Tuesday of Holy Week

Almighty and everlasting God, grant us grace so to contemplate the Passion of our Lord that we may find therein forgiveness for our sins; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God now and forever. Amen
(From the Gregorian Sacramentary)

1 The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth
   from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
   God shines forth.
3 Our God comes; he does not keep silence;[a]
   before him is a devouring fire,
   around him a mighty tempest.
4 He calls to the heavens above
   and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 “Gather to me my faithful ones,
   who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6 The heavens declare his righteousness,
   for God himself is judge!
Psalm 50 – English Standard Version
