Tuesday · The sixth hour, noon
The sixth hour: the hour Christ was nailed to the cross, a pause at the height of the day.
The psalms for this hour are not in the library’s files for this day.
O God of truth, O Lord of might,Who orderest time and change aright,Who send’st the early morning ray,And light’st the glow of perfect day:
Extinguish thou each sinful fire,And banish every ill desire;And while thou keep’st the body whole,Shed forth thy peace upon the soul.
Almighty Father, hear our cry,Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
R.br. I will bless the Lord at all times.
R. I will bless the Lord at all times.
V. His praise shall be always in my mouth.
R. At all times.
R. I will bless the Lord at all times.
