Invitatory psalm

O Lord, open my lips.
And my mouth will proclaim your praise.

Let us celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary; let us worship her son, Christ the Lord.
Come, let us rejoice in the Lord, let us acclaim God our salvation.
Let us come before him proclaiming our thanks, let us acclaim him with songs.
Let us celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary; let us worship her son, Christ the Lord.
For the Lord is a great God, a king above all gods.
For he holds the depths of the earth in his hands, and the peaks of the mountains are his.
For the sea is his: he made it; and his hands formed the dry land.
Let us celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary; let us worship her son, Christ the Lord.
Come, let us worship and bow down, bend the knee before the Lord who made us;
for he himself is our God and we are his flock, the sheep that follow his hand.
Let us celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary; let us worship her son, Christ the Lord.
If only, today, you would listen to his voice: “Do not harden your hearts
as you did at Meribah, on the day of Massah in the desert, when your fathers tested me –
they put me to the test, although they had seen my works.”
Let us celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary; let us worship her son, Christ the Lord.
“For forty years they wearied me, that generation.
I said: their hearts are wandering, they do not know my paths.
I swore in my anger: they will never enter my place of rest.
Let us celebrate the birth of the Virgin Mary; let us worship her son, Christ the Lord.
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.
