Afternoon Prayer

PS 79:8, 9, 11 and 13 R. (Sirach 36:1b) Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness. Remember not against us the iniquities of the past; may your compassion quickly come to us, for we are brought very low. R. Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness. Help us, O God our savior, because of the glory of your name; Deliver us and pardon our sins for your name’s sake. R. Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness. Let the prisoners’ sighing come before you; with your great power free those doomed to death. Then we, your people and the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; through all generations we will declare your praise. R. Show us, O Lord, the light of your kindness.
