implores you amid their sufferings and tears;
in your kindness, deliver them from the evils which oppress them.

SCRIPTURE READINGS
A Reading from the Gospel of Mark
Mark 8: 1-21
In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat, he summoned the disciples and said, “My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.” His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread to satisfy them here in this deserted place?” Still he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied. He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then, taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed them to the crowd. They also had a few fish. He said the blessing over them and ordered them distributed also. They ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over —seven baskets. There were about four thousand people. He dismissed them and got into the boat with his disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha. The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore. They had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. He enjoined them, “Watch out, guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” They concluded among themselves that it was because they had no bread. When he became aware of this he said to them, “Why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? And do you not remember, when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?” They answered him, “Twelve.” “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They answered [him], “Seven.” He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

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.

At night, when the light of the sun sets on the horizon,
be for us a radiant light, and we shall praise your majesty.

Son of God, may your Word be a lamp for us
and a brilliant sun to guide us.

Priests, sing to God during the night,
just as Moses presented his evening offering,
and commanded that sacrifices be offered as praise
and glory to God every evening and morning.

In the evening, instead of sacrifices, offer praise;
instead of burnt offerings, a humble prayer.
Whoever has understanding, speech and tongue must thank God
on behalf of voiceless creatures.

Lord, those you have gifted with reason and spiritual powers,
praise you for your glory. May the Church and her children
whom you have rescued from error,
give glory and thanksgiving to you, your Father and your Holy Spirit.

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.

HOOTOMO
Let us confess, adore, and praise the holy and glorious Trinity: Father, Son, + and Holy Spirit. Amen.

TRISAGION
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Holy are you, O God;
Holy are you, O Strong One;
Holy are you, O Immortal One;
have mercy on us

Lord, have mercy on us.
Lord, forgive us and have mercy on us.
Lord, hear us and have mercy on us.
Lord, accept our worship and our prayers.
Lord, come to our assistance and have mercy on us.

LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who are in heaven,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your 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.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,
now and forever.
Amen.

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,
you have brought the day to its close and called forth the night.
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.
And so, through all the days of our lives,
we shall praise you, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
To you be glory and may your mercy rest upon us,
now and forever.

Amen.

EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE
Let us thank God for all the graces he has bestowed on us
this day which has passed in calm and peace.

Let us recall our failings against the commandments of God
and the Church in thought, word, deed, or omission.

We ask for God’s pardon as we pray:
“Forgive us, Jesus!”

Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Glory be to you, O Lord.
Glory be to you, O Lord.
Glory be to you, O Lord.

God,
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 the earth
which you have created in your goodness.
O Lord, our God, to you be glory forever.

Amen.

DISMISSAL
Peace be with you.
And with your spirit.
through the prayers of your Mother and the saints who have
believed in you:
the prayers of the prophets, apostles, martyrs and confessors; through the prayers of the just, the priests, the holy fathers, the pastors and doctors of true faith;
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 head,
receive the mercy of the holy and glorious Trinity:
Father, Son, + and 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.
