LITURGY OF THE WORD
(Please be seated)
FIRST READING
David Lunn
A reading from the Prophet Isaiah (25: 6-9)

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples.
On this mountain he will destroy 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.
All: Thanks be to God.
