All Saint's Day

INTROIT Ps. 31:1, 3, 5; antiphon: Rev. 7:14b

These are the ones coming out of the great tribu- lation. 

They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame;* in your righteousness de- | liver me.

For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me.

Into your hand I commit my | spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever, Amen.

These are the ones coming out of the great tribu- | lation.

They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Introit - Ps. 54:1–3, 7; antiphon: Ps. 54:4–5:

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.
O God, save me, by your name, and vindicate me by your might.
O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God be- | fore themselves.
For he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.
He will return the evil to my enemies; in your faithfulness put an end to them.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
