Friday, August 5 : The Roman Missal

My people, what have I done to you? How have I offended you? Answer me! (Mi 6:3). O my people, drawn astray by bitterness, Hard of heart, remember!, The Lord has set you free. Is such great love to meet with no reply? Great love of God, the crucified? I, before the dawn of time, Prepared your day; And you renounce the only Life That gives unclouded joy: My people, answer me! I burst your bonds of slavery, Drowned your enemies in the sea; Yet you hand me over to the foe, You prepare a Pasch for me: My people, answer me! I went with you on your journey, With a cloud I guided you; In your night you cover me, Know no more my glory’s way: My people, answer me! I sent out to you my prophets Who in your exile cried aloud; But you would not return, You were deaf to my appeal: My people, answer me!
