Cornerstone

From the prayer card: "We ask God and Sr. Marie to continue to bless the cornerstone given to her, 'Around this cornerstone we will build our faith and the powers of darkness will not prevail.'"

R. (22) The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
Let the house of Israel say,“His mercy endures forever.”
Let those who fear the LORD say,“His mercy endures forever.”

R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.
or:R. Alleluia.

The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the LORD has this been done;it is wonderful in our eyes.
This is the day the LORD has made;let us be glad and rejoice in it.

R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone.
or:R. Alleluia.

O LORD, grant salvation!
O LORD, grant prosperity!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD;
we bless you from the house of the LORD.
The LORD is God, and he has given us light.
