The reasons why we praise God on Sunday, specially attending the Mass



An old hymn of the Liturgy sums up the reasons why we praise God on Sunday, specially attending the Mass:

On this day, the first of days,
God the Father’s Name we praise,
who, creation’s Lord and Spring,
did the world from darkness bring.

On this day His only Son
over death the triumph won;
on this day the Spirit came
with his gifts of living flame.

On this day His people raise,
Lord, your sacrifice of praise;
as we laud the saints above
turned on Christ’s redeeming love.

Praise for God through He be given,
praise on earth and praise in heaven,
praise to thy eternal Son.
On his day our peace we won.

(From the Breviary of the Diocese of LeMans, 1748)
