Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, Who is and Who was and Who is to come

Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


Let us bless the Father and the Son with the Holy Spirit:


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


Sing praise to our God, all you His servants and you who fear God, the small and the great.


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


Let heaven and earth praise Him Who is glorious


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


And every creature that is in heaven and on earth and under earth and in the sea and those which are in them.


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


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


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


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


Let us praise and glorify Him forever.


Let us pray:


All-powerful, most holy, most high, and supreme God:


all good,


supreme good,


totally good,


You Who alone are good; may we give You all praise, all glory, all thanks, all honor:


all blessing,


and all good things.


So be it.


So be it.


Amen.


O OUR most holy FATHER,


Our Creator, Redeemer, Consoler, and Savior


WHO ARE IN HEAVEN:


In the angels and in the saints,


Enlightening them to love, because You, Lord, are light


Inflaming them to love, because You, Lord, are love


Indwelling and filling them with happiness, because You, Lord, are the Supreme Good,


the Eternal Good


from Whom comes all good


without Whom there is no good.


HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME:


Mav our knowledge of You become ever clearer that we may know the breadth of Your blessings


the length of Your promises


the height of Your majesty


the depth of Your judgments.


YOUR KINGDOM COME:


So that You may rule in us through Your grace


and enable us to come to Your kingdom


where there is an unclouded vision of You


a perfect love of You


a blessed campanionship with You


an eternal enjoyment of You.


YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN


HEAVEN:


That we may love You with our whole heart by always thinking


of You


with our whole soul by always desiring You


with our whole mind by directing all our


intentions to You and by seeking Your


glory in everything


and with our whole strength by spending all our energies and affections


of soul and body


in the service of Your love


and of nothing else


and may we love our neighbors as ourselves


by drawing them all with our whole strength to Your love


by rejoicing in the good fortunes of others as well as our


own


and by sympathizing with the misfortunes of others


and by giving offense to no one.


GIVE US THIS DAY:


in memory and understanding and reverence


of the love which You in our Lord Jesus Christ had for us


and of those things which He said and did and suffered for us.


OUR DAILY BREAD:


Your own Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.


AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES:


Through Your ineffable mercy


through the power of the Passion of Your Beloved Son together with the merits and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all Your chosen ones.


AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST


US:


And whatever we do not forgive perfectly, do you, Lord, enable us to forgive to the full so that we may truly love our enemies and fervently intercede for them before You returning no one evil for evil


and striving to help everyone in You.


AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION


Hidden or obvious


Sudden or persistent.


BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL


Past, present and to come.


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. Amen.
