Examination of conscience:

We are called to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men, in our hearts
and in our minds, in our actions and inactions. To do so, it is vital that we
examine our conscience daily and to ask for God�s mercy as we fall short and to ask
for His strength to do better.
Lord Jesus raise us to new life:

Lord, have mercy


� Lord have mercy

Lord Jesus, you forgive us our sins:


Christ, have mercy.
� Christ, have mercy.

Lord Jesus you feed us with your body and blood:


Lord, have mercy
� Lord have mercy

HYMN

O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder


Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:


How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander


And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:


How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

PSALMODY

Ant. 1 In you, my God, my body will rest in hope.

Psalm 16
God is my portion, my inheritance
The Father raised up Jesus from the dead and broke the bonds of death (Acts 2:24).
Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord: �You are my God.
My happiness lies in you alone.�

He has put into my heart a marvelous love


for the faithful ones who dwell in his land.
Those who choose other gods increase their sorrows.
Never will I offer their offerings of blood.
Never will I take their name upon my lips.

O Lord, it is you who are my portion and cup;


it is you yourself who are my prize.
The lot marked out for me is my delight:
welcome indeed the heritage that falls to me!

I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,


who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:
since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.

And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;


even my body shall rest in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay.

You will show me the path of life,


the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand happiness for ever.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,


and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.

Ant. In you, my God, my body will rest in hope.

Christ.
