FIRST READING
"You will cast all our sins to the bottom of the sea!"
Reading from the book of the prophet Micah (7, 14-15. 18-20)
Lord, with your staff, be the shepherd of your people, of the flock which belongs to you, which remains isolated in the bush, surrounded by orchards. May he find his pasture in Bashane and Gilead, as in the days of old! As in the days when you left Egypt, you will show him wonders!
Who is God like you, to remove the crime, to pass over the revolt as you do with regard to the rest, your inheritance: a God who does not persist forever in his anger but likes to show his favor ? Once again you will show us your mercy, you will trample our crimes under foot, you will cast all our sins to the bottom of the sea! So you give Jacob your faithfulness, Abraham your favor, as you swore to our fathers from the days of old.
The Word of the Lord.
