"Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
    for in thee my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge,
    till the storms of destruction pass by." Psalm 57:1 (RSVCE)

Meditation: God protects me by hiding me in the shadow of his wings.

    "Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn!" Psalm 57:8 (RSVCE)

Meditation: I praise God at dawn for having protected me during the night.

Prayer 26

Madonna in Glory¹

O God, who through the Immaculate Conception of a Virgin didst prepare a worthy dwelling-place for Thy Son, we beseech Thee, who by the death of that Son, foreseen by Thee, didst preserve her from every stain of sin, to grant that by her intercession we also may be purified, and so may come to Thee. Amen.<sup>51
