Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another; the Lord heeded and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and thought on his name. “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. Then once more you shall distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him. Mal 3:16–18

A hymn: Gloria (Puccini). This is included especially for the beauty of the opening Kyrie and Gloria (the rest is there for those who would enjoy it!):

Kyrie eleison (Latin):

Kyrie eleison - Lord, have mercy

Christe eleison - Christ, have mercy

… an appeal to God alone.

Gloria (Latin):

Gloria in excelsis deo - Glory to God in the highest!

Et in terra pax - on earth, peace.
