Ant. This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. Alleluia.
Behold, how good and joyful it is for brothers to live together as one.
Like ointment on the head, which descends to the beard, to the beard of Aaron,
which descends to the edge of his garment.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Psalm 134Praise the Name of the Lord
Ant. Christ our Passover has been sacrificed; let us therefore celebrate the feast. Alleluia.
Praise the name of the Lord; praise him, O servants of the Lord.
You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for it is sweet.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his own possession.
For I have known that the Lord is great, and our Lord is before all gods.
Whatever pleased the Lord, he has done, in heaven and on earth, in the sea and in all the deeps.
He draws up the mists from the ends of the earth; he turns lightning into rain.
He draws forth the wind from his storehouses.
He struck the firstborn of Egypt, from man even to beast.
He sent signs and wonders in the midst of you, O Egypt; against Pharaoh and all his servants.
He struck down many nations and he killed powerful kings.
Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance to his people Israel.
Lord, your name is forever; Lord, your remembrance from generation to generation.
For the Lord will judge his people and will be entreated concerning his servants.
The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of human hands.
They have a mouth, and they do not speak; they have eyes, and they do not see.
They have ears, and they do not hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
Let those who make them become like them, and all who trust in them.
O house of Israel, bless the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless the Lord.
O house of Levi, bless the Lord; you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Blessed is the Lord from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

New Testament Canticle
New Testament Canticle (Romans 8:14–17)
For whoever are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For you have not received the spirit of servitude, again to be in fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons,
in which we cry: Abba! Father!
For the Spirit himself gives testimony to our spirit, that we are sons of God.
But if sons, then heirs also: heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ,
yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Gospel Canticle: Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55)
The Canticle of Mary (Magnificat) (Luke 1:46–55)
Ant. The Lord is risen indeed, and he appeared to Simon. Alleluia.
My soul magnifies the Lord.
And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
Because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
Because he who is powerful has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation to generation for those who fear him.
He has shown might with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has received Israel, his servant, being mindful of his mercy.
As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. The Lord is risen indeed, and he appeared to Simon. Alleluia.
