Almighty God, who in a rude and
barbarous age raised up your Deacon Alcuin to rekindle the light of learning:
Illumine our minds, we pray, that amid the uncertainties and confusions of our
own time we may show forth your eternal truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen
(From Lesser Feasts and Fasts)
1 Praise the Lord!
Happy are those who fear the Lord,
who greatly delight in his commandments.
2 Their descendants will be
mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in their
houses,
and their righteousness endures forever.
4 They rise in the darkness as a
light for the upright;
they are gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with those who deal
generously and lend,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will never be
moved;
they will be remembered forever.
7 They are not afraid of evil
tidings;
their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.
8 Their hearts are steady, they
will not be afraid;
in the end they will look in
triumph on their foes.
9 They have distributed freely,
they have given to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever;
their horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked see it and are
angry;
they gnash their teeth and melt away;
the desire of the wicked comes to nothing.
Psalm 112 – New Revised Standard Version
