Father, as you made springs in valleys to form streams between mountains, so you made living streams of grace flow from the Apostles that their teaching may bring salvation to all the nations.

Blessed are your eyes, for they see God’s works.
READINGS
First Reading
Love justice, you who judge the earth;
Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom enters not,
For wisdom is a kindly spirit,
Therefore no one who utters wicked things can go unnoticed,
Court not death by your erring way of life,
RESPONSORY Proverbs 3:13, 15, 17; James 3:17
Happy is the one who finds wisdom; it is more precious than your most valued possessions.
Wisdom that comes from God is utterly pure; it is also peaceable, gentle, full of kindness and manifests itself in good works.
Second reading
Let us fix our gaze on the Father and Creator of the whole world, and let us hold on to his peace and blessings, his splendid and surpassing gifts. Let us contemplate him in our thoughts and with our mind’s eye reflect upon the peaceful and restrained unfolding of his plan; let us consider the care with which he provides for the whole of his creation.
By his direction the heavens are in motion, and they are subject to him in peace. Day and night fulfill the course he has established without interfering with each other. The sun, the moon and the choirs of stars revolve in harmony at his command in their appointed paths without deviation. By his will the earth blossoms in the proper seasons and produces abundant food for men and animals and all the living things on it without reluctance and without any violation of what he has arranged.
Yet unexplored regions of the abysses and inexpressible realms of the deep are subject to his laws. The mass of the boundless sea, joined together by his ordinance in a single expanse, does not overflow its prescribed limits but flows as he commanded it. For he said: Thus far shall you come, and your waves will be halted here. The ocean, impassable for men, and the worlds beyond it are governed by the same edicts of the Lord.
The seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, follow one another in harmony. The quarters from which the winds blow function in due season without the least deviation. And the ever-flowing springs, created for our health as well as our enjoyment, unfailingly offer their breasts to sustain human life. The tiniest of living creatures meet together in harmony and peace. The great Creator and Lord of the universe commanded all these things to be established in peace and harmony, in his goodness to all, and in overflowing measure to us who seek refuge in his mercies through our Lord Jesus Christ; to him be glory and majesty for ever and ever. Amen.
RESPONSORY See Judith 9:12; 6:19
O Lord, you rule the heavens and the earth; you created the seas. You are the king of the universe.
Lord, God of heaven and earth, have pity on the humiliation of our people.
TE DEUM
You are God: we praise you;
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
The glorious company of apostles praise you.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you:
You, Christ, are the King of glory,
When you became man to set us free
You overcame the sting of death,
You are seated at God’s right hand in glory.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance.
Day by day we bless you.
Keep us today, Lord, from all sin.
Lord, show us your love and mercy,
In you, Lord, is our hope:
CONCLUDING PRAYER
