RESPONSORIAL PSALM:

Lord, every nation on earth will adore You.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER:

Numbers 24: 10-19;   Isaiah 25: 6-9;   Rev 2:28; 22:16

MEDITATION:

See, from out of the heart of the world

Where the sun makes its entrance

Persian sages, expert interpreters,

Discern the kingly ensign in the sky.

‘Who is this ruler so great,’ they enquire,

‘Who commands the stars,

Before whom the heavens tremble

And the light and bright heavens bow down?’

This is the king of the nations

And the king of the Jewish people

Promised to our father Abraham

And his descendants for ever.’

Jesus, to You be glory,

Who reveal yourself to the nations,

With the Father and the loving spirit

For eternal ages. Amen.

Quicumque Christum quaeritis, hymn for the feast (translated by Glenstal)
