A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah

On this mountain, the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples

a feast of rich food and choice wines,

juicy, rich food and pure choice wines.

On this mountain, he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all

nations. He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face.

The reproach of his people, he will remove from the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken.

On that day it will be said, Behold our God to whom we looked to save us.

This is the Lord for whom we looked.

Let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us.

For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain.

The Word of the Lord.

Music The Word of the Lord. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose. Beside restful waters he leads me, he refreshes my soul.

I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

He guides me in right paths for his namesake.

Even though I walk in the dark valley, I fear no evil,

for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
