7 Solemnity of the Humble Shepherds Contemporary Rite, p. 63 Hymn of Faith p. 13 vv. 1 & 2 Penitential Rite, p. 66 Entrance Hymn V. For when peaceful stillness compassed everything and the night in its swift course was half spent, Your all-powerful Word from heaven s royal throne bounded, a fierce warrior; into the doomed land. R. Your throne stands firm from of old; You are from everlasting, Lord. V. Glory be... R. As it was A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah. Jer 31:10-14 Hear the word of the LORD, you nations, proclaim it on distant coasts, and say: The One who scattered Israel, now gathers them; he guards them as a shepherd his flock. The LORD shall ransom Jacob, he shall redeem him from a hand too strong for him. Shouting, they shall mount the heights of Zion, they shall come streaming to the LORD s blessings: The grain, the wine, and the oil, flocks of sheep and cattle; They themselves shall be like watered gardens, never again neglected. Then young women shall make merry and dance, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will show them compassion and have them rejoice after their sorrows.
