Psalm 123
1 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! 2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until he has mercy upon us. 3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. 4 Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.
Collect
Jesus,
God in human form,
we thank you for Joseph, Mary’s husband,
who treated you as a son;
we commend to you all those
who care for children not their own.
Amen.
Thanksgiving
Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)
Prayer
Our Father,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
God of peace,
be with us through this night which waits for us;
bless us if it brings us sleep;
support us if it brings us pain or anxiety,
till we come once more to the morning light of another day.
Amen
The Blessing
May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.
Amen
