FIRST READING
Our ancestors were men of mercy; and their name lives on for all generations
A Reading from the book of Ben Sira the Wise (44, 1.9-13)
Let us praise these glorious men
who are our ancestors.
There are others whose memory has been lost;
they are dead, and it is as if they had never existed,
it is as if they were never born,
and so are their children after them.
It is not so with men of mercy,
their works of righteousness have not been forgotten.
With their posterity will be maintained
the beautiful heritage that are their descendants.
Their posterity persevered in the laws of the Covenant,
their children remained faithful to them because of them.
Their descendants will always subsist,
their glory will never be erased.
- Word of the Lord.
