The Morning Office

Preparation

Thanks be to you, Jesus Christ;

you have brought me from the night,

into the glad light of this day,

to win everlasting life for my soul,

through the blood you shed for me.

Praise be to you, Lord God, for ever,

for the blessings you have poured on me –

my food, my speech, my work, my health.

God of the poor,

Christ of the wounds,

shield me from sin,

shield me from ill.^326

The Psalm(s)

Glory to the Father......
