Sirach 36.1-2, 5-6, 13-22 of Wednesday May 26, 2021

A A

Have mercy upon us, O God of all, and put all the nations in fear of you. Then they will know, as we have known that there is no God but you, O Lord.

Give new signs, and work other wonders. Gather all the tribes of Jacob, and give them their inheritance, as at the beginning.

Have mercy, O Lord, on the people called by your name, on Israel, whom you have named your firstborn, Have pity on your holy city Jerusalem, the place of your dwelling. Fill Zion with the celebration of your wondrous deeds and your temple with your glory.

Bear witness to those whom you created in the beginning, and fulfill the prophecies spoken in your name. Reward those who wait for you and let your prophets be found trustworthy.

Hear, O Lord, the prayer of your servants, according to the blessing of Aaron for your people, and all who are on the earth will know that you are the Lord, the God of the ages.
