Psalm 118(117): 1,8-9; 21-23; 26,28-29. R.22

Psalm 118 makes its third appearance in the Easter Season during Year B. The response on this occasion is ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone’. These words are a powerful evocation of what happened to Jesus from the seeming disaster of Good Friday to the triumph of Easter Sunday. Jesus should be the corner stone of our faith, filling us with awe and gratitude.
