Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 33)
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he has chosen for his own inheritance. From heaven the LORD looks down; he sees all mankind.

Nationalism parading as Biblical faith is contrary to the teaching of the church. There is a reason that in the creed (the profession of faith) we say the “catholic” church. Catholic means universal, for all peoples of all times. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us: All are called to belong to the new People of God (CCC 831).
