He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. For He heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And, face to face, He gave him the Commandments, the law of life and understanding. [Graduale] !Ps 20:4-5 O Lord, You welcomed him with goodly blessings, You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
