let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling (Psalm 43:5).
Morning
Invitatory Psalm Sun 24
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.
You have founded it on the seas and established it on the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in your holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully.
They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of heir salvation.
Such is the company of those who seek you, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.
Who is this King of glory?
the Lord of hosts,
You are the King of glory
Psalms 90, 92, 93

Daily Lectionary Reading, toward All Saints Day
Revelation 7:9-17, 22
9 After this I looked, and there was a great crowd that no one could number. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language. They were standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried out with a loud voice: “ Victory belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. ” 11 All the angels stood in a circle around the throne, and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell facedown before the throne and worshipped God, 12 saying, “ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and always. Amen. ” 13 Then one of the elders said to me, “ Who are these people wearing white robes, and where did they come from? ” 14 I said to him, “ Sir, you know. ” Then he said to me, “ These people have come out of great hardship. They have washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. 15 This is the reason they are before God’s throne. They worship him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them. 16 They won’t hunger or thirst anymore. No sun or scorching heat will beat down on them, 17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. ” [Common English Bible]

Psalm 34:1-10, 22
I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be in my mouth.
2 I praise the LORD —
let the suffering listen and rejoice.
3 Magnify the LORD with me!
Together let us lift his name up high!
4 I sought the LORD
and he answered me.
He delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to God will shine;
their faces are never ashamed.
6 This suffering person cried out:
the LORD listened and saved him
from every trouble.
7 On every side, the LORD ’s messenger protects those who honor God;
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see
how good the LORD is!
The one who takes refuge in him
is truly happy!
9 You who are the LORD ’s holy ones,
honor him
because those who honor him
don’t lack a thing.
10 Even strong young lions
go without and get hungry,
but those who seek the LORD
lack no good thing.
22 The LORD saves his servants’ lives; all those who take refuge in him won’t be held responsible for anything. [Common English Bible]
