How to Bless God

Play
For 8 November 2025, Saturday of week 31 in Ordinary Time, based on Psalm 145:1b, 2-3, 4-5, 10-11

I will bless your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless you,
and praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
his greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall laud your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
and all your faithful shall bless you.
They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom,
and tell of your power,
