My soul shall be filled as with a banquet, *
my mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed I remember you. *
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help; *
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

INTERCESSIONS
Brethren, let us pray to the Lord Jesus, who is meek and humble of heart. Let us ask him:
Most loving Lord, have mercy on us.
Jesus, the fullness of divinity dwells in you,
– give us a share in your divine life.
Jesus, in you are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,
– make known to us through your Church the manifold wisdom of God.
Jesus, the Father was well pleased in you,
– help us to hear your word and keep it.
Jesus, of your fullness we have all received,
– pour out upon us in abundance the Father’s favor and truth.
Jesus, you are the source of life and holiness,
– make us holy and blameless in love.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
(Remember us, Lord, when you come into your kingdom, and teach us to pray:)
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
CONCLUDING PRAYER
Grant, we pray, almighty God,
that we, who glory in the Heart of your beloved Son
and recall the wonders of his love for us,
may be made worthy to receive
an overflowing measure of grace
from that fount of heavenly gifts.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
– Amen.
DISMISSAL
If a priest or deacon presides, he dismisses the people:
The Lord be with you.
– And with your spirit.
May almighty God bless you,
the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
– Amen.
Another form of the blessing may be used, as at Mass.
Then he adds:
Go in peace.
– Thanks be to God.
In the absence of a priest or deacon and in individual recitation, Morning Prayer concludes:
May the Lord + bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
– Amen.
