Morning Prayer - October 01, 2026 - ord memorial

0:00God, come to my assistance. Lord, make haste to help me. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, He is now and will be forever. Amen. I leave. Your lamp offered you work and prayer, O Virgin, pleasing to the King. As one you favor in his sight, whose glory of the angel sing.

1:04As chosen bride of spouse divine, the saints rejoice your face to see. His love has kept you for his own, by treasured grace of justity. Teach us to live true Christian lives, and help us with your fervent prayers. That we may valiantly resist, the wicked tenders evil slairs.

2:04True model of virgin's life may holy, merry, baker's son, to help us exiles here below, until our course on earth is run. All glory be to God on high, beyond the realms of time and space. Who led it to the bliss above, this virgin's triumph won by grace. Amen.

3:19Stir up your mighty power, Lord, come to our aid. O Shepherd of Israel, hear us. You who lead Joseph's flock, shine forth from your cherubim throne upon Ephraim Benjamin Minasa. O Lord, rouse up your might, O Lord, come to our help. God of hosts, bring us back. Let your face shine on us, and we shall be saved. Lord God of hosts, how long will you frown on your people's plea? You have fed them with tears for their bread, and abundance of tears for their drink. You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, our enemies laugh us to scorn. God of hosts, bring us back. Let your face shine on us, and we shall be saved. You brought a vine out of Egypt, to plant it you drove out the nations, before it you cleared the ground.

4:22It took root and spread through the land. The mountains were covered with its shadow, the cedars of God with its bow. It stretched out its branches to the sea, to the great river, it stretched out its shoots. Then why have you broken down its walls? It is plucked by all who pass by. It is ravaged by the boar of the forest, devoured by the beasts of the field. God of hosts, turn again we implore, look down from heaven and sea. Visit this vine and protect it, the vine your right hand has planted. Men have burnt it with fire and destroyed it. May they perish at the frown of your face. May your hand be on the man you have chosen, the man you have given your strength. And we shall never forsake you again, give us life that we may call upon your name.

5:23God of hosts, bring us back. Let your face shine on us, and we shall be saved. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and we'll be forever, amen. Let us pray. Lord God, eternal shepherd, you so tend the vineyard you planted, that now it extends its branches even to the farthest coast. Look down on your church and come to us. Help us remain in your Son as branches on the vine, that planted firmly in your love, we may testify before the whole world, to your great power, working everywhere. Stir up your mighty power, Lord. Come to our aid. The Lord has worked marvels for us. Make it known to the ends of the world.

6:29The Lord has worked marvels for us. Make it known to the ends of the world. I give you thanks, O Lord, though you have been angry with me. Your anger has abated, and you have consoled me. God indeed is my Savior. I am confident and unafraid. My strength and my courage is the Lord, and He has been my Savior. With joy you will draw water at the fountain of salvation and say on that day. Give thanks to the Lord, acclaim his name. Among the nations make known his deeds, proclaim how exalted is his name. Sing praise to the Lord for his glorious achievement. Let this be known throughout all the earth. Shout with exaltation, O city of Zion, for great in your midst is the holy one of Israel.

7:38Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever, amen. The Lord has worked marvels for us. Make it known to the ends of the world. Ring out your joy to God our strength. Ring out your joy to God our strength. Ring out your joy to God our strength. Shout in triumph to the God of Jacob. Raise a song and sound the timbrel, the sweet sounding harp and the loot. Blow the trumpet at the new moon when the moon is full on our feast. For this is Israel's law, a command of the God of Jacob. He imposed it as a rule on Joseph when he went out against the land of Egypt. A voice I did not know said to me, I freed your shoulder from the burden.

8:43Your hands were freed from the load. You called in distress and I saved you. I answered concealed in the storm cloud. At the waters of Miraba, I tested you. Listen, my people, to my warning. O Israel, if only you would heed. Let there be no foreign God among you, no worship of an alien God. I am the Lord, your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. But my people did not heed my voice and Israel would not obey. So I left them in their stubbornness of heart to follow their own designs. O that my people would heed me, that Israel would walk in my ways. At once, I would subdue their foes, turn my hand against their enemies.

9:48The Lord's enemies would cringe at their feet and their subjection would last forever. But Israel, I would feed with finest wheat and fill them with honey from the rock. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. Let us pray. Lord God, open our mouths to proclaim your glory. Help us leave sin behind and to rejoice in professing your name. Bring out your joy to God our strength. A reading from the song of songs. Deep waters cannot quench love nor floods sweep it away. We're one to offer all he owns to purchase love.

10:51He would be roundly mocked. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. My heart is ever pleading. Show me your face. My heart is ever pleading. Show me your face. I long to gaze upon you, Lord. Show me your face. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. My heart is ever pleading. Show me your face. Truly, I say to you, unless you change your lives and become like little children,

11:55you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel. He has come to His people and set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty Savior born of the house of His servant David. Through His holy prophets, He promised of old that He would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers, and to remember His Holy covenant. This was the oath He swore to our Father Abraham, to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship Him with the out here, holy and righteous in His sight, all the days of our life. You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,

12:59for you will go before the Lord, to prepare His way, to give His people knowledge of salvation, by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness, and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. Truly, I say to you, unless you change your lives and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Christ is the spouse and crowning glory of virgins, let us praise Him with joy in our voices, and pray to Him with sincerity in our hearts.

14:06Jesus, crown of virgins, hear us. Christ, the Holy virgins loved you as their one true spouse. Grant that nothing may separate us from your love. Jesus, crown of virgins, hear us. You crowned Mary your mother, Queen of virgins. Through her intercession, let us continually serve you with your hearts. Jesus, crown of virgins, hear us. Your handmaids were always careful to love you with whole and undivided attention, that they might be holy in body and spirit. Through their intercession, grant that the lore of this passing world may not distract our attention from you. Jesus, crown of virgins, hear us. Lord Jesus, you are the spouse, whose coming was anticipated by the wise virgins.

15:07Grant that we may wait for you in hope and expectation. Jesus, crown of virgins, hear us. Through the intercession of the saint and virgin we commemorate today, who is one of the wise and prudent virgins, grant us wisdom and innocence of life. Jesus, crown of virgins, hear us. With the longing for the coming of God's kingdom, let us offer our prayer to the Father. Our Father, who art in heaven, how would be thy name? Thy kingdom come. Thy 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 we as not in temptation, but deliver us from evil.

16:11Oh God, who opened your kingdom to those who are humble and to little ones, lead us to follow, trustingly, in the little way of Saint Teresa. So that through her intercession, we may see your eternal glory revealed. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen. May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen. Amen.
