When Noah preached God’s message of repentance, all who listened to him were saved. If we review the various ages of history, we will see that in every generation the Lord has offered the opportunity of repentance to any who were willing to turn to him. Let us fix our attention on the blood of Christ and recognize how precious it is to God his Father, since it was shed for our salvation and brought the grace of repentance to all the world. When you call on me I will say: I am here.įrom a letter to the Corinthians by Saint Clement, pope Do this and I will listen to your prayers The Lord says: The kind of fast that pleases me "Repairer of the breach," they shall call you, The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake,Īnd the foundations from ages past you shall raise up
Then light shall rise for you in the darkness,Īnd the gloom shall become for you like midday Īnd give you plenty even on the parched land. If you remove from your midst oppression, You shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer, Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,Īnd the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Sheltering the oppressed and the homeless This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: Yes, your fast ends in quarreling and fighting, Lo, on your fast day you carry out your own pursuits, Heal the weakness of your people and save us from lasting death that we may praise and glorify you forever.įrom the book of the prophet Isaiah 58:1-12Īfflict ourselves, and you take no note of it?" Psalm Prayer: You have compassion for the sinner, Lord, as a Father has compassion for his children. His justice reaches out to children's children Glory.Īntiphon 3 Bless the Lord, all you his works. So strong is his love for those who fear him.Īnd his place never sees him again. He does not treat us according to our sinsįor as the heavens are high above the earth Gives judgment for all who are oppressed.Īntiphon 1 Bless the Lord, O my soul never forget all he has done for you.Īntiphon 2 As a father is gentle with his children, so is the Lord with those who revere him. In the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high shall break upon us.
