For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place; This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it. --Psalm 132, appointed for the Day of St. Mary, Mother of Our Lord, Treasury, p. 623
The Divine Service for this day has the OT reading from Isaiah 61:7-11. The OT reading in the Treasury is simply lectio continua reading of 2 Sam 5:1-25.
In the Eastern tradition, this psalm (at least portions of it) is used as the refrains for the aposticha at Great Vespers of the feast.
ReplyDeleteYes, and so I was struck by its choice for Treasury, but what better Psalm can celebrate this day when "the Ark" comes to her rest?
ReplyDeleteAre there any OT readings prescribed for this day according to the Treasury? ANd if so, are any from Ezekiel, chp. 44?
