Psalm Prayer Que el incienso de nuestra oración de arrepentimiento suba a ti, oh Señor, y que tu bondad descienda sobre nosotros, para que con mentes purificadas podamos cantar tus alabanzas con la iglesia en la tierra y con toda la corte celestial y podamos alabarte por siempre jamás. Amén.

Psalm Psalm 121

The Assisting Minister introduces the refrain; the congregation repeats it. The Assisting Minister/choir then alternates with the congregation on the verses. Subsequent refrains are sung only once by all, at the places indicated by R. Refrain Tone I lift up my eyes | to the hills; from where is my | help to come? 2My help comes | from the Lord, the maker of heav- | en and earth. 3The Lord will not let your | foot be moved nor will the one who watches over you | fall asleep. 4Behold, the keep- | er of Israel will neither slum- | ber nor sleep; R 5the Lord watches | over you; the Lord is your shade at | your right hand; 6the sun will not strike | you by day, nor the | moon by night. 7The Lord will preserve you | from all evil and will | keep your life. 8The Lord will watch over your going out and your | coming in, from this time forth for- | evermore.

Psalm Prayer O God, maker of heaven and earth, you help us in times of distress and watch over us day and night. Hold us securely in your mercy, that in the midst of fear and danger we may depend on you, our sure deliver; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

Word

First Reading

1 Corintios 12:26

Si uno de los miembros sufre, los demás comparten su sufrimiento; y, si uno de ellos recibe honor, los demás se alegran con él.

1 Corinthians 12:26

If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.

Brief Reflection

Second Reading Micah 6:8

He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love

kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Miqueas 6:8 ¡Ya se te ha declarado lo que es bueno! Ya se te ha dicho lo que de ti espera el Señor: Practicar la justicia, amar la misericordia, y humillarte ante tu Dios.

Prayers

Help, save, comfort, and defend us, gracious Lord.

Giving thanks for all who have gone before us and are at rest, rejoicing in the communion of all the saints, we commend ourselves, one another, and our whole life to you, O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Oh Dios, de quien proceden todos los deseos santos, todos los buenos consejos y todas las obras justas: da a tus siervos aquella paz que el mundo no puede dar, a fin de que nuestros corazones se inclinen a obedecer tus mandamientos; y que, defendidos del temor de nuestros enemigos, podamos vivir en paz y tranquilidad; por los méritos de Jesucristo nuestro Salvador, que vive y reina contigo y con el Espíritu Santo, Dios por siempre. Amén.
