Responsorial Psalm (Ps 51)
R.  A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.

 Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me.
R.  A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
