LECTIONARY
READINGS
The word of God proclaimed in worship makes Christ present through the power
of the Holy Spirit. In the liturgy of the Church the Sacred Scriptures find their
true home, for here both creation and redemption are crowned in mystery. God’s
word and the liturgy quench the thirst of all who seek the way, the truth and the
life. We pray that the word of God be etched indelibly in our heart and on our lips
that we may faithfully conform to it and boldly proclaim its love to all. (Additional
music for the Responsorial Psalm may be found in #15–125; music for the Gospel
Acclamation is also found in #177, 178, 187, 188, 197, 198, 207, 208, 217, 218, 235,
245, 246, 259–266.)

In days to come,
the mountain of the LORD’S house
shall be established as the
highest mountain
and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it;
many peoples shall come
and say:
“Come, let us climb the
LORD’S mountain,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may instruct us in his ways,
and we may walk in his paths.”
For from Zion shall go
forth instruction,
