Nones (Mid-Afternoon Prayer) for the Winter Ember Saturday after the Third Sunday of Advent

℣. O God, make speed to save us. ℟. O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Alleluia.

The Psalm

Psalm 126. In convertendo.

WHEN the LORD turned again the captivity of Sion, *     then were we like unto them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, *     and our tongue with joy. Then said they among the heathen, *     The LORD hath done great things for them. Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us already; *     whereof we rejoice. Turn our captivity, O LORD, *     as the rivers in the south. They that sow in tears *     shall reap in joy. He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, *     shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

The Chapter

From the rising of the sun to its setting my Name shall be great among the nations, and in every place incense shall be offered to my Name, and a pure offering; for my Name shall be great among the nations, says the Lord of Hosts. Malachi 1:11

℟. Thanks be to God.

The Prayers

Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

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.

℣. Lord, hear our prayer; ℟. And let our cry come unto thee.

Let us pray.
