Day of immense joy
in the city of God;
may the flame of the Spirit
shine in the Cenacle.
The wondrous gift of the prophets
is renewed on this day
and a mystic rapture
touches tongues and hearts.
Day of immense joy…
O blessed season
of the new-born Church,
who welcomes in her womb
the first fruits of the nations.
Day of immense joy…
This is the jubilee
of the fiftieth year
that ransoms the slave
and proclaims forgiveness.
Day of immense joy…
Send upon us, O Lord,
the gift of your Spirit;
grant to this restless world
justice and peace.
Day of immense joy…
Light of eternal wisdom,
reveal to us the mystery
of the one and threefold God,
fountain of eternal love.
Amen.

In the midst of a great crowd,
in the midst of all those people,
a woman, a woman touched him.
In the midst of a great crowd,
in the midst of all those people,
a woman, a woman touched him.
‘Who is it that touched me?’
‘Who is it that touched me?’
said Christ, said Christ, and he stopped.
A woman all a-tremble,
a woman all a-tremble,
said to Christ: ‘It was I.’
‘I am an impure woman,
who suffers from a flow of blood;
I am an impure woman,
who suffers from a flow of blood.’
‘But as soon as I touched your garment,
but as soon as I touched your garment,
the flow of blood stopped.’
‘Daughter,
your faith,
your faith has saved you!’
In the midst of a great crowd,
in the midst of all those people,
a woman, a woman touched him.
If you want to touch Christ,
if you want to touch Christ,
you can touch him through faith.
For he’s the Son of God,
who was to come into the world,
to heal you, to save you.
In the midst…
