Psalm 1
1Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of
the wicked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor sat in the seats of the scornful!

2Their delight is in the law of the LORD, *
and they meditate on his law day and night.

3They are like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; *
everything they do shall prosper.

4It is not so with the wicked; *
they are like chaff which the wind blows away.

5Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when
judgment comes, *
nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.

6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, *
but the way of the wicked is doomed.

A Prayer Attributed to St. Francis
Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
