We humbly implore your majesty, O Lord, that as the Paschal festival draws nearer we may prepare ourselves with ever greater devotion to celebrate the mystery of the death and resurrection of our Lord; 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 Bergamo Sacramentary)
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 5 – English Standard Version
