From The General Instructions on the Liturgy of the Hours, an Exhortation

20. The liturgy of the hours, like other liturgical services, is not a private matter but belongs

to the whole Body of the Church, whose life it both expresses and affects. [91] This liturgy

stands out most strikingly as an ecclesial celebration when, through the bishop surrounded

 by his priests and ministers, [92] the local Church celebrates it. For "in the local Church the

one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church is truly present and at work." [93] Such a celebra-

tion is therefore most earnestly recommended. When, in the absence of the bishop, a chapter 

of canons or other priests celebrate the liturgy of the hours, they should always respect thetrue time of day and, as far as possible, the people should take part. The same is to be said

of collegiate chapters.

21. Wherever possible, other groups of the faithful should celebrate the liturgy of the hours

communally in church. This especially applies to parishes - the cells of the diocese, estab-

lished under their pastors, taking the place of the bishop; they "represent in some degree the

visible Church established throughout the world." [94]22. Hence, when the people are invited to the liturgy of the hours and come together in

unity of heart and voice, they show forth the Church in its celebration of the mystery of 

Christ. [95] …

27. Lay groups gathering for prayer, apostolic work, or any other reason are encouraged to

fulfill the Church's duty, [103] by celebrating part of the liturgy of the hours. The laity must

learn above all how in the liturgy they are adoring God the Father in spirit and in truth;

[104] they should bear in mind that through public worship and prayer they reach all hu-

manity and can contribute significantly to the salvation of the whole world. [105]

evening, location TBD, see the blog or facebook!

 At this time the Priest/presider may ask the assembly to proclaim addi-

tional intercessions

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

PATER  NOSTER  

The Lord’s Prayer 

 Let us offer to God in Heaven that prayer which Jesus Christ His Son

 gave to us, keeping in mind our petitions, and prayers for pardon and 

 peace.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy King-

dom come. They will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us

this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we for-

give those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but

deliver us from evil.

DISMISSAL 

God our Father,

You have filled the hungry with the good things of heaven.

 Keep in mind your infinite compassion. Look upon our poverty:

 And let us share the riches of your life in love.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,

One God, forever and ever.

May the Lord bless us, () protect us from all evil and bring us to ever-lasting life.

-Amen

PSALMODY 

Antiphon 1

 Lord, how wonderful is your wisdom, so far beyond my understandings

Psalm 139: 1-18, 23-24God sees all that is

Who has known the mind of God, who has been his counselor?(Romans 11:34)

O Lord, you search me and you know me,

You know my resting and my rising,

You discern my purpose from afar.

You mark when I walk or lie down,All my ways lie open to you.

Before ever a word is on my tongue

You know it, O Lord, through and through.

Behind and before you besiege me,

Your hand ever laid upon me.

Too wonderful for me, this knowledge,

To high , beyond my reach.O where can I go from your spirit,

Or where can I flee from your face?

If I climb the heavens, you are there.

If I lie in the grave, you are there.

If I take the wings of the dawn

And dwell at the sea’s furthest end,

Even there your hand would lead me,

Your right hand would hold me fast.If I say: “Let the darkness hide me,

And the light around me be night,”

Even darkness is not dark for you

And the night is as clear as the day.

Glory to the father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit

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

All repeat Antiphon 1

INTERCESSIONS 

With joyful hearts, let us praise the Eternal Father whose mercy towa

his people is exalted to the heavens:

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

Remember, Lord, that you sent your Son into the world

To be its savior, not its judge.

Let his glorious death bring us salvat

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

You ordained your priests to be ministers of Christ and

Stewards of your marvelous gifts,

Fill them with fidelity, wisdom, and lo

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

You have called men and women to chastity for the sake

Of the kingdom,

Let them faithfully follow your S

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

From the beginning you intended husband and wife to be

One,

Keep all families united in sincere l

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

You sent Christ Jesus into the world to absolve the sins of 

Men,

Free all the dead from their s

Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.

MAGNIFICAT Antiphon

 Lord, with the strength of your arm scatter the proud and lift up the

lowly.

Canticle of Mary

The soul rejoices in the Lord

My soul proclaims () the greatness of the Lord,

My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour

For he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:The Almighty has done great things for me,

And holy is His Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him

In every generation

He has shown the strength of his arm,He has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,

And he has lifted up the lowly. 

He has filled the hungry with good things,

And the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel

For has remembered his promise of mercy,

The promise he made to our fathers,

To Abraham and his children for ever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

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

Antiphon 2

 I am the Lord: I search the mind and probe the heart; I give to each

as his deeds deserve.

II

For it was you who created my being,

Knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I thank you for the wonder of my being,

For the wonders of all your creation.

Already you knew my s

My body held no secret from

When I was being fashioned in seAnd molded in the depths of the ea

Your eyes saw all my actions,

They were all of them written in your book;

Every one of my days was decreed

Before one of them came into being.

To me , how mysterious your thoug

The sum of them not to be numbe

If I count them, they are more than the sa

To finish, I must be eternal, like y

O search me, God, and know my heart.

O test me and know my thoughts.

See that I follow not the wrong path

And lead me in the path of life eternal.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy SpAs it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever

You watch over heaven and earth, Lord Jesus. Your death brought lig

Antiphon 3

Through him all things were made; he holds all creation together inhimself 

Canticle Colossians 1:12-20

Christ the first-born of all creation and the first-born from the dead

Let us give thanks to the Father 

For having made you worthy

To share the lot of the saints

In light.

He rescued us

From the power of darkness

And brought us

Into the kingdom of his beloved son.

Through him we have redemption,

The forgiveness of our sins.He is the image of the invisible God,

The first-born of all creatures.

In him everything in heaven and on earth was

Created,

Things visible and invisible.

All were created through him;

All were created for him.

He is before all else that is.In him everything continues in being. 

It is he who is head of the body, the church!

He who is the beginning,

The first-born of the dead,

So that primacy may be his in everything.

It pleased God to make absolute fullness reside in him

And, by means of him, to reconcile everything in his person,Both on earth and in the heavens,

Making peace through the blood of his cross

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be fore

R EADING 

1 John 2

The way we can be sure of our knowledge of Christ is to keepcommandments. The man who claims, “I have known him,” w

out keeping his commandments, is a liar; in such a one there istruth. But whoever keeps his word, truly has the love of God b

made perfect in him. The way we can be sure we are in union whim is for the man who claims to abide in him to conduct him

 just as he did.

R ESPONSORY 

 Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye..

-Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye.

Gather us under the shadow of your wings and keep us,

-as the apple of your eye.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: 

-Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye.
