O worship the King, all glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

The reading
Be still for a moment, and let the day wait. Listen for what Jesus wants to say to you first.
No Gospel is published for this date.
Micah 7:7–9
But I will look towards the Lord. I will wait for God, my Savior. My God will hear me. You, my enemy, should not rejoice over me because I have fallen. I will rise up, when I sit in darkness. The Lord is my light. I will carry the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he may judge my case and execute judgment for me. He will lead me into the light. I will behold his justice.
Reflection
What stood out to you, even if you do not know why?
What would you like to tell Jesus?
Silence
Be still for a minute. You do not have to say anything.

Ant. Lord Jesus, let the first word of my day be spoken to you.
For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
Ant. Lord Jesus, let the first word of my day be spoken to you.
