Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands;serve the Lord with gladness;come before him with joyful song.Know that the Lord is God;he made us, his we are;his people, the flock he tends.Enter his gates with thanksgiving,his courts with praise;Give thanks to him;bless his name, forhe is good:the Lord,whose kindness endures forever,and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 100
Glory to the Father. . .
Reading
All of you should be like-minded, sympathetic, loving toward one another, kindly disposed, and humble. Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult. Return a blessing instead. This you have been called to do, that you may receive a blessing as your inheritance. 1 Peter 3:8-9
Intercessions
Lord, our refuge and strength, listen to our praise at the beginning of this day,--teach us to praise you without end.In you we place our faith and hope,--that our waiting might be rewarded.You know our needs and come to our aid,--without you we can do nothing.Remember the poor and unfortunate,--may this day not be a burden to them.
