About today

Josaphat Kuncevyc (c. 1580–1623), a Basilian monk and bishop, labored for the unity of Orthodox and Catholic in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and was killed by a mob. The Church keeps his memorial on 12 November as a martyr for unity, not for a party. Blood was the price of a communion he would not abandon. Ask today for a love of the East and the West that will not treat schism as normal, and for the grace to seek one flock under one Shepherd.

Original – Prayer on Fire.

Psalm

Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever. The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Magnificat

Antiphon

He has scattered the proud; unclench our hearts before sleep.

Luke 1:46–55

Canticle

And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord. And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior. For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed. For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him. He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart. He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy, just as he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Antiphon

He has scattered the proud; unclench our hearts before sleep.
