December 2
The commemoration of Saint Habakkuk, the prophet, who in the face of wickedness and violence announced the Lord’s judgment of men, but also his mercy, saying, “But the just one shall live by his faith.”
***
May Holy Mary and all the saints intercede to the Lord for us, that we may merit to be helped and saved by him who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
V. Precious in the sight of the Lord
R. Is the death of his holy ones.
V. May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in pace.
R. Amen
