Entrance Antiphon and Collect
Antiphon
Cf. Ps 48 (47): 10-11
Your merciful love, O God,
we have received in the midst of your temple.
Your praise, O God,
like your name,
reaches the end of the earth;
your right hand is filled with saving justice.
Collect
O God, who in the abasement of your Son
have raised up a fallen world,
fill your faithful with holy joy,
for on those you have rescued from slavery to sin
you bestow eternal gladness.
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.
