FIRST PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Our Lord and Creator,
we adore you at all times,
especially now at dawn when you have awakened us from sleep,
that we might praise you.
Grant us to stand at your right hand at your great Dawn,
to receive the life of happiness.
And with joyful hearts we shall give you glory and thanksgiving,
now and forever.

Psalm of the day
Antiphon:
The Lord is our God
forever and ever.

Psalm 48
Great is the Lord and wholly to be praised
in the city of our God.

His holy mountain, fairest of heights,
is the joy of all the earth;

Mount Zion, “the recesses of the North,”
is the city of the great King.

God is with her castles;
renowned is he as a stronghold.

For lo! The kings assemble,
they come on together;

They also see, and at once are stunned,
terrified, routed;

Quaking seizes them there;
anguish, like a woman’s in labor.

As though a wind from the east
were shattering ships of Tarshish.

As we had heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of hosts.

In the city of our God;
God makes it firm forever.

O God, we ponder your kindness
within your temple.

As your name, O God, so also your praise
reaches to the ends of the earth.

Of justice your right hand is full;
let Mount Zion be glad,

Let the cities of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgements.

Go about Zion, make the round;
count her towers.

Consider her ramparts,
examine her castles,

That you may tell a future generation
that such is God,

Our God forever and ever;
he will guide us.

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

Antiphon:
The Lord is our God
forever and ever.

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Glory to you, Light of truth and Star of glory.
The radiance of your splendor dispels darkness from our minds and hearts.
O Lord,
grant that in praising you, we may be enlightened,
find our joy in you,
and recognize you as the giver of that light which dispels
darkness and creates morning.
O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom all creatures must adore,
to you be glory, forever.

Amen.

NUHRO (LIGHT OF HYMN)
The Light of the just and joy of the upright is Christ Jesus our Lord.
Begotten of the Father, he manifested himself to us.
He came to rescue us from darkness and to fill us with the radiance of his light.

Day is dawning upon us; the power of darkness is fading away,
From the true Light there arises for us the light which illumines our darkened eyes.

His glory shines upon the world and enlightens the very depths of the abyss.
Death is annihilated, night has vanished, and the gates of Sheol are broken.

Creatures lying in darkness from ancient times are clothed in light.
The dead arise from the dust and sing because they have a Savior.

He brings salvation and grants us life.
He ascends to his Father on high.
He will return in glorious splendor
and shed his light on those gazing upon him.

Our King comes in majestic glory.
Let us light our lamps and go forth to meet him.
Let us find our joy in him, for he has found joy in us.
He will indeed rejoice us with his marvelous light.

Let us glorify the majesty of the Son and give thanks to the almighty Father,
who, in an outpouring of love, sent him to us, to fill us with hope and salvation.

When he manifests himself, the saints awaiting him in
weariness and sorrow,
will go forth to meet him with lighted lamps.

The angels and guardians of heaven will rejoice
in the glory of the just and upright people of earth;
together, crowned with victory, they will sing hymns and psalms.

Stand up then and be ready!
Give thanks to our King and Savior,
who will come in great glory to gladden us with his marvelous light in his kingdom.

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

Alleluia.

THIRD PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
O Lord,
guard our thoughts from the errors of this troubled world
and awaken spiritual life within us,
through meditation on your life-giving commandments.
Thus, with enlightened thoughts, the reflections of your grace,
our hearts will be purified of vain endeavors,
and we shall glorify you in the holy temple of your majesty,
now and forever.

Amen.

MORNING PSALMS
Psalm 148
Alleluia.
Praise the Lord from the heavens,
praise him in the heights;

Praise him, all you his angels,
praise him, all you his hosts.

Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for he commanded and they were created;

He established them forever and ever;
he gave them a duty which shall not pass away.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
you sea monsters and all depths;

Fire and hail, snow and mist,
storm winds that fulfill his word;

You mountains and all you hills,
you fruit trees and all you cedars;

You wild beasts and all tame animals,
you creeping things and you winged fowl.

Let the kings of the earth and all peoples,
the princes and all the judges of the earth,

Young men too, and maidens,
old men and boys,

Praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;

His majesty is above earth and heaven,
and he has lifted up the horn of his people.

Be this his praise from all his faithful ones,
from the children of Israel, the people close to him.

Alleluia.

Psalm 149:1-6
Alleluia.
Sing to the Lord a new song
of praise in the assembly of the faithful.

Let Israel be glad in their maker,
let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.

Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

For the Lord loves his people,
and he adorns the lowly with victory.

Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing for joy upon their couches;

Let the high praises of God be in their throats.

Alleluia.

Psalm 150
Alleluia.
Praise the Lord in his sanctuary,
praise him in the firmament of his strength.

Praise him for his mighty deeds,
praise him for his sovereign majesty.

Praise him with the blast of the trumpet,
praise him with lyre and harp.

Praise him with timbrel and dance,
praise him with strings and pipe.

Praise him with sounding cymbals,
praise him with clanging cymbals.

Let everything that has breath
praise the Lord!

Alleluia.

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

For steadfast is his mercy toward us,

now and forever. Amen.

Alleluia.

HOOSOYO
PROEMION
Praise, glory and honor to the One who created all things through his Word;
he established all in his wisdom and stretched forth the heavens.

And filled the waters with living creatures.
To him is due glory and honor this morning,
and all the days of our lives, now and forever.

Amen.

SEDRO
Lord,
we beg and implore you:
through this incense (prayers) which we offer you in our lowliness,
pardon your servants who have knowingly or unknowingly
sinned and done evil in your sight,
Pardon the faults of those who have believed
and confessed your only beloved Son, Christ Jesus our Lord.
We ask you especially to forgive your servants who bow down before you,
and beg pardon and remission of their sins and faults.
Lord, all-powerful God,
forgive them in your goodness,
through the intercession of the angels and the faithful
who have been pleasing to you in word and deed.
May your mercy and forgiveness be upon us and upon them,
and we shall give glory to you, your only Son and your Holy Spirit,
now and forever.

Amen.

QOLO
Holy are you, O God,
in your compassion you have given life to our sinful nature.

Holy are you, O Strong One,
in your love you have cleansed us of our blemishes
and washed them away in your compassion.

Holy are you, O Immortal One,
you have given us life and washed away our iniquity.

Glory to you because of your love for us;
through your mercy sinners have obtained the forgiveness of their sins.
They adore you unceasingly.

Lord, grant forgiveness to all sinners who beg you, in your goodness,
to pardon their faults.
Make us worthy to stand at your right hand and to glorify your grace forever.

ETRO
Kind and merciful Lord,
we ask that the fragrance of this incense (our prayers)
be pleasing to you,
and obtain for us the forgiveness of sins, the pardon of faults,
blessings upon the harvest, compassion for the baptized,
peace for the nations,
safety for the Church, and the protection of her children.
May your name be praised, now and forever.

Amen.

READINGS
MAZMOORO
Lord of light, your light has shone upon your creatures, and
dispelled the deadly darkness of unbelief.

Lord of light, remember your Church which you have upheld
and dispel from her the deadly darkness of unbelief.

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

SCRIPTURE READINGS
A Reading from the First Letter to the Corinthians 1 Corinthians 16: 1-24
Now in regard to the collection for the holy ones, you also should do as I ordered the churches of Galatia. On the first day of the week each of you should set aside and save whatever one can afford, so that collections will not be going on when I come. And when I arrive, I shall send those whom you have approved with letters of recommendation to take your gracious gift to Jerusalem. If it seems fitting that I should go also, they will go with me. I shall come to you after I pass through Macedonia for I am going to pass through Macedonia, and perhaps I shall stay or even spend the winter with you, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go. For I do not wish to see you now just in passing, but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. I shall stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, because a door has opened for me wide and productive for work, but there are many opponents. If Timothy comes, see that he is without fear in your company, for he is doing the work of the Lord just as I am. Therefore no one should disdain him. Rather, send him on his way in peace that he may come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.
Now in regard to our brother Apollos, I urged him strongly to go to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his will that he go now. He will go when he has an opportunity. Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong. Your every act should be done with love. I urge you, brothers — you know that the household of Stephanas is the firstfruits of Achaia and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy ones — be subordinate to such people and to everyone who works and toils with them. I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because they made up for your absence, for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. So give recognition to such people. The churches of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca together with the church at their house send you many greetings in the Lord. All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

I, Paul, write you this greeting in my own hand. If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.
