A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah
OLD TESTAMENT READING (First Reading)
5. Isaiah 25:6a, 7-9
A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah
On this mountain the Lord of hosts
will provide for all peoples.
On this mountain he will destroy
the veil that veils all peoples,
The web that is woven over all nations;
he will destroy death forever.
The Lord God will wipe away
the tears from all faces;
The reproach of his people he will remove
from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken.
On that day it will be said;
"Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
This is the Lord for whom we looked;
let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"
The word of the Lord
