II. Selections
Psalm 16:15
You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Isaiah 31:1
Alas for those who go down to Egypt for help
and who rely on horses,
who trust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel
or consult the LORD!
Revelation 22:5
And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
Luke 1:43
" ...And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? ... " [ Elizabeth, as Mary enters]
III. Meditation: In your presence, fullness of joy
Why should it happen,
that you should come to us?
You show us the path of life.
In your presence is fullness of joy,
in your right hand pleasures forevermore.
We need neither lamp nor sun, for you are our light.
Alas for us if we go to others for help-
rely on horses and horsemen and chariots-
but do not look to you, the Holy One of Israel.
