The Invitatory Psalm for today's readings spoke to me this morning. During this Holy Week we prepare for the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Thursday, for the Celebration of the Lord's Passion and the Veneration of the Cross on Friday, the silence and solemnity of Holy Saturday, and the Joy of the Resurrection, Easter Sunday. This week, we commemorate that Jesus threw open wide the Eternal Doors of Heaven for us. Have a wonderful week and a joyous Easter.
O Lord, open my lips.
– And my mouth will proclaim your praise
Come, let us worship Christ the Lord, who was tempted and suffered for us.
The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world and all who live in it.
He himself founded it upon the seas
and set it firm over the waters.
Come, let us worship Christ the Lord, who was tempted and suffered for us.
Who will climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who will stand in his holy place?
The one who is innocent of wrongdoing and pure of heart,
who has not given himself to vanities or sworn falsely.
He will receive the blessing of the Lord
and be justified by God his saviour.
This is the way of those who seek him,
seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Come, let us worship Christ the Lord, who was tempted and suffered for us.
Gates, raise your heads. Stand up, eternal doors,
and let the king of glory enter.
Who is the king of glory?
The Lord of might and power.
The Lord, strong in battle.
Come, let us worship Christ the Lord, who was tempted and suffered for us.
Gates, raise your heads. Stand up, eternal doors,
and let the king of glory enter.
Who is the king of glory?
The Lord of hosts
– he is the king of glory.
Come, let us worship Christ the Lord, who was tempted and suffered for us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Come, let us worship Christ the Lord, who was tempted and suffered for us.
