Psalter Prayer Group Reading Assignments

Here are the assigned readings for the Psalter Prayer group for Great Lent 2o11. Names are numbered in order of where you begin. (NOTE: If there was more than one person with the same name I tried to include your username in parentheses to differentiate, if anyone is unsure please let me know.)

Before beginning to read your assigned kathisma, please recite the Trisagion prayers:

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who art in all places and fillest all things; Treasury of good things and Giver of life: Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for thy Name's sake.

Lord, have mercy. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.

At the end of each kathisma please recite the following:

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. Glory to you, O God. (twice)


Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Glory to you, O God our hope, O Lord, glory to You.

St. Arsenios of Cappadocia used the Psalter as a Book of Needs. For a list of "needs" the Psalms can be read for, click here.

*PLEASE NOTE: Even though we began our readings already, I will continue adding people to the list as they come. So if anyone is interested simply leave your baptismal name and email address and I will add you to the list. Thank you.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: If beginning after Clean Monday, please count the kathisma from Day 1 NOT the day you are joining us. For example, if you're starting kathisma was 10 and we are 5 days into Lent, you will begin on kathisma 15.
