Vespers - Evening Prayer, 02-21-2025, Friday, Thirty-Fourth Week of Ordinary Time

Praise the Lord! ye heavens adore Him; Praise Him angels, in the height; Sun and moon, rejoice before Him; Praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise the Lord! for He has spoken; Worlds His mighty voice obeyed; Laws which never shall be broken For their guidance He has made. Worship, honor, glory, blessing, Lord, we offer unto Thee; Young and old, Thy praise expressing, In glad homage bend the knee. All the saints in Heav'n adore thee, We would bow before Thy throne; As Thine angels serve before Thee, So on earth Thy will be done. 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.
