FIRST READING
"I did not hide my face in the face of outrages"
Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah (50, 4-9a)
The Lord my God has given me the language of the disciples, so that I can support the weary one with one word. Every morning, he awakens, he awakens my ear so that as a disciple, I listen. The Lord my God opened my ear, and I did not rebel, I did not shy away. I presented my back to those who hit me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard. I did not hide my face from insults and spitting. The Lord my God comes to my aid; this is why I am not affected by outrages, this is why I made my face as hard as a stone: I know that I will not be confused. He is near, the One who justifies me. Does anyone want to argue against me? Let's appear together! Does anyone want to sue me? Let him come towards me! Here is the Lord my God, he takes my defense; who will condemn me?
The Word of the Lord.
