Liturgy of The Word
A reading from the Book of Isaiah ( 25 : 6-9 )
On this mountain , the Lord of hosts will prepare for all peoples a banquet of rich food . On this mountain he will remove the mourning veil covering all peoples , and the shroud enwrapping all nations ; he will destroy Death for ever . The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every cheek ; he will take away his people ’ s shame everywhere on earth , for the Lord has said so . That day , it will be said : See , this is our God in whom we hoped for salvation ; the Lord is the one in whom we hoped . We exult and we rejoice that he has saved us .
The Word of The Lord All : Thanks be to God .
