Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia. HYMNLet us sing gratefully, praising angel guardians Whom God's providence gives to protect us all. For they watch over us lest we are led astray By the wiles of the enemy. For since proud Lucifer, banished from heaven's court, Became a rebel prince, keen to avenge himself, His bitter jealousy seeks to prevent our race From attaining its destiny. Hasten to succor us, watchful custodian; Keep all calamities from those who trust in you, Let nothing trouble us, dangers, anxieties, Counsel us in perplexity. All praise eternally be to the Trinity, Whose one Omnipotence rules all created things, Whose glory infinite reigns in supremacy Outside time and the centuries. Amen. 𝄞"Let Us Sing Gratefully" by Kathleen Lundquist, Sara Faux • Title: Let Us Sing Gratefully; Text: from Latin; Attr. to Robert Bellarmine; Tr.

PSALMODY Ant. 1 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, to rescue them. Psalm 34 God the savior of the just You have tasted the sweetness of the Lord (1 Peter 2:3). I I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise always on my lips; in the Lord my soul shall make its boast. The humble shall hear and be glad. Glorify the Lord with me. Together let us praise his name. I sought the Lord and he answered me; from all my terrors he set me free. Look towards him and be radiant; let your faces not be abashed. This poor man called; the Lord heard him and rescued him from all his distress. The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere him, to rescue them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. He is happy who seeks refuge in him. Revere the Lord, you his saints. They lack nothing, those who revere him. Strong lions suffer want and go hungry but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Ant. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, to rescue them. Ant. 2 Our God is a living God, for his angel has protected me. II Come, children, and hear me that I may teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is he who longs for life and many days, to enjoy his prosperity? Then keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn aside from evil and do good; seek and strive after peace. The Lord turns his face against the wicked to destroy their remembrance from the earth. The Lord turns his eyes to the just and his ears to their appeal. They call and the Lord hears and rescues them in their distress. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; those whose spirit is crushed he will save. Many are the trials of the just man but from them all the Lord will rescue him. He will keep guard over all his bones, not one of his bones shall be broken. Evil brings death to the wicked; those who hate the good are doomed. The Lord ransoms the souls of his servants. Those who hide in him shall not be condemned.
