Evening Prayer for Wednesday in Ordinary Time, the Memorial of Saint Charles Borromeo, Bishop

God, come to my assistance. — Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.

HYMN

Resplendent model for us all, Receive the humble praise we sing, For while we spread your great renown We praise God’s wondrous work of grace.

For our eternal Priest and Lord Restored to God our fallen race, And by his death as mortal man, Atoned for us, became our peace.

Christ chose you in his tender love To be the steward of his grace, To give his Father glory due, And to all peoples lasting life.

[He raised you to the royal height Of teacher, priest and sacrifice That by your ev’ry word and work His image should be seen in you.]

[Made richer by the Spirit’s grace, Who consecrated you apart, You nourished all Christ’s little ones On food for everlasting life.]

From your high throne in heaven’s light Remember holy Church’s needs, That all Christ’s sheep may follow him To pastures of eternal bliss.

All glory to the Trinity, Who crown you with your merit’s joy, Who have deserved the recompense Of servant worthy of his Lord. Amen.

PSALMODY

Ant. 1 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Psalm 126 Joyful hope in God Just as you share in sufferings so you will share in the divine glory (2 Corinthians 1:7).

When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage, it seemed like a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, on our lips there were songs.

The heathens themselves said: “What marvels the Lord worked for them!” What marvels the Lord worked for us! Indeed we were glad.

Deliver us, O Lord, from our bondage as streams in dry land. Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap.

They go out, they go out, full of tears, carrying seed for the sowing: they come back, they come back, full of song, carrying their sheaves.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Psalm-prayer

Lord, you have raised us from the earth; may you let the seeds of justice, which we have sown in tears, grow and increase in your sight. May we reap in joy the harvest we hope for patiently.

Ant. Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

Ant. 2 May the Lord build our house and guard our city.

Psalm 127 Apart from God our labors are worthless You are God’s building (1 Corinthians 3:9).

If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor; if the Lord does not watch over the city, in vain does the watchman keep vigil.

In vain is your earlier rising, your going later to rest, you who toil for the bread you eat: when he pours gifts on his beloved while they slumber.

Truly sons are a gift from the Lord, a blessing, the fruit of the womb. Indeed the sons of youth are like arrows in the hand of a warrior.

O the happiness of the man who has filled his quiver with these arrows! He will have no cause for shame when he disputes with his foes in the gateways.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Psalm-prayer

You command the seed to rise, Lord God, though the farmer is…
