Thursday in the Octave of Easter 10 20-21 They praised in unison your conquering hand, O Lord, for wisdom opened mouths that were mute and gave eloquence to the tongues of infants, alleluia. Dicitur Glória in excélsis. O God, who have united the many nations in confessing your name, grant that those reborn in the font of Baptism may be one in the faith of their hearts and the homage of their deeds. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Graciously be pleased, O Lord, to accept the sacrificial gifts we offer joyfully both for those who have been reborn and in hope of your increased help from heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Præfatio paschalis I (in hac potíssimum die), Quando adhibetur Canon romanus, dicuntur Communicántes et Hanc ígitur propria. 2 9 O chosen people, proclaim the mighty works of him, who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light, alleluia. Hear, O Lord, our prayers, that this most holy exchange, by which you have redeemed us, may bring your help in this present life and ensure for us eternal gladness. Through Christ our Lord.
