Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 51)
R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
A clean heart create for me, O God,
and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
Cast me not off from your presence,
and your Holy Spirit take not from me.
R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
God truly is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, and full of kindness. Would that we were too!
