Prayer for the Day: Psalm 72 from the Psalter of the B.V.M.

[Shin]

Psalm 72
of the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary
by St. Bonaventure

How good is God to Israel:
to those who pay homage to His Mother and venerate her.

For she is our comfort:
she is the most excellent of help in labor.

The enemy hath overspread my soul with darkness:
O Lady, make light arise within me.

Let the wrath of God be turned away from me by thee:
placate him by thy merits and thy prayers.

Stand for me in the day of judgment:
in His presence take up my cause, and be my advocate.
