Introit:
God, our protector, keep us in mind; always give strength to your people. For if we can be with you, even one day, it is better than a thousand without you. Psalm 84:10-11 [Roman Missal Sacramentary]

Protector noster apsice, Deus, et respice in faciem Christi tui: quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia. Ps. Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum! Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini. Ps. 83:10, 11 et 2, 3, [Graduale Romanum, pp. 323]

** "Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of your Anointed. For one day within your courts is more wonderful than a thousand elsewhere. How dear to me is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts! My soul has a desire and longing for the courts of the Lord.
