Jerusalem wakes up awaiting for the Pope
The Holy
Father today will arrive in this Holy City.
We propose
this psalm to accompany him in his pilgrimage
and be
with him in his travels:
Psalm 122
I rejoiced
with those who said to me,
"Let us
go to the house of the LORD."
Our feet
are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem
is built like a city
that is
closely compacted together.
That is
where the tribes go up,
the tribes
of the LORD,
to praise
the name of the LORD
according
to the statute given to Israel.
There the
thrones for judgment stand,
the thrones
of the house of David.
Pray for
the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those
who love you be secure.
May there
be peace within your walls
and security
within your citadels."
For the
sake of my brothers and friends,
I will
say, "Peace be within you."
For the
sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will
seek your prosperity.
