❖ Adoration

Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is highly to be praised. High above all nations the Lord is exalted, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who is dwelling on high and nevertheless he comes down to visit what is in heaven and on earth. He raises the humble from the dust, and lifts the poor from the filth, to make him sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He makes the barren woman fruitful, and into a mother who rejoices over children. Amen.
