Daytime Prayer
0802 Virgin Mary Feast
HYMN
At Midmorning
Now, Holy Spirit, come, descend,*
one with the Father and the Son;
come swiftly in and fill our hearts*
with your full flood of holiness.
In mind and mouth, with heart and tongue,*
with strength and sense, may praise resound,
May charity with ardor blaze*
and kindle others with its flame.
Now through your presence may we know*
and love the Father and the Son,
and you, the Spirit of them both,*
may we profess throughout all time. Amen.
At Midday
O mighty Ruler, God of truth,*
for days and seasons setting bounds,
you clothe with splendor morning light*
and midday skies with brilliant heat.
Extinguish flames of bitter strife,*
all harmful passion take away,
grant health unto our mortal frame,*
and on our hearts bestow true peace.
Most loving Father, hear our prayer,*
and you, O Christ coequal Son,
who with the Spirit Paraclete*
now reign for all eternity. Amen.
At Midafternoon
O God, our firm and steadfast strength,*
remaining in yourself unmoved,
you rule the span of daily light*
and guide the course of all the hours.
Bestow at eventide a light*
by which our life may never fail;
may endless glory be the crown*
that follows on a holy death.
Most loving Father, hear our prayer,*
and you, O Christ, coequal Son,
who with the Spirit Paraclete*
now reign for all eternity. Amen.
