RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 119.
RESPONSE:
O Lord, how I love your law.
I have said, ‘O Lord, my portion is to obey your words’. The law from your mouth means more to me than large quantities of silver and gold. ℟
Let your merciful love console me by your promise to your servant. Show me compassion, that I may live, for your law is my delight. ℟
That is why I love your commands more than finest gold, why I rule my life by your precepts, and hate false ways. ℟
Your decrees are wonderful indeed; therefore my soul obeys them. The unfolding of your word gives light, and understanding to the simple. ℟
SECOND READING: Romans 8:28-30.
