Prière du Milieu du Jour du 21 novembre 2023 au Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre
21 nov. 2023
Au milieu du jour, du mardi au samedi, KTO diffuse l'Angelus puis l'office de Sexte des Bénédictines du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre, depuis cette basilique. Comme son nom l'indique, sexte est la prière chrétienne de la sixième heure du jour, selon le découpage romain antique de la journée - ce qui correspond à midi dans notre journée actuelle. Cet office la liturgie des Heures commémore le moment où le Christ a été cloué sur la Croix. Il est composé d'une hymne, de 3 psaumes (ou morceaux de psaumes), d'une petite lecture, un verset et d'une oraison.
The angel of the Lord announced to Mary,
She who is the mother of a sinner,
And she has the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
I greet you, Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is blessed among all women,
And Jesus, the Son of the Blessed Virgin,
Holy Mary, pray for us.
Here is the servant of the Lord,
Who received this good news.
I greet you, Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is blessed among all women,
And Jesus, the Son of the Blessed Virgin,
Holy Mary, pray for us.
And two verbs are dear to me,
But he lived among us.
I greet you, Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is blessed among all women,
And Jesus, the fruit of your womb,
Holy Mary, pray for us.
Pray for us, Holy Mother of God,
So that we may be united
With our Lord Jesus Christ.
Answer, Lord, your grace in our hearts,
So that having known through the message of the angel
The incarnation of your beloved Son,
We may be led by his passion and by his cross
To the glory and to the resurrection
By Jesus Christ our Lord.
God, come to my help.
Lord, receive us,
And lead us to Christ, to the Holy Spirit,
Who is the first, who is true and who comes
For ages and ages to come.
Alleluia.
Here is your Holy Spirit.
Pray for us, Holy Mother of God,
So that having known through the message of the angel
The incarnation of your beloved Son,
We may be led by his passion and by his cross
To the glory and to the resurrection
By Jesus Christ our Lord.
God, come to my help.
Lord, receive us,
And lead us to Christ, to the Holy Spirit,
Who is the first, who is true and who comes
For ages and ages to come.
Glory to the Lord, and joy for the heart,
Light for the eyes.
Glory to the Lord, and joy for the heart,
Happy are the men who enter into the kingdom,
Who walk according to the law of the Lord.
Happy are those who keep his commandments,
Those who seek not fear,
But are devoted to righteousness,
Who walk in his ways.
Glory to the Lord, and joy for the heart,

Glory to the Lord, and joy for the heart,

Glory to the Lord, and joy for the heart,
How long, Lord, are you going to forget me,
And hide your face?
How long will I carry my sadness every day?
How long will my weakness be the strongest?
Oh, Lord, my God,
Lord, keep me from the sleep of death,
Let no one say victory to me,
Let the enemy have the joy of my defeat,
But I have given my life to you,
And my life to play.
I will sing the praises of the Lord for the good he has done to me,
Come to me, O Mary, O Christ, and in this spirit,
For centuries and centuries to come,
I will live on your love.
You came to save me,
Not from the righteous, but from the sinners.
You came to save me,
Not from the righteous, but from the sinners.
In his heart, the fool declares,
He will not forgive a man of good.
The eyes of the Lord will look at the children of Adam,
And if one is innocent, if one seeks God,
All of them will be revealed, all of them will be saved,
And one will be saved.
When the time comes, these people who do evil,
They will eat their bread and they will eat their people.
When the time comes, he invokes the Lord,
And behold, they have gone astray,
Lost in the company of the righteous.
When the time comes, they will eat their bread,
And they will eat their people.
When the time comes, they will eat their people.
You came to save me,
Not from the righteous, but from the sinners.
From the Book of Proverbs
Happy is he who has found wisdom,
Who has obtained reason.
For his possession is worth more than possession of money,
And his income is better than gold.
It is more valuable than coral,
And nothing that one can desire equals it.
Lord, you want the truth from me,
In the secret of my great wisdom.
Let us pray to the Lord.
Since we celebrate the memory of the Most Holy Virgin Mary,
Grant us, Lord, through her intercession,
The happiness of living now in your presence,
And to have one day at the fullness of your grace,
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Let us praise the Lord.
And the Holy Spirit.
