Inhaltsangabe

In her acclaimed trilogy, The Divine Hours, Phyllis Tickle introduced modern Christians to the time-honored practice of "praying the hours." In this exquisite new volume, she provides a vibrant program of prayer dedicated to the anticipation of Christ’s resurrection.

Beginning with Ash Wednesday and moving through Lent and on to Easter Sunday, Eastertide provides the daily prayers that bring practitioners into the full spirit of this season. Each day is filled with psalms, readings from the Bible, and hymns of praise and worship, just as they appear in the larger volume, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime. Newcomers to this beloved tradition will find that Eastertide is the perfect introduction to joining the ancients in the tradition of fixed-hour prayer.

"A wise rabbi once told me that it is not how many prayers we don’t say that matters to God, but rather how many we do. That is important to all of us, but especially for beginners. If this is your first attempt to return to this most ancient of Christian practices, it is wise to remember that you are entering into a discipline and, like all disciplines, this one sits hard and heavy upon one at times. There are hours you will miss and/or some that you can’t even begin to figure out how to observe. That is all right, for either the joy will carry you into greater joy and transmute the discipline into privilege, or you will find yourself simply the wiser and the richer for such experience as you have had. As the rabbi said, that is what matters ultimately."

Chapter 1

The Morning OfficeTo Be Observed on the Hour or Half Hour

Between 6 and 9 a.m.

The Call to Prayer

Give praise, you servants of the Lord;* praise the Name of the Lord.



The Request for Presence

Test me, O Lord, and try me;* examine my heart and mind.



The Greeting

All your works praise you, O Lord,* and your faithful servants bless you.

They make known the glory of your kingdom* and speak of your power.



The Refrain for the Morning Lessons

Those who sowed with tears* will reap with songs of joy.

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,* will come again with joy,

shouldering their sheaves.



A Reading

Jesus taught us, saying: "Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention; otherwise you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win human admiration. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward. But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right hand is doing; your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you."



The Refrain

Those who sowed with tears* will reap with songs of joy.

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,* will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

The Morning PsalmWho Is Like You, O God?

Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens;* you have done great things; who is like you, O God?

You have showed me great troubles and adversities,* but you will restore my life and bring me up again from the deep places of the earth.

You strengthen me more and more;* you enfold and comfort me,

Therefore I will praise you upon the lyre for your faithfulness, O my God;* I will sing to you with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.

My lips will sing with joy when I play to you,* and so will my soul, which you have redeemed.

My tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long,* for they are ashamed and disgraced who sought to do me harm.



The Refrain

Those who sowed with tears* will reap with songs of joy.

Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,* will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

The Cry of the Church

Christ, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.

The Lord's Prayer

The Prayer Appointed for the Week

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in me a new and contrite heart, that I, worthily lamenting my sins and acknowledging my wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Ý

The Concluding Prayer of the Church

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen. Ý

The Refrain for the Midday Lessons

But it is good for me to be near God;* I have made the Lord God my refuge.



A Reading

Blow the ram's horn in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let everybody in the country tremble, for the Day of Yahweh is coming, yes, it is near. Day of darkness and gloom, Day of cloud and blackness. Like the dawn, across the mountains spreads a vast and mighty people, such as has never been before, such as will never be again to the remotest ages. . . . 'But now-declares Yahweh-come back to me with all your heart, fasting, weeping, mourning.' Tear your hearts and not your clothes, and come back to Yahweh your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in faithful love . . .



The Refrain

But it is good for me to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge.

The Midday PsalmI Will Thank You with an Unfeigned Heart

Happy are they whose way is blameless,* who walk in the law of the Lord!

Happy are they who observe his decrees* and seek him with all their hearts!

Who never do any wrong,* but always walk in his ways.

You laid down your commandments,* that we should fully keep them.

Oh, that my ways were made so direct* that I might keep your statutes!

Then I should not be put to shame,* when I regard all your commandments.

I will thank you with an unfeigned heart,* when I have learned your righteous judgments.

I will keep your statutes;* do not utterly forsake me.



The Refrain

But it is good for me to be near God;* I have made the Lord God my refuge.

The Cry of the Church

Christ, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.

Litany of Penance

Most holy and merciful Father:

I confess to you and to the whole communion of saints

in heaven and on earth,

that I have sinned by my own fault

in thought, word, and deed;

by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.

I have not loved you with my whole heart, and mind, and strength. I have not

loved my neighbors as myself. I have not forgiven others, as I have been forgiven.

Have mercy on me, Lord.

I have been deaf to your call to serve, as Christ served us. I have not been true to

the mind of Christ. I have grieved your holy spirit.

Have mercy on me, Lord.

I confess to you, Lord, all my past unfaithfulness: the pride, hypocrisy, and impatience of my life.

I confess to you, Lord.

My self-indulgent appetites and ways, and my exploitation of other people,

I confess to you, Lord.

My anger at my own frustration, and my envy of those more fortunate than I,

I confess to you, Lord.

My intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and my dishonesty in daily life and work,

I confess to you, Lord.

My negligence in prayer and worship, and...
