A Little Prayer

Scripture:  Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.

Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem.

It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

Reflect, pray and explore Psalm 130 through this progressive painting accompanied by Seven Magnificent Antiphons (Parts 6 and 7) by Arvo Part.

Prayer:  Holy One, we cry out to you.  You are the one who made us, you know our voices...Hear our prayers, listen closely to our requests.  We wait for you O God, our souls wait for you.  We place all of our hope in you now and forever.  And thank you for your redeeming love.  Amen.
