Psalms 27:1, 4, 7-9, 13
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!
Thou hast said, “Seek ye my face.” My heart says to thee, “Thy face, LORD, do I seek.”
Hide not thy face from me. Turn not thy servant away in anger, thou who hast been my help. Cast me not off, forsake me not, O God of my salvation!
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!
Homily:
Amen.
