Chapter 1
The Morning OfficeTo Be Observed on the Hour or Half Hour
Between 6 and 9 a.m.
The Call to Prayer
Give praise, you servants of the Lord;* praise the Name of the Lord.
The Request for Presence
Test me, O Lord, and try me;* examine my heart and mind.
The Greeting
All your works praise you, O Lord,* and your faithful servants bless you.
They make known the glory of your kingdom* and speak of your power.
The Refrain for the Morning Lessons
Those who sowed with tears* will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,* will come again with joy,
shouldering their sheaves.
A Reading
Jesus taught us, saying: "Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward. But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right hand is doing; your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you."
The Refrain
Those who sowed with tears* will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,* will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
The Morning PsalmWho Is Like You, O God?
Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens;* you have done great things; who is like you, O God?
You have showed me great troubles and adversities,* but you will restore my life and bring me up again from the deep places of the earth.
You strengthen me more and more;* you enfold and comfort me,
Therefore I will praise you upon the lyre for your faithfulness, O my God;* I will sing to you with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will sing with joy when I play to you,* and so will my soul, which you have redeemed.
My tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long,* for they are ashamed and disgraced who sought to do me harm.
The Refrain
Those who sowed with tears* will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,* will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.
The Cry of the Church
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
The Lord's Prayer
The Prayer Appointed for the Week
Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in me a new and contrite heart, that I, worthily lamenting my sins and acknowledging my wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Ý
The Concluding Prayer of the Church
Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen. Ý

Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The Call to Prayer
"Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord.
The Request for Presence
Hear the voice of my prayer when I cry out to you,* when I lift up my hands to your holy of holies.
The Greeting
Who is like you, Lord God of hosts?* O mighty Lord, your faithfulness is all around you.
The Refrain for the Midday Lessons
But it is good for me to be near God;* I have made the Lord God my refuge.
A Reading
Blow the ram's horn in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let everybody in the country tremble, for the Day of Yahweh is coming, yes, it is near. Day of darkness and gloom, Day of cloud and blackness. Like the dawn, across the mountains spreads a vast and mighty people, such as has never been before, such as will never be again to the remotest ages. . . . 'But now-declares Yahweh-come back to me with all your heart, fasting, weeping, mourning.' Tear your hearts and not your clothes, and come back to Yahweh your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in faithful love . . .
The Refrain
But it is good for me to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge.
The Midday PsalmI Will Thank You with an Unfeigned Heart
Happy are they whose way is blameless,* who walk in the law of the Lord!
Happy are they who observe his decrees* and seek him with all their hearts!
Who never do any wrong,* but always walk in his ways.
You laid down your commandments,* that we should fully keep them.
Oh, that my ways were made so direct* that I might keep your statutes!
Then I should not be put to shame,* when I regard all your commandments.
I will thank you with an unfeigned heart,* when I have learned your righteous judgments.
I will keep your statutes;* do not utterly forsake me.
The Refrain
But it is good for me to be near God;* I have made the Lord God my refuge.
The Cry of the Church
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.

Litany of Penance
Most holy and merciful Father:
I confess to you and to the whole communion of saints
in heaven and on earth,
that I have sinned by my own fault
in thought, word, and deed;
by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.
I have not loved you with my whole heart, and mind, and strength. I have not
loved my neighbors as myself. I have not forgiven others, as I have been forgiven.
Have mercy on me, Lord.
I have been deaf to your call to serve, as Christ served us. I have not been true to
the mind of Christ. I have grieved your holy spirit.
Have mercy on me, Lord.
I confess to you, Lord, all my past unfaithfulness: the pride, hypocrisy, and impatience of my life.
I confess to you, Lord.
My self-indulgent appetites and ways, and my exploitation of other people,
I confess to you, Lord.
My anger at my own frustration, and my envy of those more fortunate than I,
I confess to you, Lord.
My intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and my dishonesty in daily life and work,
I confess to you, Lord.
My negligence in prayer and worship, and my failure to commend the faith that is in me,
I confess to you, Lord.
Accept my repentance, Lord, for the wrongs I have done: for my blindness to human need and suffering, and my indifference to indulgence and cruelty,
Accept my repentance, Lord.
For all false judgments, for uncharitable thoughts toward my neighbors, and for my prejudice and contempt towards those who differ from me,
Accept my repentance, Lord.
For my waste and pollution of your creation, and my lack of concern for those who come after us,
Accept my repentance, Lord.
Restore me, good Lord, and let your anger depart from me,
Favorably hear me for your mercy is great.
Accomplish in me and all of your church the work of your salvation,
That I may show forth all your glory in the world.
By the cross and passion of your Son, our Lord,
Bring me with all your saints to the joy of his resurrection. Ý
The Refrain for the Vespers Lessons
Let your ways be known upon earth,* your saving health among all nations.
The Vespers PsalmSummon Me by Night
Weigh my heart, summon me by night,* melt me down; you will find no impurity in me.
I give no offense with my mouth as others do;* I have heeded the words of your lips.
My footsteps hold fast to the ways of your law;* in your paths my feet shall not stumble.
I call upon you, O God, for you will answer me;* incline your ear to me and hear my words.
Show me your marvelous loving-kindness,* O Savior of those who take refuge at your right hand from those who rise up against them.
Keep me as the apple of your eye;* hide me under the shadow of your wings.
The Refrain
Let your ways be known upon earth,* your saving health among all nations.
The Cry of the Church
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.

The Lord is King; let the people tremble;* he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake.

Be seated on your lofty throne, O Most High;* O Lord, judge the nations.
The Greeting
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations,* that we may give thanks to your holy Name and glory in your praise.
The Refrain for the Morning Lessons
Let all the earth fear the Lord;* let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him.
A Reading
Jesus taught us, saying: "So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration.

The Morning PsalmThe Just Shall Not Put Their Hands to Evil
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,* which cannot be moved, but stands fast for ever.
The hills stand about Jerusalem;* so does the Lord stand round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.
The scepter of the wicked shall not hold sway over the land allotted to the just,* so that the just shall not put their hands to evil.
The Refrain
Let all the earth fear the Lord;* let all who dwell in the world stand in awe of him.

The Midday OfficeTo Be Observed on the Hour or Half Hour

Sing to the Lord, you servants of his;* give thanks for the remembrance of his
holiness.
For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye,* his favor for a lifetime.
The Request for Presence
Look upon your covenant;* the dark places of the earth are haunts of violence.
The Greeting
O Lord, your love endures for ever;* do not abandon the works of your hands.
The Refrain for the Midday Lessons
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,* nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
A Reading
With what shall I enter Yahweh's presence and bow down before God All-high? Shall I enter with burnt offerings, with calves one year old? Will he be pleased with rams by the thousand, with ten thousand streams of oil? Shall I offer my eldest son for my wrong-doing, the child of my own body for my sin? You have already been told what is right and what Yahweh wants of you. Only this, to do what is right, to love loyalty and to walk humbly with your God.
The Refrain
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,* nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
The Midday PsalmHow Exalted Is Your Name
O Lord our Governor,* how exalted is your Name in all the world!
Out of the mouths of infants and children* your majesty is praised above the heavens.
You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries,* to quell the enemy and the avenger.
"A wise rabbi once told me that it is not how many prayers we don’t say that matters to God, but rather how many we do. That is important to all of us, but especially for beginners. If this is your first attempt to return to this most ancient of Christian practices, it is wise to remember that you are entering into a discipline and, like all disciplines, this one sits hard and heavy upon one at times. There are hours you will miss and/or some that you can’t even begin to figure out how to observe. That is all right, for either the joy will carry you into greater joy and transmute the discipline into privilege, or you will find yourself simply the wiser and the richer for such experience as you have had. As the rabbi said, that is what matters ultimately."
In her acclaimed trilogy , The Divine Hours, Phyllis Tickle introduced modern Christians to the time-honored practice of "praying the hours." In this exquisite new volume, she provides a vibrant program of prayer dedicated to the anticipation of Christ’s resurrection.
Beginning with Ash Wednesday and moving through Lent and on to Easter Sunday, Eastertide provides the daily prayers that bring practitioners into the full spirit of this season. Each day is filled with psalms, readings from the Bible, and hymns of praise and worship, just as they appear in the larger volume, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime. Newcomers to this beloved tradition will find that Eastertide is the perfect introduction to joining the ancients in the tradition of fixed-hour prayer.
