psalm-prayer, daily office brievery —– surround your people, Lord, within the safety of your church, which you preserve on its rock foundation.  Do not let us stretch out our hands to evil deeds, nor be destroyed by the insidious snares of the enemy, but bring us to share the lot of the saints in light. —– Antiphon:  “unless you acquire the heart of a child                  you cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
