FIRST READING
"Let the nations learn that there is no god apart from you"
A Reading from the book of Ben Sira the Wise (36, 1-2.5-6.13.16-22)
Have mercy on us, Master and God of all; spread fear on all nations. Let them learn it, as we have learned: there is no god apart from you, Lord. Renew wonders, recommence wonders. Gather the tribes of Jacob; as in the early days, give them your inheritance. Have mercy on the people bearing your name, Israel who are your firstborn. Have compassion on your holy city, Jerusalem, the place of your rest. Fill Zion with your praise, and your sanctuary with your glory. Bear witness to your creatures of the first days; awaken the prophecies made in your name. Give the reward to those who are waiting for you; may your prophets be recognized as worthy of faith. Hear the prayers of your servants, according to your loving kindness to your people. And everyone on earth will know it:
- Word of the Lord.
