Cantor Male voices The Lord is great and worthy to be praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain rises in beauty, the joy of all the earth. Mount Zion, true pole of the earth, the Great King s city! God, in the midst of its citadels, has shown himself its stronghold. Female voices For the kings assembled together, together they advanced. They saw; at once they were astounded; dismayed, they fled in fear. Male voices A trembling seized them there, like the pangs of birth. By the east wind you have destroyed the ships of Tarshish. Female voices As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of our God, in the city of the Lord of hosts which God upholds for ever. Left side O God, we ponder your love within your temple. Your praise, O God, like your name reaches the ends of the earth. - 16 -

Right side Left side Right side With justice your right hand is filled. Mount Zion rejoices; the people of Judah rejoice at the sight of your judgements. Walk through Zion, walk all round it; count the number of its towers. Review all its ramparts, examine its castles, That you may tell the next generation that such is our God, our God for ever and always. It is he who leads us. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. - 17 -

Canticle Jeremiah 31 The joy of those whom God sets free Cantor Left side Right side O nations, hear the word of the Lord, proclaim it to the far-off coasts. Say: He who scattered Israel will gather him and guard him as a shepherd guards his flock. For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, has saved him from an overpowering hand. They will come and shout for joy on Mount Sion, they will stream to the blessings of the Lord, to the corn, the new wine and the oil, to the flocks of sheep and the herds. Their life will be like a watered garden. They will never be weary again. Then the young girls will rejoice and will dance, the men, young and old, will be glad. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will console them, give gladness for grief. The priests I will again feed with plenty, and my people shall be filled with my blessings. Give praise to the Father Almighty, To his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord, To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts, Both now and for ever, Amen. - 18 -

Short Reading Wisdom 6:12-14 Wisdom is radiant and unfading, and she is easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her.

Short Responsory Leader Leader Leader The word of God is alive and active. The word of God is alive and active. It cuts more finely than any double-edged sword. The word of God is alive and active.

TAIZÉ PRAYER Thursday of week 1 of the year St Francis Xavier Cathedral, Wollongong - 25 -

Taizé Prayer Prayer in the spirit of the Taizé Community is a meditative form of common prayer. Gathered in the presence of God we sing the repetitive songs, uncluttered by too many words, allowing the mystery of God to become tangible through the beauty of simplicity. A few words sung over and over again reinforce the meditative quality of prayer. These songs can sustain personal prayer, and through them, little by little, our being finds an inner unity in God. They can continue in the silence of our hearts, even when we are working or resting, thus combining prayer and daily life.

Silent Meditation Silence is essential in discovering the heart of prayer. Often God s voice comes in a whisper, in a breath of silence. Remaining in silence in God s presence, open to the Spirit, is already prayer.

To you, Lord God, my eyes are turned: in you I take refuge; spare my soul! From the trap they have laid for me keep me safe. keep me from the snares of those who do evil Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.
