WALKING AND SINGING WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD
For health reasons, I walk forty to fifty minutes each morning and evening on a treadmill. The two above offices total about thirty-five minutes. Adding some of the additional options below brings the time to over forty-five minutes. The three options are interleaved by opening three tabs on the computer in front of the treadmill. With a little more dexterity, they could be interweaved on a cellphone or pad. The repetition of each psalm three time in three different formats provides a pleasing ritual experience.

CANTICLE COLOSSIANS 1

Let us give thanks to God the Father,
  who has made us sufficient to share in the light
that is the saints’ inheritance.

COLOSSIANS 1:12-20
Grátias agámus Deo Patri,*
  qui idóneos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctórum in lúmine;






Extended Reading
Philippians 2:12-18 


With fear and trembling work out your salvation.
 13 For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
 14 And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
 15 That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world.
 16 Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ, because I have not run in vain, nor labored in vain.
 17 Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.
 18 And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.



Short Responsory
I said: ‘Lord, have mercy on me.’
‘Heal my soul, for I have sinned against you.’

Responsorium breve
℣.  Ego dixi: Dómine,* Miserére mei
℟. Sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.




Antiphon

I am not able to do whatever I want, but as I listen and decide; 
and therefore my decree is just, says the Lord.

Non possum ego a meípso fácere quidquam, sed sicut áudio et iúdico; 
et iudícium meum iustum est, dicit Dóminus.
