We follow the new way through the Spirit of Christ The Lord has told you, O man, what is good, What you do save, I will deliver up to the sword. Only to do the right and to love goodness,Īm I to bear any longer criminal hoarding The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, That you may know the just deeds of the Lord. My people, remember what Moab's King Balak planned,Īnd how Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him Pay attention, O foundations of the earth!įor the Lord has a plea against his people,įor I brought you up from the land of Egypt,įrom the place of slavery I released you Do not let us rouse your burning indignation by sin, but rather, through the contemplation of his wounds, make us burn with zeal for the honor of your Church and with grateful love for you.įrom the book of the prophet Micah 6:1-15Īrise, present your plea before the mountains, Psalm Prayer: God our Father, to show the way of salvation, you chose that the standard of the cross should go before us, and you fulfilled the ancient prophecies in Christ’s Passover from death to life. Those who love his name shall dwell there. The sons of his servants shall inherit it Let the heavens and the earth give him praise, Glory.Īntiphon 3 Seek the Lord and you will live.Īnd does not spurn his servants in their chains. In my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. I looked in vain for compassion, for consolers Glory.Īntiphon 1 I am worn out with crying, with longing for my God.Īntiphon 2 I needed food and they gave me gall I was parched with thirst and they gave me vinegar. That I have become a stranger to my brothers, Let not those who hope in you be put to shame

They offered him a mixture of wine and gall(Matthew 27:34)

Christ was a byword to the drunkard
