O Lord God, in a wonderful sacrament you have left us a memorial of your Passion: Deepen our reverence for the sacred mysteries of your Body & Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of your redemption; who live and reign with you and the Holy Spirit, One God now and forever. Amen
(Thomas Aquinas, SBH, LBW)
1 With my voice I cry out to the Lord;
with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
I tell my trouble before him.
3 When my spirit faints within me, you know my way!
In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me;
no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul.
5 I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me!
7 Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name!
The righteous will surround me,
for you will deal bountifully with me.
Psalm 142 – English Standard Version
