R/ (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid? R/
One thing I ask of the Lord;
this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the Lord
and contemplate his temple. R/
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord. R/
Alleluia, alleluia. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you,/ for the Spirit of God rests upon you. Alleluia, alleluia.
- Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple. l
