0. A Song of Ascents.

1. Out of the depths I cry to thee, O LORD!

2. Lord, hear my voice! Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

3. If thou, O LORD, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

4. But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

6. my soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

7. O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8. And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.





“Por que a tentação passada deixa na alma uma certa perturbação? perguntou um penitente a Padre Pio. Ele respondeu: “Você já presenciou um tremor de terra? Quando tudo estremece a sua volta, você também é sacudido; no entanto, não necessariamente fica enterrado nos destroços!” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
