Almighty God, you called Fabian to be a faithful pastor and
servant of your people, and to lay down his life in witness to your Son: Grant
that we, strengthened by his example and aided by his prayers, may in times of
trial and persecution remain steadfast in faith and endurance, for the sake of
him who laid down his life for us all, Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those
who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue
with shouts of joy;
then they said
among the nations,
“The Lord has done
great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in
the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with
shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home
with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 91 – English Standard Version
