The Sixth Sunday of Easter (Ps) May 25th

Psalm 121:1-8
1  I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2    My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3    He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4    Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5    The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
6    The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7    The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
8    The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.

Fourth
What does such baptizing with water indicate?
It indicates that the Old Adam in us should by daily contrition and repentance be drowned and die with all sins and evil desires, and that a new man should daily emerge and arise to live before God in righteousness and purity forever.
Where is this written?
 St. Paul writes in Romans chapter six: "We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life" (Romans 6:4).


O God, through the humiliation of Your Son You raised up the fallen world.  Grant to Your faithful people, rescued from the peril of everlasting death, perpetual gladness and eternal joys; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
