Entrance Antiphon and Collect
Antiphon
Cf. Mt 25: 34, 36, 40
Come, you blessed of my Father, says the Lord:
I was sick, and you visited me.
Amen, I say to you: Whatever you did
for one of the least of my brethren you did it for me.
Collect
O God, by whose gift Saint Elizabeth of Hungary
recognized and revered Christ in the poor,
grant, through her intercession,
that we may serve with unfailing charity
the needy and those afflicted.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
