RESPONSORIAL PSALM
R. Kindness and truth shall meet.
Show us, O LORD, your mercy,
and grant us your salvation.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.
R. Kindness and truth shall meet.
Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven.
R. Kindness and truth shall meet.
(Psalm 85)

After all that we have been through in these troubled times, we need to hear a word of kindness and truth, a word of justice and peace, and the hope of God’s glory dwelling in our land.
