Here’s
a simple opening litany/prayer inspired by Psalm 103. It comes from the Oratio Contemplativa website.
Opening Litany
(inspired by Psalm
103)
King
of all the earth,
Creator
of the universe,
Holy
Triune God,
From
everlasting to everlasting, you are Lord.
You
are merciful and gracious, O Lord,
slow
to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
You
forgive all our iniquities
and
heal all our diseases;
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
You
redeem our lives from the pit
and
crown us with steadfast love and mercy;
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
You
satisfy us with good
and
renew our youth like the eagles;
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
This
is our God, the Holy One.
Come
before him with thanksgiving
and
offer him the sacrifice of praise.
