Ps. 42:3, 9-10; antiphon: Ps. 42:5-6a
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in
turmoil with-in me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me continually, “Where I is your God?” I say to God, my rock: “Why have you for- I gotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me continually, “Where I is your God?”
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in
turmoil with-in me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty and everlasting God, grant us by Your grace so to pass through this holy time of our Lord’s passion that we may obtain the forgiveness of our sins; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
