ÑVincent Cardinal Nichols Archbishop of Westminster President, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales Reverend Christopher Thomas General Secretary Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ 1 DIVINE OFFICE LITURGY OF THE HOURS Thursday after Pentecost OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE ETERNAL HIGH PRIEST Feast Invitatory Ant. Let us give glory to Christ who has an eternal priesthood. Invitatory Psalm, as in the Ordinary. Office of Readings Hymn Jesus, our High Priest, only Mediator, mercifully bringing prayers before the Father: from every nation, justly we extol you, singing your praises Formed by the Spirit in the womb of Mary, Son of the Virgin, your right arm embraces all of creation, Sacrifice and Victim, worthy of blessing. Named by the Father Priest and King for ever, you were anointed with the oil of gladness, brought to high heaven and his throne of glory, height of all honour. God most exalted, mortal flesh assuming, offering your life-blood, precious gift all cleansing, you paid the ransom, price of our redemption, death’s curse removing. Christ, who uplifted on the Cross of sorrow, drew all creation, piercing hearts with ardour, grant we may ever praise you and the Father, one with the Spirit. Amen. 2 Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ Psalmody Ant. 1 I asked my Father, and he has given me the nations as an inheritance. Psalm 2 1 Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? 2 They arise, the kings of the earth; princes plot against the Lord and his Anointed. 3 ‘Let us burst asunder their fetters. Let us cast off from us their chains.’ 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord derides and mocks them. 5 Then he will speak in his anger, his rage will strike them with terror. 6 ‘It is I who have appointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.’ 7 I will announce his decree: The Lord said to me, ‘You are my Son. It is I who have begotten you this day. 8 Ask of me and I will make nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth as your possession. 9 With a rod of iron you will rule them; like a potter’s jar you will shatter them.’ 10 So now, O kings, understand; take warning, rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear; exult with trembling, embrace correction, 12 lest he be angry and you perish on the way, for suddenly his anger will blaze. Blessed are all who trust in God! Ant. 1 I asked my Father, and he has given me the nations as an inheritance. Ant. 2 Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Psalm 40 (39):2-13 2 I waited, I waited for the Lord, and he stooped down to me; he heard my cry. 3 He drew me from the deadly pit, from the miry clay. He set my feet upon a rock, made my footsteps firm. 4 He put a new song into my mouth, praise of our God. Many shall see and fear and shall trust in the Lord. Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ 3 5 Blessed the man who has placed his trust in the Lord, and has not gone over to the proud who follow false gods. 6 How many are the wonders and designs that you have worked for us, O Lord my God; you have no equal. Should I wish to proclaim or speak of them, they would be more than I can tell! 7 You delight not in sacrifice and offering, but in an open ear.
