God our Creator, each year we recall those Easter mysteries by which human nature is restored to a dignity once lost, and we are given the hope of rising again. Grant in your mercy that we may grasp and cherish always the mysteries we recall in faith. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen

9 How can young people keep their way pure?

   By guarding it according to your word.

10 With my whole heart I seek you;

   do not let me stray from your commandments.

11 I treasure your word in my heart,

   so that I may not sin against you.

12 Blessed are you, O Lord;

   teach me your statutes.

13 With my lips I declare

   all the ordinances of your mouth.

14 I delight in the way of your decrees

   as much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate on your precepts,

   and fix my eyes on your ways.

16 I will delight in your statutes;

   I will not forget your word.

Psalm 119 - English Standard Version
