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.

【R】:Whom you teach by means of your law.
At Midday
Scripture Reading [Is 59, 21]
My Spirit which is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your children or out of the mouth of your children's children, says the Lord, from this time forth and for evermore.
【V】:Behold, I have put my words into your mouth.
【R】:Behold, I have set you over peoples and kingdoms.

Scripture Reading [Mal. 2, 6]
True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.

【R】:For you, O God, are my salvation.
Concluding Prayer
Almighty God, you have enlightened your Church by the merits and teachings of Saint Dominic, your confessor and our father. Giant, by his intercession, that she may never lack temporal help but grow ever richer in spiritual blessings: we ask this through our Lord Jesus. Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
