Saint of the day · April 12
Divine Mercy Sunday — Solemnity
Psalm of the day: Psalm 108
1 A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
3 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.
6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.
12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
13 Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
Prayer of the day: Hail Mary
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
