1. Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD!

2. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore!

3. From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised!

4. The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens!

5. Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high,

6. who looks far down upon the heavens and the earth?

7. He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8. to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

9. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!





“Menosprezai vossas tentações e não vos demoreis nelas. Imaginai estar na presença de Jesus. O crucificado se lança em vossos braços e mora no vosso coração. Beijai-Lhe a chaga do lado, dizendo: ‘Aqui está minha esperança; a fonte viva da minha felicidade. Seguro-vos, ó Jesus, e não me aparto de vós, até que me tenhais posto a salvo’”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
