PALM SUNDAY - THE MASS

tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
R. Thanks be to God.

Gradual. Psalm 72, 24 and 1-3. Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by Thy will Thou hast
conducted me, and with Thy glory Thou hast received me. V. How good is God to Israel, to those of
an upright heart! But my feet were almost moved, my steps had well-nigh slipped : because I was
jealous of sinners, seeing the prosperity of sinners.

Tract. Psalm 21,2-9, 18, 19,22,24,32. O God, my God, look upon me; why hast Thou forsaken me? V.
Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. V. O my God, I shall cry by day, and Thou wilt
not hear; and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. V. But Thou dwellest in the
holy place, the praise of Israel. V. In Thee have our fathers hoped : they have hoped, and Thou
hast delivered them. V. They cried to Thee, and they were saved; they trusted in Thee,
and were not confounded. V. But I am a worm, and no man : the reproach of men and the outcast of
the people. V. All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn : they have spoken with the lips
and wagged the head. V. He hoped in the Lord, let Him deliver him :let Him save him, seeing
he delighteth in Him. V. But they have looked and stared upon me :they parted my garments
amongst them, and upon my vesture they cast lots. V. Deliver me from the lion's mouth
:and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
V. Ye that fear the Lord, praise Him : all ye, the seed of Jacob, glorify Him. V. There shall
be declared to the
Lord a generation to come; and the heavens shall show forth His justice. V. To a people that
shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
