“The very stone which the builders rejected has become the chief stone at the corner; this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes… Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!… The Lord is God; his light shines out to welcome us; marshal the procession aright, with a screen of boughs that reaches to the very horns of the altar. Thou art my God, mine to thank thee, thou art my God, mine to extol thee.” (Psalm cxviii, 22-23, 26-28)

An Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,

and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell;

but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.

Amen.
