Psalter Group Assignments {Nativity 2012}

Here are the assigned readings for the Psalter Prayer group for December 2012. Names are numbered in order of where you begin.*Be sure to look through all the lists for your name. It will be as you signed up.  There are a lot of Mary's, Maria's, Katherine's, etc.  Make sure you're looking at the right one! 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. Lord have mercy on (name of each person in your group).

People in group 3, please check back periodically since more people will most likely be added to your group.  And as always, if you have any questions at all, let me know!Don't become discouraged if you miss some, it takes time to build a habit and anything you read is more than you would have read if you hadn't signed up!  Kali Dynami!Readings
