January 12th :  Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 39(40):2,5,7-10 

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

I waited, I waited for the Lord

  and he stooped down to me;

  he heard my cry.

Happy the man who has placed

  his trust in the Lord

and has not gone over to the rebels

  who follow false gods.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,

  but an open ear.

You do not ask for holocaust and victim.

  Instead, here am I.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

In the scroll of the book it stands written

  that I should do your will.

My God, I delight in your law

  in the depth of my heart.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

Your justice I have proclaimed

  in the great assembly.

My lips I have not sealed;

  you know it, O Lord.

Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

Gospel Acclamation cf.Col3:16a,17

Let the message of Christ, in all its richness,

find a home with you;
