A reading from
the Book of the Prophet Isaiah55:6-9
Seek the Lord while he may be found,/ call him while he is near./ Let the scoundrel forsake his way,/ and the wicked his thoughts;/ let him turn to the Lord for mercy;/ to our God, who is generous in forgiving./ For my thoughts are not your thoughts,/ nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord./ As high as the heavens are above the earth,/ so high are my ways above your ways/ and my thoughts above your thoughts.
The word of the Lord.
