FRIDAY, General Week 18
FIRST READING
"His coat was white as snow"
Reading of the book of the prophet Daniel 7, 9-10.13-14
At night, during a vision,
I, Daniel, watched:
thrones were arranged,
and an Old Man took his place;
his coat was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like immaculate wool;
his throne was made of flames of fire,
with wheels of fiery fire.
A river of fire flowed, which gushed before him.
Thousands of thousands served him,
myriads of myriads stood before him.
The tribunal took its place and books were opened.
I watched, during the visions of the night,
and I saw coming, with the clouds of the sky,
like a Son of man;
he came to the Old Man,
and they made him walk ahead of him.
And he was given
rulership, and glory, and kingship;
all peoples, nations, and people of all languages
served him.
His rulership is eternal rulership,
which will not pass away,
and his kingship
a kingship that will not be destroyed.
- Word of the Lord.
