Morning Prayer
Psalm 63
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
(Psalm 63: 1-5, 7-8)
🛐 Prayer 🛐
O Lord of love, who created the entire universe! This morning my thoughts seek only You. My heart yearns to behold Your divine face. Along with all creation, I praise, worship, and adore You. I offer You my thanks.
Our Risen Lord! Send Your Holy Spirit into us and grant us courage and wisdom. Deliver us from all the snares of the evil one. Just as Mary Magdalene recognized You in the garden tomb, grant us the grace to recognize You in the people we meet today. Help us not to cling to worldly affairs but to prioritize Your divine word.
O God of mercy!
On this day, as we remember Saint Mary Magdalene, called the ‘Apostle of Hope,’ we especially pray for the countless people who are deeply immersed in the mire of sin, struggling to escape. We intercede that they may cast off their sins, repent, and walk in Your path as children of love.
