With joyful hearts, let us praise the Eternal Father whose mercy toward his people is exalted to the heavens:
Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.
Remember, Lord, that you sent your Son into the world to be its savior, not its judge,
— let his glorious death bring us salvation.
Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.
You ordained your priests to be ministers of Christ and stewards of your marvelous gifts,
— fill them with fidelity, wisdom and love.
Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.
You have called men and women to chastity for the sake of the kingdom,
— let them faithfully follow your Son.
Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.
From the beginning you intended husband and wife to be one,
— keep all families united in sincere love.
Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.
You sent Christ Jesus into the world to absolve the sins of men,
— free all the dead from their sins.
Let all who hope in you rejoice, Lord.
