0. A Song of Ascents.

1. To thee I lift up my eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens!

2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he have mercy upon us.

3. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.

4. Too long our soul has been sated with the scorn of those who are at ease, the contempt of the proud.





“Se você não entrega seu coração a Deus, o que lhe entrega?” “Você deve seguir outra estrada. Tire de seu coração todas as paixões deste mundo, humilhe-se na poeira e reze! Dessa forma, certamente você encontrará Deus, que lhe dará paz e serenidade nesta vida e a eterna beatitude na próxima.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
