Holy Innocents

The collect for Holy Innocents (December 28):

We remember today, O God, the slaughter of the holy innocents of Bethlehem by the order of King Herod. Receive, we beseech thee, into the arms of thy mercy all innocent victims; and by thy great might frustrate the designs of evil tyrants and establish thy rule of justice, love, and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Ordinary of the Divine Office, according to the Lutheran Liturgical Prayer Brotherhood

The LLBP has a page, with links to mp3s, of the orders for Lauds, Noonday Prayer, Vespers, and Compline (as well as Vigils, which I'm not including here) at their website; I'm copying the page below only, so that you can use it as an example for praying the Offices.  Remember that the mp3s linked below are housed on the LLPB site; they are doing all the work, not me!  Check out their site, by all means; there's a lot of great stuff over there.

As you can see, they've put in separate audio files for Lent and for the rest of the year; it's to avoid the alleluias!  And there is a separate Eastertide Benedicamus also.  I've added, in green and in parentheses, the place where the Psalms go in the offices.

O merciful Father, who has taught us in your holy Word that you do not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men: Look with pity upon the sorrows of your servants for whom our prayers are offered. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy, nourish their souls with patience, comfort them with a sense of your goodness, lift up your countenance upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
