COMMON TEXTS FOR THE DIVINE LITURGY OF THE DEEP SONG OF THE HEART
1. PRAYER OF THE VEIL (Psalm 63) Desiderium Dei
O God, you are my God, for you I long; For you my soul is thirstingMy body pines for you Like a dry, weary land without water. So I gaze on you in the sanctuary To see your strength and your glory.
For you love is better than life, My lips will speak your praise. So I will bless you all my life, In your name I will lift up my hands. My soul shall be filled as with a banquet, My mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed I remember you. On you I muse through the night For you have been my help; In the shadow of your wings I rejoice. My soul clings to you; Your right hand holds me fast.
Glory to you, O God: Living One, Word, and Spirit, Now, and for all ages and aeons. Amen. All: Glory to God in the highest, and peace to the Earth, and grace unto all people. We praise you, we bless you, we worship you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth, Almighty Maker and Molder, full of love and goodness. Lord Jesus Christ, firstborn of the Fullness, Lord God, Lamb of God, you who bring us back to the good path, have mercy on us, you who lead us on the way of light, receive our prayer, for you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to the Glory of God above. Amen. 3. Prayer of the Apostle Paul.
All: O Sun of Justice, O Star of Salvation, Angel-presence of the Divine One, fill me with your light, grant me your mercy. My Redeemer, redeem me, for I am yours; the one who has come forth from you. You are my mind, bring me forth! You are my treasure house; open for me! You are my fullness; take me to you! You are my repose, give me the perfect thing that cannot be grasped! O my heart, O my heart, O my deepest heart! I invoke you, the one who is, and who pre-existed in the Name which is exalted above every name, through Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords, the King of Ages; give me your gifts, of which you do not repent, through the Son of Man, the Spirit, the Paraclete of truth. Give me authority when I ask you; give healing for my body when I ask you through the Evangelist, and redeem my eternal light-soul and my spirit. And the first-born of the Pleroma of grace, reveal unto my mind! Grant what no angel eye has seen, and no archon ear has heard, and what has not entered into the human heart, which came to be angelic and modeled after the image of the psychic God when it was formed in the beginning, for I have faith and hope. And place upon me your beloved, elect, and blessed greatness, the First-born, the first-begotten, and the wonderful mystery of your house; for yours is the power and the glory and the praise and the greatness for ever and ever. Amen.

WHAT IS THE DIVINE LITURGY OF THE DEEP SONG OF THE HEART? Based on the ancient rite of Spain, known as the Mozarabic Rite or Hispano-Visigothic Rite, this modern divine liturgy is an expression of mysticism drawn from the ancient Christian sources of Spain, which incorporates elements from other ancient liturgies, and expresses them in language which strives to communicate the inner, deep movements of the Spirit while at the same time preserving the elements of a valid liturgy in the ancient Catholic tradition. As an independent Catholic Church with lines of Apostolic Succession from both East and West, we strive for balance, and inclusive language and use a wide variety of liturgies, both modern and traditional. |
