Psalter Cycle Saved!

Reading Cycle Saved!

Reading Length Saved!

Reading Audio Saved!

Canticle Rotation Saved!

Advanced Settings

Visual Theme Saved!

Use light mode or dark mode, or default to your computer's setting for light or dark mode

Substitute Sunday/Holy Day (Eucharistic) Lectionary Saved!

On Sundays and major holy days, do you want to use the standard Daily Office readings or substitute the 3-year Sunday/Holy Day cycle? When the Daily Office is used for the principal service of a church, the prayer book instructs you to replace the Daily Office readings with the three year cycle of Sunday and Holy Day readings. This is generally done only in churches and not when using the Daily Office as a personal devotion at home.

Confession Intro Length Saved!

Use either the short or long exhortation before the confession.

Absolution Style Saved!

After the confession, read an absolution suitable for a priest or a prayer suitable for a deacon or lay person.

Morning Prayer Invitatory Saved!

Open with the Venite (Psalm 95) always (traditional), have a special celebratory invitatory on Sundays and feasts (Pascha Nostrum during Eastertide or Jubilate/Psalm 100 otherwise), or rotate between the normal and celebratory invitatory each day. Regardless of which setting you choose, the Pascha Nostrum is always used during the first week of Easter, and the invitatory will never be the same as one of the day's appointed psalms.

Reading Headings Saved!

Show or hide headings from the English Standard Version of the Bible in scripture readings

Language Style for Prayers Saved!

Traditional and contemporary language options are available for the Kyrie (Lord have mercy) and the Lord's Prayer

National Holiday Collects Saved!

Show country-specific commemorations for the United States, Canada, or both.

Evening Prayer Suffrages Saved!

Choose which set of short prayers to be used each evening

Additional Collects Saved!

Use a different collect for each day of the week, or use the same two collects (from the classic prayer books) each day.

Prayers in the Time of An Election Saved!

Include election related collects until the U.S. General election. (Automatically disabled if only Canadian feasts are selected).

Prayers in the Time of Pandemic Saved!

Include a rotating set of collects for the duration of this pandemic

Great Litany at Morning Prayer Saved!

Include the Great Litany after the collects at Morning Prayer

Great Litany at Evening Prayer Saved!

Include the Great Litany after the collects at Evening Prayer

General Thanksgiving Saved!

Pray the General Thanksgiving at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer

Prayer of St. John Chrysostom Saved!

Pray the Prayer of St. John Chrysostom at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer. This prayer is suitable when praying in a group.

The Grace Saved!

Rotate each day through the three provided conclusions, or always use the same one from the classic prayer books.

Advent "O" Antiphons Saved!

The traditional "O" Antiphons are used before and after the first canticle in Evening Prayer during the last eight days of Advent. You can use literal translations of the original Latin, or the familiar paraphrases used in the hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"

Psalm 143

Domine, exaudi

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and consider my supplications;*

hearken to me, for your truth and righteousness' sake.

2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,*

for in your sight shall no one living be justified.

3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground;*

he has laid me in the darkness, like those who have been long dead.

4 Therefore my spirit faints within me,*

and my heart within me is desolate.

5 Yet I remember the time past; I muse upon all your works;*

indeed, I meditate on the works of your hands.

6 I stretch forth my hands to you;*

my soul gasps for you as a thirsty land.

7 Hear me, O Lord, and very soon, for my spirit grows faint;*

hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit.

8 O let me hear your loving-kindness in the morning, for in you have I put my trust;*

show me the way that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto you.

9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies,*

for I flee unto you to hide me.

10 Teach me to do the thing that pleases you, for you are my God;*

let your loving Spirit lead me forth into the land of righteousness.

11 Revive me, O Lord, for your Name's sake;*

and for your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

12 Of your goodness slay my enemies,*

and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
