DEDICATION AND INVITATORY
To Mother Mary,
without whose inspiration
this book could not have been written.
VENITE EXULTEMUS DOMINO
O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD,
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture
And the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you would hear His voice,
harden not your hearts,
As at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
“When your fathers tested me,
They tried me, though they had seen my work.
“For forty years I endured that generation,
I said, 'they are a people whose heart's have gone astray,
and they do not know my ways.'
So I swore in my anger,
'They shall not enter into my rest.'”
Psalm 95 (NASB, and borrowing slightly from other translations)
