O God, who have bestowed on us paschal remedies, endow your people with heavenly gifts, so that, possessed of perfect freedom, they may rejoice in heaven over what gladdens them now on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Reading Now you are saved by baptism. This is not the washing off of physical dirt but a pledge made to God from a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has entered heaven and is at God's right hand. - 1 Peter 3:21-22 Responsory This is the day the Lord has made, alleluia. - Let us rejoice and be glad in it, alleluia.

PSALMODY
They are happy whose life is blameless, who follow God's law! They are happy who do his will, seeking him with all their hearts,
who never do anything evil but walk in his ways. You have laid down your precepts to be obeyed with care.
May my footsteps be firm to obey your statutes. Then I shall not be put to shame as I heed your commands.
I will thank you with an upright heart as I learn your decrees. I will obey your statutes; do not forsake me. Glory...
Psalm Prayer: Lord God, you proclaim victorious those whose lives are blameless and give your law to those who seek it. Make us seek your righteous ways in our hearts.
How long, O Lord, will you forget me? How long will you hide your face? How long must I bear grief in my soul, this sorrow in my heart day and night? How long shall my enemy prevail?
Look at me, answer me, Lord my God! Give light to my eyes lest I fall asleep in death, lest my enemy say: I have overcome him; lest my foes rejoice to see my fall.
As for me, I trust in your merciful love. Let my heart rejoice in your saving help: Let me sing to the Lord for his goodness to me, singing psalms to the name of the Lord, the Most High. Glory...
Psalm Prayer: Saving God, by the resurrection of your Son, you have given light to our eyes, and they shall not sleep in death for ever. Look upon the sufferings of your Church so that our hearts may rejoice in your saving help and sing you songs of praise.
The fool has said in his heart: There is no God above. Their deeds are corrupt, depraved; not a good man is left.
From heaven the Lord looks down on the sons of men to see if any are wise, if any seek God.
All have left the right path, depraved, every one; there is not a good man left, no, not even one.
Will the evil-doers not understand? They eat up my people as though they were eating bread: they never pray to the Lord.
See how they tremble with fear without cause for fear: for God is with the just. You may mock the poor man's hope, but his refuge is the Lord.
O that Israel's salvation might come from Zion! When the Lord delivers his people from bondage, then Jacob will be glad and Israel rejoice. Glory...
Psalm Prayer: God of wisdom and truth, without you neither truth nor holiness can survive. Safeguard the Church you have gathered into one and make us glad in proclaiming you
