Complementary psalmody. However, if the solemnity is celebrated on Sunday, the psalms are taken from Sunday, Week I.

Mid-morning

Ant. May the blood of Christ be our consolation in life,
our hope in heaven.

READING Revelation 4:11

Worthy are you, Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things; because of your will they came to be and were created.

V. Amen! Honor, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving,
R. honor, power and might to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Midday

Ant. The Lord Jesus is total goodness and love.
To give us his life he allowed himself to be crucified.

READING Revelation 5:9-10
Worthy are you to receive the scroll and to break open its seals, for you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue, people and nation. You made them a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on earth.

V. Worthy is the Lamb to receive glory,
R. honor and blessings.

Mid-afternoon

Ant. The blood of the Son of God
heals, sanctifies and gives life.

READING Revelation 21:5-7

The one who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then he said, “Write these words down, for they are trustworthy and true.” He said to me, “They are accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give a gift from the spring of life-giving water. The victor will inherit these gifts, and I shall be his God, and he will be my son.”

V. The Lamb who sits on the throne will be their shepherd,
R. who will lead them to the springs of the living water.

Prayer

Almighty and merciful God, who gave us an ardent witness of love for your divinity and for our neighbour in Saint Gaspar del Bufalo, priest and dedicated missionary of the Precious Blood of Christ; through his intercession, listen to the voice of the blood of your Son which daily rises to you from the earth in the painful cry of suffering humanity. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
