Gaudens gaudebo in Domino
This is the introit of the feast of the Immaculate Conception, sung at the beginning of today’s Mass.
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, and with the robe of justice He hath covered me, as a bride adorned with her jewels.
I will extol Thee, O Lord, for Thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
