Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

MIDDAY PRAYER
George IV by John Singleton Copley
Psalm 15:2-5
He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
He who walks blamelessly and does justice;
who thinks the truth in his heart
and slanders not with his tongue.
He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
Who harms not his fellow man,
nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;
By whom the reprobate is despised,
while he honors those who fear the Lord.
He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
Who lends not his money at usury
and accepts no bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
shall never be disturbed.
He who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

Matthew 7:6, 12-14
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not give what is holy to dogs,
or throw your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them underfoot,
and turn and tear you to pieces.
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the Law and the Prophets.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.”

The last line of the song : ” It was long ago and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today”.
Jim Steinman reused that phrase in objects in the rear view mirror.
“but it was long ago and it was far away
oh god it seems so very far
and if life is just a highway
then the soul is just a car”

A Prayer to Holy Guardian Angels
Heavenly Father,
Your infinite love for us has chosen a blessed angel in
heaven
and appointed him our guide during this earthly
pilgrimage.
Accept our thanks for so great a blessing.
Grant that we may experience the assistance
of our holy protector in all our necessities.
And you, holy, loving angel and guide,
watch over us with all the tenderness of your angelic
heart.
Keep us always on the way that leads to heaven,
and cease not to pray for us
until we have attained our final destiny, eternal
salvation.
Then we shall love You for all eternity.
We shall praise and glorify You unceasingly
for all the good You have done for us while here on earth.
Especially be a faithful and watchful protector of our
children.
Take our place, and supply what may be wanting to us
through human frailty, short-sightedness, or sinful
neglect.
Lighten, O you perfect servants of God, our heavy task.
Guide our children,
that they may become like unto Jesus,
may imitate Him faithfully,
and persevere till they attain eternal life.
Amen
May all our Gaurdian angels watch over our friends Bett , JWoo and Della
while they are away
EVENING PRAYER
King David Playing the Harp by Peter Paul Rubens
Psalm113
Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
from this time forth and for evermore.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
the LORD’s name is to be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens.
Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven,
and in the earth!
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
That he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children.
Praise ye the LORD.

King David by by Domenichino
David, King of Israel, is possibly one of the most interesting characters in all of Scripture. He was a shepherd, the Lord’s anointed, giant-killer, loyal friend, singer of psalms, ambitious king, repentant sinner, and founder of the House of David, from which Jesus was descended. David is such an important person from the Old Testament, his story is found in the books of Samuel.
God instructed Samuel to anoint David, a shepherd boy and the youngest son of Jesse of Bethlehem. David was an unexpected choice, but the Lord told Samuel, “The LORD does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) Well-known as a skilled musician, David was sent to heal King Saul from headaches with music from his harp and his singing. Soon, David became part of King Saul’s household and the best friend of Jonathan, Saul’s son.
Shortly thereafter, David bravely confronted Goliath, a giant Philistine soldier, whom he killed using only his shepherd’s sling, a stone, and his faith in God. That made him tremendously popular, and Saul became jealous. He sent David away, but many soldiers followed him. A civil war erupted between the House of Saul and the House of David. David would ultimately emerge victorious as King of Israel.
David was a good king who wanted to honor God. He brought the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 6:1–19) He wanted to build God a temple, but God sent the prophet Nathan to tell David he would not be the one to build it.
David, however, was not perfect. He had an affair with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, one of his officers. When she became pregnant, David arranged for Uzziah to be killed in battle. (2 Samuel 11:1–17) For this sin, David was punished. His favorite son, Absalom, rose up against David, only to be killed while fighting against his father. Eventually, David repented and received God’s forgiveness. He ruled well for the rest of his years as king. Another son, Solomon, ruled long and wisely after him, building the temple for God that his father had wanted to build.
