Preface VI of Sundays in Ordinary Time: [The pledge of the eternal Passover]

It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.

For in you we live and move and have our being,
and while in this body
we not only experience the daily effect of your care,
but even now possess the pledge of life eternal.
For, having received the first fruits of the Spirit,
through whom you raised up Jesus from the dead,
we hope for an everlasting share in the Paschal Mystery.

And so, with all the Angels, we praise you,
as in joyful celebration we acclaim:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts…

blessed the man who seeks refuge in him. Psalm 34:9 [Roman Missal]

Come to me, all who labor and are burdened,
and I will refresh you, says the Lord. Matthew 11:28 [Roman Missal]
