Hilda of Whitby

O God of peace, by whose grace the abbess Hilda was endowed with gifts of justice, prudence, and strength to rule as a wise mother over the nuns and monks of her household, and to become a trusted and reconciling friend to leaders of the Church: Give us the grace to respect and love our fellow Christians with whom we disagree, that our common life may be enriched and your gracious will be done, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
(Lesser Feasts and Fasts)

1 Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous!
   Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
   make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new song;
   play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright,
   and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
   the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD;
   he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart is glad in him,
   because we trust in his holy name.
Psalm 33 – English Standard Version
