Numbers 6:24-26

This week’s hymn takes the words from the First reading from last Sunday, the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God.

This is our prayer for the week.

The First reading from Sunday is below:

Numbers 6:22-27

The Lord spoke to Moses and said, ‘Say this to Aaron and his sons: “This is how you are to bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: 

May the Lord bless you and keep you. 

May the Lord let his face shine on you and be gracious to you. 

May the Lord uncover his face to you and bring you peace.”

This is how they are to call down my name on the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.’
