August 18th : First Reading
Wisdom builds her house and invites all to eat her bread there.
A reading from the Book of Proverbs 9: 1-6
Wisdom has built herself a house, she has erected her seven pillars, she has slaughtered her beasts, prepared her wine, she has laid her table.She has despatched her maidservants and proclaimed from the city’s heights: ‘Who is ignorant? Let him step this way.’ To the fool she says,‘Come and eat my bread, drink the wine I have prepared! Leave your folly and you will live,walk in the ways of perception.’
The Word of the Lord.
