HYMN
Heart of Christ, Thou dost embody
All the wonder of God's Love!
Thou dost tell the tender mercies
Showered from our God above!
Heart of Christ, Who bringest healing
To the lowly and the weak,
Let us know Thy loving kindness,
Show Thyself to all who seek!
Melody: Stuttgart 87.87.D; Music: C.F. Witts Psalmodia Sacra 1715; Text: Melvin Farrell, S.S.
Or:
Deep in His heart for us
The wound of love He bore,
That love which He enkindles still
In hearts that Him adore.
O Jesu, Victim blest,
What else but love divine
Could Thee constrain to open thus
That sacred heart of Thine?
O wondrous Fount of love,
O Well of waters free,
O heavenly Flame, refining Fire,
O burning Charity!
Hide us in Thy dear heart,
Jesu, our Savior blest,
So shall we find Thy plenteous grace
And Heav’n’s eternal rest.
Melody: Narenza S.M.; Text: Summi parentis filio
PSALMODY
Antiphon 1: Jesus stood and cried out: If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
For your love is better than life,
my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life,
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed I remember you.
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast. Glory...

Antiphon 3
My son, give me your heart; note carefully the way I point out to you.
Sing a new song to the Lord,
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel rejoice in its maker,
let Zion’s sons exult in their king.
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music with timbrel and harp.
For the Lord takes delight in his people.
He crowns the poor with salvation.
Let the faithful rejoice in their glory,
shout for joy and take their rest.
Let the praise of God be on their lips
and a two-edged sword in their hand,
to deal out vengeance to the nations
and punishment on all the peoples;
to bind their kings in chains
and their nobles in fetters of iron;
to carry out the sentence pre-ordained;
this honor is for all his faithful. Glory...
Antiphon 3
My son, give me your heart; note carefully the way I point out to you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

one God, for ever and ever.
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.
