Reading 1 Isaiah 25: 6-10a
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
all faces; 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.
Psalm 23: 1-3a, 3b-4,
5,6
R. (6cd) 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.
R. I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
He
guides me in right paths
for his name's sake.
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.
R. 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.
R. I shall live in the house
of the Lord all the days of my life.
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my
life;
And I shall
dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
R. I shall live in the house
of the Lord all the days of my life.
Gospel Mt 15:
29-37
At that time:
Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the
mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to
him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the
mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame
walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus summoned his disciples and
said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three
days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they
may collapse on the way." The disciples said to him, "Where could we ever get enough bread
in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?" Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do
you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish." He ordered the crowd to sit down on
the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the
loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate
and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over--seven baskets
full.
