December 16
The commemoration of Saint Haggai, the prophet, who, in the time of Zerubbabel the leader of Judah, admonished the people that they should rebuild the Lord’s house, into which the treasure of all the nations would flow.
***
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
