The invitatory (Latin: invitatorium; also invitatory psalm) is the psalm used to start certain daily prayer offices in Catholic and Anglican traditions. Most often it is Psalm 94(95), also known as the Venite.[n 1] The term derives from Medieval Latin invītātōrium, derived from invītāre, "to invite."[1]
