THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Invitatory: Lord, open my lips Ant. Come, let us worship Christ, the Bridegroom of his Church (alleluia) Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Alleluia Ant. My house will be called a house of prayer (alleluia) Psalm 63:2-9 A soul thirsting for God O God, you are my God; at dawn I seek you, for you my soul is thirsting. For you my flesh is pining, like a dry, weary land without water. I have come before you in the holy place, to behold your strength and your glory. Your loving mercy is better than life, my lips will speak your praise. I will bless you all my life, in your name I will lift up my hand. My soul shall be filled as with a banquet; with joyful my mouth shall praise you. When I remember you upon my bed, I muse on you through the watches of the night. F
