Holy Family Radio Prayer & Thoughts
The Lord God is King! Let us bless His holy name!
Ant. O God of majesty, we praise thy glorious name.
[Canticle of David: 1 Chron. 29:10-13]
Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity.
Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and victory:
And to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth, is thine:
Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes.
Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over all,
In thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the empire of all things.
Now therefore our God we give thanks to thee, and we praise thy glorious name.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. O God of majesty, we praise thy glorious name.
