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.

If we are fools in this world, Lord, may we be fools for Christ.

Psalm 13:3-6
Look upon me and answer me, O Lord my God : give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” : and my foes rejoice that I have fallen.
But I put my trust in your mercy : my heart is joyful because of your saving help.
I will sing to the Lord, for he has dealt with me richly : I will praise the name of the Lord Most High.

If we are fools in this world, Lord, may we be fools for Christ.

1 Samuel 12:1-6, 16-25
Matthew 25:14-30
