R (8a) Lord, show us your mercy and love.
You have favored, O Lord, your land;
you have brought back the captives of Jacob.
You have forgiven the guilt of your people;
you have covered all their sins.
You have withdrawn all your wrath;
you have revoked your burning anger. R
Restore us, O God our savior,
and abandon your displeasure against us.
Will you be ever angry with us,
prolonging your anger to all generations? R
Will you not instead give us life;
and shall not your people rejoice in you?
Show us, O Lord, your kindness,
and grant us your salvation. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Whoever loves me will keep my word,/ and my Father will love him/ and we will come to him. Alleluia, alleluia.
- Stretching out his hands toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers.” l
