Your work is the same as Christ’s – a life spent in prayer, in teaching, a reaching out to the unfortunate…St. Marcellin Champagnat.
Call to Prayer: Psalm 126 (in choirs)
Antiphon: With hearts and hands and voices, we will praise the Lord.
Let us begin this day by rejoicing!
Let us acknowledge our Lord’s love
And concern and allow our bodies
To break forth
Into happy hilarity!
Let us give our nerves and muscles
The healthy exercise of laughter!
The Lord has done such wonderful
Things for us:
Let us be glad!
The day before us is uncertain
We know not what we will encounter
on our way.
While we rejoice with those who
We shall also weep with those who
Wherever we go, we go forth as sons
and servants of the living God
and we go forth to touch the
lives of men and women with
His healing love.
Let us begin this day with rejoicing
and return to our homes with
Gladness!
