Office of Readings, 05-13-2024, Monday, Seventh Week of Easter

Original music ©2023, V.J. Tarantino, to text from St. Ambrose, On Flight from the World:

Let us take refuge like deer
beside the fountain of waters.
Let our soul thirst, as David thirsted,
for the fountain.
Let my soul say to this fountain:
When shall I come and see you face to face?
For the fountain is God himself.

Sacred Beauty common prayer: Sacred Beauty is an Approved Private Association of the Faithful in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, devoted to allowing the beauty and holiness of God to be made present in the world, first through Eucharistic contemplation, then through artistic and intellectual creativity and receptivity informed by and dedicated to Jesus in the Eucharist. We pray the Office of Readings and Evening Prayer daily on YouTube; click “open transcript” to pray with us.

With gratitude to the administration of St. John XXIII Parish, West Haven, CT, for permitting us to record our prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in their beautiful church of St. John Vianney.
