FIRST READING
"This is the nation that did not listen to the voice of the Lord his God"
Reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah (7, 23-28)
Thus says the Lord: This is the command I gave to your fathers: “Hear my voice, I will be your God, and you will be my people; you will follow all the paths that I have prescribed for you, so that you may be happy. But they did not listen, they did not listen, they followed the evil inclinations of their hardened hearts; they turned their backs and not their faces. From the day that your fathers left the land of Egypt until this day, I have tirelessly sent all my servants the prophets to you. But they didn't listen to me, they didn't listen, they stiffened their necks, they were worse than their fathers. You will say all these words to them, and they will not listen to you. You will call them, and they will not answer you. So you will tell them: “This is the nation that did not listen to the voice of the Lord their God, and did not accept a lesson! The truth has been lost, it has disappeared from their mouths. "
The Word of the Lord.
