Jubilate Deo
Psalm c.
O BE joyful in the Lord, all ye lands; serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
LORD, please help this nation find its joy in you rather than things. Restore service to you to our common life, and help us come into your presence with song.
Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Jesus, please restore to our common life in this nation a hunger for you and the knowledge that you are God. Restore to this nation the knowledge that you have made us, that we are your people, and the sheep of your hand.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
Father, we long to go through your narrow gate and come into your courts with praise. Help us to be a people mindful of your goodness and a desire to speak good of the name of Jesus.
For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
Holy Spirit, thank you for your grace: thank you for visiting us daily with your word; thank you for your mercy: thank you for not abandoning us when we have abandoned you. Please let the truth of the gospel endure in this nation and in your church from generation to generation. Thank you.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son; and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be; world without end. Amen.
Amen.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8 )
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
Collect for the Community of St. Mary:
Almighty God, who chose the blessed Virgin Mary to be the Mother of your Incarnate Son, grant to us your servants who bear her name so to yield ourselves to the operation of the Holy Spirit that we may be acceptable in your sight and may bring forth to you the fruit of good works, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Fifth Day: For Consecration to a Life of Mediating Healing Love
Gracious Father, your Son Jesus calls us to heal the broken-hearted, to dry the tears of those who mourn, to give hope to those who despair, to rejoice in your steadfast love. Call forth from among us Sisters of St. Mary to mediate the healing love of Jesus Christ poured out through his Holy Spirit. Amen.
