PRAYER

(To be prayed in light of the Daily Aspiration.)

‍

ANTIPHON

Remember, not O Lord our or our parents' offences: neither take vengeance of our sins.

‍

Psalm 129 [130 in some translations] - ("De Profundis")

Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord: Lord hear my voice.

Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If Thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

But there is forgiveness with Thee: because of Thy law I wait for Thee, O Lord.

My soul waiteth on His word: my soul hopeth in the Lord.

From the morning watch even until night let Israel hope in the Lord:

For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plentiful redemption.

And He shall redeem Israel, from all their iniquities.

‍

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

DAILY TABLE READING:

Listen to this when you are able. For a true monastic experience, try playing it while you are breaking your fast (during your meal of the day).
