PRAYERS

PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures
where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me,
he restores my soul.

He guides me along the right path;
he is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness
no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and staff;
with these you give me comfort.

You have prepared a banquet for me
in the sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.

LET NOTHING DISTURB THEE
Let nothing disturb thee,
Nothing afright thee,
All things are passing,
God never changes,
He who possesses God in nothing is wanting;
God alone suffices.
