Psalm 46

God is for us a refuge and strength, * a helper close at hand, in time of distress: so we shall not fear though the earth should rock, *

though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea even though its waters rage and foam, * even though the mountains be shaken by its waves.

The Lord of hosts is with us: * the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

The waters of a river give joy to God's city, * the holy place where the Most High dwells.

God is within, it cannot be shaken * God will help it at the dawning of the day. Nations are in tumult, kingdoms are shaken: * he lifts his voice, the earth shrinks away.

The Lord of hosts is with us: * the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

5

Come, consider the works of the Lord, * the redoubtable deeds he has done on the earth.

He puts an end to wars over all the earth * the bow he breaks, the spear he snaps. He burns the shields with fire. * "Be still and know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme on the earth!" The Lord of hosts is with us: * the God of Jacob is our stronghold. All stand.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, * and will be forever.

Antiphon 1 This is Gods dwelling place and he has made it holy; it will stand forever firm.

Psalm 122

I rejoiced when I heard them say: * Let us go to God's house. And now our feet are standing * within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city * strongly compact. It is there that the tribes go up, * the tribes of the Lord.

For Israel's law it is, * there to praise the Lord's name. There were set the thrones of judgment * of the house of David.

For the peace of Jerusalem pray: * Peace be to your homes! May peace reign in your walls, * in your palaces, peace!

7

For love of my brethren and friends * I say: Peace upon you. For love of the house of the Lord * I will ask for your good. All stand.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, * and will be forever.

Antiphon 2 Let us go up with rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

Antiphon 3 All you his saints, sing out the praises of our God. READING Revelation 21:23, 22, 27

A reading from the book of Revelation

SAW A NEW JERUSALEM, the holy city, coming down out of Heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband. I heard a loud

voice from the throne cry out: "This is Gods dwelling among men. He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people and He shall be their God who is always with them." I saw no temple in the city, The Lord God the Almighty, is its temple he and the Lamb. But nothing profane shall enter it, nor anyone who is a liar or has done a detestable act. Only those shall enter whose names are inscribed in the book of the living kept by the Lamb.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL CANTICLE

F Gm C F Dm C A B C

Antiphon This is God's dwelling place and he has made it holy * here we call on his name, for Scripture says: * There you will find me. *

Y SOUL PROCLAIMS the greatness of the Lord, * my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, *

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. *

From this day all generations will call me blessed: * the Almighty has done great things for me, * and holy is his Name. *

He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. * He has shown the strength of his arm, * he has scattered the proud in their conceit. *

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. * He has filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he has sent away empty. *

He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, * the promise he made to our fathers, * to Abraham and his children forever. *

Glory to the Father and to the Son * and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, * and will be forever. Amen.

INTERCESSIONS

Our Savior laid down his life so that all Gods scattered children might be gathered together. In our need, let us cry out:

Remember your Church, Lord.

Lord Jesus, you built your house upon a rock, strengthen your Church with solid and lasting faith.

Lord Jesus, blood and water flowed from your side, give new life to your Church through the sacraments of your new and

unending covenant.

Lord Jesus, you are in the midst of those who gather in your name, hear the prayers of your universal Church.

Lord Jesus, you prepare a dwelling place in your Fathers house for all who love you,

help your Church to grow in divine love.

Lord Jesus, you never cast out anyone who comes to you, open your Fathers house to all those who have died.

13

At the Saviors command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

14

Collect
