Grant, O Lord, that we may worthily celebrate the mysteries of Christ’s death and resurrection, so that as we observe them with joy, they may be our constant defense and salvation; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
(From the Leonine Sacramentary)

1 Hear this, all peoples!
    Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2  both low and high,
    rich and poor together!
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom;
    the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
10 For he sees that even the wise die;
     the fool and the stupid alike must perish
    and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their graves are their homes forever,
    their dwelling places to all generations,
    though they called lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp will not remain;
     he is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49 – English Standard Version
