1. Alleluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the family of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

2. Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his possession.

3. At his sight the sea fled and the Jordan retreated;

4. the mountains skipped like rams, the hills frolicked like lambs.

5. Why is it, sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back?

6. Mountains, that you skip like rams? Hills, that you frolic like lambs?

7. Tremble, O earth, at your Master's presence, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8. who turned the rock into a stream, and the flint into a spring.





“A natureza humana também quer a sua parte. Até Maria, Mãe de Jesus, que sabia que por meio de Sua morte a humanidade seria redimida, chorou e sofreu – e como sofreu!” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
