Friday in the Octave of Easter 77 53 The Lord led his people in hope, while the sea engulfed their foes, alleluia. Dicitur Glória in excélsis. Almighty ever-living God, who gave us the Paschal Mystery in the covenant you established for reconciling the human race, so dispose our minds, we pray, that what we celebrate by professing the faith we may express in 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. Perfect within us, O Lord, we pray, the solemn exchange brought about by these paschal offerings, that we may be drawn from earthly desires to a longing for the things of heaven. Through Christ our Lord. Præfatio paschalis I (in hac potíssimum die), Quando adhibetur Canon romanus, dicuntur Communicántes et Hanc ígitur propria. 21 12-13 Jesus said to his disciples: Come and eat. And he took bread and gave it to them, alleluia. Keep safe, O Lord, we pray, those whom you have saved by your kindness that, redeemed by the Passion of your Son, they may rejoice in his Resurrection. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
