annuntiate inter gentes opera eius
Translation
From the water of wisdom
he has given them to drink, alleluia: it will be established
in them and will not
be changed, alleluia:
and
he will exalt them
forever, alleluia,

Ps. Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name: announce among the nations
his deeds.
Poetic Meditation
I have been given the water
of wisdom to drink
That trickled first
from the temple’s broken
side.
Well past are the fearsome
days
of that temple’s upraising.
So now the waters grown
strong
in me are rising.
Wave upon wave this stream
is ocean wide.
Over the flood God intones
his song
And fountains
from the earth respond.
(from the Offertory: “The
Lord intoned from heaven…and fountains of water appeared, alleluia”)
