Lux Domini
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

Interpretation

Sometimes it is not easy to reconcile God's providences with his promises, yet we are sure that God's works fulfil his word. When the great Anointed One, Christ himself, was upon the cross, God seemed to have cast him off, yet did not make void his covenant, for that was established for ever.
