FIRST READING
"I will make it a single nation"
Reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel (37, 21-28)
Thus says the Lord God: “I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have been. I will gather them from everywhere and bring them back to their land. I will make it one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. They will all have only one king; they will no longer form two nations; they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer make themselves unclean with their filthy idols and their horrors, with all their revolts. I will save them by removing them from all the places where they live and where they have sinned, I will cleanse them. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God. My servant David will reign over them; they will all have only one shepherd; they will walk according to my ordinances; they will keep my decrees and do them. They will live in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, the land their fathers lived in. They and their sons and their sons' sons will live there forever. David, my servant, will be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will restore them, I will multiply them, I will set my sanctuary among them forever. My home will be with them, I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, the one who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever. " I will set my sanctuary among them forever. My home will be with them, I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, the one who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever. " I will set my sanctuary among them forever. My home will be with them, I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, the one who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever. "
The Word of the Lord.
