From “Common Prayer: A Liturgy For Ordinary Radicals” (April 19, p. 244-245)

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 bow down and bend the knee: let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Alabare! Alabare! Alabare a mi Senor: Praise to the Lord! Praise to the Lord! Sing praises now, forevermore.

Psalm 96:1-4, 11-13
Sing to the Lord a new song: sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.
Sing to the Lord and bless his name: proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations: and his wonders among all peoples.
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised: he is more to be feared than all gods.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it: let the field be joyful and all that is therein.
Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the Lord when he comes: when he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness: and the peoples with his truth.

Alabare! Alabare! Alabare a mi Senor: Praise to the Lord! Praise to the Lord! Sing praises now, forevermore.

Exodus 34:1-17 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Alabare! Alabare! Alabare a mi Senor: Praise to the Lord! Praise to the Lord! Sing praises now, forevermore.

An aboriginal activist sister said, “If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us walk together.”

Prayers for Others

Lord’s Prayer
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, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Lord of the captive and Lord of the free, fill our voices with songs that proclaim hope, joy, and justice for all creation. Guide us this day to walk alongside the oppressed as fellow sojourners. 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. Amen
