Ant. 1 All you saints sing, * sing praise to our God. (Alleluia).
PSALM 113
Praise, O servants of the Lord, * praise the name of the Lord!
May the name of the Lord be blessed * both now and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting * praised be the name of the Lord!
High above all nations is the Lord, * above the heavens his glory.
Who is like the Lord, our God, * who has risen on high to his throne
yet stoops from the heights to look down, * to look down upon heaven and earth?
From the dust he lifts up the lowly, * from his misery he raises the poor
to set him in the company of princes, * yes, with the princes of his people.
To the childless wife he gives a home * and gladdens her heart with children.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Ant. 1 All you saints sing, * sing praise to our God. (Alleluia).
Ant. 2 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness; * they will be satisfied. (Alleluia).
PSALM 146
My soul, give praise to the Lord * I will praise the Lord all my days, * make music to my God while I live.
Put no trust in princes, * in mortal men in whom there is no help.
Take their breath, they return to clay * and their plans that day come to nothing.
He is happy who is helped by Jacob's God, * whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who alone made heaven and earth, * the seas and all they contain.
It is he who keeps faith for ever, * who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is he who gives bread to the hungry, * the Lord, who sets prisoners free,
the Lord who gives sight to the blind, * who raises up those who are bowed down,
the Lord, who protects the stranger * and upholds the widow and orphan.
It is the Lord who loves the just * but thwarts the path of the wicked.
The Lord will reign for ever, * Zion's God, from age to age.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Ant. 2 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for holiness; * they will be satisfied. (Alleluia).
Ant. 3 Blessed be God! * He has chosen us to live in love, * holy and without blemish in his sight. (Alleluia).

READING
Philippians 3:7-8
