October 1st :  Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 87(88):2-8 

Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord.

Lord my God, I call for help by day;

  I cry at night before you.

Let my prayer come into your presence.

  O turn your ear to my cry.

Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord.

For my soul is filled with evils;

  my life is on the brink of the grave.

I am reckoned as one in the tomb:

  I have reached the end of my strength.

Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord.

Like one alone among the dead;

  like the slain lying in their graves;

like those you remember no more,

  cut off, as they are, from your hand.

Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord.

You have laid me in the depths of the tomb,

  in places that are dark, in the depths.

Your anger weighs down upon me:

  I am drowned beneath your waves.

Let my prayer come into your presence, O Lord.
