In manus tuas Pater (30)
In manus tuas Pater, commendo spiritum meum,
in manus tuas Pater, commendo spiritum meum
Behüte mich, Gott (137)
Behüte mich, Gott, ich vertraue dir,
du zeigst mir den Weg zum Leben.
Bei dir ist Freude, Freude in Fülle.
Protect me, God, I trust in you,
you show me the way to life.
With you is joy, joy in abundance.
Psalm 97 - Señor, que florezca tu justicia (154)
Señor, que florezca tu justicia,
y tu paz empape la tierra.
O Dios, que florezca tu justicia,
y se llene nuestra vida de ti.
Signore che fiorisca la tua giustizia,
e che la tua pace avvolga la terra.
Dio che fiorisca la tua giustizia,
e la nostra vita si riempia di te.
5 Sing praise to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and melodious singing.
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
sing joyfully to the King, the Lord.
7 Let the sea resound and everything in it,
the world and all its inhabitants.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands
and the mountains shout for joy.
9 Let them sing before the Lord, who is coming,
coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice
and the nations with fairness.
Alleluja
From the Gospel according to s. Luke
Lk 21,5-19
When some people were talking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and votive offerings, Jesus remarked, 6 “As for all these things that you are gazing at now, the time will come when not one stone here will be left upon another; everything will be thrown down.”
7 They then asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what will be the sign that it is about to take place?” 8 He answered, “Take care not to be deceived. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified, for those things are bound to take place first, but the end will not follow immediately.”
10 Then he added, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be tremendous earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places, as well as dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.
12 “But before all this happens, they will seize you and persecute you. You will be handed over to synagogues and imprisoned, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. 13 This will give you an opportunity to bear witness to me. 14 But do not even consider preparing your defense beforehand, 15 for I myself will give you a depth of wisdom and eloquence that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
16 “You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death. 17 You will be hated by all because of my name, 18 but not a hair of your head will be lost. 19 By standing firm you will gain life.
Silence
After the silence, anyone who wishes may light a candle and stand before the cross in adoration.
Tu sei sorgente viva (39)
Tu sei sorgente viva, tu sei fuoco, sei carità.
Vieni Spirito Santo, vieni Spirito Santo.
You are the living source, you are fire, you are charity.
Come Holy Spirit, come Holy Spirit.
Sanasi on lamppu (160)
Sanasi on lamppu valo askeleillani
Your word is a lamp and a light for my steps.
Confitemini Domino (18)
Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus!
Confitemini Domino: Alleluia!
Intercessions - Kyrie
Lord, even in this night, many people are homeless, without refuge, without hope. Others are tortured by war and deprivation. Crimes are committed, injustice and violence reign. Give us the strength to fight every day for justice and peace.
The perseverance in the pursuit of peace is the hallmark of our Christian existence. Trust in the risen Christ is an invitation to hope and patience. The Lord, master of history, will bring all things to fulfillment. Give us hope every day to persevere in the pursuit of peace.
For many, daily life is difficult, and for many, earning their living by working and maintaining their dignity seems an unattainable goal. Grant us the grace to be a traveling companion for every woman and every man who seeks justice, peace, work, and solidarity.
Nada te turbe (50)
Nada te, nada te espante,
quien a Dios tiene nada le falta.
Nada te turbe, nada te espante:
solo Dios basta
Let nothing frighten you, let nothing frighten you;
he who has God lacks nothing.
Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you:
God alone suffices.
Lets pray together
Accept, O Mother of us all,
this prayer of ours.
You, guide of every man,
do not let us drown
in the storm of war.
You, mother of patience,
inspire plans and paths of reconciliation.
You, woman of justice,
restore God's harmony to the world.
Extinguish hatred, quell vengeance,
teach us forgiveness,
free us from war and hunger.
You, mother of silence,
reawaken in us the need to pray
and to love.
Protect the human family
and show peoples
the path of peaceful coexistence
and fraternity.
Voici Dieu qui vient à mon secours (142)
Voici Dieu qui vient à mon secours,
le Seigneur avec ceux qui me soutiennent.
Je te chante, toi qui me relèves.
Je te chante, toi qui me relèves.
Here is God who comes to my aid,
the Lord with those who support me.
I sing to you, you who lift me up.
I sing to you, you who lift me up.
Our father
Questa notte (26)
Questa notte non è più notte davanti a Te,
il buio come luce risplende
This night is no longer night before You,
the darkness shines like light
