Sundays Best - A Pick of the Readings
​​First Reading: Isaiah 53:10-11
A reading from the prophet Isaiah.
The Lord has been pleased to crush his servant with suffering. If he offers his life in atonement, he shall see his heirs, he shall have a long life and through him what the Lord wishes will be done. His soul’s anguish over he shall see the light and be content. By his sufferings shall my servant justify many, taking their faults on himself.  
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 32
The word of the Lord is faithful
and all his works to be trusted.
The Lord loves justice and right
and fills the earth with his love.
Response: May your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in you.
The Lord looks on those who revere him,
on those who hope in his love,
to rescue their souls from death,
to keep them alive in famine.
Response: May your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in you.
Our soul is waiting for the Lord.
The Lord is our help and our shield.
May your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in you.
Response: May your love be upon us, O Lord,
as we place all our hope in you.

​Second Reading: Hebrews 4:14-16
A reading from the letter to the Hebrews.
Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have the supreme high priest who has gone through to the highest heaven, we must never let go of the faith that we have professed. For it is not as if we had a high priest who was incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though he is without sin. Let us be confident, then, in approaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from him and find grace when we are in need of help.
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
