SUNDAYLAUDS Introduction Prayer Lauds O Lord, open my lips,and my mouth shall proclaim Thy praise.O Lord, come to my aid.O Lord, make haste to help me.Glory to the Source of Being,to the Eternal Word,and to the Breath of Holiness;as it was in the Beginning, is now,and shall be unto the ages of ages. Amen. Canticle of the Night Giving Way to Dawn In the Night, I have worshipped Thee,I have sung Thy praises.I have seen Thy Gloryby the light of the Moon,in the quiet of the Night.Yet now the Morning breaks, and Thy mercy rises likethe Sun.Shadows flee before Thy Face, and the heart awakensto Thy Light.O Comfort me!O Hold me close!By Thy Bosom carry me,from darkness into dawn. Lauds – Canticle of the Rising Sun Before all the dawn, the hidden fire awakes,A golden word the silent darkness breaks;The heavens tremble, veiled in crimson flame,As light remembers its eternal Name.From east to west, the newborn glory streams,A waking world unfolds from sacred dreams;And Michael stands where dawn and judgment meet,With a burning sword and radiance at his feet.O Son of God, whose rising none can withstand—Command the light, and we shall rise at hand. Songs of SolomonSong 1 You the lord are mingled in my hair like a crown,and I shall never be without you.This crown of truth was woven for meand makes your branches blossom in me.The crown is not dry and sterile.You live and blossom across my head.Your fruit is full, perfect, and mingled with salvation.

In a world that often feels fragmented and overwhelming, many of us yearn for a sense of direction, purpose, and peace. We seek not just to survive, but to thrive; not just to exist, but to live a life rich in meaning and impact. This yearning is universal, transcending cultures, generations, and personal philosophies. Yet, the pathways to achieving such a life can seem elusive, obscured by the noise of constant demands and conflicting advice.

If you have no friends, family, or even a life partner, it can often seem like your existence is meaningless, and no one would notice if you vanished, or perhaps they have even told you to die. Many people who commit suicide feel this way, but at least most have parents, a friend, a spouse, or a therapist they can talk to. But too often, this is not the case with some of us who receive hate from humans and are even told that God hates us.
