VIGILS
When I wake I am still with You.
I think of you on my bed, and meditate on You in the watches of the night.
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night, also, my heart instructs me.

LAUDS
O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; I plead my case to you and watch.
This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
PRIME
To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust ... make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation, for you I wait all day long.
TERCE
We do our work for Jesus, with Jesus, to Jesus. And that's what keeps it simple (Mother Theresa)
Breathe on me, breath of God, fill me with life anew (Edwin Hatch)
SEXT
He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
NONE
Therefore, let nothing hinder us, nothing separate us, nothing come between us. Wherever we are, in every place, at every hour, at every moment of the day, everyday and continually, let all of us ... hold in our heart and love, honor, adore, serve, praise, and bless, glorify and exalt, magnify and give thanks (Francis of Assisi)
VESPERS
My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
COMPLINE
The Lord Almighty grant us a peaceful night and a perfect end.
May God support us all day long until the shadows lengthen and the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is done. Then, in God's mercy, may God grant us safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at last.
