Grief

A Prayer:

Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be
whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept
joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the
glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A Reading

	121 Levavi oculos

1	I lift up my eyes to the hills; * from where is my help to come?

2	My help comes from the LORD, * the maker of heaven and earth.

3	He will not let your foot be moved * and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.

4	Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel * shall neither slumber nor sleep;

5	The LORD himself watches over you; * the LORD is your shade at your right hand,

6	So that the sun shall not strike you by day, * nor the moon by night.

7	The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; * it is he who shall keep you safe.

8	The LORD shall watch over your going out and your coming in, * from this time forth for evermore.
