Strengthen, O Lord, the bishops of your Church in their
special calling to be teachers and ministers of the Sacraments, so that they,
like your servant Cyril of Jerusalem, may effectively instruct your people in
Christian faith and practice; and that we, taught by them, may enter more fully
into celebration of the Paschal mystery; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the
house of the Lord!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates,
O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound
firmly together,
4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for
Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the
house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be
secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls
and security
within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, “Peace
be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your
good.
