Daily Prayers for May 19

O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you

as the day rises to meet the sun.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Come, let us sing to the Lord : let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Song “Vamos Todos al Banquete”

God is good all the time : all the time, God is good.

Psalm 95:1 – 5

Come, let us sing to the Lord : let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God : and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the caverns of the earth : and the heights of the hills are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it : and his hands have molded the dry land.

God is good all the time : all the time, God is good.

Numbers 22:1 – 21 Luke 8:26 – 39

God is good all the time : all the time, God is good.

Paulo Freire wrote in his Pedagogy of the Oppressed, “To speak a true word is to transform the world.”

Prayers for Others

Our Father

More often than not, Lord, we are afraid of truth. It threatens the identities we have created for ourselves and the ways we are comfortable perceiving others. Give us ears to hear your truth as blessing and mouths to celebrate your truth as gift. Amen.

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.
