On Genesis 28:10-19
Antiphon: Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos
In the desert all alone
beneath his head he laid a stone
the stars looked down upon his face
in this dark desolate place.
In his dreams a ladder shone
let down from heaven to his stone
beside him holy voices spoke
out of fire and out of smoke.
"Where you go there I am too
I will always be with you"
-every place, a place of God
if floored with sand, gold, wood, or sod.

After Psalm 90
Antiphon: Laugh with the joy of the spirit; Who stands with the humble and meek.
Dearest God, our hearts and souls are yours
And have been since time began
Before the earth brought forth mountains
And before the seas were formed
From everlasting to everlasting
You are God
At your will we return to dust and are forgotten
For a thousand years in your sight
Is like yesterday when it is past
Less than a watch in the night
Our days, our lives, even our times are swept away
They are like a dream,
Like grass that withers and dies
Grass that you renew in the morning, in the spring
With the rising of your Son.
