O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you
as the day rises to meet the sun.

Praise to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

Come, let us bow down and bend the knee : let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

Lord, help us stand for justice and find you among the poor.

Psalm 140:4-6
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked : protect me from the violent, who are determined to trip me us.
The proud have hidden a snare for me and stretched out a net of cords : they have set traps for me along the path.
I have said to the Lord, “You are my God : listen, O Lord, to my supplication.”

Lord, help us stand for justice and find you among the poor.

Deuteronomy 1:1-18
Luke 10:38-42
