Psalm 63:2-9
O God, you are my God, for you I long;
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you
like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.
For your love is better than life,
my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life,
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed I remember you.
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast. Glory…

Psalm 149
Sing a new song to the Lord,
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel rejoice in its Maker,
let Zion’s sons exult in their king.
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music with timbrel and harp.
For the Lord takes delight in his people.
He crowns the poor with salvation.
Let the faithful rejoice in their glory,
shout for joy and take their rest.
Let the praise of God be on their lips
and a two-edged sword in their hand,
to deal out vengeance to the nations
and punishment on all the peoples;
to bind their kings in chains
and their nobles in fetters of iron;
to carry out the sentence pre-ordained:
this honor is for all his faithful. Glory…

INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)
By his own power Christ raised up the temple of his body
when it had been destroyed in death. With joy let us ask him:
Lord, share with us the fruits of your victory.
Christ our Savior, when you rose again you brought to the holy women and the apostles the joyful news of a world redeemed,
– make us witnesses to your risen life.
You promised to all people that we would rise up again to newness of life,
– make us heralds of your Gospel.
You showed yourself to your apostles and breathed the Holy Spirit on them,
– renew in us the presence of the same creator Spirit.
You promised to be with your disciples to the end of the world,
– stay with us today, and remain with us always.
Presider: O God, who have bestowed on us paschal remedies,
endow your people with heavenly gifts,
so that, possessed of perfect freedom,
they may rejoice in heaven
over what gladdens them now on earth.
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.

BENEDICTUS/Canticle of Zachariah Benedictus – Luke 1: 68-79
Antiphon: Jesus called her by name: Mary. She turned to him and said: Rabboni. Then he said to her: Don not touch me; I have not yet ascended to my Father, alleluia.
(While making the Sign of the Cross, we pray the following)
Blest be the God of Israel who comes to set us free
and raises up new hope for us: a Branch for David’s tree.
So have the prophets long declared that with a mighty arm
God would turn back our enemies and all who wish us harm
.
With promised mercy will God still the covenant recall,
the oath once sworn to Abraham from foes to save us all;
that we might worship without fear and offer lives of praise,
in holiness and righteousness to serve God all our days.
My child, as prophet of the Lord you will prepare the way,
to tell God’s people they are saved from sin’s eternal sway.
Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease
to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace.
Antiphon: Jesus called her by name: Mary. She turned to him and said: Rabboni. Then he said to her: Don not touch me; I have not yet ascended to my Father, alleluia.
