Psalm 138 : 18, 5-6 and 1-2

Resurrexi, et adhuc Tecum sum, alleluja : posuisti super me manum Tuam, alelluja : mirabilis facta est scientia Tua, alleluja, alleluja.

Domine, probasti me et cognovisti me : Tu cognovisti sessionem meam et resurrectionem meam.

Response : Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper : et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation

I arose, and am still with You, Alleluia. You have laid Your hands upon Me, Alleluia. Your knowledge has become wonderful, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Lord, You have proved Me, and known Me. You have known My sitting down and My rising up.

Response : Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Collect

Deus, qui hodierna die per Unigenitum Tuum aeternitatis nobis aditum, devicta morte, reserasti : vota nostra, quae praeveniendo aspiras, etiam adjuvando prosequere. Per eumdem Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum, qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation

O God, who on this day by Your only begotten Son, vanquished death, and has unlocked for us the gate of eternity, help us to attain the desires to which You have led us by Your inspirations. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who with You lives and reigns in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
