A reading from
the Book of the Prophet Isaiah56:1, 6-7
Thus says the Lord:/ Observe what is right, do what is just;/ for my salvation is about to come,/ my justice, about to be revealed.
The foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,/ ministering to him,/ loving the name of the Lord,/ and becoming his servants—/ all who keep the sabbath free from profanation/ and hold to my covenant,/ them I will bring to my holy mountain/ and make joyful in my house of prayer;/ their burnt offerings and sacrifices/ will be acceptable on my altar,/ for my house shall be called/ a house of prayer for all peoples.
The word of the Lord.
