First Reading

Isaiah 30:19-21, 23-26

19For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you. 20And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor. 21And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.” 22And you will defile the plates of your silver graven images and the vestment of your gold molten idols. And you will throw these things away like the uncleanness of a menstruating woman. You will say to it, “Go away!” 23And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession. 24And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor. 25And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall. 26And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.
Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 146

1Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God. 2The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel. 3He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows. 4He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names. 5Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number. 6The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
